Adv : Efevshop (Baby Crochet Items and Pacifier Clips)

One of the perks with having a baby is that you have a life doll that you can dress up!

Take a look at this photo and tell me it didn't melt you?

This set is so cute! If my next kid is a girl I think I would want to get this!

Baby boots! Totally adorable!

These Hats and Beanies are so cyoot!

They are great for shielding our little one's head from all those cold aircon in bus/malls/clinc!

The deal about handmade items is that you usually get to customise it according to your preference!

Like the colour/type of yarn used!

I love pastel colours!

Many people says there isn't much accessories for kids, actually there are!

You can get headbands/hats/beanies for them and if they take pacifier you can get them Pacifier Clips with these really pretty Straps!

Crochet items are quite rare in my opinion cause you seldom find them in shops, even if you manage to find them the designs available are really few! Most shops only carry like 1 or 2 designs and sometimes the colours or design doesn't really please us.

If you're looking for a full month baby gift set, or maybe some pacifier clips as little gifts, or even a cute little crochet dress/romper/blanket for your little one (super cute to wear for baby photoshoot!), do check out www.facebook.com/efevshop/ ! :)

Affordable Bow Ties for Party / Wedding / Dinner and Dance / Photoshoot

Need a bow tie for a event?

Need to get affordable bow ties in bulk for a photo-shoot or party?

 

Bow ties from departmental stores easily starts from about S$9.90 / piece, premium ones are easily S$20 / piece !!!

 

S$9.90 for a 1 day event is really not worth it in my opinion. Especially if you're a student or just started working.

 

Currently there's a sale on Qoo10, for only S$1.50 you can get 1 bow tie delivered to your mailbox by local normal post!

 

If you need more bow ties, the seller also offers attractive prices for bulk purchase / self collection of bow ties.

I know it's the EOY (End Of Year) Exam Period..

Everyone is feeling oh so stress...
And anyone can do with a bit of retail therapy.

This week there are 2 new collections at thedressupstore! :)



Collection 15 : Ten Rings [Simple.Vintage.Blings]
Price starts from SGD3.00 to SGD5.50 only!

Personal favourite: Vintage Round Rings (C15-001 / C15-002 / C15-003)! Totally match vintage looking bags/clothes! Now you don't have to think of what to pair with that pretty flowery skirt you've bought. :)

Best value for money: Bling Rings! Especially the Bling Smiley Face Ring (C15-008 / C15-009)! Some blogshops are selling similar design at 3-5 times the price I'm selling at! Note that the design is slightly different from C4-005 & C4-006 (which is currently sold out at thedressupstore!)



Collection 14 : Mini Priced Necklaces
Price starts from SGD3.00 to SGD4.00 only!

Personal favourite: Mini Heart Necklaces (C14-001 / C14-002 / C14-003)! 3 different colours to choose from so it's easy to match any outfit. Best of all, if you change it everyday your friends might think that your necklace actually changes colour on it's own. :p

Best value for money: Mix & Match Necklace Set (C14-008). Where else can you get 1 Long + 1 Short necklace & a few mini pendants at only $4??? Some places a pendant already cost more than $4! Plus, there are so many ways you can wear this necklace. You can wear the short one, or long one, or even wear both necklaces together! :)

Super Sales + 2 New collections!

Advertorial: THEDRESSUPSTORE

Recently updated The Dress Up Store with 2 new Collections, and put together a under $10 Super Sales post! Details of Super Sales at end of this post.

I really like these 2 new collections and I hope you'll like them too.


Collection 12 : Dresses for your Beautiful Hair
Price starts from SGD1.00 to SGD5.50 only!

Personal favourite: A tie between the Elastic Telephone Coil Hair Tie (C12-001) and the Big Black Bow / Ribbon Hair Clip (C12-006).
Kept one of the big bow hairclip and 2 coil hairties for my own use, the coil hairtie is better than those normal cloth/cotton material hairtie as it doesn't stink if it accidentally gets wet.

Best value for money: Mini Crown Hair Accessory (C12-002), because I checked out a quite famous accessories shop and they are selling at SGD8.90 and thedressupstore is selling at only SGD6.00 (including normal postage)!




Collection 13: Six Dollars Shades
All items at SGD6.00 only!

Personal favourite: Red Hearts Shape Shades (C13-003)
I have one and I love it so much that I'm considering buying another one so that if I ever spoilt it I will have a spare. :p

Best value for money: All.
You don't always see brand new shades selling at only SGD6.00 each right?? :)


Next, Super Sales Post.


Super Sales post consist of items from Collection 1-8.
Price starts from SGD1.60 to SGD10.00 only!

Personal favourite: Too many to mention.
Out of these 38 items I personally kept at least 10 of them for my own. :p

Best value for money: Not sure but White Star Ring (C4-010) is the most popular one. Before I brought in these babies, I bought my own ring from another blogshop for double the amount that I'm selling at. -.-

Discount up to SGD2.00 off per item!
I'm hoping to clear these, so expect more discounts if you purchase more. :)

3 new collections! (Limited stocks)

Advertorial : The Dressup Store

Since my previous advertorial for thedressupstore,
They've updated their blogshop with 3 new collections!!

Do note that all items have very limited stocks (2-3 pieces each design) and all are brand new, instocks.


Metal Bangles..



Rings..



And Pearl Bracelets..


Owner of the blogshops believe in honesty and wish to state that.
All items are Korean style inspired and not from Korea.

There are many blogshop owners who label their pre-order items or even instock items as "Korean accessories", they even use pictures taken from their suppliers who takes them from Korean websites. When customers receive their items, the quality is different from what it looks like in the pictures. If you do not want to be disappointed, do ask for actual photos. :)

At thedressupstore, all photos of products are taken by the owner using her digital camera. So you will get what you see. :)

New Accessories Blogshop!

Advertorial : The Dressup Store

The Dressup Store officially launched on 1st June 2009 with 2 mini collections. The owner is a 21 year old "Auntie" who loves shopping a lot!

Through the years, the owner has brought thousands of things online and collected a whole bunch of bad online shopping experience. With this experience, she decide to open a blogshop which she hopes to create a better shopping experience for her customers.


These are some of the things she is trying to achieve.



1. No long waiting time.
Many of the blogshop does not bring in stock and thus when she see something she likes, she has to join online sprees and pre-orders. All sprees and pre-orders comes with the hateful long waiting time. Even the shortest time taken is 2 weeks and the longest took more than 2 months. -.-

Therefore the owner decides to order limited number of items and bring them in to sell instead. So, all items in her blogshop are instock!




2. Photos of real item.
Ever bought an item online and when you receive it, it doesn't look like the item you saw on the photo in the blogshop? Most blogshop owners does not have the stock or are too lazy to take photos of the actual item. They simply put whatever photos they can find online or from their suppliers.

All photos of items are taken by the owner using her Sony digital camera which is slightly better compared to those poor quality photos taken by handphone camera. At The Dressup Store, what you see is what you get!


3. Simple Blog Layout.
Ever been to a super confusing blogshop or blogshop that takes forever to load or has loud music that scares you while you're blogshop hopping? The owner does not believe in forcing her favourite type of music on her customers. She also believes that the time taken to create a "perfect" layout could be better spent on sourcing for more stocks to bring in.

If you're looking for blogshops that blasts loud music or one that takes 20mins to load, I'm sad to inform you, The Dressup Store is not the blogshop that you're looking for.




4. Save more on shipping.
Many blogshops in order to make it simple for themselves, they would state the "item + shipping" price, for example (item price 19 + shipping price 1, they would state..) SGD20 mailed. So, when you purchase more than 1 item from their blogshop you have indirectly paid more for shipping.

Case scenario: The normal shipping for 1 item is $1.00 and the normal shipping rate to send out 3 items together is $1.50. You would be indirectly paying $3.00 for normal shipping instead of $1.50!

At The Dressup Store, shipping and handling fee is separated from the item price. When you purchase more than 1 item, the owner will recalculate the postage fee for you.


5. Low Additional Cost (Labour)
Some blogshops are maintained by more than 1 person thus they have to markup their item selling price more, in order to make enough from each sale to benefit everyone. This is also known as "Labour cost". The Dressup Store is owned and maintained by the one and only owner.


6. Low Additional Cost (Other Additional)
Other additional cost comes from special web designing, model's fee for modelling their items and photography fee. Imagine you have to pay more just to see people with good figures or a pretty face to wear items you don't know if it looks good on you.


7. No Additional Cost (Advertising)
The are blogshops that spend quite a bit on advertising and advertorials, where do you think their budget for advertising come from? If you think it's from their own pockets.. think again.. ;)

Well, before you start asking isn't this an advertorial?
Yes, this is an advertorial, but it's complimentary!

Because..
The owner of The Dressup Store is myself, Chicky.
Hahas. Well, hope you guys and girls take sometime out to check out The Dressup Store and Chicky's Cannla Auctions.



Please do not copy and paste any part of my advertorial and claim that it's yours, I spend more than 8 hours compiling ideas, organising, typing, taking photos, editing the photos, uploading them and re-organise everything so that it looks good.
Thank you very much! :)

uglyfatchick's readers get 50% discount!

Advertorial : Frinky's Sprees

I've been waiting for ages..
Yes, my first advertorial but this one is somewhat complementary for a friend.
You as a reader can gain from this!
So, read all the way to the end ok? :)



It's no secret that Shopping is my soft addiction.
I love to shop.
I love to find the best deal.
I love to buy pretty things..

And I love to participate in online sprees because I can buy pretty things at the comfort of my home + the fact that some items are cheaper than what's being sold in stores!

My regular spree handler increased her handling rates from $1 to $1.50 and I felt it's a bit too much for me to bare, therefore I stopped purchasing stuffs through her..


Then my hands got itchy. I needed my shopping spree addiction fix.
Together with ShaXiaoMei, we joined a pre-order for some rings and brooch from an online seller. Since 31 March till now, I've yet to get my stuffs!

I got a little unhappy so I decide to look for a good spree handler.
And that's how I decide to try my friend's service.

Sharon is my secondary school classmate and she owns Frinky's Sprees.
She has this on-going taobao spree which is damn cool.


Some pretty stuffs I just collected.


7 Reasons why you should spree with Frinky's Sprees.
http://frinkyspree.blogspot.com

One:
3 sprees are opened per month and each spree is open for only 10 days!
Which means you no longer have to wait FOREVER for a spree to close.

Two:
Even though she wrote that orders may take up to 4 weeks, I got my items in 2 weeks!
My previous regular spree handler takes more than 4 weeks!

Three:
Shipping charges are quite transparent, thus you can trust that she wouldn't anyhow charge you.
My previous spree handler collects $3 per item from us first, and even though she always say that she will give us the change back if it cost lesser, I never got any back from her and even have to pay extra sometimes..

Four:
Agent fee is only 11%! I've seen handlers charging 15% of total purchase!

Five:
Collection is at Tiong Bahru Taxi Stand.
Most handlers stay either all the way to the East of Singapore or all the way to the west of Singapore, so inconvenient loh. Tiong Bahru is located nearer to central and no matter where you stay, it's not too far away. :)

Six:
Handling fee is only $1.00 per item! As my reader, you would be able to get a super hot deal.
From now till end of June 2009, when you email her your order form, state that you are uglyfatchick's reader and you'll only pay $0.50 per item!

Seven: Save money by not paying those "extra middleman" aka blogshop owners..


I got these beautiful beautiful babies for half the price what some blogshops are selling at!!!


Remember, if you want to save more money, do quote that you're uglyfatchick's reader to get a 50% discount off handling fee! ;)
Till end of June 2009 only!!
