Part 2

More Haul, from ASOS and TTR and TCL mainly.

TCL Made for you Jeans in Navy Blue
High waist, with pockets!!
I've been wearing those Amercian Apparel inspired pocketless jeans and I really want one with pockets - even though I won't use them.
TTR Cooper Cut in Top in Periwinkle
Once again, sucked in by the colour's name.

TTR Good Girl Flare Skirt in Navy
Love the nautical look and gold buttons, plus pockets.
Plus I literally wore this 10 days in my holiday with the denim one... cos it is so fuss free!
TTR Marni Skorts in Marble
Got tempted by all the photos on Instagram and the "in" thing about marble, maybe my flatmate's marble laptop sticker.
Wish it had pockets, I think it doesn't?

TTR Petal Flare Shorts in Rainbow
Prints!!!
Pockets!!!

TTR Tux Collar Romper in Red Checks
The gingham rage is in me!
It has pockets!
Well I'm not too sure about the neckline and straps, but it's cute ^^

TTR Willow Midi Skirt in Buttercup
Yellow! Sense a trend?

AFA Sienna Slit Back Tank Dress in Sunshine
The story goes:
Once upon a time, at a cafe, I saw a girl in a flowy white tank dress and I fell in love.
And one fine day I realised that dress may be the white version of this. But it's sold out. Glad they launched it in yellow!
Although I would have liked the white, or maybe the black but size S is oos :(
Flowy, comfy, tank dress.
Sunshine is happy too!

TCL Oriental Dreams Romper in Blue
Aha my dad must have gotten a nightmare seeing this.
Oh well...
I like the porcelain look, but wished the material wasn't textured.

TTR Cassie Side Lace Shorts in White
Still looking for the perfect white shorts.
Hope it's not too sheer and the lace is subtle!
The smaller sizing attracted me for this.
Hopefully there's pockets?
But I begin to doubt.

ASOS Chainmail Necklace
Hahah it's fun to flip around.


ASOS Dockland Plimsolls
Been eyeing this for SUPER long, I'm so glad it went on sale and I got it at further 20% off with Black Friday!

ASOS Textured Jacquard Dress in Blue
Well, loose, comfy, but I bet sheer too...
And had to size up cos it's oos, so it's long :(
Would be perfect if it's shorter!

ASOS Multi Row Filigree Pendany Necklace
Ah, the fake quartz
It's really bohemian, I like!
And the filigree.

ASOS Sleeveless Check Shirt
I love the preppy look.
But sizing runs large :(
Even though I got the petite!

Mango Drop Hem Embroidered Dress
One again, the loose, flowy, romantic, bohemian thing.
Pity it's too long, I love it so much I'm thinking of altering it.


Mango Mirrored Sunglasses
No comments, hahahah

Pull & Bear Floral Skater Dress
It'll probably be too large...

Pull & Bear Lace Skater Dress
A steal at £6.50!!
Hope it's not too big or long.

Pull & Bear Tropical Vest Top in Multi
Am I the only one who is upset with their free postage only with £20?
Because that's the only reason why I bought this!
I suppose I though it'll be perfect for a beach holiday but how many beach holidays can I have a year???
And I already have so many sundresses.

River Island Lace Insert Tunic
Looks awesome over the Trapze Freepeople slip!


TCL Mornington Poppies Shorts
Can you believe I actually forgot I bought this?!
Okay it's flare, with pockets, probably good for travelling, but not so much since the base is white.
But comfy? :D


Fall Hall

The title is a lie but here are the stuff I got around fall.

LB Emilie Frock in Sunshine
I had this sudden thing for loose fitting dresses, flowly and edgy. 
This is happy at least!
But it's a bit long.


TTR Keepers Tailored Shorts in Monochrome and Vibrant Florals
Reviewed them already!


New Look Embroidered Hem Cami in Coral and Turquoise
These are cropped, I'll imagine they will be awesome in summer, plus they are as cheap as chips during the sale!
But REALLY I don't need both colours.

New Look Pink Chiffon Boxy Shirt
Wanted to return this but missed the date :(

New Look Oriental Print Wrap Shorts
I liked the lotus-ish prints and it fits - but it's from teens section!
Oh well...
Wrap shorts are growing on me, when they first came out with all the origami shorts I was like.........
Thought I might wear for fall but I haven't yet.

And I'm so irritated with New Look photos.



New Look Bird Floral Branches Kimono
I love this!!
Lovely material and fits so well! 
Not that I think kimonos are meant to fit.
Oh and the prints are love!

New Look Cream Embroidered Tassel Kimono
If such things are practical I'll wear them everyday.
I love the romantic, bohemian, embroidery, tassel, breezy, white, freepeople look!

New Look Embroidered Side Swing Cami in Light Pink
Wanted to return as well but forgot :(
Shall wear it for work next time, but it's a bit sheer.

New Look Mint Lace Crochet Tank
Pretty vibrant colour!
Will look great with white bottoms

New Look Tassel Cami in Cream
As mentioned above, the tassle... but so impractical!
Summer it shall be!
I think people in SG will totally judge me for wearing it.


New Look Embroidered Lace Shell Top in Cream and Pink
I love this material, I think it's crinkle cotton?
It's so comfy, no-need iron, light, breezy, romantic, bohemian and I love it even more when paired with lace and crochet.
I had a similar one from New Look in summer and it matches everything - I think it was called a hankerchief top.
The thing is I wore it a lot of time!
And I wore these 2 out too!

Bershka Super High Waist Skinny Jeans in Blue
Been wanting a pair of jeans in this colour.
These are super stretchy, comfy and high waisted!
But alas, too long for me the shortie.

Bershka Neoprene Skirt
I saw it in Singapore and even though i had loads of these flippy skirts I still got these.
I had a hard time deciding between the white and blue, since my friend had the blue I got the white --- she thinks the white is nicer but she only say the blue when she got it!
But it's too loose :(
Pretty prints nonetheless!


TTR Dakota Skirt in Navy and White
Loved my black piece so...
But I think they changed the material, and sizing also runs bigger.
At least it still has the pleats and pockets and I am still on the lookout for a perfect white skirt.
Really should have gotten the LB mesh one!
Or the old white Dakota!
Hopefully this will be nice


Sheinside Crochet Pullover
I imagined them to be looser, but no they aren't really oversized.
White one is larger.
Sigh...


Sheinside Faux Fur Coat
The outer is super comfy! I had been debating for a long time whether to get it, but now I think if I wear it out I'll look like a sheep... woes :(

Finders Keepers

Don't the flowers look great blooming on the grass? 
Managed to snag these 2 pairs of shorts from Kissjane before I left, together with the Maven Tee Dress in Monochrome (my main goal) so I'm happy happy! 
But they cost a whooping $5-6 more than online :(

Anyways, reviews...


TTR Keepers Tailored Shorts in Vibrant Florals and Monochrome XS
Material: Awesome thick polyester material, smooth to touch, together with the lining both are non-sheer! Quite crease resistent too!
Size: Not consistent? The vibrant floral piece is larger than the monochrome piece even though both are XS :(
Design & Comments: I got them both because of the floral prints, and since I got both Tee Dresses, you can see I really love these 2 prints (also because the material is great). They are nice fuss free shorts with pockets, and I think the monochrome piece is wearable for winter too! One thing that annoys me a little is that the folds at the hem keep "flapping" down because it's only sewn up at the sides, so I think I'll be sewing them at more areas to prevent them from flapping down.

That's all for now, I'll try to review the Maven Tee Dress in Monochrome, if I manage to wear it out!

In case you have noticed, my photos are "smaller" than the past. That's because I switched a phone and the resolution is different, I cannot upload and put the image as XL or original size because it's too big, and when I choose "large" it's the above size.
Sorry if I'm rambling nonsense :<

Sunny Yellow Banana Days

Review Spam and Comparisons!

TTR Pina Colada Shorts in Pineapples XS
Material: Smooth Polyester, thin, doesn't crease easily. Not sheer.
Sizing: XS fits me well, I'm a UK 4.
Design & Comments: I bought this because of the cute pineapples, but it turns out to be a really fuss free pair of shorts! Pockets are a bonus! 
Cutting wise it's exactly the same as the Petal Flare Shorts, but due to material it's more lightweight. I didn't compare with the Magnolia Shorts because I'm lazy to take out, but I think it should be slightly longer and maybe less flare.

TTR Petal Flare Shorts in Periwinkle XS
Material: Smooth Polyester, slightly weighted. Same colour and material as the Willow Midi Skirt.
Colour:  Pretty periwinkle! Actually just a baby blue colour, not a lot of purple tones. More blue and a bit darker than this photo. I don't find it sheer.
Sizing: XS fits me well, tiny bit loose.
Design & Comments: This pretty colour will look really nice with a white top! As with the Pina Colada Shorts, it's really fuss free and the pockets are a bonus!

TTR Premium Willow Midi Skirt in Periwinkle XS
Material: Smooth Polyester, same as the Petal Flare shorts and exact same colour. This midi is rather weighted. Not sheer.
Colour: Quite true to the photo above
Sizing: XS is loose for me, I have a rather long torso and hence "long" waist. Also, my waist is disproportionately smaller. It's very hard to buy high waisted stuff for me, because it really has to be very tight if not it will slide down. Plus this midi is very heavy so it will definitely slide down.
I have been buying from TTR because last time they were one of the few BS that sold XS or 11" waist, but I realised they are starting to sell XS at 11.5" waist which is loose for me and I always have to alter the skirts :(
Design & Comments: Good for twirls, it has a lot of cloth!!! Pockets are great too. Really pretty :D Till I get it altered...

TTR Heartbreaker Midi Skirt in Gingham
Material: Slightly stretchy cotton blend, pretty thick. Non-sheer.
Sizing: XS is loose for me, and I am too lazy plus too expensive to alter all my skirts so I'm selling this.
Design & Comments: I have a gingham craze now, hence I bought it. But it's heavy as well and keeps sliding down, and doesn't look nice. I'll be letting this go, please email at windy156@gmail.com if keen!

TTR Get Lucky Midi in Sunshine, White, Peach XS
Material: Thick smooth polyester, fully lined. Same material as the Havana Skorts below. White is slightly sheer if you tuck in bright or dark coloured tops.
Colour: Pretty true to my photos above. However, I find that under certain lighting, sunshine tends to look greenish.
Sizing: XS is loose on me because the skirt is weighted. This skirt is hard to alter because of the pleats too.
Design & Comments: Love the pockets! And I think it's a great basic midi dress, plus it's not as long as usual midis. Unfortunately, I don't want to alter all of them, I think I'll only keep 1, I'm open to keeping any of the colours that is unsold so if you are keen to buy any of the colours drop me an email at windy156@gmail.com :)
TTR Magnolia Maxi Skirt in White XS
Material: Chiffon material, I won't say it's super smooth. It's definitely the thinest and most lightweight of all the skirts mentioned above. It's sheer if you tuck in bright or dark coloured tops.
Sizing: XS is fine on me, it's the only skirt I bought that fits well without altering. Length is good for me too, I'm 159cm.
Design & Comments: No pockets! Pardon me I have no space to take photo of the whole maxi. The prints are just very pretty la :D

TTR Havana Skorts in White XS
Material: Smooth thick polyester, same material as the get lucky midi! Not sheer, but VPL can be seen.
Sizing: XS is fine on me. Again, it's like mid-low waist shorts for me due to my long torso which I don't find very flattering for this design :(
Design & Comments: It's the same cutting as the Wrap Party Shorts (pictured behind)... I don't know how long the trend of origami shorts will last. Right now I like the pockets and easy of wearing/pairing of the shorts!
TTR Cooper Cut In Top in Forest, Buttercup, Black S
Material: Thick Cotton, it's double layer so quite thick. Not sheer. Hope the material doesn't go out of shape.
Colour:  Buttercup is brighter and warmer then the studio photos, it's true to the photo below. Forest is as per studio photos.
Sizing: S fits me fine, not too tight not too loose.
Design & Comments: Just a basic top! Can be worn with normal strapless bra!
Comparison with LB Basics Ashley Tank White XS
This is finally the true colour of the buttercup piece. 
As can be seen, the LB piece is longer, and the cut in part is more curved, whereas TTR's is geometric. Also LB has a button closure. 
Material wise, I prefer LB's because it's softer and smoother - feels more lycra-ish but doesn't cause the budges. But the length of TTR's is better, because I will mostly be wearing this tucked in, I don't need it to be too long.
Sizing wise, they are about the same.


TTR Maven Tee Dress in Vibrant Florals S
Material: Smooth Polyester, really comfy! It's lined but note the lining only measures like 25", way too short for a dress.
Colour: I didn't manage to get monochrome florals :( This colour is nice too, but I think I'll be selling this and getting the monochrome piece instead.
Sizing: Size S fits me comforbably as a Tee Dress.
Design & Comments: As mentioned, the lining is really short, and the slit is quite high up. Even at 159cm I won't be wearing this as a dress. Probably will wear shorts or tuck into a skirt. If it didn't have the slit problem, it'll be such a fuss free dress to throw on!
TTR Hera Lattice Top in Buttercup XS
Material: Chiffon material, fully lined, I don't find it sheer.
Colour: More yellow than above photo
Sizing: XS is alright on me, a tiny bit loose.
Design & Comments: This is an older design, I was all crazy over yellow that's why I bought it. The lattice neckline is really unique! Plus it has anti-slip. However, I'll be letting this go as it's a bit loose for me, and I think too "sexy" for me to wear usually. Email me at windy156@gmail.com if keen!
All yellow comparison! But actually everything should be a tone more yellow... As you can see the midi skirt is more green-toned than the rest.
