Dining With Jewelle

Which girls in this age of such intense fashion consciousness who is not aware of what names like Prada, Coach, LV or Dior represent?!

Class and exclusivity, you say?

To me, they represent a dream because unfortunately I haven’t quite learn the art (read : guts) of entering their shops like I can buy anything (without checking the price tags first) let alone fork out thousands of dollars for one of their item!

But like all girls, I too want to parade my “Prada” around town if I do have one, if only to let other women drool - aren’t we all show offs!

Of course we can always get cheap knock-offs from the street but do you know that even in the world of fake items, there are various levels of imitations quality?

Inferior copies are aplenty on the streets that even a short sighted non-fashionista can immediately recognize. But there actually companies such as Ashley’s Boutique which finds superior copies of the trendiest items as soon as they are on the market.

The story of Ashley’s Boutique is interesting too. Apparently this service was started by someone who like most of us could not afford the exhorbitant prices that the real items demand and so she made it her business to find the “finest replicas” that are available so the moment the hot items are paraded down the runway, we too can have a piece of the trend while its still in season!

I like how thorough this site is as each item can be viewed from almost all angle so you can really have a visual feel of how an item looks it.

So if you are a fan of branded imitations fashion items, you should check out Ashley’s Boutique collections as they have bag or purses, clothing, jewelry or watches, sunglasses and accessories from brands such as Prada, Burberry, LV, Dior and Coach.

Now that you know where to get your stuffs, polish up your attitude and no one would be the wiser (except you as you saved yourself loads of money for MORE stuffs!)

A few weekends ago I managed to coaxed hubby to try out a new place called the Red Canopy Cafe at Batu Bersurat.

When we arrived the place was deserted so we picked one of the nice cubicle which even has a curtain door for privacy. The decor was contemporary but the thing that caught my eye was the huge flat screen TV which was playing some South American and Middle Eastern video clips. But the special thing about it was, the restaurant menu and dishes kept appearing on the screen so even if you don’t want to watch the clip, looking at the nice pictures of the curry and burger on the TV were sure interesting.

As for the menu itself, it was huge and thick! They have nearly everything from western to asian to even Latin inspired selections :

After much flipping back and forth, we finally decided on :

I think if you like a lot of choices when it comes to food, this is the place as we got quite a headache figuring out which to order!

We thought that the food was alright, the prices reasonable and the ambience cosy. Except perhaps the TV volume could be lower.

There was a guy who came in earlier than us and had a plate of succulent looking steak. We’d definitely try one of their steaks next time!
