Travel Log: I LOVE SHOPPING IN US!!!!!

You will never know how great your SHOPPING experience can be in United States!!!!

Saturday, 16 Aug 08.

I drove to Clackamas Town to shop.
And also, cos of the crazy 100 over degree Farenheit weather..
I need to get away from the apartment to cool down.
Yes. My apartment here, only has a HEATER, and not an AIRCON!
100 over Farenheit.. It's about 40 degree Celsius, okay?!
You just will never want to stay outdoors a minute longer..


Oh yes. Back to my shopping experience..
I walked into this shop 'Aerie'..
American Eagle's Outfitter's lingerie shop..
You see the link?! AE with rie from the word lingerie.. AErie...
OK..
I walked in and tried on this bra.
And when I came out. Ok! I'm decided.
I'm going to get this bra..
But I decided to enquire about this other bra which DON't HAVE MY SIZE..
This girl at the fitting room, kindly told me I could order it, and have it elivered to my place.
That's nice. But.. I don't think I want to..
Now to think of it.. Maybe I should har..
If doesn't fit well, I can just come and return..
Yes. I LOVE the RETURN POLICY HERE.

Then she asked me, "Have you received your scratch card?!"
I was like.. "No..."
She said, "Oh.. We have this promotion now. You'll get a scratch card, if you try our bra."
"Let me get you one.." And then she walks away to get one..
I scratched the card..

And it says.. FREE BRA!

So I just took my bra, walked to the counter.
And I paid nothing, but just show my scratch card..
I walked out of the store, with a FREE BRA! No purchase was done!
How great can this be?!

This really made my day...



Sunday, 17 Aug 08.

I drove about an hour down to Bridgeport.
To return my Levis jeans. 54.90 usd. which is about.. 77 sgd?!
I ended up exchanging it for another pair of the same price.
But something I prefer. Dark wash, stretchy.. and my first straight cut jeans..
I realised jeans that aren't low waist, I can take off a few sizes down..
Probably that's what my mum always say.. My waistline is high.. not that low..

I went to MAC cosmetics, and spent another 85usd..
Bought eyeshadows, a cosmetic brush, and a fluidline eyeliner.
I liked the fluidline. Already have one back in SG..
It was a Christmas exchange present in CozyCot a couple of years ago.
Experience was good there.
Especially girls.. LOVED to be praised PRETTY.


After MAC.. I decided to leave Bridgeport.. Nothing to my liking..
And I drove many miles down South to Woodburn.
It's a place you can't miss..
Big brands factory outlets are here.
I gotten another 2 Polo Ralph tops.. Loving it..
Perhaps I should get more?! Oh NO!
Addicted to Polo Ralph tops.

I went to return a pair of Ninewest heels, cos it was too big, ordered from online.
And, went to change my GAP bag, from corduroy-mustard yellow, to canvas-black.
Guess what I love about this place?!
It's having a discount on this bag today...
And they actually refunded me the money!
I only have to pay like 78 cents for the pink halter top for my baby-niece-to-be..
So LOVELY.
Back in Singapore,
Let's just don't say about the exchange and return policy...
Taking for such example, Singapore will only say..
"Just too bad! You should have waited for the sales!"


Hagen Daaz here in Fred Meyer is selling at $7 for 2 tubs. (1 tub - 1 pint)
And now I know.. You don't have to buy 2 tubs!
You can also buy 1 tub only, at the price of $3.50!!!
Back in SG, they will charge you the before-less price, if you only get one...


And last thing that I'm going to rave about..
It's the online shopping for Transdesign.com for OPI nail polish..
I had a few late orders, that came in after I submitted my orders.
I wrote in to the customer service to request to add on to the list.
And guess what?! Haha!
They actually helped me with it...!!!
So girls who ordered OPI from me, the price that you see in the email may not be final!


Next great shopping experience I will foresee...

COACH!!!!

I'm going in and grab many bags!!!
Yippie!!!
