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.

Luv My Dresses



The age of the rompers are not over yet! Proof when this cute little tube romper appears. If you're not one to wear tubes, there's always the option of wearing a tshirt underneath. You'll still look fab!

Ten Lady Toes



Who here has heard of the 18SX version of Little Red Riding Hood! If you haven't, my my, I certainly must post it up here. But only if you want to read it. Anyways, TLT has more hand-painted shoes for you. So what if you have nobody to sit with during lunchtime? At least you have cute shoes. (Quote: Post Secret)

Autumn Closet



I'll admit, the main reason why I chose this dress out of the collection is because it's named after my zodiac sign. Nonetheless, this piece has a modern twist to the traditional cheongsam. Sexy keyhole design, satin, and mid length! You could wear it on its own, or jazz it up with a cincher like the model has.

Le Femme Fatale



Buying gifts for the male species has always been a disastrous experience. You know the thing they'd like most are gadgets, but with our meagre salary/allowance, we can't always afford them. So why not get them something classy, exquisite, yet timeless? Cufflinks! Every man will have to venture out to the working world, so having a simple yet classy cufflinks will ensure that your man looks as sharp as his working attitude. I personally like this simple Mont Blanc design.

Phat Muffin



If you're a fan of vintage designs, hop over to Phat Muffin. Vintage isn't really my cup of tea, but when I saw this bolero I had to stop and stare. The perfect drape for a halter or sleeveless dress in the office.

The Aura



A simple butterfly pendant, but when adorned with that polymer clay flower, it's something else altogether! I like the way the pink fades into the white. So lovely! Goes well with sundresses and anything that reminds you of a fresh spring day.

Drestres



Tartan, plaids, gingham. They're all here to stay, so you might as well get some more of it while you still can. How about this cute empire waisted tube one, with a bow on the neckline? You can pair it with shorts, or if you're really petite, leggings or tights will work as well.

My Clothes Affair



Normal, short wallets are practical. But long wallets like these are more ladylike! Not to mention they're able to keep more knick knacks (more compartments!) and you don't need to fold your Ringgit notes. Don't own one? Start with this faux crocodile skin one then! Fyi, My Clothes Affair are having some pretty big sales. Tights and stirrups going for RM10 per pair, and RM28 for three pairs! This deal is so sweet that I already made my reservations.

Oh My Clothes!



This may seem like your ordinary graphic tshirt, but wait till you see the ripped effects on the back! Totally fierce, especially when paired with this slick PVC leggings and oxford glads.

Forever Boutique



Not enough of red in your wardrobe for the festive season? Then get this babydoll cap sleeved dress! It can be a dress for the petites, or a long top for the tall ladies. Wear with skinnies for the best look.

Pick Me Up, Buttercup



More vintage items for the vintage lovers. This time we have this lovely purple pleated skirt with a lace hem. It will look undeniably awesome with a fitting white tank top, but if you want a completely vintage look, pair it with a blouse adorned with tiny florals.


Hmm, methinks I should get started on a post with all red outfits. I can't even begin to count the number of red clothes I've been seeing around in the blogosphere. Bright reds are usually a pain to look at, especially for dresses. Deep reds are more classy, and easier on the eye. Like this tube dress! You can tone the colour down a little more by wearing black tights, just like the model did. Don't forget, they're selling Blythe dolls as well!

Simply Pretty Things



You absolutely have to see the many different ways to wear this dress. So many ways, so many styles, it's like buying five (random number) dresses for the price of one!


This dress is sexy alright, showing hints of skin. If you're not comfortable with that, you're welcomed to wear a tube inside. Otherwise, I love the cutting of this dress a lot! Simple, sleeveless, and black, it oozes sophistication without being uptight.

The Purple Polka Dot Shop



Cute earrings! I love how plain, silver earrings like these can just be matched with any outfit, from cocktail dresses to plain tshirt and jeans.

MOB



Their online boutique is revived! I personally think this dress is perfect for the OLs, as it's formal enough without being too uptight. Besides, don't you think the abstract rose designs are just so fab?

Room 8008



If you haven't gotten yourself a sequined top, here's yet another chance to fit one into your wardrobe. A plain racerback piece, it's easy to match with just your jeans or skirt.

Lovely Lolitas



More CNY goodies for you. You'd be spoilt for choices at the array of clothes all the online boutiques are bringing you. This here is a cheongsam inspired halter, which I think will look perfectly snazzy in a light blue denim mini skirt and espadrilles.

Midnight Glam



I love poofy skirts, and this satin pleated one is no exception. Paired with a button up shirt, this looks completely formal, but pair it with a sexy halter, and you're ready to hit the clubs.

My Vintage Garden



I don't usually dig the dramatic ruffles, but this dress looked so good on the model I couldn't possibly pass this up. I especially love the satin part of the dress! It might be a bit tad short for the office, but pair it with tights and pumps, and you're good to go. To the office, that is.

House Of Beauty



My boyfriend has this fetish for long sleeved tops. I prefer 3/4 sleeves, because they're more suited to our country's weather. Even if I was wearing a long sleeved top, I'd push the sleeves up. Teehee. Anyway, this top is the perfect combination of satin and...what's the other material? Cotton?? Whoops. This will look especially great in a prissy short skirt and ballet flats.

Jen's Closet



More draped vests because sometimes we want to jazz up a boring outfit. This one is different than the ones I've seen around; more material, and those cute buttons acting like cuffs in the middle of the vest!

WhortleBerries



Bags with more compartments because we girls have a lot of those tiny little stuff which we need to specially put in different compartments. Oh, you know, lip balm, tissue, sanitary pads, the works. This bag can double up as a sling, so if you're sick of wearing a tote you can always change it to a fuss free, casual sling.

The Kooky Thing



Patterned tights are all the rage now! And for good reason too. It's so easy to just put on an oversized tshirt, cincher, tights, shoes, and we're ready to leave the house. If you haven't own a diamond patterned one like this, well, you should!

Like Seriously



I'm not exactly a big fan of vintage, but when I saw this shirt I was like, wow! Love the colour and the fit. It's not long or big enough to qualify as a bf shirt, but who cares when we're lounging in this, a pair of white satin shorts and mules.
