do excuse our nonsense from time to time too.
aaaand that's about it.
Have an absolutely gorgeous day!
wonderfulday
LOVE THIS MASH UP.
Makes us feel like bobbing up and down. Continuously. And energetically. Hahaha.
WATCH IT! (:
Do always Google the email add before agreeing to extension of payment or could be left feeling cheated and saddled with a ton of unsold clothes. If aforementioned email add shows up on a variety of deadbuyer lists, resist urge to smash com.
We try to be understanding. We really do. But people end up misplacing our trust and cheating other sincere customers who genuinely want to get these items. RAWR. Why must there be deadbuyers? WHYWHYWHY. So now we have to go put those items up again ): I'm sad now.
Now THIS is creative recycling. Where do I get such a pretty can to begin with??
Anyhoo, I meant to go out today. And I didn't. I ended up marathoning How I Met Your Mother (AWESOME show btw) and replying mails and nothing much else. Darn. I need to get out. I'm either running errands for the shop or cooped up at home watching videos. SOMEONE HELP ME.
So, the day after a launch is always nerve wreaking. The whole day I just keep thinking, please pay please pay. Deadbuyers are giving me nightmares! Then I'll think, it has been a day, should I send a reminder? Is that being pushy? What if they forgot? Or it went into junk/spam? Yes, I am a worrywart. I should stop obsessing and finally get down to doing my laundry or clean my room or something. Something productive.
Okay, have to wake up early to get to the suppliers tomorrow. Sleep is good. Laundry can wait another day. I'm terrible. NIGHT! (:
So that's about it! Hope yall liked it!!! The one or maybe even two (dare I hope??) of you who actually reads this. Hahaha (:
And sorry for the lack of updates! We've both been busy with all the stuff with the shop, photoshoots/packing/mailing/restocking/getting stocks for the new collection and the list goes on. Plus we've also got separate side errands, part time stuff to do so it's been bizzaaaay! And we've been barely getting enough sleep. When I do, I actually dream about getting stocks, panicking about emails and other shop related stuff. FML. Haha.
So, recently we have been receiving feedback that we should launch at a more accessible time slot/ get more pieces cos most of the stuff are gone before they could take a look at the new collection. Maybe it's the same person? But regardless, we thank you for your feedback and understand your frustration.
However, we can't help but feel a little touched and a lot happy to know this. We never had this problem in the past. We launched at all sorts of inappropriate times, never informed anyone of when we were launching cos NO ONE CARED ANYWAY. Or so we felt. So to know that people would actually want to know when we are launching to have a first look is mind blowing. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. Hahaha.
Okay, back to emails! Have a fantabulous week!!! (:
AH CRAP! We meant to start a Heart Monday thingamajig where we post stuff we heart every monday (hence the name. Genius we know.) to shoo those Monday blues. Good idea no? But that, erm, did work out too well cos as you can see, it is TUESDAY. Oh wth, it's kinda like monday night anyway so here goes! (:
Being the first Heart Monday and all, we have a special theme this week which would set Yan's heart a-flutter cos it's all about PINK.
We Heart:
1. yummilicious pink cupcakes
2. this beyond adorable pink car
3. fluffy pink cotton candy!
4. gorgeous hair that LOOKS like fluffy pink cotton candy
5. pretty pink laundry on the clothesline
6. bright pink shoelaces
7. this pink Balenciaga bag (loving those blue nails too!)
8. fairytale-esque pink trees
9. cute lil pink suitcases
10. spools of pink threads
11. this lovely pink bicycle

And that rounds up our first Heart Monday! (: Hope yall heart-ed them as much as we did. Oh you know what else we heart? OUR LATEST COLLECTION. Omg we're shameless. Hahaha. Link's below! We make it so convenient. HAHA. We're still waiting on replies from our suppliers regarding restocks for some pieces so hopefully they will come through. In the meantime, CLICKCLICK!
Wantwantwant. Things I do not have enough of: Stockings, WTFOMG gorgeous shoes, perfect printed sheer tops. And of course, money to buy them all. Sigh.
STORY OF MY LIFE. That's like me and Yan in a nutshell. I would be like "Heeeeello. Did you hear what I said???" And there would just be "*tap tap taptaptap tap* Huh?" Coincidentally I'm also the one with the short crop and she with the long tresses. Hm. There must be something there. Hahaha. You know I love you BFF, just stop checking in at places on Foursquares!!!
And a big thank you to all of you who came down for the flea!!! We really appreciate it! (: Although we were super tired and yan even napped out for a bit (she hadn't slept in 2 days!) so we might have seemed quite stoned and looked a tad unfriendly BUT WE'RE REALLY NOT! I just kept staring into space. Hahaha.
Plus we didn't want to seem pushy so we usually just let people browse till they ask us something. But it was fun! Especially with our crazy friends in the next booth who kept changing strategies to get people to buy their stuff. I'm looking at you Chengs. Hahaha. All in all, it was lovely and I had bak ku teh for the second time in my life which was total YUM. Hungry just thinking about it. Darn.
Okay time for bed before I succumb to a midnight snack. NIGHTO!
Bowsbowsbows! Can I just have the finished product? LOVE the one on the left. And they make it look so EASY. I'd probably end up with bits of fabric stuck to my hair and a weird misshapen bow. Hahaha.
In other news, we are still trying to get our suppliers to open a backorder for the Pretty in Pastels Lilac Skirt! We will know by tomorrow if it's possible so fingers crossed!!! And if you need reminding how awesomely lovely and swishy it is (yes, swishy is a word! I think.)
She was unstoppable. The moment she wore it she couldn't stop twirling. It is addictive. Hahaha. More news on it soon!!!
So we were thinking. As we will probably not be able to churn out a preview since the photoshoot has been postponed to tomorrow, perhaps this collage may help.
What happens when you take the structured billow sleeves from Calvin Klein and cross it with the sandy hues and simple cuts from Chloé? A lovely dress that's coming up in Collection 18! Hahaha. Hopefully everything will go as planned tomorrow and we should have the collection up early wednesday latest. We can't wait!!! (:
Photoshoot has been postponed as model was ill yesterday and the studio is fully booked today. Which means the launch has been pushed back as well ):
Hopefully the shoot can be arranged tomorrow, which will be a bit of a tight squeeze cos of clashing schedules. Shorter photoshoot = smaller collection. Oh well. Perhaps we will put up the other items at the flea (:
Shall make full use of this sudden extra free time to be productive. Byyyyyy, finishing up the last season of Hustle. I'm terrible.
Just to let yall know we have restocked on the Ribbon Delight Mint Maxi Dress! Drop us an order form/email as usual to purchase!
Zooey Deschanel + Ribbons = ADORABLE.
Oh and one more thing, we're heading to a FLEA!!!
We'll be there on Saturday, 11th Sep so come join us!!! We'll bring tidbits! HAHAHA. Past collection items would be sold cheeeeeaply so if you have your eye on something but are kinda tight on the cash, this would be perfect! (: COME COME!
Okay, should wrap up the prep for tomorrow's shoot and head to bed. Starting to feel a bit too sleepy for my liking. NIGHT EARTHLINGS!
Hello mellos! Phew, a bit of a whirlwind the past week. And we're going to have a photoshoot early morning tomorrow. Okay so maybe 1130 isn't exactly EARLY early but mornings are just so difficult! Especially on weekends. Hahaha. Hopefully this time we would have enough time to put up a preview before the launch!
And thank you all for your lovely support for this past collection and we should be launching the next one either sunday or monday!!! (:
In the meantime, here are some inspiring pictures from GaryPepperVintage of her gorgeous new office. And how cute are those purple knit toe-socks!!!
