It's been a LLLLOOOOOOoooonnnngggg time since I posted my collective haul! I been extremely busy with work and I hardly could find time to sit at home and do a proper haul post. (U_U")
But I do post random haul at my Instagram, so if you would like to see them, find me @ miwitch ^^
It's also been a LONG time since I last purchase anything from GMarket SG, especially fashion related stuffs. ^^"
I had been spending my money sparingly only on cosmetics and beauty products cos I felt that I need to save $ to spend in Japan, until..... recently, I couldn't hold it any longer and I started to splurg my $ on GMarket SG & GMarket Global website. Muahahax..~ =p~
My stupid reason to this crazy splurge is because I want to wear nice clothes to Japan. GMarket also offer better deals and clothes that fits me (because koreans are bigger size than japanese) AND Korean cosmetics are SOOOooooo dirt cheap! Alright, enough of my nonsence, here are my haul for this month. Uh hum... AND MORE TO COME later after this haul post! (>▽<)
Clothes & Bag Haul
Navy Chiffon Blouse (Fsize) $33.90 +$4.90 shipping: From Seller MAKMAKS
Although the items from this seller is alittle bit on the high side, but their quality are GOOOOODDD! I absolutely love this blouse but kinda sad that because I'm of a bigger built (I'm actually a M size), the blouse shoulder width feels slightly tight on me. Other than that, I have no complains :) Oh! And I love that GOLD buttons! Its very pretty!
Frill Trench Coat (F size, Camel) $45 + $4.55: From Seller MAKMAKS
This is my first trench coat I think I'd ever bought. The fabric is of suede-like kind, kinda expected for a trench coat. The sleeves are very long for a F size coat but it suits my long arms (hahax~ =D). Only thing I dislike is that it creases easily. =\ Gosh, I hate ironing clothes =_=
Bally Double Breasted Jacket (66 size) $36 + $4.55: From Seller MAKMAKS
The fabric is great with perfect inner lining, sleeves are long but its a tad loose on me, I picked the largest size cos I'm afraid that the sleeves aren't long enough for me. I love the 2-way button design, it allows me to either button left ontop of right or right on left. It also has an additional button on one of the inner flap too!
Skull pot drawstring bag $17.90 +$7.80 shipping: From seller LULUBAG
I had spotted this bag at a physical store before and they sold it at $39.90. I wanted to buy but realised the material wasn't really worth that price. On spotting this same design bag on GMarket along with good reviews, I decide to purchase it at price of $25.70 inclusive shipping.
Back of my mind tells me not to expect it to be THAT good, but when I receive the bag, I was very happy. :D
Its made of good medium hard material with good quality fabric lining. The seller also include a free matching scarf for the bag I purchased too! Totally ♥ it!
Next I want to introduce this shop name LALU.
The store that I went was at Liang Court, a pretty big shop. Their collections are categorised by shades and colours, each design often have more than 1 colour. 
I like the concept of their interior design, which is inspired by the rustic mood of the 80s.
Just saw that LALU is having a moving out sale at Marina Square, sale up to 70%! Ends at 6 May. I hope i got time to drop by there to get some good deals! ^_^
I was looking for skirts and I found 2 which I like at LALU.
Tulip Side Drape Skirt in Black $59
The fabric is really heavy for a skirt but it drapes so nicely and its love at first sight for me. ^^
One of my past OOTD wearing the skirt... sorry it isn't very clear because the black is... very black, the camera couldn't focus well. ^^"
Another LALU skirt, sweet style ^^
Gathered Waist Skirt in Pink $59
Good crepe fabric, heavy and slightly flowy. ^^
RINGS RINGS RINGS
Bought this 2 gothic ♥ at Orchard Central pushcart.
Skull head ring $15
Onyx-like crystal ring $20
Goth Vintage pearl stone ring $3 only! @ SCAPE Flea market ^_^
GMarket Global Simple Walkthrough
I got a few overseas readers asked me where I bought my Korean beauty stuffs (actually they are CP by my friend who went korea ^^v) and I usually recommend them to GMarket SG as some of the sellers in GMarket SG are willing to ship overseas besides Asia.
Around 2009, GMarket Korea started up a GMarket Global site in English. And this year they even have it in Chinese! (via agency)
GMarket Global is different from GMarket SG. Global currency is in US currency and I learnt that they have MUCH MUCH more stuffs than GMarket SG, most of the percentage of the sellers are Koreans while GMarket SG have about 40% (my gauge) of Singaporean sellers.
Since 2007, I had an account with GMarket Korea but I wasn't able to buy anything as I don't understand hangul. (korean language)
I often just go into their site to drool on their pretty stuffs and then get disappointed because I'm unable to purchase anything! (lolx~)
And when they sent me a newsletter in English instead of their usual hangul on January this year, I was happy! (Actually they sent me a english newsletter once in 2009, then they stopped sending me newsletter until 2012, they expanded their business & they sent most of their emails in English)
It means that they have opened their business to worldwide! The system they used is similar to VPOST, with their own warehouse in korea.
These few weeks, I been going on GMarket SG in search of shoes and clothes. I realised one thing. The korean sellers are getting lesser, singaporean sellers getting more, and all the stuffs are getting more expensive! I compared items I bought from last year, the clothes from same seller cost $1-2 more expensive. And the range of collections are so little that I don't feel like buying anymore in GMarket SG.
I then turned to GMarket Global. Immediately, I found many pretty items that I wanted to purchase.
Then I looked for the same thing in GMarket SG, they weren't there. That's to say, the korean sellers stop selling in GMarket SG. They earned more $ in Global because there are more buyers there?
I could foresee Singapore sellers flooding GMarket SG in future leaving only a little % of korean sellers, and business for GMarket SG will drop, resulting in closure of GMarket SG, just like Yahoo auction SG.
Ultimately, GMarket SG offers cheaper shipping fees than in GMarket Global. I wouldn't want GMarket SG to close, that will be too sad for all the shopaholics (like me)!
Anyhoo, lets go on with the walkthrough for GMarket Global ^^
Here, shows the GMarket in English:
Remember to always look at the item weight, make sure the weight of the item is correct. The total weight of your items will determine the shipping charges. (For eg, a iphone cover weighing 0.5kg is WRONG, it should be 0.1kg. If its wrong, then you need to find other sellers that indicate the correct weight)
1. When purchasing for an item, you need to check the box "Please check, if ship to address in Korea". Alfhough you are an overseas buyer, the address that this item is going to send to, is a Korea address (GMarket Warehouse).
2. Click the first drop-down menu (Size)
3. Click the second drop-down menu (Item)
The item drop-down menu looks like this:
1. After selecting the item, an overall pricing will appear below.
2. Click the Coupon box to get discounts.
Use your discount coupon if you have them. And click APPLY.
1. Once item chosen and discount coupon applied, click ADD TO CART
2. It will bring you to your shopping cart
3. Item is automatically listed under Domestic category, you need to move it to Overseas 
1. After moving it over, double check all the item weight and prices
2. You should only be charge once for the local (korea) Delivery fee. If you buy from 2 sellers, you will be charged twice.
Scroll down to the bottom, you will find overall price calculation.
1. Select your country and it will automatically calculate the delivery fee to your country BASE on the item weight.
Here, I have total of 1kg items. The shipping fees is base on this the SHIPPING CHARGE TABLE (<- click to see)
Currently, they are having a 3%~50% discount on shipping fees, the heavier the parcel is, the more discounts you get.
2. Click "Place an Order"
1. Input your details and address
2. Type in notes under the list of items if you wish the seller to take note of something
At bottom of page, you will see another final calculation of your items and shipping charges.
1. Input your bank card details
2. Click "PAY"
And viola! You had finished shopping! 
As GMarket Global is using EMS (Door-to-door service), I believe it would reach Singapore in short period of time. If the local (korea) mailing takes 3 days, EMS another 3-5 working days, then you should be able to get your stuffs within 2 weeks. ^^
I couldn't really comment any further since I had not finalised my own purchases yet in GMarket Global! =p
Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)
I am not in anyway affiliated to LALU, GMarket SG & GMarket Global
