NOVO Shoes

Purple is the in colour of the season.
Every fashion outlets, boutiques, displays, even their websites, are purple-black themed

Seriously I think NOVO is overrated.

Ok their shoes are kinda cute. But definitely not comfortable to wear.

Nearly 100% of the shoes are manufactured in China. I don't hold any grudge against China product. In fact I love some of them because of their high quality, like Nike. But definitely not NOVO Shoes.

The shoes are hard as rock that I think you can use it as a weapon to attack people, i.e. knock on people's head, seriously.

But Australians are so heaped about NOVO Shoes. Especially the middle class.

Heck they are the sponsor of Miss Universe Australia!

May be their boots is a different story. I think no one would make a pair of hard boots, right? If it exists, it would be the ultimate torture from the ankle to the calf, LOL.

eBay is a Godsend!

I used to think that eBay is something useless, if not evil. Partly because Malaysian eBay makes me feel so. The item is not any cheaper than the boutiques on the streets, and yet the buyers have to pay for the extra postage cost, whadda hell?!

But in ebay.com.au and ebay.com or ebay.co.uk, the authentic branded items (used or second hand or even brand new) are sold at much much cheaper price and it's still damn cheap even one takes into account of the postage, it's heaven!

Australia has a different clothing size than other countries. I had a difficult time to figure out what size do I fit in. One of the first items I bid on is a jacket from CROSSROADS, an Australian local designer brand.



Guess how much I paid for this item? A freaking AUD 5.50 !!!

The lenght and the waist fits. But I hav no idea why the shoulder is too wide for me! look at the picture, it does not seems to be broad shoulder right? Anyhow, when I accidently get this kind of problem, there are two plans:

• Plan A: Ask my friend to try the item(s) on. If they like it and it fits them, yay, I will sell the item to them. Wakaka.

• Plan B: If Plan B does not work, resell them on eBay! Isn't that simple? So far I resold 2 pairs of NOVO shoes and one black wrap dress, hehe.

I am a 'kiam siap' type of person as my friends know me. But entering the world of eBay seriously push my shopping-addiction to another level. As if the attractive fashion boutiques in the City is not enough to toxify me. Uhuk, uhuk!

I am now struggling to control my buying urge every month. Strictly limiting my buying 'power' under certain amount. T_T

Will blog more about my online and offline shopping experience, hohoho ^o^

My sinful addictions

At Yarra River, overlooking Melbourne CBD at night

Living in the one of the fashionable city in Oz, Melbourne has a profound impact on my sense of fashion. It's not only me, my friends who are fashion-conscious are head-over-heels with the fashion boutiques here and we constantly follow the fashion magazines (even their newspapers!) to catch up the latest trends of the season.

One practically way is to observe what other people are wearing at the moment, get an idea of the type of sweater, jumper, boots, scarves, hats/caps, etc that we will be looking for while shopping :)

Unlike in Malaysia, we cannot have one style wearing throughout the whole year. We basically need to ransack our closet every 3 months. And yes you can guess that our clothes are going doubling and tripling!

This blog will be dedicated for my online-impulse-shopping experiences, cute clothes, some accessories, and may be some other hobbies of mine.

Get that blog rollin' babe!
