Saturday Shop Alert : Chimera Online
It's Saturday again and you all know what that means... Saturday Shop Alert time!
Today I'm featuring Chimera Online Shop, a web based shop run by two lovely ladies that are fashion savvy and updated on the latest trends. Read on to know more about the shop an what they offer...
1-a. Tell us something about the person/s behind the shop.
Kaye (aka Shae Krizia V. Romualdo) and Keyt (aka Lillian Kate C. Diso) started Chimera On Line Shop with the vision to be Eco Friendly through Reinventing and Recreating. Kaye is a Registered Nurse who ventured into her passion as an entrepreneur to solve her unemployment while Keyt is now a Registered Architect who is an On Line Seller at Multiply for about 6 years now. We are childhood friends with same passion for fashion and everything else in between. Keyt is an artistic person who is mostly responsible for Photography, Styling, Production of Eco- Friendly items while Kaye used her PR skills in Sales, Marketing, Product Research, Styling, and HMU. Together, we make an amazing duo perking up our sales and garnering more patrons in just about 6 months of business in Facebook and 7 months of business in Multiply.
1-b. Tell us something about the shop. What it offers etc.
We started purely as an Eco Friendly Shop showcasing Revamped Clothes, Upcycled Accessories, Eco friendly Shoes and Bags. Recently, we perked up our sales by featuring hit and trendy quality products at very affordable and reasonable price.
2. When did you start the business and what inspired you to do so?
Conceptualizing the Shop started in August 2011 where Kaye and Keyt are both unemployed and wanted to earn to help our family. Kaye, with an Eco- Friendly background which she acquired when she started working at EcoOasis in KL, Malaysia, came up with this crazy idea to revamp and reinvent old clothes to make it trendy to move away from the usual preloved collection. Keyt, with her skills and creativity, made this plan into action. We also made accessories from Keyt's pile of beads (she was a "retired" jewelry maker that time). We make researches using the Internet for DIY items and trendy items to keep our products "Stylish". We were also inspired by other on line shops who makes Look books and advertises their photography/ hair, make up, and styling abilities so we also made our own featuring these products. Keyt is the photographer, while Kaye is the stylist and one of the models.
3. What are your "shop" goals for 2012?
Our goal for 2012 is to make Chimera On Line Shop popular and gain many sales as possible because of our future plans-- Kaye wants to save money to use in pursuing Medicine while Keyt needs extra income to support her family, Yes we are ordinary people with same hopes and dreams like anybody. But unlike some, we solve unemployment by using our talents and skills to make a living.
Random Question : Show us your favorite go-to accessory and tell us why you love it.
Right now, we love the BRAIDS! We made our very own Braids collections because we are crazy and drooling over it, and we will be giving away some of it for FREE! :)

Saturday Shop Alert : Skye Avenue
Welcome to another Saturday Shop Alert post. This time I'm featuring a shop I first stumbled upon back during my "Multiply" days. I used to be quite an active shopper on Multiply before it got a little too complicated for me. Anyway, this shop definitely caught my eye because of some Korean makeup products that were readily available at the shop.
So what shop am I talking about? Well, it's none other that Skye Avenue!

| Miss Dee Tan |
The above photo is of the lovely Dee Tan, owner of Skye Avenue. Read on to get to know more about the shop and Miss Dee.
1-a. Tell us something about the person behind the shop.
The person behind Skye Avenue is Dianne Tan (aka Dee Tan), a 26 year old online entrepreneur who graduated from an IT course in De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde. She has worked as an IT consultant in one of the well known IT companies in Makati for 2 years.
Working in a corporate world was one of her main goals after graduation but after a year of working, she discovered what she really love to do - to be an entrepreneur. So she decided to leave the corporate world and move to a more focused career path of her own.
1-b. Tell us something about the shop. What it offers etc.
Skye Avenue started out as an online shop that caters to everything and anything under the sun. Back then, I couldn't make up my mind as to which products I will market that is why my online shop's name doesn't point to a specific category of what I sell.
The first few products that I offered were authentic slimming products and ultimate gaming cards for Facebook and MySpace games. For the first few months of online selling, I just had a handful of clients -- 3 clients in January 2010, 5 clients in February 2010, 15 clients in March then 94 clients in April and so on. I was so amazed on how my online shop grew.
As the number of clients grew, I tried to look for more products that clients might be interested in. I added fashion accessories, couple shirts, korean cosmetics and Cyleina organic soaps. Vintage necklaces and couple shirts were selling like hot pancakes back then but sad to say it lasted for a couple of months only. So I tried to search for more promising products, I found Strip IT! Sugaring waxings kits. I saw the big potential of their products that I immediately applied for a distributorship in my area. The sugaring kits, body butter and whitening body scrubs became my best sellers.
Being a girl who's addicted to buying a lot of makeups, I joined NYX Cosmetics craze. From the first time I tried it, I immediately fell in love with this makeup brand. So I couldn't help but to make this brand available to my online store and made sure that I made it affordable for everyone.
This year as I was looking for good skin care products that would be best for my skin, I found KRAVE Minerale Organics and Cosmeceuticals. It is because that I believe so much in Krave's products, that I wanted to share it with my clients and friends; I, then applied for distributorship and was so lucky to get accepted.
2. When did you start the business and what inspired you to do so?
Skye Avenue online shop was created in the late 2009. At first, it was just a trial. I just offered things that I think other people might be interested in. I just had a few clients back then and I started doing meetups around my work place. On January 2010, my family was migrating to another country but my sister and I was left here in the Philippines because of the age limit. I was feeling really down that time because for the first time in my life, I will be away from my family. So I diverted my attention and pursed my online selling business, and it is still doing very well.
3. What are your "shop" goals for 2012?
Every year, my online shop's goal is to search and offer more interesting products to my clients and potential clients. I think I have already reached my goal early this year by offering Krave Minerale Organics and Cosmeceuticals. I also have a surprise to my clients this year, Skye Avenue will be carrying the UK brand, Miners cosmetics starting late April or early May.
Keeping my clients happy and satisfied is a mission, that is why my goal is growing each day.
Random Question : Would you rather be a beauty product or an accessory (jewelry)? Why?
While both beauty product and an accessory (jewerly) when worn can make a person more attractive, I'd rather be a beauty product. Why? Beauty products most especially skin care products can enhance a person's beauty even if it is not worn plus it could give long lasting effects.
Check out some products they offer:
