At first glance, this totally looked like a nurse's outfit. But a better look shows that this dress is more suited to the offices. Find it a bit too plain for you? Wear a cincher!


I like the red clutch. It's very lolita-ish, but yet has a formal elegance to it. And I know you girls like the chain and ribbon weaved chain. Looks good with the classic LBD.


Guess who's having sales? These skirts are going for only RM30! What a steal for such gorgeous preppy skirts. Hurry before you miss out on them. ;)



When I first saw this fairy Prada bags on Kinky Blue Fairy, I was enthralled by them. For once, a designer good that I actually like! I've never seen a long purse with that design though. I'm currently looking for a purse, and this one has a good chance of making my cut. Teehee. 


Bright floral tank tops for only RM18?? A pity that this one is already reserved, but they still have some available! Long tops are great for those who want to wear leggings as pants. Covers the ass to conceal that VPL - visible panty line.

Like the dawn of the dual-toned dresses era, theses "vintage" floral skirts are also plaguing the online shopping scene. With good reason. I know it's almost summer, but florals are very in! If you check out the overseas scene, you can see florals everywhere; dresses, skirts, the works. It's really quite pretty, if you don't overdo it. :) A cute floral mini like this will look great with a tank top (then again, I am always pairing almost everything pattern-y with tank tops). Teehee. Espadrilles too!





Yay, more dual-toned dresses! This batch are sleeveless, and you should definitely check out the variety of designs that she has. I swear, with the amount of dual-toned dresses coming out, you can totally start a collection already. 





Check out the range of bows she has here! She has pussybows and small bows. Bows you can wear on your head, and bows you can wear on your clothes. Be creative. Remember that basic top you have? Jazz it up with this bow! Or be totally different, and wear this bow on your head with a totally tomboy-ish ensemble. 




 

I couldn't decide which to review between this two, so I picked both! And I like them both cause it's different than what you'd usually see in the market. That cardigan is so not argyles, but yet I don't know what kind of print to call them. That triangle-geometrical thingamajig? Haha. A fabulous addition to your wardrobe. And that dress? The so-called boyfriend tee is so out; this plaid shirtdress is in! I like the cutting of the sleeves the length, the sash, and the fact that you can wear this as an overcoat as well. :D




 

I'll be honest. I only posted up the picture of the back view of the dress because I totally dig that tattoo. =X But! But! This dual-toned dress is real awesome too. I especially like the skirt part; falls really nicely on the hips, eh? Although I think I'd wear this sans tights, partly because of the weather and partly because I think this dress looks better with bare legs. :D






What is this! I wanted to review that bra t-shirt but it was already sold out and not restockable. :( Sad, it's almost the same as the one Cheesie wore in Australia. :( Oh well, this b&w vintage cars t-shirt is pretty cool as well! They'd look totally rad with skinny jeans and a vest.

The perfect top for the lazy days. Just slip on this comfy and airy top and a pair of denim shorts or jeans, and your favourite pair of flats. Lounge around in your local Starbucks and check out Shopping Critique with the wifi! Tee hee.





Sometimes, we just need an uber vintage bag to dress up a modern outfit. My favourite combination? A pair of your most well-fitting jeans, a baby tee, and this vintage sling bag. Check out the pointy flap and the tan trimmings. Absolutely cool. 





Not a great fan of them super high heels, but I definitely appreciate a beautiful pair of heels. These shiny snakeskin (faux, of course!) peep toed pumps are definitely a heavenly creation. This will look so good with a plain designed dress that's just screaming to be accessorized. If you want to be a little more subtle, wear them with jeans and show off those long legs (thanks to four point freaking two five inches!!). If you wear these to the clubs, your feet will be getting more attention than your upper body thanks to the shine. xD






You absolutely have to check out the various ways they have of wearing this polka dotted thing! I don't even know what to call it, because you can wear it as a top, a dress, a skirt...and what differentiates this smocked tube from other smocked tubes is that you can tie it at the back for some sexy show of skin (if you're wearing it just as a dress, that is). 



I love reading books. :D Any kind of books, really, so long as it's not non-fiction. I have tonnes of bookmarks, but I definitely don't have a metal one like this! This would adorn my book just nicely, seeing as it's so shiny and pretty. Such a cute chair there. Speaking of books, I really need to get some more...



Simple intertwined tube dress but with gradient tones on it! They call it the shimmer dress. How appropriate! I've always liked the simplicity of these intertwined tube dresses, and there are just so many designs! Plain ones, paint splattered ones, shimmery gradient ones...ooh! The choices are limitless. As for this one, it's ready stock! So hurry and get your hands on it. 

Like this combination? Lucky you, cause they're both for sale! I especially like the tank top for its flower and leaves design. They kind of look embossed, don't you think? I'm having an addiction to shorts lately too...must be the hot weather. Oh, how I hope that I'll be able to wear formal shorts during my internship!

Bondage inspired heels with zips. Not to mention they're totally a replica of Jimmy Choo's. Standing at 4.5 inches, they're insanely high I daren't even look at it. Definitely not for the faint hearted and those who are afraid of heights. Tee hee. Best not to colour your toenails with a dark colour though; these heels are fierce and scary enough!





I've always avoided lace undies and thongs like the plague, because I hate how itchy lace can get (especially in the hot weather!) and don't let me get started on butt-flossing. -_- Well well, lucky we have assurance from MST that these undies are totally non-itchy. :D Not to mention there won't be any major wedgie. Nothing is less sexy than wearing sexy undies and constantly tugging at it to be relieved of a butt-floss. And they have it in white. *big wet eyes* White is the epitome of innocence. HAHA how ironic. Innocence in lacy lingerie, indeed.





Okay, this is just so sexy. Bustier top with a flared skirt! If you find it a little too sexy for you, you can always layer, layer, layer! Layer with a top underneath. Or layer with a cardigan over it. Whatever works for you. I also just love those gladiators the model's wearing. *envious*





Plaid shorts! Aah! So totally preppy. I would so pair these with a white tank top, layer my neck with long necklaces and wear sneakers. I'm a sneakers girl. So sue me. :D





As much as I loved Carrie Bradshaw's heels when I saw SATC the movie (how many pairs of those does she have??) I am absolutely terrified at the thought of walking in them. I still teeter in four inches, how humiliating. If only these came in two inches *meek*. Anyways, if you're most comfortable in four inches and don't have these, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?? Go get one already!





Doesn't this just screams hippy at you? I fell head over heels in love with the crazy big colourful sunflower here. Off-shoulder oversized shirts are just so hippy. I'd pair this with a pair of distressed denim shorts here and high tops canvas sneakers! Bring in the braided hairband if you can. ;)






Enter the realm of the non-boring monochromatic office wear! No more wearing white shirts and black pants or boring black pencil skirts that make you look like Parkson's salespeople or any other salesperson at that. Now we have high-waisted pinafores and gorgeous button-up shirts that'll make you look anything but like a salesperson! It'll look totally awesome with lace black tights and white slingbacks.

Clothes For Fun



Okay, this is a little backdated. There is something else I wanted to review, but it's already been sold out. Sad, but this is what happens when you're not up to date by the second. Thankfully, this gorgeous green tube top with frills is still available! The perfect accompaniment to dark jeans and heels for a fuss free dinner date with the boyfriend.

Colour Me Pretty



Surprising how a little colour difference makes two items of the same design look so different. That's the case with this skirt; the brown's all sold out and being restocked, but the black's not sold out yet. Haha. But anyway, this brown plaids skirt has some vintage action going on there. Pair it with a white polo tee and with oxfords for a simple yet nice look.

Shopping Makes Me Feel Better



There's no therapy like retail therapy, and that's why shopping makes us all feel better! Don't you feel a certain high when you manage to get your hands on a particularly gorgeous item? Take this Guess satchel for example. Love the bright and bold floral prints! Plus there are so many compartments. Lovely for a girl like me who has plenty of little knick knacks to stuff in her bag.

1 Babe Shop



Talk about sexy. You can practically go braless in this supersexy halter top because it's padded. With the collars, you can go for the hot secretary look. Okay, I should stop. I'm going to be promoting things that will oppose traditional family values. Anyway, to make this less naughty, pair it with a long skirt.

Sassy Spree



Say hello to Sassy Chic's pre-order site! This short sleeved jacket probably won't serve its purpose for warming you up, but this will be good for covering up skimpy tops. A little sheer, you can show off your skimpy top without being too revealing. Speaking of revealing, I got stopped by the uni's security guard today for wearing a mini skirt. -_-

Ancient Orchids



I've always found the off shoulder outfits to be more sexy than low cut outfits. Somehow, showing off the shoulder is more tantalising and less slutty than showing off your cleavage, don't you think? Here we have a 3/4 sleeved mini dress with a blinged strap to boot! If you find it a little too short for your liking, you could always wear tights with it. Try white! Not leggings though. You want an elegant look, not an aunty look.

Phasionology



I just bought a dress with a similar print from this fabulous shop called Kitschen for the CNY! So it's quite natural that I find this to my liking as well. I've been seeing this flower design like, everywhere. You could wear a tube inside if you're not one to show off cleavage. Since this is a white dress with minimal colours, experiment with different tube colours other than black!

Bows Lover



This babydoll tank is so basic that I love it. Empire waistlines are always handy to cover up that slightly bulging tummy after a heavy meal (though doctors have warned us to not eat a too heavy meal). Plus it's so basic and plain, a nonbasic bottom is called for! This top might go well with that gingham skinnies you've been dying to wear. If you're petite enough, this top might even pass off as a supershort dress, so you can wear coloured or patterned tights.

Sara.My



Ballet flats for the days when your legs feel like they can't take heels no more. It comes in dusty pink too, a colour I can't believe anyone would hate. Well, at least, I think it's dusty pink. Pair with a sundress! Basically this can go with any outfit, except for maxi dresses.

Muakzz



I cannot believe why the owner wants to sell off this gorgeous tank top! I can just imagine this paired with dark wash jeans and gladiator heels. Fierce.

Oriental Sparkles



If chunky stainless steel rings aren't to your taste, will a clay flower ring suit you more? This wire twisted ring is definitely one of a kind. If there's a pink flower, it'll be even more awesome! Then we can make a necklace, a barette, and make it an entire set. Ha.

Midnight Glam



If you haven't gotten your plaid skinnies yet, Midnight Glam is still selling 'em. I prefer this darker shade of plaids, cause they look more preppy imo. Pair it with the babydoll tank top I mentioned above!

JP Beads



This, my readers, is an awesome creation. Purse hooks! A rubber grip comes attached behind the cute flower design you see, and there are hooks that can be extended which you can't see in the picture. How does this work, you ask? Go see the site for a graphic explanation. Haha! I think I explained it a little wrongly before this edit.

Lush



This is yet another backdated item. This awesome tshirt comes in black too, but it's sold out. It's so monochromatic that it just screams for you to pair it with a pair of fiery red shorts, or a bright orange pinafore, or green skinnies...you get my drift.

Like Seriously



Seriously, where do they get their clothes?? They're all so awesome. My most favourite out of the chapter is this sheer long top with an awesome back. I would recommend wearing something underneath it though. This combination with shorts and a green tube underneath is quite fetching. Amazing how I like the cream colour more than the white one though. Perhaps it's because the cream one looks more vintage!

This is going to be yet another backdated post. Full of clothes which came out like days ago (aeons in internet world) and probably already sold out. I actually got all the pictures here but didn't get around to writing a review for it. I blame laziness and procrastination.

Style Me Hot



A bit of chiffon, a bit of roses, and a lot of girlishness. Imo, I think this will be quite the nice choice of wear on a Vday outing during the daytime. Do wear boyshorts for your underwear, cause that material looks very lightweight. You wouldn't want to accidentally flash your date when a gust of wind sweeps by!

Mingxed



There are the rounder iron wrought bird cages I've reviewed, and then there are the creepy, bent looking ones like this! A little morbid looking, but it's just the accessory to wear with black statement tees and distressed denim with sneakers.

Topsy Turvee



Introducing the double breasted blazer! Yeah so we've seen a lot of blazers with nautical gold buttons, but bet you haven't seen double breasted ones! If you noticed, double breasted blazers tend to look even more formal than your regular blazers. I think I should stop using the word double breasted. It's starting to sound a little vulgar. Anyways, I think if you pair this double breasted blazer (here I go again!) with a denim miniskirt and high heels with a knit beanie, it might be a good look.

Fashion Lover



Swap your woven belts for something with a little more design. You can start with this floral and swirls belt! Totally girly, and totally different. I don't think I've even seen this kind of design around, so be the first to start the trend!

My Clothes Affair



If you've tried black tights and moved on to patterned tights, then it's time for you to try patterned and glittery tights! This red plaid tights reminds me so much of a schoolgirl skirt, so please don't pair the two together. An LBD would be okay though. Just not the overly embellished ones!

Branded Items Spree



Time to pay respect to the mother of women superheroes. We've had tshirts emblazoned with the Superman logo, Batman and whatnot, so let's have Wonder Woman! A little bit vintage looking, and so totally matching with light blue jeans.
