Review on Love, Bonito Radcliffe Romper in Size S

2012-02-10T14:07:00.001+08:00

Fresh from the mailbox. The material of the romper is like those cotton linen? not exactly jersey cotton which will fur. But indeed this romper is sheer. Nude undies is definitely advisable! I'm wearing black on top and pink below. haha! so can see a little of the bottom. =X

Really love the cutting but I don't think $33.50 is justified for this romper. would have been better if it's with inner lining. Really sheer at the last pic where it's already two layer put together and light can still be seen. Definitely cannot wear normal bra and I did not change into a nubra. There is a button clasp right at the front for ladies who do not wish to wear too low cut. very thoughtful of LB to do that. hehe.. Sleeves are ruched at the side as seen.

sorry this review is done in a rush and I need to leave house now. any question you can ask me on twitter or formspring for immediate replies. hehe.. thanks for looking!

Something for the Vday? by Amelie-Anne

2012-02-10T11:19:00.003+08:00

Liz from Amelie-Anne kindly sponsored the following dresses to me - Sienna Jersey Dress & Alexa Rosette Dress. I thought the Alexa Rosette Dress is very suitable for the coming Vday occasion or a date with your beau. =D

Review on Amelie-Anne Sienna Jersey Dress in Heather Grey
Made of really good jersey material, the dress carries a little weight & really smooth to touch. :) Comes with matching sash but I prefer to don up in my own belt. Inner lining feels abit stuffy when worn and length is a little too long for my liking. I like dresses about 33" and probably gonna alter some inches off this dress.

Also comes with side pocket and VPL is not obvious for this dress. thanks to the thick inner lining and jersey material! Love the 3/4 sleeve which hid my flabby arms pretty well. :)

The Label Love by Amelie-Anne.

Review on Amelie-Anne Alexa Rosette Dress Blush Pink Size S
This dress is so apt for the Valentine's Day! And it exceeded my expectation for this dress cos I thought it's quite well-made, especially the rosette part. Chose it in dusty pink despite I seldom pick pink for apparels. But dusty pink for this dress is so sweet-looking & demure. Adds on a feminine touch with the 3D rosette. :)

Size S is snug on me at the ptp and I'm usually a 16" for ptp. But material is slightly on the stretchy side so i think Size S will fit up to small uk10 girls? :) This dress is also of decent length and suitable for work. Just top it up with a cardigan and blazer and you're good to go to work.

I'd recommend this dress if you are still aimless on which Vday dress to settle for. haha!

Isn't the rosette lovely? :)

Also loving made by Amelie-Anne - the Label Love

Amelie-Anne Kimono Love
However, if both the design is not really your usual style and would prefer something chic and attention grabbing.

This Kimono Love dress will suffice the above two points with the contrasting waist belt which is reversible too. Do not own this dress so I can't advise much on the material and fitting but don't you think it looks so cheery and chic on the model? :) Comes in 3 shades and I'm particularly loving the Raspberry Pink and Ash Blue one.

Get your Vday dresses fix at Amelie-Anne. :) Liz is really friendly and she'll answer to all your queries!

Review on SMooch Tori Dress in Peach Size S & M

2012-02-10T10:02:00.002+08:00

Only got Size S but a lovely friend of mine let go Size M to me cos my mum was telling me how Size S does not look nice on me due to the snugness at the butt. More details on it later. haha..

The design of this dress - Fabulous! Really love the unique back design! The material feels smooth & comfy too but it is slightly on the thinner side. Nude & seamless undies will definitely be advisable.

Okay, now about the fitting part. I tried Size S first and it really focuses alot on my butt. but the top & waist part is okay on me. still got plenty of allowance. Thus the restriction of the dress is entirely on the hip & butt area. My mum said its quite ugly cos it shows off my butt entirely. haha.. sigh...

Tried Size M this morning when my friend told me she'll let go the dress to me. Sarah said she prefer Size M and kept Size M when I asked her yesterday during self-collection. Size M fits better from waist down and at the same time, the top part is slightly looser. haha.. But Sarah said this dress is meant to be worn loose. Up to each individual I guess. Because after I tried Size M, I still decided to keep S anyway as it shows more waist than Size M. Indecisive I know. haha! Need to slim down on the butt to fit S nicely!

Review on Megagamie Jacobs Daisy Knit Cardigan In Classic Black

2012-02-08T15:55:00.002+08:00

Not sure if its self manufactured by MGG because there's no MGG tag. Really soft and smooth knit material + the daisy flowers are stitched so perfectly on the cardigan! Really awesome piece and worth every bits of $26. The colourful row of buttons added a cute touch to the cardigan. Prefer this over LB Cameron Cardi because the material itself win hands down. Material is thick enough to keep you warm. A good buy definitely!

Review on CWC Gathered Frill Chiffon Top Size M Black

2012-02-08T15:54:00.000+08:00

Got this at a steal at $10 mailed from a very nice seller. Top is lined and with adjustable strap. Chiffon used is really smooth and comfy. A perfect top to go with any bottoms. However, I thought it looks weird to pull the entire frill out.

Decided I should own a backpack again and also for the KL trip. It has to be in colourblock too! haha... Really cheap at $18 but of course, don't expect the bag to take ultra heavy weight like textbooks. material not that thick & sturdy. :) But for a short trip is fine! hehe!

Done with the visiting for this year CNY and here's the final sum for the ang baos. hehe! Gonna save them all!

Review on Tracyeinny Egle Faux Trapeze Bag in Deep Purple

2012-02-05T01:42:00.005+08:00

Managed to cart out this bag at a steal for 40% off in their recent promotion! TE verified my payment really fast and collection can be done 3 days after payment verification. So payment was verified on Wednesday and I went to collect my loots this afternoon and it was ready. so glad they have a store at J8 because it is much more accessible to me compared to the branch at Nankin Row.

Wasn't expecting alot from the bag and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the faux leather felt and also the inner lining. The faux leather felt buttery soft like the ATBU Laydee Day bag in puce if any of you girl own and it comes with a suede inner lining. How luxe can this bag be? Not to mention getting it at a steal for $20.40 after disc. I wouldn't mind to even pay the full price($34) for this bag! Comes with 2 compartments.

Celine-inspired and it can even open up like a Celine bag, with button clasp at the side to maintain the shape. Very roomy, looks and feels expensive! Really nothing to complain about this "luxurious" bag. haha! On top of the useability, I love the moddish colour of it - black, maroon with grey handle.

However, this bag can get slightly annoying if you are the sort who keep putting & taking things out when standing up cos the whole bag will be wide open. But I'm perfectly fine to go through this fussy step. The grey handle is slightly stiff and it kinda aches a little to hang it for a long time over your shoulder or on your arms.

Change to the bag immediately after collection. hehe!

Review on Swivelle Tailored Theory Blazer in Hot Red & Maroon

2012-02-02T14:12:00.002+08:00

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.

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. 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.

Pictures up ahead.

Maroon

Thumbs up for their awesome CS!

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~!

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

Review on MDS Sassy Lass Skirt in Navy Size S

2012-01-21T02:07:00.003+08:00

Thanks Ivy who helped me to get this piece of skirt at a whooping 40% off cos MDS were having some promotion. So it was only $27 after discount.

Really love this piece ever since I saw the pic here shared by a fellow podder and I immediately went to MDS website and have a look.

Love the unique design and didn't regret this purchase. First purchase w MDS and very satisfied! There's a mini skirt on the inner layer and the flowy chiffon on the outer. Material is not stretchable and Size S is really snug on me already. Definitely a keeper for it unique design! wedges definitely goes better with this skirt than pumps. hehe!

But to be honest, I wouldn't pay $45 for this piece cos MDS pricing is really quite out of my range so hurray for promotions!

A Whole Lot of Review on Love. Bonito Loots

2012-01-19T16:02:00.003+08:00

Review on Love, Bonito Paxton Top in Fuchsia Size S
Wasn't pining alot of hopes on this top and because it took so long to arrive, my lemming for it has died down. But immediately fell in love with it after trying it on. Size S fits me with slight allowance and so I think Size S will fit up to big UK8. The cutting of the top is so flattering such that it accentuate the curve at the waist yet at the same time create an illusion of me being bustier. haha.. The crochet and lace details of the top is definitely the highlights of it! Very pretty and well-done!

I find the tie-back design acceptable for me so I'm keeping it. pardon my flabby arms. haha.

Review on Love, Bonito Laurent Loafers in Cream Size 38
This Size 38 feel tight on me when I first tried but it was okay after walking around in the house. I was hoping the hard edge of the shoes won't cause me any blisters though. There seems to be a patch of stain on the tip of loafers. but I'm not especially particular about that cos it's gonna get dirty anyway.

The cream colour appears to be darker in real life as compared to the studio pics. No complains about this shoes and I forsee myself to wear them quite frequently. ohh, but i think the soles of the loafers does not have much friction though.

Review on Love, Bonito Petite Aleia Toga Size M
My favourite buy out of the items I received today. Very glad that I got tempted by Rach & Vel last minute to get this cos this dress was sold out in seconds. I think Size M is max out on me for the petite range and material for the inner lining is really good! Inner layer is stretchable but yet restricted by the non-stretchy chiffon on the outer layer. I don't own Zeira Lyle Bustier but i got a feeling that the material and fit should be the same as Zeira Lyle Bustier. Always follow what size Vel wore and it fits me!

Does squeeze a little of pit fats cos Size M is already maxed out on me. This dress shall be my 初一 dress for its splash of colour hues! I'd say its worth every penny!

Matches my nails too! :)

Review on TTR Must Be Love Scoop Back Dress in Electric Blue Size M

2012-01-18T20:21:00.002+08:00

It was a last minute decision to get this dress after discussion with my friends and I didn't regret the purchase. $26.50 for this basic skater dress is worth every penny. Fell in love with forest green but decided on Electric Blue because I already had LB Davenport Dress in Forest.

Material is really stretchy and somewhat similar to LB Basics Tisha Maxi kind of material. Stretchy jersey mixed w polyester but this material will not fur. Size M is slightly loose on me at the waist area but other than that, it fits nicely! A belt will just solve the problem. Really love the flare out bottom and therefore a tummy friendly dress! The scoop back is not really low that it will expose the back of the bra.

However, the electric blue is not as cobalt as the LB Palais Pencil Skirt. I thought this shade of blue carries a slight tinge of purple too.

Overall a good buy from TTR!

Some Last Minute Shopping

2012-01-16T14:29:00.006+08:00

Saturday: Shopping + The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Love, Bonito Cameron Cardigan, Basics Tiffany Tube & Palais Pencil Skirt, H&M Gold Cuff & Pumps, ASOS Pieces Necklaces

I was trying out the Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies in Black Drama for the first time on Saturday.

The fibres on the wand and spoon-curved shape wand. Easy to apply and at the same time, curls up your lashes. :)

Not much of lengthening effect but it does volumize the lashes. Avoid applying too many layers to make it too clumpy. I've to use another eyelash brush to separate my lashes cos they get a little too clumpy. =( but it does creates a "Falsies" kind of look which I love and I foresee myself to be using this quite frequently.

I got mine on Drugstore for abt $10+ after shipping while Watsons is retailing at $20.90 and if I'm not wrong, Watsons only has one shade in "Very Black"(Packaging with Green Wordings), mine is "Black Drama"(Packaging w Black Wordings). :) Another joy in spreeing.

Caught The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo which tickets were bought 2 nights earlier.
To be honest, I've totally got no clue on what the movie is about until the night before, my bro told me its about investigation/mystery thriller. That's because the title speaks nothing about that. haha..

The plot for movie is very intriguing yet subjective because I think its not a movie everybody will think its nice cos the story develops quite slowly & gets a little boring at some parts. Its a 158mins long movie and rated R21. But follow it through and you'll grow to love the movie. I got so fascinated by it that I went to google about the late Swedish Author Stieg Larsson. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first book in the Trilogy. Despite this movie uses so much of my brain juices and I was so lethargic at the end of it, I can't wait for the other two books to be on the movie screen with similar titles, "The Girl Who Played with Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest". A very intelligent movie I think!

I'd say watch it when you are feeling fresh or at the start of the day & you'll like it! :D

I really like Rooney Mara's acting and her role as Lisbeth Salander. Very versatile hair and you can see a change of style at every scene. haha!

Just read it off from Wikipedia that her brow and nipple piercings were real and she did it for the movie. Awesome right? Not to forget her bleached brows. But do you know that she starred as Erica Albright, gf of Mark Zuckerberg in Social Network.

She used to look like this. I somehow prefer her black-haired gothic look now. :)

Sunday: More Shopping

TVD Mischa Paperbag Suede Shorts, MNG Low Back Top

First try on Artease at Cineleisure. Had their Green Milk Tea but i still prefer the Koi's Green Milk Tea. What's nice at Artease because I'm always not adventurous in trying out new flavours. Do share with me! :)

Splurge over the weekends. My buys.

Baby G Watch, Mustard Snake Printed Bag from Lezle at Scape, 3 bottles of Polishes, Issey Miyake Florale(LOVE THIS!) and a mini hair straightener for my super frizzy hair=(. That's about it and they easily cost me around $300. sigh.

1 CG bottle and 2 OPI bottles from Nicki Minaj Collection. Got tempted by Wendy xiaomantou review on Metallic 4 Life and I knew I had to get it. Love anything bling, remember? Haha!

OPI Fly, OPI Metallic 4 Life, CG Peachy Keen, CG Fairy Dust, CG Ruby Pumps, CG Glittering Garlands

Can't really capture the true colour of this unique blue-green combination. Its closer to the pic with flash.

New nail colour, new fragrance and new watch.

I love the watchface! Red with purple contrast! :) I always go for big-faced watches so my wrist will look smaller. haha.. Next watch shall be a CK one if I managed to find one I like.

The bag which I just got has got similar prints as my clutch which I didn't notice until I was home. Not exactly a snake-print lover but since I don't have any bag in Mustard and for a change, why not? :)

Tried it with my CNY outfits and I thought it is okay. haha!

I love Davenport Dress all over again when I tried it on today but guess wad, I equally love the next outfit too! Now's the Million Dollar question. Which to wear for 初一？

Megagamie Merry Go Round Stitched Top and Love, Bonito Kassel Knot Skirt.

Check out my new nail colours! :) Which will only stay for another few hours because I'm gonna pamper myself a little for classic mani and pedi tmrw afternoon. for the CNY! Still thinking what design to do. :) See how much this CNY cost me. ZOMG!

On a side note, I'm hoping that my purchase at Love, Bonito today will reach me before this week because I did not opt for self collection this time round. :)

Almost determined not to get anything from this collection until I see Rach's and Vel's latest blogpost. Aleia Toga is so pretty on them!

Okay, off to do some research on nail designs already! :)

CNY Shopping List - Almost Done!

2012-01-12T14:49:00.012+08:00

So glad that LB launch was at 2pm and the site was functioning as per normal. no hang no nothing. Managed to cart out 4 items this time round. :)

I really love the cream for the Loafers but definitely gonna baby it cos I'm afraid it'll get dirty easily. =( Looks like parcel will only arrive next week because the stocks for Paxton top will come in tmrw.

Paxton Top in Fuchsia Size S and Laurent Loafers in Cream Size 38

I'm more or less quite done with my outfits for CNY. Almost all are from Love, Bonito. haha! Crazy right? =D

The number of stuff I received last Friday. Both registered parcel! But only 5 were mine.

Davenport Dress in Forest and Kassel Knot Skirt in Wine

To solve the problem of exposed bra strap at the back when wearing Davenport Dress, I've been searching everywhere for a low back converter strap. Checked La Senza, Triumph, Marks & Spencer but to no avail. Extended the search to Taka Deparmental Store and there are 2 available at $29.90 and $19.90. *gasp* $29.90 is about the same price as the dress & I'm not so willing to spend on it.
And then, I found this from Metro! :)

For only $7.90 and only available in white when I checked with the SA. It should come in black too but it was sold out. But then again, its worn inside so the colour shouldn't be a main issue. :)

I swear this is the best invention! ahaha. It really works wonder. :) It is as thin as your bra strap and the way to use it is to attach the thick part to your bra and hook it at the front. really easy!

Megagamie Merry Go Round Stitch Top in Navy

Love, Bonito Whittaker Wedges and Aldo Safko Glitter Bow Flat Ballet Pumps

That is a total of 3 pairs of shoes for CNY.

Topshop Statement Necklace which was on sales.

Massimo Dutti Ribbon Leather Cuff

Checked almost everything on the CNY shopping list except a bag, watch and a new scent. =)
So so broke.

I've been wanting to get a Baby G since eons ago. Sometimes we girls need a sporty/casual watch too right? :) Owned my first Baby G when I was 9 YO and that time was a luxury to have one okay! haha..

Kinda like these two designs and yes, I'm looking for something bright & unique. haha!

My Storage Techniques

2012-01-10T13:34:00.011+08:00

We may not have the luxury of space to keep all our things but keeping it neat & tidy in the space we have is important. :) I may not be the most cleanliness & neat freak but below are some tips and way on how I store my things. haha.

As CNY is approaching, the yearly spring cleaning needs to be done! Its all about throwing of stuff instead of just rearranging them. I used to 不舍得 to throw away anything because they're too pretty to throw or I thought I'd still use them(be it clothes, shoes or things) before they go into the bin. BUT until the next spring cleaning, I've never once used them or even take them out to admire or something. So the rule of thumb to spring cleaning for me, 就是大大方方的扔东西！

Coins

Was clearing this whole chunk of coins yesterday to make space for new coins for saving. This method works for me though its a slow saving process. but at the end of the day, when your piggy banks are full, you'll be amazed with the amount you saved unknowingly! :) I only collect $1 and $0.50 coins which I've already cultivated the habit to not use the $1 and $0.50 coins when it's on my hands and all will go to the piggy banks at the end of the day.

the one dollar gold coins

the fifty cents silver coins

Painstakingly counted and stacked them nicely.

My Mashi Maro(for $1) and Bobdog(for $0.50) piggy banks. They're filled up to brim that everytime I have to shake them to make space for new coins.

And now that DBS has the coin deposit machine makes coin depositing much more easier but of course, there's charges to it but its so minimal like $0.0075 per piece. for a 100 of $1 is $0.75 = $100 - $0.75 = $99.25. Else, another alternative is to ask around the coffeeshops & they should be willing to take in the coins as they have to pay for charges too to change coins for their daily business. :)

Makeup Brushes & Area

The drugstore items just arrived yesterday and I've ordered a set of E.L.F brushes to replace my current ones.

This is the studio edition and compared to their normal range brushes, it is much softer and not so rough. Made of Taklon. They're USD3 each so its about SGD4.05 per piece before shipping and about SGD5 per piece after shipping. :)

Old Vs New brushes. the old brushes are either from E.L.F too or from Coastal Scents.

Bought this MUJI container for easy access and storage to these brushes.

My mini make up area. My makeup is really simple thus I don't have a lot of makeup products too. :)

Haven even use this regular sized EDM blushes yet! and they're maybe 2YO? haha.. time to throw!

Accessories - Rings, Bangles, Bracelets & Necklaces

Due to space constraints, the best way to maximise them is to stack up trays! I've got "Three-Storeys" high. :)

Consist of my bangles, bracelets, watches and rings. The container for rings is bought from MUJI too. LOVE Japanese for their ideas and they've got excellent idea on storage!

The accessories hanger for my necklaces! and previously I was using the Daiso notice board. A cheaper alternative compared to the pink accessories hanger.

Belts

This is really handy and you can also use for scarves and ties! Its only $9 from Ikea.

Bags

Do not own any branded bags currently so I put all my bags in this Ikea plastic box. Really save space and I just place this box under my computer desk.

Wardrobe

I don't have a walk-in wardrobe nor a super huge wardrobe to store my clothes. But this small wardrobe I have is enough.

All the pictures are taken after I've clear my stuff and packed nicely. So it appears to be really neat. haha! Before that, my wardrobe is really messy and I don't see any space at all! the bottom part is for all my BNIBs and my masks! The blue box hanger with a row of compartments on the right is from Ikea too, bought many years back. I slot all my basics, spags top and my running attire there. Save me alot of space!

So now you see, I don't have alot of clothes actually. haha! Cos I've been constantly buying ALOT but I'm selling stuff too.

You can dropped by Ikea for storage ideas, Daiso and MUJI for really good & handy storage box or containers. :)

Carted out this pair of Aldo flats after seeing the real thing at Bishan J8 yesterday. oh yes, Aldo took over the Giordano area and I just knew yesterday! *gasp* has it changed for quite some time? How long have I not been to J8? haha..

I hope it arrives before CNY! Shop is retailing at $129 but I managed to find it at half the price! :) I love anything bling and bow!

Love, Bonito BASICS Tiffany Tube & Kassel Knot Skirt, Swivelle Tailored Theory Blazer, H&M Gold Cuff & Mustard Flats, Mynt Shop Necklace & MBMJ Watch

Super in love with this skirt. This has got to be the perfect bandage skirt that I've been looking forever! :) I would say this skirt compliments heavy bottom girls(who's just like me) after trying on numerous bandage skirt. KY ruched skirt, LB Rochester Skirt and LB Santa Cruz Skirt all emphasizes my fat hips but not Kassel Knot Skirt. :) Thinking of getting black one if LB opens a BO for it.

But do take extra care of this pretty precious skirt cos it is inevitable that it will fur due to the material. Tested & proven. Mine furred a little after slight/wee bit of friction against my blazer. =( SADNESS!

Ended work and headed to PS to meet up with the girls for dinner at Hot Tomato suggested by LH! haha.. Never been there before although I've walked pass it umpteen times. Affordable meal and I quite enjoy the food there. =D

All main dish comes with spaghetti and prices ranging from $7.90 to $10.90.
Top to Bottom: Steak, Pork Chop w Sausages and Dory Fish.

With YZ, LH and Veron. :D

Settled for a quick dinner and we made our way to ButterFactory. Never been to Butter but had recollection that it was near to Overeasy opposite MBS when I was there with Victor previously. And I remembered I alighted at Raffles Place to meet him. Thank goodness we didn't get lost and were one of the first few to be there.

While Q-ing up.

Took pictures before the event starts! haha..

my 大小眼. =(

We found a pretty good spot to be in view of the whole "stage" which is the dancing area and the best thing is that we were a table away from Viola and Rach. :)

There are a total of 30 Love, Bonito outfits which are being showcased by the volunteers & survivors from the Breast Cancer Foundation. They are divided into 3 sets of 10 outfits in the categories of Casual, Work and Glam. Some outfits ring a bell and some which I totally do not have any recollection. All of the 30 outfits are up for auction and minimum bid starts from $40 and each bid increment is in the multiples of $5.

The Casual Collection. The 1st outfit was the Pleated Bust Jumpsuit inspired by ASOS and previously launched by SMooch too.

The Work Collection which you can spot Bernadette Blazer in Dusty Pink on the 2nd lady.

The Glam Collection. Which is the collection that catches my attention. :)

From Left to Right:
Embellishments Peterpan Collared and Sleeves w Sheer Chiffon Sleeves
Toga Bustier Dress
Tristen Tunic which was launched earlier
Printer Halter Maxi which I tried to bid for it. haha...

Us with Rach and Viola. Both are really gorgeous in person and they're wearing the dresses that was just launched! Emma Hill Frock in White and Anjou Maxi in Periwinkle.

Our self-shot group pic along the underpass to The Fullerton Hotel. All of us are decked in Love, Bonito apparels. :D

Am seriously in love with my OTD yesterday! :) The skirt is definitely a must-get!

A Simple Sunday!

Dinner at Old Airport Road for some yummilicious White Pepper Crabs and 老伴豆花.
My first try on it and it was o-k-a-y. hahaha! nothing really wowed about it and its slightly on the sweeter side I thought. :) But it was like every table has take-aways of 老伴豆花.

Headed to Ikea after dinner and this is something new. The self-service ice cream machine and its $0.50 now instead of $1. :)

Had my Starbucks+Red Velvet Cupcake(Not that fantastic! D:) fix and it was home sweet home. :)

two more weeks to CNY!

Review on Love, Bonito BASICS Tiffany Tube in Cobalt(S) and White(M) & Kassel Knot Skirt Forest(S) & Wine(M)

2012-01-06T15:28:00.004+08:00

Review on Love, Bonito BASICS Tiffany Tube in Cobalt(S) and White(M)
Wanted to get only white but in then couldnt resist cobalt and didnt regret nor feel guilty to own two of these. Size S does squeeze abit of pit fats as it is tighter at the pit area. and I'd prefer Size M for the tube on the overall. Size S is quite snug at the hip part. Pictures below.

Review on Love, Bonito Kassel Knot Skirt Forest(S) & Wine(M)
Took S & M for both the Kassel Knot Skirt & LB BASICS Tiffany Tube because I've had enough of sizing problems and since both are stretchable, i thought of keeping Size S for feel-slim days if S should be more snug on me.

Both the forest & wine colour are really gorgeous in real life. Material is really thick and can't really see VPL cos you can adjust the ruches at the back.

Comparison of Size S & M
Personally prefer Size M for more comfy fit at the waist band. and the hip part feels quite the same to me cos material is really stretchy! Size S will fit up to small UK10(like my size).

True colour of Forest & Wine

But all are keeper despite different sizing.

Review on MGG Merry Go Round Stitch Blouse in Navy Blue

2012-01-06T13:33:00.000+08:00

Have been wanting to get one piece in white ever since they launched previously but decided to get Navy blue cos its their new colour.

Material is really fab as reviewed by other podders previously and I'm able to push the sleeves up above my elbow. Material is really fab and its cooling for the hot weather. thinking of keeping it for CNY and pair together with Love, Bonito Kassel Knot Skirt. Its quite baggy w/o tucked it but I guess a waist belt or highwaisted bottoms will counter the bagginess. great for feel fat days too!

Splurged in the excuse of "Buying clothes for CNY" yst & today. hahaha! Have you all started CNY shopping alrdy? :D

Got the Merry Go Round Stitch Top from Megagamie yst in their new colour - Navy!
Love love love their Cheongsam in Chinese Red/Black but helped Gwen got it instead. :)

Thanks to Veron's help! and in return of being so nice, she won the $10 voucher from Megagamie cos she was the first 10 to pay up. haha! I've friends with super fast fingers be it LJ commenting or carting out system. LH just proved her skill today by carting out 10 items! I'm far from her, only managed to cart out 6! haha!

So out of 6, 4 belong to me and they are:

LB BASICS Tiffany Tube in Cobalt(S) and White(M)

Kassel Knot Skirt Forest(S) & Wine(M)

I had enough of sizing problems and thus I've decided to cart out one colour in each size to see the difference. For the knowledge of better fitting in future. haha! But since both top and skirt are stretchable, I think I'll save Size M for feel-fat days and that is almost everyday! haha!=D

Here's my new crush.

Been wanting to find the plushie for a long long time. shall being with a small size one! haha..

Will slot in a quick review. The BO batch of Davenport Dress arrived at surprisingly fast speed!

Here's my Review and Comparison of Davenport Dress in Forest Size S & M

Size S = Yellow Belt
Size M = White Belt
Ptp fits okay on me and I reckon it would fit up to 16.5" cos I'm of 16" ptp and there's still some slight allowance. I think the challenging part of the dress will be at the waist area cos the cloth is thicker at that area thus not so stretchy. :) and my 27" waist feels quite snug in it. haha!

The length is another huge difference where M is longer and make the whole dress looks droppy(?) where Size S makes it look like a cuter dress with its shorter length. Definitely prefer the fitting of Size S at the ptp and the length. Keeping this dress for CNY! =)

2012-01-02T01:11:00.008+08:00

Laclassicstyle Clutch, Love, Bonito Palais Pencil Skirt, MNG top, H&M Mustard Flats & Gold Cuff, Mynt Shop Necklace, MBMJ Watch

Accessories complete my outfit. I will never leave house w/o a bangle/cuff/bracelet or a watch.

If only I had no tummy and the endless legs to wear LB Palais skirt prettily. :( But still loving this piece! haha.

I kinda fall in love with the short-hair(though not really short kind) look on me over & over again. Doubt I will leave my hair long anytime soon. :D

A Karaoke date was fixed on Christmas because we reckoned it's been a long time since we sang together(last was during Poly days?) and we'd spent NYE together playing MJ. haha... Away from the crowd and doing the things we like - Karaoke & MJ-ing with the good company. Simple yet awesome! =)

The awesome people and the super cute couple.

Jenn Jenn just had a change of outlook for the new year & Fang Fang's really long hair now. Yup, her eyes are really big. 大眼美女. And her BF who is 耍帅-ing, an avid lover of 小猪罗志祥's STAGE & 小鬼黄鸿升's Alien Evolution Studio.

当我们飚完高音后.

We headed to Centerpoint Astons Prime for our NYE dinner. Quite taken aback by their menu because we thought it was just the usual Aston we always eat. There was no double-up chicken or black pepper chicken I always eat. Its more of steaks at Astons Prime. Of course the price at Prime is more expensive and we spent abt $25 each.

Soup of the day - Clam Chowder Soup and Chicken Provencal.
Salmon Steak and Ribeye Steak. You can even choose the doneness of the salmon steak. Even their presentation of the food appear to be more atas. All main entree comes with 2 sides dishes too.

I would still prefer the Aston Specialities branch as they are more affordable and more varieties if you're not really a steak lover. What I love is their Clam Chowder soup which is really thick with lotsa of ingredients within it. :D

Headed to Fang Fang's house for a game of Mahjong and waited to countdown together. :D
That pretty sums up my NYE as I've still got work the next day on New Year. how sad. haha!

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL WHO'S READING THIS SPACE! XOXO!

Currently waiting for my ASOS parcel which consist of these 2 necklaces below and two guy's tee. I've been buying lots of accessories lately. plus the H&M gold cuff in my OTD above. One of my friend commented that I'm an "accessories queen". haha!

Got this Paul Frank Lipsmackers because of the PINK POUCH! and for $26.90 only. Why not? and the lipgloss are really nice & sweet. With flavours like cotton candy & chocolate. Yums!

I'm also thinking of getting a Cambridge Satchel. In either yellow, red, green or purple. :)

Its not exactly the most friendly bag cos of the buckles which are not magnetic and the size which I wanna get - 11" is not roomy too. Shall go take a look and feel the real thing soon before deciding to get one. :D

My Whiteberry now has rainbow keypad! hahah!

very very awesome right? =P

My shopaholic friends and I have already bought tickets for the Pink Dolphin Pretty in Pink Charity Fashion Show. See you guys there if you're attending too! Can't wait to see the previews of LB! =)

Review on Love, Bonito Palais Pencil Skirt in Cobalt Size S

2011-12-30T16:38:00.000+08:00

Was discussing with my friends on what size to take and decided I should go for M for better fit cos she owns the previous Merrill Skirt. And when I was carting out, I changed my mind last minute(again, just like the Davenport incident but this time was size down instead of size up) so I carted Size S. Was having jittery about whether can I squeeze in cos Size S looks snug on Zianna and Bea.

Size S fits me snugly and I think it is stretched max on me. Thank goodness for the stretchy material. It is quite stretchy IMO. Material is quite thick too but cos the skirt is not lined thus VPL may be visible. Another thing about this skirt is that it is not really tummy friendly too. I have a feeling that the material will fur.

Cobalt is really pretty as usual. its the same shade of cobalt as Taia Kate & Davenport.
Love the pleather edge and the zipped back which gives a casual feel to the pencil skirt. The zip is really smooth unlike some lousy zip that is difficult to zip up. Pair it with a blazer and the whole look will be sharpen and achieve the corporate look.

Overall a really satisfied purchase with LB(once again). This marks my last loot of the year 2011 and it fits me! Double yayness. Worth buying I feel.

Reference for fitting: I'm a UK8/10 for bottom, Waist is 27" and Hip at fullest is 36". S is snug on me and of course Size M will be better on me.

thanks for looking

Review on Love, Bonito Tinsel Flats in Gold Size 38

2011-12-30T11:11:00.000+08:00

The workmanship of the flats is pretty good. Comfy to walk around too and the glitz are really glittery! Didn't want to get it initially after knowing the insoles is actually linen and I'm someone whose feet perspire quite easily. Thus I will always refrain from buying shoes that is not leather insoles. But still I got it in the end wanting to see the real thing and also to try it on. Really love the black and gold contrast and hopefully LB will consider manufacturing it using their usual insoles for the wedges/heels. Can't bear to part with this pretty pair but I know the lifespan of this flats will be shorten with me wearing it.

Sizing of the flats fits true. I'm a C&K 38 and wear Size 38 for all LB shoes.

22nd Dec - LoveBonito Self Collection

MNG Top & Belt, Megagamie Lampshade Skirt, Oh! Poupée Heartlock Bag, Mynt Shop Necklace, Massimo Dutti Chain Linked Bracelet

Met up with LiHan to collect our LB loots together. :) My first to their warehouse.
There was no queue and we were greeted by two pixies & this pretty LB logo lighting.

The collection process was completed within few mins and we parted our ways once we were at Aljunied Station. Forgotten to take a pic with the nicely-dressed LH cos we were both 大包小包。 Zomg zzzzzz. :(

Did last minute Xmas shopping in town that day.

Passed by Forever21 Orchard Exchange and spotted this seemingly familiar Love, Bonito Whittaker Wedges-like wedges in Jade. Haha! Its of the same height and comfy too! retailing at $39 if I remember correctly. Almost very tempted to get one pair but Jade is a rather difficult colour to pair with.

23rd Dec - Xmas Gathering at Love Love's Place

Oh! Poupée Heart On Pocket Dress, Swivelle Blazer, Bag & Accesories as Above.

But before that, I was running errand and first stop was Intercontinental Hotel at Bugis.

It was a 2 hours duration focus group discussion on Recycling and the incentive was $50. YAY! The discussion lasted less than 2 hours and I quickly made my way to meet Felicia and Gwen at two separate locations.

I swear its the busiest day of my life in Year 2011.

Passed Gwen Xmas pressie and headed off to town to shop a bit before Veron joined me.

In short, the places I've been to and the route I took was:
Home - Bugis - Tiong Bahru - Raffles Place - Town - Home - Serangoon - Cashew Road(Bukit Panjang).

Phew~! Tiring yet awesome day! Dinner started pretty late like at 8pm after setting up the BBQ pit and tables.

From raw marinated food to.....

cooked and yummilicious food! Thanks Love Love Fang for buying and preparing the food. :) And always hosting Xmas party at her place so we all have a chance to catch up with one another at least once a year! :D

her cute little nephew who is so handsome with his big big eyes!

another guest appearance, Joy. Who is Jenn's niece. haha! I don't know why did I make that stupid face. :( hahaha! Very smart girl!

She was taught to cover her mouth when she laugh cos it is more demure this way as a lady. haha! So cute right? :D
And with her aunt, my strongest GF - Jenn Jenn. *big hugs*

With Love Love Fang and her beau, CH.

With Love Love Cat and her beau, Clarence.

The guys.

and the girls.

You know, it really takes alot of effort to come together and meet up with old friends. Many people will just leave a comment "Let's meetup soon" and the meetup was never fulfilled. Don't you get that alot? I'm really glad I still get to meet this group of friends no matter how busy they are or one can even fly back from Aussie on this special occasion. :D

I've not spent my poly days in vain because I've met this wonderful bunch of peeps.

This was probably one of the years we chit chat till 1am and decided its time to do our gift exchange. Previous year, each and everyone of us were always rushing off to church, elsewhere or somewhere and the party usually come to an end by 12midnight. But not this time. We stayed on till 2plus as all of us were exhausted! not forgetting the day started early for most of them who were working.

We changed to rule of the gift exchange slightly and we were to pick the pressies ourselves. No drawing lots or whatsoever. haha!

And I picked Jenn's one! Those 3 boxes are edible chocolate games!

Super pretty and big Xmas tree at the living room! This year they added the purplish pink mesh ribbon. Too pretty to not take a pic with it. So we did. :D

Already planned what's for Xmas2012 and I hope it will come true. haha!

24th Dec - Xmas Eve (Work & Sherlock Holmes Movie)

CWC Alysse Pleated Skirt, Swivelle Cheers to Slit top, TVD Mischa Suede Paperbag Shorts, F21 Reindeer Necklace (given by SM)

Went to work in the former outfit but changed to the latter for movie at Nex in the evening. The latter is much more christmassy right? :D
Sherlock Holmes was a brilliant movie and the story plot is not as slow compared to the previous one. However, I'm so tired that my eyelids were so heavy and I've gotta fight against the drooping eyelids near to the end of the show. ZzzzZZzzz.... Headed to Summer Breeze afterwards and witness the first ever Wedding Proposal I've ever seen in real life. As usual, the bride-to-be said "YES". What's new?

25th - 1st Day of Xmas!

Oh! Poupée Sequin Collar Dress, SMooch Bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs Watch, CWC Belt

Made my first ever purchase with Oh! Poupée for the gorgeous collared dress. Yes, they're sequins. :) Will do a proper review on this dress soon. I really love love the shade of wine red/burgundy and the sequins are just so proper for the christmas season!

Made my way to MBS only to be disappointed by the out of stocks. :( Wanted to get myself a christmas present. haha! But in return, I've got myself another Massimo Dutti leather cuff.

At the same time, we visited the Louis Vuitton Island.

The walkway to the LV Island.

Settled dinner at Kenny Rogers Roasters and it was such a christmassy dinner. :D

The muffins plus the 3 sides dishes. Loving the Macaroni & Cheese to bits though I cannot finish it.

The mains - Half Rotisserie Chicken and Half Slab of Ribs.

Some of the many christmas pressie for myself.

Massimo Dutti Bow Leather Cuff.

and this awesome accessories hanger creation! haha...

One more on the list and I'm waiting for restocks. :D I've been busy like a bee before and on Xmas that I just spent the entire day at home on Boxing Day. Blissful enough. Year end is coming soon! How was your 2011? =)

Review on Love,Bonito Lucia Inez Corset in Black Size M

2011-12-24T11:10:00.000+08:00

Material is really lightweight and the boning of the corset is really sturdy! Holds on to your body shape and accentuates the curve at waist. BUT! somehow, the cutting of the corset is not suitable for me. I've no assets to fill up the top part yet the waist and hip part is snug on me. So even if I size down, the corset wouldn't fit me too. That being said, though the top part is loose on me, due to the sturdy boning, it doesnt drop down. There are numerous hooks to hook up too. zzzz. haha! Sadly, this is not a keeper for me too. The back part shows how tight the waist and hip is.

Exactly a week ago, we met up for dinner. Less than 2 months ever since we met up for Marmalade Pantry at this post. Dinner venue was set at Food For Thought(FFT) at 8Q.

It is really convenient to go FFT now with the Circle Line. Just alight at Bras Basah and exit from Exit A which indicates SAM or NTUC Income Centre. :) Once you are out of the exit, just walk straight and you'll be greeted by this building! :)

"Good Food For A Good Cause" :)

Jan, Veron and Myself were early to reserve a table for our group.

Called a day earlier for booking but reservations are full! Only 50% of the seating capacity are for reservation and the rest are for walk-ins. It is advisable to call 2 weeks in advance for booking. :D

Waited for the rest to join us! haha.. so excited while waiting and couldn't stop taking pics. :)

Our table is filled with gifts, phones and cameras.

Only managed to take close up with Veron and SM. :(
Why is my face so fat? SIGH!

Love from Janice & Ivy! and YZ gave us chocs too! Really very sweet of them! :D

with YZ & LH!

We were one another's Secret Santa and I did the picking. haha.. So only I am aware who is the Santa and who is the Santee. The discussion with what clues to give, what not to buy over Whatsapp was really fun! My first Christmas with these girls! :)

And the food came.

It was either Risotto or Linguine for us while Janice had the Cutlet. The serving is huge!

Janice's Baobeis! The perk of getting married early! haha.. No age gap with the kids. :D

Desserts! But the red velvet cake was disappointing. :( Looks pretty though!

Partial group pictures.

SM was my Secret Santa and she got me accessories from F21. She knows me really well! haha.. Thanks for the pressie!

The final group pic and till the next meetup! :) Love the girls' company every single time! hehe...

Christmas wouldn't be complete without watching Alvin & the Chipmunks.

Watched it last Saturday and gosh, I FELL IN LOVE WITH THEODORE over again! :) He's really v v v v v cute. I'd say it is worth watching!

One of my Christmas present! Really love it loads!

Popped by Topshop at Bugis and found a super good deal! Vel wore this Necklace with the Davenport Dress and really like it! But it was retailing at whooping $49. Was browsing through the accessories rack and found this! Super elated cos it was hiding behind other necklaces.

Got it at 1/3 the price. Go do the Maths. :D haha!

Need to rush off to prep for self-collection of the LB stuff now! My first time visiting the LB warehouse! hehe.. Merry Xmas everyone!

Just carted these two items from LB launch. :)

Lucia Inez Corset in Black & Tinsel Flats in Gold in Size 38

Was quite determined not to get any items this time round but all the other girls were talking about the corset and SiMin reviewed the previous wine red got me tempted! haha... Gonna go self collect for the first time!

Bought some nail polished on Sat cos I was at Scape and they're really pretty & cheap to resist.
China Glaze polishes are going for $8 per bottle and 3 for $20. OPI ones are $10 each.
My previous Seche Vite Top coat dried up and I thought I should restock it + the base coat and they're going for $10 each. They're HSA certified and even has the certificate to show us. Thus I felt quite safe of my purchase. :)

These 5 bottles cost me $40.

Fairy Dust - which the girl said its best for layering!
Ruby Pumps - with red specks & glitters
Glittering Garlands - with green specks & glitters

Love glitz and more glitz! :) Great for festive seasons!So I got the Ruby Pumps & Glittering Garlands to go together specially for XMAS! :)

Christmas Gift by Mynt Shop

2011-12-15T23:40:00.004+08:00

Noi & Teng from Mynt Shop kindly gifted a necklace and a customised bracelet to me.

Especially love the bling bling necklaces they bring and yes, they're especially shiny and at an affordable price. :)

Customisation of accessories is usually the hardest but Noi who had been tending to my queries manage to customise to what I want. I'm pretty amazed with the wide variety of charms Mynt Shop has for their bracelets/necklaces.

When Noi asked me if I have any specific theme I'm looking for in a bracelet, I couldn't think of any. Which then struck me that I've been eyeing on the very common T&Co bracelet which everyone has. Haha! But I just couldn't bear to spend THAT amount yet solely on a bracelet. So I thought of something along T&Co yet not so, if you get what I mean. Haha!

And so, this is the end product of what Noi lovingly tailor-made for me.

The "Reflection" Necklace & the customised bracelet.
Isn't it so T&Co-ish? With the heart-shaped and the clover key charm!! haha.. Even the hook is exactly the same as T&Co but just that the thickness of the bracelet differs. Really loving the Harp charm which a Cupid will hold on to. haha! Its so cutesy.

If you really like this particular creation Mynt Shop has done for me, it is named "Made with Love".

While the "Reflection" Necklace is so shiny all over, even the chain is so bright! Upclose on the necklace and bracelet when worn.

A very easy to pair necklace esp on dark-coloured apparels!

See the blings! :) Wore it out with my friends for dinner and received compliments on it!

Thank you Mynt Shop for accessorizing up my this Christmas!

Mynt Shop is currently having a twelve days of Christmas sales from 13th Dec 2011 to 25th Dec 2011. More details are up on their Livejournal. So do visit them for some accessories for this coming Christmas. :)

Have been trying to cut down carbo intake and to eat healthily because this week is quite a stressful week - to meet up with so many pretty ladies. Been masking every night and got especially hardworking when it comes to skincare regime just because of this week.

Haha!

My breakfast these few mornings. and one box is $8.50? zomg! It is so expensive to eat healthily. Got the idea from Gwen to add the organic cranberries to the cereal. Its nice! :)

Its quite tasty and the cranberries add a little sweetness to the cereal. :)

Swivelle Tailored Theory Blazer, Megagamie Lampshade Skirt

Met up with 2 very sweet ladies for a MNG VIP Exclusive Sales preview. Thanks Felicia for the invite.

And yes, I know them online too. Felicia is a twitter friend of mine and Ying Tian is also a fellow podder.

We hit the outlet at Shaw Centre first.

Total damage:
Felicia - $70++
Ying Tian - $140++
Myself - $48

Really love what I bought and the leather dress Ying Tian got. :)

Dinner at Marmalade Pantry as we were around the vicinity. We've decided to fill our stomach first before hitting the outlet at Ion Orchard. haha.

Dearest Felicia and Ying Tian. :D

The three of us.

Lemon Meringue Sponge Cake. The spiky spikes are Brulee. Looks like Durian right? Abit sweet though. :) But what's dessert with no sweetness?

Caramelized Pear and Salted Caramel Bread Pudding & Crabmeat Linguini

That was what we shared cos we weren't particularly hungry. :) Crabmeat Linguine is so nice!

So here's my buys.

A black U-lowback top which is similar to LB Taffie Top and a double-buckle belt. Love it for it modish feel! The belt was the last piece on the rack in my size. As usual, my instinct told me to get it. hehe! Love how the top makes me look slimmer than usual!

Almost didn't buy the Black top as I couldn't find my size but Felicia helped me to dig out one piece. hehe.. and Ying Tian is so nice to get us a Xmas gift. THANK YOU GIRLS!

Am so blessed.

Taking a Break From Blogshopping

2011-12-12T23:21:00.005+08:00

Its been a while since I last joined any sprees. Used to do that every single week.

Spreeing on F21, Drugstore, Nordstrom, TW websites, VS and etc etc. haha.. But eventually stopped because I've kinda switch to fully blogshops shopping.

F21 used to be much cheaper online and it can be as much as a $5 difference per item but nowadays, F21 local stores are matching the online prices. Its either SG local stores lowered the price or F21.com hike up the price. haha.. Etiher reason no longer justify why I should wait 2-3 weeks for the loots to reach me while I can get it at almost similar prices at local stores immediately. :)

Apart from the price difference, people used to spree in a community because of the unavailability of the selected brands in Singapore. For example, La Senza, Victoria Secrets, A&F, Makeup brands like Sephora, Urban Decay, Smashbox etc. Right now, its easily available in SG. Just look at La Senza. and the recent big hoohaa from the adverts and opening of A&F. Haha!

Its time to change those makeup brushes and I thought why not get E.L.F again but this time their Studio Edition. Devoted quite abit of time to do research on brushes, reviews on mascaras and finally settled for these. All from Drugstore.com.

These brushes are just USD 3 each and I'm not some professional MUA so these will meet my really basic requirement for makeup. haha!

Complexion Brush and Blush Brush

Concealer Brush and Small Angled Brush for gel eyeliners.

Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies WP Spoon Brush Waterproof Mascara, Black Drama 385

All the above cost only $38 before shipping. Haha!

And on a happier note, this is today's number of page loads. :)

Thanks everyone for visiting my humble blog. haha!

And I've finally made up a choice to BO Love, Bonito Davenport Dress in Forest. I'm hoping that it arrives before CNY!

Review on Love, Bonito Whittaker Wedges in Black Size 38

2011-12-12T15:55:00.000+08:00

I wear C&K 38 and Whittaker Wedges in Size 38 fits me nicely. As footwear is really very subjective to individuals, it is always best to refer to the footwear measurements given. As mentioned by LiHan, this pair is really light. Very easy to walk in too. This is the most comfy pair of covered up wedges I've ever tried on and it is comparable to the actual pair of Aldo wedges retailing at $179? haha.. Definitely worth BO-ing for! Very tempted to wear it out but I'm gonna keep this pair for CNY! Love how it looks with Edinburgh dress. :D
