I am addicted to online shopping.
Blah. Blah. Blah.
It takes up alot of my time just to browse through the items offered,
but I feel damn happy after I make up my mind to buy something.
Say hello to retail therapy at the comfort in my own home!
Well, I've had some bad experiences with e-bay/yahoo online auction accounts,
whereby the clothes dun even look the same as the ones shown in the pictures.
I have stuff that I never touch cos I just couldn't fit in or the material looks yucky.
I told myself I will never touch online e-baying stuff anymore.
Yah, sometimes their S/M sizes are actually XS.
The danger of online shopping (for clothes) is that you don't get to try or touch the real stuff, and you buy the wrong stuff that actually doesn't suit you, although it suits the models perfectly. But pros of online shopping is that, you dun need to doll urself up, travel to the shopping centres and spend time shopping. It's fast and efficient at the click of a button.
I will never buy bottoms/skirts online, bcos i'm convinced that I need to try bottoms/skirts to make sure nothing goes wrong, cos my legs are longer and my body is shorter.
So I guess I'm somewhat inproportional.
Ever since Cordy showed me www.zipia.net, I became an advocate of online shopping and online window shopping.
I was so HOOKED.
SO many CLOTHES from Korea, and the models are damn cute/chio.
Yup.
t.Her, Pong by Rushe, Aidma are sone of my favourite Korean brands offered in zipia.
They even provide fashion for male metrosexuals.
Superb fashion style. BIG Thumbs up for ZIPIA.
Alrighty, enough said, I am just dying to do a mini write up!!
Current Sites that I've been visiting
They bring in clothes from taiwan, japan and korea. The clothes there are very fashionable but are more appropriate for office ladies. I can't wait for their latest offerings from Korea, cos i know Aidma and t.Her are going to be sold! A little expensive but still reasonable. Prices range from SGD 19.90 to SGD 35 for tops and dresses. The owners of the blog reply to my emails very promptly and they were very polite. 4/5 stars for good service, I highly recommend them as they really take the effort to keep track of their inventory and are very nice people.
This is a must-see website that offers wholesale or imports of the korean brands. There are many coordinations of how to wear different style of clothes and it's really very very gorgeous. This website is based in Korea, so the currency is in USD, conversion rate is 1.5, a tad too expensive for the miserable poor student. AND you need to spend up to a minmum amount of 500 USD, before they process your order for shipment. CORDY is doing a spree on www.zipia.net, ladies or guys who are interested, please go and see, cos the clothes are really really very nice. If you are interested in getting anything from zipia, pls dun hesitate to tell me or cordy!
Well, I've always gone to shoplah to see the clothes but never really dared to buy anything from them, until recently. They have a WIDE variety of CLOTHES at VERY AFFORDABLE prices. They have good schemes for memberships like discount of 10% for 3 and more tops, free postage fee if you post their blog link on your website. (For someone so GIAN PENG like me,when it comes to SALE, heh heh, i wld make a dash for it) Oh, and they are a registered company, so you can probably trust them.
I've read about some reviews from www.yebber.com that SHOPLAH's customer service isn't that good, as they take their own sweet time to reply to your orders or enquiries, and they dun bother to check their inventory until money's been transferred over to their bank account, which means you made a wasted effort in transferring the money only to find out that they ran out of stock. Inefficient and the reviewer said they didn't even bother to apologise for their inefficiency and was rather curt. If you dun mind waiting for their slow replies, you can try buying from this site. Better cross your fingers and pray and hope nothing is out of stock.
They have a very nice and sweet layout for their blog, which is a plus for me. The clothes are very nice, but quite expensive, considering the fact that majority of their clothes are from taiwanese big names like V.Jeni, MAZ, Cutie, Cat World etc. If somebody did a spree from these taiwanese big names, after a quick conversion from TWD to SGD, you will realise the clothes are actually damn cheap, below 20 bucks. Well, it's for the sake of earning profits, that they increase the price. If you're willing to spend and simply love the cutesy, adorable look, go view this website. Sometimes I get toothache from seeing too much of these sweet, cute models.
This online clothes website offers a wide range of clothes from cute cartoonie t-shirts and tops to bottoms & belts. From wut i see, they are offering clothes from taiwan V.Jeni & Cutie. The pricing is very very very affordable. I highly recommend this site if you're looking for cheap and cute clothes. But you must be fast, as they have very little instock quantities, 1-2 pieces for each design. They also offer pre-order items and I like this blog cos they offer belts, which most blogs dun offer, and at very reasonable prices. Their prices are way below $10. I'm like, WOW, cos belts offered in shops, often cost at least $20 and above. It's a must SEE.
This blog offers drugstore cosmetics from JAPAN, and the prices are reasonable and comparable to waston or guardian. They are currently doing a spree from Taiwanese online clothes boutiques like cutie, mr q, wonderland and BIGI MALL! Okie, I LOVE BIGI MALL, cos they offer beautiful bags at VERY VERY affordable prices. This blog is new, so they are not charging any handling fee for their first spree and there's free postage fee for 3 or more items and they do mass meet ups too. So basically, you just need to pay for the item in SGD (after conversion from TWD) + Shipping Fee + Postage fee. I ordered 3 bags from BIGI Mall spree, if anyone of you is interested pls tell me, I can get free postage for you guys and maybe get a discount from her regarding the shipping fee.
If you still aren't convinced about local online blogging shops, there's always the tried and tested online brand names like www.wetseals.com; www.forever21.com; www.victoriasecrets.com, all of which are in USD and have quality assured clothes!
