Lubber Tote

Miss K picked this bright Phua-Chu-Kang-boots look-a-like bag when we were shopping at Century 21 in Manhattan.

I haven't seen this in Singapore but its a Lubber Tote.



Its pretty cool as it has the same concept as the Crocs shoes, you can add "Lubbs" to personalise the bottom holes, change the straps to funky looking ones and it has a shoe-like bottom.

How cool is that!

I got myself a red one :)

Shopping for the Toddler in USA

Alright. I told myself that I will practise self-control when it comes to buying clothes for my toddler, but in USA, one just can't help but to shop, shop and SHOP!

If you were to compare prices of Gap, Old Navy, Gymboree and Pumpkin Patch with those you get in Singapore, it is about half the price!

So, which are the shops on sale right now?

I found out that in New Jersey (where I am right now) there are no sales tax on clothing items! Their goods tax is 7%.

(In USA, different states has different taxes on goods. There is no such thing as "GST-free" shopping here)

New York City is 8+%.
Quite dissapointed about shopping for myself - Their XS is like our 'L' back home. So, to date, I only bought A BELT. How dissapointing. I need to spend more money visiting those boutique stores that carries clothing for 'smaller built' people. Normal high street stores are just way out of my size.
No more clothings for today, I need to visit Babies 'R' Us, Walmrt, Target etc and stock up on California Baby products and other necessities.

Shopping Cart

I don't usually let Miss K sit on the shopping cart at supermarts as I would always have her in her stroller....last week she insisted of being carried!

So, I decided to prop her onto the shopping cart and was glad that kept her entertained throughout our shopping at fairprice *phew*

I have to say those shopping trolleys at FairpriceXTRA are much newer and cleaner than those at Giant!
Let's go shopping!
