More Reviews

More items to review!


LB Livia Tank in Periwinkle XS
The material is nothing to rave about, just about the usual crepe material LB uses, decent but not worth the $25. I wouldn't have bought it if not for free normal mail. But most probably keeping this cos it fits me well (so hard to find proper tank tops without large armholes/PTP for uk4!) and I don't really have this colour in my wardrobe. And of course I've also been looking for an asymmetrical top for quite long ^^



LRH Smitten Suede Reversi Top in Forest
Got this at KJ today! I actually wanted to buy it when they first launched this but the price put me off and I was afraid it's going to be too large (large armholes again). Until today I saw the suede/velvet material, it's just so soft, so luxe and comfy to touch, and not really too large on me. And the colour got me sold. It's a rich deep emerald forest green, looks very royal haha. I would say it's one of the most gorgeous shade of forest green I have! With the 20% discount at KJ the price is still ok!
 


MGG Keep It Classy Dress in Blue S
Tried this at KJ today, was tempted to buy it today but didn't in the end. Should I buy it? The main reason I didn't buy is that I feel $32 for this dress is a bit steep. Material is viscose rayon like, VPL may be slightly visible. Other than that I'm pleased with the dress. Don't even need to iron or anything! Does it look like it's too formal to wear out usually? If it's a top I would have gotten it!

Review time!

Some reviews of items I just received from BO here, a bit disappointed this time :( 


LB Jeffers Skater Dress in Fuschia XS
 Material is the thick cotton-ish material which I expected, colour is nice but looks a bit mature on me? I like the pleated skater skirt! But it's a bit loose and long on me. Probably because of the thicker waist portion, shouldn't be keeping this even though I like it! Sigh, wish it was more fitting and shorter.


MGG When Embossed Meet Floral Flare Dress in Astral Aura Oriental XS
Wow, such a mouthful! It's been raved by many already, and yes the material is pretty good! Fit is alright on me, a bit snug but still bearable. Love the prints! But, the cap sleeves affect me more than I expected, it's either I snip them off or sell this. Any opinions?

FYI UK4, 159cm

Poppy Notes Madness

I think I better start blogging again before everything starts piling up!


19/3: LP Autumn's Child Shirtdress, TTR Poppy Notes HWS in Black

For St Patrick's Day/St Patty's Day, wearing green! This shade of green is gorgeous :)




20/3: HVV Sage Chiffon Blouse in Cream, TTR Poppy Notes HWS in Black, TTR All I Wish For Cardi Blazer in Black, F21 Grecian Sandles in Bronze

This was ultimately extremely uncomfy for my long day due to the tags. Both the blouse and cardi blazer had tags sewn with the scratchy nylon thread... really itchy :(



21/3 & 25/3: H&M Basic Skater Dress in Navy, Black Striped Flats from Indonesia

No time to dress properly and randomly pulled this dress out to wear. So happened on Sunday I had no time to dress up for dinner & dance (!!!) and grabbed this as well. Idential outfit, including bag and shoes. Okay yes I brought a school bag with drawing tube to DnD. I was rushing for an assignment. Great grab and go dress! I was terribly underdressed for DnD of course.



24/3: HVV Contra Sheen Blouse in Cream, TTR Poppy Notes HWS in Black, Black Striped Flats from Indonesia

Back to my trusty TTR shorts after it came out of the wash :)
And my addiction continued...


 

24/3: CWC Slouchy Pocket Tank in Pale Green, TTR Poppy Notes HWS in Cream

Finally wore out this tank! And finally a pastel outfit for spring.



26/3: Joyce Striped Tank in Blue/Cream, LB Theodora Knit Cardigan in Cream, Mayuki Basic black Shorts, Black Striped Flats from Indonesia

This was pretty comfy though quite badlt matched...

Last night, LB offered free normal postage for hitting 30,000 likes on facebook and I carted out Livia Tank in Periwinkle:


With the Jeffers Skater Dress coming as well, my dad is gonna burst out in madness at my parcels. Oh yes I promised to stop online shopping but it failed. Though I did shop/buy significantly less :)
But actually my spendings are diverted elsewhere like Taobao...

And today I started splurging on nail polishes.

 


China Glaze Techno - pretty sparkly glitter that instantly caught my eye


OPI New York City Ballet Collection Petites

I want to buy the Piroutte My Whistle standard size but it was OOS. Pretty polishes though!

Desert Charm


I saw this on F21.com and oh my gosh they are all so pretty! But I hardly wear accessories :(
Yes, they will most likely hang in the way...

But... I was so disappointed when I went to take a look. Almost all the ones pictured above aren't there. Out of stock already?!

SMooch CMKY Shift Dress in Green/Black


SMooch CMKY Shift Dress in Green/Black S

It's made of smooth polyester, the type which I'm taking a liking to these days :)
The dress is quite snug on me already though, at both bust area an hips area. I had a hard time putting it on too. Honestly I wonder if anyone larger than a UK6 can actually squeeze into size S of this dress. I'm quite petite and find the dress snug on me, yet it looks pretty loose on the model? Maybe the BO batch is smaller hmm... 
Nevertheless it's a chic dress to have! :)

FYI: UK4, 159cm

Taobao Crazy

Okay, my Taobao loots! Let's talk about them... firstly we have stationary, notebooks etc. I think I ordered one more postcard set but it was OOS and I didn't save a picture.


 Envelopes!


This is a convenient note set.


Journal/Diary. I got the design first one from left. The inside is really pretty and all pages are different.


Notebook with string bound around it. I got the yellow one. I thought the covering was cloth but it was paper. Nevertheless the yellow colour is really striking, bright and pretty! It's not plain paper inside too, it's printed with some vintage pattern.


Stationary holder. The 'wedges' inside are movable so you can create your own compartments. Comes with a black board on one side and white board on another. Also comes with 3 chalk, marker and duster. Good buy!


 Sticker! For my planner.

 This notebook was 20 cents unshipped? Quite cute but very small. Mine is in yellow. I think you can't choose the colour...


Postcard set with envelopes. Very pretty and quality is fab! Highly recommended!

Next up I have my knits. Okay don't say I'm crazy.
I know I am :(


Duo Layer Knit Pullover in Orange
It is extremely thick (due to double layer, the cutout one outside and another nude layer inside) and comes with scarf at top right! Colour is more like burnt orange in reality. Just feel that it's a bit long...


Fringe Colour Block Knit Pullover in Orange 
This one is very comfy, It's slightly batwing, long enough to be a dress. One major thing is the colour differs greatly from the photo above, the bottom is burnt orange and top is nude/taupe not cream. I expected it though, since photos in other shops depict the actual colours.


Pointelle Knit Pullover in Blue
This one is quite nice, it's a bit long once again. The sleeves are of good length but a bit tight. Colour and fit are good.


Ethnic Crop Pullover in Coral
This is mega comfy and cheap! I wore it out with the TTR Ringmaster HWS 2 weeks back. Really mega comfy. Good for rainy weather. Highly recommended! It comes in other colours too.


Metallic Threads Knit Pullover in Cream
Suddenly have a fascination with metallic knit. And this one is cream. The metallic thread shows off better on the blue pieces. I decided to buy this last minute because it's really cheap haha. The shoulder part is loose on me though, and it's a little long. I saw it selling at another shop at a much higher price!

Okay here is the shop with a more ATAS picture:



 Nautical Anchor Embroidery Knit Pullover in Navy
This one is mega comfy due to the material. It's furry and smooth! You'll love it. But it seems a bit inappropriate for our weather :( Length and fit are perfect!


Crochet Trim Cardigan in Dusty Pink
Very sweet and feminine looking, the cloth buttons, crochet and knit pattern and all are lovely. Perfect thickness for our weather. But it's a bit long for my liking and also too feminine so I'm letting go at $22. Price nego :) Yes, it's like the most expensive piece this time round, yet it doesn't fit me very well :(




 Eyelet Knit Pullover in Pink
I love this and wore it out 2 times already! Quite an achievement for spree loots :D The pattern, eyelet and colour match are just too gorgeous to resist!


Bell Sleeved Holey Knit Pullover in Turquoise
Much chunkier than expected. Colour is nice too. Because the holes let in air so it's not that hot! Very value for money as well!


Thursday Island Embroidery 3/4 Sleeve Cardigan in White
This one looks mega nice when worn and has great ratings so I bought it... and I lost it while repacking my bags of loot. Argh. It is the heaviest too. I remember it being soft, thick and plushy. Pity I never even looked closer at it or took it out of the bag.

From here onwards, they were OOS.


Thursday Island Cross Stitch Cardigan in Oatmeal
Keep going out of stock in cream/oatmeal/camel only leaving the lavendar. I thought lavendar was too pink. Reordered it :)


Soft and Plushy Knit Cardigan in Cream
No idea why it was OOS. Reordered too!


Furry Striped Knit Pullover in Navy
Reordered! Don't know why I just like it.

And lastly, my backpack :)


Baby Cord Bag in Mustard
Got the mustard one because my friend said it's the nicest and the bright colour is tempting too. The quality, material are so good! I love corduroy and the suede at the bottom! The bag retains shape but isn't heavy so it's perfect for school and all my rubbish. I got another one in brown! Till now, most people notice this bag and say it's cute, nice etc :) Highly recommended!

And I found a lot of items from local blogshops while browsing Taobao.

See if you recognise them :)



TTR Snuggly Knit Top
In 5 colours!
This one wasn't really much cheaper though. But I sure there are shops selling it at much cheaper price. And I bought the apricot one from TTR. Haven't worn it yet haha.


TTR Under The Mistletoe Cardigan
It costs less than 10 SGD on Taobao as it was on clearance. I bought it at $27 from TTR. Taobao has it in other colours too, but this colour combination is the nicest in my opinion.
Actually I tried finding this on Taobao before buying from TTR but couldn't, don't know why it popped out suddenly.


TVD Crochet Crop Top
It's being sold at $27 at TVD! But Almost every shop on Taobao sells it at SGD $10 and some less so I highly recommend you to buy on Taobao instead! Other blogshops are also selling but I think TCL sold it at $22?


 TTR Garden of Love Knit Top
$30 at TTR?! I bought it haha. But I had a discount. Still. TB's one looks thinner though. They have more colours and the cardigan version as well :)


Not from any blogshop, but a handmade bag! I'm lemming for it. But the price is insane so I'll give it a miss. Boohoo.

There's another Boho bag which I like but I'm lazy to find it again. Better forget it.
