Sibling rivalry, anyone?

Yoooohoo!
Bid those Wednesday woes toodles
because there's nothing cooler than a sister act.

A sister blogshop act, that is! ;)

With one sister blogshop having a crazy clearance sale at
only RM20 per piece or RM30 for 2 pieces of clothing ...
We now have its sister blogshop doing some cool pre-orders
from Taiwan, Korea, China, & Thailand!

Which sister sites am I yakkin' about?
Stitch and Stitch Pre-Order, of course! :D

But today we'll talk about Stitch Pre-Order :)

First up they've got CLOTHES (prices starting from RM20).
From leather bomber jackets to glossy polyster ones,
preppy long knitted cardigans to boyfriend blazers,
gorgeous black maxi dresses to laced chiffon tops,
dual-toned dresses to sweetheart tube tops,
oversized checkered jumpers to figure-flaunting lace dresses ...

Floral to plain, satin to cotton, pinafores to sequins,
winter clothing, summer dresses, leggings,
some even READY STOCK clothes ...
This is one sister who's got it all. ;)

And if that isn't enough reason to be jealous of this sister...
Now they've even brought in pre-order shoes,
which only take ONE WEEK to arrive! :)
How awesome is that?
Price range: RM50 to RM75.
They've got Oxford boots, studded gladiator sandals,
T-bar wedges & more!

You know you want to click on this sister site ;)

A Fashion Story: Contest Results

Remember our first contest this month, a giveaway sponsored by accessories haven, A Fashion Story? :) Well, we have our winners!

Winner 1
xinmin24

Contest entry: The item I like the most is the moon earstud. This silver earstud is very elegant and what is the most inspiring is that it can be worn formally or informally. And I think that's what all the girls want. A single pair of earrings for multiple functions. I would have imagined myself to wear this earrings with white long dresses during a prom party, a girl's day out. So, that's why I love about it!!!!

Winner 2

OMG>>>> who can ever resist the shiny flower stars earrings. I really love this pair as I always think that circle type of earrings with pendant dangliing is very beautiful and unique. And it is really very difficult to find it in any shopping complex as most of them either are too common for us. Or perhaps there might be a unique one in Top shop but again it is totally not affordable for us. That's why I think blogshops in Malaysia have really done a good job. and now we even have varieties of korean style earrings. Gonna love it .. ** finger-crossed** thanks june!

Winner 3

Wondering why would a guy participating this competition? Actually I just wanna get a gift for my girlfriend, so why not give it a try. My girlfriend has been talking to me about this necklace found in ur site: Violin piano long necklace.
Actually she is a music addicts and she knows piano and violin. SHe can play them very well, and this necklace actually matches and reflects her identity so well that she cant even resist it. I told her to buy from you, but she said it is sold out so fast that she doesn’t even have a chance. So hopefully u can replenish it and hopefully I can get a gift for my girl :)

Congratulations to the winners,
and hope you enjoy your price! :D

Thank you once again to A Fashion Story for being our wonderful sponsor!

Urgent: Did you lose your bag? and Reader's Concerns

Important message from Hazel Mazel! Please spread the word ya!

"Hi there,

Have you lost a bag lately? and a student of SEGI College?? Because one of the Hazel Mazel member got a phone call from a girl name Sharon, saying that she found a bag at the near by bus stop next to Assunta Hospital. In the bag contains car keys, house key, pen-drive, and a diary.... but no mobile or wallet is seen... if you have lost a bag or a victim of a snatch thief few days back, please contact me asap.

Can't get the bag owners name as there was no wallet or mobile seen.. Sharon, the girl who found the bag, read through the owners diary and found out that the owner was once a customer of our blogshop, thats how we got her call. Since we don't have the bag owners name, so we try to help out by mailing all of our customers... do pass this message around, poor girl must be worried sick...

thanks.
Carina.
016-6067985"

Chances are that the owner of the bag is an online shopper - one of our very own shopping kaki - so please spread the word ya! Hope this helps :)

Edited (29/9): Owner of the bag FOUND! :D


~On another note~

Recently, I've been receiving more and more e-mails from readers concerned about the authenticity of goods sold online (among several other issues raised by readers, which I will try to help address over time). These items/names/keywords in question include: Crocs, perfumes, Ed Hardy, Juicy Couture, branded watches and bags.

Some of these readers have purchased items under the impression that they are authentic - and some of the blogshop owners who sold these items to them assured them they were buying authentic goods. Turns out some of them were not authentic goods. :/ And the readers feel scammed.

The tricky part is: I understand that blogshop owners may not always be able to say for sure if the items are authentic, and suppliers may assure different things, and so on. It's really not the buyer or seller's fault most of the time.

So I just wanted to post this here, and hope that it helps people: If you are looking to buy goods that are definitely authentic, please be aware that if you buy them online, you are taking a risk.

If anyone has any thoughts, comments, experiences, or questions to share, please feel free to leave a comment below. :) You don't need to sign in, reveal your name/website, or any personal details. You can remain completely anonymous. Help your fellow shoppers out!

Edited (30/9): Check out the comments below for stories that readers have shared, and even clarifications from sellers!

"We're thrilled that our bazaar in September was a blast! On Sept 12 (Sat), we had celebrity bloggers such as Cheesie, KYspeaks and Yvonne Foong who came and be part of our bazaar. Subang Jaya resident Yvonne Foong had a booth at our bazaar to raise funds for her upcoming surgery in December. Read about her story here. Then we had Alice Wonders whom generously sponsored her famous vintage briefcase bag! (Don't worry if you missed the free giveaway, there'll be more contests and prizes from drool-worthy blogshops coming soon!)

On the following Monday (Sept 14), the hitz.fm cruisers were also there to heat things up on the first weekday bazaar @ Subang Square. Though on leave from work, radio announcer Jin popped by with the cruisers to give away BEP concert tics! Besides that, their giveaways include FHM mags, 7-up Revive, Dominos Pizza vouchers among others. You may refer to attach pics and view more pics at our website.

Then more good news! We have extended the Early Bird Rates due to popular demand! Means you'll be able to enjoy RM50 for Mon/Wed and RM60 for Sat! Those taking both Mon and Wed within the same week will enjoy a low rate of a mere RM45/day!
