chasing fashion

 

  
  I have to say I do never see myself as the type of gal that chase after fashion. In my mother's word, "you should learn after Karon!" My mama always think i put any kind of trash on myself and sometime even go out in pajama like clothing and walk on street. She thinks my fashion sense from living in the US for so long is not aceptable. N, she also added that "you are just lazy." Well, I actually don't have thing to say back to her because most part of what she says is true. My eye for fashion is werid in a sense because I get attracted to "cute" things rather than things that's fit for my age. But I am also proud that I seldomly go after expensive brand name stuff. To me, I rather spend my money on food over expensive cloth.
  But recently I fall in love with this "I'm not a plastic bag" from Anya Hindmarch. It is basically a enviorement compaign that AH did to try to promote economic shopping bags over plastic bag. AH is from UK and they are kind of expensive (around 500USD or up) for a normal item they carry. But this bag is a one time thing they are actually selling it at around $15 USD per bag. They claim that they are selling the bag at COS to promote envioremental friendly product. It is a one time campaign and the result was overwelming. Mainly beacuse celeberity effect. Basically the bags come out in limited edition and numbers all over the world at different date. And they are usually sold out within 2 hours since store open. I actually had people line up for me in Hong Kong when the bag came out but we weren't even close in getting a peep of the bag. There are 100s of these bags being sold 50 times the price on ebay. I could really get one if I want for expensive price or forget about it. But my mind just stuck on this bag for some reason. I just know I need one and I need to get it the normal way. So I was following the news on when and where it is being sold all over the world. Tried to find people in that country who's close enough to want to line up for me and make sure I have a back up location in case one didn't work out. I have never worked so hard chasing fashionable things...
  So the plan goes, Jul 18th, released in the tri-state area in NYC whole food stores. I convinced Soyoung to line up for me and I would buy her one bag too if she end up getting it. Then July 25th is my backup plan because it is being realsed in China. If Soyoung couldn't get it, I could line up myself in SH or have someone do it for me in BJ. But I know my chances only lies with Soyoung because I was told by the stores in China that they will only have 50 bags in SH. Knowing how cheap the labor is in China and how high the profit is to sell it online, I wouldn't be surprised that people pay 30 people to line up for them and get all the bags so they gain profits from reselling the bag right away around the corner of the original AH store. PEOPLE! GET THE POINT! Aside from the fact that this is a cute n cheap bag, the point of this is that it is enviornmental...
  N, this morning i woke up to Soyoung's wonderful news. This girl started waiting in line since 6am in the morning for those bags and she got them!!!! CRAZY! BUT WONDERFUL! She originally said to me "when does the sale start...i can prepare to kick those white people's butt hah ah ah aa. you know me. i get what i want." The girl actually kept her promise! Woohoooo!
  SO this is my little chasing fashion episode. Not too much physical hardwork but I lot of brain damage. (I think I spent too much time figurering out the "plan"). All thanks to all those that was patient enough to hear me complain about this, actually helped me line up, beat up other people in line and got the bags! Now just have to wait on my butt and wait for my baby to come in the mail. So I can draw a perfect full stop on this. Keeping my fingers crossed.
  THANK YOU SOYOUNG! YOU ARE THE BEST!
