Exciting Fashfix Updates!

I'm excited! Can you tell?

#1 Our first ever Fashfix SALE


So this is something I've been thinking about doing for a long time but I always worried that not enough people would want to join in. Nonetheless I sent out an email this morning to gauge interest and voila - over 20 sellers (including some real big ones!) have already signed on which approximately will make up for maybe half of Fashfix going on sale! HOW EXCITING! 

Its gonna be right in time for everyone to do their Christmas shopping too and we're gonna make it a FLASH SALE - we're thinking 48 hours? ^^ I am SUPER psyched!

If you want to join the sale please email me at vivien@fashfix.sg! (:


#2 Fashfix FLEA & TEA


Again, this is another of those things which I always wanted to do - a small fashion blogger flea cum tea-sharing session! It'll be some time late January (before Chinese New Year) - shop fashion blogger's closets as well as join in on the sharing session. Topics yet to be confirmed but probably 2 discussions - one on being a fashion blogger, the second on the Singapore fashion scene. Definitely relevant which will hopefully be interesting and insightful.

I've already found a couple really excellent fashion bloggers to agree to do the event and have just met the venue owner so we're definitely getting the most awesome and coolest space in Singapore (;


#3 Fashfix SWAPnotshop


We're hoping for the next event to be JUST before Chinese New Year. Still scouting for the perfect location - somewhere near a train station (so people don't have to lug clothes too far!) and preferably a restaurant which will give us the space for free in return for a minimum spend? Is that asking too much?

Leave a comment if you have any suggestions!

A sequence of events & lessons learnt

It started off slowly enough - just 1 rack of clothes which mushroomed into two racks. What caught peoples' attention most - the sign boldly proclaiming that all these clothes were just $1 


ta daaa - our first browsers! There was seriously some damn good stuff there!


our little booth with tons of guys dropping by to check out the most fashionable NYP girls (;


thank goodness for our lovely boys helping to set up area - 5 racks and one table of bottoms! 

everybody loves a good deal - bargain hunting rapidly underway 

the lovely freebies we gave (thanks to fashpilgrim for the photo!) 

Happy customer! Check out the stack of clothes Jia Min is helping her pack 

 Last day - time to pack up in thundery rains



#1 ALWAYS CARRY YOUR IKEA KEY

Leaning tower of clothes racks anyone? Even properly set up racks have a tendency to crumble once you put a certain amount of clothes on them - so make sure you have your ikea key handy to fix them up when they do

#2 HAVE BOYS AROUND - PREFERABLY CUTE ONES

Ahh - this is a real gem of a tip from Amin (formerly working at New Urban Male) and proven by the fact that last day sales with an all girl team was significantly poorer than previous days with all boy teams!

Girls flock to cute guys - Abercrombie anyone? Club rules apply - good lookers attract more good lookers and more crowds. Its not pretty to say it but I guess its true.

#3 THAT SAID, NEVER HAVE BOYS DO QUALITY CHECK FOR CLOTHES

Perhaps I'm too harsh but club rules apply for clothes too - good looking clothes attract more good looking clothes. In typical fashion style, you're only as good as your last show - in this case, your last swap.

If your last swap had crummy clothes or people didn't feel they got a good deal, fat chance of them showing up for the next one.

Many thanks to CLEO, Majolica Majorca, Chapter 2 and NYP MSC Studio for supporting this event


Post largest-Fashfix-swap ever

 pretty much sums up how I feel at the end of a week-long clothes swap at NYP

After a grueling week of 7am wake ups, standing and packing till 6pm and sleeping at 2am, I pretty much spent the weekend hibernating in my room. It was all worth it though - just seeing all the great clothes the girls brought down as well as the amazing stuff we donated to charity - YAY! (: 

Plus a huge thank you to: Yumei from StyleOnCampus , Miss Poo and Mis Khoo from NYP MSC, the girls and guys from MSC who were just super sweet and helpful, my amazing friends who came down to help me out - Qiuyu, Amin, Gwen, Sin Ning of Snappyfit and Ruth, the 6 amazing Catholic High boys doing their school attachment, the 2 Montford boys as well as everybody who participated in the swap whether it was by taking that free Cleo magazine, bringing your clothes down, oogling at the board with the most fashionable NYPian girls or what not

WHEW! (fingers crossed I didn't miss anybody out!)

Now, BACK TO WORK

(psst - full post event thoughts in my next post!)

This is me before a clothes swap

I tend to have major freak out moments before these SWAPnotshop events. Will anybody show up? Will there be good clothes on hand? What if nobody shows up? Its gonna be a massive failure! Clothes swaps are probably the most scary events ever because it really depends so heavily on people participating and really, you NEVER know. Plus the fact that I'm a pretty high strung person means my stress levels are higher than those crazy Lady Gaga heels. 

Fortunately for me, I usually have an entourage of people around me telling me this. 


Thank god for support systems. 

How I feel after someone agrees to sponsor my event

ooh yeah baby (: 


Just found another sponsor for our upcoming pop-up SWAPnotshop. YAY! Thanks to a walk-in wardrobe full of help from my good friend and former event-planner Qiuyu, it seems like the entire pop-up is going to be our best one yet - we're going to have freebies like magazines, hair salon vouchers, beauty workshop passes, balloons, contests and a photographer! How exciting is that? I'm meeting our secret venue host tomorrow to work out some final details - fingers crossed that the meeting goes well!
