Rain rain go away


Valentines Day week was surely a cloudy one,
However despite the weather,
we had plenty of customers
coming in and out on the saturday
buying special pieces
We always assume we could guess the personality
to garments,
With this lovely customer here i somehow thought she was
a hairdresser.
1. She has amazing hair
2. She picked out clothes with colour & special details to it.
It turned out she 's an engineer,
how cool is that?
Thats the beauty of Melbourne,
Everyone is an individual

A boost of love







Still back on the subject of L.O.V.E,
Spent the day thinking of ways to
express this notion through our fashion display.
Im glad i bought the beautiful paper that
brought out our pieces well
&
how good does the carnation look ???
Its amazing what flowers can simply do when you add it on to your display.
I would love to go crazy with the window one day & fill it up with flowers so Memoirs would look
like its in the middle of a spring bloom. Ill wait till Vanessa comes , as she's always so great at making our windows come alive.
Will post a final shot of our window , sometime tonight!! Been a lovely saturday so far :)

Hot Sunday!


The recipe to a good shopping trip
1. Lovely customers that smile & converse
2. Willing to try on any style & colour
3. Making the most out of the changing room scene
4. Exchanging styles among each other
I found that the perfect recipe with these two beautiful ladies who made my day
on the warm sunny afternoon.
I guess we must not forget that shopping with a good gal friend
is an essential need to complete your final decision.
She's there to tell you what suits you best,
She's there to share your passion
&
she's there to remind you what you have in your wardrobe.
Sometimes completely necessary otherwise it's just a MUST!
I miss those moments,
Hope to revive it soon again once i get a chance!
Vanessa and I had that memory with our
shopping escapade down in LA.
Another trip with our additional shopping partner Ed,
Boy we queued & did the crazy
Thanks giving sale !!
We started at 12 am & pumped it over till 7am!!!
Felt like a night out .
So here , we are ladies
The recipe to a shopping success
ps: Both gals got such special pieces!!
Nurita Hariths bat wing top & the Bebe maxi
They are the only pieces in Australia

Tennis and Rackets






Australian Tennis Open has arrived!!!
Here we get a chance to see a spectacle of colours
filling out those pleated skirts.
I remember a time when i was very fixated with a tennis skirt. I was 6, and all i remember was i came into a possession of a blue and white stripe lacoste skirt. Boy, was i excited. Sadly the skirt could not fill my tiny waist. So i waited & kept the skirt till i was in my teens. By then, i didn't even get a chance to wear it. All the years caught up & the skirt remained a treasure trove in my closet. The funny part is i never played tennis which could explained why the skirt didn't get used.
Well, i may not be a tennis buff but through the ages.
The tennis attire has certainly evolved.
Its shorter , more colourful
&
have some dynamics in it so world
renowned tennis players
flaunt & play in them.
Especially the William sisters.
It will be exciting to see what 2010's tennis fashion
brings us.
Stay tuned to your tellys,
Otherwise in your breaks , head down to
Memoirs
for a Sale especially for this exciting event!

Our new Colours for the New Year!!!!




Happy New Year !! 2010, here we come.
With more great pieces in store
for our customers & more new
customers to meet.
Memoirs resolution is to do a little tidying up for the new year,
which we did in a space of a couple of days.
We are also not too far before we would reach
our one year celebration in March!
2010, is certainly not all about changes.
Instead its about revamping 'us' to project a whole
new vibe when you shop with us.
Vanessa and I, both picked some rich
berry colours to paint a story on the front facade.
Results! absolutely satisfying :)
So now, no more will we hear that people cant find us.
Till then, keep hydrated & dont forget your sunblock
for the hot hot rays that
is hitting Melbourne this Summer

Dress to Wed in Malaysia














What are the rules to dressing to a wedding???
As, i took a few weeks off to return home. oh home, sweet home!
I forgotten the fun of dressing up for weddings.
Certainly, they are no rules at all for the occasion except dressing to the nines off course.
It was lovely to see colours!!! ranging from the rainbow, whether it was a woman or man. Everyone fell into the routine of looking good. I love tradition & i love that we can all embrace that in a wedding. It was great to be a part of my childhood friends wedding team, the citations/connection as the bride and groom become a unity, their marriage vows were spoken in a musical trance. Her beautiful beaded gown , catching stares from us all. She looked amazing, as every bride should look amazing!!
So, perhaps there are no rules to a wedding. I know for sure, it doesn't matter the culture/place. We all have the opportunity to be a part of it in the way we express ourselves on the day.
I cant wait to be there for all the wedding bells that seem to ring for the year 2010.
