Review on Swivelle Tailored Theory Blazer in Hot Red & Maroon

It is always very pleasant to shop with the Swivelle girls! From issuing invoice to verifying payment & mailing out the parcel, fast & swift is the word to describe. And the awesome CS does not end there. A picture of the stamp-affixed parcel is sent to every customer at every single purchase. This action only gives extra assurance and throughout all my online shopping experience, Swivelle is the only blogshop that does this!

Received the parcel from Swivelle really quickly despite only paying up at 11am yesterday morning. payment verification and sending out of parcel was really fast on Swivelle's end. smile.gif

This batch of Hot red and Maroon seems to be more structured in material compared to the Black one I own which is from the BO batch. The flap in this batch is not flimsy at all. though I still think that the hot red one is thicker than the maroon colour piece.

Couldn't decide on Red or Maroon before the launch thus I decided to comment for both colours but the studio pics for the Maroon one was quite off. Initially I thought of backing out for the Maroon one but I thought why not get it and see the true colour. smile.gif The colour seems to be really purplish on their website.

But when I received it and tried it on, both colours look fab and it really caught me in a dilemma to decide which colour to keep. haha! Maroon turns out to be pretty in real life too! But I feel that red is easier to mix&match with different colours. smile.gif

Pictures up ahead.

First few purchases after CNY

Swivelle Tailored Theory Blazer in Hot Red & Maroon

A highly-raved piece from all who own this blazer!
Previously reviewed the one in black here. I didn't know which colour to get at the last minute so I commented for both hot red and maroon. But the maroon colour is quite off which I didn't wanted to pay for it initially. Its abit on the purple side rather than reddish maroon. Paid for it nonetheless cos I wanna see the true colour of it. haha! Not gonna keep both red and maroon because 2 colours for the same thing is more than enough. let alone 3 colours. =D

Tracyeinny is currently having 40% off purchase from today(1st Feb) to 14th Feb which is why I just checked out a bag & a necklace. Its the first purchase with them in years. maybe a 2 years at least?

Egle Faux Trapeze Bag in Deep Purple


Love the chic design and very Celine-ish. =D

Lousia Black Necklace

Have been wanting to own necklace of this design. and for $10.80 after discount. why not? :)

$30 for the 2 items is really a steal! Opted for self-collection at J8 and hope they process my order fast. =D

P/s: Swivelle just verified my payment which I only paid at around 11am and they will be mailing them out today! WHEE~!

Waiting for Love,Bonito to launch sooooooonnnnnn! =D

Despite the nature of material which tend to fur v easily, Kassel Knot skirt is still a keeper for its flattering design and colour. :) Its bow cuff and bow pumps that day.

I'd prefer the former cos its more light-hearted while some parts in Viral Factor are really exaggerating.

初八早 - 推拿 & Lunch with Jenn!

MNG Basic Top, Love, Bonito Kassel Knot Skirt, C&K Sandals, Accessories as above

Rewearing them cos I didn't have 15 different outfits throughout the CNY. haha.. looks like I haven buy enough yet. =D

Met up with Jenn for 推拿 cos coincidentally both of us have been suffering from back pain. Mine's quite serious that it has been causing pain at the neck, back and spine area. I thought it was just a problem due to bad sleeping posture but the therapist said my spine is slightly crooked and I need to maintain a good sitting and sleeping posture. =( Looks like I've got to be more mindful about it and do more exercises to correct it.

Lunch was at Seoul Yummy in Central Mall


and gosh, forgot to take picture with Jenn! haha.. Shall make it up during the trip to KL!
Yup, going KL in 11 days! Counting down though its a short getaway!

初八晚- 拜天宫
