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

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!

Frills Shoppe







Let's stave off the supershort skirts for now, and focus on more decently-lengthed mini skirts. Skirts like this one are such a dear! Pair it with a bright coloured top to make it look less dull, or a white top for minimalistic options.


Frozen Petalz






Grey should never be acquainted with old! This one's more towards the formal side, so you can wear it for presentations as well as to the office. If you're going for a fancy dress party, you can wear this with a cream, long-sleeved high necked blouse, do your hair up in a chignon and wear a pair of horn-rimmed spectacles. What are you going as? The Typical Uptight Librarian.

A Cup of Sugar




More long tops to hide those hips. I like this one because it has the little wraparound motif going on, and plus, it has pockets! The only annoying little factor is that you will always need to wear an inner top, unless you plan on showing off your cleavage. Nevertheless, it looks casual with jeans, but will be sexy with patterned tights.

Threadmark



That is one gorgeous camera. I mean, look at the quality of the picture! Ahem. Back to topic. It might look like a plain blue dress, even with the rosettes. But it's okay, cause that's what cinchers are for. Also, you can fold in the sleeves and make it look pinafore-ish instead of slightly capped. Most of all, I really like the dark blue colour of this dress.

A Girl's Wardrobe



That is a halter, right? Sorry, I can't tell. Anyways, the straps are a tad different than your average halter, because it looks like skinny belt straps! Ha. How's that for a taste of dominatrix style. I'd recommend black PVC leggings and black leather boots for the complete look!

Round Bean



Guys (as in, literally), hint hint! Valentine's Day is coming in exactly three more weeks. It's time to start looking for the perfect Vday gift. Of course, this applies to girls too. For the guys, if your girlfriend is into purple and vintage, this necklace is your best bet. That purple polymer rose is so divine, and will look even better than the bouquet of roses you're going to give her.

Femme By J.E.



There I go again with skirts. Can't blame me, they're the best girly thing to wear, next to dresses. In fact, they're even better than dresses, because you can mix and match! This flowery skirt has a very exotic feel to it, kind of like the tacky Hawaiian style shirts tourists always wear, but more fashionable.

Dazzle



Hello, biker jackets! I'd have picked the black one, but that's too common. I chose an uncommon colour in biker jackets; green. Paired with that neon polka dotted skirt, this looks very retro! Kind of like the era where people went to "discos" (which we now call clubs. Lol) and danced the locomotive and the "a-go-go"? Is that what it's called? Nonetheless, I really salute that era. Lots of psydellic clothing and wacky fashion! Anyway, you can make this jacket more towards this current era, by wearing it over a white tank top and dark skinny jeans with oxfords. No boots; we don't want to overdo the biker chick look.

Iccy House



More puffy skirts! Now they also come in shades of elegance (read: brown). Team them with clear coloured tops to take off the dull brown look (there's a difference between elegant brown and dowdy brown). Of course, the colour must match. If you wanna wear clashing colours in a fun way, go ahead. Just don't take yourself too seriously.

Clothes For Fun



It was love at first sight when I saw this jacket! Somehow the plaids don't look as vintage as your usual plaids, but more hiphop. Hmm, must be the jacket. I'd love to be seen keeping warm with this, a camisole underneath and a super short skirt!

The Chocolate Buttons



I've always been a fan of halters; not just because of the exposed back. It sort of creates a longer, leaner, (and bigger boobed!) image of my torso. But maybe it's just me. Anyways, halters have always been deemed inappropriate in the office, but I guess this won't be the deal any longer! Not when we have formal looking ones like this halter! Wear this with a sleek pair of slacks (pinstriped dark grey?) and pointy toed heels. Guaranteed to wow your colleagues.

Favourite Boutique



Basic tops are probably the dullest item of clothing in our wardrobe. That is, if you have zero accessories on yourself. With basic tops, the amount of things you can use to accessorize is limitless! You can wear a scarf, like this one. Or, multiple long beaded necklaces! A vest. Cinchers. You'd be spoilt for choice. A very cool look I'd try is this long sleeved top, a denim miniskirt, and multiple long beaded necklaces. If you have a pair of boots, wear them. If you don't, canvas shoes will make an equally nice trick!

Cheap n Chic



Didn't I say blings were here to stay? Cute tube top by the way! I think I simply can't find fault with it. It's pink; my favourite colour. It has satin. It has sequins. Wear this with a super short mini and hit the clubs, or pair it with your favourite jeans and a cropped cardigan, and you're good to go for a dinner out with the boyfriend.

Miss Shopaholic's Closet



If you love pinafores, you'd be glad to know that they have a huge assortment of colours for this one! Personally, I love the green but there isn't a picture of the front of the green, so I'll settle for my second favourite. It's amazing how many kind of tops you can wear with this pinafore, and yet each different kind (of top) changes the look! So experiment yourself and see.

Cat in a Bowl




I just love the cute appeal of this dress! For one, the colour and design is so totally bright, anyone would feel happy just looking at it. Secondly, this dress makes the perfect outfit for a lunch date, whether with the boyfriend, girlfriends, or parents. Just slip on a pair of sandals, studded earrings and you're good to go.

Clothes I Like




Chinese New Year is approaching; have you stocked up on your reds yet?? If you haven't, then let's start with something basic. Like this v-necked top for example. The back is low cut, and has sort of a string tied there! Don't know how to describe it. But that sort of design is making its appearance often. This top goes great with a pair of skinnies, but make sure your bottom isn't too bright; there's something called clashing!

Bundle of Joy




More bling and tiers! Very Serena inspired, although the tights are more towards Blair, don't you think? Nonetheless, it's a great combination! Love the shoes as well. I'm sure you're ready to hit the nightlife in this outfit already!

Wings Of Love




Valentine's Day is like what, next month? A little too early, but it's good to be prepared. You'll never know if you run out of time looking for that perfect present! When the time comes, this handmade card will be the perfect accompaniment to your gift.

Hazel Mazel



I think most of us has already passed our sweet sixteen, le sigh. But that doesn't mean we can't dress like one! I mean, okay, we'll pass on the juvenile logo t shirts and badly fitted jeans, but this babydoll dress? Irresistible! It even has eyelets oh-my-Gawd. Just so we won't be accused of not acting our age, let's pair this with tights and more grown up shoes.

Ancient Orchids



Where ever are you going to wear such a pretty dress of this sort? If you don't have a wedding to attend soon, fret not. Miss SC will teach you how to dress this down. :P Take a biker/bomber jacket, and put it on. Add fishnet tights and booties. Goodbye demure girl, hello sexy woman!

Shopaholix Bar



Okay, now this asymmetrical top is really something! You can either leave it to drape long, or you can tie the side up to make it an even length. It may look like an ordinary braided halter top, but the back is to die for! Put on your NuBra/FreeBra and hit the clubs in this!

Pixie Closet



If it looks like a cropped cardigan over a tube for you, I don't blame you. They're actually a faux two-piece top! Very Ugly Betty meets ditzy bimbo, this top is. If you wanna go all out with the geeky look, I suggest a high waisted skirt, huge horn rimmed glasses and a supertight ponytail.

Candee-licious




Woe is the curly haired girl and the torn ribbon in her hair. Joy is the girl wearing this tshirt and looking hot in her supershort skirt and super high gladiator heels!

Moto-Moto




I have always been a firm believer that if you wear something skimpy for the top, wear something decent for the bottom and vice versa. That way, you can avoid looking like a skank. I guess Moto-Moto shares my views as well, cause look at this lovely long sleeved, cowl neck mini dress! If you're afraid you might accidentally flash someone, opt for tights or leggings. Although I'm not a fan of leggings, I think wearing those slick black leggings with boots can actually pull off looking like leather pants.

Trendy Hunt



I am digging the raggedy feel of this knit coat. Though our weather doesn't really make coats a necessity, there is something called air conditioning. Strong air conditioning. If the strong AC in your workplace/college isn't enough to make you wanna snuggle inside this comfy coat, I'm sure the fashionista in you will dig the tusk-like buttons!

Wear U Style



Why does this scarf look like it has a checkered design but yet a houndstooth design as well?? If you don't believe me, check out the blog! But anyway, I have always loved scarves. If you've been following my blog, I did mention a few times that scarves can just dress up any outfit. Plain tshirt and jeans? Put on a scarf, and you won't look plain no more!

Frills Shoppe



If you're the type who shun girly, flowery dresses and tops and prefer the rockstar appeal, have I got the perfect earrings for you! Shell earrings with skull and bones printed on them. Feminine, but with an androgynous edge.

French Kiss



Booties can be seen everywhere now. And with good reason! Other than pumps, these babies look best with tights and leggings. Just imagine, pairing this pair of booties with tights, and a supershort sleeveless dress with a biker jacket. Tres chic!

The Milkyland



I'm lovin' it. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like McDonalds, so why not proclaim my love by wearing this pommes frites necklace? I can guarantee you that they'd be the perfect accompaniment to a tshirt-denim miniskirt-whatever shoes you like combo.

Fashionology



Proof that our mundane uniform from the high school days can be sexy and stylish, with the right cut, size, and style. Why do we need to envy Japanese schoolgirls for their plaid mini skirts and prissy blouses with knee length socks, when we have our cute lil pinafore? :P

Dandelion's Kisses



Here's a blazer with a twist. Lots of gold buttons, all faux. You can button neither one of them, but from the picture, it looks like you just need to hook 'em on!

Fashion Edge



Or if blazers aren't your thing, you could go for something rougher and more casual, like this biker jacket! Ditch the black and whites of jackets, go for brown instead! You know it goes fabulously well with a white tshirt and jeans.

My Favourite Tees.com



So they don't only sell tees, but also dresses and other tops! You know, clothes are all about feel and intuition. I only pick clothes which I like to review. While I really liked some of the tshirts that were sold here, so did most others. Which was why all the tshirts I really liked were sold out, but then I wasn't really satisfied with tshirts I settled for as "second best". So I look at the other dresses, and I found this! I instantly fell in love with it, that's why I reviewed a dress instead of tshirts which is what they're specialized in. This dress looks exactly like one would wear in a LookBook.nu photo. The entire combination is sort of artsy meets urban chick. Plus I'm into grey now, so yeah!

The Bouncing Bananas



Say hello to boots with a twist. In our balmy Malaysian weather, one wouldn't be comfortable wearing boots for an entire day. We need our feet to breathe, lest we get an athlete's foot. So we have the perfect solution for you! I don't know what you call this, but it can't be peep toed boots. It looks like pumps, but with extra material to fashion it into a boot. This tan colour goes extremely well with dark jeans, so you know what to match it with.

Favourite Boutique



Though it has been raining these few days, we should stock up for the upcoming hot weather in the new year. I know, only one more month till it's 2009! So get this sleeveless dress in a flowy material, especially for girls who detest jeans. I have a friend who is always in skirts and hardly in jeans. When I ask her why, she says it's because it's too hot! But then there are the few of us who practically live in jeans. Okay, I'm digressing.

Round Bean
.


The blogger is right, this bracelet looks absolutely Tiffanyesque, what with the thick stainless steel charms and tiny diamante studs on them. Best part is that you can hook it to whichever chain link you want, so you can use it as a bracelet, or an anklet.

So Into You



If you're a great fan of tradition, I have the perfect Chinese New Year dress for you. Though not a traditional cheongsam, its redness is enough to have that traditional look! Also, upon closer inspection, there are yellowish gold flowers on it. Subtle, but very refined. If you don't mind pre owned items, this is your best bet!

Le-Identity

This is the first of its sort that I've seen. First leopard prints appeared on our clothes, shoes, underwear, bags, and now, rings! Personally, what I love about it are the leopard prints (how predictable)! So different, and something new.
