18 Dec 2011

Was in quite a shopping mood and got myself a few items this week!

SWIVELLE Dazzle Glamour Frock in White

I really love this pretty dress! When I saw the 4 colours available, I was kinda in a dilemma but when I saw one of the SWV owners in the white piece, I was sold. White just looks so classy, elegant and somewhat ethereal, especially with the asymmetrical hem. I love that even with all the dazzle from the embellishments, the dress still doesn't look too shiny or glaring with the bling (that's also why I chose white so the embellishments would blend in better). And I'm quite impressed that the embellishments are sewn on rather securely. The dress just has a very festive feel, perfect for this season! I'm loving it! :)

OHVOLA Scallop Hem Work Dress in Taupe

I actually first spotted this dress when I came across the BO page, but the BO was closed by then. When I saw their restock special and found this dress, I was delighted! Haha. I always thought the chiffon pleated top + scallop hem bottom was a really unique combination, and great not just for work but for play as well! I just love the whole look. It's a really nice change from normal work dresses. Think this dress would fit up to UK8 though, as the skirt portion fits me just nicely, so those with bigger hips might find it tight.

OHVOLA Ruche Sleeve Jacket in Apricot

I've been looking for a nude/beige coloured cardigan for awhile, so when I saw this jacket with its unique cascading front (in the restock special), I thought I should give it a try! I was initially afraid that without the detachable sash the jacket would look a little messy, but thankfully, it looks fine too without the sash. Love the whole look of the jacket; very stylish! Oh and I must say that this jacket is actually quite warm; it's definitely not made of thin, filmsy material. So overall, I'm really pleased with my Ohvola buys, especially since it's the first time I purchased from them! :D

CATWALKCLOSE Jacey Skirt in Eggplant M

All this time I've been purchasing from CWC, I never had any defective pieces. Unfortunately, my CWC Jacey skirt in Eggplant M has a defect. The back of the skirt is clearly longer than the front, so it looks really weird when I wear the skirt. Looks like I have a tail down the middle of the back of my skirt. Even my Mum said it was a defect when she saw it! When I lay the skirt flat, you can see that the back of the skirt is clearly longer. So I've emailed CWC about it already. Hope they'll get back to me soon!

Any other girls experienced this?

In case anyone is interested in the sizing, think the M would fit a 26" waist best. The pleats actually fall quite nicely. However, the belt loop is quite small, so may not be able to fit a lot of belts.

11 Dec 2011

SWIVELLE Enchanted Bandeau in Berry Ash

When I saw this design, I instantly fell in love with the dress! It would be great for dinners and parties, especially with Christmas coming up! Though I was super afraid I wouldn't be able to fit the PTP (as SWV cutting is generally smaller), after much contemplation, I realized I was still willing to take the risk, and bought the dress anyway. Haha!

Well, the colour is a really nice purple and I love the way the drapes fall. The dress fits me well - not too tight on the PTP! I only wish that the dress was a little bit longer, so am still in 2 minds if I should keep this dress.

LEFLIRTINI Oopsy Daisy in Navy M

Firstly, the material of this dress is really impressive! Really smooth, luxe, good quality material that is non-sheer. Comes with a sash in the same material too. Took Size M, which fits me just nicely (dress is not stretchable). Love the navy/sand combi of polka dots, the paperbag details as well as the pretty back details (sorry couldn't capture nice pics of the details). There are slight pleats on the skirt, which gives it a nice flare too.

Overall, I think this is a really nice and classic dress that can be dressed up or down. The only con for me is that the straps are slightly long for me, so I'd probably have to get it altered. But as usual, I'm really lazy to bring it to the tailor, so I might just let it go instead haha ...

29 Oct 2011

CATWALKCLOSE Bianca Pocket Top in Lemon

Received my CWC top but my first thought was that the yellow colour of the top differed from what was shown on screen! The top is really more lemony, and less of the pastel, sweet yellow pictured online.

The second thing that struck me was that the postage for this top only cost 3 "1st local" stamps (which probably amounts to about 60 - 90c at most) while we are supposed to pay $1.50 postage. Sigh.

The top is slightly sheer, so nude undergarments are advised. This is one of the few tops from CWC that has quite a fair bit of allowance on me, especially on the sides. Think it can probably fit up to UK10. Oh and this top definitely needs ironing if you want the lapels to fall properly.

Overall, I like the chic, utilitarian style of this blouse, which is good for both work and play, so it's still a keeper for me!

I've matched the top with my ALLTHINGSLOVELY Paperbag Waist Skirt in Cream.
It's been quite a few months but I haven't really seen reviews on this skirt, though I've seen it sprouting all over on various blogshops e.g. Pearlavish, Leflirtini etc.

Well I must caution that this skirt is not suitable for tall girls! I'm only 1.6m but the skirt is damn short for me, particularly the back of the skirt. And also do note that the thin camel belt provided with the skirt (also pictured in my photo) is made of very very cui material. After using it a few times, I feel like it's gonna fall apart any moment. But I like the colour of the belt though.

Overall, the skirt is really great for matching tops. Think it would fit up to UK10 best as the waist is stretchable.

THEBLUSHINC Cannes Split Front Frock in Wine, S

Love the pretty shade of this dress though it's not very true to TBI's pics. Surprisingly, the dress when worn with a belt, instead of the short black sash provided, does not have the "pong" effect pictured. Haha. It's really strange and I can't figure it out!

One downside about this dress is that it doesn't have any side zip! And since I took S, it's really quite fitting for me at the bust. Nevertheless I'm lovin' the split front of the dress :)

MOMOTEAPOTS Knottinghill Dress in Forest Green

I'm always on the lookout for simple dresses that are timeless in design and also easy to throw on. So when I saw this on MMTP and that it was still available, I decided to get it! Hah. This was also my first purchase from them.

The dress has an interesting twisted/knot design at the waist. The shade of forest green is also very lovely (true to MMTP's pic below). Fits me just fine, but for skinnier girls, the knotted waist part might be a bit loose on you.

DRESSABELLE The Wedgewood Dress
Oh I pondered so long before finally deciding to join the BO for this. Ha. Well, I like the asymmetrical hem, which just adds to the whole flowy, chiffony feel. Can't remember if the dress comes with any sash, but I matched it with my own black satin sash for added definition at the waist, if not the dress would look like a pretty maternity dress (haha). Think it's suitable for wearing to dinners to! :)

9 Oct 2011

THEVELVETDOLLS Versatile Flap Blouse in Rose
THEDESIGNCLOSETS Pleated High Waist Skirt in Black

This is an insanely late review of this TVD top (I received it months ago from the BO). Hahaha! When I first received the top, I was a bit confused as to how to wear it. Well, now that I've figured it out, I quite like the style of this top, plus the rose colour is really pretty, but my Mum says the shirt looks abit messy on me. So I'm still in 2 minds if I should keep the top. Sizing wise, I think it would definitely be able to fit up to UK10-12!

As for the TDC skirt, I really love it! The waistband seems to give a slimming effect and the pleats of the skirt fall really nicely. The skirt is also made of a nice chiffon material, non-sheer and quite a decent length for work too.

I was originally torn between the wine and the black, but I decided that black would be a good replacement for my CWC High Waisted Chiffon Skirt (the chiffon at the waistband seems to be loosening and doesn't fall neatly now) and honestly, black is way easier to match than wine. And the skirt is only $24 - quite reasonable! I would really love it if TDC could manufacture this skirt in grey or navy blue. That would be 2 colours I would definitely buy! Haha.

This skirt comes with a side zip, but I wish they had sewn on those type of hooks at the top of the zip, so we can secure the top of the skirt, before zipping. It would be easier to zip up the skirt that way. There's slight elastic at the back, so I think this skirt can probably fit up to small UK10. But best fit I would say is UK6 -8.

THEVELVETDOLLS Moschino Military Shirt in Forest Green
Received the TVD shirt from the BO quite some time ago but only took it out recently to try! Well, I'm lovin' the green and the top fits me quite nicely but the little flap on the shoulders is a little strange. I thought it would be sewn down onto the shirt. Not sure if I want to keep this top, coz if I keep it, I might remove the flaps on the shoulder. But the material isn't bad, non-sheer. I'm just wondering if the top will shrink after washing, anybody know?

Anyway, pardon me for wearing it with the TDC skirt. Couldn't be bothered to wear it with another skirt. Think it would look better with a more structured and rugged-looking bottom. This pleated skirt is way too feminine for this top. Haha!

SASHPETALS Chance Pinafore Dress in Slate Blue
I was actually deciding between the burnt orange and blue for this dress, but since I'm not very fair-skinned and was really afraid I might look even more tanned in orange, I decided to go for the slate blue instead.

Well, the material of the dress is surprisingly quite good, thick and non-sheer. It comes with a thin sash of the same colour, but I felt that the dress looks better with a thicker belt that would bring more detail and colour to the dress. Sizing wise, it's a little big for me at the PTP, so I would say that it can fit up to UK10 or small UK12. Oh ya, I do wish the dress was shorter though (it's 35")! But overall, it's a pretty simple and classic dress that's quite easy to throw on for work, and easy to accessorize too, so it's still a keeper for me.

INTOXIQUETTE My Fair Lady Dress in Vanilla Cream
I got this dress from a trade recently. Well, firstly, the dress is slightly sheer, so nude undergarments are a definite must. Also the colour vanilla cream is kinda weird as it's more like white which has turned a little yellow, so I can imagine many girls would not really like the colour as it's neither pure white or cream. But I really like the design of the dress, and that it's great for both work and play (would even look nice as a bridesmaid dress), so I'm still gonna keep it! I think it would fit up to big UK8 best.

14 Aug 2011

AMBERAVENUE Chiffon Pussybow Blouse in Light Peach, M

Received my blouse from AmberAvenue this week, so decided to do a review, for those who might wanna join the BO!

Firstly, I think I might have bought the wrong size... again. Hah. Size S was stated as 16.5" while M was 17.5". One of my chiffon blouses from CWC was about 16.5" and it was so snug on my bust, so I decided to go with M (17.5") for this top from AA. Well, there's really a lot of allowance still, especially on the sides of the blouse. Perhaps it's coz the blouse is somewhat of a straight cut. The allowance is obvious coz of the side zip, which would tend to "pop" out if the blouse is too loose on a person. But if I leave my arms down (like in the pics), the side popping out isn't too obvious. Thus, I think S would have been a better fit for me. I would recommend M for bigger UK8 - 10.

Secondly, I think the length of the ribbon is way too long. It's slightly strange. If I tie a bigger ribbon, it would look weird if the ribbon flops down too much.

As for the quality of the blouse, it's not too bad. The blouse isn't sheer (as far as I can remember). Only the sleeves are sheer, while the main portion of the blouse is lined. There's also a sleeve button closure, and the circumference of the sleeve opening fits me quite comfortably with allowance still, so I think most girls shouldn't have a problem with the sleeve opening (unlike CWC sleeve openings).

PEARLAVISH Compliment Heart Swing Work Dress in Teal
P.S. Dress does not come with black sash

M versus S size

A good shopping experience to share...

In June, I ordered the M size from Pearlavish. I loved the cut, design and colour but it was a little too big for me. As most blogshops don't allow exchanges for size, I didn't even think of emailing Pearlavish to check. But after some suggestions from girls online, I decided to try my luck and email Pearlavish.

Thankfully I did, because Pearlyn (the owner I think) agreed to provide me with an exchange! At first she mentioned that there were no more stocks for teal S, so I decided to go with cream S. And then when she went to check her stocks again, she found a teal S and asked if I would like that instead! Omgosh I was so happy la, as teal is a more unique colour than cream, and part of the reason why I bought the dress in the first place was coz it was in teal. Heh.

So I tried it and S fits me perfectly at the shoulders, bust and waist. S is also slightly shorter than M, which is great coz I'm not so tall. Haha. So I'm really quite happy with the dress! I would recommend M for bigger UK8 - 10. If you look carefully, even the sleeves for M are bigger!

Overall, I was really impressed with Pearlyn's service. Other blogshops would probably not have done an exchange for me, or even bothered to check back with me if wanted teal or cream. Though I had to pay an extra $3 for postage (to and fro), it was definitely worth it, not just to be able to get a dress in a colour, cut and design that I love, but also to be pleasantly surprised by Pearlavish's good customer service and the fact that there are still really nice and understanding blogshop owners out there who care about their customers! :)

ALLTHINGSLOVELY Pristine Blouson in White S

Though this top cost $27 (excluding postage!!!), since ATL described this as "Non-sheer (for white as well), high quality material", I decided to give it a try, since the design is really great for matching my work skirts and I need white blouses.

However, when I received the top, I was sorely disappointed. Firstly, it is slightly sheer. Secondly, the material is just normal chiffon, nothing really fantastic or "high quality" about it.

Definitely not worth $28.50. I'd say it's not worth anything more than $25.

I'm only keeping this coz I like the design and fit of the blouse. In addition, one of its saving grace is that in between the 3rd and 4th button, there's a press stud already sewn on to keep the blouse from gaping.

SMOOCH Madison Dress in Olive M

Wow, is this the same dress? Did SMOOCH send me the wrong colour?

Those were my first thoughts when I ripped the package open. The real colour of the dress is so not OLIVE. This is more like light green/ jade. Really quite shocking. The pics are so different. I almost wanted to email SMOOCH about it but I decided I don't really mind the light green/jade colour.

Anyway I only decided to join the BO for this dress after seeing the rave reviews on forums. However, I have to admit that I am slightly disappointed. The chiffon material is quite thin and isn't very fantastic. Also, the belt is pretty filmsy and the buckle is always slanted. Definitely can't get the belt to look like what the model's wearing in the pics.

I took M for this dress, but it's kinda poufy at the bust area, and there's quite a bit of allowance at the PTP. I'm starting to wonder if I could fit into S instead. I was actually advised by the SMOOCH girls to take M. Oh well. Putting aside the colour discrepancy and quality of the dress and belt, the design wins me over and thus I'll still keep it. Hah.

SMOOCH Grazia Wrap Dress in Plum M

A really pretty and unique design from SMOOCH. Quality of the dress is pretty good and I think this dress is good for both work and dinner functions! The only gripe I have is that I wish the waist could be tighter for the M size. Otherwise it's still a keeper for me!

CATWALKCLOSE Ruffled Peplum Top (White)
CATWALKCLOSE Gathered Bow Skirt (Peach)

Firstly, I really LOVE the design of the ruffled peplum top! The ruffles are of the right size and fall in the right way (in contrast, I felt that the way the ruffles of the CWC chiffon cascading ruffled tops fell didn't look nice on my frame). It's such a lovely top to match with high waisted stuff! I tried something like that at F21 a few months back, but there wasn't my size, so I was actually really excited about receiving this piece from the BO.

However, sad to say, this top is slightly small for me. So I probably have to let go of this top, albeit extremely reluctantly. I think this top is best for skinny UK8 girls. I really hope that CWC/other blogshops will come up with a design like that, but in sizes!

As for the skirt, when I first opened the parcel and saw the colour of the skirt, I was thinking that the colour would be too close to my skin tone. However I was surprised that it actually looked fine against my skin tone. But this skirt is kind of sheer and I'm slightly surprised there isn't lining. As for the ribbon tie, it has to be looped twice if not the ribbon will be rather long. But it's still a pretty nice skirt that I'll keep. The length is good for office too. Btw, I actually think the eggplant colour is the nicest colour, but I didn't get that as it probably can't match a lot of tops.

SMOOCH Waisted Flare Skirt in Cream S
SMOOCH Waisted Flare Skirt in Bronze M

Cream S vs Bronze M

I am guilty of buying 2 skirts of the same design in different color and size! Haha. The skirt in cream was my first purchase from Smooch, after seeing the awesome reviews on the skirt. I was really not let down at all. The material is really fab and thick, doesn't require lining, and also has a nice matt sheen to it. And I just like everything about the skirt la - how it's so easy to match; its simplicity and elegance.

Now for the sizing.

Size S (cream) sits just nicely on my waist, but the skirt is rather short on me, so it would not be so suitable for work. Hence I hunted down Bronze M in hope that it would be a better fit.

Size M (bronze) hangs much lower on my waist, but the length is just right. It would be better if the M was slightly tighter (even 0.5" would be good) then it would be perfect!

Overall, I think this is a really great basic skirt that's not expensive (compared to the similar ones in Zara and Bysi), of really great material and cut, easy to match and timeless!

19 June 2011

CATWALKCLOSE Frilled Puff Sleeved Top (Forest Green)

I really love this top, the style and the colour! I think this style is quite flattering for girls with bigger busts as the V neck and the downward cascading ruffle draws attention away from the bust. However, the PTP is kind of tight for me (I need to wriggle out of the top), but I love it so much I will put up with the slight tightness. Haha. I think if the top was just 0.5 - 1" bigger, it would have been better. But at least it's not a button down top, so even if the PTP is a little small, it's still alright. Material wise, it's smooth and non-sheer. A pretty good buy to add to your working wardrobe!

DRESSABELLE Lula Tiered Work Dress
ASCENTEE Linen Dress in Khaki
MEGAGAMIE Double Collar Pleated Chiffon Blouse in Folkstone Grey

Left: DRESSABELLE Lula Tiered Work Dress
The white portion of the skirt is extremely sheer! Even though there's a very thin white lining for the skirt, the white portion is still sheer, and it would be necessary to wear a petticoat inside or something. All in all, it's still a pretty refreshing piece for work!

Right: ASCENTEE Linen Dress in Khaki
Haha I just bought this coz it was on sale; $18.90 I think. Surprisingly it came with a price tag that said $36.90 or something like that. The material is pretty good and thick; even the lining inside is smooth and thick. Although the colour of the dress looks a little dull on my skin, I'll still keep it coz it's easy to throw on and has a good length for work!

MEGAGAMIE Double Collar Pleated Chiffon Blouse in Folkstone Grey

Received this ages ago but forgot all about it. Haha. Hmm. I dunno why the cuff part of the sleeves is so damn small! The cuffs are quite tight on me I feel like my movement is restricted! The blouse is also gaping for me, so definitely won't be able to fit UK10 and above I think. Oh and I was surprised that "folkstone grey" turned out more like a dull blue! If I knew it was this blue, I would have gotten the white instead. But after so many complaints, I think I'm still gonna keep just coz the design is pretty hahaha.

29 May 2011

Pic 1) MEGAGAMIE Taylor Swift Inspired Chiffon Dress in Rose M - *FOR SALE*
The material is pretty good and I love the style of the dress, especially the pretty drape at the side! However, the rose red is a bit too loud for me. I thought the colour in real life would be darker and more of a muted red. Wish I got this dress in a more pastel colour instead. I took M coz I was afraid S would be tight for my bust, but now that the PTP fits, the waist/underbust part is a bit loose for me. Hence, I think M would suit big UK8 or UK10 better.

Pic 2) SWIVELLE Inspiring Notes Dress in Pink
A really simple and sweet dress! However, the underbust is a bit tight for me (but still acceptable) and somehow the top part seems to have this bust enhancing effect. I just handwashed the dress and I think it may have shrank. Nevertheless, I'm still gonna keep it coz it's just so easy to throw on and perfect for casual days!

Pic 3 & 4) CATWALKCLOSE Summer Dance Chiffon Frock (Lilac)
Managed to get my hands on this pretty piece coz there was a deadbuyer! Heh. Really love the floral prints. CWC always has these pretty and feminine prints which I love!

Pic 5) [2nd row] AMBERAVENUE Belle Draped Dress in Creme - *FOR SALE*
This dress doesn't come with an inner piece, and must be worn with a belt to look nice. At first I wasn't too sure how it'd look on me, as I was afraid all the drapes and "excess" cloth might make me look a bit "bulky", but I'm really liking the drapes effect! Think it's most suitable for UK8 and above. Smaller UK8 might look a little "drowned" in the dress.

Pic 6) LOVEANDBRAVERY Heidi Lace Bib Dress
When I first took the dress out of the package, I thought it looked a bit like a nightgown! Haha! But okay la, looks much better with the sash tied. I think it best fits UK8-10.

Pic 7) LOVEANDBRAVERY Enchanted Forest Twilight Blue
A simple chiffon dress manufactured by LAB. PTP is just nice for me though, so I wouldn't recommend this dress for UK10 and above.

Pic 8 ) LOVEANDBRAVERY Vella Embroidery Dress Jade, M
Hmm, I don't know why this dress is not a sellout. It's so pretty with all the embroidery! Looks fine without a belt as well. I like the shade of green; very refreshing. There's inner lining too and the material of the dress is quite soft and smooth. Definitely a keeper for me!

31 Jan 2011

DRESSABELLE Florian Printed Dress (Mint) - *FOR SALE*

Well, this dress could not be truer to the pics provided online! Haha, it looks EXACTLY like the pics online, colour and all. I like the unique colour and florals of the dress; quite a refreshing change from the usual florals on cream base.

Haha, but I think the dress - or all minty colours in general - would look nicer on fairer skin.

Nevertheless, the cut of the dress fits me well. But I do not think that it can fit up to UK10 (as stated on the website). It fits me just nice at the bust; if the dress shrinks after I wash it, I may not be able to squeeze into it anymore (though there's a zip).

Apparently the dress is a Dressabelle-manufactured item but there's no label/tag. I've never bought any other Dressable-manufactured item before so I don't know if they usually have any label/tags. It doesn't really bother me though as I think it's quite a unique and classic piece!

Anyway, I think the dress looks better with a belt! And I think it can pass for Casual Fridays at work too haha.

28 Jan 2011

MYGLAMOURPLACE Oasis Dress in Maroon

I must say that this dress exceeded my expectations!

First of all, LOVELY colour! Exactly the same shade as one of the flowers I'm holding! Haha. But I wouldn't really say it's maroon. It has a more pinkish/purplish tone to it. But I still love that colour!

The ruffles cascading downwards are a very nice touch to an otherwise simple dress. I love that this is one of those dresses you can just throw on and you're ready to go! Good for Dress Down Fridays at the office too!

Fit wise, there's a little allowance for me at the PTP (UK8 here), so for UK6 I think it might be a bit big for you. The waist is elastic, but I wore it with a belt.

All in all, I really love the dress and colour and I think it's priced so reasonably :-)

CATWALKCLOSE Tailored Chic Blazer in Asphalt

I like the style of the blazer, but it doesn't really fit me well at the shoulder when I button it. Hence I think the blazer is actually meant to be worn unbuttoned, and it also looks better that way. If I don't roll up the sleeves, there's a lot of excess cloth along the arms of the blazer. But when I push up the sleeves, which looks better that way, that's also the max I can push it up to haha.

Like some of the girls have reviewed, the blazer is slightly scratchy. But that's not too big of a problem. Since the blazer is so versatile, good for both work and play, I'll still be keeping it!

22 Jan 2011

AMBERAVENUE Knot Front Dress in Light Pink

Pretty old design, but it was still available on AmberAvenue hence I decided to get it in light pink! Love the shade of pink that complements my skin tone. My mum commented that it's quite suitable for CNY haha.

Love the design, especially since the knot front is a really classic design which won't go out of fashion. I think it's quite figure flattering. Emphasizes the right things haha.

However, I would say that this dress will fit UK8 and above better as there's a lot of cloth at the bust area to create the ruching effect. I think it might look kind of "empty" on UK6 or smaller girls.

Definitely a keeper as it's good for both work and play! Only downside perhaps is that at 32.5", the back of the dress might be a little short (coz when you tie the ribbon behind, it will hitch the dress up a little).

CHALLURES Candilious Embroidery Top in Yolk Yellow - *FOR SALE*

I love this shade of yellow and the scallop edges! Workmanship is quite good and material is quite smooth. May be a little sheer so nude undergarments advised (I was wearing black, oops!). However, I think that this top will look better on girls with smaller bust, hence will be letting this go.

LoveandBravery Social Class Dress - *My friend's piece is FOR SALE*

Catwalkclose Floral Sweetheart Laced Back Top
Catwalkclose Chiffon Highwaisted Skirt, Black M

Megagamie River Island Inspired Eyelet Dress, Cream M

Various dresses, tops, skirts...

1) Lollyrouge Archangel Divine Dress/ TheStyleDiary Elegant Work Dress with matching sash
A really good buy, IMO! Material is quite good, thick and non-sheer. I saw the exact same piece selling at Far East for $69.90, tried it on to realize it fit well, and hence I grabbed this piece when I saw it online! =)

2) Swivelle Flutter-Sleeved Cami in Navy&Fushia
Caved into temptation and bought this sweet number after seeing all the lovely reviews here. The navy and fuschia combi is really refreshing. Love this top. Perfect for casual weekends or hanging out at a friend's place. Only thing is that it's a tad low la. But I still love it!

Twas my first time buying from Swivelle, and the ladies really impressed me with their customer service. I received the package the next day, there was a handwritten note attached, and they also followed up with an email to say they had posted out my item and attached a photo of my parcel. Thumbs up!

3) TSD Zara Inspired Pleated Corporate Blouson in Peach - *FOR SALE*
The blouse is quite sheer on its own. It's actually a little big for me... but I can live with it since I don't have many long sleeved work tops. Am wearing it with the CWC high waist skirt + suspender straps.

4 - 6)
BC Tiered Chiffon Blouse in Pop Pink - *FOR SALE*
Pretty piece but the shade of pink is not so suitable for my skin tone, hence letting go.

Catwalkclose Olivia Highwaisted Pencil Skirt (Navy), Size S
Cutting is quite small for this skirt, I must say. Since it's quite high-waist, the suspender straps are too long for me, but that can be easily fixed with some re-sewing. Skirt is quite stretchy though, and I think it's pretty rare to find navy blue high waist skirts! I like that it's good for both casual and work wear!

Various dresses...

1) Lolliepopbestie Lipsy Chiffon Frill Bandeau Dress (Mint)
I was deciding between the Mint and the Pink, but decided to pick the Mint as I don't have anything in my wardrobe of that colour! I still think Mint looks a little strange on my dark skin tone, but I kinda like the design of the dress. The skirt is made of really thick and good quality satin while the top is made of pretty smooth chiffon. Oh, and I also like the fact that the dress has a ribbon tie at the back.

2) Foggiare Pleat Me Up Ruffles in Blush Black
Bought this many months ago. Back then, I saw quite a few shops such as Lollyrouge selling this design (with skirt base in navy blue). Though the top part is very sheer (I was wearing a tube underneath) and the pleats on top are a headache to iron, I really like the design of the dress! It's a really nice, feminine and classy work dress. Something different from your everyday structured work dresses! Oh, but the waistband will be tight for waists bigger than 25.5" I think. But the back of the waist band is smocked, so over time, I think it can be stretched to accommodate bigger waists.

3) Pearlavish Zara Inspired Puff Sleeve Shift Dress (Black)
I think this dress is really slimming! The pleats at the side are great for camouflaging the tummy and also gives more allowance for wider hips. Material is REALLY thick and good. However, for girls with bigger busts , I think the neckline is a little low for work, so it looks more decent with a tube haha.

4) Bonitochico Structured Tweed Dress, M
Got this from a seller a few months ago. I took M as I need to cater to my bust size (M fits just nicely!), so the skirt portion has quite a bit of allowance. Though I think the cut of the dress doesn't really flatter my figure, I'm just keeping it coz it's a useful and simple work dress to have. It can be matched with many different belts too. This dress originally comes with a skinny black belt but I think a thicker one looks better.

CATWALKCLOSE Printed Summer Ruffled Top (Purple)

The colour of the top is true to CWC's pics, and the top is lightweight and not sheer. The prints are really pretty too.

However, I find the bottom too flare such that the top only looks nice tucked in high waist. But even if you tuck in the top, there's quite a bit of allowance and excess cloth around the waist. So for UK8 and smaller girls, you're probably limited to wearing the top tucked in with high waist shorts/skirt. I tried it with a lower waist flared skirt, but it looked a little strange.

In addition, I find that the purple does not really flatter my skin tone; will suit fairer girls better.

Loves shopping but has too many impulse buys, and too many things which look similar.

I can be contacted at mumblingmushroom@gmail.com. I welcome all enquiries.

In the case that I do not reply to enquiries/emails that quickly, it may be due to my being caught up with work. Thank you for your kind understanding!

HOW TO SHOP

2008-12-20T00:01:00.010+08:00

HOW TO SHOP

Please direct any orders or enquiries to my email mumblingmushroom@gmail.com and i will get back to you shortly.

Additional Information

All items are priced in Singapore dollars.

Payment mode is limited to POSB/DBS bank transfers only, to my POSB SAVINGS 024-31499-5.

*NEW* For overseas buyers, payment can now be made via Paypal. A surcharge will be imposed on top of the prices listed in SGD.

Postage is not included in the item's price, and will have to be borne by the buyer.

For a gauge of postage prices to overseas destinations, please use Singpost's Postage Calculator. Remember to add an additional SGD$2.20 on top of the postage price for registering your parcel (so you can track the progress of delivery).

Quality of items assured. Items are mostly brand new and unworn. I will definitely indicate things like Brand New, brand new with tag, or its condition if worn. Earrings are 100% brand new.
Swaps welcome if I'm interested in your item(s).

Swapping Price may apply for customers who initiate the swap.

Read more about Swaps and my rationale for the Swapping Price.

Availability of postage depends. Normal postage will range from $1- $2, depending on the weight of the item. For bulky items, meetups are encouraged.

Meetups only available at Toa Payoh MRT (weekdays after 6pm) or Sengkang MRT. More about meetups here.

In case that I may not be able to check my email or blog as often, or reply to your queries as quickly due to work commitments, please be patient with me! All enquiries and emails WILL be attended to. Thank you for your kind understanding.

Before posting, I double-check addresses and pack all items securely. I have a habit of keeping photographic evidence of my parcel(s) until my buyer receives her item, so you can request for the pic too, so you know what envelope to look out for (see pic below). Once item(s) are sent out through normal postage, I relinquish responsibility if any loss occurs.

No dead buyers, refunds or exchanges please. Please be responsible, even if you wish to backout, do inform me! It is only fair to inform the seller instead of going missing. Don't deprive sellers of selling opportunities or give them heartache chasing you. Please be RESPONSIBLE. Thank you :)

ABOUT SWAPS

2008-12-18T03:21:00.001+08:00

About Swaps

Swaps welcome if I'm interested in your item(s).

Swaps will only be conducted through meetups, as we save money on postage (factoring out transport cost) and the risk of lost mail.

Swaps may be subject to an increased price, usually $2.

My rationale for this:

It's about the opportunity cost.

When I swap my things for yours at your request, I put myself in various risks:

1) I might just be forcing myself to pick an item, when I do not actually need it, and could actually put the money I could otherwise have gotten to better use

2) The item I choose might not fit/ suit me and I'd have something unwanted at my hands again

3) I could have sold the item for cold, hard cash (liquidity is always good) instead of having an extra piece of clothing

Thus please understand my decision to have a Swap Price for every item.

Please note however, that I do not do Swaps with shops that charge me at your Swapping Price despite you having initiated the swap. By agreeing to pick some items out from your shop so you can get your desired item from my shop, it is already a favour to you, thus it does not make any sense for me to be getting that item at the increased swapping price.

That's all about Swaps now.

Happy shopping!
:)

THE BLACKLIST

2008-12-17T19:52:00.015+08:00

I have put off creating this blacklist, as I feel that shopping should be a pleasant experience. However, the amount of deadbuyers is increasing and that is extremely frustrating for a blogshop owner who needs to know whether she can release the item to the next person. Also, facing irresponsible sellers/buyers/traders is also extremely frustrating, especially since online selling is all about trust and ethics.

Therefore, here is my blacklist of Very Rotten Mushrooms; of scammers (death to them!), irresponsible people and those who confirmed but backed out or just went missing!

I don't understand why it is so difficult to inform, even if you decide to backout. Such annoying and irresponsible behaviour will not be tolerated.

Other blogshop owners, please be wary of these people!

SUPER IRRESPONSIBLE TRADER ALERT!

Ada One

Blog Address: http://jk-ilubshopping.livejournal.com/
Address: Blk 540 Hougang Ave 8 (Unit number censored)

June 2010: I swapped my brand new Bonitochico Nude Eyelet frock with her for her Dadigirl Paris Hilton-inspired Wrap Dress. She took pretty long to reply through email, but that was alright with me, as we hadn't confirmed anything yet. Mailing was done pretty efficiently and I received the item soon.

However, when I received the item, I noticed that the item was VERY DIRTY. Please see collage below for the stains. Click to enlarge.

Please refer to Pics 1 to 5, as Pic 6 is a repeat of Pic 1 (Picasa automatically reuses the first pic if the number of pics I use for the collage is odd numbered).

I had no idea what those stains were. Pretty dodgy I must say. They were all over the front and back part of the skirt. I didn't dare to wash them either, in case it was ink stain and it smudged.

Thus I first emailed her to check if she had received my item, as I knew that if I immediately told her about the stains, she could always deny that she had received my package (like the case of Celestia - see post below). She said she did, so I told her about the stains, and attached the pics.

My email here on June 29, 2010:

okie that's good that you received it safely.

btw babe, i wanted to tell you, the dress you sent me is stained leh. it has a lot of marks - my mum says it looks like oil marks??? i'm not sure what it is. i took it out of the plastic and it's already like that. both the front and back have the stains. it's super a lot man!

and i can confirm that when i opened the package my hands were clean and anyway, judging by the amount of stains, it's not possible that the dress was stained by me.

i attached a collage of the photos of the stained dress. btw, the 1st and 6th pic are the same. lol. coz picasa automatically reuses the 1st pic if i only have 5 pics in a collage.

did you know about the stains? i really can't accept the dress with so many stains! i was thinking if it's 1 or 2 spots maybe still okay, coz i do like the dress, but it's all over the front n back of the dress, and i dont even know what those stains are :(

one way to deal with this is i can send the dress back to you, and you can return my nude eyelet dress...
if not i send back your dress, and you can pay me for the nude eyelet dress instead..

sigh. damn sad la.

lmk okay...

I had to send her 3 emails before she finally replied.

This is her email on 3 July 2010:

hi babe,

i am here.. saw your several emails. No, am not avoiding you . I just havent got time to check my mails at all this week.

Its strange to find the spots or stain coz its brand new in bag. I havent even try it before coz i didnt like the colour when i rec it.
If this is the case , how much do u want to charge me for the nude dress? Coz its already in my laundry bag.

Did you try to see if the stains is removable by water? Since i dont like it at all, do you think u can accept it at cheaper price and get it washed?
Coz its useless for me if you mail it bag and waste the postage cost. Since you do like the dress..
Or can u try to get it washed, if the stain is removable, u can have it at a good price. If it doesnt go away, u give me the nude dress at good price?
How does that sound? LMK"

Sounds totally reasonable right? I was so relieved that she finally replied me, as I was so afraid I had met another scammer. I didn't dare to throw the dress into the washing machine, for fear that the dodgy stains might spread onto my other clothes. So that meant I had to hand wash. But I was so busy I didn't have time. So I just tried to wash a small spot with water, but there was a watermark. My mum told me I'd have to wash the whole dress, but I hadn't had time (and my mum is too busy to help me hand wash my clothes, meaning I actually had to FIND TIME to hand wash that item). So I just emailed this girl to ask her what's the "good price" she promised to offer me, as I didn't wanna drag the matter anymore, and most likely I would be able to get the stains removed.

Now, I did contemplate emailing her to tell her to forget about the "good price" she had promised to give me. But the more she didn't reply me, the more I felt like something fishy was up. I mean, when I enter into any transaction, I expect honesty from the other seller. If her item is dirty, she should STATE IT CLEARLY on her website, which she didn't. I even have a screenshot of her description. And her taking so long to reply mails seriously didn't help my impression of her. Honestly, I felt CHEATED. I mean, if I knew her item was dirty - whether the stains were washable or not - in the first place I would not have swapped my BRAND NEW Bonitochico Nude Eyelet Frock with her. I could have gotten cold hard cash for that instead.

So anyway, here's a screenshot of just how many emails I sent her, and my final email to her. Click to enlarge.

Copied my email sent to her on 25 July 2010, 1.21 am:

Hey Ada,

I think it's really irresponsible of you to go missing like that. It's not the few dollars that I'm bothered about, it's that I feel very cheated by your actions. In fact, I even wanted to email you and tell you to forget about the top-up, but you didn't even reply my latest emails. With online selling/trading, it's all about ETHICS. I'm really very disappointed by how things have turned out, especially since you seemed like a nice and responsible seller through emails.

To begin with, as a seller, you should check your item for any defects, and be honest about it and STATE IT on your website. Before sending, you should at least check your item before sending out. And if there's anything wrong, I think it's basic courtesy to refund or at least REPLY. I've been really patient, thinking maybe you didn't check your email. But even if you're busy, I think you can't have been THAT busy till you can ignore my email for 2 weeks. There's really no excuse for that.

I'm really very disappointed by your actions - you didn't even have the courtesy to send me a reply after I've sent you numerous emails, and all very politely too and not wanting to think the worst of you. But you leave me with absolutely no choice now. I will be warning other people about your irresponsible behaviour.

If you can live with your conscience doing business by cheating people/ going missing after sending out a dirty item, not replying mails etc, then good luck with that man. You can keep the few dollars for yourself if it makes you exponentially happier.

As you can see, she hasn't replied after 2 weeks and I doubt she is going to reply me ever again.

I am just very disappointed in her. She appeared nice and responsible, so I didn't even think that she sent out the item KNOWING there were stains. Naively, I thought that perhaps she didn't realize it. And her offer to give me a good price was a nice move on her part. I would have been okay had she just replied me and told me perhaps she felt it was pointless to send me a few bucks, but perhaps the next time I bought from her she'd give me discounts. Something like that, you know. That's service, and basic courtesy. But now that she has failed to reply my emails, it just makes me think that she had the intention to cheat; knowing there were stains, not mentioning them, and yet still sending out the item.

Whatever it is, I have already given up hope long ago, and so I just want to warn you all if you want to swap with this girl who goes under the alias of "Ada One". Be wary of her okay! I don't wish for anyone else to have such an unpleasant experience as I did.

SCAMMER ALERT!

[You can change your blog and email addresses, even change your handphone number, but what's the probability of always shifting house? I've replaced her unit number with the asterisks, but babes, please be wary if a buyer/swapper requests you send an item to that address listed above. If you are unsure, you can email me to confirm the unit number. I don't wish for anyone else to get scammed!]

I swapped stuff with her in July 2009 (after her constant pleas), but she did not send out all the items. Even the items I received were pretty dodgy. The most expensive item worth $18 (Shills BB Cream), she said she “forgot to include it in”. She said she would send it out again (and even claimed to throw in a free gift) but I never received the package. I even called up the Return Letter Unit in case it was sent there, and they said there was no package there that I described. Worst of all, I sent out her items (Midnight Stardust dress and white bead necklace) and she claimed she never received it, which is utter rubbish as ALL my customers have received their items. She even claimed she emailed Singpost but they could not find the package I sent her - obviously, 'cause she has received it already!

I tried to think the best of her, as throughout my correspondence with her through email, she appeared very nice and easygoing, even offering to throw in free items. But after a few days, I had a feeling she was a scammer, because I have received requests from various emails/blog addresses regarding this one same item (Midnight Stardust dress) but after clicking on that link a few days later, the blog would be deleted. And it all seemed to point back to her using different emails/blog addresses.

Just google celestia90@hotmail.com to see other accounts of her scams.

My only regret is not double checking her background before agreeing to swap things with her. I'm not even hung up over the $18 worth of items that she cheated me of, but I feel very angered by the fact that scammers like her are going around deceiving honest people, and misusing blogshop owners' trust!

So girls, please be wary of her!

DEADBUYERS/ MIA PEOPLE

1) icy.hedgehog@yahoo.com
June 2009: Said she could not do ATM transfer and thus confirmed to meet up, but just went missing and never replied me even after I sent multiple emails.

2) [Name and email removed. Case closed as of 15 Sept 2010]
Oct 2008: Said she was highly interested in the items, confirmed to meet up but never replied me on a day/timing she wanted to meet. After I emailed her again, she said she was cash-strapped, so I left it as that, didn't wanna pursue her.

Feb 2009: She emailed and SMSed me about some items again. After confirming she wanted to meet up for the items, she said she'd SMS to let me know when she could meet up. Again, she went MIA. No news at all. A leopard never changes its spots.

3) [Name and email removed as she has apologized (7 April 2010)]
July 2008: Said she wanted the Rainbow Bead Necklace, but she could not do ATM transfer, only could meet up. Another buyer wanted my last instock for the necklace (that I reserved for this girl), so I double checked with her if she was confirmed about the item and she said, "Yup i wantttttt, i won't back out ! don't worry :DD".

When we finally confirmed on a day/timing to meet up, I actually walked to Bugis MRT in the pouring rain, and waited for her there. Bear in mind, I was working in Bugis, and that was during my break, and thus I had to forgo my dinner to meet her. However, when I reached, I called her and she said, "HUH?! I thought I SMSed to say I cannot meet you?" Utter nonsense. I checked my inbox and there was no such SMS. I was supremely pissed off as she had wasted my time and lied to me. I even had to walk back again to my workplace in the pouring rain. She then said she would transfer the money to me but as I expected, she never did.

*

Somehow it seems like those shoppers who cannot do ATM transfers/Ibanking cause the most problems. Therefore, I will give priority to customers who can make immediate payment through ATM transfer/ibank, rather than only through meet ups.

Fits: XS-M, UK6-8
Band: Approx 12.5 inch
Length: Approx 33 inch

Material: Chiffon
Comes with inner lining

Brand new from YannySideUp
It's already OOS there!

Brand new in packaging!

Wear it as a uniquely printed tube dress!

Or pull a white top over and make it into a cute skirt!

You can also wear it as a long boho skirt, a style which is all the rage these days!

Its versatility lies in it being able to be a tube dress, or a skirt! In addition, it does wonders for bust enhancement. Hahaha. As you see from the pic, it gives the illusion of a fuller bust when the dress is cinched with a thick waistbelt. The chiffon material and patchwork print also attributes to that illusion of a fuller bust.

I love the vibrant colours and patchwork print, but the style doesn't suit me leh. Sadly. Thus, I am letting it go.

#SK003 BROWN WRAPAROUND SKIRT

~~$30~~

Now only $14
Swaps $16

Worn once

Wear this as a high waist skirt or a hip hugger! It's up to you! This wraparound skirt's ability to be adjusted according to your waist/hip size makes it super versatile and easy to wear for different looks!

Best fit for UK8. But any sizes from UK6-10 (XS-L) can fit this skirt too as you can just remove and resew the buttons according to your waist size. Alternatively, just skip the buttons and fasten by tying the ribbon!

WEARING SUGGESTION IN F21 STYLE

Picture credits to Forever21.com

Just like these F21 models, this brown wraparound skirt looks exceptionally great when you tuck in your tank and show off the skirt's details (and your waist of coz)!

Note: I chose these pics coz the brown skirt tends to flare out like those in the pics!

Material: Cotton

If you find the neckline too low, layer with a tube/spagg/tee inside, which at the same time adds more colour to the whole outfit!

Wanna show off your waist? Then belt up with a waistbelt!
Alternatively, a skinny patent belt around the hips would look good too!

If not just wearing it as it is will also show off the pleats. Its roominess is comfortable and great for wearing to buffets too! Haha! Because it's a flare top, even pregnant ladies can wear this top!

It's a real decent top which u can easily spice up with accessories or a belt, and is great for campus wear!

Though the straps look skinny, they are able to hide bra straps too!

It's a real steal for an elegant, classic, timeless piece!

(Letting this go coz I just bought a top that is pretty similar to this... Haha. To top it off, it's black too!)

It's a really pretty top and really does wonders for your figure! Even flatter-chested girls would look bustier in this top! If you find the neckline too low, just layer with a spagg/tube.

SHOPLAH SPREE CANCELLED!

Hi girls, thanks to Yilin who tagged, warning me against shopping with Shoplah.com, I decided to check out the comments about them online and there is a whole barrage of complaints about their quality and credibility.

Thus, I have decided to cancel the SHOPLAH spree.

For those who have ordered and paid, I will be refunding you your $$, no worries! Check your email for more details.

I am really really thankful for the warning, Yilin! You have just saved us hundreds of dollars and heartache!

Especially since I ordered quite a few items for myself, my friends and family already.

Just to share my own experience,

more than a few months ago, i was interested in this lace blouse.

I emailed SHOPLAH.COM to enquire but i never ever received their reply.

A few months later, I decided to combine orders with my family and friends. The number of items came up to about 15. I emailed SHOPLAH with my orders, expecting to enjoy their free delivery as I had their link up on my website.

However, they informed me I would not be eligible for free delivery as my items amounted to more than 5kg, thus an extra cost of $9.15 would be incurred for the courier fee. I was already feeling a little displeased as I felt that the $9.15 cost for the courier was not worth it.

Thus I emailed and ask if I could self collect it at the listed Tampines address instead.

Shoplah's reply:
"i am so sorry but self collection has been changed to jurong now. as now all our clothes will be sent there for packing."

I then asked:
"Hi, we don't mind going to collect it at.. jurong. Haha. If it's alright shall i go ahead and make the payment of $246?"

Shoplah's reply:
"Hi, we do not entertain self collection for orders less than 21 pieces. Thank you and have a nice day. Regards, The ShopLah! Team"

I was already pretty irked by their curt reply. In addition, they seemed simply uninterested in earning your sales and did not even attempt to exceed customer's expectations or go the extra mile.

However, I decided then that I would make up the amount to at least 21items, so as to be able to hit the quota for self collection. Thus I decided to open the spree to public on this blogshop.

Thankfully, I came across the warning from Yilin.

Honestly, after reading the comments online, I do believe that Shoplah probably does send out the items (probably very very delayed), but they are not like the ones shown in the picture. It's a matter of quality and an issue of deceptive marketing to customers.

Right now, I am just grateful for the warning. Better safe than sorry! It's not worth the risk.

P.S. I am looking for that lace blouse in the pic! Preferably less than SGD$23. Do email or tag me if you know where I can get that! Thanks!

EARRINGS

#AE001 Oriental Charm,

~~$3.90~~
Now $2.50 only

1.3cm long

Note: Oriental Charm has a slightly rustic look to it. For eg, the gold parts may seem slightly scratached but that's not the case. It's coz the charm comes that way. That's what makes it look real vintage and rustic! :)

#AE002 Teardrop,

~~$4.90~~
Now only $3.30

2cm long (not including hook)

A really pretty piece! This kind of glass bead is usually quite expensive, thus the higher price than the other earrings.

#AE003 Crisps,

~~$2.90~~
Now $2 only

3cm X 3.8cm

It's somewhat like the seashell material.. Has a really cute "clink" sound when the 3 pieces knock against each other!

Note: The black spot in the middle is not dirt. The earrings came that way! It's embedded in the seashell material.

#AE004 Apricot

~~$2.90~~
Now $2 only

2.2 cm long (not including hook)

#AE005 Bombshell

~~$2.90~~
