Exclusive: Heart Attack Sale!

By Cynthia Lee (Guest Blogger)

That's right, you read it here first! There's nothing to brighten up the middle of the week like a semi-exclusive deal for YSK's beloved readers - and this time, it's 50% discount for 200 items on Ladies Fashion!

*Click HERE for direct link to the 200 items*

When I got the news from the owner of Ladies Fashion, I immediately clicked on the links to the great bargain that she is extending exclusively to the readers of YSK. Seriously, when will you be able to get a decent dress for a mere RM15 or a maxi for RM25? A new piece some more!!!

Basic dress - Was RM22, Now RM11

Floral tube dress - Was RM25, Now RM12.50

Maxi Dress - Was RM53, Now RM26.50

Cardigan - Was RM39, Now RM 19.50

Busy Printed Top - Was RM32, Now RM16

Printed maxi dress - Was RM39, Now RM19.50

Did you do the maths to the above bargain? YES!! It's a whooping 50% for an entire collection of already reasonably cheap tops and dresses and skirts and all!!

All you have to do to be entitled to the sale is to choose a minimum of 2 items, though I think most of us would have at least 4 items (because it's so cheap you can start shopping for birthday and Christmas or even Raya gift to girlfriends!) in your order and give a shout out in your e-mail:

" I AM A YSK READER 

AND SHALL GET 50% OFF MY FABULOUS SALES! "

OK, maybe that's a bit fanatic. Simply mention that you are a YSK reader and you will be entitled to the sales! =D Spread around to your friends, even if they are non-YSK readers. They can pretend to be =D

Happy Shopping!

How To Paint On Your Clothes & Charity Concert with Hannah Tan

Apart from fashion and shopping, it's always good to give back to society (by attending a charity concert, maybe!) and picking up a new hobby - fabric-painting! :D Here are 2 emails from readers that I'd like to share with you:

Email #2: How To Paint On Your Clothes
From a reader who is pursuing her dream of running an arts & crafts studio. :)

"Hi Sha-Lene,

I figured, YSK can help promote more about fabric painting! =D As it's close to fashion since i have always used fashion and fabric paitning together in my fashion shows. So the promo will be about fabric painting classes and services for those who wants to have their clothing painted by a professional. And even for those boutique owners who wants to paint a particular design on their clothes to sell it more.

Basically I am trained by a master teacher in fabric painting certified by Pebeo, France. I have done services for boutiques such as Apples and Pearls in Taman Tun, Nicleesher Fashion House SS15, Fashion Show for Aids Charity at Bukit Jalil with fashion designer Keith Kee, Fashion show at PLU Icon at The Disco. Some of my stuff were on sale long before in Wondermilk and Dragonfly Tattoo Parlour (Ikano) and Mont Kiara Flea Market.

Attached are the pictures of:
1. Fabric painting artwork
2. Some of my artwork of fashion show
3. Some of my past work of services i provided

Below is the information:
1. Studio located in Subang Jaya, number to call is 0126841136

2. Classes for now:
- Fabric Painting Basic class RM180 for 4 classes Once a week
- Fabric Painting & Fashion Surgery RM200 for 4 classes Once a week

3. Classes Coming soon:
- Advance Fabric Painting RM280 for 4 classes Once a week
- Silk painting and Tie & Dye for RM300 for 6 classes Once a week

4. All classes are 1 1/2 hours, weekdays from 8-9.30 and weekends by appointment

They learn the techniques, explore them and practice on their own at home. Materials is provided in-house, but if they want their own, they can purchase through me, selecting their own colours from a colour chart.

Services:
Services to charge is usually gauge by design, colours, and size of painting. Boutique owners who wants to paint on their clothings and resell them, there is room for negotiating cheaper if they provide me more quantity of clothing to paint.

E-mail from a reader: Random acts of kindness needed!

Hot off the inbox of Your Shopping Kaki this festive day is an e-mail from Wong Yu Jin, a final-year student from UTAR. :) She needs our help, so let's help her out!

"Hello dear!

I'm a loyal reader of YSK and for this once, I was really wishing you could help me with another bit of favour! (yes, people just can't get enough of favours..) Let me briefly introduce. My name is Yu Jin and currently I'm working on my final year project and I have some survey forms to be distributed. I'm a business info systems undergraduate, so naturally my project has something to do about e-commerce, with a criss cross with what I love most, fashion =)!

It will be a form of search engine whereby anyone can search for apparels online across multiple vendors without hassle, given the set of attributes of the clothing and type of clothing for them to search from. Wellll i was wondering if you could help me with distributing the survey forms to your readers?

Here's one for vendors Vendor's survey and another form for Online shoppers' survey. Your help is much appreciated! Should you feel interested and want to know more about my project, feel free to ask me more about it :)

Thanks and regards,

Yujin

These are really short surveys - it won't take more than a couple of minutes. :) This can be your random act of kindness for the day, yeah! :) Hit the "Submit" button at the end of each survey.

Happy Shopping!
