The Luxurious Fashionista: December 2008

The end.

This is going to be the very last post for the year 2008.
In a few hours time, we'll be ushering in a new year.
And for me, it'll be a new beginning. A new chapter in life.
I wish all of you the very best for the great year ahead!
My resolution for 2009 is to TRY to stop buying bags.
Okie okie, I know right. AS IF I CAN. But then again... Haha!
Oh well, I said I'll try, didn't I? *giggles* HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

Girls' night out! :) - PART 5

"Ouch!" I screamed then laughed out loud.

"You and your never-ending funny jokes!" Carmen said.

"Ha-ha! Joke aside, I seriously need you to give me the blogshop address NOW!" I emphasized on the last bit of my sentence.

"Kiss my arse, and I'll bring you over," she said with a notorious look.

"Oh, if that's what you want, that's what you're gonna get, babe!" I joked.

"Okay okay, you daring b*tch! I'm not taking the risk. I'll bookmark it for you, sounds great?" she asked.

"Certainly do!" I said.

I was overwhelmed with excitement as she type in alphabet per alphabet. And finally, she hit on ENTER!

"Oh, did I mention I got a rebate from them?" Carmen asked as I drool over the varieties of designs, paying very little attention to her.

It was only after she nudged me did I realise, I was so indulged in this whole new experience. "What? How?" I asked as I continued to browse through, eyeing on already 5 pieces, in less than 10 minutes.

"They're having a year-end promotion. For every RM100 spent, you'll be given RM10 rebate," Carmen said.

"Looks like my rebate is waiting anxiously for me!" I said then laughed. "From this week onwards, we shall change our girls' night out to girl's night in! I can do without hitting the pub or club for a few months, darl. Save up on the moolah to do more e-shopping!" I suggested.

Carmen nodded in agreement as we continued to browse around while we sip our sparkling wine and have a lil, only a lil crackers. Oh well, consumption of junk food once in a while SHOULD be fine, I suppose.

Girls' night out! :) - PART 4

"Okay okay… As you were saying…" I trailed off.

"Yes this is better, thank you. I've checked them out and this online boutique offers really stylish fashion items! They have tops for fashionable casual look, and also professional apparels too. They hold on to this unique concept of combining easy-to-wear styles with mix-and-match flexibility," she explained, looking all expert. Oh well, after all, this is what she does best as an online fashion magazine editor.

"Gosh, Carm! This is getting exciting! But then again, are online boutiques worthy of our trust?" Being an amateur at this whole cyber shopping experience, I certainly have more questions than not.

"I've bought several items from them, and I've got to give this to them, Rach. Transactions were quick, and the owners behind the boutique were really friendly and helpful too. Well, like this top here that I'm wearing? This is among the items I got from them. To be really frank, they're not only comfortable, the best bit of all is their affordability!" she continued.

"You've got to be kidding me. Carm, are you serious? You bought this from them? You look awesome, girl. I thought you bought this from some branded designer clothing stores," I said as I went through the details of Carmen's top. "But everyone is going to be wearing the same thing considering the affordable price and great quality."

"Ha-ha! You're wrong, fussy pot! Their products are available only in limited quantities as they try their best to maintain our individuality. Rest assured, you won't be bumping into many girls on the street with the same outfit. Amazing, aren't they?" Carmen explained.

"Wow! I'm starting to have this very good impression of them. When was it did you buy this? I might want to have a check if they have something similar," I said.

"I bought this last week but I'm sure you won't want anything similar to this once you feast your eyes on their updates. I was told via the email that they bring in new arrivals every fortnightly so as to suit our needs. Looks like they're aware that our personal style constantly evolves according to what's in-trend. We can browse through the latest styles at our leisure, anytime, anywhere. Now you see why I love the Internet so much, huh?" she teased.

"Now I know. With a click of the mouse, we get our desired fashion items delivered right to our doorstep. Simply amazing! I've got to really catch up with the cyber space. I feel like an outdated grandma. What else do they sell online, huh?" I asked.

"They've got everything, hun. You name it, they have it. What? Don't look at me like that. I am serious! From a whole variety of tops, to everyday or occasion dresses, skirts, trousers, statement tees, belts, and even jewelry," she patiently shared her knowledge.

"Whoah!" I gasped. "I think it is coming… Oh, it is! I can feel it."

"What is coming, babe?" Carmen asked curiously.

"It's here – my fashiongasm. Ahhh, bliss!" And I moaned really loudly.

Girls' night out! :) - PART 3

"You sure know how to enjoy life, girl. If only I get to work free-lance, I'll have plenty of time to rejuvenate myself with this new face mask of mine," I said, green in envy.

"Wasn't this the one you bought a fortnight ago, when we were at KLCC?" Carmen asked.

"Indeed, it is. You know how my mask finishes less than a week after I've bought them. Work has definitely taken its toll on me. I haven't even got time to apply masks every night anymore. Look at my skin. So wrinkly and awful looking," I sighed with a frown on my face.

"Don’t fret, darling. At least you're earning big bucks! When the tough gets going, the going gets tough. You knew it was going to be hard being a boss lady, but being the ambitious-self that you are, you wouldn't let such a great opportunity slip by without even giving it a try. After all, you've got great potential in succeeding. I believe in you, babe," Carmen comforted me.

"Aww hun! You really do know how to make me feel better. But let's not talk about work tonight. Topic closed! What happened to our e-shopping?" I teased.

"Oh, yes! The whole purpose of tonight's cathing up! Remember Megan? Nick's colleague?" Carmen asked.

"Nick as in your boyfriend Nick, or our high school annoying mate, Nick Tan?" I asked, trying to act all silly, and we both burst out into laughters.

"Of course I remember Meg. A crazy shopaholic, she is. She labels herself as the Fashionista of the Year and she dresses like she's a celebrity. Ha-ha! Tell me Carm, how can I forget someone who dresses as if she got invited to a ball when all we had that night were the charcoal grill and sausages?" I spoke in between really loud giggles.

"Rach! That's really mean of you to say that. Oh, I can't help but agree though!" she breaks into hysterical high-pitched laughters. "Damn! I miss these gossip sessions with you. We've got to do this more often, girl. Anyway, as I was saying, Meg recommended this online boutique to me, and boy was I amazed,” Carmen said.

"How amazing? To be able to meet up to Meg's expectation, I would suppose they sell plenty of occasion dresses that can be worn to BBQ parties then?" I hazarded a guess.

"Ha-ha-ha! Rach, you've got to stop pulling my leg or I'll never finish what I'm trying to say here," Carmen hissed at me.
