Watch the video I did with Jurong Point here

If you are wondering what am I doing in Jurong Point Shopping Centre, well, because I travel for food and shopping. I recently discover I can have all my favourite Asian food under one roof. Jurong Point has a Malaysia themed food court - Malaysia Boleh and so, HELLO THERE KL black hokkien mee! Penang char kway teow! Please also treat yourself to the Hong Kong delicacies at Mongkok (located on Level 3) and do stop by Tuk Tuk Cha for authentic Thai Iced Tea! Ahh, simple food like these make me so happy and I'm glad I don't have to fly to separate destinations to get my cravings satiated.

Thankfully, other than food, there's lots to do in Jurong Point (it's the largest suburban mall in Singapore, after all!) so you will see me popping in and out of stores after my meal. In fact, I can spend an entire afternoon in the mall because it's so huge and there is everything I need.

I thought it'll be fun to do up a shopping guide as you #followmeto Jurong Point, your next fashion destination, as I play dress up in the stores and share some of my picks since it's the GSS, also known as the best time to shop during the year.

First stop, Esprit (#01-34, JP1)!

I picked 3 outfits from the huge selection available in store. For something more formal/dressy, I don't think you could go wrong with a maxi dress (the chambray fabric was so soft on the skin btw!). Add on a straw hat and a knit cover-up for that beach vacation and there you go, additional mileage for the dress!

If you are doing casual for the weekend, my picks are the soft printed blouses and shorts or the off-shoulder playsuit. The leather selection in classic and earthy tones will add an edge to your outfit.

Other similar store alternatives I'd recommend are Uniqlo and G2000.

Moving on, located in the same wing as Esprit, is Bonia (#01-02, JP1).

Aren't those floral embellished bags the cutest designs you've seen this week?? I love Bonia's recent trendy designs. They are fun and cute and are definitely gonna make a statement with your outfits. If girly is not up your alley, opt for the safer colours and classic silhouettes!

I guess it is pretty obvious the petite cross body is my favourite of all. In fact, it was the first bag I reached out for after I entered the store!

So we've got our outfit and bag settled, it's time for the shoes.

Contrary to popular beliefs, Anna Nucci (#01-11, JP2) is not just for the brides-to-be. Personally, I feel there is a good mix of the style of shoes available for different occasions. I am not very adventurous when it comes to footwear and I tend to stick to simple designs and colours but the denim sandals with embroidered wedge stole my heart. The height was comfortable and they were so easy to walk in!

Head over to Charles & Keith, DMK and Jelly Bunny for more shoe shopping!

And for my last stop of the day, I went to browse for some accessories at Talisman's (#03-67, JP2) to spice up my wardrobe. This is the place if you are looking for a funky headgear, chunky necklace or costume jewellery.

You can also check out Lovisa on Level 1 if you are looking for accessories adorned with precious stones.

Shopping in Marina Square for GSS!

I'm sharing LOTS of outfit pictures in this post because...it is the time of the year again to go SHOPPING! *throws confetti* It is our annual Great Singapore Sale (GSS) from now till 26 July and this year, I popped by a couple of stores in Marina Square and got first dibs on some of the best deals and most stylish items that are going on promotion!

With over 200 specialty shops in Marina Square, one is easily spoiled for choice. There is something for everyone, be it the fashionistas, mum-to-bes, the little ones, foodies and the home owners! But of course, today I'm gonna be sharing on my favourite topic - shopping!

I visited a couple of stores, namely, Levi's, Pazzion, Desigual, Promod, IORA and Michelangelo to style a few looks without breaking the bank as all of these items are on sale! There is an ongoing promotion for all shoppers at Marina Square during the GSS so read on to find out ;)

First up, I decided to jazz up my usual white top + denim jeans ensemble with neutral tones.

"Take A Hike" Tank Top $49.90 - Levi's (#02-311)

Revel Skinny Jeans $189.90 - Levi's (#02-311)

Embroidered Leather Jacket $204 - Desigual (#02-110) 

Woven Pumps $69 - Pazzion (#02-301)

Not only does Levi's have a fabulous fit for their denims, the tops made of quality materials come with a flattering cut and timeless designs that will remain in your wardrobe through seasons. You can also receive $30 off with $120 spending and $60 off with $200 spending (on regular-priced items only) at Levi’s this GSS!

The leather jacket embroidered with flamingoes caught my eye when I entered the Desigual store because the colour was right and I love the unique stitch details at the back. Completed my outfit with a pair of pinkish nude woven pumps from Pazzion to take me from day to night.

Long Sleeved Boyfriend Shirt $89.90 - Levi's (#02-311)

Denim Shorts $69.90 - Levi's (#02-311)

Pointed Pumps $69 - Pazzion (#02-301)

For something more playful, I chose a pair of denim shorts in dark wash. They are so stretchy I feel like I could do anything in them! Matched with my favourite kinda top - a white shirt(!) and a comfortable pair of pointed pumps from Pazzion, I can picture myself running around for errands without feeling the least bit restrictive in this outfit.

Drop-waist Dress $69.90 - Promod (#02-153/154) 
Birds and Florals Shoulder Bag $164 - Desigual (#02-110) 
Cross-strap Wedges $79.90 - Promod (#02-153/154) 
Accessories (Necklace $298 (UP: $423) and Rings $70-$75 (UP: $99.90-$110)) - Michelangelo (#02-118A) 

Contrary to beliefs, I do wear colours. I reserve bright, happy colours for days when I need that extra perk-me-up. As you can see, this outfit was an explosion of happy colours with bird and floral prints on my Desigual tote bag. The size is huge and spacious and I see myself bringing it on beach vacations or travelling. A simple dress like this requires some accessorising and I picked out some intricate rings from Michelangelo. There was so much effort put into curating each piece of accessory, I promise it is hard to find another like it.

Bohemian V-Neck Blouse $69.90 - Promod (#02-153/154) 

Cuff-up Shorts $39.90 - Promod (#02-153/154) 

Bow Pumps $73 - Pazzion (#02-301) 

Straw Hat $39.90 - Promod (#02-153/154) 

If it isn't due to the humidity, I would wear long sleeves in Singapore all day because we have some really harsh sun here. Thankfully, this cotton blouse keeps me cool and prevents me from getting a tan at the same time. I matched it with a pair of khaki shorts so I don't look like I'm "drowning" in an oversized top. A pair of nude pumps help in elongating the legs too!

Textured Top $36 - IORA (#02-302/303) 

Textured Shorts $39 - IORA (#02-302/303) 

Beaded Necklace $9 - IORA (#02-302/303) 

Envelope Clutch $59 - IORA (#02-302/303) 

Strap Heels $76 - Pazzion (#02-301) 

I love all-white ensembles because they are clean, simple and most times, sadly, understated. IORA offers the working ladies a vast selection of office wear but after a little mix and match with help from the sale assistant, I managed to style a top that is appropriate for work and also trendy enough for the weekend when matched with a pair of shorts. I guess this is what they meant by "killing two birds with one stone". Of course, always wear a pair of "loud" shoes to stand out in an outfit like this!

IORA has extended an exclusive promotion for Marina Square’s outlet for the clutch featured in the outfit! Shoppers who spend a minimum of $300 at IORA will receive a complimentary clutch!

In addition, Pazzion is extending an additional 10% off on sales items when you quote “TIPPYTAPPXMARINASQUARE” at the Marina Square outlet!

Marina Square rewards shoppers generously! Redeem a zipper pouch with minimum spend of $80* and personalise it with their customised SG50 stamps! When you spend a minimum of $150*, you can receive a $10 Marina Square Gift Voucher. Qualifying period: 29 May – 26 July (while stocks lasts).
