Hey ladies! So sorry I did not update yesterday, as I was quite busy rushing with something. Thankfully, I'm already done! So here's a big fat post for y'all.

Bimbs Wardrobe



What does one do when one has a bad hair day? Why, one covers it up of course! With the many type of hats, you'd be spoilt for choices. If you wanna be a little funky, try this fedora. Very old British man meets androgynous chic, especially if you pair it up with a tshirt and a vest with some jeans.

Purple Peppermint



If fedoras aren't your cup of tea, why not try a trucker cap? Unlike ordinary caps, trucker caps have more ventilation, thanks to the mesh area. I like this rainbow-stripey one! The front might be a little plain, but the stripes say for it all.

Quadruple Queen



Hello, simple sundress for lectures! Perfect for a sunny day, and since it's flowy and all you don't need to feel all tight with pants. Best thing is that you can just slip on some ballet flats, grab your bag and you're good to go.

A Touch of Simplicity



Oooh! The Starbucks tee! I've been wanting to get myself one, but I can't seem to find the perfect tshirt. Yeah I know, it's just a tshirt, but there are perfect ones too! This brown one makes it look all vintagey, and the colour will most definitely suit a pair of jeans, no matter what colour. Except for black, maybe.

Shopping Princess



The reason why I posted a picture of the back of the dress is because that's the most appealing part! The front is nothing much to shout about, it's just a normal sleeveless front. But the good thing about these type of dresses are that people don't give you a second glance, until you turn your back on them. Then they'll regret. It's like people and relationships. What am I saying? Moving on.

Beau Monde



Cute beanie the model's wearing. But that's not the focal point of the clothes. The focal point is, the jacket! Yes, the jacket! Forget funky patterned hoodies, forget ladylike cardigans, let's go for something big, bulky and androgynous for once! Like this jacket with the many pockets and those cute gold (I think??) buttons! I totally love the entire combination of this outfit. A word of fashion. If you're going to wear a baggy top, opt for more body fitting bottoms. And vice versa. You don't want to end up looking haggard if you're too baggy all over, or slutty if you're too tight all over. Dresses are an exception.

Victory Fashion



Just because some days we don't wanna wear the racerback or halter and have to wear a different bra. I mean, we've got limits with out strapless/halter/crossback bra straps, don't we?? So we can still go sleeveless in this. Minus the uncomfortable crossing/halter bra straps.

Candy Colour



I quote the blogger: How low can you go?? For those of us female species blessed with bigger boobs, I say go bra less in this while clubbing! Don't forget the nipple concealer. And don't jump around too hard, you might have a wardrobe malfunction in it.

Dress to Kill



This bag reminds me of chocolate and vanilla ice cream wafers. No idea why. Both are equally yummy! And I think this bag is just nice for lectures. It looks big enough to fit your jacket, bottle of water and some notes, perchance?

Vibrant Swirls



Christmas is less than a month away, so get in the mood with this dress! Adorned with mistletoes...mmm. Great excuse for a little peck with that cute guy or cousin!

Vejae



No more boring office wear! Not with this pinafore! Looks cute if paired with a ruffled button up blouse. Add a no fuss tank watch and a sophisticated necklace with some colourful peep toes and you're good to go! Do bear in mind that flashing your bra isn't too appropriate for the office though. For clubs - anything goes!

The Cute Closet



Gold buttons are not exactly my cup of tea, 'cause they tend to look quite tacky especially when paired with colours such as navy blue. Luckily, this pink and gold combo looks quite good together! Make it a romper-ish halter dress and you're good to go. This will look especially cute and sporty in a pair of sneakers. If you're not one to feel comfortable baring your back, you can wear a tshirt underneath it.

Tic Tac Toe



I bow to all things bright, pink and cutesy, especially this dress! So very striking, yet without being too much. Turn heads in the office with this dress. Who said office wear had to be dull?

Aphrodite's Touch



Don't look down on this humble black tank top. Sure, it's just a tank top. But with the right look, one can look extremely sexy and stylish in it. It is the wardrobe essential. I'll just give you a combo. Take this, one pair of dark wash jeans in whatever style you like, a brown woven belt, a long necklace or some chunky bracelets (never both together). Choice of shoes? Your pick. As for me, I'd prefer sneakers. So casual yet sexy. I love the look.

Miss Shopaholic's Closet



Yeah yeah, I did say I wasn't going to review anymore kimonos, but this is an exception. A particular exception, 'cause the design is very oriental and beautiful. Love the peacock shimmery flowers. I still don't like batwing sleeves, but I have to say, I like the design.

Fashion Unleashed

.
I must admit, I'm a tshirt-jeans girl. Why not? It's comfy, and with the right combination, you look cool instead of sloppy. Some girls just can't master the look. Or rather, they can't find the right jeans that suit them. I don't blame 'em. I'm still on the lookout for the ultimate jeans too. Anyway, I remember playing with paperdolls when I was a kid. It was so cool cutting out different clothing and tacking them on the dolls. Don't cut this one out though.

Favourite Boutique



I love this jumpsuit! Totally has that androgynous feel to it. Though from the picture, it kind of looks khaki coloured, and that colour is a little hard to match if you wanna look serious. :( 'Cause, you know, khaki is usually associated with the outdoors, soldiers and whatnot. If only these were dark grey and pinstriped, they'd so totally fit for the office!

Milky Cottage



Cute dress. Basic, yet cute. The white band makes it have the sailor-ish feel, and that fedora actually matches the dress! Though I say with something so simple, a quirkier fedora is needed! Polka dots, maybe?

Autumn Closet



Having a dinner with the parents and relatives, so you can't dress too sexily? Look sexy without baring too much skin in this spaghetti strapped, knee length dress. Yeah, so what if it's knee length? Knee length skirts hide your flabby thighs and show off your slender calves!

Velvet Ribbon



This dress. Is amazing. You have to go and read her blog to see how many ways there are to wear this dress! Back-to-front, off shoulder, fluttered sleeves, tube, oh the list goes on! Best thing is: The jewels on the collar of the dress. Lovely. Btw, Velvet Ribbon owner, those gladiator heels are gorgeous! Where did you get them?

Miss Capsicum



If your eyes are immediately focused on the houndstooth cape, please tear your eyes away (no worries, that is for sale too) on the bag. Yes, the adorable square bag that's totally reminiscent of a paper bag, but no, it's a tote! It's solid too, and it's fantastic for making a statement, compared to the soft, no-form bags. Get this one for a change. You won't regret adding it into your collection.

Peach Love



Cute halter top, or a dress for the extreme petites. Love the faux double-breasted appeal, and the fact that you can wear it to the office and then to the club! Just pair it with some lace tights if the top/dress doesn't expose your crotch, or some dark wash skinnies if they do. Add a pair of bright coloured shoes and you're good to go.

Peep



I love scarves. After I saw a uni mate wearing one, adding pizzazz to her tshirt and jeans, I told myself, I totally need one. I have one. But it's no crime having another. Especially a woolly snowflake scarf like this one!

Dress To Kill



Ditch the pinstripes and add some bling to your vest. If you're so afraid of standing out, these work well with just your average tshirt and denim skirt with sneakers. I love it! So bright and shiny!

Ministry of Clothes



Basic cardigans are needed in every girl's wardrobe to keep warm. Also, seeing as cardigans aren't nearly as thick or bulky as hoodies and sweaters, it's also convenient to be placed inside bags, making it convenient to be brought out at times of need - like in the cinema. If you get a perfectly fitting cardigan like this one, you could wear this with totally nothing underneath it. Except for, well, a bra. The good thing is that it's not zip-up, so people won't "accidentally" pull it down and reveal your lace for the entire world to see.

Ur Sidelines



Enough with hobo bags. Let's have a square tote for once. Why not this purple and white one, which makes a totally great colour combination? Great for when you're going out to the mall with the parents.

Glam Avenue



Another one of their strappy/strapless dresses. I really like this dark turquoise colour! Unfortunately, so does other people, 'cause this colour is already gone. No worries though, they have it in blue and black as well. What I love about dresses like these is that it goes well on its own.

Cheap As Chips



Ooh, sexy secretary look. Love its high collared Victorian inspired top, and they managed to make it look not that uptight by making the upper part of the dress sheer. Pair it with some flowery tights like in the picture, simple ear studs and maybe some b&w oxfords.

Ruby Dutchess



More clubbing gear! Also comes in purple and blue, plus you can tie that halter any way you like, so that cleavage part can also be a keyhole!

TH Couture



Love the hem details on this trapeze racerback dress. Makes up for the plainness of this dress. No fear though, a fancy cincher will do the trick. That, or a long necklace. Add some chunky bracelets if you're not wearing the necklace, and some gladiator heels.

Eve's Closet



This picture is so happy looking. Makes me wanna put on that tiered racerback top and some satin shorts and prance around on the grass or something. If you see closely, the straps are like that of a belt!
*Update: It's already sold out SOBS.


Finally, something I have not seen before. Very biker chick meets office lady. The best part is, you can wear this as an overcoat, a dress, or a top! You can zip it up all the way to cover up, or zip it down a bit and make a collar. Or, if you wanna be sexy, you can zip it lower still and show some cleavage or a plunging neckline. If you wanna be a real biker chick in this, pair it with some fishnets and wear a spiked faux leather choker or bracelet. :P

Garde-Robe



A trapeze dress suitable for the workplace. If I were you, I'd work that green one with some fancy tights and black pumps for that uptight yet colourful style.

Intolerably Cheap



Fancy a white woven tote from Esprit? I think this would go really well with the trapeze dress from above! It's not big enough to hold all the miscellanous items, but well worth enough for your essentials like wallet, keys, cellphone, lipgloss, etc etc.

The Cute Closet



This is such a cute little romper!! Omg, I totally want that pink romper (hint hint, Mr. Boyfriend) 'cause it would look so cute with that inclusive white tshirt and some high tops sneakers! Very nice for a day out (not shopping). Love the side buttons too. Though, I do have a teensy question. For those of y'all who already own jumpsuits, playsuits, rompers (however you like to call it) when you go to the washroom to pee, do you like, remove the whole thing?

Shopping Princess



Slim cinchers, because sometimes we don't like wearing broad cinchers and feeling a little tight around the waist area after a meal. Plus, these flowers are totally sweet. A nice accompaniment to that white babydoll top you have!

Style of 8



Wear this to the clubs and glitter! Be totally sexy in this baby blue mini fitting dress and some kitten heels and dance the night away.

Simpli-cious



Yay, another white top. Look demure in this with some light blue denim and ballet flats. String in some chunky bracelets and gigantic hoop earrings and you're good to go out of the house.

Miss.Glamm



I'm not usually a big fan of designer bags, especially those monogrammed Louis Vuitton ones. I don't know, they make you look kind of old, don't they? We only have a part of our youth to wear funky clothing, and the rest of our lives to use...classic monogrammed material. Okay I'm digressing. Anyhoo! This bag I can tolerate! In fact, I do quite like it! It's black, so the monograms are quite subtle. And I love the gold clasp and the hobo style. Thumbs up from me!

Forever Boutique



I know, we've been trying to avoid our blue/turquoise pinafore during our high school days like the plague, but this is totally cute! At least it's stylish, smocked, and babydoll! A word of caution; don't go sauntering around high school areas wearing this. You could be mistaken for a better dressed student.

The Kooky Thing



So we had satin headbands, ribboned headbands, checkered headbands, elastic headbands, glittery headbands...now how about some tweed headbands! I know tweed is totally British and old fashioned, but with a twist of young colour, it looks good! Besides, there's no better way to dress up a hairstyle than with some headbands.

Jolie d'amour



Yay for more smocked babydoll tubes. This striped one comes with a cute bow of the same material, as well as buttoned down buttons. You could wear this as a spaghetti strapped top too, if you like. Goes well with jeans that are not blue, because wearing an entire outfit of the same colour can be seriously tacky.

bagged

Hey, ladies! Sorry I updated a teensy bit late today; I was out the whole day, thus the lack of internet. This entry is gonna be all about bags, bags, bags! Remember what I said about how a girl can never have too many bags? Well, here you go.

Eye Catchers



How long has it been since we carried a knapsack around our backs? If you're not still in high school, chances are it's been more than a year. Remember when we phased out our knapsacks for sling bags in middle of high school 'cause they were deemed more "cooler"? Geeky is the new cool now, ladies. Besides, a knapsack ain't so hard on the shoulders compared to other type of bags, save for the fanny pack. :P

Bebel Nina



I remember spotting a giraffe-printed bag in one of those quaint little shops in Asian Avenue, Sunway Pyramid. I totally regretted not buying it, 'cause I can't find it back now. :( Although this bag here is from the older stocks of Bebel Nina, it's still for sale!

Audrilicious


Prom is coming up soon. If you're wearing an elegant but free-from-embellishments dress, this is the perfect accompaniment for you. Way to glam up your entire outfit in an instant! However, if your outfit is already sparkly, stay away. I repeat: stay awayyyy. There's nothing worse than being over-flashy that borders on tacky.


Bag Lovers





Slipping out of the house for a few minutes to the shops? Going out for drinks at your local mamak but don't wanna bring a huge bag along? Opt for this one! Just nice to fit your wallet, cellphones, and car keys, for the drivers.

Little McQueen





This one is for the college/uni girls on the go. Simple and fuss free, black goes with any outfit. It's even big enough to fit a laptop and more, so don't go hunting around for a suitable bag when you're all bleary in the morning.
Or if you're going for the preppy look, plaids are your best bet. I like how the dark turqoise goes with the faux leather; gives it a British vibe.



Feeling happy? Tell the world in this bright pink bag! Or feeling down? Brighten up your day with this happy clappy colour. Nothing like a good dose of reverse psychology to perk things up. Plus it's quilted; chances are it's soft. Good substitute for a pillow during those boring lectures...*cough*


Wanna be funky? This cute bag brings out your inner child! Bring it to escapades to the beach, zoo, or water theme parks.


VIP Closet


Going for a short trip? Ditch that uptight trolley bag; opt for a carrycase! Less chances of it getting lost in the check-in, and doesn't it gives you security to know that your belongings are close to you? If things get too heavy, there's a sling for you to hook on.
.
Now I'm off to scout for more stuff to review in the next post! Ta :)
