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.

Yay for shorts in this scorching weather. I saw an awesome pair of plaid shorts in Padini Authentics, but it's so expensive it's illegal. This one makes a good substitute! Cuffed at the bottom, light coloured gingham, it's cool. :D




 

Ah, the basic black spaghetti with a twist. Great when you want to just show off your blazer/jacket/cardigan, and great on its own. This one has a crocheted racerback! The beauty of this is that you can wear it with anything at all. Especially if you have an extravagant bottom wear, this will fit just right in. 



Though I'm not sure how often does one get to wear cocktail dresses, I don't think it can be often (unless you're a socialite!). Nonetheless, every girl must have a cocktail dress in her wardrobe. A plain and simple one always wins against the extravagant one, as you can accessorize limitlessly! Take this one. Dress it up with a colourful cincher, and a short necklace or choker. Love tights? Wear it! Though for a more formal look, I'd skip on the gaudy coloured and patterned ones and opt for fishnets or black lacy tights. 






I may not like wearing heels a lot, but I do love my espadrilles! They're the easiest to walk in, and they don't compromise on the height. I especially like the casual feel that they give. Looks best with sundresses! This baby is a mixture of denim and faux leather; absolut perfection. No need to fuss with the clasp as it's a hook on. I also like how the strap ends below the ankle, thus not cutting your leg off and making it look short. x)






Oh. My God. When I saw this, I hyperventilated. It is so gorgeous!! I so wanna get it, but I feel guilty for spending so much...*meek* Don't you just love the empire waistline and the crocheted back? It's everything that makes this top special. Best thing is that it'll be just perfect for the office, as well as casual wear! Don't mind me, I'll be ranting a lot about office wear from now on. It's the internship. T_T





I have a good friend who constantly buys cardigans in all shapes, sizes and colours, just because she daren't wear sleeveless clothes on their own. If you're like that, then it's more than a perfect excuse to get even more cardigans in different shapes, sizes and colours! The best type of cardigans are the plain designed ones. You wanna cover up without covering all of your outfit, right? Choose from a range of colours that they have! 



Pretty Korean style accessories are what you'll find here. Take this four-leaf clover bangle for example! Totally demure, and just the perfect item to dress up your cute cocktail dress.


Here I am with my cardigans again. This one is pre-order though, and order's closing end of this May! I quite like the pink, it's so girly. Take a tip from this model and wear it with a tshirt and denim skirt!

Choose For Less



Now why didn't I see this earlier? Hidden in the depths of my email inbox was this e-shop with a few delectable guy's tshirts. I don't know about your guy, but mine doesn't like wearing too flashy outfits, so graphic tshirts like this one suits him just fine. Now I feel like getting him this.

Peep



Everyone has their emo days. If you want people to steer clear from you, then wear this tshirt. But actually, I think by wearing this people will come to disturb you more. Tee hee. Anyway, wear this with dark jeans and a shiny vest! Along with heels. Peep toed ones would be nice. I think pointy heeled pumps would be nicer!

Iccy House



The ever basic spaghetti strapped top. Looks good enough if you want to wear it on its own. Also the best thing to wear under a blazer or a funky jacket, especially if the main thing you want to display is the outerwear, without suffering a heatstroke. Do hurry, cause this spaghetti top is only left in pink!

Hazel Mazel



I'm leaving, on a jetplane. Don't know when I'll be back again...not. I wish I was leaving on a jetplane now, cause I am so bored and I haven't been on a holiday out of my home for a very long time! Anyways, this plane-monogrammed tank top is the sex. (Heheh copied someone's signature statement). Wear with shorts to the beach side, or with jeans to lectures, or with a skirt to the mall! So uber versatile and looks good on everyone.

My Vintage Garden



If you're still in the Gossip Girl fever, get this tube top with the super huge bow on the neckline. I think this will look delectably elegant in a high waisted black skirt of the same material as the top. Then it'll look like an LBD! Add a string of pearls and a pair of red stilettos and you'll be good to go!

Frills Shoppe



I was this close to not posting this up because I liked it so much and didn't want anyone else to buy it. But le sigh, good things are meant to be shared. Damn I'm so noble. This floral vintagey babydoll top comes with the inner racerback top! And if what I see is correct, the bustline can be adjusted by pulling the ribbon in the middle. Looks good with three quarter jeans and espadrilles.

ESN Clothing



Knee length skirts are particularly useful especially if your uni doesn't allow mini skirts. Just feel the satisfaction when you walk past them security guards and lecturers and they're unable to tell you off for wearing something revealing! Oh by the way, the above probably only applies to me. Sad, but anyway, this knee length skirt is quite chic! Not all knee length skirts equals old fashioned and prissy, as this one proves.

An Old Flame



I half thought this was a dress by itself. Silly me! But I do quite like that studded belt. Anyway, focus on the blouse. Nothing like some red-and-white stripes and ruffles to get that oldies feel. I think this will look equally good with some high-waisted shorts as well, be it denim or black ones.
The Red Tutu



Every girl needs a lingerie inspired top to wear when she feels sexy. This one is no exception. Covering the right places and exposing the midriff with sheer material, this one definitely screams sexy. If you're not too confident to wear this alone, a funky jacket calls for!

Sugar Dressing



I used to have an aversion towards flat heeled gladiators, but ever since purchasing a four inch one, I think they should be quite okay! Especially if your legs are longer than your torso, you can definitely pull this one off without looking like a complete...stump. Looks good with bare legs, meaning you have to wear this with a short skirt or shorts!


Brown patent booties with a laced up back, instead of in the front. And you haven't even seen the inside yet! Lined with animal prints. Oooh. Wear this with leggings, then you can't see that they're leggings. Not exactly the whole point of leggings I know, but since I don't like them you can't blame me for suggesting that. They look equally good with skinny jeans and high waisted super short skirts as well.

Cat in a Bowl


I'll call this the LLBD. Little Lace Black Dress. It's absolutely simple, yet gorgeous! Heart shape tube and a flared skirt, alongside lace details. That extra bow makes this dress looks extra gorgeous, but I'm not sure if it comes together with the dress. Wear with purple heels!

Lush




Say hello to the 2-in-1 scarf. Skull prints on one side, and paint splatters on the other side. I'm a big fan of scarves, and this is just perfect for me. Wear with a simple tshirt and jeans or skirt and canvas shoes.

Daily Shopping Therapy



Have a long hobo for a change! With cutesy knots at the side too. I know what my boyfriend would say about this bag though; it's so big, it'll swallow me up. But hey, that's what we girls like, a big bag to put just about all our stuff in.

Velvet Ribbon



They featured my favourite LookBook-er of all time, Woori G.! I so love her look; she can pull almost anything off, and she always looks so fabulous. It helps that her legs are seriously long. Envious I am. Anyway, this blazer is so awesome, especially when you want that androgynous look. Pair with heels and skinny jeans and some funky graphic tshirt under that blazer.


If you have all the possible designs of hobo bags, it's time to change. Let's break out the extremely-big-handle hobo. Gone are the thick, big-looped handles; let's have a clutch-y one for now. Not too handy when you're out for a long shopping day though; those arms will get tired!

Drestres


Okay I seem to be reviewing quite a lot of bags this time. But really, how often do you have a square shaped bag? There are even extra straps so you can carry it like a sling. If you visit the blog, you'll see all sorts of ways to carry the bag. I like it cause it's a little androgynous.

Beanipet



This octopus cushion is so cute! But I thought octupuses had eight legs. Tee hee. It might be already sold in the blog, but you can always ask her to make another one for you. Nothing like something squishy to hug while you're in front of the computer.

Tic Tac Toe



I have just found a cute dress for the clubbing scene. Short, sleeveless, and with bling. Add a bow and you'll up the cuteness factor! Wear with strappy heels, big hoop earrings and pull up your hair!

Yogurt Barcode



This scarf is so vintagelike. You can tie it as a sash on your waist, a scarf, or a headband! So versatile, and it's perfect to jazz up a boring outfit. Like say, a plain white tank and jeans?

Dreamz Collectionz



More often than not, trench coats are associated with cold weather; winter, the rain, etc. And more often than not, they come in dark shades of blue, grey, green, and black. Ditch the normality and brighten up the rainy day with this red trench coat! Of course, in our weather, we don't need a coat. But you could always wear it as a dress, nobody said you couldn't. Plus, there's something very spy-ish about wearing a trench coat. Our mission though, is not to be concealed, but get noticed.

Miss Shopaholic's Closet





Booties! I've been coveting for a pair ever since I found out they're the nicest most youthful footwear to go with tights. Sadly, I can't seem to find the right pair for me. But this sleek white one is definitely for keeps! Ends not too pointy; check. Heels not too skinny; check. Ability to match with just about anything; check.

Lush



I fell in love with this the minute I set sights on it. It's so cute! What's there not to love? Sleeveless demure with a flowy skirt; but a pinch of spice with the sequins. Not to mention; baby blue! If there was a light pink one, this can totally pass as a ballerina tutu for one of your recitals. I'm not sure if this is appropriate enough for the clubs though; if there was one in gold, I'll be giving you the green light!

Little Black Dress



Speaking of clubs, this tube top will probably only see light in the clubs; neon lights, that is. I have to say the double-uneven-length-layer is quite quirky. And with a combination of a mini denim skirt and bling appropriate for rappers, you're ready to hit the clubs. Bear in mind though; only the clubs.

The Kittencake Shop



Know what this dress reminds me of? The black lacy dress Blair Waldorf wore in the first episode of the first season of GG. Though that dress was flowery lace, so what? Recreate your own style with this boxed neckline dress. You don't have to wear tights like Blair did, no thanks to the weather. What you can do is slip on a pair of bright purple booties!

Xoxo, Pink Poodle



I totally dig this hoodie. And this shot looks totally like a LookBook shot. Anyway, back to the hoodie. Hoodies are inevitably meant for warming you up in the cold. But with prints like these, hell, I'd wear them as a fashion statement. Throw in a skimpy top; halter, spaghetti, whatever you like, and wear this hoodie over it.

Dress Me Up


Ditch the womanly totes and the lazy hobo. It's time to go cutesy with a sling bag, and I don't mean the kind you bring to high school. I mean those small pouches with a long thin strap kind of sling bag. We used to carry them when we were little girlies. There's no reason to stop, especially with this cute lollipop shaped one! Yeah, it's small, but we only need the three essentials; wallet, cellphone, and tissues. I think this will look cool with a sundress and ballet flats!

U Look So Hot Today!



Pardon me, but this top really reminds me of a jester's! I love it; it's a breath of fresh air from the usual polka dots, plaids, gingham and such. Anybody here watches Shugo Chara? The ruffled hemline is totally like Rima's Clown Drop outfit! Looks great on its own and tights with booties.

Rosette Coutures



If all our boyfriends were like that, there would be no need for ATM machines. So why not drop a hint and get him this tshirt? If he loves you, he'll know what to do. Wink wink.

Cat In A Bowl



I'm all about thigh high skirts now! Especially swishy, pleated ones. Why not? They're sexy, and totally cute. If you've never tried them, now's the best time. Actually, anytime's a good time. If you want to try 'em out but can't, fret not. That's what we have tights and leggings for! Though for a skirt patterned like this, I'd recommend plain black ones. It's not good to have too many designs in one outfit.

Stitchme-Up



Bright yellow with graphic lines, buttons with a ruched bust area. What's there not to love about this tube top? Wear a necklace to dress your decolletage more, and a denim skirt! With sneakers.
