well then im glad youre overseas.

i dont know if youve mentioned it but where the hell are you exactly jcotteri.

[wept]

thanks for the link Tyro, some of the stuff looks really nice but i think the womens stuff shines more than the male stuff. I really like the look below as the fabric used has a sense of warmth to it.

i might show if i'm in the city that day.

one thing - 2pm sounds like a fucking odd start time?

anyone know any better?

[Tyro1]

I like the 2pm start time, it means there is no pressure to get there early

[home]

unless, of course, friends and family have been invited from 9, meaning all the good shit will well and truly be gone by 2.

call me the eternal pessimist.

[Tyro1]

nah all the family and friends went to the sale in sydney. then all the hipsters in sydney went to the sale. then some tourists went to the sale accidentally.

then the sale came to melbourne.

[marck]

if we've got sydney leftovers (..likely), nothing'll be there, cap'n.

[TTT]

hoping the CON sale will be worthwhile, will cop lame basics, denim and jewelery if it's cheap (and available )...

Not many accessories going to the sale D, and most likely no Jewellery

First day of exploring the city yesterday. Headed to few stores. CM was impressive but I didnt cop, going there to check out DD cos I was in a hurry and just flicked through. Never seen DD in person and it looked really impressive from what I saw.

Assin had some nice RO pieces, sales assistants at least had smiles on their faces when I walked in - unlike the ones at the Sydney store. LEFT was imo was average, but I was really impressed with the Zambesi store (what a huge space *cough* rent killer). Somedays only had two Cosmic Wonder pieces Heading to Eastern Market today Anyone a fan of Incu's Vanishing Elephant brand? they had a half decent basic on sale at Fat for about 80bucks.

Damn, miss out on the CON sale in Melb by a day - these sales are just not meant to be (for me) haha

[DJI]

not too worried about the jewellery, the only other piece I really want is the tarnished silver rectangular link bracelet anyway. I'll be wrapped if I can get any viscose basics in XS....

[bottega1]

anyone here is able to get discount at cm?

I would like to crop sth in there again, anyone can help?

[DJI]

a couple of weeks ago I mentioned that a customer loyalty discount scheme would be a better alternative to the multiple end of season sales. cale said they were looking into introducing a discount system, however nothing had been decided yet. looks like you're gonna have to bite the bullet and cop at full price dude, or risk missing out due to small production runs this season .

[bottega1]

yes, i would like to cop the short sleeves dual layer tee, but the price have increased like 40% compare with last season. =.=

D strikes again... the claude enabler!!!

[DJI]

haha, that's the one

it went up from last seasons double layer s/s tees because they changed fabrics. last season they used cotton/wool jersey, this season they used cotton/cashmere jersey. imo the increase in price is worth it as the material is so much softer and drapier .

[wept]

well than that would explain it.

small question: when i go to FAT in Chadstone the experience always leaves me cold, the sales assistants dont seem to care all that much and it shows, to me anyway. Is the service any better at the GPO one in the city? It couldnt be any worse than chadstones small FAT store.

[DJI]

the SAs at fat gpo are generally pretty nice, shame the stock is so bland. you would think that the SAs at chadstone would be more enthusiastic seeing as they only have like 3 customers per day haha.

[Pandemonium]

i dislike the store attendants at all the fat stores.

they hate me or something.

it's like some sort of -you must be of this height- selective treatment.

[DJI]

I got mistaken for a SA when I was at fat once, some dude started asking me for help...

[Pandemonium]

did you help the fool????

[DJI]

pft, that's not what fat SA's are supposed to do . to be fair some of the fat SA's are really nice, particularly the ones that work at the fitzroy store.

[Pandemonium]

yea i guess you're right.

i wanna do some hot SAs fuck.

[Tyro1]

Anyone going to any comedy shows? Want to see Steve coogan.

[wept]

yeah Tyro. going to see stephen K Amos. My group decided on him due to majority verdict. i cant complain...a night out's a night out.

[Pandemonium]

stephen k amos is legendary. you will enjoy that show.

i'm going to the sunday dylan moran session.
