It's super challenging not to overspend on the pretty clothes that we carry because all those clothes that we sell, are all the clothes that we like!
Every buying trip, we have to tell ourselves to have more restraint because building up our customer base is our main focus now. For every piece that we keep for ourselves, there will be 1 less piece for our customers to buy. It's only right that we put our own shopping pleasures on hold.
I really don't mean this as a bragging thing to imply that all our clothes are very nice (although in our eyes, they truly are!). It's just that right before we started this, Regina wanted us to only share those clothes that we like with our customers and that is exactly what we did.
Which is why we ended up liking all the pieces.
And sometimes, just sometimes, we do still give in to our shopping devil because we just can't help it!

Thank You!
My supplier and I were on MSN last night chatting away for work.
How cool is that!
It had been a rather quiet week for us as we prepared to shoot for our 3rd collection sometime next week. It haven't been super rosy around here and as of now, our friends are still our main patrons but we hope with the exciting stuffs we have in store, things will start to pick up.
For now, we would like to thank all our friends who had supported us thus far, be it through purchasing, suggesting or just being interested in what we do.
And to the few of you (you know who you are!) who tolerated my nonsensical sprouting at work because of my excitment over here, LOVE YOU LOTS!

We Discuss And We Discuss Somemore
I am having a discussion with Regina right now and I LOVE DISCUSSIONS!
It means that we are working hard to better what we do and hopefully it'll show through our work.
When your day job has become so mundane, it's really exciting to put on your thinking cap and just think, think, and think.
The only setback is that we usually end up with exploding headache after our discussions.

Phew!
Finally!! Our first post is up!!
You won't believe how much time and effort we put in just to get this out. It's insane! Our whole weekend was basically spent taking pictures, taking measurements, checking pictures, checking stocks. And the list goes on.
I haven't been working on weekends for a good 5 years and it's mad! Can't believe one weekend is over just like that.
But. Seeing the pictures of Minn really perked me up a lot. My model is really amazing!!
Now, I will need feedback, orders and, if you like what we've done, a pat on my shoulder to let me know I am on the right track.

Fulfilling Our Dreams
Its been a really hectic 2 weeks for us but we are finally set for our first voyage!
Endless sleepless nights, hours of slogging over our computers, bouncing ideas & deciding our direction, all while trying to juggle with our day jobs was definitely no easy feat. But at the end of the day, Lynnie & I are thrilled that we are finally bring our dreams to reality!
The "What Ifs" and "If Onlys" are now replaced with "Why Dont Wes" and "We Shoulds". It’s a big step for us but it was well worth it..All the tiredness disappeared as we add the final touches to our blogshop...
We are delighted to present our first collection launching tommorrow, 2 Nov 2009, we are keeping our fingers crossed! Wish us luck!
Please lend your support to OnCloudNine by spreading the word to all your girlfriends & getting the fantabulous apparels we have picked out for you!
For the first 2 collections, we are giving a 10% discount off for all our customers to add just a "spoonful" more of happiness to your shopping experience!
Ending my first post with a quote:

We look forward to meeting you wonderful girls as we sail along!
Love & Peace,

In A Mad Rush
We are currently in a mad rush to get everything ready for our virgin post. It's tiring yes, but we're just so excited that we're finally doing this!
Wow!
It's really not as difficult as I think it will be but it's definitely not easy either! There are a lot of planning, discussion and brain-storming required and as with all partnerships, there are differences to be overcome.
I'm hoping we will gain some mometum after the initial period is over. By then things should be easier.
Wanna see my favourite pieces for the launch?
I so look forward to the photoshoot this Saturday, even though there will be no studio and no DSLR. But we're cool with it and will defintely have as much fun as we can!
To our dearest friends, please support us by helping us spread the word. We really need as much of your blessing as possible!
