a break from F1 centric posts

Yes, my life doesn't revolve entirely around Kimi and what he does :D A good portion of it does but not all of it.

I got a "Miss Ya" coupon code from Zalora which ends tonight so decided to make use of it. I was thinking about these Melissa wedges which cost a lil over USD150 but after my 25% discount would be about 120 bucks roundabout. In the end I decided against it considering I can't figure out the Melissa shoe sizing online. The wedges I got last time in a 9 were too big and I have barely worn them at all cos they are loose. And the last time I tried a size down seemed it was too tight. There largest pair were an 8 - I just didn't want to chance getting an expensive pair of plastic shoes and not wear them. Again :)

So instead, I got myself these lovely pair of open toe leather booties from Zang Toi. These designer kicks were already on sale half off and with my additional 25% coupon, I paid a mere USD46.11.


As I was browsing more shoes, came across these chunky platforms by the Brazilian brand Schutz. They were about 75% off already and with my coupon code would cost only $13.61. I figured why not. I don't own any shoes in this hue (called coconut) and they were going for really cheap. Oh yeah, they're also FRICKIN LEATHER BABY!!!! Was cheap cos it was the last pair in 8.5. I was lucky :D


Next I went for some clothes. The site was having a sale section where everything was going for roughly $8.90 and under. I saw this cute colour-blocked, peplum-y top going for $8.90 and after applying the discount, would only end up paying $6.68.


Last but not least are these Reebok woven dance cargos. I think they look comfy. I've a holiday coming up where I'm gonna be gallivanting on foot through nature quite a bit so thought these might be worthwhile to bring along. They're lightweight and apparently very comfy from the reviews I read on Amazon. After all discounts applied, I paid USD25.14 for these.


So what's the total on this score you may (or may not :D) ask? A very frugal (by my standards) $91.54. Ok, as frugal as I can get for 4 items. In my defense, those Reebok pants alone costs $60 on Amazon and those Zang Toi shoes are D-E-S-I-G-N-E-R! Basically, I saved and that's what matters, hehehe.

UPDATE:
Loved everything but had to return the Schutz shoes cos even though the size was right, the shoe was too narrow for my un-dainty feet :D
