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!

Yay for flats. I like flats. They're so much more comfy than wearing heels, but that's just my excuse for being a complete wuss. :D 





What I like about this cocktail dress is its simplicity and that random bow at the waist! Obviously you cannot dress this up with a cincher anymore, but there's room for scarves, necklaces, tights, bangles...the works! Go creative. :D





The classic white shirt has so many variations you'd be thankful for it. Imagine if we were stuck with just one design. The uniformity of it all will kill me. This one has pleats at the bib Victorian style. Check out the silver pearl-like buttons too. My favourite feature? You can fold the sleeves and button it up so that it becomes a three-quarter sleeved blouse. *big wet eyes* 






Despite the sweltering heat, we also need something to warm us up in the AC, especially if we'll be stuck there all day. Hello, over-airconditioned lecture halls and offices? It just makes extra sense to keep a bomber jacket on and looking stylish while keeping warm. This'll look extra cool on an uber girly flowery sundress. :D

Super Gorgeous!
.


Super gorgeous this dress is! Dare you wear this not-so-plunging neckline halter dress? If you wear this out to dinners, heads will surely turn. To be a little more modest, wear a tube underneath, or a cropped cardigan over. Or maybe a biker jacket! It will be a shame to cover those floral designs on the neckline though. Pair this monochromatic dress with more brightly coloured shoes.

Le Femme Fatale
.


You've seen chintz chairs on necklaces. Now let them be seen on your ears! It's so cute; they even have ribbons on the earrings. If you have a chintz chair necklace already, you should totally get this to make it a set.
.


When I saw this sleeveless cardigan, I fell head over heels over head over heels (you get my drift) in love with it! How can anything so slouchy look so good?? The model has really pulled it off well. It has funky pockets which looked like it's been ironed on wrongly, and best of all, if you don't like it long, you can adjust it to make it shorter! But of course, I like it long, so that I can wear tights with no pants. ;D
.


We have couple rings, couple keychains, couple shirts...and now we have LV couple cellphone straps. Hey, I have an idea, why don't we have couple shoes next?? Haha. Anyway, this cellphone strap is real classy looking. I'm all for minimalism, and this cellphone strap has it. I would get this for the boyfriend, but he doesn't like cellphone decorations. Pfft.

Only Branded Replica



Messenger bags are cool. Especially androgynous ones like this. I'm not really a fan of designer goods, but damn this Gucci bag is cool. Imagine sidling into class with this, a graphic tee, jeans and canvas shoes, and aviators.

The Shoplifters



It's not fair. It really isn't fair. How come all the good stuff's either been reserved or sold?? I really liked the leather shorts. Aargh. But it's okay. At least this funky perforated belt isn't sold yet. It's actually a skinny belt, but the front part's all wide and rocker-ish.

Fashion Loft



Shorts with suspenders are t3h bomb. Because I said so. I mean, why not? They look pretty damn good if you wear them with a buttoned up shirt, and probably might qualify for the office if your office doesn't have a strict dress code. Nonetheless, wear a rainbow hued tank top underneath it and you'll look just as fab.

Se.xx.y



Sexy is indeed, one of the many words used to describe this gorgeous paisley dress. A few other adjectives would be gorgeous, as I've said, stunning, elegant...the list goes on. Anyway, I also like the bluish hues of this dress. Very oceanlike, so I think this will be very suitable if you wear it while having dinner in a place overlooking the beach!

An Old Flame







I absolutely adore this dress! With its colourful and bold designs, it's sure to capture even the hardest of hearts. Need I add that the machine pleats on the dress is an added bonus points to an already stunning dress? I say this dress and a simple black pair of heels will do the trick. No accessories, except maybe for light bracelets, because this dress is already so striking.



Miss Lola's Closet




This picture is not that clear, but damn is it enough to make me like it. A simple flutter sleeved dress, fitting at the abdomen to show off your curves. Wear with gladiator heels for a little edge in your style.

Mezzanine




Who doesn't love all things bright and beautiful? I'm sure even the most uptight will fall in love with this patent magenta heels! They're a great addition to your collection of shoes, and they're the best to wear with one coloured clothes, like your LBD or a white dress.

Miss Capsicum



If you're a lover of all things pretty and poofy, then you're going to love this dress. The thick waistband will make your waist look slender, and the tulle is enough to satisfy the girlishness in us. If you find tulle a bit too girly, then rejoice, for the colours of the dress are dark enough to tone down the girly factor.

Peep



What you're seeing is not just a skirt, but also a dress in its original form. Though it's without a bubble hem unlike its predecessor, you're still going to love the versatality of wearing this dress. From a halter, to a toga, to a tube, to a skirt; your creativity is endless. Plus, even if the versatality of this dress can't attract you, I suppose the floral design will.

Ancient Orchids



Now this is a different sort of top. Lace and lace-ups. Two completely different thing, yet both are the essence of sexiness. How else can lingerie be in lace, and corsets in lace-ups? Looks absolutely gorgeous with a pair of jeans and heels, but if you want to be a little more formal, try it with a white pencil skirt.

Okay, so here's the extremely long entry I promised. It would've been even longer with the amount of emails pouring in, but I can't be updating with every email I get, so baby steps.

Like Seriously



Poofy skirts and I have a little bond. I like them, and they pretty much look good on me. But then again, they look great on almost everybody. They look great with tank tops, graphic/statement tshirts, or long sleeved knit tops. If purple isn't your thing, they have other colours as well!

Favourite Boutique



Of all the oversized shirts I've seen, this is probably the one I like best. Striped and a little see through, you can wear something inside and create a little peekaboo session. Wear it on its own with tights, or add your own pants, and you look great. If you don't like it hanging too long, you can tie it up cowgirl style.

Junkz Deluxe



The dresses made to look like a matching top and skirt are being increasingly seen lately. I like this pink and black combination. The skirt isn't too long, and the back is stylish with the ribbon bows and a little bare back. Go from the office to the clubs in this baby! Just change shoes; pumps for the office, and strappy stilettos for the club!

Phat Culture



Off with the fitting, on with the baggy? Sure seems like it with this off shoulder top! Best news is, the inner halter is included with the off shoulder top! You can spice it up by wearing your bikini underneath, with a pair of shorts.

Round Bean



Goodbye charm bracelets, hello long windy bracelets! You can wind this bracelet as many times as you can around your arm, to create the illusion of wearing a few bracelets at a time.

Velvet Ribbon



Valentine's Day is slightly more than a month more! Get prepared for that romantic date (or outing with the girls!) in this sweet pink dress. Elegant enough for a dinner at a restaurant, and sexy enough for the clubs.

Little McQueen



High waisted anythings cover up a slight bulging tummy, especially if it's denim. They also look especially chic when paired with a basic coloured top, and sandals of any sort.

Lush

Vests, I have seen aplenty. Vests like this, however, hardly come by. A little bit of sequins, a little bit of satin, and I don't know what else. Haha. Got a rockstar tshirt? Pair it with this, denim, and footwear of your choice.



Vintage lovers will love this vintage inspired blouse. When worn right, you'll escape the grandmother look and become a vintage chick! How right is right? You'll have to find out for yourself. Teehee.

Clothesville



Every girl needs a simple cocktail dress that'll suit any occassion. Of course, the perfect choice would be an LBD, but let's have some colours for a change. Like this wine coloured dress with a diamond middle! Now if that diamond were to be bejewelled, it would be pretty nice as well. Pair with blinged up shoes and shoulder dusting earrings and you're good to go.

Oriental Sparkles



If long chainy necklaces aren't your thing, opt for this simple short wired necklace. I totally dig the pendant! Little flowers dotted on it. Reminds me of a cookie with coloured frostings.

Vibrant Swirls



Barbie would be jealous of these shoes! Baby pink with pretty bows; I'm sure Xia Xue would fall in love with this. Haha. Best part is, the height's just right; not too high, but with enough height to make your legs look long. Pair with a white sundress!

Think Glamz



I wouldn't usually go for dresses of this sort, but what the heck. It's something different and worth reviewing for. With a turtleneck, cut in sleeves, pleats and supershort, it's almost like the modern day Audrey Hepburn, especially with those long pearls. If you were to get those elbow-length satin gloves, it'll really be very Audrey Hepburn.

Luscious Lips



Asymmetrical length blouse with a halter and bright red swirls! Perfect for CNY, as well as a casual outing to the mall. Pair with jeans, or if you're petite, tights.

Ministry of Clothes



When I saw this, I hyperventilated! I haven't bought a tshirt, a proper tshirt, for quite some time. At only RM20, this seems like the perfect one! Plus, my love for cameras are undeniable. Digital cameras, DSLRs, lomo cameras, I see them on this tshirt!

Petite Four



Now this blue kimono is something I really like. The flowers and swirls really have an oceanic yet floral theme going on. Looks good on its own for the petites, and with leggings or tights for the tall ladies!

Devonitas



I'm bringing sexy back with this tshirt. Okay, that phrase has to be overused (probably an understatement) for every outfit that has a bare back. But seriously, LBD, backless; it's tantalising! With smoky eyes and strappy heels, the look is complete.



Wear a monokini to cover up yet show off skin. Don't get me? Well let me put it like this; your parents don't like you wearing a bikini for fear of showing off too much skin. So you wear a monokini (well, it's a one-piece bathing suit!) that's still as sexy as a bikini! This exotic floral one will look so good with an emerald green pareo.

Le Femme Fatale



On my first glance, these look like snakeskin. And how totally cleopatra-like is the black and gold one?? Even the white one has a mod look of its own. Same design, two different colours, two different looks. All the more reason to get both of it together.

Frills Shoppe




Don't you just love a clothes combination that comes together as one, and yet it can be separated? Take this tshirt and vest for example. The tshirt will look equally as good on its own, and the vest can be worn with something else. Value for your money!

Wear U Style



Fancy wearing something loose and sluggish looking for once? Ditch the baby tees and hip hugging jeans. Pair this loose pocketed tunic with shorts or jeans.
