New Black Patent Madrids from Birkenstock

I recently saw this pair of Black Patent Madrid Birkenstocks online and decided to post it here.
Its nice and simple. So chic! If anyone's interested in this pair, let me know!
Currently the only sizes available are 36, 39-43 Narrow. I cant wear them, sadly. They cost around SGD69 if you're keen.
I might start the Birks 20th Batch soon, when i've more or less closed the Bags Spree.
Its the 20th !!! wow ..
Even i'm impressed at the sound of it. Hhahaha..

Dear Participants of Bag Spree 2:

Please check your emails for payment details!

The stockcheck is done and all who belong to this spree should receive the mail, I will transact all orders upon your payment, which needs to be made within 2days.

No cancellations are allowed at this point, as the total cost is already calculated and awaiting your payment.

For those who are ordering bags which are out of stock, please indicate to me if you would like to continue placing the order in the next batch. Be default, your order will not be carried forward unless you have made payment or indicated so.

Some of the bags which were not available in Bags Spree 1, are available in Bags Spree 2. Hence, I would suggest that those who did not manage to order the first time, continue to send me your repeated order to "try again".

This batch has a total of 44 bags and will arrive in 2 shipments. Hope we wont kenna tax that way but not sure if shipping would be higher or not.

Bags Spree 1 has arrived

The 16 bags of the Bags Spree 1 have arrived!

Just for your info:

The total cost of shipping + gst is around SGD80.
It took around 6 days for airmail.
But the seller takes averagely 3-4days to reply.

For the following shoppers who haven't collected your bags,

Jacelyn, Jiayi, Mindy, Shiying, YQ


If you would like to have them sent to you, please let me know your address and make an addition $3 transfer for the postage per bag.
If you are around Hougang, please let me know so I can see if the timing works out for a pickup of your bags. Please note that it is NOT my responsibility nor is it the default for me to deliver or meet you to pass your bags! Cos Im actually SUPPOSED to mail them to you and you bear the costs -- but because I know you want to save money, so I'll try my best to work out some convenient time and place for me to carry all your bags to pass it to you....
(some times hao xin mei you hao bao u know)
Anyway... generally, the bags are all very well packed and not damaged in any way.

However, the workmanship is nothing to rave about and larger and chunkier bags tend to be a little on the heavy side. Some of the bags are good (esp the green one i bought last time) and are of versatile usage.

Just a casual reminder: You get what you pay for!


There were a few people who wanted to order this bag, but it was unavailable in 2 out of 3 colours. This bag however, does look nice -- like the picture. But is quite heavy on its own. (right side of the above picture shows) Quality is not very good but if you don't mind things like the edge of the cut isn't painted, the inner material is not very symmetrical.... then i guess this would be a steal for you.

I can imagine it to be selling for at least $36 at bugis?
This bag costs $22.50 inclusive of the shipping and taxes.


This bag here was one of the nicer looking bags among the lot. $14.95.

Also another one, which arrived in white - looked above average and quite classy. (in the plastic bag) This ones $29.

The Bags Spree 2 is also open for all who may wish to order again!

Mail me in the format yeah~ when there are enough I will place the order! please do check mails for the current BS2 participants who have already sent me your orders. Cos I will be transacting them in the next few days already!

Bags Shopping 1 -> Parcel Mishap

Hey babes of Bag Shopping 1 !! This was supposed to be your parcel !! BUT.....

If all goes well and sorted out, you girls can probably start picking up your bags from me from Thursday onwards.

For those who are not free to pickup or meet up, please let me know your address for postage option. Please note the cost is self-borne and exact figure will not be known until posted. But should be less than $4 if not too heavy or bulky.

Baby Bibs

I've had some friends who have been looking for presents for newborns and toddlers. So I thought these might be really nice especially if your friends are cool parents. Haha.


They're normal 100% cotton bibs printed with the famous "I Love xx" stuff. I guess its really fun if you take your kid out and then snap this on that says "I love girls" and its a baby boy.. haha.

Of course if you've been sick of the I love xx looks and want something subtle, there's this.. I'd really get the red one for my nephew, cos it looks just like a prefect's tie. HAHA

This one i think is the funniest and its not really uber cute but its just so cheeky. Cant help but want to see every feeding baby wear it. HAHA

Buying Details:

Postage prices inclusive

1 bib goes for 10SGD

Any 3 for 25SGD

Customizable names available at 12SGD per bib ! Cool!

Bag Shopping 1 : Taiwan Side, slow.... & Open Birk Orders!

Dear BAGLOVERS of the Bags Shopping Spree 1,





I would like to inform you that the orders sent to the Taiwan side, have NOT YET been processed.





This is due to a large number of international orders they have received, and possibly because I am a first time orderer. (if there is such a term)





They have promised to get back to me before the weekend, and by then, I would be able to let you know the prices to pay and the availability of the items.





Do note that I am selecting Air Shipment, which is slightly costlier but would take much faster to arrive. However due to the selected pre-order items, the entire shipment has to wait for the pre-order items (15 - 20days) to be ready, before sending it for shipment.








All updates like these will be posted here in future, so please check back!




Thanks!



Meanwhile, I have not yet closed the order for the Birks 19th Batch! For those who had enquired, you can still join in! The more the merrier!




Click here to go! (Birks)
please also note that price used is the on-site conversion from USD.
Multiply the USD by 1.6 and + SGD5 for the total amount & round it up to the nearest dollar.

My Green Bag Has Arrived !!! :)


This is the bag I bought a few weeks back, from the Taiwan online shop. It took about 3 weeks only but she didnt order those pre-order items (i think. she wasnt very clear on emails). It came in 1 flat pack totally squashed. Its okay though, see! I revived it.

On site, it said it couldn't fit A4 but from my rough estimate of the model carrying it - it looked like A4 with ample space and i was SO RIGHT about it. The bag is pretty fat so A4 CAN go in, despite what it says about the sizing. So thats just a tip for all you BAGLOVERS.. The quality wise isn't anything to rant and rave, the normal Bugis-type of bags you see going at ard $30. Its about the same as a mustard bag I bought from there at $32. The material is soft and very light. Generally, I would say that I got what I paid for.
Those who think its nice, THANKS! but MY green bag isnt available online anymore cos they wrote that the factory has no more green fabric!
YAY! haha
An update on the Bags Shopping 1:
I've sent the order of 16 bags cos there will be some that are unavailable so if the seller gets back to me, I'll update all of you (who have gotten my confirmation mail).
Those who have sent me your orders/havent sent but are going to:
You can send them to me in the format as shown on previous entries, because should there be more than 6 bags unavailable from the 1st Batch, I'd be putting yours in. In any case, the 2nd batch shouldnt be taking too long, once I've got the sufficient orders, I will also send them.
Because I need to balance the total amount of the bags to be under 400 SGD in order to avoid being taxed, so sending all your orders to me for balancing is a wise idea you BAGLOVER can adopt yea!
Happy Shopping & THANKS for dropping by! :)

Also, I'd like to do a quick update for all you little hedgehogs, ok maybe i shall say something more relevant like, all you sugarbabes or hmmm, i think i'll stick with BAGLOVERS!

Thanks to all you BAGLOVERS, i now have a total of 16 bags confirmed for the 1st Bag Shopping Spree! yippee! I've also mailed you the info, which I am gonna put up here now, incase you havent seen it yet. I'll be ordering the bags in the next 2 days, so stay tuned alright?

All you closet BAGLOVERS! Please read this and if you wanna join in this 1st Spree, you gotta pick up speed! Otherwise, you can always mail me when you've decided, and you'll be in the 2nd Spree.

But well you know, nothing beats being the first to try !!

Oh please do note that for International Shipping, the seller does not accept refunds or exchange. In the event of a missing piece, they will only send it in the next order. However, they have staff to check on the bags before sending out but from my understanding, they go by the NO REFUND NO EXCHANGE policy. I guess you cant put ur expectations too high when you're doing budget shopping! Cant ask for too much.. yea.. so people, please only buy if you are agreeable to the terms as stated!
