Haul! April 2012: H&M, Newlook, ASOS, Zipia

Read Article →

Sorry guys this post is way overdue. The reason why I haven’t post this up yet was because in this episode you will see that there is lots of dark clothing and my camera does NOT like dark colours at all. My white balance goes absolutely bonkers with dark clothing so I was trying to get inspired for other ways of taking outfit photos but failed miserably which led to some downtime. Therefore in most pictures here, the white balance was thrown off scale so please forgive me for that. 

I’m trying to find new ways of taking nicer pictures so please stay with me while I play around and improve myself! 

If you guys are new here, this is my monthly fashion haul where I showcase apparels that I have purchase within the entire month. Sadly, there are not many items the month of April. Okay so let’s get started with the haul!










 H&M Grey Jersey T-shirt [SGD$20]






From H&M I bought a very adorable dark gray jersey shirt. The reason I bought it was actually because the shirt looked like something a little kid would wear so I was sold on that. The lining is very distinct and I find it so cute and the material is actually very high quality. It may not show on the pictures but the shirt is of a harder material and that makes it stay in that form & position. 

Originally it was $40 but was on sale for $20. Gray shirts are usually a big taboo for me, since I live in a desert and nobody likes sweaty pits. But the gray was very dark and it was just too adorable to give it up. I bought it in size 36 and it was way too big. I didn’t try it because the queue was way too freaking long but the bagginess looks alright.  








 
Newlook Black Peterpan Collar Lace Shift Dress [SGD$40]






This uber cute dress is from Newlook and I bought it on sale for $40 originally for $80. If I remembered it correctly it was either the last or second last piece and both did not come in a Size 10. So I made do with a Size 12 and altered 2.5 inches off the length to make it more wearable. What sold me on this dress is because of the collars. As you guys already know, I am a huge collar person so it was love at first sight. The quality is nice and gold zipper works really well.









 ASOS Midi Skirt [ASOS - £$12]




This midi skirt was a very lucky purchase because it was totally sold out the next day on ASOS. I kinda knew it was going to be like a big hit for everyone so I went ahead and got it first. Close enough all 3 colours (black, purple, jade green) were almost sold out the next day. I bought it in UK10 and seriously this skirt is super tight on me. I am not a naturally curvy girl and my waist isn’t really the tiniest out there so it may make sense. The skirt does not have a waistband so I may have to get rid of some pounds to not have to suffer wearing it. The quality is fabulous and the length is perfect. I am 165cm and it ends around 4 inches above the ankles.







 Rare Coral Scallop Collar Dress [ASOS - £$14]








Also from ASOS this dress was one that I bought pretty long ago. The colour on the site was like a more washed out pastel coral colour but in real life it is more of a in-your-face coral colour. I guess I can always wear a cardigan to tone down the brightness. I always find that I have to alter the length of skirts or dresses bought from western countries (River Island, warehouse, etc) because their models are just so tall, but for this dress I do not have to. For reference I am 165cm. I bought it in UK14 because it was the only size available. The waist band is self-tied so I can adjust it according to the thickness of my waist. Bright colours are always a cheerful spark in a dull boring Monday.








 
Zipia Peterpan collar T-shirt [Zipia - USD$24]



 


I am actually really disappointed in this top. I thought it was more of a polyester think flowy material top but it is of a very thick, heavy material. And usually zipia clothing sizes are really petite, maybe up to a UK size 12/14. But this top is strangly huge and the cut is pretty unflattering. It looks like I’m wearing my dad’s top or something. And since it is cream slightly grayish, it shows sweat stains really well and I absolutely hate fabric which shows wet marks. Maybe I’ll try wearing it on a cooler day instead.  








So That's all folks! Stay tune for next week's May Haul!

Haul December 2011: ASOS, Gmarket, Zipia, Urbanoutfitters, Warehouse

Read Article →
Hey guys! I just received my parcels and this post will be the long awaited haul. This post is like super super overdue so sorry! This time I was really smart and bought only items that I really liked to reduce my habit of impulse buying. So after much consideration these are the items that I bought and I really LOVE almost all of them! There are more items from more brands so yeah! Let get into it!







River Island Floral One Shoulder Frill Dress (ASOS £13.00)



Inner Lining


If you guys are familiar with ASOS, you guys know I love them! They definitely are on the pricier side but their sale section has an extremely wide catalogue from so many brands. I always go onto ASOS regularly as there are always some unexpected sales on brands and the prices ends up ridiculously cheap.

 I bought this dress from River Island (my absolute favourite brand) and originally it costs £44.99 but it went on sale for only £13.00 which is around SGD27. An absolute bargain! The quality is amazing and you guys may find the pattern & colour tacky but in real life it is really pretty (looks exactly like the pictures below). I got it in UK12 but it is a little loose, I should have gotten it in UK8 or 10. But it is a wonderful piece especially for a formal dinner. The dress looks really out of shape in the photo I took so I’ll leave some pictures from the net just to show you guys how it looks on.









Basic Knit T (Zipia US$13.00)





This is just a plain jumper I bought and I kinda didn’t expect it to be so freaking thick. It is really warm and baggy, it does make me look a little bulky but that is fine because I’m sure it will look really good with some jean shorts. The jumper is only available in one size but it probably will fit a UK14 at most. It is a little loose on me, I’m a UK8/10 but the price is cheap if you’re finding a really thick jumper for the colder weather. The material feels a little hard but I’m hoping the knit to soften after a few washes. 






Striped Lining Ponte Blazer (Forever21 US$16.68)






I bought this on Black Friday, that was how long ago I bought it. It’s original price was US$27 so there was a huge discount. I bought a Small and it fits me perfectly! I have broad shoulders and the Small was a perfect fit for me. The waist area is a little loose but that’s okay since I’m not going to button it up anyways. The blazer is super thick and comfy, the lining is silky smooth and it feels very high quality overall. I LOVE this blazer! A super buy! 

Striped Lining Ponte Blazer was sold out on the day of black Friday. How crazy!

  




BDG Heritage Deck Shoe (Urban outfitters US$19.99)







These shoes are originally US$49.99 so already it was a good bargain. I quite like the ‘boat-shoe’ style, they are really trendy this season. And doesn’t it look really expensive? At least to me it is. I think it looks way more costly than the price and I really like how it looks on me. I got it in a Size 9 (UK6) and it fits quite large on me. It is a little hard and a loose so I suggest sizing a size down. I wore this pair of shoes today and I got so many compliments. My friends told me that it looked way more expensive than the price which is awesome. Highly recommend!






Multi unique Rings (Zipia US$6)





I was looking for rings that has a simple design and not those with huge jewels / precious stones or majorly bling-ed rings. I was browsing Zipia and I chance upon these rings. They fit my criteria perfectly and it looked really nice on the model so I bought it. The set of 4 rings consists of 2 gold and 2 silver rings, they can be worn together or separated. I would say the price is okay and the quality is not bad, but the rings are a bit large on my fingers. They aren’t snug enough for my taste and it does fall out if I shake my hands harshly. So if you have petite fingers, I do not recommend it.






Long hair clips (Strandivarius @IonOrchard SGD$14) 




I got this while shopping with my friends at Ion Orchard. I find them to be a great alternative for boring bobby pins. They are pretty expensive for just hair pins but I do find it difficult to find similar designs anywhere else. I am not sure if they are still available but I got them not too long ago. I’m not sure how to describe where they are placed...they are in those plastic containers in front of the cashier and not at the accessories section.   






Glasses [TR DS037 B] & [NO. 2503 B] (Gmarket KRW12,520 ~ SGD$15)



 DS037



 2503



I really wanted to try out geek glasses because they are such a huge trend now. Gmarket is the place to go for finding such accessories. They have a wide range of glasses, watches, jewellery and their prices are really reasonable. I got myself 2 glasses from the same ‘shop’. DS037 (first pair) fits really nicely but 2503 (second pair) slides down my nose a little. Both designs are really cute and cost around SGD$8 each. The shop owner was really kind to add in a pair of aviators as a gift! How nice! 

Gift







 Infinity Scarf (Warehouse SGD$23.00)






I got this scarf from Warehouse at Vivocity and isn’t it super cute?! The colour is perfect for the autumn and winter seasons. Original price of the scarf was SGD$49 so it was a super bargain! I bought this a few days ago so it should be available at other outlets. Mine was the last piece there so you guys might not want to head there to check. I got this for a coming overseas trip, details will be up soon! Super pumped for it!



 
A/N: I took more than an hour to take these photos so I really hope you guys like it! Follow my blog if you to get more updates on such hauls!
