Scoured Far East Plaza today for birthday gifts. Chanced upon this quaint little shop at the corner on the top level. Its called L square(L to the power of 2) It is owned by this really young girl who's from China, whom I think might just be a little teeny weeny bit older than I am. I was apalled when she said that she was the lady boss, when I asked her. I couldn't believe my ears. Her shop is rather new but business seemed to be good. the key word here is 'seemed.'haha.What she sells are really unique pieces and might I say, even timeless. They might not be 'classic' pieces that can be compared to the Prada(s) and the Gucci(s) but they do fetch sky high prices. Not that I'm grumbling about the money spent. But I do appreciate one off pieces that you can wear day-in and day-out without being caught with another person wearing exactly the same piece. That would be too embarassing.

As I walked away after my purchase, I suddenly am reminded of my love for fashion. I love clothes, I love shopping, and I definitely love dressing up and making up.(This doesn't make me a Bimbo ok...) I like the feeling of being transformed when I step out of the house all pretty. Setting up a shop like that is no mean feat. First comes the exhorbitant amount of capital that I expect one would need. Then comes the cost of sourcing for clothes that are unique and aren't mass produced. I've thought of collaborations with local designers, as well as visiting countries other than hongkong japan and korea. But these ideas seem rather costly.

For now, I shall sleep on these thoughts swimming around my head. Perhaps when the time is ripe, and when I've finally earned enough, I might really go into retail and see what comes out of it. Even if things might not work out, I can always console myself with my ACCA cert which I hope I'll obtain eventually.
