Shopping at Johor Premium Outlets



I'm back...thx Terry, the mkting mgr of IskandarProject, for his prompt response on my query for directions on how to get to Johor Premium Outlets =) it's nice to shop there...but v.v.v.crowded...many malaysians drove there...we went via the 2nd link...but ended up being overcharged by the taxi driver from Gelang Patah to jpo...prefer to go via 2nd link to avoid the long queues at the woodlands customs...JPO is nice n spacious...btw, i like the Mocha Praline ice-blended from the Starbucks cafe at JPO...this flavour is not avail in sg...n the crepes from the crepes shop there r nice...but the waiting time for collection of crepes is abt 20min! o.O" there r limited F&B outlets at JPO so the queues r always v.long =.=" the thai restaurant was so popular tt they had to close before re-opening for dinner n even then, they were alrdy fully booked n their waiting list was building up...so we didnt manage to have our dinner at JPO o.O"

My personal take: prices at the Coach outlet r comparable to sg prices...not much cheaper...the States Coach outlets r far cheaper...i'm not familiar with the prices at the Coach outlet at Citygate in hk so i cant comment...but check out the loooooooooong q at the Coach outlet store at JPO! there r good buys at levis, adidas n la senza...but there is only 1 cashier at levis...i had to queue for more than 1hr juz to make payment! there r a few other general brands such as Cotton On, Guess, Gap, Esprit, Roxy, The Body Shop, Nike, Charles&Keith, Pedro, DKNY, CK, A|X, Fossil, etc...check out my loots from Johor Premium Outlets =)

Looooooooooooooong q at Coach Outlet store o.O"


Bought an elegant pouch from Ferragamo...this store was rather quiet compared to the rest...perhaps due to the fresh smell of the varnish lingering around in the store? o.O i asked for the red Ferragamo paper bag...but the staff said i would need to pay boutique prices if they were to give me the red paper bag cos this is an outlet store n not the boutique o.O btw, no vara pumps were in sight at this outlet...


Lancome cosmetics from an outlet store operated by Loreal group at JPO...i was quite surprised to find cosmetics here at JPO ;p


Pretty la Senza lingerie from their outlet store...this is my first corset...lol...couldnt resist cos it looks so pretty ;p i know the colors of these bras r abit loud but they had alrdy ran out of colors for my size =.=" btw, i received the la Senza iphone4 casing from the goodie bag from la Senza SG...but they were also giving away this same iphone4 casing with purchase of 200RM for JPO members (saw this promo on my second trip to JPO on 11th dec which was also the Official Opening of JPO) n on my second trip there, they were running out of popular sizes for bras n panties on promotion...but i did see plenty of size 38D bras being displayed...o.O


Plenty of good deals at Levis...the 2nd pair of jeans was going for 50% off on top of the low prices! the round neck tees were only 39RM each! the polo tee was the last piece avail n i got it for 49RM...but be prepared to brave the loooooooooooong q for the cashier...i queued for more than 1 hour juz to make payment! -.-"


Some good deals at Adidas...but i dont see these items there on my 2nd trip...so i was rather glad tt i bought them on my first trip...saw many ppl grabbing lotsa stuff too o.O


Enjoyed shopping so muchie at JPO tt we returned to JPO again on 11th dec when they had their official opening ;p

I'm a shopaholic in constant denial ;p


JPO was v.crowded with many shoppers...with long queues forming for F&B n washrooms...


Bought this Adidas jacket on my 2nd trip there...n i was wearing this jacket in the store n quite a few ppl actually mistook me for being an Adidas staff n asked me to help them get stuff...lol...rule of the thumb...try not to wear an Adidas tee or jacket in the Adidas store if u dont want to b mistaken for being an Adidas staff...lol ;p


Kinda fell in love with la Senza lingerie n bought these pretty lingerie on my 2nd trip there ;p




Btw, the queue for Burberrys was rather long on both occasions so i didnt go in...due to time constraint, i didnt manage to go into all the shops even with both trips combined...juz went to some outlets where i wanna get some stuff...n the Polo Ralph Lauren, Versace, Raoul, The Brooks Brothers outlets r still not open yet...no idea when they would b opening...o.O n my dad hates shopping...he was grumbling alot on our first trip...so he didnt bother to join us for the 2nd trip to JPO...o.O

Update:

My leechie mobile phone is dying...which phone shld i get: iphone 4 or iphone 4S? not muchie difference right? or any better recommendations? cos i have small hands...those iphones look BIG o.O"

Btw, butter fingers leechie dropped my leechie camera...n the lcd screen cracked =( frenz were saying tt i dont need to buy a camera if i were to buy iphone...any suggestions? cos some low end cameras r quite cheap ya? o.O

I'm juz amused with how the ppl around me like to copy my style...am i supposed to be a trend-setter or what? i juz wear whatever i'm comfy with...when i started to wear sporty gym gear to work...som ppl started to follow suit...when i wear my Adidas jacket to work...again i see ppl doing the same...lol...my mum juz wanted to poke fun of me n asked if anyone mistook me for being an Adidas staff again? lol...well, perhaps those guys with really toned abs n body can try standing topless in front of A&F boutique at orchard road...maybe they might b mistaken for one of those topless models n gals may go up to them to take pics? ;p a really great way to pick up gals ya? but pls dont attempt this if u have a less-than-toned body ;p

Guess what? Jonathan saw my posting n dedicated the following pic to me...lol...but...look at his labelling...shittydev actually looks better than capland! -.-"

N he followed up with the following pic...lol...this is not my home btw...lol...juz for laughs ;p

Eat your hearts out, ladies...i managed to pop by juz before 7pm to take 2 pics within the remaining 5mins...he's really cutie ya? ;p
