Shopaholix Bar



Woohoo! I like this dress! It makes me wanna don a huge black Jackie O sunglasses with some long black satin gloves, black pumps and a long cigarette holder. Of course, I don't smoke. But it's very Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany's.

Sherie Shopie



In this new century, most of us probably do not have virgin hair anymore, even more so if you're no longer in high school. So, no worries about that coloured hair blending in with this cute little scrunchie! Okay, so if you're still in school, at least this cute scrunchie is able to live up to the dress code!

Bundle.Of.Joy



Lots of Blair/Audreyesque dresses popping up nowadays? Not that I have any complaints! I love them a whole lot better than the kimonos. Anyway, how quirky is it that there are suddenly three little bows on the dress? Totally makes up for the prisoner-ish look of the dress. If you're horizontally challenged, I do not advise you to get this.

Adornment Alley



More earrings for the unconventional! Actually, some guys look extra hot with an eyebrow piercing. Hehe. Bet they'll look even cooler with a silver man on their eyebrows!!

TH Couture



Somehow, this dress brings Chinese New Year to mind. Must be the flowers. And if the flowers aren't enough to make you fawn, how about that superhuge bow???

Lala Bubbles Shoppie



Dresses are so in abundance these days. There are those which you can wear to college, those suitable for the office, and some for dinners. This one would be perfect for college. I especially love the ribbon on the side, and the overall monochrome effect of this dress.

The Kooky Thing



What's the one thing that can dress up your LBD and still make you look elegant? Patterned tights, of course! Considering the LBD alone is quite plain, why not dress it up more with patterned tights? It's not like there's much outfits to pair them with. I personally love the argyle ones. Don't mind me, I kind of have an argyle fetish.

Simply Pretty Things



Basics are one of my favourite things. Easy to pair with, and limitless accessories. Take this grey knit top for example. Plain, but you can wear it with any sort of bottoms you like. See that necklace? It's free! So you have even more necklaces to pair it with.

Sassy Stuffs



Yayaya, it's yet another oversized bag that you can bring to college or shopping. But we don't all have the same tastes, thus there are many different designs to choose from! I personally like this 'cause the inner lining is real cute.

Hey ladies! So sorry I did not update yesterday, as I was quite busy rushing with something. Thankfully, I'm already done! So here's a big fat post for y'all.

Bimbs Wardrobe



What does one do when one has a bad hair day? Why, one covers it up of course! With the many type of hats, you'd be spoilt for choices. If you wanna be a little funky, try this fedora. Very old British man meets androgynous chic, especially if you pair it up with a tshirt and a vest with some jeans.

Purple Peppermint



If fedoras aren't your cup of tea, why not try a trucker cap? Unlike ordinary caps, trucker caps have more ventilation, thanks to the mesh area. I like this rainbow-stripey one! The front might be a little plain, but the stripes say for it all.

Quadruple Queen



Hello, simple sundress for lectures! Perfect for a sunny day, and since it's flowy and all you don't need to feel all tight with pants. Best thing is that you can just slip on some ballet flats, grab your bag and you're good to go.

A Touch of Simplicity



Oooh! The Starbucks tee! I've been wanting to get myself one, but I can't seem to find the perfect tshirt. Yeah I know, it's just a tshirt, but there are perfect ones too! This brown one makes it look all vintagey, and the colour will most definitely suit a pair of jeans, no matter what colour. Except for black, maybe.

Shopping Princess



The reason why I posted a picture of the back of the dress is because that's the most appealing part! The front is nothing much to shout about, it's just a normal sleeveless front. But the good thing about these type of dresses are that people don't give you a second glance, until you turn your back on them. Then they'll regret. It's like people and relationships. What am I saying? Moving on.

Beau Monde



Cute beanie the model's wearing. But that's not the focal point of the clothes. The focal point is, the jacket! Yes, the jacket! Forget funky patterned hoodies, forget ladylike cardigans, let's go for something big, bulky and androgynous for once! Like this jacket with the many pockets and those cute gold (I think??) buttons! I totally love the entire combination of this outfit. A word of fashion. If you're going to wear a baggy top, opt for more body fitting bottoms. And vice versa. You don't want to end up looking haggard if you're too baggy all over, or slutty if you're too tight all over. Dresses are an exception.

Victory Fashion



Just because some days we don't wanna wear the racerback or halter and have to wear a different bra. I mean, we've got limits with out strapless/halter/crossback bra straps, don't we?? So we can still go sleeveless in this. Minus the uncomfortable crossing/halter bra straps.

Candy Colour



I quote the blogger: How low can you go?? For those of us female species blessed with bigger boobs, I say go bra less in this while clubbing! Don't forget the nipple concealer. And don't jump around too hard, you might have a wardrobe malfunction in it.

Dress to Kill



This bag reminds me of chocolate and vanilla ice cream wafers. No idea why. Both are equally yummy! And I think this bag is just nice for lectures. It looks big enough to fit your jacket, bottle of water and some notes, perchance?

Vibrant Swirls



Christmas is less than a month away, so get in the mood with this dress! Adorned with mistletoes...mmm. Great excuse for a little peck with that cute guy or cousin!

Vejae



No more boring office wear! Not with this pinafore! Looks cute if paired with a ruffled button up blouse. Add a no fuss tank watch and a sophisticated necklace with some colourful peep toes and you're good to go! Do bear in mind that flashing your bra isn't too appropriate for the office though. For clubs - anything goes!

The Cute Closet



Gold buttons are not exactly my cup of tea, 'cause they tend to look quite tacky especially when paired with colours such as navy blue. Luckily, this pink and gold combo looks quite good together! Make it a romper-ish halter dress and you're good to go. This will look especially cute and sporty in a pair of sneakers. If you're not one to feel comfortable baring your back, you can wear a tshirt underneath it.

Tic Tac Toe



I bow to all things bright, pink and cutesy, especially this dress! So very striking, yet without being too much. Turn heads in the office with this dress. Who said office wear had to be dull?

Aphrodite's Touch



Don't look down on this humble black tank top. Sure, it's just a tank top. But with the right look, one can look extremely sexy and stylish in it. It is the wardrobe essential. I'll just give you a combo. Take this, one pair of dark wash jeans in whatever style you like, a brown woven belt, a long necklace or some chunky bracelets (never both together). Choice of shoes? Your pick. As for me, I'd prefer sneakers. So casual yet sexy. I love the look.

Miss Shopaholic's Closet



Yeah yeah, I did say I wasn't going to review anymore kimonos, but this is an exception. A particular exception, 'cause the design is very oriental and beautiful. Love the peacock shimmery flowers. I still don't like batwing sleeves, but I have to say, I like the design.

Fashion Unleashed

.
I must admit, I'm a tshirt-jeans girl. Why not? It's comfy, and with the right combination, you look cool instead of sloppy. Some girls just can't master the look. Or rather, they can't find the right jeans that suit them. I don't blame 'em. I'm still on the lookout for the ultimate jeans too. Anyway, I remember playing with paperdolls when I was a kid. It was so cool cutting out different clothing and tacking them on the dolls. Don't cut this one out though.

Favourite Boutique



I love this jumpsuit! Totally has that androgynous feel to it. Though from the picture, it kind of looks khaki coloured, and that colour is a little hard to match if you wanna look serious. :( 'Cause, you know, khaki is usually associated with the outdoors, soldiers and whatnot. If only these were dark grey and pinstriped, they'd so totally fit for the office!

Milky Cottage



Cute dress. Basic, yet cute. The white band makes it have the sailor-ish feel, and that fedora actually matches the dress! Though I say with something so simple, a quirkier fedora is needed! Polka dots, maybe?

Autumn Closet



Having a dinner with the parents and relatives, so you can't dress too sexily? Look sexy without baring too much skin in this spaghetti strapped, knee length dress. Yeah, so what if it's knee length? Knee length skirts hide your flabby thighs and show off your slender calves!

Velvet Ribbon



This dress. Is amazing. You have to go and read her blog to see how many ways there are to wear this dress! Back-to-front, off shoulder, fluttered sleeves, tube, oh the list goes on! Best thing is: The jewels on the collar of the dress. Lovely. Btw, Velvet Ribbon owner, those gladiator heels are gorgeous! Where did you get them?

Miss Capsicum



If your eyes are immediately focused on the houndstooth cape, please tear your eyes away (no worries, that is for sale too) on the bag. Yes, the adorable square bag that's totally reminiscent of a paper bag, but no, it's a tote! It's solid too, and it's fantastic for making a statement, compared to the soft, no-form bags. Get this one for a change. You won't regret adding it into your collection.

Peach Love



Cute halter top, or a dress for the extreme petites. Love the faux double-breasted appeal, and the fact that you can wear it to the office and then to the club! Just pair it with some lace tights if the top/dress doesn't expose your crotch, or some dark wash skinnies if they do. Add a pair of bright coloured shoes and you're good to go.

Peep



I love scarves. After I saw a uni mate wearing one, adding pizzazz to her tshirt and jeans, I told myself, I totally need one. I have one. But it's no crime having another. Especially a woolly snowflake scarf like this one!

Dress To Kill



Ditch the pinstripes and add some bling to your vest. If you're so afraid of standing out, these work well with just your average tshirt and denim skirt with sneakers. I love it! So bright and shiny!

The Red Tomatoes



Cute platforms! They're so totally bright and striking, but that's what makes them so cute. Although I wouldn't dare to wear them out, why make that stop you?? Hm, I might consider wearing them if I'm feeling particularly down in the dumps. Nothing like some bright technicolour to brighten your mood.

So Into You



Ooh, yes. Another maxi with minimalistic flowers. Damn I hate those maxis with designs looking like they fit my high school's curtains.

Ten Lady Toes



Hand-painted shoes are the bomb! One of the best thing about custom made stuff like these is that you'll probably never see anyone else wearing the same shoes. That, is exactly what we girls covet for. Nothing spells catfight like two girls wearing the same outfit. Unless of course, you already planned so, which is totally uncool.

Aphrodite's Touch



Who doesn't like babydoll tube tops?? Especially one with a fancy lacy hem like this one. If you like, you can also wear it as a high waisted skirt, but of course you risk stretching the elastics on the smocks. No worries if your boobs are bigger than your abdomen. *snigger*

Clothes For Fun



I like bags. Especially bags with lots and lots of compartments, 'cause I totally hate having to dig around in my bag to look for something. Especially if that something is small. This bag has so many compartments you'd be stumped on where to put what. I'll help you. One compartment for vanity items, like you lipbalm, mirror, brush, etc. Another compartment for the sanitary pad. Another for the cellphone. Another for the tissue. Another for the mp3 player. You get my drift.

U Look So Hot Today!



Yes, this is definitely a hot vest. Black, strappy and all. If one had the courage to wear this without a top underneath, one would get all the attention in the clubs, trust me.

XOXO Kiss



Nothing like a simple sundress that you can just slip on with some espadrilles and a tote bag. Go out to the circus or the theme parks and look great the entire day.

Gleaming Petals



Instead of wearing those boring, one-colour pencil skirts for presentations or to the office, why not opt for this black and white one? It's knee-length, yet it's demure without being old-fashioned. Wear this with a light pink button up shirt and you'll look great! Don't go easy on the shoes though. Try something adventurous, like oxfords or something strappy. No pumps!

Quill Cards




Quilling is the art of wrapping a thin strip of paper around like, a needle or something. If you're good at it, you can create really nice shapes other than just a roll of paper. Take this handmade card for example! Check it out - even Santa's robe is quilled. So cool! The recipient of this card would be really pleased to get this in the mail! So what are you waiting for? Make someone have a Merry Christmas!

Mini Pose



Yay, more argyle goodies! You can now wear this one off shoulder as well. If the top is long enough to be a super mini dress, you can wear this with tights and ankle boots.

Peaches & Pixies



Cute dress! This is certainly something different, a heart shaped dress with some extra ruffles. Love that it's white satin too, and that cincher goes well! Though since this is a white dress, I'd suggest a more colourful cincher. Like, purple? Or red, or yellow, you know what I mean.

Ministry of Clothes



Basic cardigans are needed in every girl's wardrobe to keep warm. Also, seeing as cardigans aren't nearly as thick or bulky as hoodies and sweaters, it's also convenient to be placed inside bags, making it convenient to be brought out at times of need - like in the cinema. If you get a perfectly fitting cardigan like this one, you could wear this with totally nothing underneath it. Except for, well, a bra. The good thing is that it's not zip-up, so people won't "accidentally" pull it down and reveal your lace for the entire world to see.

Ur Sidelines



Enough with hobo bags. Let's have a square tote for once. Why not this purple and white one, which makes a totally great colour combination? Great for when you're going out to the mall with the parents.

Glam Avenue



Another one of their strappy/strapless dresses. I really like this dark turquoise colour! Unfortunately, so does other people, 'cause this colour is already gone. No worries though, they have it in blue and black as well. What I love about dresses like these is that it goes well on its own.

Cheap As Chips



Ooh, sexy secretary look. Love its high collared Victorian inspired top, and they managed to make it look not that uptight by making the upper part of the dress sheer. Pair it with some flowery tights like in the picture, simple ear studs and maybe some b&w oxfords.

Ruby Dutchess



More clubbing gear! Also comes in purple and blue, plus you can tie that halter any way you like, so that cleavage part can also be a keyhole!

TH Couture



Love the hem details on this trapeze racerback dress. Makes up for the plainness of this dress. No fear though, a fancy cincher will do the trick. That, or a long necklace. Add some chunky bracelets if you're not wearing the necklace, and some gladiator heels.

Eve's Closet



This picture is so happy looking. Makes me wanna put on that tiered racerback top and some satin shorts and prance around on the grass or something. If you see closely, the straps are like that of a belt!
*Update: It's already sold out SOBS.


Finally, something I have not seen before. Very biker chick meets office lady. The best part is, you can wear this as an overcoat, a dress, or a top! You can zip it up all the way to cover up, or zip it down a bit and make a collar. Or, if you wanna be sexy, you can zip it lower still and show some cleavage or a plunging neckline. If you wanna be a real biker chick in this, pair it with some fishnets and wear a spiked faux leather choker or bracelet. :P

Adornment Alley



Belly button-ers are so lucky these days. There's such a huge range of rings for you to choose from, it almost makes me want to get a belly button piercing too. Of course, the mother doesn't allow it. Anyway, this cross has a really gothic (the artistic style) feel to it. It's diamante encrusted, black, and...is that brass?? Anyway, I am in love with it. If it came in a brooch, I'd definitely want it!

A Fitting Room Boutique



I don't like gladiator flats. It makes your legs look short (especially if they aren't long to begin with). However, I do like gladiator heels! Not the ones that reach up to below your knees though. I like gladiator heels like these! Strappy without being overboard, and enough height to make you feel tall. This one is in dark brown, and it's four inches high. A word of caution; wear this only if you're not walking the whole day.

Jolly Dolly



I like this combination! Very sexy office lady. The bag doesn't really match the outfit though. Nonetheless, they are selling the sleeveless dress, long sleeved blouse, tights and bag! Separate, of course. How great is it that they have already put together all their stuff and it's all (well, mostly) available??

Lovely Paperdoll



More cute earrings from them! Get into the Christmas mood with this carriage and rocking horse combo. It would look really good with that candy cane dress, white clutch and gladiator heels put together. Mm hmm.

Paperdoll Online



If your prom is nearing and you haven't gotten yourself a dress, shame on you! A girl should be shopping for her dress before her exams already. No pressure, though. If maxi dresses aren't your thing for prom, get this bubble cocktail dress already! So simple yet elegant and sweet, all you need is some pearl necklaces (or fake pearl. whatever), a glittery clutch, some fierce high heels and you're ready to go! You could wear some accessories on your hair too, if you like. Like, some shiny barette or something.

Peaches & Pixies



When I think of gingham, I am reminded of cowboys and country girls. No idea why. Anyway, to erase that memory from mind, this dress is made in a more modern way. Like, in tube style and with buttons! If you find yourself uncomfortable with wearing a tube, you could always wear a white tshirt under that, and voila! Dual toned dress.

Oh! Cotton Candies



This is a different sort of vest that I've never seen! Instead of pinstriped or plaids or plain, it's in houndstooth! Love the peter pan collar and the gigantic bow on it too. Very good for dressing up plain tops.


Okay, so you've gotten yourself a dress for prom, but no suitable bag. How about this glittery clutch?? It comes in black and silver, so it's easy to match that dress. Do keep in mind that if your dress is already very glittery, go for a more matte type of bag. Too much glitter can be blinding.

Bows Lover



Get retro in this polka dotted tube. I love the white button with the band detail on the waist area. Goes well with white satin shorts and a tote bag.

Wada's Wardrobe


A pinafore with adjustable straps, so you can make this a high waisted skirt, or a pinafore dress. You have to check out the back, it's really corset-like, with the lace ups!

Announcement 3

If you noticed that lately I have not been updating as often as I used to, well, I'll clarify now. Reason #1 is because I have been a little busy lately, helping out with some stuff. Therefore I was only free in the night time to update.

Reason #2 is because I can't find anything that I like. Some of the online boutique owners have sent me emails regarding updates from their shop. Yes, I do appreciate you ladies doing so. However, if I don't review any of your items, it's only because I don't like it. I'm sorry, but I can't be fawning over every single piece that you throw at me.

Reason #3. Everything I see is almost the same! I think I saw the same ruffled toga like a hundred times. Not to mention the exact same maxi dresses almost like, everywhere?? I am getting bored, please do surprise me. Bring in more tshirts! Basics! Blazers!

Besides, I am getting bored of kimonos already. I swear, if I see another kimono I'll start screaming, so I will not review any more unless it's really, really nice. Which would be highly unlikely.

I am also getting bored of florals. There is only so much flowers I can take, and I especially hate those floral designs which make you look grandma-ish.

Did I mention I don't like vintage clothing? No offense, but I don't plan on looking like my primary school teacher from the eighties, thank you very much. Unless it's really something, (like that red dress from Shopaholics United) I won't review it. Vintage accessories are very nice, just not clothing. Please do bring in more vintage necklaces.

Also, I apologize to online boutique owners who have sent me emails which I have not replied. I will assure you though, that if I review one of your items I will definitely inform you via email.

That's all. Toodles.

Ablinc



I bought my Japanese schoolgirl skirt today! No, not this one, but it's in plaids anyway. If you haven't gotten yours yet, get this smexy one. It's short, it has pleats, it has side buttons, it has lace!! Quickly go get yourself a white shirt, knee length socks and some black pumps already!

Shopping Princess



I love the basics. And nothing gets more basic than this racerback dress (excluding cincher) which you can accessorize to your heart's content. Lady in red? Go crazy.

Se.xx.y



Ooh, another trapezesque dress. I like this one 'cause the strap is real funky looking. Toggle it around and you can make it a toga, or a tube dress. Of course, if you find the dress too short for your liking, you could always wear tights. Not leggings or skinny jeans though. This dress is more elegant for those.

The Kooky Thing

Good news! The Kooky Thing will be having their Christmas and clearance sales for only a week, which is from 21st of November till the 28th of November. Do hurry! 10% off all clothes and 5% off all shoes. Yeah, I know it's a little too early to be having Christmas sales, but so what??

The Red Tomatoes



This cardigan would be perfect for my friend. What better to display your name than to wear it? Haha...

Iccy House



Something for the guys. Yes, those are ketchup bottles, but doesn't it look artistic?? It's on sale too. Personally, I like the white one very much. If it was a girl's tshirt, I'd definitely get one for myself.

Jeans Pearly



Had on too much bling but can't leave home without earrings? Go for studs. Subtle, yet not too overpowering. Take this cutesy one for example. Who woulda thunk it??

La'Belle Closet



Going out for a Christmas dinner with the parents? Going out on a date to a fancy restaurant? Wear this. Not too fancy, not too casual. Bring along a shawl or a cropped cardi inside your bag just in case it gets a little chilly. Hey, that's what hobo bags are for.

Forever Only U



I've always liked those Japanese bells. They're really cute, especially those transparent ones with stuff painted on them. Like, a koi fish or something. Imagine something cute, becoming even cuter! A miniature bell, perfect for you to hang on your cellphone, keys, bags, thumbdrives, etc etc. Can the little dragonfly printed tag be any more cuter too??

Miss Lola's Closet



I thought this tube came out quite awhile ago? Nonetheless, I never had a chance to review it back then, so I'll review it now! Check out the back, totally sexy. You can tie it whichever way you like, so be creative.

Eve's Closet



Off shoulder tops can be so sexy without being revealing. Like this one, for example. It's also quite easy to pair with, either with jeans, shorts, skirts, whichever you like. My favourite combination would be the jeans, the darker the better.

Cloud Nine



More lovely dresses from them. They only have a few, and these came all the way from Aussie! Nothing like a simple spagghetti dress for a lazy day.

Wearever U Like!



Most guys hate shopping for clothes. They only do so when they're in dire need for it, and the most annoying thing is that they know what they want, go to that place, buy it, and head home. Hey!! What happened to walking around and looking for other stuff that you might like better?? Nonetheless, ladies, get this for your guy. He'll love it. Why? 'Cause it's two-sided, so he can just turn it over, and voila! A different pair or shirt. Same stripes though. But the colour's different. (Psst, they probably won't be able to tell the difference...) Do advise them to wash after each wear. You know how some guys can get.

Simply Alluring



This piece is a bit old, but damn do I like it! Sunny yellow with a tiered skirt! Oh, don't be fooled, it's a tube dress. Yay for elastics, 'cause some of us flatties probably can't hold up a tube if it ain't smocked.

Chubby A Bit



What a pretty model! Such a nice romper/playsuit/jumpsuit too. At one glance, this almost looks like a two-piece. Almost. I do quite like it. But then, I'll have to remove the entire thing if I need to pee?? That sucks.

EdJasz



Such pretty jewellery! This could either be a butterfly, or a ribbon, depending on how you look at it. Nonetheless, this is a perfect accompaniment to that elegant dress for prom. Just because most funky necklaces which I like are more suitable for non-classy events.

My Accessorist



Now, I hardly see this colour on beads. Be Buddha-like and wear this with say, an all-black outfit? Or just some dull coloured outfit with this bracelet, to brighten things up! When in doubt, turn to accesories.

Novel Creations



How would you like handmade jewellery? The owner makes on requests (I think), so if you have something in mind, do let her know! Take this anklet for example. Love the combination of the sweet lollipop with the flower spacing.

Vego



Oooh, now this is something real funky for the office! Bright, with a huge sash and high waisted. This one will really make that boring white button up totally...un-boring?? Pardon my vocabulary.

A Fashion Story



I like vintage necklaces. Especially those with random pendants. Like this one! A phone?? How random can you get? Yes, notice that freakish black thing attached to the phone? It's actually the phone's cord, but you can remove it if you like. If only the cord was curly...

Suga Dollies



Cute eyelet dress! Especially since it's off shoulder, it has that gypsy-look going on. Very nice for showing off your well toned shoulders without baring too much skin.

A Touch of Simplicity



Let's take a break from cinchers and go back to the old school belts for once. The best thing about woven belts? You don't need to punch in holes to adjust to your waist size, 'cause since it's woven, you can poke in that...that...(what do you call it??) thing anywhere to adjust to the length you like.

Secretly Lovely



Didn't I just post a dress similar to that yesterday?? Anyway, I don't think this dress is glittery. Good for clubbing too, nonetheless. Sorry though - that funky necklace isn't included.

Peep



Hands up those who like versatility! Then I shall introduce this dress to you! Although this picture doesn't show it, there's actually a really, really, nice pink (and diamante encrusted) brooch on the dress which you can remove if you like. But I don't think I will. That bling suits the dress! Plus, this dress can be worn as a tube, halter, toga, be creative! Grab one in sunny yellow to make yourself happy. Didn't you know, yellow in small doses can make a person happier??

Shopping Playground



Necklaces that look good enough to eat. Speaking of ice creams, I had my rainbow Paddlepop today! Yes, totally childish I know, but I've been eating that ice cream ever since I was a kid. It's still as yummy! I like the pink ice cream. But of course. Who doesn't like pink??

Garde-Robe



A trapeze dress suitable for the workplace. If I were you, I'd work that green one with some fancy tights and black pumps for that uptight yet colourful style.

Intolerably Cheap



Fancy a white woven tote from Esprit? I think this would go really well with the trapeze dress from above! It's not big enough to hold all the miscellanous items, but well worth enough for your essentials like wallet, keys, cellphone, lipgloss, etc etc.

The Cute Closet



This is such a cute little romper!! Omg, I totally want that pink romper (hint hint, Mr. Boyfriend) 'cause it would look so cute with that inclusive white tshirt and some high tops sneakers! Very nice for a day out (not shopping). Love the side buttons too. Though, I do have a teensy question. For those of y'all who already own jumpsuits, playsuits, rompers (however you like to call it) when you go to the washroom to pee, do you like, remove the whole thing?

Shopping Princess



Slim cinchers, because sometimes we don't like wearing broad cinchers and feeling a little tight around the waist area after a meal. Plus, these flowers are totally sweet. A nice accompaniment to that white babydoll top you have!

Style of 8



Wear this to the clubs and glitter! Be totally sexy in this baby blue mini fitting dress and some kitten heels and dance the night away.

Simpli-cious



Yay, another white top. Look demure in this with some light blue denim and ballet flats. String in some chunky bracelets and gigantic hoop earrings and you're good to go out of the house.

Miss.Glamm



I'm not usually a big fan of designer bags, especially those monogrammed Louis Vuitton ones. I don't know, they make you look kind of old, don't they? We only have a part of our youth to wear funky clothing, and the rest of our lives to use...classic monogrammed material. Okay I'm digressing. Anyhoo! This bag I can tolerate! In fact, I do quite like it! It's black, so the monograms are quite subtle. And I love the gold clasp and the hobo style. Thumbs up from me!

Forever Boutique



I know, we've been trying to avoid our blue/turquoise pinafore during our high school days like the plague, but this is totally cute! At least it's stylish, smocked, and babydoll! A word of caution; don't go sauntering around high school areas wearing this. You could be mistaken for a better dressed student.

The Kooky Thing



So we had satin headbands, ribboned headbands, checkered headbands, elastic headbands, glittery headbands...now how about some tweed headbands! I know tweed is totally British and old fashioned, but with a twist of young colour, it looks good! Besides, there's no better way to dress up a hairstyle than with some headbands.

Jolie d'amour



Yay for more smocked babydoll tubes. This striped one comes with a cute bow of the same material, as well as buttoned down buttons. You could wear this as a spaghetti strapped top too, if you like. Goes well with jeans that are not blue, because wearing an entire outfit of the same colour can be seriously tacky.

Simply Pretty Things



Remember my review on this babydoll smocked tube? Guess what, this awesome baby and all the other clothes (which are available, of course) are on sale! From today onwards till 11.59pm on the 30th of November! We all love sales. It's our favourite word in the fashion dictionary. This top is going for RM20 only!

Flitterby



Instead of the glammed up shiny and design-y cinchers, how about something basic, that looks like a belt? Just because cinchers like these will match almost anything. I think the brown one will really go with a white shirt and jeans, but sadly it's sold out. :( Nonetheless! The rest are still available.

WhortleBerries



I am not so sure if this is a preloved shop, so pardon me. Anyway, I am liking the innocence and sweetness of this dress! High-cut (the opposite of low cut??) to cover that cleavage but yet making you look demure. Just nice for those of us who aren't allowed or are a tad afraid to wear low cut attire. It has a sash so you can tie it back to create the illusion of a waist, minus the cincher! The skirt area is also swishy swishy enabling you to cover up thighs with a little flab.

Cloud Nine



I am digging the simplicity of this bubble dress! Empire waistline, with that band looking like there's a sash at the back. I think this would suit the OLs working in the media area, as it's quite the funky looking for the office!

Miss Shopaholic's Closet



Feel all airy in this flowy halter top. Love the floral designs, it looks great with that combination of shorts and heels.

Miss Capsicum



A simple and elegant kimono-like dress with minimal design! Sometimes too much can be a tad blinding, especially 'cause some kimonos tend to make you look a little wide in the torso area. Nonetheless, this is just elegant!

Pixie Closet



Oh, I do like the combination that this model is wearing! Very Victorian meets punk chick. She is definitely working that black bracelet. Although from the picture, it kind of looks like those long black beaded necklace wounded into a bracelet. Anyways, if you like, a spiked faux leather bracelet can do the trick as well!

French Kiss



I love bags, and I love purple. This Locquet is definitely something I'd want to be seen with in campus! Because we all need something that is striking to set us apart from the crowds. ;)

Dollphase



Preloved goodies here. Most of the stuff are quite Somerset Bay inspired, so if you ladies like the girly-summer-out-in-the-country style, this is your best bet. This dress is quite sweet, but not overwhelmingly so, because of the colour. Nice!

Emmy Cubic



Who says leopard prints must only be in their original colour? Get crazy in this sleeveless top with pink, green, and yellow! You could wear it with leggings I guess, but seeing as I am not a fan of leggings I'd go with jeans! And some skinny heels. Rawr.

Wearever U Like!



Some eye candy for you ladies!! That body is so buff. *drools* I'd love to see my boyfriend wearing this, if only he would ditch those baggy tees that bboys are so fond of wearing.

Crazy Wardrobe



Ah, here is something we do not see often. A woven clutch! Although it looks brown, it's actually grey in colour. There's a detachable strap which you can use as a wristlet, or just hide it under the clutch's flap to make it a normal clutch! I'd say this looks great for dinners as it provides a touch of nature to the classy elegance of dinners??

Korii Joko



This shop probably has the widest range of accessories turquoise beads can provide! This necklace here is one of my favourites. I think this will look really great with a white smocked babydoll tube, shorts and some flip flops, 'cause this just spells the beach.

Urban Closet



Yay, another maxi dress of this kind! And guess what, I still don't know what it's called! Anybody wanna enlighten me? This time it comes in a halter with no cleavage, so girls who are a little apprehensive of wearing low cut dresses or tops will find this perfect.

Daily Shopping Therapy



This tiered top is Zara inspired, but the Zara one is a dress. This could be a dress too, for the petites. I think. Nonetheless, I am liking the flowy feel of this tiered top, but perhaps in another colour.

Wish Upon A Bear



This is a unique dress! It's short, it's a halter, it has some lace and don't you just dig that abstract floral design?? I know I do.

Teamo



It's the Hermes Birkin bag!! Omg, is this for real? It can't be the original, no way, not at RM280!

Mini Pose



A dual toned top that you can pair with dark washed skinny jeans, boots or stilletos on that working Friday. What's more, you can head straight to parties dressed in that after work! Yay!

D' Gurlz



Well, hello there! Are you a faux two piece top or a real two piece top? I think you're a faux two piece top. *nods sagely* Anyway, look like you are wearing a cardigan over a flowy halter, because this piece totally goes with jeans and some high top sneakers!

Beau Monde



A knit 3/4 sleeved top for the office ladies. Yes, I do see the belt loops there, but I ain't gonna worry about what belt to match it with. Why? Well, I'll tell you why, it's because the belt is totally inclusive with the top!!!

Daemon Heart



Look totally preppy in this argyles knit dress. I fell in love with argyles ever since I saw Ashlee Simpson wearing a dark blue sleeveless knit argyle top in one of her videos. I must be getting old, because I can't seem to remember the title of the song now. Ahem. If you don't have any boots to wear like the model, how about some low cut sneakers? Or tights with pumps?

Jovy's Wardrobe



Such a sweet and demure dress! It's probably me, but this shop sells everything girly and demure! Although I can't really make it out, I think there are floral prints embroided(??) on the dress. Yes, it's buttoned all the way down, but I seriously feel that you probably don't need to undo any buttons, cause the neck is wide enough for you to slip in on. I think. Good news - the white inner top is inclusive!

Precious Mannequinzz



Instead of a dress, how about a flowy top for clubbing purposes! Wear it with some skinny jeans or a mini skirt. I love the bling in the middle of the boob area, and the sash hanging down has some serious Grecian style going on there. If you like, the exact same design comes in a dress as well, but with different colours.

Adornment Alley



Here's some jewellery for the less conventional piercing. According to the blog, this piece of jewellery can be used for a tragus or a labret piercing. Personally, I think the pink star would be totally cool for the girls with labret piercings! It could be a little too big for the tragus piercing though, imho.

Bebel Nina



If I was working, I'd totally wear this to the office. I love the fact that this looks like a wraparound dress, but it's not! No chances of a wardrobe malfunction while wearing that dress then. *snigger*

Peaches & Pixies



Oh, yes, I do like a halter top. Especially one that comes in a dress and in white! Love the little abstract tulips on the hem as well. The only complaint I have is that the sash at the back will clash with the halter's ribbon, 'cause the halter's ribbon is almost touching the waist. :(

Autumn Closet



This beige cincher might be plain and neutral coloured to you, but do think about it. A dress overdosed on graphics needs just a nice neutral cincher to tone it down. Besides, how often do you see a cincher in this design?? Quick, only one cincher of each design is available!

Glam Avenue



Pink - my favourite colour, and grey. Mix it together and you get this sweet, dusty-like combination. Just because we don't want to shine too bright on some days. This babydoll top can be worned with the spaghetti straps, or as a tube top. Pair it with jeans or shorts, and some 2-inch heels. Or, if you're petite enough, you can wear it as a super mini dress! Be sure to wear some boy shorts underwear though; that wind can be real pesky.

Ministry of Clothes



Simplicity is the key, and that's what MOC always does for their photos! No overwhelming watermarks, clear and bright pictures, I like. If the photograph doesn't lie, the material for this dress looks like the heavy kind - the suitable kind for dresses. Heavy yet slight stretchy material drapes over your body nicely, showing your curves at all the right places. Plus, don't you just love the crochet detail on the collar?

Glitery Glam



With so many dresses perfect for clubbing, you'd be spoilt for choices. Add another one to your collection with this brown number. This heart shaped dress can be a tube dress, and I think that sash down the middle can be used as a halter ribbon?? Or maybe even a toga. Who knows, the possibilities are limitless.

45°C Workshop



This dual toned dress can be just nice for the office! Pair it with a cincher and some bright slingbacks to compensate for the lack of colour in this piece.

Eve's Closet



Ah, bags. We can never have too many of 'em. Don't you just dig this one with pleats on it and a funky zip? Plus, it's black. We all love black.

PopCorn



Heh, hands up whoever owns a cheongsam? I know I don't. But maybe I should, after all, it's part of my culture. Wouldn't it be totally embarrassing if a Chinese hasn't worn a Cheongsam before? I mean, I practically lived in the baju kurung during my high school years (and I don't regret a single bit of it. So comfy!)! So here's a twist to the long cheongsam; a mini cheongsam! Hey, not only Chinese people can wear it, 'yknow.

for christine

This post is specially for Christine, who emailed me asking for a lookout for satin maxi dresses and a white tote. So far these are the few dresses that I found (including one which Christine herself found).

Lawa-Lawa RM65



Personally, I like this one best! Although at RM65 it's a little steep, by far it's the most elegant one I've seen around.

The Rose Attic RM50




This is the dress that Christine found! It's quite cheap for a maxi dress at RM50, and furthermore, the design is very nice. It has some peacock-feather-watercolour effect going on there.

Peep RM59



This piece is the only colour of its design remaining, so if any of you wants it, I suggest you purchase it quickly.

Peep RM59



Another last one of its design! Although bronze is not really my colour, I must admit the overall effect on this dress is quite nice.

Bunny Noo RM70



The yellow is a little too bright for my liking, especially for an entire maxi dress. Luckily the floral designs are kept to a minimum, otherwise the overall effect might be too overwhelming.

Shopping Princess RM55



These are quite newly updated. It has an assymetrical hem, which is rumoured to have elongating effects for the body. I cannot confirm with you a hundred percent, because I haven't tried it out myself. Personally, I think the red one would be nice for a Chinese New Year dinner. Read, dinner. Not lunch.

Buckle Buckle RM50



If I am not mistaken, this is the exact replica of the bag that Christine was looking for. It has the little lock and key thing going on, and gold on white is certainly an enchanting combination.

Goodie-licious RM26



Another white tote for Miss Christine, though I am not sure how much she'll like it. At RM26 it's quite cheap for a bag, eh? The handles are also thick enough so it won't leave welts in your shoulders should you be carrying a heavy bag.

Goodie-licious RM35



This bag comes in white and silver, so if I were to choose, I'd take silver! Just because it's something different than your basic white and black.

welcome to the black parade

Ah, black. It's the colour that we should never be without in our wardrobe. Not only does it matches everything, it looks elegant, sexy, and somehow has the wonders to make you look slimmer! How can we not love black? Since I love black so much, why not dedicate an entire post to only black clothing?? (With other colours too)

Favourite Boutique


This is a sexy dress to wear to those clubbing outings! Short and fitting, and a halter. Great for those sweaty moments. To add to the glamour, the neckpiece is glittery! Be all sparkly in this little LBD while grooving to the music.

.
Black works on dual toned dresses, to tone down those graphic details. Imagine having an entire dress with those prints! One would be blinded with confusion. Pair this with a cardi and you can even wear it to work.

.
Black is dark, and dark colours instantly make colours lighter than it look brighter and better. Just like this halter top. Doesn't the red and grey just pop out, making this halter top look fabulous? Love the design too - it's like jagged pieces of glass.
.
Isn't this dress so simple? It has no design, the whole dress is only in one colour...plainly said, it's just a basic tshirt dress! Ah, but my simple fellows, it is not just a basic tshirt dress. Yes, it may be in only one colour and has no design, but because of this, you can accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Go creative with scarves, belts, cinchers, flashy earrings, necklaces, bracelets, whatever your heart desires. Always been afraid to wear those boots for fear that it'll make your outfit "too much"? Wear it with this! Any accessory goes, but remember ladies, moderation is the key.
.

.
Okay, I know this is brown, but it is close enough to black right? Riiight? Yes of course. Anyway! If you're going out for a drink, just bring this. It can fit your cellphone, and money, 'cause those are your basic necessities.

Daily Shopping Therapy



Fancy a double breasted blouse with puffy sleeves for the workplace? Of course you do. Why? Why not! It's black, it's double breasted, there's a sash at the back, and you can wear it with slacks or a pencil skirt to the office, or jeans for the casual outdoors. And besides, it's on sale. Isn't that reason enough for you shopaholics to get this already.

A Touch of Simplicity



How about another vest! This one has a unique collar; looks like the ones you find on blazers. It also only has two buttons, because some of us cannot be bogged down to button up so many buttons on our vests! What about the buttons on our blouses and jeans! Okay too many buttons have been said.

Tanze Lushes



What a pretty black dress and a pretty model! A simple sleeveless black dress adorned with glittery beads on the collar; and pockets! Good for clubbing, because those pockets can seriously come in useful when you don't want to bother carrying your bag around and dancing. Beware of pickpockets though!

Oozora.Tang



Take one tshirt and a pair of jeans. Boring? Add a long halter vest. Tadaa! Instant spruce up. Need somewhere to put those hands? No problem. Pockets provided!

Oh, Popsicles!



Here's another cincher! Love the brass buckles. The back is weaved too! Now usually we have smocked or normal elastic backs...but this is weaved! And very neatly done too.

Little Buttonx



I've been seeing quite a few retro prints on tshirts in the blogosphere lately...and aren't they fab? It's like the vintage of tshirts. Serena van der Woodsen loves Vespas as well. Don't we all, if it weren't for the manic traffic and air pollution?

Little McQueen



Now this is different! A normal smocked-back spaghetti strapped dress, but you can tie up the cleavage area as well. Make it a halter, or even tie a petite ribbon right there, if you want to leave hints of a cleavage.

Gin & Tonic



A sexy LBD with an awesome back! Love the big big bow, very Blair Waldorf! In fact, this would look like the gown Blair wore to the Debutante ball, except that this isn't a maxi, and the bow is at the back. Nevertheless, this is still one-of-a-kind!

Favourite Boutique



Change the hotpants to something more parent-approved, like this knee-length shorts with suspenders! It looks totally suitable for the office when paired with this pinstriped button up shirt.

Dainty Dresser



Go girly with this petite grey babydoll dress. The print on 'em are sakura flowers (I think!) and you better snap it up quick, cause only the grey one is available!

Clothesville



Ruffles are in as well. Ruffles can either make you look frumpy or girly. Go moderate on 'em and you'll get this pretty piece! Wear a cincher to add pizzazz to an otherwise simple dress.

Dreamz Collectionz



How would you like a maroon coloured pinafore-like dress? It's two piece (the white top is inclusive!) and it has pockets!! Wear this with bare legs or jeans, if you find it too short. Since it looks so sporty, I think it might look good with some low cut sneakers as well.

Handmade Tiny Thoughts



A vintage carousel necklace! This piece comes with extra flourishes; it has a tiny heart pendant and some coloured jewels above the carousel. I like my pendants kooky!

Ablinc



Hit the clubs with this roaring outfit (hahaha I'm so punny). It's figure hugging, so you can show off your curves! It's even padded, so you don't have to feel all sweaty and sticky in your bra. *wiggles eyebrows* Anddd! It's really sexyback!

A Fashion Obsession



Dear Kimmy, is the halter top you looking for something like this? Unfortunately, it's already sold out. :( Calling all online boutique owners! Do you have a piece that looks something like this???

Hello Fashionista



A bejewelled goody perfect for clubbing too! Sparkle and shine in this electric blue top. If the colour can't get you noticed, you can be sure the jewels on your decolletage will!

Miss Capsicum



The first pink coloured vest I've seen! It's even in plaids, so it has that Burberry feel to it. Good news - the ruffled top inside is inclusive as well!!

Ultimate Dazzle



More cinchers to add to your collection. Now, most of our cinchers are in brass or some metal-ish substance, right? How about some plastic one for a change? It's probably just me, but the white one has some serious space vibe going on.

Dandy Showy Dressy



This shop sure has nice pieces! This dress might be an ordinary satin one all by itself, but the shiny pebbles sure spice things up. According to the blog, you can use that string of pebbles to tie it around your back and make it a tube dress! Me likes.

Soak Republic



I don't know if this is still available, because the post states that the silver ring is available but the comments show readers asking for a restock! Nevertheless, isn't this ring cute?? I'm not one to squeal over accessories as such, but this is totally cute!! I've never seen one like this - ever. I'd soo like to get this in my possession.

Miss Glamm



A replica (polite word for pirated. Cough) of a Tiffany necklace. I know it looks rather plain and simple, but that's what made it catch my eye! Totally simplistic, and totally on my list of jewellery.

Little Miss Eggie



They are having sales for this one! It's a two-piece top; not faux, so you can wear one without the other or both together! Look, they've even shown you the different combinations that you can wear. I like this orange one cause it's totally striking and such a happy clappy colour.

Bunny Noo



This is the first eyelet dress that I like! Not that I have anything against eyelets, just that I couldn't seem to find a design (for the dress) that I actually like. It has cap sleeves which elongates your arms, and the length is just nice for demure but yet socially acceptable. At least, I think it is.

Fashion Splash



How about a bubble-hem empire waist top? It even has big big buttons and a slightly low cut to emphasise that cleavage. Cute! I'd pair this with some light blue jeans and espadrilles.

The Attire's Attic



The model for TAA always looks good in everything! I'm so jealous. But no matter, this top can be worn off-shoulder, or not! Long enough to hide those hips and blue enough to brighten your shorts.

Dandy Showy Dressy




This will look nice for prom! Just a bit shiny to add to that elegance - and may I point out that the top is something different?? I do like the colour too, a nice change from the black dress. Pair this with some killer heels, accessories and a clutch and you're good to go!

Simply Pretty Things



Back to basics. How about a simple plain smocked tube top? If you're daring or petite enough, you can pull this off as a mini dress! Looks good with jeans or tights, whichever you like. This is a shade of blue which I hardly see around the blogosphere!

Elegant Extravaganza



The holiday season is here, so get into the mood for the beach! For once, let us ditch the girly charms like hearts, stars, and whatnots. Get this seaside inspired charms; the bucket's handle can actually move! Too cute.

The Cute Closet



My favourite desserts are ice cream. But I'm sure cupcakes and coffee will do as well. They've updated with more tshirts! Quick, go check it out now!!

The Kooky Thing



Now this is the first of its kind. A bird in a cage! Want to make a subtle statement to your parents? Wear this. *cough*

The Sticker Monster



Breathe new life into your gadgets by blinging -or as Xia Xue would say, zhng! - them. If you, like me, have an undeniably scratched-to-death phone but can't change it, bling it up to make it look newer and hide them scratches! Or if you just like your phone to look pretty and shiny, encrust them with these diamantes. They come in a variety of colours and patterns, and it's easy for you to stick 'em on!

Bebel Nina



How about a sheer flowy top for that Sunday afternoon outing? Casual without being too frumpy, it's nice to wear in our hot weather! If you're afraid of it being too transparent, wear a spaghetti, halter or tube inside.

Bambee Dear



Monochromatic stripes! I love the black-grey-white combination. Very brooding and mysterious. Wear this during your cold lectures and you don't need to bring a jacket along! Wear it as a mini dress too if you're petite enough.

Lush

How about this for a Grecian inspired top? Very ethereal looking and it has a faux necklace, so don't need to worry about this top being too plain!
.

.
We all love shorts. This one looks formal enough to wear to lectures, that is, if your college/uni allows shorts in their dress code. If they don't - fret not! Pair this with tights and a long cardi and they can't say no more!

floral madness

I initially wanted to go with the title "flower power", but that's too overused. This entry's theme will be all about floral designs! Because floral equals girly, and we all like to be girly once in awhile, if not all the time.

Vibrant Swirls



Here is yet another kimono, with black and white florals. And if my eyes don't deceive me, I think that there's a drawstring there?? So you can tighten the waistline without having to put on a cincher! The sleeves are puffy too, to add to the girlishness.

Kiss and Tell



This is too cute! If you look at them from an aerial point of view it looks as though you're just wearing a big puffy flower! These would so fit the beach, complete with a bikini and a pareo.

Charm Secret Garden



And we have another kimono. This one looks pretty in giant flowers of purple and yellow. Those purple flowers kind of look like lotus flowers, right? I like!

Thy Closet



Yesss! Another floral bf shirt! Oh but I think I should call 'em oversized shirts, cause the whole point of bf shirts being called so is 'cause they're masculine, right? This one looks all oriental and sexy paired with some shorts. If you find it too long, you could always tie the hem up and make it sexy sexy.

Sugerkins



Flowers against a black background...no wonder it's called Midnight Forest. I envision this on a dinner night out complete with a shawl and an updo.

Ancient Orchids



Purple and flowery! This one is a restock, and they're not going to restock anymore, so if you like this, quickly get your hands on it!!

Keaw's Paradise



Satin top with colourful flowers against a black background again. Looks like the Midnight Forest, except it's a top and less revealing. Pair this with jeans and heels and you're ready to go out.

hammer pants, harem pants, drop crotch pants, whatever you like


Picture credited to Men's Rag.com

Do your balls hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie 'em in a knot?
Can you tie 'em in a bow?
Can you throw 'em over your shoulder like a continential soldier?
Do your balls hang low?

What is this seemingly new trend of redefined harem pants? I mean, I found harem pants okay, but this! This is totally unflattering! Who wants to look like they have skinny legs and a dropping ass or crotch?

Oh, don't let me get to you. I am only stating my bizarre opinion. If you're all for it, go right ahead. I just don't like to look like my ass is drooping.

Sorry for the late entry today ladies. Was out the whole day with the parents. Anyways! This round will not fail you. :)

Teamo



A round of pre-orders. How about some flats for a change from those tiring high heels? The rose is totally adorable and made out of cloth, I think! What better way to prowl the large shopping malls we have here in KL than with some comfy flats?

Jovy's Wardrobe



A pinafore top! First one I'm seeing that's in this funky design. Guess what ladies? The grey sleeveless top that the model is wearing inside is inclusive of the dress! So you don't need to bother looking for another top to match this baby.

Lawa-Lawa


Hello, hello! A floral maxi dress that I can actually tolerate! I love the gradual diminishing flowers as it ascends the top of the dress. And may I say that is a lovely shade of purple?? I give two thumbs up for this!

Rose Cottage



How lovely, another pinafore! This one is striped and totally reminds me of a sailor's outfit even though there isn't a hint of blue on it. It's not too low so you can wear this dress on its own without pairing something inside of it!

Dorfbury



Vests like these are like blazers - they instantly make a non-formal top look formal, thanks to its pinstripe design. The back is smocked, so you don't need to worry about it not fitting. You can also wear it over a button up shirt to make it more fitting, especially for the skinny girls who have trouble finding a button up that doesn't actually hang loose on you.

Infinite Fashion



Remember what I said about bright splashes of colours being in? Check out this red shorts! Lately all the colours I've seen are bright yellow, hot pink, bright blue, bright green, but hardly red! So this is a nice change from the common colours that Sg Wang sells, eh?

Round Bean



Pardon me, but I've always found the lock and key concept a bit perverse. But it's just me. So don't worry about it. Anyway, the lock and key has always been referred to in relationships, what being you-have-the-key-to-my-heart etc etc etc. Cliche. So let's have a twist! How about there are many many keys to my heart?? Hahaha kidding. Nonetheless, the keys are extremely adorable. I love miniature pendants/charms/whatnots!

Garde-Robe
.


Yay, they've finally updated. Sadly with only one item so far. Anyway! Isn't it great how this satin top can be worn in a casual or formal environment? Plus, you can't be accused of revealing too much skin - it's only sleeveless for crying out loud! And it's satin - shiny.

Se.xx.y
.


Hello, cute-vertically-striped-dress-that'll-make-me-look-taller! Those stripes you see are actually sequins! And it's white too. Nice combinations to wear for clubbing, sequins and white! Plus, it's not too low cut so no worries about perverts trying to talk to your chest instead of your face.

Here are the latest few to pop up in the blogosphere:

Dressing Attic



Such an innocent yet sexy dress! It's like a wolf in sheep's clothing; at one glance it looks like a totally innocent white mini dress. But then, take a look at the hem and you can see that there are buttons there; real buttons! Which means it can be unbuttoned and voila! A sexy slit in the side of your dress.

Chubby A Bit



This cutie reminds me of a candy cane. What better way to get into the Christmas mood than with a candy cane dress?? Just looking at this makes me feel like sucking on one already.

Trendy Hunt



I've always loved the touch of velvet. So soft and nice! Sadly velvet has always been linked to old things, but no more! This velvet top looks great paired with that white shorts, and it even has faux button details at the hem of this top. If you're petite, this could do as a extremely mini dress as well.

Bunny Noo



More is less. Cover up in this flowy fabric, but its semi transparent material leaves the rest to imagination. Do wear something inside though, not just your bra. You want to create a sexy image, not slutty. ;)

Urban Closet



Hello, maxi dress that isn't floral! These sort of dresses keep on creeping up in the blogosphere lately. I would want to call 'em tri-coloured dresses, but the thing is they're more than three colours already. So...what's the name for 'em?

The Shoplifters


This is too cool! Lanyards made out of measuring tapes!! Aaah I'd totally replace this one with the fugly piece of string my uni calls lanyard. They even have it in pink!
Continue Reading...

the animal in you

Get all out and roaring in animal prints! But let's save PETA a complaint and make it faux animal skin yeah?

My Shopping Spree 2



Carry this zebra printed bag like a tote, or like a sling. All I know is that it's big enough to put my stuff inside and look cool.

D Lookin Glass



Now let us not limit ourselves to just animal skin motifs. Get this pop art inspired doggy tshirt and spend your day out frolicking in the sun!

Ruby Dutchess



This here is just a teaser for you ladies. When they will update these with more detail is beyond me, but do get excited first! Who doesn't like mini skirts?? Shame on you. Get fierce with this skirt and some black tights. To look totally chic, don a black long sleeved turtleneck and some secretary-like glasses to complete that artistic mod look.

The Envelopes



It's amazing how many varieties there are in tights these days! I prefer tights to leggings though; they don't make your legs look shorter and chunkier. Ever notice how pants/leggings that hit at the ankles make you look just that??

Bag Lovers



How about a zebra inspired clutch? Just nice for evening dinners paired with a simple but elegant dress. Nothing like outstanding accessories to bring out an outfit.

Stop Shop Splurge



Chic enough to wear to the office! Why choose a block colour dress and be totally boring when you can be sexy in leopard prints? Pair this with or without tights and some pumps to complete the look.

Dress to Kill



Couple sweaters, how lovely! I always see couples wearing matching tshirts (sometimes the exact same) and I think, how tacky! But then again, when you are a part of a couple, sometimes you just wanna tell the world that you're in love, and he's your guy. Which girl doesn't like a boyfriend who follows orders?

Avenue Boutique


Zebra and leopard prints have always been common. Lately I've been seeing giraffe prints on bags! I wonder when they'll make their debut on clothes. Get yourself ahead in these clutches. I personally like the green one, it's something different!
Continue Reading...

all that glitters is gold

As the title suggests, this post will be all about glittery, shimmery, and shiny things! Which girl doesn't like shiny except for the oil on her face?

Hong's Fashion Wardrobe



First up is a shiny charm bracelet with a miniature jewellery box! The jewellery box can even be opened, but it's so tiny so God knows what can be stored inside. Tiny ear studs maybe?

Room 8008



Pink satin sweetheart! Capture the boy's heart with this sweet satin cocktail dress. It'll even look good enough for prom.

Vejae



Wear this as a sleeve top, or an off shoulder top. If you're daring enough, you can even wear this as a short dress. Love the sequin details! It looks as though it's raining sequins on the dress.

Phat Culture



A suitable funky skirt for the office ladies! Ditch that boring navy skirt and wow your colleagues with this shiny high waisted skirt and don a cream coloured shirt with ruffles. ;)

Starlicious



This season is big on colours, as we can all see on the set of GG. Their clothes are never without a splash of vibrant colour. If you're not confident to pull off such a bright colour, tone it down by wearing a dark jacket or cardi.

A Fitting Room Boutique



This one spells s-e-x-y with a capital S! If I didn't know better I'd have thought it was a satin nightgown. Nevertheless, this one is perfect for a dinner date with that lovely boy.

Fit U Up



Mini dresses are perfect for showing off those great legs. For the petites, wear this with some strappy high heels and you'll have the illusion of long leggy legs! The U-neck on this dress funks up an otherwise boring floral dress.

My BFF



Get all eyes on you during that pool party in this little polka dotted bikini. No worries about it not fitting, 'cause the strings there are for you to tie 'em up as tight as you can go!

Absolutely Irresistible


Forget the Little Black Dress, go with a Little Brown Dress instead! It's classy and feminine, and the colour suits our Asian skintone. Pair it with a basic cincher and some strappy stilletos and you're good to go!

La'Belle Xtra



Mismatched studs! This reminds me of the little playthings that came with my Barbies. So uber cute.

Bubbles Shoppe



You're cold, but you don't wanna cover up that cute little outfit you're wearing. What better way to keep warm than to pair that cute little outfit with an equally cute little jacket? Try wearing this jacket over a totally girly dress for that rockstar look!

My BFF



Preloved goodies again! I am totally digging this bubble skirted mini dress. A reminder ladies; bubble skirts are not exactly flattering on stocky legs. Try wearing flowy skirts that hit just above the kneecaps.

Classy Wardrobe



If it looks like a cardigan over a button up shirt to you, we both have been deceived. It's actually a faux two piece top. The inside shirt is actually sewn on to the cardigan! Definitely something for the office ladies. To spice up this top, add a splash of colour by wearing a totally bright skirt or skinnies. Can you say bright yellow skinnies? An idea for those who don't want to wear it inside the office would be to pair this with a pair of bright shorts! Tie the hem of the top so that it's not too long, and voila! Instant style.

Clothes Bucket



Hello, oxford booties! Nothing spells preppy and chic like a pair of black and white oxfords, and you'll surely rock that Blair Waldorf inspired look with these darlings.

Little McQueen



Fancy going goth? Complete that look with this pair of fluffy black rose earrings. Who says you can't be fashionable when you're gothic?

Novie



I love the prints on this dress! Is it me or is there a growing trend of having doodle-inspired prints on clothes? I remember seeing my friend wearing a tshirt with doodle like prints on 'em. I fell in love with them rightaway! Seeing it on a tube dress is equally as good, if not fantastic.

Glam Avenue



From the front, it may look like your average sequinned sleeveless top, but wait till you see the back of it! Check out their site and you'll see how amazing the back is. It brings the song "Sexyback" to a whole new level. ;)

Hello people! Sorry I'm a bit late, but here are my reviews for today!

Velvet Ribbon



This is such an awesome blazer! It could be a simple white blazer all by itself, but the gold faux buttons really funk it up! Here's a look to try: wear a simple tshirt and this blazer over it, shorts, a pair of low cut sneakers and if possible, an anklet. A clash of formal and casual wear! I got the idea from lookbook.nu, do check it out!

Cat in a Bowl



I am digging this Victorian inspired piece. A high necked collar with frills and a ruffled sleeve! And just not to make it too uptight and conservative, the decolletage area is semi transparent. Totally reminds me of sipping some Earl Grey with authentic teacups in a garden.

Jen's Closet



When I see this dress, somehow or rather I'm reminded of the famous Givenchy dress that Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Now I know that dress is a maxi and this is a cocktail dress, but doesn't it give off the same vibe? Or maybe I'm just hallucinating. Good news - the rose cincher comes free with the dress!

Mellow Trend



Preloved clothes again, ladies. The good thing about having a tight hem in a dress? No worries about perverted winds blowing your skirt ala Marilyn Monroe! Lucky the dress isn't all totally tight, otherwise we'd be afraid to eat in them.

Iccy House



I've been seeing these kind of dresses in a few shops; the dress is block colour, but the hem has stripes of colours that totally stands out. Might this spark a new trend? I like the boat neck; gives off the illusion of wider, nicer shoulders.

LDR Collection



One of the things I like about Anna Sui is that their packaging are always so vintage girly! Doesn't this remind you of the mirror that the Beast gave Belle in Beauty and the Beast? Even though it's not a magical mirror, I'd love to see myself in this beauty (I meant the mirror).

Bouncing Bananas



Favourite snacks when we were kids. Ah, I vaguely remember buying sweets that would pop and crackle on my tongue as soon as they reached contact with liquid. Actually, don't we still eat those tidbits?? I know I still love my Pocky (actually, Rocky for my case) and KitKat!

Strawberries and Tea



I love my halters, racerbacks, spaghettis and tubes. But I hate getting stopped in uni for wearing such revealing item of clothings! (I know, what a prick) What better way to shut their trap than to wear a cardigan over it? Better make it one that's funky looking too, like this flowy drape.

Ministry of Clothes


.
I have yet to don the entire Japanese schoolgirl outfit! All I am lacking is the courage and confidence to pull it off. And of course, a cheap pair of decent knee-length socks. The ones I see offline (in reality shops) are totally absurd! RM40 for a pair of socks and they aren't even normal looking. This one retails for RM10. So totally worth it.

You know I love you. ;)

I don't have anything to say this time! Happy reading my reviews. :)

Like Seriously



Every girl should own at least one scarf. Yes, I know we don't have winter or cold weather, but there's the occasional cold rainy day! And, the impossibly cold lecture halls. My favourite way of wearing a scarf is with a tshirt and jeans, and maybe some pumps. Way to funk up a casual outfit!

Jolly Dolly



What. Are. Those. Prints?? I don't know what you call them, but they definitely look funky. Funky enough that borders on coolness! And I daresay those gladiator heels actually matches the dress.

Joan Bead Shop



I used to really like Swarovski crystals on my cellphone straps, till it scratched the life out of my cellphones. And wasn't there a year when these crystals were in the height of fashion?? We saw them everywhere; earrings, bracelets, cellphone straps, keychains, etc etc. But I must say, I've never seen an earring quite like this before. Can it be categorized as dangly earrings? But then, it's not that dangly. Heart this piece. It's definitely different. And which girl can argue with pink??

Haute Diva



A preloved shop. This tshirt I like! Different radios resembling pop art, minus the boxes and colours.

Clothes For Fun



I know I've said before that button up shirts are uptight. But don't you just like it when the basic button up throws in a little twist for you? Check out the sleeves - there are three buttons there. Besides, nothing spells casual smart than a button up paired with distressed denim.

Candy Treats



Wear it up or off-shoulder, you decide. I like how chic this is - the flowers at the hem are totally not the innocent-girly type. Guess what? The cincher is totally free with the outfit!

A Touch of Simplicity



Prom's around the corner, ladies. Get this white clutch with a removable diamante strap. Careful not to spill anything devastating on it, or you'll cry trying to remove the stain.

Ablinc



Fancy playing Marilyn Monroe during your prom? Keep in mind to wear some nice clean undies, ladies. That skirt is light enough to fly up in the slightest of winds. And may I suggest that the clutch above goes well with this dress!

45°C Workshop


Finally, finally, finally, a bf shirt that isn't plain, in plaids or gingham. I was getting bored with all those squares already. The rose design even looks abstract; so don't need to worry about getting all flowery.

i'm too sexy for my guy

Although most guys we know don't do online shopping for clothes, it's actually great that there are a few online boutiques that sell men's apparels. Besides, admit it. We love guy who know how and where to shop, 'cause all ladies love a well-dressed guy.

However, after scouting the very minority of these boutiques that sell men's apparels, I find that quite a few sell clothes which are...not nearly very nice? But perhaps it's just from my point of view. I am not male, after all.

Anyway, who says only guys have to shop for men's clothes??? We girls can do it for our boyfriends. *wiggles eyebrows*

Phlox Studio



Females are such blessed creatures. We have such a diverse range of wear, that we can't possibly choose! Heck, we can even wear men's clothes (hello, bf shirt!). So unfortunately, guys are stuck with tshirts and pants. You could wear a skirt though, we ain't gonna stop you. ^^ This tshirt here is from the old stocks of Phlox Studio, but it's got a nice design! Canned drinks. Reminds me a bit of pop art, but a tad funkier. It's still available in black and white, but I really like this yellow one. :(

Lacquer & Lace



This shirt is great for presentations, or the working men. Ah, but it's not your average button up shirt. If you look closely, there are three buttons grouped together! It also comes with a sash for you to tie around your collar like a bow-tie style, and it also comes with a detachable hoodie. Thank God for the detachable sash, 'cause that thing is a little gay.

Anonymous blogshop. I'm not gonna say which!






My boyfriend's a break dancer, but hell would freeze over before he ever put this tshirt on. Even if he decided to buy it (the horror!) I'd cut it into little pieces and burn it. It's hideous! Who in their right mind would buy a tshirt with the KLCC towers emblazoned on it? And what's with the shoes below the tower? The tower can walk??? I mean, I'm not opposed to patriotism, but make it a little more tasteful, yeah?

The Apparels



The average guy would be lazy to shop. This jacket would be perfect them. Why? It's reversible! If you get tired of the outer colour, simply overturn it and tadaa - a new jacket. Do keep in mind to wash it though, guys. Nothing's ickier than sweat stains on the outside of your thick jacket.

Wearever U Like!

Sigh. If only my guy was metrosexual enough to don this top! Looks like not only the ladies get attention when they wear a low cut top, nudge nudge. This is unbelievably sexy! But guys, if you have a scrawny chest, I'd advise you to stay away from it.

Hello, ladies! The noon is here and so is the stuffy weather; I am feeling pooped even though I have not done anything major. What I have been doing is looking out for stuff to review! Check it out.

Pumpkin



When I saw this, I got freaked. Pointy heeled gladiators! With all the faux leather and buckles and straps going on, it reminded me of a dominatrix. Can you hear the whip cracking already? Usually gladiators come in flats and espadrilles, but I think this is the first time I've seen one so pointy heeled! I'm not a fan of gladiators 'cause they make my legs look shorter, but if they're your cup of tea, go right ahead.

Fashion Flakes



I got excited upon stumbling across this! I've been wanting a smocked tube for so long, but all the plain ones were too...plain. This has buttons, and even a ribbon so that you can tie it to the front, or even use it as a halter! Me likes.

Serendipity Lush



Here's one for the office ladies, or for the presentations. Satin, ruffled and elegant. Pair this with a pair of slacks or pencil skirt, and perhaps some secretary-looking glasses for the professional look!

A Model Studio



This one is also suitable for the OL. It's a little kimono inspired, but I dig the knot below the bustline. You don't have to worry about needing to wear something inside, 'cause that tube you see is a faux tube, meaning it's already stitched inside. Wear it on its own or with some chic tights.

1 Babe Shop



I seem to have stumbled upon quite a few of the OL suits today. This dress is a faux two-piece. From the front, it looks as though the model is wearing a skirt paired with a top and a matching cardigan. But from the back, you can see it's actually a one piece dress! Tie the sash at the back to create an illusion of a waist, so that you don't need to trouble yourself with a cincher. I don't think the inner piece comes together with the dress, so you may need to use your own. All the better! You can mix and match. ;)

Minnie Bunnie Studio


A never-worned preloved skirt. You know how people say wearing white makes you look big? Don't believe 'em. With its frayed hem, this skirt is so casual! Pair it with a tshirt and flip flops, and you're good to go ala Laguna Beach.

makhluk gorgon


.
This thing needs deserves an entire post by itself to be reviewed!
.
.
Okayyy. What exactly is this? It kind of reminds me of the little pillow neck rest my dad uses in his car. According to the blog, it's handmade; and its referred to as Gorgonites.
.

.
You can use it as car accessories, keychain or even - get this - buttons! At one glance I thought this thing looked kinda creepy. I mean, it's kinda like DooDolls, only that they all come in the same shapes; the only thing that distinguishes them is their colour and eyes.
.

.
Then again, it's kinda different. At second glance it looks kinda...adorable. No kidding. Though I would not want this thing looking at me while I sleep, it'll be cool, when people look at it with utmost horror and ask you what that thing is.
.
You can then reply coolly, "Why, it happens to be a Gorgonite. They're the new DooDolls, didn't you know?"
.
.
There's nothing like being the leader in a crowd of followers. ;) Get yourself one now at http://makhlukgorgon.blogspot.com/!

Hey all! I was at Absolute Bazaar yesterday, but only for a short while. Unfortunately, I went quite late, so most of the good stuff were already gone. I did get myself a cincher from Oh, Popsicles! though. The guy there was really nice! I think he must be the owner's boyfriend. So sweet ^^

Anyway, I can't seem to find many apparel that strikes my fancy today, hence the very late update. So sorry, guys. Here's a few pieces that deserve some review. Enjoy. :)


The Kooky Thing



.
I'm not really a big fan of loose clothing, as my ahem, assets aren't that big, plus I'm quite petite so it'll make me look even more petite than I am. This one is really nice though. I like the cute buttons, and I suppose we all need some loose material to give our body some air sometimes.
.



This shop here is pretty new. Here's a different kind of cardigan than the standard few that seems to be everywhere these days. You fasten it with a sash, so there's no need to be fussy and button up everything. It's knitted, so it's guaranteed to keep you warm.

Autumn Closet
.


I love my clothes with versatility. Well worth the money, yes? This one can be worn as a tube dress, a bohemian skirt, or even a high-waisted skirt! The dark blue is fab - a nice change from black.

The Cute Closet

.
Move over Baby Milo - hello, Bearbrick! I like tees to go with my jeans and sneakers on days when I don't feel like dressing up - especially those pesky 8am lectures. What better way to look cool than with an Ipod-toting Bearbrick?

announcement!




Hey people! I have finally made myself a banner, so you can link me if you want to. Details are on the left sidebar. Do drop me a note on my chatbox if you link me, so that I can link you back.

Another thing. I noticed that most have left their ads in the wrong chatbox, so I have taken the liberty to put the ads chatbox above the message's chatbox, to avoid it from happening again. Do keep in mind to not leave your ads in the wrong chatbox yeah? Thank you! :)

kimono fever

Love it or hate it, kimonos are all the rage now. They come in so many pretty designs it's getting harder and harder to choose one! I've yet to get one myself. :X

Raid Moi's Closet



Before you scream bloody murder about the wrong shop, yes, this picture is from Rainbowmallows. But this shop *points at title* is a preloved shop, so the owner is selling this girly piece off. It comes in a pale purple too, but this white one has never been worn.

Tictactoe



That's a nice combination of colours. Amazing how those clashes actually look good together, no? Show off your cleavage in this piece. :P

Lush Serendipity



This one looks almost Japanese...but then again, kimonos are Japanese. The red is so bright and happy looking. I'd say this will be a nice piece for Chinese New Year, right? It may be a little too early to shop for CNY...but any excuse to shop will do!


Clothes Bucket



They have finally updated~! The boob part is intertwined; something different than the usual v-neck kimono. I like how only one side of the top is chock-full of designs, leaving the other side simplistic. Perfect with jeans.

Rainbowmallows



Stuff from Rainbowmallows sure get sold out quickly. :( This is its last piece! Hurry and get this funky psychedelic patterned top before it gets sold out!!!

Buckle Buckle



Another Japanese-looking kimono top. The contrast of the red against the black is enchanting, and I think it's made out of satin. Shimmery and heavenly against the skin!

You know you love me. :)

Updated with a few of the latest in the blogosphere. Check it out:

What to Wear?



This shop sells preloved clothes. I like racerback tops; they're sporty looking, plus they show off your torso (and boobs! *snigger*). This particular one is long as well, so it hides those flabby thighs. It might be a plain top all by itself, but looky, it has a satin ribbon attached! Tadaa - instant spruce up.

Fashion Catcher




If only our country had cold weather. I would get myself this, but I'd risk getting a heatstroke. Nonetheless, it looks fab paired with skinnies and boots as well. If you're going on a holiday somewhere cold, do get this! Can you spell s-t-y-l-i-s-h, anyone?

Shopaholics Unite!




I'm not a fan of vintage clothing, but this piece I can tolerate - and even like! So ladylike, makes me wanna pair this with a straw hat and run around a park barefooted under the light rain with my love...ahem. Sorry, I got carried away.

My Shopping Spree 2




Okay, this is not one of their latest. In fact, they haven't been updating. :( Where are you guys?! Anyway, this piece looks so good by itself, and even better on bare legs. The dark shade of purple is also elegant, I like!

Wild Berry Kiss




We spent 11 years trying to avoid wearing our hideous and unflattering uniform - the pinafore. But then again, it looks like we do miss those times, don't we? At least we won't be stuck in an unflattering cut, solid block colour pinafore. We get to choose! And look good in it for once! This one has big ass buttons, and pockets. I love my dresses with pockets. The white tee comes together with this pinafore, so no worries about being too revealing.

Marshmallow




Is this what they call the "tulip dress"? It's pretty, isn't it? White, satin and all shiny...ooh! This cocktail number shows off your legs and shoulders, so flaunt 'em.

Cat in a Bowl




Goodbye trucker caps, hello berets! French and classy, nothing like a good hair acccessory to glam up that basic tee-and-jeans combo. Unlike caps, these babes won't make your hair look all funny after you remove them.

Mini Pose




Oh, my. Such a demure dress (save for its short hem)! Perfect for a date with the boyfriend without looking too overdressed. If you find it a little too short for your liking, try wearing tights or jeans with it. ;)

Absolute Bazaar will be held tomorrow at 3k Inn! See you there, ladies. :)

bagged

Hey, ladies! Sorry I updated a teensy bit late today; I was out the whole day, thus the lack of internet. This entry is gonna be all about bags, bags, bags! Remember what I said about how a girl can never have too many bags? Well, here you go.

Eye Catchers



How long has it been since we carried a knapsack around our backs? If you're not still in high school, chances are it's been more than a year. Remember when we phased out our knapsacks for sling bags in middle of high school 'cause they were deemed more "cooler"? Geeky is the new cool now, ladies. Besides, a knapsack ain't so hard on the shoulders compared to other type of bags, save for the fanny pack. :P

Bebel Nina



I remember spotting a giraffe-printed bag in one of those quaint little shops in Asian Avenue, Sunway Pyramid. I totally regretted not buying it, 'cause I can't find it back now. :( Although this bag here is from the older stocks of Bebel Nina, it's still for sale!

Audrilicious


Prom is coming up soon. If you're wearing an elegant but free-from-embellishments dress, this is the perfect accompaniment for you. Way to glam up your entire outfit in an instant! However, if your outfit is already sparkly, stay away. I repeat: stay awayyyy. There's nothing worse than being over-flashy that borders on tacky.


Bag Lovers





Slipping out of the house for a few minutes to the shops? Going out for drinks at your local mamak but don't wanna bring a huge bag along? Opt for this one! Just nice to fit your wallet, cellphones, and car keys, for the drivers.

Little McQueen





This one is for the college/uni girls on the go. Simple and fuss free, black goes with any outfit. It's even big enough to fit a laptop and more, so don't go hunting around for a suitable bag when you're all bleary in the morning.
Or if you're going for the preppy look, plaids are your best bet. I like how the dark turqoise goes with the faux leather; gives it a British vibe.



Feeling happy? Tell the world in this bright pink bag! Or feeling down? Brighten up your day with this happy clappy colour. Nothing like a good dose of reverse psychology to perk things up. Plus it's quilted; chances are it's soft. Good substitute for a pillow during those boring lectures...*cough*


Wanna be funky? This cute bag brings out your inner child! Bring it to escapades to the beach, zoo, or water theme parks.


VIP Closet


Going for a short trip? Ditch that uptight trolley bag; opt for a carrycase! Less chances of it getting lost in the check-in, and doesn't it gives you security to know that your belongings are close to you? If things get too heavy, there's a sling for you to hook on.
.
Now I'm off to scout for more stuff to review in the next post! Ta :)

And I'm back again...with mooooreee!

Don't you just love window shopping?

Shopping Princess




I cannot emphasise how much I love empire waistlines! This one comes printed with cherries. I've seen quite a few cherry-printed tops, but most of them looks pretty childish cause the cherries are printed way too small and too many. This one looks very English rose-like to me. It comes in black and white, but the sash (it's detachable!) for the black one is in black. Personally, I think the white one looks innocent and the black one looks ladylike classy. ;)

Dress to Kill




A girl can never have too many bags. And the bigger, the better! What with all the things we need to carry around with us like our equally big ass wallet, multiple cellphones (one for each network!), camera, make up bag, tissue paper, 3-fold umbrella - oh the list goes on! - we'll need a big bag to carry it all. Better make it one that'll never go out of fashion too, like this simple looking bag.

Lovely Paperdoll





When we were in high school, we were dying to wear big ass, dangly earrings just because we weren't allowed to wear those to school. Then we attended college and uni, and we've had our equal dose of big ass earrings. Time to give those earlobes a rest ladies, here's a pair of really cute studs!! They're just too sweet to be missed.




.

Ain't this something different? Ever heard of pocket watches? Now it comes in the form of a necklace!! Or a keychain, whichever you prefer. How cool is it, a real moving watch hung at your neck? It looks so vintage too!

I'm off for today. G'nite!

naughty naughty

This entry will be 18sx - be warned!


I'm pretty tired of going through shops after shops of practically the same clothes. So this entry will be dedicated to lingerie, underwear, bikinis, and the usual stuff! I'll try not to post too revealing pictures. ;D


A Lolita's Diary





This online boutique specializes in kinky wear. *snigger* It's too bad I'm 6 days late for a review; they have the awesomest halloween costumes...sexy ones, that is. But no matter, Christmas is next month! This is probably the most modest one there is, there are sexier ones guaranteed to make your man delirious with excitement.


Jen's Closet




Always dreamed of the French maid look? Here's a sexier and cheaper alternative to the French maid outfit which will cost you hundreds. I'll state the obvious: It won't look good hidden under clothes.
.
.
Fancy something in a sweet colour, with lace, ribbons and flowers? Look no further than this shop. They sell a variety of lingerie, and even some nice bikinis! Too bad their bikinis are all sold out though. :(
.


.
Bikinis (...or are they undies?) for sale! Sooo many candy colours to choose from...you'd be spoilt for choices. Quick, take your pick!
Continue Reading...

Afternoon, ladies! Thank you soo much to those online boutiques for dropping by and leaving comments. Being a newcomer in this area, I really appreciate it! Now let's get down to business.
.
.
bLender




Now ain't this a sweet looking top? I like how the straps are thick enough to conceal bra straps (no horrible visible-bra-strap-line!) and the part below the boob area is loose, concealing that tummy after a hearty meal. Plus it's sweet and so totally girly! The boys will fall in love in an instant.


Buckle Buckle



.

What I love about slingbacks - your heels won't slip off! Ever had those embarrassing moments when it's bad enough that you're teetering in your four-inches, and then the shoe slips off? I like the classy white too, it matches anything! And it's not too fancy-dinner-ish like black heels. ;) Best part is that it's peep-toed, so those of us who have unsightly fanned-out toes needn't worry!

French Kiss





This online boutique is so amazing. How is it possible that they are able to make basic clothing look so high fashion??! We all know how sluggish bf-shirts can look. Their photography makes it look...wow. Anyway, I'm not going to talk about bf-shirts! This particular stunner caught my eye! It certainly has the kimono-ish vibe going on, but this is definitely different from the ohers! I looove the hemline! So different it makes me squeal with glee - I want this! Sadly, it's sold out and not restockable...sob! I was too late! Nevermind, a good piece deserves a good review anyways!

Miss Shopaholic's Closet




I like empire waistline tops. The flowy hem totally conceals the lack of a flat tummy, but beware! Choose those with heavy material or you might end up looking pregnant instead. This tube top looks fab, and even though the pattern is flowery, the dull colour tones it down. I like! Pair it with skinnies and stilletos, and you're good to go.



Oh, Popsicles!



.

No matter how you look at it, cinchers are a lifesaver. Bought a dress that doesn't cling to your body, thus making you look like some homeless waif? Cinch that waist, and tadaa! Instant stylishness. Own a button-up shirt that's too loose? (Hello, Interact/Leo uniforms!) Cinch it! So ladies, do your wardrobe some good and invest in a good cincher! A safe bet is to buy those simple looking ones in a solid, easy-to-match colour like black or white. Like the one above!

Beau Monde


.

This site is having a sale! Clothes for RM30 and below omgomgomg!! This one looks totally laidback. When I see this, I envision a Sunday afternoon prowling the streets of KL looking so uber cool. Or even going to uni wearing like that and acting totally cool while everyone's eyes are on you.
Continue Reading...

shop till you drop!

I am so excited 'cause there's gonna be a fashion bazaar happening so near me! Awesome!! Usually it's in KL, or Bangsar, or some equally faraway place that I can't go, so this is really great. x)

Ssh...it's my first time going to one of these kinda events. :X So horribly noob, I know.

Anyway!






If the picture doesn't appear, here are the details:

Date: 8th November 2008



Time: 11am-8pm



Location: 3k inn hotel





That's the map for those who aren't too familiar with the place.

Hope to see you there!

Oh, before I forget, here's a list of all the fashion blogs who'll be setting up stalls there! Our sister in shopping has kindly allowed me to *steal* this list from her blog. Cheers!

This is my 3rd post today. Woot! I'm on a roll here.





Now isn't this a pretty piece! Since most proms are around the corner now, I'd find this very suitable, no? I find the ruffles at the hem of the dress so elegant! Darn, wish I had somewhere to wear this to. :(



Ooh! I likey this cocktail dress! So sailor-like. I am digging the stripes. Plus it has cap sleeves, which totally gives off the illusion of longer and leaner arms.




I've been seeing tights everywhere in uni this year, so I'm surprised they're still coming! Not that I'm complaining. I totally love the idea of wearing tights, especially under shorts and mini skirts, 'cause we're totally not allowed to wear such revealing item of clothings in uni. Looks like this might shut their traps. I'm still not that daring to try it just yet. But maybe I will, seeing there are so many types! Argyles, fishnets, flowery, lacy...but I think I'll test the waters with a plain chic black one. ;)

I love my statement tees. Just pair 'em up with dark jeans and heels for that sexy-covered-up look, or with distressed jeans and a pair of those loveable shabby sneakers for the ultimate casual look. No-fuss and comfy. Which girl doesn't like that?! However, I'd prefer my statement tees to be less shiny so as to not evoke the over-worned Giordano tees vibe.


One word: Ew. Maybe it's those type of clothes which look horrible on a hanger, and fabulous on a body.
Or maybe not. I will not pay RM36 to buy this girly-punk-Avril-Lavigne-gone-wrong top.



Well, this looks something like my four-year-old cousin would never wear. Cupids like those should only be seen on notepads and bookmarks with bad English and Chinese poems that I'll never understand.

Their dresses are going for only RM30! So totally worth it for a dress. My personal favourite is this white number, as you can wear it as a tube dress or a halter dress! I heart versatility. It's also casual enough to wear to uni, so people won't think of you as some pretentious girl with a penchant for being overly dressed for lectures. Pair this up with some low cut sneakers for that extreme casual look, or espadrilles for that beachy look.

You know I love you. ;)

I just saw this on Wearever U Like! and totally fell in love with it!!!








More vintage necklaces! I am so digging these kind of necklaces with the kooky-but-cool pendants! Amazing isn't it, just about anything and everything can be models for pendants. The more kooky, the more cool! These little darlings have a tarnished silver look, making it totally vintage! There's the bunny who looks startlingly similar to that of Alice in Wonderland's bunny, and a perfume! Too cute. My personal favourite is this:


A chintz chair! Soooo awesome! It even has little diamantes encrusted at the sides. I can't wait to get my hands on these.

Till I see something else that's fancy, ciao ciao! ;D

Since this is my first ever post, I'll try to be nice. Basically, what I'll be doing here is the same as every other blog that reviews *most* of the blog boutiques in the region; review! I may not be nice at times, but bear in mind that this is just purely, my view. I do not pressure others to think the same way that I do, but if there are any, then hello!



I think I must be through with my tomboy phase, because I absolutely adore dresses now! Maybe there is still a little tomboyish streak in me, but this sporty-looking dress is something that I'm after.



Looky, they even have a similar design for a top. Personally, I hardly look good in long sleeved tops, because I am skinny, and my boobs aren't the biggest around town. Long sleeved tops will just make me look even flatter, and I can hardly find one that's actually fitting for my size. Too bad for me.

If you're like me, long skirts are a no-no. Especially frumpy ones. But I suppose it's an essential to have at least one long skirt in your wardrobe for those uptight functions where they find girls in skirts above the knees too revealing. You know what I mean. And I suppose this skirt is not bad looking for a long skirt. I mean, I've seen worse. It's not new enough to be modern, and not old enough to be vintage, so it's stuck in limbo becoming...ugly.

Now this is something that I would never be caught wearing outside my house. Not even inside my house! No offense, but it's really tacky. Wearing tops with numbers boldly emblazoned on the chest is so pre-teen, plus the idea of it being a cropped top ups the tackiness value. Now if the inner top was to be sold, I'd gladly wear it. Alone. Without the cropped top, thank you very much.

This is definitely something that caught my fancy. It's long, but not too long to be a trenchcoat (something too overly dressed for our weather), and not too short to hide those of us with slightly more meat on the thighs than we'd like. If you don't like to button it, simply tie the sash around! Plus it has pockets, which is earns extra brownie points from me! Perfect for those icy lecture halls.




This, my darlings, is purrfect for those crummy presentations where we have to dress formally for. If you, like me, dislike wearing those prissy button-up shirts, then you'll love this. Pair it up with some well-pressed slacks or an A-line skirt and you're good to go! Better still, this knitted top can also be worn casually, just like in the picture! Don't you just love versatile tops? I know I do.

There they are, the famous fashion blog who brought in the Blair Warldorf dress! In the exact same design! As much as it looked great on Leighton Meester, I highly recommend those with slightly more meat on the hips than preferred to stay away from this dress like the plague. Now I love GG fashion as much as the other trendy girl, but it is one thing to follow the fashion blindly, and another thing to be trendy yet wearing something that looks good on you. Don't follow blindly now, girls.
Till the next post, ta!
