Members Have Privileges...

There were only a few times I ever paid full retail for designer items... it was so I could get my hands on the Club 21 card...

Among the many privileges... besides... clocking points on purchases... which can than be exchanged for vouchers...

The privilege that I wanted to enjoy most is the one for this event...


Club 21 End Of Season Sale Cardmembers Preview...


Maybe... just maybe... I could get dips on some of the choice items... before they are all "gone"...

Gifts From Friends Who Travels...

In this case... a gift from my sister... JC... from her trip to Macau...


Pineapple Tarts... which is kinda strange since I have never hear of Macau for being known for pineapple tarts... albeit Portuguese Pineapple tarts...

The packaging is of course lovely...


But the taste was just mediocre... especially when compared to the recent Taiwan pineapple pie and my fave... Seasons pineapple tarts...The pastry skin was thin but bland... the pineapple filling not too coy but dry...


It was sweet of JC to get them for me... I luv pineapple tarts... but in this case...

Maybe JC should have just stuck with the traditional almond biscuits...



My Shopping Conquests... Agnes b. Flying Heart Sliver Shoes... Agnes b. Bracelets... Pins & Badge...

I  managed to score some pretty good bargains during the Isetan/Agnes b. Bazaars Sale... a few weeks back...


Utilising my Isetan vouches and Agnes b. up to 70% discount... I got myself

From the Agnes b. Sport b. collection...

Flying Heart Sliver Shoes...


The Flying Heart was designed by Ms Agnes herself for the opening of their Taiwan Flagship store... about 2 years back... a whole collection of clothes and accessories were created using the Flying Heart motif...


I luv shoes... especially a pair that makes a statement... this came perfect as my previous sliver Onitsuka Tigers are getting worn out and desperately needs to retire... 

The best part was...

IT WAS THE ONE AND ONLY PAIR AND IN MY SIZE!!!!!!!!

Of course I had to grab some of the accessories... I heart Agnes b. accessories... they are well made... and stays tarnish free...

My Shopping Conquests... Online... MBMJ iPhone Case... Rubber Bracelets

Guess what came in the mail today...


From Shopbop.com...


More Marc by Marc Jacobs items...


From pre S/S 2012 collection...

Mr Marc iPhone case...


I have been drooling over this Mr Marc iphone case ever since I lay eyes on it...

 http://borntoshopforcedtowork.blogspot.com/2012/01/drooling-over-marc-by-marc-jacobs-mr_04.html

But missed getting it and it became sold out... so imagine my excitement when I chance upon it again on Shopbop and promptly bought it...

Rumours has it that this might possibly be the last time Mr Marc Jacobs will be collaborating with Will Broome for Mr Marc/Miss Marc designs... which I hope is not true because... these characters have become symbolic icons for MBMJ and would be missed by many... myself included...

Marc By Marc Jacobs Rubber Turnlock Bracelet...


Made of silicon rubber... in neon hues of fluoro pink ( fuchsia)... amethyst (purple)... shock red (deep orange)... bright grass (green)... Iris (Navy Blue) and Black... and each comes with a small turnlock charm in either silver, gunmetal or gold...

I first saw these at the MBMJ store at Isetan where i bought one immediately as a gift for Sista CT's upcoming birthday...

So when I saw Shopbop offering these at a better price... I just couldn't resist...

I got both the the black with silver charm... and the Iris with gunmetal... simply because I couldn't decide on one...

Finally got my hands on... thru dearest friends that travelled... Marc by Marc Jacobs London Store Special Items...

Big thanks and hugs to RG and KW... for helping me to shop at the MBMJ store in London... as well as... helping me lugged back my mini haul...

I had to restrain myself from buying everything in the store... and decided on some items that I have been drooling over...

MBMJ Lock necklace... suede tour bracelets in black and brown... key fobs... Dark Heather Grey MBMJ City Tee...


The lovely black and olive green tote was a gift from RG... Thank you dear... Luv... Luv... Luv... it!

MBMJ Flip Flops... finally!!! Only GBP7 a pair!!!
