I love shopping! June 15, 2008

Filed under: chill, fashion — sikurus @ 2:53 am
Tags: , , ,

So yes I did love shopping and spending my money with stuffs I loved. I’m a bit spendthrift I guess but I planning to save money for buying some other stuff. Just want to share some stuffs:

1) Flea market

Some unique items or antique items you can find here. This might be interesting place to find your vintage stuffs!. There some place I know around KL.

  • Amcorp Mall (during Saturday & Sunday from 9am to 6pm)
  • The Curve ( during Satuday & Sunday)
  • Sunrise Compex, Mont Kiara ( Sunday from 10am to 6pm)

More info: Malay Mail

2) Online shopping

Good choice if you love designer clothes or accessories but it always way out from your budgets or you just want collectible/special edition stuff . Some of online shopping website have auction system where allowed you to bid. You might have cheaper price in your favourite’s! I never buy anything yet but Jia just received Casio Watch she bought from ebay. Pretty cool and some accept deposit cash. Here some list I’ve known/found:

p/s: Full directory for your online shopping :emmagemThanks to KarenMarie for info!

p/s:Oh! sorry for long listing hik :P If you trying to buy something far from your area, you have to take account shipment cost too!

3) Warehouse Sale

Warehouse Sale is a perfect time for shopping especially in branded stuffs. The sale could be crazy it some goes to 80% discount! For updating warehouse sale date and place check out ShoppingNsales. A great website for updated sales in Malaysia. you wouldn’t want to miss!

4) Bundle/thrift shops/factory outlet

There are few bundle shops around my area but I didn’t find it interesting yet. Perhaps I will try to find other place. C always fond to shop with me, I will ask him later. Some clothes from bundle shop might be 2nd handed so if you not used with it, you might get itchy. Make sure you wash it for few times first. However there are lots good condition stuffs especially shoes and bags. Some of thrift shops have charity concept, stuffs you buy will be accounted as charity. I found one at Mid Valley, quite hidden near Madam Kwan if I not mistaken. I always shop at FOS (factory outlet store). Its like my first place i find if I go to any mall. Thus, Reject Shop also have quite impressive collections. There are quite a number of factory outlets in mall like Mines shopping mall, Times Square, Sungei Wang etc. This place definitely best option for low-budget shopper and student like me :)

6) Favorite brands

There are some brands that I love in Malaysia because of their difference in designs and styles although it can be costly sometime. I always buy only during sales and sometime I try to find something similar with cheaper price. It good to have some references.

  • Forever21
  • PullandBear
  • Diva
  • Dorothy Perkins
  • Miss Selfridge
  • Topshop
  • Zara
  • MNG
  • Roxy
  • Mell
  • Springfield

Warning! Make sure you save your money before shopping. It could be frustrating and irritates when you want to shopping but got no money. If that is the case, care to window shopping. It might ease your shopping habits.

Happy shopping though!

sneaker vending machine April 18, 2008

Filed under: fashion — sikurus @ 9:44 pm

wow cool! my first impression on onitsuka tiger in his idea of sneaker vending machine! you just put in your money, choose your design and size..then poof!  The machine is made up of over 100 bespoke parts and can vend 24 pairs of trainers at any one time, in any of 6 sizes. the vending machine stationed at Carnarby street at onitsuka tiger store for only 3 days!( 14th - 16th of April). it will embark on national tour starting from Manchester throughout this year and all shoes will be given away!!!

Penny Keen, Onitsuka Tiger Brand Manager commented: “We hope trainer fans love our latest creation as much as we do and enjoy the latest and most innovative way to buy their Tiger Feet. Onitsuka Tiger prides itself on its heritage, so taking inspiration from modern day Japanese vending machines (which vend anything from eggs to loo rolls) seemed like the perfect next step for the brand; it’s satisfying knowing that we’re the first in the world to do it and we can’t wait to take it to Onitsuka Tiger fans across the UK.”

so anyone stays at LONDON, you must not miss out!!!!

Some facts:

* Each postcard entitles the winner to one token only to use in the vending machine
* Winning postcards must be exchanged for an Onitsuka Tiger token at store counter
* The vending machine only vends trainers in the following sizes: UK 5,6,7,8,9 and 10. No alternative sizes will be provided
* Trainers vended are non refundable and non exchangable
* The machine will stock only Mexico 66 in Red/ White/ Blue for the April launch
* No purchase necessary
* No cash replacements are available for this promotion
* The competition runs daily between Monday 14th and Wednesday 16th April until the vending machine is empty each day. If the machine is empty, no alternative prize or cash will be given

p/s: would love to buy new sneaker soon~~
