Singapore part 2 - Shopping, or the lack thereof

Singapore ended up being a total clothes fail scenario. Even Forever 21 let me down. I'm not sure why I am surprised at such a turn of events, I've been to the US 6 times and only crossed it's portal once that I am aware of, considering it not do much beneath me but the kind of cheap trash (the closest parallel I can think of is New Look) I can get at home. Of course such places always have the odd gem, but it's never seemed worth bringing home (as part of my 40+kgs, ah those were the days).

However, one of the make up bloggers I read & watch (lollipop26, who became netfamous on youtube but also has a blog) is a big fan, and i started going in there when I saw it in Singapore. I think I only got one item, it is a gem though. But really this venture is pointless as the blogger is a completely different shape, coloring, everything to me, so what suits her does not suit me. for example, racer back vests. And teal. Sigh. This time I was convinced Forever 21 would be the place to sort me out for a nice semi-cazh top and maybe a vest, but no. Nothing.

So all I have to show for my trip is a refill for my eyebrow-drawer-inner (ah pants, I forgot to get my eyebrows done), a lipgloss, a concealer brush from Sephora (seriously, why do we not have Sephora in the British Isles? No, Boots is not the same) a Kipling bag (I've always hated the bag I brought – a crossbody style purchased for practicality not looks, it's the fallback for when I'm stuck for a gig or match but the strap irritates my neck, and it was a bit too small for this trip as it only fits very small books. And it is fug.) which is quite nice but was a hundred bucks (!!! I need to speak to *someone* about how they fund their Kipling addiction). Oh and apparently about 4kg of books. Scales at Changi came in at 16.9kg, though they did then go to a more reasonable 15.3 when she moved the belt, so possibly I only got 2.4 kilos of books. Ahem. Well, the first shop had buy 2 get 155 off the total, and the second had everything for 6 dollars so it seemed foolish to not buy any. What if I was trapped bookless somewhere? Since I've already read 3 of them, it seems that such a scenario is still possible.

Onwards to Oz.
