Marks & Spencer - My Saviour!
Yes, if u have not known by now, I simply adore Marks & Spencer! I still remember a few years back when I first "discovered" the store. Being such a noob (as I was just a penniless secondary school guy), I can't help but oogle and stare in awe at every single clothes they have on sale. Heck, I even drool (not literally of course) at the food section! I immediately told myself that someday, I must be able to spend whatever I have in this particular store. I'm glad my little dream finally came true when I started working late last year.Ever since, I must have spent a fortune @ M&S! Haha. My daily snacks mostly come from the store. Everything may be a wee bit pricey (as compared to the supermarkets) but that doesn't deter me from purchasing as I never compromise when it comes to good & healthy food. Hehe. Sadly, as much as I can afford their food items, I still can't quite justify their exorbitantly-priced clothes. I can never deny that the quality speaks for itself but hey, can't the price be lowered by a tiny bit? Most are priced above SGD40! I feel it's insane to splurge so much on clothes although they will last a long time. After all, I'm someone who gets bored easily with what I have. So yeah, better be safe than way sorry! :PAnywho, M&S seems to be doing so well over the years, no? I quote from the website, "We have over 600 stores located throughout the UK, this includes our largest store at Marble Arch, London. In addition, the Company has 240 stores worldwide, including over 219 franchise businesses, operating in 34 countries" OMG! Fantastic!!! Haha. Hmm... actually it doesn't come as much of a surprise to me coz their items are really worth the price! It's just a matter of whether one can afford it or not. :(Speaking about affordability, I really went nuts when M&S finally introduced something within my reach (earlier this year). Haha! It's the Blue Harbour Cotton Rich Short Sleeve Plain Polo Shirt. Woah what a long name for a simple item! Hehe. Retailing at only SGD19.90, I felt it is more than worthit for a 100% Cotton Polo Shirt. Over a period of two to three months, I already purchased four pieces - Black, Navy, Pink & White in colour. They are extremely comfortable! Try it to believe it! :D I think I will stop at four for now as the other colours are really not suitable for me. Perhaps if they introduce more colours in the future, I will definitely consider. :)   "Featuring classic detailing and a relaxed fit, this plain design polo shirt is the perfect addition to your casual wardrobe" - M&SIf u're interested to add this to your wardrobe, head down to a Marks & Spencer store near u NOW! The Polo Shirt runs from size S-XXL! There's definitely one that fits u! :P Oh yeah, by the way, this Polo Shirt actually retails for £5.00 or approximately SGD13.50 online. Yes it is cheaper online but it is not inclusive of postage and other miscellanious charges. Hence, purchasing from a local store would not really create a big hole in your pocket/wallet/purse. Haha! Do visit M&S's website for more interesting things not found in Singapore's stores. ;)>>>> http://www.marksandspencer.com <<<<Regards,Niz
