December's Blogshop of the Month: Top 3 Finalists!

Ladies and gentlemen,

The Final Round for the December's Blogshop of the Month
Readers' Choice Award voting competition has officially BEGUN!

After 284 votes in Round 1,
your top 3 finalists are revealed!

Ladies Fashion
Vintage Biri-Biri
The It Girl

Ladies Fashion
Well-known in the online shopping world for their notoriously unbeatable prices,
will kindness towards allowances and limited salaries trump all in this bad economy?



Vintage Biri-Biri
Or will it be the queen of vintage blogshops, with a household name for vintage-lovers,
and items that sell out so fast you wonder if they were ever available to begin with?
Will their one-of-a-kind pieces win them the ultimate bragging rights?

The It Girl
Or will it be the seeming "underdog" of this contest, a newbie who has made it
and proven itself amongst some of the biggest names in the blogshop industry?
Will its significant leaps and bounds in presentation and improvement win it the coveted
Blogshop Of The Month title, giving hope for new blogshops everywhere?


You decide. ;)
Scroll down to the bottom of this website to vote!

Voting ends when November ends :)

FOOTNOTE
I was halfway blogging about Chic POP Street Market last night when I fell asleep :( Totally zonked out, lol. Sorry! Picking up where I left off now, full post should be up in a few hours. Like 100 pictures too! :D

Their stuff is not ugly at all, lolz! anyway this is why i wanna nominate them as dec's blogshop of the month! they bring in really really really nice stuffs. =) and if they win i want to know why they gave themselves that name! =p" -Syazana

"Hello Shalene! Doublewoot is the best, I am nominating it for Blogshop of the month! Although their clothes are not as cheap as some other blogshops, I think they provide excellent service =D I think that's worth more than saving a few bucks." -R.

The e-mails that nominated them:

"Shaleneeee! You havta nominate the it girl online! Have u seen their stuff?? they juz keep gettin better n better! especially if u compare from their startin days- they can win the most improved blogshop award too ehehe!" -Andrea

"Hi Sha-Lene! :) The blogshop i'd like to nominate for December's BOTM is Ladies Fashion. Their prices are fair (amazingly cheap, at times!), the quality is awesome, updates are frequent, the selection is jaw-dropping, service is quick and efficient, even their CODs are punctual (they so don't practice malaysian timing, which is a really good thing)! I've never been disappointed with any transaction made with them - and there have been quite a few! My first online purchase was from them, and well, I've never looked back. Except to their site la, which i've visited again and again and again. It's quite embarassing really - the first thing i do online is to open up their site (oh, and yours too btw haha) to check for updates :P Kate is a real lovely, patient and thoughtful girl. She knows i hate paying for postage so she reserves pieces that i ask for with no question of deposit or anything until i've finally made up my mind what to get - which can be quite a task with her wiiiide selection! (oops ok maybe if LadiesFashion does get nominated, that last sentence shouldn't be posted in the nomination email in case she gets inundated by similar requests by all her buyers haha :P) She replies every silly question and is open to suggestions and feedback. When people ask me if i can recommend any online blogshops i've shopped with, the first one i reply is always Ladies Fashion :) So yeah. More than enough said methinks :P Thanks alot, and keep up the good work! :) cheers" -wai yi

Click. Did that get your attention?

A New Vote On Your Shopping Kaki!

*Click*
A photograph is all it takes.

In the realm of online shopping, shoppers can no longer touch the clothes themselves, can no longer see the "real thing" for ourselves...

How does it happen? Why are we convinced to buy things we've never actually seen or touched?

The answer is simple: Photographs.

Online, what we buy is sold to us through photographs. It doesn't take much mental math to figure out that pictures are very, very, very important for a blogshop to do well!

So here's a voting poll that's a li'l different from Your Shopping Kaki's usual Blogshop of the Month votes (which will resume in the middle of June) - this is still a vote, you (the reader) still get to choose your favourite out of the nominees -

The only rule is: Base your vote on the blogshop's photographs! :)

And in Emmy-Award-fashion, "the nominees are ..."

An Old Flame



Like Seriously




Cup Clothes




Clothes For Fun




Pumpkin




Autumn Closet




Shopaholics Unite




Tic Tac Toe



Shoppers, this is your chance to be heard!

What kind of photographs do you like from blogshops? You decide! :)

The winning blogshop will win an 8-picture post on this blog - of 8 of the blogshop owner's favourite items. :D

Vote at the bottom of this webpage. Thank you! :)

Happy Shopping!
Your Shopping Kaki :)
