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. :)

Tictactoe RM50



I'm on a hunt for office wear that's not totally formal, but yet formal enough for the office. And this ruffled top here makes the cut. You don't have to worry about not being able to fit through that tiny collar, cause there's a zip all the way down the top! Now that's pretty cool.

You can either zip it all the way up to the collar, or zip it down a little to get a breather. Tee hee.


My Clothes Affair RM16



Plain tank tops are the bomb! They go with just about anything; skirts, pants, the works. The best thing about it being plain is that your bottoms can be full of details, and they work just well enough with it.

Good news is that they're going for RM16 each. Everywhere else I've seen sells them at RM20 the least, so this is quite a steal.


What's Your Flavour? RM39



You know, I never liked kimonos. I felt that they made you look fat, unproportionate, and well...fat. And I didn't like that whole flutter-sleeves thing. It would be so disgusting and slutty to be able to see your bra?

But surprisingly, I quite like this kimono dress. Maybe it's the cutting or the design, but it doesn't actually make the model look quite unproportionate. And despite all my negative statements about kimonos, I've always wanted to try on a plain one and see if I look nice in it. Hehehe I'm such a hypocrite!


La'Belle Closet RM20



I love tank tops. You can never go wrong with them, and just about everybody looks good in them. Unless of course, you spoil the look by wearing a wrong bra with it. Unless you have really pretty bra straps, please don't show them off when you wear racerbacks.

Plain tank tops are the bomb, but aptly designed tank tops are the nuclear (wtf I'm so lame)! This skull-and-bone design is just so cool, with a rocker chick kind of feel. You should see the combination they have with the skirt and studded belt. So fierce.

If you wear it with baggy pants and sneakers and studded cuffs, it'll be even more fierce. Rawr!


Dr. Pizzicato RM36



I was looking through some online boutiques during my lab class (shh!), and I came across this skirt. I was like, ohmygod! This is too good to be true. I first saw the Miss Selfridge picture and thought, nah, their version can't be that good. I was wrong. It is so nice. So pretty! That I had to show it to my friends. They couldn't agree more.

For one, the colour is so nice and bright. How often do you have skirts in this shade of happy? Hardly. Also, it's a little high-waisted. Just the perfect thing in trend right now. Finally...you can wear it as a formal wear! Absolutely perfect for me, as I have an internship going on the next semester. Formal wear is such a bitch, but with lovelies like this popping up, I think I'll be having a lot of fun dressing up for the office!

I can already think of a combination for this. A white tank top, plus multi-layered long necklaces, plus a cropped blazer, this skirt, and black heels. Perfect!

Hello, people. I am so sorry for the lack of updates. :( I haven't written a review for days and the laziness has caught up to me. Ergo, the outdated clothes.

Vibrant Swirls



I like how this dress has a casual yet formal feel to it. Be warned though - not everyone can pull off turtlenecks, especially if you don't have a long neck. If you find this dress a little too plain for your liking, there are always plenty of colourful and embellished cinchers for you to choose from.
Groomy Room



From plain, we come to fancy. I am liking the abstract prints on the dress! If you didn't already notice, there are two little peep holes near the neckline. Way to show off little bits of skin! A thick belted cincher would be perfect to add some body to this straight cut dress.

Style of 8



There's a reason why so many of the major reviewers reviewed this pair of shoes. It's so obvious; they're gorgeous! Easy slip ons, and there's the quirky little diamante button or whatever you call it for you to grip on, lest the shoes slip off. Heels like these elongate your legs, and they work well with skirts.

Still Sisters



How often do you see an orange bag? Black, brown, and white are so last year (haha, I'm a hypocrite). Get bright coloured bags like orange, lime green, and fuschia! If the orange isn't enough to make you fall in love with this bag, I'm sure the design will.

Sara.my



I would like to stress again that Valentine's Day is coming up! So for guys, HINT HINT. Every girl needs a wristlet, so why not make it this baby pink (which girly girl doesn't like baby pink?) Victorian Secret wristlet? Ladies, if your boy doesn't read this, make sure you deliberately leave this page open (at this section!) for him to see.

The Sticker Monster



Blinging your phone has never been this easy. If you're the type who doesn't like to glue each and every little piece of diamante, rejoice, for there are sheets like these! Give your phone a little punk rock makeover ala Avril Lavigne with these black and pink stars.

D Lookin Glass



If you're going to venture into the amazing world of tights, let me introduce to you a sample of what can be worn with them. This kimono-like long top cum supershort dress. Nice green shade! You can wear them with coloured tights. Try...dark purple! If you bought a supershort skirt or dress that you don't dare to wear out, wear them with tights. And heels. Please, no sneakers. Not unless you have mile long legs.

A Girl's Wardrobe



Tie dyed and gradients are usually associated with hippy style, but not when you have gorgeous dresses like this one. Looks a bit romper-ish, but I can assure you that pairing this with high top sneakers will look pretty good. Add one of those bangles that you can push up till your arm.

Velvet Ribbon


Presenting to you another long top cum supershort dress! Though this might be a little too short a dress for the tall ladies. For the petites, this will work just fine with tights. Yeah. Don't you just love the tie dyed bits and the tiered parts on the side? Something different to add to your wardrobe.

Like Seriously



This came out like, a few times but I didn't get a chance to review it cause it got snapped up so quickly. With good reason too, because can you see how gorgeous it is!! I am seriously contemplating on getting one too. If you missed out, you have another chance on getting these shoes!

This is the lazy girl's guide to reviewing fashion. Post tonnes of pictures, but give one liner comments, or don't comment at all. And everything here are (almost) all the emails in my inbox. In this entry there are no favourites; just chances. Rest assure that this will only happen like, once in a blue moon.









Gorgeous halter! It has the CNY feel, but yet it's not too much, because there's no fire engine red.

Pastel Stripes



What's on sale is actually the skirt and leggings combo. They're not separate pieces, but faux two piece items! Just treat it as a get-out-of-jail-card by wearing a supershort skirt but yet it's not a supershort skirt.

Junkz Deluxe



That dress just spells quirky happiness. Like sunshine on a gloomy day.




Stripes of candy coloured goodness in one dress!

My Clothes Affair




An oriental cincher to match the upcoming CNY. Do hurry though, as only the grey one is available now.

Apple Cabin




Burberry on your skinny belt! What's next? Pair with shorts for the best look.

Phelauwer Boutique



That's the blazer for sale, mind you.





Monochromatic beauty in a simple office-suited dress. Pair with pumps.





They're a new pre-order shop, so there's only like, less than five items for sale. This high necked Victorian-esque dress is my pick.

The Dressy Dresser




Valentine's in a month's time. Give him hints with this earrings.











Very Burberry meets East!















Ooh-lala! Sexy bejewelled LBD for a night out at the clubs.






For the days when you don't feel like torturing your feet in heels, opt for flats. Preferably a shiny one like this.






And here we have an intricately designed floral cincher. A thick waistband to fake a teeny waist.

The Bouncing Bananas



Some days we don't like playing grown-up. During those days, we wear our childhood motto; Mickey Mouse! And prance around the mall eating cotton candy.

Le Femme Fatale


If you're a fan of Britain, proclaim your love with this awesome sling bag!


Their Starbucks tee was reserved too quickly! I'll have to settle for this old school radio tshirt.

The Kooky Thing


Ribboned top is the one for sale.

Eve's Closet


The cincher is the one for sale.

Tic Tac Toe

This will definitely help shape a waistless body. Just tie the sash as tight as you can go!
If this doesn't scream sexy to you, then you fail in the sexiness factor! How can it not be sexy? It has all the essence of sexiness; lace, bustier, and red.

Aphrodite's Touch
Brown bag with braided handles. Perfect for bottled water, cellphone, notepad, pencilcase and whatnots.

Yogurt Barcode

Sexy romper! Black, satin, the works. It's from Zara too. Mmm.

Jen's Closet
You know the Japanese love layering and layering. You can do the same too, with this! Best of all you can wear them as separate pieces. That's a scarf, dress, and spaghetti strapped top there.

Ai Shop
Now have you seen a multicoloured, multi-designed romper before? No you have not! That's why you should get this.

Tweede-hands
Like omg I saw this kimono and fell in love with it. Plain and white, but with the bejewelled band there, it's awesome!

House of Beauty


I'm not really into this overly floral chiffon puffy sleeved type of dresses, but you have to admit, this kicks ass.

Flitterby



Emerald green at its best! Very oriental, yet very English rose.
