I was browsing through my favourite blog - Karen Cheng, noticed a new online shopping website called fashion Junkee. My goodness the bags they selling damn gorgeous.

Check out some of the bags which I’m interested in:

^ Pink bags are always my favourite, but yet to own one!

^ Cute right! Cow printed patterns!

^ Never had this color of bag before as well.

^ Love this design, can be use for causal & work.

^ Simple & elegant

^ Love this simple design as well.

^ This really looks like the Chanel Bag which I always wanted! But too bad currently out of stock.

^ Suitable for weekend use!

Besides bags, they do have lots of surprises too, especially the dresses. Worth browsing through.

First of all I should admit that I’m really addicted to online shopping, & its pretty serious! Ha!

A friend gave me a link to Gymboree yesterday & I’m totally obsessed with it! Because once I click the link, this photo shows up at the front page for Baby Girl Clothing.

I mean its always the style that I dreamt to dress my girls into, so the night was busy browsing through the web site, especially the column which has the word “SALES”!!!

Gymboree is a US brand that sells children clothes, I find they are relatively cheaper than those selling in the shop, especially in the Sales section.

For all the WAHS…OOOO…HMMMM….These are the clothes I have bought

Don’t they look lovely!! hahha…I really enjoy shopping clothes for my kids, they are so lovely until I wish to buy all the outfits. Love the colors, so bright & colorful! Sob…sob..I think my budget for my clothes has to be shift to my kids!!

Recently I’m totally in love with THEFACESHOP skin care products. I came across this brand was a few days ago I went Xujiahui for window shopping, then passed by this shop, being attracted with the display with their products. So went in to take alook, the sales girls made me feel welcome as well.

I started telling her the problem I’m facing with my skin; actually my skin was really dry, nothing works for me, especially after I apply my foundation, my face look even dryer.

They have lots of products, even for babies & men’s skin care as well. Anyway, I’m totally in love with them now, its like everytime I see the shop, sure have the urge of buying something, coz their packaging are so lovely.

A friend of mine came to visit me in Shanghai, so brought him to shop around.

Yesterday went to this place called the Shanghai Outlet, located at Zhaoxiang (赵巷), along A9 highway. The place really looks like the outlets I have been to in UK & Chicago. They are divided into 3 area (A, B & C), where there are international & local brands available, ranging from clothes for children & adults, as well as home used.

International brands include Lacoste, Nine West, Nike, Miss Sixty, Levis, Armani, Burberry, Bally, Hugo Boss, etc.

At first we were so excitied to go there, you know outlets usually full of cheap branded clothes. Even its outdated, yet its really worth buying & shop around. However we were really disappointed once we visited the 1st shop Armani, we found the price wasn’t we expected, it was still expensive, maybe just 30% lower than the original price sell in the shopping mall. But the price is higher compared to Singapore ones, so we guess its because of the 17% VAT. Products made in China, yet more expensive than products exported to Singapore. hmmm…really cannot figure out.

In the end I got 2 jackets (Local Brand) for my kids, 1 Nike T-shirt & lingerie.

So conclusion is don’t go there!! So expensive. However if you are really interested to know the location, below is the address:

Shanghai Outlets Brand Direct Sale Plaza Co., Ltd

2888 Huqingping Road (Jiasong Road (C)).

Customer service Telephone No: (021) 59756617

The other day I was talking about the clothes which bought it at FOND located in Parkway Parade. I was searching through the website to see if they have a official website, but too bad can’t download the photos from their official website. So I decided to parade it out myself, before that I’ll like to talk a little facts about this brand.

FOND is actually a Singapore brand fashion wear, which they are not just selling clothes, they sell bags, accessories, shoes, belts & men’s wear as well. Most of their clothes need to be hand washed, don’t need to dry clean. Their price is quite expensive, but I think is worth it cause is very comfortable & stylish. OH..they have lots of accessories as well, love them all!

Currently, they have 5 outlets in Singapore - Great World City, Novena Square, Suntec City, Parkway Parade & Tampines Mall. Please take note the outlet at Great World City has closed for renovation from 23rd Feb - 28th March.

Ok, Ladies & Gentlemen, boys & girls, Ah Ma & Ah Gong, let me present to you Staceyspa’s Top 5 best outfits from the FOND…

*Please take note below model is not train as a professional, so please bear with her*

This was the 1st one I’ve spotted, like the prints on the top & also the collar area.

This one was recommended by the sales girl, like the feel of it when I was looking at the mirror.

For this top there are 2 choices, one is this, the other was orange+brown color (can’t remember, but something like that). But my sister say I will look old if wear the orange one, so I tried this. Usually I don’t like to buy clothes that has belts around the wrist as I’m always worry that my little tummy will be seen. However, after trying, it turns out OK! See can see my “S” figure…hhahaa..

This top is suppose to wear it with a dirty green pants, which I was too lazy to change it, so wear it with the black pants. hmmm…it didn’t look so matching.

 My sister insist that I should wear this during her graduation, but I don’t feel its appropriate to this, its so casual. But the sales lady mention this can be wore to high class gathering. Hmm…

This is the end of the show, thanks for coming. Hope you enjoy the fashion show specially organised by Staceyspa.

PS. hahhaaa…can’t help it..sometimes I think why am I so Lame!

These few days being busy traveling down to City as my cousin & her husband came to Shanghai for holiday, as they are insurance agents. Once fight & reach for certain target, they will be able to travel for free! So good life!

Anyway, wanted to bring them to night markets, apparently hard to find now. Those places that used to have it, now gone, not sure where they have been. I checked with the security guards, they said all moved long time ago as it is illegal to display stalls outside shopping malls. hmmm…so disappointed, thought can search for some “treasure”. Then ended up bring them to eat the famous Beijing roast duck..yum yum.. It was great! It is really the traditional Beijing roast duck, where they bring the receipts to Shanghai & a lot of famous people have come to try it. The crispy skin really melts in the mouth, my cousin & her husband really love it. At least this Beijing roast duck ease away my disappointment.

Then we went to Xi Tian Di (New Century), where alot of pubs & western restaurants are. A very nice place to hang out with friends during the night. So brought them to walk around, there were a new interesting stalls selling accessories, paintings, etc. I bought a necklace which the pendent is made of glass, pretty interesting.

This is how the necklace looks like, lets have a close up look

Pretty right? hahaa..the most important thing is its not expensive, only RMB135 plus they give you a nice pouch to put the necklace. There are lots of designs & it is only limited to one, so don’t have to worry someone else has the same necklace as yours.

For expensive necklance, I should mention is what PC has bought me

Diamonds!!! He bought it in a shop at Xi Tian Di. Actually they are gems but they use Diamond cutting skills, hence it really looks like Diamond! Lets have a close up look

The actual thing look very shiny, like the stars. Its costs about RMB1,900.

Don’t they look lovely. hehhee…

These few days I realise the weather is getting warm especially when the Sun is out shining bright, its about 15 ~16 degrees during day time & drop to 5 degrees during night time. What a beautiful weather…

hmmm..should prepare myself for this beautiful spring.
