I left the house one evening with $900NT in hopes of adding a multitude of necessities and accessories to my dorm room.. Then I stumbled upon DAISO, a Japanese store where every item costs $39NT. That’s cheap, right? So, this is the result of this venture – an example of what you can get with around $500NT.
*points above* I don’t know why, but I couldn’t resist buying these jelly hearts for my bathroom walls. I guess a small splash of colour here and there makes the bathroom a little happier and brighter? You get twice the amount shown in the photo, and they all aren’t bad quality.
Although, it didn’t have the cutest bins I’ve ever seen, DAISO still has some pretty cute bins. Below is my new bin, I got it because I thought it was quite cute but now I’m wishing I got an even cuter one. Oh well.

During my visit to Taipei 101, I stumbled across a Nine West store having a sale, so naturally I decided to enter and see what I could find. I did not leave empty handed.
Address: 台北市信義區市府路3號B1樓
Taipei City, Xin Yi District, Shi Fu Road, No. 45, Floor B1
Phone number: 02 8101 8361
Price: Approximately $3,000+NT
A well known American brand in a well known Taiwanese shopping mall situated at the base of the world’s second tallest tower. Nine West is one of the cheaper stores you’ll find inside, but not as cheap as Giordano, Adidas, Nike, or Esprit. However, it being so close to Versace, Gucci, Prada, and Armani justifies my calling it a ‘cheaper store’. But I guess that’s completely beside the point.

One of the many chain stores I discovered on my first day in Taipei was NET Fashion. I would group this one with other chains tores such as Giordano and Hang Ten, and if you know either of those two then you probably already have an idea of what to expect here.
Address: 台北市士林區文林路25號
Taipei City, Shi Lin District, Wen Lin Road, No. 25
Phone number: 02 2883 3595
Prices: Depending on what you’re looking at, prices vary greatly. Jackets, trenches, skirts, pants, jumpers, and dresses range from around $700 to $2,800NT. Other knitwear, casual tops, shirts, etc range from around $300 to $1,200NT. You can find different sales on during the year which bring the clothes down to the lower end of the ranges.

These are cute little panda accessories from the Panda souvenir shop in the Taipei Zoo!
Address: 臺北市新光路二段30號
Taipei City, Xin Guang Road, Sec. 2, No. 30
Phone Number: 02 2938 2300
Price: $40-60NT (depending on size)
There are three sizes available, with normal circles eyes or heart eyes, and with or without the extra dangling circle and bell. Collecting them all would be too much, so I only got two. There’s also a ferris wheel of them which I would love to get if i ever go back.
Well, I won’t say any more about the zoo.. That’s saved for another post! So I guess it’s time to wrap this mini post up.. *waves*
