Open the Future

Luxury will be simplicity.

Purity in design, beauty and comfort for all.

Quality for the people.

Basics are the common language.

The future is here.+J

This tag appears in all Jil Sander’s line for Uniqlo called ‘+J’ and all appeals have her stamp of personal minimalist. It's one of the most exciting collaboration among many such as H&M with Jimmy Choo.It was launched last year. The prices were relatively reasonable. Yes, I was tempted coz luxury is now within reach. But not within my reach and decided not to get it.

I was visiting Uniqlo very recently and discovered that they were having a sale on +J appeals. This made my heart beat fast. So fast and I grabbed 2 tops (1 black and gray). These are made from extra fine Merino wool 16.5. Each cost SGD 29.90.

However, there was a further SGD 10 off when I went back to see whether there were any more stuff to buy. Was not particularly upset. Emerging with 4 more tops and each cost SGD 19.90. It was a steal and I had 3 blacks and 3 grays. If that was not enough, I bought 2 more cardigans and a navy top. The cardigans cost SGD 29.90 and the original prices were SGD 80 above. Yes, this made my eyes lit up.

This sounds an crazy frenzy to buy couple of pieces of luxury at low prices and thought this pieces were better than my normal knitted tops.

Here is a couple of pieces of my collection.

Time to be 'girlish'

Was blogging about going to the new Uniqlo mega store at 313 Orchard previously. Went there again and try my luck to get a sweater that I saw during my previous trip. My size was not available and was not keen to get it in the men's version.

What caught my eyes were 2 polo dresses in both black as well as blue and these were made from Supima (extra fine cotton). These were retailing for SGD 49 and were on special offer. The downside was the belts were missing and was fine with there as I could go belt-less.

Initally, I thought it was SGD 14.90 and decided to get the black. Had taken out my credit card and was prepared to pay at this price. However, the figure was SGD 9.90 and was happy with this purchase. I couldnt purchase the blue as the queue for payment was long.

In the end, I went back to get the blue dress within the same day (few hours apart).

PS : Glad that there was a mega opening sale in this store. Some items were good buys. However, the crowd did created a mess in the store and you could see people from different walks of life came in to shop.

Honestly, I dont really like the idea of wearing the same top as everybody else and felt that the crowd could have 'cheapened' the brand image. Would rather prefer this brand to remain exclusive instead just like H & M.

PPS : I didnt queue during all those times when I was there at 313.

Here are my loots ~ polo dresses.

031209 : Driven to boredom

Went to Starbucks and realised it was their Open House. Got my free frup and this happened from 5 - 7 pm at any Starbucks.

It's also the opening of Uniqlo in 313 Orchard. Oh gosh, it's crowded with lotsa people. However, I didnt queue up to go in but went there later in the night. Wanted to buy a black turtleneck sweater but I did looked ugly especially when I'm plus-sized and not exactly flat-chested. Hence, I looked pudgy. Gave up on this item though the basket was completely filled with this item.

Besides, there were other items on sale such as jeans and parkas. The jeans sizes offered were too small for me and decided to look for a plain parkas. Couldnt find the female version but ended with a male version. Loving it!

Those items on sale had the 60th Anniversary tag and below is the gray simple parka that I've picked up at SGD 9.90 only.

PS : Went down to 313 Orchard today (6th December) and it was crowded. The picture below probably explained the traffic volume in this new store. Of course, I didnt wait as there was a long queue and it's probably due to the steep discounts for some of the items offered for the store opening.

Gatchaman UT

Went to Uniqlo with SL and wanted to check whether they have Tatsunoko tees particularly the Gatchaman UT ones.

At first, the SA mentioned that they ran OOS and she was nice to check. She managed to find not just 1 but probably 4 more. Hooray, more choices for me to choose from.

Oh boy, I was really lucky (I should be so lucky, lucky, lucky). Managed to get 1 piece very recently not even during the shop opening.

BTW, the best part it was reduced to SGD 20 (approx). Was delighted to get it as this was one of the cartoon programmes watched when I was younger.

Yah...Here is the picture of my prized T. I<3 my T. PS : I've got my t from the older Uniqlo not the new store.
