Hello ladies :)
So, As you know, I went THRIFT SHOPPING !!!!!!!!!!! 



Yes, yes ! Thrift Shopping !! Hahahaha. I probably squealed in excitement for the first time I went there :x
Its Normal Okay? Well, I never knew Singapore had any thrift shops till I was 19. Oops.
I probably lived under a rock or something :/




Before I move on to telling you about which thrift shop I went, what loots I got, here's some background information on Thrift Shopping ! :)

"Background Info" :
1) The clothes might be Brand New/Used BUT hey! You're doing a good deed :) 
Get prepared that not ALL clothes there are brand new. There are people who donates their clothes to the thrift shops so that the thrift shops earn money and donate them to charity or put to good use.
One example will be the Salvation Army.

2) You can just bring less than $50 !!!
Be it on budget or not, thrift shopping is a GREEEEAAAAAAT way to satisfy your shopping needs and save money at the same time. 

3) Be prepared to be disappointed
Like I mentioned earlier, clothes there aren't all brand new, some may be even used more than once. However, sometimes you do get some great finds like F21, Love Bonito, H&M , Top Shop :)
You'll also be able to find lots of vintage stuff, since vintage is coming back to a trend, it might be a good opportunity to source there !!!

SO !! Lets Move down to my Thrifts destination !!!!
(pictures in the thrift shops are taken by someone else, I forgot to take photos! >.< )

My 1st Destination : new2u Thrift Shop ($1 onwards)

new2u thrift shop is actually owned by Singapore Council of Women's Organisation. The shop itself is actually "run" by friendly and nice volunteers. Though the place was a bit warm outside (I guess its just me), but the shop inside was air conditioned.

 There are clothes lanes outside and inside of the shop. The outside ones are sorted into different categories like "Womens dresses", "Womens Tops", "Pants" , etc.  There are also Shoes, Bags and Books up for sale :)


Inside of the shop, as you can see are MORE CLOTHES !! These racks inside consists of more expensive or branded clothing so you might want to take a look ;) Sometimes you might find one piece from River Island, ASOS, Armani Exchange, etc !

So here's what I got ! :) 
(Accessories, Bags and Shoes belongs to me)

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

The day I went was Tuesday which was STUDENTS DAY !!!
ALL STUDENTS GET 50% OFF :)
You do the math ! How much do you think I've spent? ;)

Opening Hours:

The Shop also has Daily Discounts :
1. T-shirt Monday
2. Every Tuesday is Student 1/2 price day
3. Skirt/Men trousers Wednesday
4. Shoes Thursday
5. Surprises Friday
6. Monthly : All items (Except Books, Jewellery , Watches & Toys are at HALF PRICE on last 2 working days of the month

Hi, Wow its been so long since I've updated this blog...

I'm very sorry !!
I have no time to update this blog regularly these few months but I promise as time goes on, I'll update as much as possible okay? :) I would like to thank my readers , to take your time and read my nonsense haha :D I'm very grateful !!!

*Bows down*

Well, Throughout my blogshopping experiences, I've made great friends along the way.
Not ranking anybody :
Love Lacette, Le Derpina, Balloons Withsparkles , Gerwyn Seventh's, Yukime Sama, Jaslyn Wong (She deactivated her fb T.T) ,  Cheryl BeriShort, Da PinkRubbish (she's been a very great friend :)







I've also made people unhappy as well. :x oops.
I had my ups and downs. I remembered when I just started "Cosmic Sparkles"  , I was just plainly selling away my Livejournal loots. AT THE SAME PRICE I BOUGHT.
Now, the market is so spoiled that even livejournal loots can be found at $10 each.



WHYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!





._. I moved on from SELLING MY INSTOCKS to PREORDERS to SPREES ....and finally, now......TRADES.





Not that I'm insulting those sellers who trades or what but the main thing to set up a blogshop is to sell things right? :/ Maybe not for your purpose but its for mine :( I end up trading away ~ sigh so sad life.
To be honest, I've been considering closing down this blogshop for quite some time now.
I find facebook quite stale now. Mainly because most of my good friends in blogselling moved to instagram or carousell.. :/
In the past, I used to have quite a number people who buy things from me and some customers even took initiative to chat with me online whenever they are free.
Nowadays, I don't even mail parcels (except for giveaways)..Somehow I just feel like I'm not in the "market" anymore because I can't bring in preorders as I don't know what you guys are soughting after now.
Is it Cheap Prices?
Is it Value?
Is it design?
While I look at other blogshops that are popular, Yes, they are holding sprees, Selling items below $10.. fairly good customer service.
I really have no idea what you guys are looking for right now therefore, its been awhile since I pool in money to bring something good for you guys. I also intended to self DIY some items to make this blogshop unique. However, I also need supplies... no supplier for me :(


OH WELLZ. Hope you guys continue to support me till I close down? Clear my remaining loots pls !!

I estimate once my new school term starts, I'll deactivate the account or won't go in so often anymore unless I find a new goal in "Cosmic Sparkles"

I'm just gonna .....WEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~~~~~~
