FJ Benjamin Warehouse Sale 2014

So.... seems like it had been quite a while since I updated my blog. It's because of....(comes out with a bunch of excuse).. Sorry everyone, actually I have been busy with my work and my boyfriend :p

Anyway, I just went to FJ Benjamin Warehouse Sales at Viva Home today.

I guess this is a heaven for people (especially girls :p) who loves shopping at a great discount!

There are brands like GUESS, GAP, Raoul, Banana Republic, La Senza etc.

Ta-daaa!!! These are my shopping haul for the day!! *and yes, i'm officially broke again T__T*

How much did I spent for all these? Total damage: RM610. (But it's totally worth it)

Below I'll briefly let you guys know what to expect.

I love GUESS heels to the max! After I got my first GUESS heels few years ago, I've never regret and I've always love their heels since then. Why? It's pretty and durable. Trust me when I say it's durable, because I wear em to party, clubbing, and even shuffles in them.

They have arranged the shoes according to size per table, so it's easy to know whether which design is available for the size.

How much for GUESS shoes? It's RM160 for two. (Usual price is at least RM200 and above for ONE)

There's heels from RAOUL as well, and it's cheaper than GUESS.

Next stop, I went to La Senza section as they just announced a special hourly sale. Yes, they have special hourly sales. They have separate each size in different table as well. There are different prices, and it can go to as low as RM10 for one bra. There's panties and sleepwear as well, but I didn't get any of those.

Got these 3 for RM90. (Not sure about the normal price cause I dont usually shop at La Senza)

Moving on, most of the items are apparels. For apparels, there's GUESS, GAP, Raoul, and Banana Republic. Raoul mostly are office apparels, so i didn't check it out. Others, there are dresses, tops, jeans, office apparels, and accessories.

There's buy one free one, RM60 for 2, RM100 for 2 etc etc.

Below I got a pair of GUESS jeans for RM150 (Original price is RM500, and I actually wanted to buy this a while back! :D), and 2 GAP jeans for RM100.

They have Buy 1 free 1 for Banana Republic tops. If one of the top is RM50, another is RM30, then the cheaper ones would be the free one.

And I got both of these GUESS tops for RM60.

There's GAP kids apparels as well.

Another section which I didn't mention is watch section. I wasn't looking for a watch, do I didn't check it out as well. Plus there are a lot of people standing around the table. There are bags as well, and it's quite cheap, but... I've just asked my sis to get me a bag recently so I didn't look at the bags as well.

Most importantly!! The sale has not ended yet! It's until tomorrow (25th May 2014).

Venue: Viva Home Expo Hall 2
Time: 10.00am to 7.00pm

p/s: if you're bringing your bag, they will wrap it up with a big plastic bag at the entrance.

Contest: PUMA Suede: 45 Years Fresh #ForTheStreet

The evolution of PUMA suede - from a pair of running shoes, to basketball shoes, and now a true street icon for 45 years. In 2013, Future Suede, its lite little brother is born.

Being a PUMA fan myself, I just can't wait to get a pair for myself!

The Future Suede retains the signature 1968 profile of the Classic Suede. It's light on weight, light on suede, and has some serious futuristic tweaks: a lightweight bottom, painted midsole, and neoprene tongue. Not only that, it's also decked out with PUMA Trinomic hexagons, heel clips, and eyelets. A varnished tonal nylon and synthetic suede Formstrip for an all-over ultramodern aesthetic. Heavy on heritage but easy on the ounces, comes at the right time when crowd surfing and club hopping requires the most minimal of baggage to be able to move at the speed of light.

This Spring-Summer 2013, PUMA marks The Suede's 45th year of changing the game and the release od the soon-to-be-legend, the Future Suede, with a massive celebration through contest, events, exhibitions, TV, and digital activities across Asia-Pacific.

Corset Me

A corset is a close-fitting piece of clothing that has been stiffened by various means in order to shape a woman’s torso to conform to the fashionable silhouette of the time.

How to wear a corset:

Always remember to unloosen the ties before you don on your corset or unsnap the front studs.

If it is front big hook, then aligned the corset and wrap around your body. The hooks are usually to be latched on from right to left stud. Start from the second last at the bottom and work your way up then only adjust the last hook. After that you can pull your ties at the back.

If it is the small hooks, it can be at your left side or in the middle. Best hook up from the bottom and not hook down. Keeping your fingers always tapered onto the edge of your corset and work your way up.

If it is zipped-up, just loosen ties and once zipped up pull your ties at the back.

If it is just a tie-up corset then loosen the ribbons with both the loop on either side tied in dead knot before you wiggle top down into the corset and finish if off by pulling the ties at your back.

If your friend is tying the ties for you, ensure that they do not tie you up too tight till you can’t breathe or that 

the corset fabric is overstretched as at a breath, you may rip the corset.

How to maintain a corset:

-          Hand wash the corset in lukewarm water with a mild non-biological detergent.

-          Rinse thoroughly.

-          No not wring but pat dry gently with a towel, then stretch gently to regain its original shape.

-          To dry, hang your corset horizontally across a coat hanger or back of a chair, or lay it flat on an airer. Dry away from direct heat otherwise your corset fabric may shrink.

-          Do not let it stay damp for too long as that will damage the steel bones or hooks or studs.

-          If necessary, apply cool setting ironing on the reversed side of the corset.

-          Do not risk on dry cleaning. After each wear, allow corset to air out for a while before hanging it back to the closet.

-          Corset are best worn over another slip, blouse, vest, top or dress to avoid having to wash it too often as that is not recommended. 

      Check out their Facebook page for the various selections of corsets.
