My First Zalora Purchase

Reputable (emphasis here) online shops are heaven-sent darlings for busy bees like me.

 

Finally, I availed of my Zalora 25% discount to buy "beach" essentials. I am not exactly the beach bum type or a sun worshipper. I have zero intention of baking myself to get a tan, thank you :)

 

However, I realized that I need a pair of cheap sunnies which will not break my heart in case I left them somewhere (since I've been shuffling back and forth a lot lately). Sunnies by Charlie are the cutest and the most affordable, what more can I say?

 

On another note,  I also need a pair of slippers that is not made of the usual rubber from "simagols" or Islanders (no promotional advertising intended). When I tried slipping on a Gelattto pair in Glorietta, I knew I found the one.

 

The material is gel-like and there's a pair in the blue shade I love. BUT. I wanted to buy this with a discount (it's not too cheap, by the way). The cheapskate "me" held back for months hoping and hoping for some XX% off tag to show up sometime soon.

 

But alas, the entire slippers line in that Glorietta stall have gone on sale EXCEPT for Gelattto :( This slipper brand with those very recognizable plastic fruits and whatnots has been eternally on 50% off. But what about Gelattto? I waited and waited...The closest I got were 10% off (probably for old styles or broken sizes - but no blue pair left) and XX% off on Valentines when you buy a pink pair (I couldn't remember the discount % but was not interested for obvious reasons). Finally, I found out that Gelatttos are being sold online at Zalora. Eureka! And the rest is history :)

 

Sealed tight, delivered
Zalora made an effort to come up with this lovely box design
Will keep this :)

 

Minus the confusion with my office address which were clarified through close coordination with the courier, my orders were delivered on time :)

 

Tadaa!!
Sunnies by Charlie
Gelattto slippers

Thank you Zalora for the efficient service. My orders were well-sealed and properly packed - The sunnies were secured in a bubble wrap and my pair of Gelattto slippers was in its original sealed packaging. Till my next online deal. Say hello to summer and more travels :)
