Shopping at Johor Premium Outlet (JPO)


So I did a little shopping at Johor Premium Outlet (JPO) yesterday. Let me describe abit about what JPO is if you didn't know about it. It is a shopping mall that consists of many high street and high end brands. Some brands include Armani Exchange, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Guess, Vicoria Secret and many many more! We reached there at about 1 plus due to the jam. We had lunch at Kampachi Japanese Restaurant and by the time we were ready to shop it's already 2. Half a day is gone and we haven't start shopping! When it comes to shopping, I am so excited! I kept hurrying my mom and uncle to leave the restaurant. Finally, we began our shopping experience. The first stop was at Roxy, I tried on 2 dresses. The black and white dress was the first one I tried on. I actually liked it because it was casual and not too tight fitting that will suffocate me. However I didn't buy it..oh well. The second dress is the blue dress which is shown abit in this picture. I shall not post the picture of me in it because it doesn't look very nice on me.

 Next stop was at Guess. They have this Happy Hour promotion between 12pm-2pm and 6pm-8pm! If you happen to be shopping at other hours, don't worry! You can reserve your clothes at the counter and make payment at the respective timings! How good is that?! There is a further 20% off discount if you buy 2 or more items provided that the price of the item has a 30 cents or 50 cents. I know it is a weird condition but oh well. I really loveeeee this top! It has adjustable straps ( perfect for petite ladies like me! ) What I really  like about this top is the design of it. It is a white top with random pink strokes on it. The bottom part gives a pom pom effect. The little v-neck line makes it okay to wear it if you are not busty. But.....the problem is there is a default in the straps. If you were see up close, the strap is in the opposite direction. So I didn't buy it even though I really wanted it :(

Next stop was Armani Exchange. Everything here is so much much much cheaper than in Singapore. I tried on 2 love sleeve tops- same design but in different colours ( black and red ). At first, I only tried on the the black one but my mom keeps insisting that I look too 'thin' in it and asked me to try another colour. I knew that black was the right one for me but I tried the other colour anyway. I regretted trying it on because I fell in love with it. Now I was in a dilemma on which color to choose.. the black or the red? Both colours are good to wear for different occasions. Black gives the more matured and classy feel whereas red gives a more casual look. So which did I choose? Black.

Mummy also bought a tunic from here. I liked the print on the tunic. I preferred the beige colour because the print is more visible which is the whole point of buying the tunic. She tried on the black one but couldn't really see the print. So it looks like an ordinary plain black tunic.

More selfies to come......


Next stop was at The Bold and Beautiful, I think it is like the sister shop of Elle because they had the same pieces in both stores. Once again I got into the lace craze again hehe.. I bought the first top because I find it so cute and unique! Look it even has a lace hoodie! I couldn't resist it!
I think this was too ordinary so didn't buy it



I even got my mom into the lace craze opps.. she bought the purplish blue lace top which I'm gonna steal from her soon haha! 





Took a break from shopping, so we had crepes! It is a must to have at there! I got the chocolate banana while my mom got the ham, cheese and a whole top of toppings in it. It was so good and cheap! 

Last photo of the day at JPO! We didn't really much photos because we were rushing to shop. Honestly half a day of shopping is not enough! We have to come here again, maybe next month ( after I get my pay hehehe!)  


This were some things I got from Victoria Secret, and once again the things there are SO MUCH CHEAPER than in Singapore!!!! The panties are 5 for RM 75, that is like about SGD6! And the wallet is about SGD40 plus. 




And that's all my hauls from JPO! I will definetely be back here soon to find more good deals! Thanks for reading! Byeeee~

A little brief introduction

Hello readers! This is my first post of this new blog! So...I'm starting to blog again, the last time I blogged was so long ago, I think it was when I was in my lower secondary. Back then, I blogged about rubbish because blogging then was like the trend. Everybody in my class had a blog, so I went to make one. I had no purpose in blogging and I was too young to blog about current affairs or about my passion. Now, I do have a purpose and I want to blog about my passion for fashion. I have been wanting to write a blog for quite a while but due to O levels, I couldn't. Now that O levels have passed and staying at home has made me bored to tears, I have decided it's time that I do something productive. I actually wanted to start right away after my O's but opps, I was too lazy ( a major exam has just ended, of course I need time to relax!) and procrastination.... Tomorrow is my first day of work ( a WAKE UP CALL that I start doing something productive!! ). I have gotten the job at Parco, still freaking out about it! I think this job is a very good start because in the future, I want to work in the fashion industry. So I was looking for a job related to fashion, like working as a sales assistant ( NEVER will I work in a F&B outlet) I was hoping to get a job at a high street brand like Topshop but consider myself lucky, I got a job that not only gives me an experience in retail sales, but also a chance to meet local designers! If I were to work in maybe Topshop, meeting designers is impossible. Moreover, I should be supporting and embracing local designers right? They are our future fashion designers in Singapore! Sadly, I feel that they are not really appreciated here. For example, when I went to Parco, there were hardly any customers and honestly before I gotten the job at Parco, I had no clue what Parco was! But I am glad I still got to know Parco and even work for them. As I walked around Parco Next Next, I feel that the clothes displayed have the potential of being successful designers. There are so many different styles! The pieces there are limited, so chances of somebody wearing the same clothes as you is limited. If you are like me who likes to dress differently from others, then Parco is a good place to shop at. Also, Parco is not crowded. If you do not like to squeeze in with the crowd while shopping, then you should come to Parco! It is organised according to brands, different brands have different styles. So if you are a funky type of person, you should just focus on one brand. Okay enough about Parco, I haven't even started working at Parco! I am sorry that my blog is so unappealing and boring! I am still new to blogging. I was kinda frustrated just now about the template because I totally forgot how to edit template and other stuff. I hope my posts will interest you and thanks for reading my first post! Xoxo, Cheryl
