Zouk Flea and Easy Market
OK so, I finally succumbed and went to the Zouk Flea and Easy Market. A girlfriend from Harper’s emailed me about it and despite hearing bitchings from my colleagues along these lines, I decided to go check it out for myself. So it was true. There were many people wearing geek glasses, cheap tees and cheaper flip flops. LOL. But it doesn’t bother me that much, because I look chic (by comparision) in my white scoop neck tee, khaki tailored shorts, scholl gold sandals and my beeeeeg beeeeeg suhali white MM (the better to shop with, my dear!) Bwahahahahaha!!
Fashion faux pas apart, the place was too crowded to be true. People everywhere, clothes packed to the brim in suitcases. I walked around like a queen *regal waves* I walked around leisurely and enjoyed the vibrant mood of the sellers and buyers while trying to suss out a good deal. I did not harbour any hopes of getting clothing. As you know, local sizes tend to favour the slim and petite and moi, being the queen of plus size, is neither. Haha!!
I did however, find two pretty pieces for Gean at an absolute steal.
$5!! New piece by Ma Kool.
$8!! Also New piece from Laura Ashley. *happy camper*
But nothing excited me more than this purchase… I spied it tucked away under the clothes rack and pounced upon it like a predator. I love vintage stuff!!!
Bargained it to only $100!!!! *jumps around in glee*
Brand new vintage looking peep toe flats $20!!
Suffice it to say that I had quite a good time. I also spied some vintage telephones that looked like this:
They were going for only $80!
I would have bought one if I had not preferred these models:
Perhaps I am a little weird, but I am the type who would rather wait out and find the one thing that I want, than to settle for what is available. Heh. Have you seen anything like these models in vintage stores or overseas flea markets? Let me know! 
I only managed to get a bag at $8. Because my STUPID Mphosis bag that was JUST BOUGHT the day before BROKE when I got to Zouk.
I am banning Mphosis bags forever.
And because i was so busy searching for a replacement bag, I didn’t manage to concentrate on any of the good stuff that was there.
Shelly:It broke?! I knew their stuff are of inferior quality but not to that extent… Lately their ranges are rife with poor quality cotton jersey pieces.
And pity… they had lots of tees, which I think you would have liked.
I bought a canary yellow cotton/viscose dress from them too. To wear at home. :p
At least the dress was decent. Didn’t pichiak during the first wear. *LOL*
i think it’s good that u know exactly what u wan rather than to settle down with second best
i’m a stubborn one too :X
Shelly: The sleeveless one with sewn on pleats in front? Looks nice but the material is very thin… good to wear at home, as you said.
Cindy: Heh. More excuse to shop, you see.
Beautiful L. Ashley dress there!
And the telephones, I bought one more than 8 years ago in BKK, Thailand. It looked a slightly older model than the ones you pictured; there was a mouth piece and an ear piece.
The phone worked fine but it had a very shrill ring tone, which until today, I have no idea how to adjust *hahaha* So I let it stand as decoration *hmm…*
