Online Shopping - its all the RAGE!

A few of my friends have started online shops!
(I almost started an online T-shirt business myself...I still hope to!)

Please please please please support them! Bookmark their shops NOW!

Why? Because they're my friends!!!!!!!!!!



Rose Patch
by my fellow churchie.


"We started off as a bunch of girls who LOVE to online shop during stats lessons. Then in the midst of all the craziness , we decided, why not do it ourselves! And here we are!!!

This shop was named Rosepatch, promising to bring together the
different aspects and views of feminine fashion.
Our collections promise to evoke Independance, Feminity,Confidence and Strength in every girl and woman.
Of course, not forgetting the thrill of cheap and great buys us girls treasure as an experience in shopping. We hope you find the same joy and pleasure, shopping with us at Rosepatch.:)

" Blog. Travel. Photography. Fashion.

That pretty much sums up what Su & Han (that’s us in elliefannie) love :)

Two girls, a lot of laughter, more pretty clothes and pictures.

We hope you enjoy browsing and buying these clothes as much as we enjoyed the process of planning, buying and shooting them. "

The newest of the three, the model you see in the picture above is my friend! Clair!

Clair's an air stewardess, so when she's free she roams the foreign lands and the less trodden paths in search of fashion pieces to bring back to sunny singapore!

I especially like the checked shirt you see in the picture up there and I'm going to get it regardless of whether it fits me or not! Hah!

They don't have an "about us" on their webpage yet, so here's just my two cents worth!

p.s. they also have a sister webpage which sells a whole lot of accessories. Also worth a visit!



I've been shopping online quite a bit, I haven't bought anything other than camera bags and lomos, but that's only because those Korean fashion websites or US sneaker websites don't ship to Singapore or ship to Singapore at exorbitant prices which would burn a hole in not just my pocket but through my ASS.

So I think its no wonder that these local online shops are experiencing such a boom! So many choices, and at such affordable prices. Seriously, where can you find a checked shirt like the one I like in Clair's shop at 24 BUCKAROOS!?? (oops, I just realised its sold out. Wassit me??)

Plus, I'm 99% sure I'm not going to be caught on the street wearing the same thing as someone else.

The only bad thing, is that this is becoming a bit of an addiction.

like addiction to youtube isn't bad enough (spending hours going through yoga's many performances )...
like addiction to FB isn't bad enough(checking for updates every one min) ...
like addiction to chain emails(checking for updates every one hour)...
like face-to-face communication with family and friends isn't lacking enough...

Add online shopping to the list and we're halfway to living a virtual life on the net 24/7.

So have fun and shop, but don't neglect the other aspects of your life ok?

Like now, I think I should get my fingers off this darn keyboard and place them elsewhere like maybe on my lonely guitar.

BYE.

No internet/computer for me for at least the next....

10minutes. HAH!
