FAIRE BELLE WAREHOUSE SALE! =)

I think I am the last among the four blogshops involved to announce this.. 
but if you have been checking out our Facebook page, you would have seen that we will be having a warehouse sale with the lovely peeps from 
FASH MOB, THE DESIGN CLOSETS & TWISTPOLKA !


its going to be held at my new office and hence its a great chance for a warehouse sale.

in fact I just spent half a day sorting and tagging clothes for this event.

And because we are getting you girls to come down for this event; 
EVERYTHING is going at really super low pricing.

Like I will feel paiseh if I ask you all to come down 
but if there are no great bargains is super lao kui and embarrassing 
and I dont know how to face you all in the future lol.

so I have marked everything down to way below costs prices!

so you all must come!

I spent few hours tagging like few hundred pieces of clothings with the $10 price tag.

and majority of them are $10.. the rest are like $5 and $15.. 

all very budget frenly ^ ^

so yes please drop by for this event.

I am sure you will find something you will like since there are like 4 blogshops involved.

And for myself, I will be putting up lotsa accessories like necklaces / bangles / headwear / belts and shoes!!




just some sneaks of the accessories sections that will be up. 

Everything will be $10 and below.

and belts! when I was packing my old office, 
i probably found like 100 pcs of belt hidden everywhere inside..
 everytime we have customers asking us if this belt or that belt shown in our pictures, 
where are they from etc..
so this is your chance!! 
belts should be going $5 and below, or maybe even 2 for $5??

shoes as well.
omg because I really LOVE to buy shoes; 
i accumulated like probably also like near to 50-80 pairs in office??

I think the shoes need new owners because I think Acelyn (my new office partner from CL)

will probably cringe at the mountains of shoes in the office




so some sneaks of what will be up! 

majority of what is shown above should be up for sale as well.

all of them are lightly worn as they are used only for shoots. 
some are even new!

and oh yes if you are in need of boots for your year end holidays; 
these are for sale too cos I kinda of overbuy from urbanog :/
also (almost) brand new! only used once for shoot!




(dug out this super chio photo I took of Anna last year! we both miss japan alot sia!)



for some of the clothing that will be available during the sale

we have uploaded it on Facebook here!

lets take it that you girls are coming for a mini flea?

its a win win situation for us!

We really need to clear and you can get things at incredible pricing (ideal for xmas prezzies as well!)

when I was looking at FASH MOB tagging their items in our office,

even I was very tempted to get some stuffs for myself!

Actually, I am very nervous about this upcoming event because we are unsure how the turnout will be like.

and its like the first "official" event that I will be meeting you girls..

so much so I am thinking of going to the salon 
to colour my hair  (which I only do when I go for holidays) before meeting you all on sat..

so pardon me if I am too shy on sat yeah? 
I am most probably either too shy or too overwhelmed or what.
but I'll try my best =)

on a random side note, we are happy to share some sneaks of our upcoming manufactured items:

Zara inspired lace mesh dress


topshop inspired crochet & lace dress!




we will be previewing them during the warehouse sale this SAT as well!
and if you would like to pre-purchase them;
we are also glad to have a special pricing of $28 for both designs
since you made the effort to come down for the event! =))

These lovelies are already stocked in at our Kissjane Bugis rack
with all the available colours and sizing as well.
so if you cant come down for the event, you can still purchase / preview it there too!

really very lovely lace detailing for these 2 upcoming label that we really love to bits!

and on a super random note! I found these vouchers in the office as well :


and I have decided to give them away during the warehouse sale.

3 special customers who come down in our Faire Belle clothings or if you buy alot from us
 will stand a chance to win this voucher!

Will pick the winner at random! =)

if you are keen to find out more sneaks of what items will be put up for sale this Sat, you can follow us on instagram @ fairebelle

I think I will be snapping more sneaks later in the day as we do the final tagging and set up!

office partner!

Dec is coming soon and its time for me to move office!
and with new office partners!
quite an exciting journey for me cos finally we can shoot in our own studios!
no more lugging up luggages and bags of shoes and accessories up horrendous stairs.
thousand cheers to that ^^


part of how the office will look like.. I have only been there twice cos currently I am still at my old office.

Last week of rental at the current place. I am taken back by how fast time flew by!

Anyway since I am on the topic of office partner; I think I would like to blog this entry on my first ever office partner...

and that is... deng deng deng deng!
Jiaqi from WS! 

I know its like there is totally no link between WS & FB right??
I think fate really brought us together lol.

Previously I have seen JQ like 1-2 years back at the old studio that we both used to go.
But it was only until I think last Dec or Jan of this year? that we really "get to know each other"

one random night at the taxi stand of city plaza, we happened to be waiting for cab together. I was in queue before her. 

and it really took like eons before a cab finally came. by then it was probably really late; like 9 plus?
so JQ took the initiative to talk to me and asked if we could share cab back.

usually under such circumstances, I will say no man cos I dont like to talk to strangers; and apparently its not on the way actually. 
she was heading somewhere towards like near bugis and I stay in the further East side.

but somehow or rather I agreed ( I think thats fate ya). and so we shared the cab journey home and it was really really awkward. HAHAHA

like we told each other oh actually I have seen you before at Candle before blah blah. or like I have heard things about you from Rach (who is our common supplier + fren btw)

so after dropping her home and the cab made a U-Turn back to the east; I actually got car sick on the way home. and both of us texted Rach after we reached home; and we were both telling her how we will not usually talk to strangers but we talked to each other and even shared cab home.

so like fast forward to 1-2 months back; Rach acted as middleman to formally introduce us and acted as the bridge to us sharing office. and so we shared office for like half a year before she moved out after her sch
re-started in Aug.

The thing about JQ and I is that, I feel that we are always suay when we are together. Lol
and I think its pretty amusing.

Like there was once, when we stayed til pretty late in the night and we decided to just head over to Swee Choon for supper cos its like the only place that we remember its "forever open".

but we were so "lucky" that night. they just had to be close for JUST THAT tuesday night for a day.
it was like so -_- cos we were both really craving for swee choon.

on another occassion, we finished dinner with Rach in town and waited to cab home.
it was 11plus by the time we waited at the isetan shaw buidling. 
we were like 2nd/3rd in queue but the taxi took forever to come; at that point in time, it was nearing midnight so we were thinking "ok maybe all the cabs are hiding and waiting for midnight surcharge then come out".

so we continued waiting; soon it was past midnight but still there was no cab.
by then we waited for like close to 20-40 mins?
then the security guard of that place came over to us and said the road is now close so no cab is coming in.

we were like !!!! What the!!
so we moved to another place to try to get a cab so that we can get to Teo Heng to sing ktv cos like we went before and it closed like 3/4am then. but then still there was no cab so we thought "ok lets take bus out of orchard to another place; maybe its easier to get a cab"

and so we did; but at that place there was like no cab at all again.
the entire night we just kept waiting and waiting to no avail.
thinking how suay we were, I thought maybe we should call teo heng to double check what time they close.

alas we were really how very suay. apparently they changed their closing time to 1am and after all these waiting; we cant head over to teo heng. like really how suay rite??

in the end we finally managed to get on a cab but we headed back to CINE for kbox.
Then when we thought everything is finally getting alright, when we were alighting the cab,
when JQ tried to open the cab door; her hands almost touched a cockroach that was at the car handle!!

luckily I spotted the cockroach if not really fhl right!!

these are just 2 of the most memorable suay things that happened to us together... lol
but of course we shared quite some fun times together in the office although we seldom meet each other inside honestly..

ok after such wordy post, heres a picture of JQ and me!



after we are done with our hair appointment at salon vim some time back in end Aug...
we were really happy with our hair , and how we get to see ourselves in curled hair hence the big smiles.. lol

apparently JQ really likes their hair service I think cos she just asked me to like go do our hair together next week..
although we dont message each other on a regular basis, but its always a very heart warming feeling whenever I think of her...

This is us randomly taking a night scroll at ECP after our dinner...
Like how romantic right?? LOLLLLLLLLL


Anyway since this topic involved a little bit of WS, I just wanted to share with you another small snippets.

few months back, a girl emailed me to apply to be model for NLS and she stated in her email that she has modelled for a few shops like TE/CWC/ blah blah and most importantly she mentioned WS..

then so I knew immediately something wasnt quite right because JQ and I are always like discussing model issues and I have never heard JQ mentioned her name before...

and so I asked her to send in pictures of herself. This girl did but it was like some personal pictures or what I cant remember. and so I replied her "pls kindly send in pictures of yourself from WS shoots since we are of similar style and I want to see if you'll suit the style"

Alas she did but it was totally not WS style at all. one glance and I knew its totally not WS at all cos there is something unique in the way JQ styles her models and how her pics are taken. I have been to a shoot with her with Tricia before so I know how different her pictures are.

So the morale of the story is; actually some blogshop owners are kinda linked to each other. so its best not to lie and claim that you shot for who who who before cos at the end of the day we can check =)

If you need to know, in case anyone wants to apply to be model for FB / NLS.. please kindly note that the following shops' owners are my good friends ya :

WS,STRUTTT,FM ,CL, TP & BG =)

with that, may I just include that I am really happy this year that I got to know alot more fellow comrades of the same industry.. hahaha

Thank god for their companionship; if not I think 2012 wouldnt have passed so fast for me.


randomly, I wonder if this design is still on sale? I wanted to get it last year when I first moved into an office but because end up I didnt really like the current one so I didnt get it..

shall end this post with a random picture that I took from starbucks in tokyo..



Do we have these flavours in SG as well??
oh gosh I miss Japan and I cant wait to be back!
