All in one go :)

As promised! 


18/4: TSR Panel Shirt in Nude, Challures HWS in Black

So oversized, but so comfy! The design is really edgy but I can't carry it off sigh :(


20/4: TTR Must Be Love Scoop Back Dress in Forest, Accessorize Embellished Bag, TB Soft Plushy Cardigan in Cream (not seen)

Wore this to study the at the going to be closed down soon KAP. It's really sad they are closing the place down, I've got 6 years worth of memories there, going there almost at least once a week... All the good times. I must head down there to have Island Creamery soon too!

After studying I had beef noodles at Beef Noodle House :) I much prefer the student one since they don't have to extra "beef part" which I don't eat. The beef noodles are really delicious, worth a try for $7.
And their Phad Thai increased in price to $10?!

23/4 (today): Imagine Girl Pleat Shirt in Orange, TTR Ringmaster HWS in Navy, Black Striped Flats from Indonesia, Twodo Basic Black Cardigan

I can only say I love the colour of this shirt! Love it even more when I pair it with a certain necklace, but I didn't wear it today.


Here are some stuff I tried at KissJane. I think the staff probaby hates me since I try to many and (almost) never ever buy any.


TTR My Fair Lady Lace Blouson in Mint
Alright, I was eyeing on this but it's seriously oversized on me. So that's money saved. Mint is really really pretty though! I'm lusting for mint coloured items suddenly! Pastel mint to be exact. I'm lusting after TTR's Fairylights Fishtail skirt in Mint now hohoho!
Alright back to point, the lace details are pretty and I find the back buttons so cute! Material is smooth and good :) Oh this piece I tried on is defected by the way, not sure if you can spot why? ;)


MGG Bella Lolita Jumpsuit in Blue (S)
Hmm blue looks so muted in real life compared to their pictures. Haha it's very comfy for sure, but very lowcut too :( 


Upcoming TTR Floral Top (S)
Smooth and silky, this material is love! And it's lined. Comes with a keyhole button closure at the back - a detail which I love. I would have wanted to get it if not for none of the prints appeal to me. It comes in 2 prints, the above in black and cream, and some apple-ish print in forest green and grey. The apple-ish print one material has a slight sheen.

I wish they could find the original print. Don't you think this print is absolutely gorgeous?
Or this one?



Upcoming TTR Peterpan Top in Cream with Black Collar with TTR Pleats and Flare Skirt in Seashells (S)
Love the top, I didn't get the polka version previously because I don't really like polka dots, but this one is a must get! Material is awesome-ly smooth and it's lined (for cream only).
I bought the skirt from the launch, size S is slightly loose so I have to wear a belt but the prints are gorgeous and material is smooth and silky.

Overall pleased with the material of the pieces I tried :)

Throws Confetti!

I have been good recently, I haven't bought much from blogshops!
*Throws confetti*
But I have sinned from Taobao so I guess it's not making much difference. I spent way more than normal this month due to the nail polishes and F21 :(

Here is my buy from last night:


TTR Pleats and Flare Skirt in Seashells!

The prints are so pretty! I tried it at KJ and it was loose for me, but I guess a belt will do the trick. The material is so smooth and silky :D

I wanted to get the lace top too but after trying it's way too oversized. Tried on some of their upcoming tops as well and another collar top caught my eye! I was eyeing their floral top upcoming in collection 101 but none of the prints appeal to me :(

I'll try to post the reviews and my OTDs soon!

Sales :D

I've updated my sales journal, and slashed off loads of prices! Because my wardrobe is literally exploding and I have no space to keep all my new buys.

I don't really have time to add in new items this week but here's one:


Challures Luxe Embossed Hampton Dress in Nude (S)

Unfortunately size S is slightly loose at the PTP for me so I have to let go in the end. 
$24 mailed only! 
Negotiable

More blogshop stuff here:
All BNIB!

And for my spree loots I usually sell them here: 

I'm generous on discounts and negotiations :) 
(For some/most items, especially those from burgerdelicious)
BUT, quote me the price you would like and I'll consider.
DO NOT just ask me for the best/lowest price. I find it so silly, giving you a lower price just because you write "lowest price?"
It's like you didn't even put in any effort to ask for a discount.

Yes, purchase of multiple items will usually get very good discounts. I even give more than $10 off.

My Indonesia Shoes

I must share these awesome buys! Flats I bought from Indonesia. I've been wearing them daily now (okay the black striped ones), they are all made of cloth and extremely soft and comfy. I don't think anyone will get blisters from them.

And the best thing is they cost less than SGD$5 each. 
The black one is actually very durable so it's a good deal!
I can't vouch for the rest yet because I've yet to wear them.

I'm Taobao Crazy I know, or just knit crazy

Ok as promised, I will blog about my Taobao loots when they arrive! Finally collected them today after them getting stuck at the customs :( 

The first 3 items are those that I reordered.

Striped Plushy Knit Pullover in Navy
Comfy, decent thickness and very versatile. My first navy throwover! Good quality!

Soft and Plushy Cardigan in Cream
Love this to the max, seriously soft and plushy, oversized and comfy, I can sleep in this :) My favourite. Okay it's pretty oversized but it was meant to be. If there's one thing I don't like, it's that the pearl buttons are really ugly. Okay I don't like pearls :(

Thursday Island Cross Stitch Cardigan in Oatmeal
From Thursday Island and it did not disappoint. A bit long for me but... oh well. Comfy :)


Floral Prints Linen Shirt
This is unfortunately way too big/long for me, a poor uk4. The prints are really really lovely and the buttons are just so cute! So are the small pockets!
Should be okay for uk6 if you are taller than me and best for uk8-10 :) it drowns me. And I'm short.
I'm selling this at $18, let me know if you are interested! Quality and workmamship are great!

Sequin Furry Knit Cardigan in Peach
This piece is gorgeous, the material is awesome and comfy! The sequins are relatively comfy for a sequin knit :) A score!
Not to mention I totally love the colour!


Basic Knit Pullover in Cream
Colour is true to first picture... now what to say. I think I ordered this in size S but they sent me size L!!! It's way too big for me. It's still like the topshop piece and I'm sure it'll be very versatile but it looks oversized to be an oversized throwover. I won't if I should buy it again in S because the knit is really soft and lovely. Love everything about it except the size grrr. It's not really sheer though it's holely, but it means it's relatively good for our weather!

Thus, I'm selling this cheaply for $15! Good deal :)
Else I'll just wear it oversized -.-
It should be ok as an oversized sweather for uk6, but fit much better for uk8 and above.

Thursday Island Applique Cardigan in Navy
Very nice! Comfy and of suitable thickness! Those Thursday Island things don't disappoint!


Thursday Island Striped Cardigan in Orange
Probably my top or second favourite of the lot. Good for Singapore, the knit is absolutely gorgeous, and there are crochet at some places. Colour is awesome too! Fit is fab. Extremely intricate and looks a million bucks. 
I'm thinking of buying it in Navy, should I?


A note about Thursday Island:
I think it's a Korean Brand, I've never heard of it until I started shopping on Taobao but their items appeal to me. I'm very particular about workmanship and details and I love those embroidery, stitches, applique, crochet, cute buttons, trimmings and intricate stuff. TI's items pays extra attention to details and they are comfy! Even if it's a plain cardigan they will spice things up a little, subtle but lovely.

Tribal Baby Cord Backpack in Chocolate
Hehe got another colour in case my mustard one wears out. Don't tell anyone!

Anyway, I have to be honest that this chocolate one isn't of as good quality as my mustard piece. WAIT, I didn't mean quality is poor, it's still good, just that the mustard piece is exceptional and comparable to those branded ones. That's why I bought another one.
But this one is from a different shop, because chocolate was OOS from the original shop. Still, it's around the same price but the inner lining is of a lower grade and the bottom suede part is lighter and slightly less structured. I find the baby cord a bit softer too, but it looks more luxe so it's not really a minus point. The trimmings and everything else are essentially the same. 

H&M Striped Cardigan
This was OOS, and I'm glad too... haha but the stripes are pretty!
I won't reorder, I figured out I have enough!

/

And lastly we have this pair of flats which I saw on a TW spree website. But I couldn't order it because I can't find a spree for it in time when the auction was nearly over. It's so lovely, have you seen anywhere else selling? The colours are so pretty!

Rainy Days

Not much OTDs recently because I've been 1) staying at home, 2) have no time to take photos. Ahhh getting lazier too!


10/4: Imagine Girl Oversized Knit Throwover, Joyce Basic Skater Dress in Black, F21 Sandles, PG Bag

It was raining that day :/ but the knit throwover is really really comfy!!


11/4:  HVV Isoceles Blouse in Coral, TVD Chic Porter Shorts in Navy, Flats from Indonesia

Wore this to run errands and print portfolio... and at the printing shop the button of the shorts came off. But I didn't realise the bronze thing on the floor was the button until much much later, so I went all the way back to retrieve the button but can't find it! Luckily TVD included spare buttons. Imagine what would have happened if the Denim Empire shorts had dropped buttons? They don't include spare buttons for that one... 

And after this incident I went to sew back the buttons of my TTR Poppy Notes HWS more securely. Oh yesh, 2 buttons of the black piece dropped out already!


13/4: HVV Textured Chiffon Blouse in White, F21  Basic Denim Shorts (not this piece, the is TTR's shorts )

This is the TTR Summer Love HWS in Black, been trying to sell for a long time and no one wants to buy :( It's loose on me! And how funny I read people on Joyce's FS to bring it back or something but no one wants to buy. I'm selling at the original price (or lower?)... Anyway yeah, there are loads of people asking BS owners to bring back some items but actually I also see a lot of people selling them?


15/4: F21 Batwing Knit Top in Heathered Grey, Joyce Pumpkin Shorts in Navy

I have been bad and splurging on nail polishes recently too! I'm really going mad and out of control!


Omg really quite crazy :x

And yes I am having issues with my HVV exchange. I didn't want to kick up a fuss about it, it's only $1.50 = $0.80 worth of postage issues BUT they refuse to admit the item is defected?!

PS I like this pair of denim floral shorts but it's kind of short. Is it nice? Very nice?
Worth it for around $35?


Ask me anything here: http://formspring.me/greenteaflakes

TTR Loots :D


TTR Basic Scoop Back Top in White (S)
Good thick material! Tried with a black bra and it wasn't really visible. It's an ultra good basic, and doesn't emphasize the shoulders (for me)! But I would say I prefer XS cos it's a bit loose for me and when I tuck it in it isn't very nice.


TTR Basic Scoop Back Top in Forest (S)
Similar to the above, but yeah, and the loose side. Maybe I'll wait for LB's forest taffie top and buy that in XS instead.

I'm selling the forest one, not sure if I'm selling the white yet.
But yes, do email me at windy156@gmail.com if you would like to purchase the forest piece! $22 mailed :)


TTR Sail Away on My Boat Dress in White with Navy Boats
It's a nice casual dress, made of cotton and lined with satin material! I love the nautical feel to it :) I can't seem to tie the rope properly though haha, probably have to use my own belt instead. Cutting is generous enough to cater to a large range of sizes and yet armholes aren't big on me.

FYI: uk4
