i am a pretty new online shopper and i must say im satisfied with my new finds online, some of it are really awesome! but i had a few bad experiences the first time where i excitedly purchased a dress without enquiring about the height. alas it was a minidress and it barely covered my butt as the model was so petite. that wasted my money but i had no choice so i took it as a lesson.

from thereon i became more careful and started to browse more shops. most owners are very friendly such as french kiss, kiss and tell (very nice!), our mutual passion, tastycherrychapstick, and the closette etc.

however, i want to comment that the closette's prices are sometimes too high >.< i noticed that this satin dress from the closette

http://theclosettesold.blogspot.com/2008/10/satin-print-dress.html

is the same as the one from Ministry of Clothes. the difference? a whole hefty rm20 price difference.
also, the button side shorts from closette is rm11 more expensive than michatoo boutique.

however, i just wanted to draw attention to the price difference. i have no complaints about the closette's personality, she's a very nice person so i do not want to offend. thankss!

i really really like what Reader 39 wrote about.
suggesting good ways in taking photographs!

i would like to comment on certain blogshops which catches my eye and my thoughts on certain of them..

here goes!!

Ministry of Clothes

their photos are really clear and sharp.
i can easily judge the colour of the piece based on the pictures. as it's taken outdoor with natural lightings..


Dainty Dresser

love her pictures. consistent. and she's always smiling!! attracts buyers like me.
sharp clear nice pictures.


Ancient Orchids

alot of her photos are taken based on her reflection on the mirror.
i'm not a fan of her photos. coz she seems to pose in a very odd manner. it's like her body is slanted towards one angle. also, i can't see the bottom of the dress.


Vibrant Swirls

i understand not everyone is able to find another photographer to take their pictures. so the next alternative is, taking photo of yourself! Vibrant Swirls photos are pretty good.
the left one: can see the colour of the dress properly. sharp
the right one: obviously better la hahaha the model must have worn that dress to a function
but again, it's an outdoor shot and these shots usually turn out nicer


Kiss and tell


i dont know why she blur out the picture. it's so blur and i can hardly see the piece clearly!!
and i think she's a little petite. thus, not a very good model. gives people the wrong idea of the dress!
but now she's using mannequin, which.. not to my liking



D Looking Glass

lousy lighting!!
i can hardly see the real colours of the dress!
but pictures are clear

Clothesville

outdoor shots, with greenary as well!
nice. it's really colourful and the pictures are attractive.


too lazy to find more pictures!!
but as far as i remember,
i dont quite like the layout of Clothesbucket, alot of people like it but i find it very complicating. maybe it's because there are too many pictures for one item and the pictures are very big and not very organize (but more pictures are good too, probably the arrangement of the pictures need to be reconsidered)

Clothes For Fun - the model, i dont know why she pouts her mouth that way. a little bit distracting for me. otherwise, not bad!

Dressing Lab - she bends her body too much! but it's ok, apart from that.

The Closette - too much cleavage!! kinda sends the wrong message across

Rainbowmallows - her photos quite bright.

Candy treats - her photos abit distorted. stretched a bit. there may be some errors when uploading or transfering/compressing the photos...

Goddess City - photos super attractive! the way they model, its like the model is some successful business lady.

Stories from Readers 27

To think at a better side, rainbowmallow is now so popular and more n more ppl will visit her site! her sales still going pretty well :)

Maybe is her own loyal customer who love the way she present her stuff?? like Pumpkin??

For buyers, dont be too calculative or "kiasu" la right? if is like RM1 to RM8 difference, what so big deal about it? services are still provided right? Plus if one is for COD, another one is using postage, doesnt it the same already?

*Cases is for those COD VS POSTAGE la i mean*

but u know sometimes COD also charge right? some onwers dont charge, some onwer charge, so add this n that, ur own petrol, sama eja aku fikir... =;="

Anyway, i wonder how many of these post are from blog onwer themselves who wana promote themselves selling at a lower price than others... or some might just having "jealousy" seeing the famous blogshop having good sales like rainbowmallow n the closette n etc etc!!

GOOD NEWS TIME::

I personally shop with alot of blogshop before, i dont mind paying a lil bit more RM1 - RM8 difference, max RM10 la, to have their fast respones, fast services, fast replies...

Erm... there's some blogshop i always shop with:

One babe shop, shopholics unite, tic tac toe, button my buttons, Miss lyana, honey pumpkin and velvet ribbon =)

I lurv to see how they wear and always waiting for their updates!! is like so awesome n unique =)

thats all for now, ciaozzz~

there are more but I am lazy to find :p

Just sharing something..

I love shopping, including online shopping, but I reckon that some of the online shop owner really overpriced their items.
I went Time square and Sg Wang and I saw the exactly same item selling online, guess what, the price in the shop is CHEAPER than online shop, double or triple!
A same dress selling online for Rm45-50 (may be higher price), but you can get it at RM 25 in a shop at time square!
Considering the shop owner needs to pay rent, utilities etc (obviously higher cost), this shows that some of the online shop owner is cutting throat, as they have almost nil operating cost.

below are the blogshop which I thk some of their clothes are overpriced:
Rainbowmallows, The Closette, Velvet Ribbon, Pumpkin, Clothes For Fun, Phlox Studio, Bunny Noo, Oh! popsicles, Dainty Dresser.

and one more thing, when the petrol price increased, most of the owener claim that its too costly for COD so they need to place COD charges.
but now the petrol price has gone down, so, are they going to reduce the COD charges as well? ;)

Girls love shopping, and who doesn't like to have good purchase?

So dear owners, REASONABLE price please. ;)

i was super SHOCKED when i saw that ABLINC was selling the satin tube dress for RM55 only!!!!
cos my gf bought the EXACT same dress for RM79 in NINTH HAVENS!!!!
http://www.ablinc.blogspot.com/

http://www.ninthhavens.blogspot.com/

i am very disappointed that some blogs reli enjoy cutting our throats.
there is simply NO WAY that there could be such a HUGE difference in cost price between these 2 blogs.
i will never allow my gf to buy from ninth havens ever again.
this should be a lesson to all u eshops esp RAINBOWMALLOWS, CLOSETTE n BUNNY NOO n PUMPKIN
who are all selling at ridiculous prices.
DONT BE SO GREEDY.

thank u, FASHION TRUTH.

Today my unimates and i were discussing about this issue.. I had no comment about Rainbowmallows about the services but the price is certainly a lil too costly compared to other blogs.. Some people might defend the blog owners as they might be their fren's blog or relative or watever.. But Hey! think about the buyer's side, for those who defended the blogshoppers! u guys willing to pay a same peice, same quality of top selling in 2 different blogs at different prices? If a buyer willing to buy at higher price juz go ahead.. u might be crazy..

Im here not to criticize Rainbowmallows only but so do other blogs.. Some blogs are even getting a profit of RM30-RM50 for shoes, dresses or others... Would you as a buyer would like to purchase at the price which is double or triple of the cost price?

I practically saw /heard more things about The Closette. A fren of mine reserved 2 items from her before. They had arranged 3 times COD but was not successful.. and ya u heard me right.. FOR 3 TIMES..my fren waited for her at SS15 once and she didnt come.. my fren called her soo many times but she didnt pick up the call and my fren waited for her more than half and hour.. then later on she felt bad and willing to go to her house to pass her the 2 tops.. then she didnt turn up again.. she was waiting the whole day and she didnt turn up.. called her cannot get also.. after the third time, she recoommended by from to take postage.. my fren was so angry with the service she provide and cancelled off the reservation.. My fren says tat she could not take the risk to bank in the money 1st.. Who knows she might forget to post the item after getting the money right?

She wanted to charge my fren for COD-ing fee which she is just only studying in Subang SS15 Taylors if im not wrong. That time is not so called like the holiday time where classes are still on.. After the first time she FFK my fren, she told my fren that she will not charge COD where my fren is already waiting in SS15 to COD with her..

Moreover, her stuffs is really super expensive.. I went to MNG and saw the similar peice of spagetti top there and it cost me around RM25. When i went back i saw The Closette is selling RM25 too for the same top.. but Hey! i bought in MNG for RM25 and The Closette is selling for RM25 too.. The spagetti top that The Closette is selling might not be the real MNG top but im sure i bought it in MNG Sunway Pyramid with the same price.. And im very very sure that the cost of a spagetti top would not cost more than RM10..

I had an aunt that can get stock from direct supplier. I saw the same bag which The Closette for RM45 for the bag.. guess how much is the cost price? it is LESS than RM20.. and ya.. it is LESS than RM20.. she must be earning like RM30 for the same bag? A few customers commented that her stuff is too expensive and what she did was she blacklist all the customer that say bad stuff about her blog.. Moreover, she even took down the chatterbox when too much comment about it. And she wrote a post saying that some customers doubled order the top.. This is soo bullshit...

What do you think?
