TTR at Flea!

The flea came and gone but I am really happy at how it turned out albeit we had to spend a lot of time preparing for it!

I'm not the most enthusiastic person when it comes to going for fleas as a seller because of the immense preparation work involved.

And all that unpacking after the flea.

So I actually kind of hesitated when Maybelline approached us because it was so near to Christmas (which means we'll get super busy!!) and like what I mentioned above, 

I'm not a fan of attending fleas.
So far, this is only the 5th flea which we've attended ever since TTR started.

But overall, I'm really glad that we went!

:)

It was so good to see our customers in real life and being able to chat a little with them!

Would have loved it more if I weren't so busy during the event itself. 

Most of the time I was squatting down (very unglamly) checking for available stocks, 

running to the backstage to make sure that the models are ready for the catwalk at 3, 4 and 5pm,

halfway through we had to go back to the office to replenish stocks but ended up having stuck in traffic jams to and fro,

and when we returned, Scape had no more parking so we had to wait for DAMN long.

Gave up and reversed out to park at Mandarin Hotel which unfortunately charges a sky high parking fee for weekends.

If you had seen me doing all that above, 

I must have looked like a crazy person, hahahaha.

But still, no regrets!

:)

I feel really lucky as well, because we had so many people helping out at the booth and it made me realize that I have so many awesome people around me who are willing to render their help when I really need it.

Huge thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Photos from the flea event!

This gorgeous hooked front peplum top came right before the flea and I decided to bring them along!
Couldn't resist it myself and picked out the coral to wear!
:)
One of the designs which we had to restock after the first hour!


Rack full of new designs!!!
:D


Accessories were going at $15, $10 and $5!


Our pretty sign board!




We brought cute Christmas themed props along because I honestly thought that I would have time to take photo with customers!
:X
In the end, we only used the props at the start, before the crowds came in.
So sad.






The queue started to form at 11 plus!
Really long queue omg.








This is what I meant by squatting down in a very unglam manner to search for available stocks.
Hahahaha.

We had a really awesome turnout at our booth!
Thank you for braving the crowd babes!! <3
And it's so nice to see so many of you wearing TTR pieces!!
The whole team was really happy and touched, heh.




Thank you Jan!
Even though you were supposed to be Mel's slave for the day, thank you for helping us out at the booth!
:)


The muscle men of the day.
They had the toughest job of all, my god.
So many things to transport!
Plus, they don't earn any money also, hahaha.
Super wei da okay.






My camera really has serious focusing issues.
GRRRR.




Full group photo of Team TTR at the flea!
Love you all and thank you for sacrificing a good half of your Saturday for this event!
:)


TTR admin team + Sophie!!
Thank you for staying at our booth to help out Sophie, you didn't have to but you did.
And for the Christmas gifts too, mwahhhh!


Mel rocking the stage for the catwalk!


Sho prettyyyyyyy!
:)


Thank you both for being so enthusiastic at the event!

Mel came down even though she had a really bad sore throat,
and Cheryl came down to help out at the booth as cashier in between her catwalk segment!
Cannot be thankful enough!




And my dear bao bei minions who came down to help for as long as they could even though they had other activities planned for the day.
THANK YOU!!
Missing Linette in this photo because she was probably helping customers with their enquiries.
Other than being an awesome graphic designer, she makes a really good salesgirl too.
Hahahaha. :p


And the final catwalk!
I had to go on stage with Mel.
VERY SHY.





And I got home to this FB message from Mel...

I should be the one thanking you bb!



Me with the gorgeous TTR models!
<3






Group photo with all the other blogshop owners + models!




Thank you Baby, for being at the event and doing all the hard labour without a single word of complain.
You're the best.

It could be quite some time before our next meet-the-customers event again,
so thank you all who took the time to come down and show your support!
I really appreciate it!
Promise that we will organise the next event better and I really look forward to meeting you all again!
:)

Some of you said that we were too busy that day and you didn't manage to come say hi or take photos together...
And someone on my fs commented that I look really fierce and unfriendly in real life.
Haha, that I can't help.
I also know that I look unapproachable when I don't smile!
But my main concern that day was more of overseeing the event flow and making sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.

Come say hi next time!
I'm really friendly one la. Hahaha.

And for the encouraging emails/comments I've gotten after the event,
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
It means a lot to me, really!
:)

SEE YOU AT THE NEXT EVENT!

TTR X Maybelline (Flea event!)

We're going to be at our second Maybelline event tomorrow from 12PM-6PM if you have not already know about it!

And I have this feeling that it's going to be even more awesome than the first one!

We're definitely more well prepared this time round I would say,

so expect lots of goodies at the flea tomorrow!!

ALL ITEMS WE BRING TO THE FLEA WILL FALL BETWEEN $5-$30!

Nothing will be more than $30,
even for bags!

And since so many of you on my FS has been asking me to preview some items which we will be bringing to the flea,
I took some photos while we were preparing for the flea yesterday and today!
;)

We will be bring around 20 new and upcoming designs for the flea,
ALL DAMN PRETTY and the main point is,
they will be priced at $2-5 lower than the online prices!

No photos for those because I didn't have time to iron them nicely for photo-taking purposes.


Spot us at the flea tomorrow easily with this gorgeous signboard which Linette designed just for the flea!


Brought these adorbz HK furry covers in for iphone4 and iphone5 users!
Heheh.
I just changed to an ip5 recently and I kept the cover in peeenk leopard preentz!
;p


A very small portion of the accessories we're bringing to the flea tomorrow!
Accessories will be priced between $5-15!
:)


Miumiu inspired fringe bucket bag!
Exclusive to the flea event only!!
Kept one for myself, heh.


Vintage looking box sling bags!
Kept both moss green and black for myself.
Almost kept camel but Jolene stopped me.


Super awesome fringe + studs bag in black and burgundy!
:D :D


Cutest box satchel bag which comes in 3 colours!


And this soon to be launched drawstring leather studded bag will be available for purchase at the flea as well!








All 5 of us kept busy the entire of today packing...
GUESS WHAT FOR!


Hehehehe yepp, you're not seeing things!
We've packed 100 bags of mystery items, each bag going for $30 only!!!
That's way cheaper than any sale we have done so far!
Each item only $5!

Sometimes I wish I were a customer, I'll be so damn happy!
Hahaha.

Of course, you won't be able to choose your items.
But rest assured that most of the items inside are free sized, or we will label the bags and you can choose either size S or M!

Inside every bag, there is a minimum of 4 TTR label items.
And at least 2-3 pieces will be unreleased/never seen before items!!!
We also chose a good range of colours for each bag, so you'll definitely find some pieces among the 6 which suits your liking!


And because we really don't wanna let you come and go home without awesome deals,
we've decided to throw in these $2 off Miyoc vouchers inside every grab bag!
(If you purchase other items and you chalk up $30 worth, you will also be entitled to this voucher!)

The catch is, we only have 100 grab bags.
SO EARLY BIRDS GET THE WORMS!
Come early okay!!
Surely worth it!
:)

If you don't manage to get the grab bags,
we will have a huge box of clothes going at $10 per piece only as well!


Also, TTR models Mel and Cheryl will be taking the catwalk at certain time intervals.
You'll be able to catch them parading the stage in upcoming TTR designs!
;)


See you babes at the flea tomorrow!
Come say hi and take photos with us!
We brought some Christmas themed photobooth props so it'll be really fun!


*Do note that for items purchased at the flea (including the mystery grab bags) will STRICTLY not be allowed any exchanges or refunds.
