Earlier today, sweetie expressed -"its a good thing you do not ask me to accompany you when you go shopping". I asked him why he asked and if he wanted to go (because I would ask him if he wanted). He shook is head, grimaced and said - absolutely NOT.

What is it with men and their aversion to their girlfriend's or wives' shopping time? Have you ever heard the urban legend that says to never go shopping with your boyfriend if you do not want to break up?  Well I must admit, that is really not an urban legend but one of the soundest advice you could ever take to heart. In my entire lifetime, I have only met one guy (an ex-bf) who sincerely wanted to come shopping with me. In fact, he loved to go shopping so much, I was the one who often gave up and got frustrated. Hmm.. does it smell too much like metro sexual to you?

I am now a certified fan of multiply fashion stores. Its reminiscent of my stint in the states where I used to surf through store after online store looking for electronic gadgets. Now I am addicted to browsing through multiply sites looking for great fashion finds.

Let me share with you the results of my most recent shopping trip online.

I found these fabulous accessories from yesha's online multiply store - the shopaholicstore. Yesha sells several cool items like gadgets, tops, bottoms, dresses, accessories, bags, eyewear, footwear, scents, and tiffany jewelry.

I first browsed through the tons of items that the site had on sale. I was pretty impressed with all the gorgeous trinkets being offered on sale. I was also intrigued with the tiffany jewelry that was sold there. It had smooth clean edges. I was told they were sourced from Japan stores. I did not mind so long as I did not pay a high price for something that would break in a few days, so to speak.

What really turned my head around were the apple necklaces! They had red apple, pink apple, bronze, crystal and even swarovski apple. I immediately fell in love with the red apple necklace so I went and tried to reserve it. Unfortunately, it has already been sold. Tsk tsk. I had to settle for the hot pink apple necklace which to me is the next best thing.

I also ordered one of the tiffany necklaces that I have lusted after for so long. It was a bar pendant that are called drop necklaces. These necklaces are best to show off your assets. ;)

My stuff arrived the day after I completed my payment. Fast isn't it? I excitedly opened the pink bag (aahh pink) and ooohhhd over the goodies inside. My eyes feasted on all the prettiness before me. Then I noticed one extra box inside. I thought there was a mistake and they had delivered one extra item by mistake. But I was the one mistaken. The extra box was a free gift from the store. Wow! Now I really am encouraged to become a suki (a.k.a frequent buyer).

I must say that I found my one stop shop at shopaholicstore. I recommend all kikay fashionista's to visit them now.
