My purchase of a pair of Gasp jeans came with this HUGE as paper bag. Not to mention, it is bright green in colour. This may be a way for the shop to make some sort of statement but heck, it is damn annoying for the buyer okk… Imagine this bag constantly tripping your friend/stranger or even yourself. And on a busy Saturday afternoon at Chadstone Shopping Centre, this bag is definitely NOT crowd friendly. Also, what about the trees? Surely a smaller bag will benefit both consumer and the environment right?

Update: My stint at the market was more successful than I imagined. I actually made a profit, but I’m most glad about being able to at least get rid of some clothes!

SUNDAY 9th NOVEMBER 2008

Take Two Market is a boutique market for pre-loved & designer women’s wear & accessories. Melbourne women have discovered a great way to shop and sell at Take Two Markets. Whether you are selling excess from your own wardrobe or looking for new treasures without spending a fortune – Take Two Markets has something for you. No trash here – just great clothing and accessories at affordable prices.

As well as Melbourne’s largest & best range of quality preloved clothing, we also have BRAND NEW accessories and women’s wear from talented local designers. These designers do not have shops and sell only through markets, so you are bound to find something not available anywhere else.

So why not come along and spend a leisurely Sunday with us at Take Two Markets. You’ll love it!

Me and Beeting will be setting up a stall this time around and here’s a sneak peak at our pre-loved items! Do come and give us some support! Muchly appreciated.

Look what came in the mail!

My beautiful vintage cigar box and Princess necklace. Hee. Both from Seam Sew Swell. The cigar box was only USD5 and the necklace USD17. I reckon they are worth it. The seller fixed a handle for the cigar box so it can be used as a purse but I don’t think I’ll be carrying it around, too fragile! The inside of the box is lovely, with an oval shaped mirror on one side and lined with a beautiful blue patterned cloth (right picture) on the other. I’m gonna keep all my necklaces in this box (which is not many so there should be enough space).

Also from the store was this black vintage polaroid camera, it was only USD17! Of course I wanted it too but it was sold already. Boo. Maybe next time, eh?

Halfway through the year, I remembered fashion magazines telling me that dark purple will be the next big thing. I wasn’t a fan of purple things so I didn’t really put much thought about it.

But since I bought a dark purple colour basic tank top from Cotton On, I have become very fond of this colour. There’s just something about it. The richness of the colour is intriguing.

And now, I have my own dark purple piece other than that basic tank top (though the colour doesn’t really show in the picture).

Yay!
