Bonsoir Madame

One of my favourite shopping places, rue Madame, is celebrating its first anniversary this year. Being the loyal customer that I am, I was invited to the in-store cocktail party on May 18, 2011, at its Lee Gardens’ branch. The perfect reason to make a swing by and make use of the VIP discount on offered I thought! But of course, I would want to support this company because it’s bringing in so many fantastic Parisienne fashion brands to Hong Kong that I love, and putting them right where I need them with one shop at the ifc Mall and one shop at Lee Gardens Two. Thank you so much! And I just love to shop in the intimacy of shops like these, not only can you go through all the nice things in a flash and hit the changing room, but the fresh flowers, warm decor and friendly staffs, who are never far from a call away when you’re stuck in the changing room (that’s especially important for a friend I know), just makes everything a breeze and puts you in a good mood. The Parisienne fashion concept boutique carries a lot of the same brands as with ah-hemm… my favourite online store… such as the ones I like: Maje, Sandro, Gat Rimon and Majestic. So as a true shopaholic, I do shop around for better prices or compare the deals on offer and sometimes I just can’t wait to have a try on, you know? But when it comes to shopping, you all girls know timing is the key, or should I say it’s usually a matter of convenience or by chance. Such as this Maje Enquete two-tone denim shirt dress, pictured below, that I had my eyes on it for ages since I saw it online. I had actually saved the picture on my desktop and was so happy looking at the thumbnail everyday. I was waiting to see if I can find some other things I like to make my purchase before I saw that I had missed the free worldwide shipping offer by a day. Well, it’s one of those things. Once I know I could have got it cheaper, I don’t want to pay more, especially just so happened, I couldn’t find anything else that I wanted to buy. I thought I’ll just wait for it to be on sale, and there it was, right there at the event, first thing I saw when I walked in the shop by the glass windows. Oh, hello!… With the discount, it worked out cheaper for me to buy it right there that day. I had to take it home, but that’s not without trying out a bunch of other stuffs too. See pictures below. I love the Maje denim dress. For those of you who know me knows that I like the conveniences of one-piece dresses and anything that’s versatile or reversible. I’m thinking that I can dress this dress up with a pair of heels and a clutch for a party or dress it down with a pair of flats for a barbeque, I can throw on a jacket on top or wear it buttoned down with a tank top inside, but so far, I’ve just been wearing it around the house or when I need to make a quick run to the store. I can guarantee this is a good investment, I feel like wearing it everyday and I’m sure it will lasts a long time. If you still haven’t check out rue Madame, make a trip to it now. I’m sure you’ll find something, or maybe more. Prices are around HK$1,000 and up for apparels.
