Sneaks!

HAPPY TUESDAYYYY!!!!

Spent the whole day doing the things that i have been wanting to do it desperately! 

- PACK MY ROOM
- WASH CLOTHES
- SORTING OUT RECEIPTS
- DOCUMENTATION FOR TSW
- DISCARD UNUSED STUFFS

i managed to complete all! Super satisfied and now my room is so neat.

but i have yet to pack my wardrobe which i believed it will take hours to complete it.

I have so many clothes EXCLUDING my sis one and i'm thinking to open a flea and clear it all at one go! But i didn't have the time to do it :(
Should i hold a flea?
One of the main reason to hold flea is to clear my wardrobe so that i will only need to bring some clothes once i'm staying over @ my bf house from OCT onwards. haha

Speaking of which, i still can't believe i'm getting married in Oct this year.
Still not feeling excited yet and i need to start thinking for my bridesmaid dresses and send them for manufacturing! 

If you have any pretty bridesmaid inspirations or dresses, please email me k?
I don't want convertible series! haha

I just posted sneaks up on our facebook page and here's a couple of my favourites launching this coming thursday! Marked your calendar k! :D

Studded Shirt in Black / Glitter Gold Bandage Skirt (Restocked) / Braided Flap Over Bag 


My favourite blouse of all! Zara inspired one :D
Even the textured fabric is the same. Gonna keep this in both colors for myself and August also kept this in white! 




Crochet blouse that goes well with almost anything! Available in 3 colors :)


I love mustard and i kept this color! If you bought the previous version braided bucket bag, the quality is the same, made of good leather material.


I'm trying to launch more designs per collection but sometimes the shipment is not here yet and it will a weekly launch instead of bi-weekly launch.

Some of you emailed me that why there isn't any self manufactured designs ever since we moved to .com. The main reason is because i wanted to focus on the new website and ensure that everything went smoothly and i didn't have much time to discuss manufactured designs with my suppliers :(
Most of my time was spent on liaising with the technical team for website improvements and it can take hours to solve one small issue. Its really tiring to follow up this error and follow by another one.
Really glad that its now over and i can fully focus on my manufactured labels. For those who are keen, our manufactured designs will start streaming in in the month of May and some designs are back in new colors due to popular demand! :D

I have also just submitted tons of designs today as well and i really can't wait to try on the samples.
If you have any designs that you would like us to manufacture, you can email us too! 

Instagram pictures below, you can follow me @jamie1612.


Ordered POLAR water dispenser for our office! YEAH VERY HAPPY cos we can have hot/cold water in office. No need to boil myself anymore. Yes, i'm so lazy. 


With my pretty model August and i really love her current short hair. So refreshed, don't you think so? ;)

Dinner @ Sakae Sushi after 3 hours of photoshoot and we were famished by then!


In NERD TEE that day and i love such casual tees! 


Another one of my #ootd posted last week!


Have a good mid week all!



Much love,

New Launch!

Finally launched a new collection today and i'm so looking forward to it!
It has been almost two weeks since i last launched a new collection as i was away last week to HK.

Anyway, i wanted to find some time to blog about our new website here.

Changing to .com is one of my main to-do list for TSW last year and due to some unforeseen circumstances, our website can only be up this year after CNY. Glad that we have shifted to our own domain and no longer have to rely on livejournal platform anymore! :D

We have been on livejournal for approx 4 years and becos of this, i still couldn't get used to using a domain platform. haha! I'm trying my best to get used to it for the past few weeks and didn't have much time to do my personal stuff including blogging as i wanted to focus more time on the new website. For the first launch, i'm not confident that the website will not crash or bandwidth exceeded etc, hence i reminded the technical team to ensure that the bandwidth will be sufficient and sending them many reminders to make it a smooth launch on that day. 

On the launch day itself, for the first one hour, the website was running smoothly and no bandwidth exceeded, only part is that the website is abit lagging. I was so relieved and happy! Until after one hr later, my nightmare began. Guess what, the server i'm using went malfunction and the whole website couldn't be access till 11.30pm. I'm extremely panic like mad and calling the technical team to find out what happened. The server company i'm using is Vodien (One of the largest hosting company) and they claimed that i'm one of the thousands customers who is experiencing a server malfunction for the first time and they have never encounter such incident before. Other than that, all transactions that happened for the first one hour was gone and couldn't be retrieved back. Can you imagine how furious and lost i was at that moment? I'm so stressed and i dunno what i should do. 

Thanks god i have records for those paid transactions but a couple of steps have to be done to retrieve the full information giving me alot of hassle and wasting my time :(

And so Vodien replaced a new server for me and optimised it for me as well and ensure that such incident won't arise again and i hope it won't and NEVER happen to me again. PLEASE!!

So that's how unfortunate of me to experience this on the first launch.

Today is like my 4th launch and i'm glad it went pretty smoothly and i'm so relieved!
Changing to a .com means no invoicing is needed and it saves me so much time and there's no need to do collaging of photos for every design before every launch.

Simply just upload the photos and key in the description and i'm done! YEAH!!

Ohhhh, if you still have yet to sign up an account with us, pls do so cos we have implemented a reward system program especially for regular customers like you to accumulated the points and redeem shopping vouchers from us! :)

Hope you like our new website and please feel free to email us for any improvements that we should do or any problems that you have encounter ! We will be glad to hear from you and change it!

Last day of the week and its a brand new week again!
Time really flies and its end of April now. 

Spent my Saturday @ My Dream Wedding choosing our pre-wedding shoot photos and guess what, we took 4 whole hours to choose the photos. hahaha

Total there's 182 photos and we reduce it to 108 photos and reject those cannot make it photos.
Our package consists of 40 poses so we still have to reject more photos but some of the photos are really nicely taken and we couldn't bring ourselves to reject it. After viewing the photos for many times, we reduce it to 80 plus and the max 68 photos. 

The staff there really know how to encourage us to purchase more photos and i'm trying my best to bargain for the best price that they can give for additional 28 photos. In the end, after much negotiation, we need to top up approx $2k plus for additional 28 photos. DAMN HEARTPAIN! :(

So its like our pre-wedding shoot cost approx $8K?
I think i'm crazyyyyy

I tell myself that its worth it since its once in a lifetime and we travel all the way to Hk to shoot and i won't regret it. Now i can't wait to see the whole album !

Headed down to my bf's relative place for baby shower after that! :D

Baby Caias, such a unique name!
Welcome to the worlddddd

With the cheerful Mika ;)




I bought a new set of Macbook pro recently and thanks to Jerrold and his friend helping me to install photoshop and microsoft office ! 

Thank you for reading my lengthy entry. Have a great week ahead :)


Much love,
Jamie

Back!

I'm finally back updating this space!

I was in hongkong from 6th to 13th April for my pre-wedding shoot and i didn't expect the shoot was so fun! Mainly is due to the superb good weather that didn't make me perspire at all for the whole day. I love this kind of weather and it brightens up my mood instantly! :)

Will be choosing the photos this coming sat and i SERIOUSLY can't wait to see how the photos turn out to be. I REALLY HOPE its decently taken. haha!

Gonna choose 40 poses out of all the pictures and i'm crossing my fingers that i won't spend additional money to purchase additional poses. 

Spent almost a week in HK and its really boring especially when you didn't travel out of HK.
So, most of the days we are in HK and another day in Macau.
I really wanted to visit shenzhen or zhu hai but my bf's parents who are travelling with us didn't want to go as they think that its pretty dangerous to head over there :((

Is that so? 

Will blog about my hk trip soon!

Much love,
Jamie
