Mass reviews
Updating some of the reviews!

1. Catwalkclose - Avery Blazer, Midnight blue (XS)

- Absolutely love the cutting of this blazer especially the slight puff sleeves.
- Prefer to roll up my sleeves.
- Comes with satin lining and 2 pockets which is a plus point.
- thickness is relatively thin and lightwight.
- Midnight blue is deep navy.
- XS fits great.

2. TheClosetLover - 9 buttons highwaist skirt, Mustard (S)


- There is only mustard in (S) and sky blue (M) on TCL rack at First day so I took mustard to try.
- Size S fits me great.
- Definitely a worthy staple skirt.
- Comes with silver buttons and side zip.
- Not sheer.

3. LoveBonito - Haines Dress, Orange (XS)

- Love this dress for it's simplicity, great for your 'don't know what to wear day'
- XS's length was 31.5" stated on site however when worn, it does not feel like it's 31.5", I feel it's like 32.5" instead :/
- I have no idea why the models are wearing Size S because XS fits with much allowance for me.
- Fully lined hence not sheer.
- Comes with half back zip.


4. TheClosetLover - Springfield Printed Top
- Love the tribal stripes print.
- Think it look better with shorts!
- Comfy and not lined, not sheer though.

5. TheClosetLover - Floral Printed Buttoned Back Top
- I was expecting a thicker material but nope, it's about the same material as the springfield printed top.
- Large armhole, didn't expect it too
- Other than that, not much issue, not lined and not sheer.

6. TheClosetLover - 9 Button highwaist skirt, sky blue (S)

- As reviewed on top on the mustard piece.

7. TheClosetLover - Triple Straps Ditsy Top, Slate Blue (XS) & Cream (M)

- Finally the tops reached me, like at last after almost a month!
- Had opted for registered postage but TCL mailed it out via AM Mail, I suppose they hope I can get the tops the next day. But no, after one whole week I didn't receive my tops, or I didn't even know they mailed my tops out via AM mail until I emailed them when I'm puzzled why the delivery is taking so long for registered mail(all other parcels have reached me). They told me they mailed it via AM mail and it's a next day delivery but no, a week past and it's not even in my mailbox. Even until today. So I don't know where the parcel went =O Singpost screw up again? lol. Nevermind, since TCL decided to resend me the tops via registered mail again this time and yes I finally get it recently -.- However I almost vomit blood cos my orders were Slate blue and Cream (both XS) but the cream came in Size M!! like omg imaging after waiting 1 month and the orders came in wrong size. But looking at the bright side, it's good that it came in Size M. I'll explain why later.

- Slate Blue (XS): I really love the blue colour and how the gold buttons stands out. Everything was perfect, the top comes with full inner lining and not sheer, definitely a great top. BUT I CAN'T FIT IN!! dam sad was so looking forward to wearing the top out. Previously I wore their Gossip Girl Ruffles top in Size XS, and I have no problem with the fit but this, definitely need a size up. The Triple Straps Ditsy Top (XS) is snug at bust and I have trouble getting the other arm out of the armhole so it's impossible for me to wear it.

- Cream (M): Love the cream colour and the gold buttons too. However the gold buttons stands out more in the slate blue piece. As you can see from the pictures, Size M is definitely too big for me, that the extra cloth at the back where the straps are are protruding. In conclusion I need a Size S.

Well that is why at least looking at the bright side, I didn't receive the Cream and Blue in both Size XS because I can get 'refund' credits for the Cream (M) piece and now I only need to get rid of the slate blue piece =(
The slate blue piece is still BNIB and no defects. If interested please email me at fiorella.rain@gmail.com thanks!




LittleRedHeels - Kimono Blake Romper, Floral (S)

It's late now, had several reviews to share like TCL's 9 buttons highwaist skirt in skyblue/mustard and CatWalkClose's Avery Blazer in Midnight blue etc, but i'll do LittleRedHeels' Kimono Blake Romper in Floral first today, continue the rest on next post.


LittleRedHeels - Kimono Blake Romper, Floral (S)
Seems like LRH changed the packaging to this plastic 'envelope'! Super cute looking I love it! I suppose this change is awesome because it means lesser chance of our parcel getting torn or damaged by rain during delivery, yes/no?
Below picture is taken under normal lightings, not edited at all via instagram:

This is really Japanese looking. I swear this romper is one hard piece to carry off without looking like a pyjamas or Sauna robe. The only thing I like is the unique design/look it gives off.
Size S fits perfectly. Small uk8 might consider size M for comfort. There is no elastic band hence not stretchable. I will definitely not recommend wearing this for a feast! Comes with a back zip. The only con for this romper is that the front V-flaps are not sewn together and yes from the side view one can see almost everything, unless you're very careful with your movements. I'm considering getting a tailor to sew a hidden button at the flap so I don't have to worry about my movements gee. Not sheer at all.



Farewell

One day before 2 of my cousins went for overseas exchange, we had a dinner gathering at Chijmes' Lei Garden together with their parents. The initial plan was actually just us, a gathering for solely the youngsters, simple dinner then drinking session. But we just could not find the time to match everyone's schedule thus we have to eat with the family and drop the drinking session hahaa.
Seldom go to Chijmes, this is my second time there and I like the place. Should go there more often and explore.

Alright, I don't know the name of the below dish, it's some chicken soup in a huge melon, I think perhaps it's a winter melon? The taste is awesome!
The below dish, is not a duck, it is a roasted pigeon. Yes pigeon. like yikes right, you see them so often outdoors and now they are there - roasted, on your plate. Apparently the waitress recommended it and that the restaurant does not serve this dish often - only once in awhile when there are stocks. She said we were lucky to try it. It pretty much taste like duck meat though, kinda yummy.
The Peking duck
Brocolli, scallops and toufu cooked with oyster sauce
Some super green veges, super soft and tender I like.
Last dish below, I don't know the name but it's a plate of mix potatos, duck meat etc. The dish came with a plate of nicely peeled large leafy cabbages. I suppose we have to wrap the potatos and duck meat mixture with the cabbage and eat it together, pretty korean style? Very nice texture.

Sis & me
OTD in MissyPixie's FAY CREAM sheer knitted throwover.
After a sumptuous dinner, we decided to separate ways from my cousin's parents. The parents went home first since they have to wake up early tomorrow. Whereas for us, we decided to take a stroll at town and chat. It's a rare opportunity for us to gather like this since they were always out of town. Gonna wait till national day when they fly back QQ.
Love the bottom shot, my favourite hahaa.

Can't wait to travel soon!



Reviews
Some reviews!

1. Smooch - Parachute Dress in Mint/Silver


- One-shoulder Tie-string detail
- Refreshing colours.
- Fully lined but nude undergarments still recommended.
- Won't recommend for ladies above 1.63m if you are uncomfortable with short length.

2. Smooch - Tori Dress, Mint (S)

True colour:

- I love the slits at the shoulders and the cut-out low back details.
- Fully lined.
- Fits great & comes with only a zip at the front.
- Elastic banded at waist.
The only con I dislike about this dress is that the dress (from hips down) keeps shifting to one side while I'm walking, because of my bag's abrasion I guess, hence I have to adjust it occasionally.
Mint colour is also duller in real life.

3. LoveBonito - Crosse Knit Top, Cream
True colour:

- Initially I was regretting very much for carting out cream colour because I already have a couple of other cream knitted tops.
- But it didn't turn out too bad because I can still wear the top one-off shoulders without it dropping too low. Some knitted tops comes with such a wide neckline that I can never wear it one-off shoulders comfortably.
- Sheer, inner piece recommended.

4. AmberAvenue - Warm My Heart Toga Top, Navy Blue (S)

True colour:

- Totally love the thick floral crotchet lace trimming for the neckline and cuff.
- Arm part is made of sheer chiffon for the peekaboo effect.
- Body is double lined hence not sheer at all.
- Fits great.
- No elastic band or zip.

5. OhVola - Davonte Colour Block Top, Emerald Green

True colour:
True Colour:
- Great top for casual day out.
- Comes with side zip for easy wearing.
- No lining, but the back is cream colour hence light undergarment recommended.
