Apart from reviewing beauty products and my weakness for glossy magazines, I absolutely love shopping for fashion apparel and accessories – bags, shoes and all sorts of other girly knick knacks! In fact, if I had just a quarter of Paris Hilton’s fortune, I bet I’d be in and out of all the boutiques of the world, both brick and mortar and online shops! I bet all women’s the same too!
Obviously I do not have Paris’s fortune and not many of us do, but my love for fashion and all things girly is so strong that I started scouring around through contacts with my friends for cutesy, elegant and lovely apparel in efforts to expand my wardrobe without killing my budget too much. Shopping often at Review, Portmans, Zara and Mango can definitely cut through a large hole in your pocket after a while.
Whilst happily expanding my wardrobe with things I like, I began to find more and more interesting stuff and the idea to plunge into the boutique business began to form in my head. I started to look for more stuff and have now established a pretty solid set of contacts to bring my idea into fruition.
The concept of having an all-in-one e-boutique where all women could click in to shop for carefully selected apparel, lovely and handcrafted accessories and other knick knacks drew me in so strongly and excited me so much that I had to start putting my thoughts into action. I started conceptualizing my e-boutique from start to finish, i.e. branding, packaging and eventually I bought my first batch of apparel which is my launch collection.
My sister, who has also been playing around with handcrafting jewellery also started an online business at Love Me Jewellery, and we thought why not display her collection for sale at my e-boutique as well so that the whole e-boutique concept truly comes through.
I won’t go on and on about how I conceptualized my thoughts and started bringing my ideas into fruition.
Today, I am proud to announce to you the official launch of my e-boutique, Femme Habitat – an online shopping cove for women.
Right now, we have a selection of women apparel and Love Me Jewellery’s handcrafted jewellery. My next order will be coming through this week and hopefully I’d be able to showcase them by this weekend.
My aim is to bring to you a selection of elegant, chic and cute women’s fashion and accessories. I am also aiming to expand and diversify the lines I’ve got currently to include other women’s interests like bags and other knick knacks.
If I have been neglecting Indulgent Reviews for a while, its because I have been so busy and diligently working on my e-boutique, to bring to you the best of what I scoured around for and am hoping for more to come. It has been an exhilarating and exciting experience. Balancing a day job and working on my e-boutique project on weeknights and weekends hasn’t been easy, but I have to admit that it has been fun. It has certainly injected a lot of colour into my life. I now have an online fashion and accessories boutique with many, many growth plans in my head.
Okay, enough small talk about my concept story. I am now pleased to welcome you through the doors of my e-boutique, Femme Habitat!!
