Soak Republic



Awesome silver and swarovski crystals make this necklace a real crowning glory. Now you'll have a crown necklace to match the crown ring in the previous post... :D

The Cookie Crew



Gone are the days where there would be only one thing in fashion. But I should be thankful. Now we have a plethora of designs that are in, and we can choose whichever designs that suit us and wear them. Remember, it's all about the style; not the fashion. One of the latest crazes (well, not so new, but they're still in!) are the dual-toned dresses. You have them separated at the waist, and at the bust area. Best thing about them is that you look like you're wearing two different outfits. Kind of like how we used to look like we're layering two tshirts when we had that long-sleeved top with a different coloured short sleeve...if you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, here is yet another dual-toned dress with a heart shaped collarline and kind-of-puffy sleeves! Works great for casual wear and the office too. Even has a matching belt!




Beautiful Disaster











Omg! Omg omg omg! I got excited when I saw their selection of fishnet tights. And then I saw their selection of these funky printed tights! Seriously, just kill me now and I'd fly straight to heaven. I haven't seen any of these on our shores (or maybe I haven't been looking hard enough) but here they are, and Beautiful Disaster has other crazy prints as well! This will go so totally well with those long oversized tees that you're crazy about now.

Here are stuff that I've seen and really liked! No wordy wordy comments this time; in fact, I'm only gonna post pictures for you to see. Yeah, I'm lazy like that. :(

Now isn't this a pretty dual-toned dress? It has colourful polka dots, for God's sake. The studded cincher is really matchy with the dress, but too bad it's not included ay? :(  Looks good with strappy heels!


Even though I do not like the scratchy material of lace, you gotta admit that this is one pretty piece! It's ready stock too, so you don't need to wait in agony for weeks to get this beauty. A pity that the inner piece isn't included though. Le sigh! My favourite is the white one, but the beige one looks good too for a more vintage feel. 


I still don't like monogrammed designer bags much, so I chose this gold-blinged-Barbie-with-diamante-encrusted-chain-necklace to review! As much as I don't really like gold, this is kind of cool. In a gangsta way. Especially, if you wear this with a long rocker top with black glossy leggings. 


Pre-loved stuff here, but check out this kebaya. How many kebayas can you get for only RM25? Hardly. I'd like to get a nice piece and wear it with skinny jeans; it'd look so cool, but they are expensive, no kidding. 


Oh yays, they've finally updated and look! They included in a tank top, one of my personal favourite item of clothing. *big wet eyes* Check out the prints; they look as if they've jumped out straight from an ad in the 60s or something. Looks cool with mid-length plaid shorts!


Yet another must-have basic for the fashionista's wardrobe; plain sleeveless camisoles in monochromatic shades of black, grey and white. Though I must say this isn't too plain; which is good. We need some spice in our lives, like the buttons and the lace on this one. :)

Now I haven't seen this before. A dual toned dress with a lace top; and is it see-through? If it is and you're uncomfortable, there's always the option of layering. Layer with a long-sleeved top, or a tank top, or a halter, whatever you like. Just make sure the colour doesn't clash!



It's summer 365 days in Malaysia, so yay for the neverending supply of summer dresses for us. Since the weather is absolutely crazy now, I'm sure we all welcome the sleeveless clothing. I myself am decked out in a tank top and shorts now, phew. *fans self* But we can't wear tank tops and shorts forever. So bring in this cute sundress with the vintage florals and lace trims! It will look even cuter with hemp-heeled espadrilles. 



It's every girl's favourite word: SALES! That's what MOC is giving you, and this gingham heels is just one of the things you need to grab before it's all gone, baby, gone. 


Sky high peep toes in a variety of colours. I still don't understand though, why when there are a range of colours for a certain item of clothing/shoes/accessories, they are immediately labelled "candy coloured"? Black is certainly not a candy colour except for liquorice. :P


This one here is a little bit far off, but hey, almost any guy item available online must be reviewed! This graphic tshirt reminds me of a Franz Ferdinand music video, but its title escapes me at this moment...hmm. Anyways, this tshirt looks great with a pair of well fitting jeans, but no track pants please!


Are you a fan of Snoopy? My friend is. She'll love this tshirt to bits. Since it's a long tee, it'll definitely look good with the ankle length leggings!

You have to see their collection of necklaces; absolutely gorgeous! My favourite is this guitar one. It will look so perfect with a long tank top and black liquid leggings! You should definitely get this for some necklace variety; this is layering at its best. Plus, no need to buy multiple necklaces too. 






They have so many gorgeous hairbands I don't know which to choose. The best thing? They're all handmade with love. Also, they're all a different style so you'll never see someone wearing the same thing. This is just so perfect to dress up your hair without putting in excessive product. 


Here's a cute Paul Frank tie to either do an Avril Lavigne, or give it to your man to liven up his outfit a bit. A note of caution; don't make him wear it when he has an important business meeting! Teehee.

Authentic watches for sale. Here's one for the men; a Casio tank watch that's guaranteed to look good on any wrist.


More dual toned goodies for those who haven't gotten any. Gasp! What era are you living in?? Why haven't you gotten one?? If you're loving that bright red cincher, good news! It's included as well. :D


Choose from a range of statement tshirts for the cynical in you. My favourite is this one. :D


Now that design is almost a replica of the original. So for us who can't afford the real thing, we take the alternative which is tonnes cheaper than the original. But still as cute! Looks great with skinny jeans or by itself. :D



Wasn't there a dress with a similar design to this? I remember everyone was raving about it because it's the exact same dress that Cameron Diaz wore to some event. To be honest, I like this one so much better. Babydoll tops always score a good point in my lookbook!


Ooh, more sweet girly clothes for you to choose from! I like this babydoll dress with the really sweet blue and green colours. The quintessential summer dress. :D


If you love going to FOS to shop for clothes, you should like this. Branded apparel from factory outlets with prices slashed till they're so cheap you could cry. 


Something more office-like for the OLs. Here it is, the dual toned which looks so much like a separate piece I could tear my hair out trying to differentiate them. *sobs* The skirt part is very nice! Looks like a pencil skirt but thankfully not as long.

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.

Other than a full suit, I think guys look great in a fitting graphic tshirt and a pair of well cut jeans. Graphic tees these days are just so creative! One of my guy friends and a lecturer(!) has this uber cool tshirt of a silhoutte of a guy shooting his head, and the blood transform into butterflies. :D Morbid, but cool. This one depicts the everyday life of a student. Books, alarm clock, laptop, and what's that random bunny??

Cannot believe that this is still available! Am I the only one who thinks this is gorgeous? Cause it definitely is. Do hurry as this isn't restockable. :)


PHAT Culture


They only have this colour left! I've seen quite a few of the chiffon overlined dresses lately, beginning with the colour plaids one! Then there were the polka dots, and quite predictably, the stripes. What about argyles next? :O





A supershort mini halter dress with skull prints! I like. Has attitude. :D




And finally, something for the office. Chiffon with loose ruffles on the neckline. This is a new shop, by the way!
