Shop whilst working...

in a fashion company is a bad idea. You will ended up buying things from there and you always remind yourself you've got a STAFF PRICE! hahah~ I'm always in the stock room so I'll always get to see new stuff coming in the store before it goes to the shopfloor. Felt so tempting whenever I see clothes, shoes & accessories that I like and my colleagues always share their department's pretty stuff which makes us go like "Awwwww! I want them!!". Supervisor will show us pretty clothes whenever she unpack new delivery. And yes, I fall into their trap and ended up reserving the goods for staff purchase later. Belum dapat gaji, sudah 'splurged' (I couldn't remember how to translate them to BM =/ ) I promised bi that I WILL leave my staff discount card at home and will never spend money again.

First of all, this is my very first "oi sam" lunchbox from my bi. Fried rice with black sauce topped with egg. YUMMY~ =)


Yesterday, I bought this hp bling bling accessories! Cute,eh? They have pumps as well but it's too big and I think I will make them as a necklace instead because it's quite heavy to hang on your phone.



Every girls love this shirt when they are in the stock room and only left size 12. My colleague who wears size 8-10 bought them, someone even bought them even their in size 14/16! She came to me and ask for larger size and I told her we only left size 12. She was pretty disappointed. After few steps away from those shirts, she came back and said "I DON'T CARE!I'M getting 'em. I'll just wear a jumper on it" ROFL!!~ I told my supervisor about it and she was like "CAN SHE FIT 'EM?". I LOLed and said "She'll put on her jumpers". We only have 15 in stock and 6 of us bought them.


I saw another series of this shirt today while hanging those shirts! They've got a lacey ribbon on it and I WANT THEM! Luckily, don't have my size or else, i will sure pokkai before when I got my salary at the end of the month! Geez~ Working in a fashion retail is not a good idea!

Office Lady

Never ever I'm a fans of office lady work wear because I always looked fat in them! Their material and cutting which makes us fat. Therefore, I NEED to wear them to work =( IN A FASHION RETAILER! I thought working in a fashion retailer could be fashionable, free style and as long as its feel comfortable but no, according to the company's policy, you gotta strictly wear formal. Sigh. The worst thing is, I brought back my work trousers so I need to buy them tmr and you know, it's hard for me to find pants that fits me perfectly. =( However, I just should cincai grab one because I gotta work on Monday and most shop closes at 4pm on SUNDAY! This the reason why I hate their opening hours here. They open at 10am and closes at 6pm except for Sunday. However, it's good to WORK here because you get to go back early! hehehee. So yea, it's like GIVE AND TAKE.

Thus, it was a tiring day today my first day at work but I had fun because it keeps me busy and I enjoy it =)

Trends (Socks with Open toes shoes!)

I really do have passion for fashion. I almost enroll in fashion design course and in the end, I felt I should go into Graphic Design & Advertising because I love designing cards back then. Therefore, I'm more passionate in Advertising now after completing my Degree in Graphic Design. I guess I took the wrong course. My passion towards graphic design is fading off. I just don't know why. Anyway, what is fashion if you don't have the body and money,right? I came across Erica Toh's comment in Lee Ming's blog. Her motto was

"You need not to be rich to be stylish; individual creativity and a sense of individuality will set you apart and make you stand out from the rest - just like a sore thumb!"

And yes, I agree what she (I'm not sure how she definite 'rich') said because I used to think like her back then but seriously, to create what you want it to be, you need the money to dress up yourself, isn't it? You will probably fell in love with the things that would cost you a bomb. All I can do is just browse them and hoping for sales or perhaps, just FORGET about them. =/ Find something similar? Well, there are certain designs you can't get their similarities. Another issue is your body. Sometimes when I look at the models, look at how good they are in that dress. I love the deals and cheap clothes in-store and online store but, when I looked at myself , I wondered if they will look good on me. Can they fit me? All I can only do is to visit the store and try 'em in the fitting room myself. What can you do if you can afford the things you like but you couldn't wear 'em? And sometimes only expensive clothing fits you. You got no choice but to buy them. It's pathetic, I should say. I remember there are one local fashion designer in Malaysia said his clothes only designed to fit SLIM women and plus size women would 'disgrace' his design. Not only our local designers but some international designers as well. That's why you'll only see skinny models! Making girls felt less confidence and starve themselves in order to fit their dress. I'm one of them but I failed to starve myself after few attempts. ahahaha!

Anyway, pictures below is taken from www.zipia.net, a wholesale Korean website. It does not belong to me! Except for my own scarf. I came across this website from my friend and I don't find the things they are selling is dirt cheap. =p

I'm loving the style of wearing a fashionable socks with sandals, gladiator and open toes shoe! I'm not sure if its appropriate in Malaysia because it's so freaking hot! And I guess this style only matches slim legs and suitable for spring/autumn season. =(





I don't fancy scarfs and mufflers actually and my mom had like tons of them. My mom lend me her mufflers and one of them knitted by my cousin sister. Yea, so this is my very first scarf. I usually borrow them till I found one in Zara last month when I hunt for leggings. I spotted this cute little scarf with ribbon prints on it and cost about £15. This little scarf din't make me think twice before purchasing it. Therefore, I don't know how to make use of scarf except wearing them in basic casual ways. I googled the way to tie a scarf unfortunately, couldn't find the one I like. I found 3 styles that I like in zipia but I need to figure out how to tie them =( I'm afraid my scarf is too short and thick.


I guess this style only applicable to mufflers because is long enough.


I think my scarf is too short to tie a knot at the end like her.


this style is cute but too small for my scarf =/


See, I seriously don't know how to tie them =/ oh well! Anyway, I've found this pre-owned 30 years old vintage Gucci clutch/sling in eBay and it cost approx. £130 including shipping fees from US. I'm not sure who bid the highest but I really like this bag!!! If I'm working now, I will definitely bid this! There are few pictures that shows she's selling authentic items besides her guarantee promises and also based on her ratings. Still looks good in condition. Unfortunately, I couldn't buy it so Bye bye ~

Latest Trend Bags~ (Cruise Collection)

I love bags more than clothes, honestly! I bet most girls would rather leave their head behind than their bags! I would rather spend more money on bags rather than clothes because I think bags are something you can use forever. I browse thru Chanel website and look at their latest Cruise collection! It's amazingly adorable and pretty <3 expensive ="(

Speaking about buying luxrious goods; Honestly, I always eye for the brands like Gucci, Chanel, Coach & Prada because I love their design. The authenticalism in the product itself makes me wanna buy them and also, support them! But somehow, pirated goods is everywhere now - even in the city of London. They just sell pirated goods beside those authentic branded shops! I understand why there's pirated goods because they are cheap and they are almost the same as the original ones! Therefore, if more people support them, there will be more pirated goods coming in. I felt this shows no respect to designers because I am a designer myself. I know how it feels if people out there copy my design and produce them in cheaper quality and sell them off in utterly cheap price! That's why I would rather spend a little money to get an authentic goods rather than buying the pirated ones. We need to support them so that they could produce more mind blowing design! If couldn't afford them, get something similiar but totally not the pirated ones =.= Seriously, good design came from established designers and there is where trends come from. Look, there are lots of similiar bags designed like Chanel in Topshop or wherever right? They aren't expensive and I think less tham rm100. Better get those than getting a pirated Chanel bags. Stop supporting pirated ones =)

Anyway, those are the my favourite 3 bags from Chanel! *drools*



This is cuteee!





Gucci, Gucci. It's my favourite brand of all! I don't know why. Most of them said it looks cheapskate because of the pirated ones! See, why not supporting authentic ones so the product won't look trashy. =.= And if you have one, everyone will go like "Hey, it's that the fake one?" If you're holding a fake one will you proudly say "Yes!"? Not until if they see you living in a huge house and driving a sports car, they will still ask you if the bag you're holding is fake =p

Anyway, I don't know why I love Gucci totes! Honestly, I can put lots of things in tote bag =D That's one of the reason why I love them and also they are casual looking! I've already got the gold one which was Cruise collection 07, I think. Now, I want the silver one! xD I want white colour too and canvas type. My mom will think I'm crazy for buying the same totes in different colour but I really love them! Gotta wait till I work, I will buy them as collection! Btw, those are Gucci's Cruise collection 09/10. Amazing colour, isnt it? Silver is the trend! hoho!







I like this one. Simple and classy. Very original design.

Purse, purse. I wanted to get a purse but I don't know which one to get =( These are the Cruise collection too! One of my top 3.


This purse seems unique. Therefore, the colour ... ewww..



Or should I get this kind of purse? hmmm....

Coach is not too expensive tho compared to Gucci & Chanel. It's quite affordable with nice style and design. Especially when they come out with pop-art design! Vivid coloured prints and fresh!
I like this bag. Simple and nice. But, argh. I wondered why don't they have Coach in London! Weirddddd... I heard that they do have an outlet in the airport. Wait, AIRPORT?! what a place man.


Pop art design. I like!
