I went shopping today with the intention of getting some new apparels for Gavin. But I just couldn’t resist this.
I was told that they’ve just started today at Tangs so special discounts of between 10 and 20% will be offered to customers who buy their handmade jewelries or have it custom made on the spot. So I sat down and chose some garnets and red corals for a simple necklace plus a pair of earrings.
I even told the lady who was making the jewelries for me that I have two friends who are good at this and yet I am buying from her.
Well, actually I really can’t help it. Because as most ladies can probably emphatise, shopping is impulsive and instant gratification is what we thrive on.
Hmmmm…. true…true, that’s why I prefer to do my purchases in shops instead of online! Unless there is some special discount or something.
I like the red necklace…..very festive feeling it gives
Plus the matching earrings, make a complete set 
SSF: I shop online for skincare, cosmetics and accessories. I seldom buy clothes unless they’re not available here. I cannot buy clothes without trying.
Haha…didn’t think of the festive feel. I chose the combi cos it just went with the colour of the clothes I was wearing yesterday…

it seems my earlier comment was spammed!
i miss Tangs, one of the places i go to when in transit. but i do not buy jewelry nor precious stones there. i find cheap and good ones in india, pakistan, sri lanka, cambodia.
as to impulsive buying, it’s our pleasure, and we deserve it once in a while, even if only for instant gratification.
sexy mom: Hey sorry. I didn’t pick out the earlier comment. But fortunately I didn’t miss this one.
Yes, you can find a lot of nice and affordable jewelries in those places. In fact, most of what we see at Tangs probably come from there.
