kids @ SHOPWIKI

As a Malaysian I often find it hard to find some stuff locally and those that are available locally are not up to my expectation. Today, I have been assigned a task to write on SHOPWIKI clothing line for girls , a US online store that offers fantastic shopping for parents of all income groups and their little girls. As a little girl a long, long time ago (it sure has been a terribly long time ago, now that I'm 42 years old) I remember how my mum would always buy me lovely frilly dresses from Robinson's. Back then it was either Robinson's or St. Michael's (what is now called Marks & Spenser). Of course we did not have internet those days and shopping was confined to what was locally available and to travel buys ! Oh how we used to drool when family and friends returned from overseas trips and came home with their heavily laden bags !

These days the world is at our finger tips. An internet connection, a computer and a credit card. And off we go....

SHOPWIKI is an online store that sells everything you can imagine and ever want and today, I write about dress and casual clothing for girls. For more details and to visit SHOPWIKI, click here.

As our Malaysian weather dictates, mums would only want light clothing for their pretty girls and popular a popular choice would be light color cottons fabrics, either plain or printed. What I love best about internet shopping is the possibility of sending gifts to family and friends who are far away. I do not forget the fact that what I buy may be something others will not find in Malaysia ! Yea....that's something to be proud of.

Remember how (as kids), we wanted to be pretty, have special and fun stuff that we could show of and boast about ? I found many lovely things at SHOPWIKI; stuff I wish I had as a child. You have to see for yourself to belive it and to experience how terribly easy it is to shop online.

Ha ha ha...I remember a time when I was about 5 or 6 years old. It was Chinese New Year in Malaysia; the 1st day actually and we were getting ready to visit our elders. My mum had laid out this green dress for m with a butterfly motif in front and I refused to wear it. Why ? I hated the colour green ! Instead, I brought out this lilac coloured wool cardigan I received as a Christmas gift and insisted that I wear it. My mum being my mum, let me have my way. What I didn't realize then was my mum wanted me to learn a lesson that I would never forget in this lifetime ! So there I was, dressed in a white pleated skirt, lilac wool cardigan, lovely white socks with lace and white shiny shoes. I will spare you the rest of the details and leave it to your imagination but all I will say is that for the next 2 days, I had to stay home when everyone else went out visiting because I had such a horrible rash; from the heat and from scratching too much ! I've never owned a woolen cardigan since ! So this is how vain kids want to be and I have to say...I used to be one vain kid ! If only there was SHOPWIKI way way way back then...wouldn't I have been so lucky.....
