Saturday

something worth celebrating

Last night, my friend announced that "summer is officially over" having seen it rain cats and dogs. Well, I hope she's right. I love summer but I also love the rainy season.

There's something I find very comforting about the rain. I can't really put my finger on it though - perhaps because I like the indoors more than the outdoors or that I'm just really sentimental.

shopping online

I was thinking of a suitable topic for my first post and then thought I should write about online shopping. Isn’t that just apt for a blog entitled A Girl Who Loves to Shop?

I like shopping. It used to be just the thrill of spending my own money while being attended to. But now, it’s more about finding something you like or – if you’re really lucky – something you love and getting it while being treated well. Well, what can I say? My best shopping experiences had made me feel like I’m worth a million bucks. I (would like to) believe that good customer service has become a minimum requirement in the retail industry. Anything that falls short of good customer service is just horrendous, infuriating and just downright unforgivable.

I enjoy going to shop after shop looking for something that will look pretty on me. You see, just because a dress is pretty doesn’t mean that it will look pretty on you. When I choose a dress, it’s not guaranteed that I will walk out of the shop with it because a dress also chooses its wearer. In the same way, a dress might choose me but I might not think it’s pretty. It has to be mutual – unless you have a really good tailor to alter the dress for you. But I am digressing.
