Uniqloooo

Thanks to patlaw, i won myself a preview to Uniqlo’s opening at Ion Orchard on Wednesday!

I got to meet the people behind some of the blogs i read!


Sarah + Jo of Wottoncool and Nicole of Cherry Magazine


xwen of Fash-Eccentric!

And got to see familiar faces,

Dottie of Fashion Nation

It was a little tough picking out stuff for myself, i have to admit, i’m not much of a ‘basics’ person. My eye kept going to this magenta+blue flannel shirt but somehow it never ended up in my basket so alas, it wasn’t meant to be!

This is what i ended up buying with the $100 gift voucher (how generous Uniqlo!); it all came together nicely to make an outfit. So happy to finally own a handy brolly – you have no idea – it’s one of those things i can’t bring myself to buy.

{The tote, scarf and hanky was part of the goodie bag}

    you guys look so young and cute.

    i’m glad to see you found some things you liked enough there. umbrellas are so so crucial! i love simple and basic, but uniqlo just doesn’t do it for me… did you get the feeling it’ll do well in your country?

    sheryo: haha! i was wondering for a while if i should put the photo up cos if i were him, i’d be not very pleased lol. But it was my only photo of xwen for the day!

    ai: This is the second store that opened here and what i heard about the first store (and it isn’t situated in the city) was that throngs and throngs of people bought like crazy when it first opened. Not sure about now tho. I think it’ll do well here, their prices are affordable compared to say Gap? But some friends say the selection they bring in here is disappointing. They raved about the ones in Tokyo! Hahaha. I went to the store in NYC and i loved it tho, altho i didn’t buy much. The store itself was really nice to wander about in.

    jo: It was my only shot of her :( The day was wayyy to weird to go around snapping in people’s faces. It was very nice to meet you! You’re taller than i imagined!! I wasn’t mentally prepped on meeting anyone so i didn’t have the best things to say.

    This looks like such a fun day. You must’ve had a wicked awesome time!

    I adore the photograph of you and Jayden. It’s so interesting how the setting is so blurry behind you but you guys are crystal clear. It’s like everything’s moving faster behind you.

    Great photos!

    pat: Fatboy’s not a friendly cat tho! He’d hide under the bed if there’s a dog around. I tried it once. He likes humans more than four-legged friends :(

    What a score! Lucky lucky you. I know what you mean about not being much of a “basics” person. But despite that, I always spend so much time at Uniqlo.
