Joliefemme's Online Boutique - Clothes Sourced from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Korea

Firstly, I will like to sincerely apologise on my sudden disappearence in this blogsphere especially when I had stopped abruptly on my Hong Kong trip. I promised that I will continue my Hong Kong trip story but please give me some more time and I will blog on it real soon.

So, I do not know if anyone here knew about this but I have recently started an online boutique with my neighbour of 16 years. It was a tough decision deciding if we should start an apparel boutique at first since the competition in the cyberworld right now is so fierce. But due to my love for fashion and her 10 years of experience in the merchandising and fabrics line, we couldn't help but to decide on being part of the fashion market share.

We met many challenges such as trying to construct a .com website as we had little knowledge on that but we were glad that after much hipcups here and there,

WWW.JOLIEFEMME.COM.SG 

is born

We started sourcing our apparels from Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan for their best quality and style. We even tried contacting manufacturers to discuss on our future plans in manufacturing our Joliefemme's self manufacture pieces. YES! We are that SERIOUS this time!! Since Winnie (my neighbour) is very particular in the quantity, we made QC checks on the stocks that we are intending to bring in before procuring them to sell them to the public. Yes, alot of money are invested on these QC checks but as customers for almost 20 years, we are really anal about being uncomfortable on the pretty clothes we wear.

Readers, please do kindly support me on this little business venture of mine. You may help by

1. Visiting www.joliefemme.com.sg and purchase our awesome collection of clothes

My first GEO Lens

Seriously, I have no idea where have all my blogging sense went?

Anyway, I shall quickly blog about what I have gotten myself for this week that earned a blog entry. I bought a.....

PAIR OF GEO LENSES!

It's my very first time purchasing it and I'm really so excited to see how much it will help to increase my pupil. I have not tried it out yet cause there's 1 more lens that I'm currently using.

After hearing so much about Eyestation.com , I went down straight to one of their optical store to order a lens. Those lens which I wanted was all without a degree and I randomly chose one really stunning lens from the rest of the beautiful lenses. Since this was my first time purchasing, I have gotten a pair of monthly lens instead.

As mentioned, I have not tested them out yet but seriously, with the amount I am paying.. I'm so glad that it came with a eye lens container. Woo hoo!! I will try to blog on how my eyes turned stunning in a couple of days later. :)

Reviews about many things in fifi's life

Hi friends! I'm once again SO FREE to do a review on things that are going on in my life for the past 3 weeks! Have been rather occupied for the past few weeks that I couldnt find much time to blog! Fret not still.. cause I had snap loads of pictures while I'm accomplishing my task! :)

First on list! IT's DESSERTS that I wanna talk about! Recently, I have found a secret hide out for stress-free moment! It's a place located at Serangoon Garden area! It was the boyfriend who brought me there during one of the surprise meet-up! He told me that he had checked out the sites to find out where to bring me for a good stress-free moments.

Dessert Bowl @ Serangoon Garden Way

Contact: 62851278
Opening Hours:
Tues – Thurs: 12pm – 1030pm
Fri – Sun: 12pm – 12am

What I like about this dessert shop is its creativity! Starting from the ambience to the food to the name of the food. Here are some of my recommendation of desserts that I personally like!

Coffee Prince

Durian Mousse (BEST) - $4.00

Mango Sago with Pomelo (BEST) - $3.50

The mango sago is like HEAVEN! There are mini ice balls that goes well with the sweet pomelo! The durian mousse was very good too! It's like eating Durian Pengat! Totally sedap!

On top of the food, I love THESE from their shop too!

Any idea what they were? They are all.. 3D models that looks so real! They are displayed at the corner of the shop for your convenience of taking photos.  I really wonder how did they manage to get those miniature stools and bins! OH MY! Their signs that are hanging around the cafe had cute meanings too!

However, the downside of the cafe would be the noise level and those waitresses from China. Other than that.. it's a rather lovely place to chill. They have wonderful magazine for your own leisure too! From Cosmo to Cleo to ViVi!

Few days later, we went to...

  

just before sending me home. I was throwing a little tantrum and the boyfriend decided to cheer me up by driving me all the way... SERENE CENTRE! *oops*

To buy 2 scoops of ice-creams which taste so heavenly! I decided to forgive him with 2 big kisses after that!

After 2 months plus of complaining, we finally made it to THE CHEESECAKE CAFE with lk and his gf!

Address:

685 East Coast Road Singapore 459054

(Near Siglap Centre)

I simply love their cheesecake so much that NO OTHER CHEESECAKES in Singapore can take its place! Though all their cheesecake are sinful, it still did not deter me from gobbling down the whole slice all by my own! My favourite from there is the American Classic Cheesecake! It's just so cheesy and creamy! *loves*

Coke Float

Oreo

American

Bump into Pandora while enjoying my cakes! It was her last night in Singapore before flying off to Aus! Sigh.. how time flies aeh! We used to play mahjong at each other house almost every week and we even have heart to heart phone conversation despite the age differences! She was just like a big sis to me (ok la.. she's not really that old too lar! My friend even thought that you're one of my uni friends! Oops!) Hope you're doing great there... PANDORA!

Second: 

It was our bestie, Lionel Koh Wee Heng's birthday. Being a steamboat lover himself, he had decided to whip out some dishes for a small steamboat party. He loves decorating food and here are some of his artwork!

I don't know what he was doing! It was his invention!

Everything has lemons to it!

Friends who came! They were watching fighting spiders!

The birthday boy cum steamboat lover! *yes* he loves flaunting his 'branded' undies! Used to it!

I must really claimed that he's a very good cook. He made CHICKEN RICE for all of us and even steam a crab! Tell me how many of the guys you know actually COOKS? My bf does but not to an extend of steaming a CRAB and cooking CHICKEN RICE! I don't even touch the stove! Whatever it was, thanks Lionel Koh for the birthday invites! Hope you love that small gift we had gotten for u! :)

I had gotten the latest issue of Cleo since daddy was paying for it. I was flipping through it the other day.. and SAW this pair of really amazing heels! I happened to watch a video about the dressing sense for convocation from a fashion guru! She thought me to wear a pair of gold shoes to match my gown as GOLD symbolises VICTORY! Thus, I had been looking around for a pair of lovely gold heels for a few months till I saw THIS!!

However, the price kinda Eerks me!

Then, I decided to make a trip down to Nine west to see if the shoes fit! I was hoping that it won't fit well so that I won't have to spend money!

But to my dismay, it fit perfectly and there was only 2 pieces of size 5 in the whole SINGAPORE! It was so exclusive that I just HAVE TO GET IT! I went home (after my 2 free tickets to Step up 3 (3D) given by a kind soul) and told my shoe-lover sister about it to see what opinions would she give.

She was quite supportive!

I mean so SUPPORTIVE that she smsed me the next day...

'GO GET THE PAIR OF SHOES LA, CHARGE IT TO MY CITIBANK ACC (yea.. she sup a card for me under her acct).. THIS SHALL BE UR BDAY PRESENT!'

Therefore, I rushed to Isetan during lunch to get that 1 and only pair and I was so happy that I flaunt it to my colleagues!

I have a WONDERFUL SISTER!

*p.s: I know it is not good to buy shoes for someone.. but I will pay her a dollar to get rid of it!

On top of that pair of shoes, this little girl who is my neighbour told me something that totally brightens me the whole day...

small girl: Jie jie, I like your dress

Me (feeling sleepy yet shocked!): U really like my dress?

small girl: Ya.. I love your dress a lot!

Me: *blushed* thank you!

I'm a HAPPY girl and I'm gonna tell myself everyday that EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FINE!

Hope you have a great weekend! Loves!

Mani/Pedi at Veal International (Coverderm)

I'm here to do a short review about a Mani/Pedi Salon that I had just went! I have been really finding some time to do my nails since 2 months ago. Work is totally turning me into a turtle stucked at its own shell. All I could do most of the time is to SHOP only!

While doing my usual shopping one day, I happened to pass by Veal International at this new shopping center at Orchard Road. Their promotion totally caught my attention with the 50% for all mani/pedi services. I was a little skeptical for their unbelievable move as it is really too CHEAP for such MANI/PEDI in Singapore! $20 plus for a good theraphy of CLASSIC SPA MANI/PEDI... can u believe it?

I immediately told my bestie(lala) about the great deal since I know that she is definitely the best kahki to bring along for a good tai tai session. Made our reservation and viola.. we are all set and ready for our theraphy on a FRIDAY evening.

We rushed down right after work as we couldn't wait to have our massage done after a long day at work. The salon looks spacious and classy and their company does not only deals with mani/pedi but also imports Coverderm make up products(having 30%  off now) and  they are actually a partner with Cenosis Slimming Center! This made me even more flabbergasted with the current offer that they are having!

All their products are OPI. All the way from moisturizer to essence to nail polishes. Though they have quite a limitated array of colours but still their colours are enough to brighten up your whatever blues away.

OPI Pedi moisturizer.

Here's Lala.. enjoying her hand massage while I snap a photo of her when my hands are still free and easy. Her manicurist is an experienced makeup artist/manicurist who took great care of lala. She applied alot of essence on her nails for FREE so that lala will have great pretty nails after stepping out of the salon. How sweet and thoughtful right?

As for me, I had a young and pretty shanghai girl to do my nails. I kept admiring her tofu skin like every second of it! She told me it was Coverderm make up products that make her so pretty... I think it was her GENES that made her pretty instead!

We stayed more than 3 hours on our nails! Yes! It was the longest MANICURE/PEDICURE I had ever been to! I must admit that that was the major downside but.. I realise that it was due to their perfection and care that took the whole process so long. They even have massage foot bath for you to enjoy! I totally felt like a queen on that massage look-a-like chair.

We were so happy with their services that we took up their 10 times nails services package (consist of 5 mani and 5 pedi) at a price of only $114 nett. Where to find such good offer?

So as of now, I'm a happy girl with really pretty red nails! *love*

Interested to have a pretty set of nails? Have your reservation made fast in order to enjoy the time bomb promotion cause they might stop the promotion ANYTIME, ANYWHERE!

Have a great time!

Watson is having a MEGA sale!

Have you heard about the WATSON Gigantic super savings event? I'm sure that many girls will definitely own a WATSON member card. I'm one of them too but I realised that I hardly use the card while making any purchase. SO, I think it will be the BEST opportunity now to make use of the WATSON card. What's more, you are entitled to bring 1 friend along when you flashed your WATSON's card! OO!! Great great deal!

LALA, get your Watson card and wallets ready as we are so GONNA charge to the watson store on Wednesday when I'm meeting you to collect Jas present! :) I have got so much to get!!  Please take note that only selected areas are on for this amazing sale. :)

Ear Picker

Here's my review of a new product.

I don't know how many of the ladies would help to dig their bf's ear.. but I'm proud to say I'm one of them. It is not that he is lazy to dig his own ear but I personally feel that it is my duty as a girlfriend to keep my bf as cleaned as possible. I know that I am not alone! I have a few friends who does that as well and we will even discuss how tedious it gets when it is so dark inside. HAHAHA!

I was g marketing one day while my bf was sleeping. I was shopping for their cosmetics when something caught my attention.

Any idea what this was for? YES!! A flashlight ear-picker. I bought it without any hesitation at a price of $2.90 with delivery. The item came in within days and I was amazed how this thing actually works.
I've tested it and it was one incredible thing! The light was so bright that I can almost see every single thing in the ear. They have 3 different tools to use but I'm not so experimental to use the other equipments yet. One thing that I have to comment is that the plastic portion of the scoop is a little too hard for my bf's ear. BUT but but... it is so useful that I kept checking his ear every now and then.

It was so troublesome in the past when I had to hold a torch on one hand and a ear picker on another. He will then have to hold his ear of course!! HAHA!

Good news ladies!! I have found a cheaper seller for you! It cost only $2 + 50 cent(50 cent for delivery) for this amazing ear picker. It is actually invented for children but well... I guess it works well for adults too!! Guys are just like a baby when it comes to EAR DIGGING time.

Flashlight Ear Digger

Good Deals!!

Hi everyone! I'm here once again to BLOG! Today, I'm gonna share with you guys on this wonderful purchased of mine.

I have always been a fan of Blings Blings. I don't care if its swarovski crystals, real diamonds or even sequins.. as long as it BLINGS.. I will love it!! Back in my degree days, I have got this quite well-to-do friend who will always discuss about her blings with me. She have a Hello kitty mouse that blings, a pair of shoes that blings (the WHOLE pumps was BLING!!), Bling Agnes B keychain (she hang this keychain on a $2 Daiso bag) and her ipod was bling. We will discuss how bling our blings were and we can chat from the start of the lesson till the end!

So one day, my lovely boyfriend decided to cheer me up with a good earpiece because he wanted to get one too. Being the lovely technology boy, he only wants to purchase the best. He was choosing his earpiecewhen I came across this very cute blings earpiece you see. It looks so pretty that I just had to get my hands on it. The price tag for that lovely earpiece was $59.90 (estimated price-it was 2 yrs ago). My bf was skeptical about getting it at first cause he feels that the quality would be lousy and all but I felt that it was SO worth it for the bling-ness. We had a mini discussion with the quality stated and finally, he gave it and gotten that pair of earpiece for me.

This was the earpiece that dearest bought. It looks quite common now I feel! But it was a BIG HOO HA 2 years back. My bling friend was jealous of me then even though she had a $100+ swarowski diamond earpiece! I must admit that I was super proud of this earpiece especially when I flaunt it while playing with my lavender psp!

2 yrs later! This pretty little thing decided to DIE on me. The right side of the earpiece became softer and softer till it decided that it should just keep silence. I tried to endure with it and live with only the left side and within a months time, it decided to totally die on me. *heart pain*

I am totally *pissed* with no music during the 45 mins bus ride to work and decided that I should just get a cheap earpiece so that my heart doesn't feel so pain if it happens to die on me just like how the exp. one did. I went to my favourite site, GMARKET.COM.SG to check on the earpiece.. and THANK GOD!! They were having a major sale on earpiece during the season! Without any hesitation, I placed my orders viola... I've got a new earpiece!!

The delivery takes more than 20 days to arrive cause it was MADE IN CHINA! They had to ship over the products and everything. I was living like a zombie for 20 days in the bus. No music totally makes my day goes BlUE!

Then on one fine day, it finally arrive in my letterbox!!

TADAH!!! Chio right? They even gave me a fish bone for FREE!! The packaging was exactly the same as the expensive earpiece I had gotten at the Apple store. The sound quality( though can't really fight with the exp. ones) is good enough to please my ears and the material used was solid! Though it isn't as bling as the exp. one.. but hello... do you know how much this piece of earphone cost? It cost only...... *drum roll*

$4.60 WITH DELIVERY + GOOD PACKAGING (like in DHL package).

YES! I'm not lying! I feel that $4.60 is so worth it for that 20 days! I'm super happy that I made such a good purchased cause at least.. I don't feel sad if it happens to die on me one day! But well.. I might feel sad if the buyer decided to increase prices or halt his production! Hahaha!

Wanna get one too for yourself or your girlfriends??

Here you go!! They have many other designs too!
