Some shopping to be done ^^

 I was browsing through F21 site just now and noticed the above Vibrant Retro Print Sweater! Doesn't it look familar?
Yes, the pattern is identical to the one I bought from Taobao :D

And so, finally I'm eyeing on some items from blogshop launches. 

 TTR Haute Stuff High Waist Jeans in Black

 Neon Glow Top in Periwinkle 

Neon Glow Top in White 

I don't know what colour to get for the top though. I like periwinkle but I can't help wishing the white will be the end of my endless search for the perfect white tank that goes well with all the bottoms. It's not low cut and comes with a keyhole at the back! My favourite kind of cutting!

Should I get both?

NOOOOOO

Okay I have 1 more hour to decide... and hope my fingers are fast enough tonight!

Hues of Blues

Ok, I thought I should just do my Instagram updates :D It's only 9am in the morning afterall! 

Yummy BBQ last last weekend!

Colourful blazers and jackets I dug out from my mum's old clothes pile. And they aren't old at all ^^

Dramatic sunset and reflection in the pond at MBS.Pity the ugly crane was there.

Waving goodbye to my friends...

Who likes fat furballs?
They are awfully fat.

My friend's cute bunbun bunny :)

I was reading the Harry Potter Quidditch Through the Ages and this is really silly. Those books (with the Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them) are really comic relief!

Okay, other than the Harry Potter books I borrowed all of these??! 
I am probably going insane and trying to be an Asian Guru.
Oh yes, I borrowed the Singapore one too, because I'm experiencing Culture Shock in Singapore as well :/

Long awaited Harry Potter Exhibition!
It was quite little though - but still a must check out for Harry Potter fans.
I just wish there was more stuff.

Fever Friday. 
And I slogged through the day in office. Hmm, luckily there was not much to do and anyway most people in the office are sick too.
What a flu bug.

Okay, now let's move on to my nail stuff. I think it's becoming some kind of addiction.

Paws in OPI I Don't Give a Rotterdam

OPI I Don't Give a Rotterdam is the only polish I got from the Holland Collection. It's a slate blue with silver shimmer and formula is fab! I have the Essie Smooth Sailing too and they are similar - not dupes but similar. 
But I haven't tried out the Essie one yet.
I have so many untrieds, because I always use the same old polishes...
And I just ordered a whole load from Taobao. Oops.

Did a quick tape manicure by adding A England Tristam, which is utterly gorgeous and and such superb formular and coverage. Pity the sun NEVER came out for the holographic particles when I had this manicure on (or I'm just spending the entire day indoors) until I removed it.
And this polish really impressed me that I ordered 4 more from A England since they had the discount. Only 5 pounds each :D 
Can't wait for them to arrive!

I realised my keyboard doesn't have the pound symbol... I wonder if this is gonna affect my typing when I go to London.

Pretty pretty OPI pale pinks.
They are really similar, I think I'm mad to get 3 pinks like this.

Cirque Ophelia over China Glaze Electric Beat!
Photo taken in the sun looks so good (refer to the A england one and you know why)

Cirque Ophelia sparkle tips with OPI My Pointe Exactly.
Really messy though, cos I forgot to tie my hair up and it kept destroying the manicure and getting in the way and it was so late that I can't be bothered to clean up)
 
Porcelain jelly sandwich with Cirque Ophelia and OPI Don't Touch My Tutu

See what I mean by using the same polish again and again??
I realised my nails grew longer and uglier.

Collection of blues and purples.

Ending off with this Myammar noodles.
Quite nice, but I don't like the chilli.

A Quick Review

Ok, let's do a quick review :) 

HVV Playday Basic Oversized Tee in Pink
Woah, okay the colour didn't turn out to be the coral-ish pink colour in the photos, and as expected it's the super bright cherry hot pink.Which is definitely a colour I don't have at all since I don't like hot pinks in general. 
Material is normal jersey cotton, it's comfy and slouchy for one thing. You can wear it long sleeved or half sleeved (as shown).

MGG Little Eyelet Bell Sleeves Blouse in White
Pardon the crumply blouse! This one is made of normal cotton, not very thick but not very sheer surprisingly. There isn't much eyelets in this blouse to speak of actually, so the main point is actually the bell sleeves? I like, makes me feel like some poet haha.

I'm dreadfully ill at the moment with a horrible flu so I don't think I'll do much updates this weekend. And I've got a scrapbook to do *faints*

Sparkle Tweed

I'm really glad to clear the OTD backlog today :D 

25/6: LB Artisan Victorian Blouse in White, TTR Flouncy Skirt in Navy

I love the super flouncy circle skirt! Seriously so much cloth and so flouncy :)
26/6: TTR Bohemian Rhapsody Blouse in Cream, Mango Black Pants

And one of my favourite tops. Because it has my favourite embroidery-ish stuff and the material is so smooth and silky. It's so slouchy and comfy.
Would be great if it's slightly less sheer though.
27/6: TTR Vintage 60s Mod Mini Dress in Navy

Okayy, TTR overkill, 3 days in a row.

28/6: HH Bohemian Embroidery Dress in Cream, F21 Braided Belt

Another one of my favourite dress. But after washing, when you hang it, the cotton outside shrinks and the lining becomes longer. But after it dries everything goes back to normal.
Weird...

29/5: F21 Zipper Crochet Tank in Burnt Orange, MGG I'm Pleaty Skirt in Beige

I think MGG is making new colours in a new material for this skirt. It's suede material and so much nicer IMO! The suede material is same as the one used for TTR All I Wish for Cardi Blazer.

A bit of visualisation:

Basically it's a suede twill material. 
If the price is the same, the new skirt is more worth it!
Doubt I will get another piece though, as much as I love the new material :(
Colour wise, I remember seeing black and wine as above at KJ.

3/7: CWC Scallop Tiered Blouse in Peach, Mango Black Pants

4/7: TDC Reversible Tee in Pale Yellow/Orange, Esprit Black Pants

I LOVE THE MATERIAL! So super luxe.

5/7: TSL Military Cuff Top in Teal, Mango Black Pants

6/7: H&M Basic Skater Dress in navy, Belt: Gifted, GoJane Tweed Toe Cap Flats in Blue

I love this new pair of flats, it's quite comfy and the subtle sparkle is like shimmering ocean. Wish pink and black were in stock though :(

9/7: LB Utilitarian Blouse in White, TTR Pleat and Flare Skirt in Seashells, TB Hot Pink Belt

Another of my favourite flare skirt with cute prints! My colleague said it's very nice too :)

11/7: TCL Tabbed Skater Dress in Forest

I don't really like the buttons for these (they have this embossed silver ribbon) and intend to buy some new ones to replace them!

12/7: HH Roman Pleats Dress in Dusty Purple, TB Hot Pink Belt

13/7: Ohvola Luxe Lavin Dress in Navy, F21 Braided Belt

And for Friday the 13th, we have had 3 this year already -.-

Okay, let me update my sin of the week:
 HVV Playday Basic Oversized Tee in Pink

Can't believe I bought this colour... hope it's a shade of coral rather than hot pink!
You know, the colour difference in HVV items...

And I got the MGG eyelet blouse in the previous post, thinking of joining BO for the LP Strawberry Tarts Dress so everything turned out much better than expected :D

And I bought some stuff from Taobao - have you guessed what?

Losing Touch

Today was/is such a bummer! Been unlucky with commenting and online shopping and offline shopping in general.

The offline part first - I decided to go the Bras Basah Complex Popular to buy some stuff and when I reached there it was slightly over 7pm and it was closed! There opening hours is only till 7pm! :(

Online wise...

I FAILED to get anything I wanted tonight!
If anyone is selling the LP dress and MGG top in white please email me at windy156@gmail.com :)

So the first piece I failed to get is this Strawberry Tarts Dress and it's because I didn't receive the mailer and didn't know they were launching at 9pm. I had been eyeing it since I saw the preview on facebook :(


The second piece is this MGG Little Eyelet Bell Sleeves Blouse in  White. Technically I even put an alternative colour but didn't get it as well. And I commented within 10-20 seconds when they launched?!?!
Honestly I wonder if I'm secretly blacklisted but I hope not :(
But seriously, almost everytime I want an item from MGG badly I NEVER GET IT. For unknown reasons. And the rare 2 times I emailed to ask because I commented within 5-10 seconds I was told they were simply sold out. 

Yes I'm a sucker for anything long sleeve, bell sleeve, have eyelet and white shirts. 
All these combined = MUST GET

The worst part is I will fail to attend all their self collections and have to rely on expensive and unreliable postage!

The TTR Fairylights Maxi Skirt in Indigo and Creme!
It's on what's available and XS is actually available. But I'm not sure if I should get them. I don't have a single maxi reason being I am not sure if I will ever wear it out. My dad will think it's way too glam. 
Should I?


Okay on the bright side, I save money.
But you know, sometimes you are just too upset you didn't get the thing you were lemming for... so...
THEY BETTER HAVE BO!

Like I haven't even managed to find the TTR Penny for your Shorts in White XS yet!!!

Okay, here are some stuff I actually managed to order from F21 a few weeks back, hope they are arriving soon!
All are buy 1 get 1 free deals except the Scallop Eyelet Top. But it's also a good deal :)








Meanwhile I'm like ordering 30 nail polishes from Taobao to try out Frankening or something. I'm mad.

I'll try to clear backlog soon! But I'm quite busy with all the random rubbish going on recently :(
When I get everything settled I'll be carefree!

I think I sound a bit angsty and disappointed in this post. Oh well.
