We all know how expensive the holidays can be, buying presents and preparing food, could really hurt one’s budget.  I remember the past holidays that I actually spent more than I was expecting, I went overboard with my presents that after the holidays I was flat broke.

However, this past Christmas was different, I didn’t went overboard with my presents and even saved  more money than I expected. The practical thing I did was buy presents at reasonable prices and at the same time luxurious.  For my male relatives, I bought them polo shirts that were on sale, I didn’t really think about whether the polo shirts were the latest styles or not, what’s important is I remembered them. And for my female relatives, I ordered these replica watches and replica handbags from the internet, but before I ordered multiple items, I first gave it a try. I ordered one chanel bag,  and when the parcel arrived I was so amazed at how genuine it looked, it even looked genuine that the real thing.  After seeing firsthand the quality of the replica handbags, I decided to buy multiple items. I even ordered my parents matching replica watches.   And the best thing about replicas, no one knew they were replicas.

Recently, some parts of the world experienced global financial crisis, turning most of business establishments to close.  Thousand of people have laid off, most of them are casual employees, and others are permanently employed serving their employer for quite along time.

One of them is my friend working abroad.  He was laid off by his employer due to a financial crisis suffered by the company he is working for.  But that was before, he was back now with his family setting up a small business, a bazaar to be specific.  Though, some of his products are knockoff purses items, such as replica of Louis Vuitton bags and NFL jerseys selling at the cheapest price, the quality of it are not quite far from the originals.  He has a constant supplier of those items from a country where he worked before.  He ordered it through online wholesale just to give him a big discount.  Sometimes, I am envy with my friend’s mind, though, he was laid off to his work before, he did not stop thinking solutions in making his family’s life a better one, putting up his family on top of his priority really made them to survive the effect of global recession we experienced before.

My daughter just graduated from high school with high marks, and as a congratulations gift and at the same time, preparing her for university, so, I decided to take her shopping for a whole new set of wardrobe.  Of course, university is far different from high school, and I want my daughter to fit in.

At the mall, I took her to some of my favorite stores way back when I was a teenager, up until now.  Abercrombie and Fitch didn’t need much of an introduction, my daughter has a few pieces of tops from this brand, but what we bought was designs more mature compared to the classic t-shirts, she usually buy.  And to prepare her for cool weather conditions or sudden downpour, we went at Ed Hardy and bought her two great jackets that she could use interchangeable.  For her shoes, I brought her to my all-time, one of top five favorite shoe designers, Christian Louboutin.  When we got to  the store, she so excited that she can’t  make up her mind, she chose two wonderful shoes that will look good on jeans and skirts, they were  both sexy and comfortable to wear.  After almost a day at the mall, we ended up with five new tops, two jackets and two pair of shoes. It was both fun and tiring day for both of us, the perfect bonding moment for mother and daughter.

I am into my one month trial of operating a business in line with clothing designs.  I frequently searched into the internet about the latest fashions and designs every customers wanted to buy, and I found designs which I think would be the best seller items.  I called my supplier eventually and he promptly delivered my orders of casual clothing for girls, most of it have designs of flowers, both sleeveless and turtle neck shirts.

Next week, he would faxed a quotations regarding to Clothes for Kids such as clothing for boys, and I cannot wait to look for it.  I phoned my friend if she wanted to buy one toddler clothing left in my closet and she responded positively.  I am hoping that my venture into this kind of  business would prosper and hope to open up another branch soon.
