Weekly reviews & OTDs!OTD - Hollyhoque - Twin Cutout Long Sleeves tee, White
Reviewed this top previously.
- No zip for easy wearing so it can be quite a struggle trying to wear this, have to stretch and get it over your shoulders.
- Fits great anyway once you get the dress down.
- Fully lined but I felt inner lining is on the short side, the dress is rather short too so will not recommend this to the taller girls.
- Other than the above, the cutting is flattering.
- Not sheer.
Review - HerVelvetVase - Jive Denim Bustier, Black Floral (S) and Blue Floral (S)
I love both florals, very pretty! Could not decide which to get during launch so carted out both, decided to keep black floral in the end; will be letting go the blue floral since I have several others of similar tones.
- No inner lining but not sheer.
- Comes with side zip for easy wearing.
- Not padded and no wiring.
- The PTP at chest is slightly loose.
- Overall fit is fine, still fits me with some allowance, comfy fit. I say it'll be loose for uk4.- Slightly stretchy only.
Review - HerVelvetVase - Portrait Skirt, Orange (S)
- Comes with side zip, no elastic band.
- Fully lined, not sheer.
- Not stretchy, not recommended for feasting.
Review - CatWalkClose - Jerzey Racer Dress, Slate (XS)
- I was very confused during launch, contemplating to go for XS or S.
Because CWC states the model is wearing XS and dress is highly stretchy, meant to be worn fitted, I decided to take a bet and follow.
But it was a horror trying to wear this especially when there's no zip for easy wearing lol.
Now I went back to their site, CWC changed their statement to the model wearing Size S with slight allowance. AHHHHH!!! I want to change to Size S!
Size XS fits better for uk4 and Size S should be for uk 6.
If I were to compare the size between CWC's jerzey racer dress (XS) with AE's textured Wave dress (S), I say CWC's Size XS piece is slightly more tiny.
- Fully lined hence not sheer.
- Inner lining is on the short side as well.
- The outer 'lace' layer is very pretty though, absolutely love it.
Anyone has size S wants to trade for my XS? I'm open to slate and white colours :)
Review - CatWalkClose - Katelyn Tube Top, Ivory
Review - LoveBonito - Clemenceau Skirt, Ivory (S)
Reviewed CWC in eggplant before and this is the ivory. I like the ivory cos it's very wearable with any bottoms. Slightly sheer though so nude undergarments advised.
For the LB ivory skirt, Size S is loose for me so I have to support it on my hips. I think this skirt sizing runs bigger. Comes with side zip for easy wearing. The crotchets are really nicely down. Comes with inner lining. Sheerness can be avoided with light coloured clothing/undergarments.
Some random photos from instagram. Bought this bohemian halter dress from John little sales, loving the beaded halter neckline.
Review - LoveBonito - Florence Top, Blue (S)
Review - TheTinselRack - Happy Holidays Skinny Pants, Black (S)
- The colour prints is gorgeous.
- Peplum cutting at bottom, very feminine and flattering cut.
- Not sheer.
- Comes with back zip for easy wearing.
- Waist is not elastic banded.
- Fits great with some allowance, very comfy fit.
TTR Happy Holidays skinny pants is a must get, should at least own one! Very stretchy pants and not sheer.
- Love the versatility of this throwover, can play around with layering. The lime colour trimming at the hem is also very unique.
- Sheer for creme colour.
Feel so guilty for not posting for so long =S especially last weekend, saturday and sunday went out for the whole day and busy with mother's day celebration.
Actually wanted to go check out LRH sales at LRH's office with a buddy today but then in the end cancelled the plan cos both of us have afternoon plans and worry we'll shed blood there hahahaa as in $_$.
If only this event is on saturday!! :(
So.....a long review again today hahaa :X
I think this dress makes a great work dress. Decent looking and I love the ivory colour, looks really classic.
For true colour, only the 1st pic has filter added from Instagram, the rest of the pics are not edited.
Won't recommend it to girls above 1.65m unless you are comfortable with short length.
Sizing wise, fits me with allowance, can fit up to regular uk 8.
Quality - Love it! one of the best dress from LRH. Material is pretty thick, not those flimsy type and it comes with inner lining. Not sheer at all.
10. TheTinselRack - Dandelion Lace Dress, Pure White (S)
11. Megagamie - Vintage Mod Denim Dress, vintage/dark wash?, size S
12. AmberAvenue - Floral Bustier Top, Black (S)
Loving blogshops which come up with personalised plastic bag envelopes to mail out parcels! Means we won't receive torn/ripped parcels by people mishandling the parcels or rainy seasons! I tried to tear these plastic bag envelopes with my bare hands, apparently, I failed to do so, must be me getting weaker hahahaa, gave up and use my scissors to cut it open.

2. LittleRedHeels - Bowie Crop Top, White (S)
HerVelvetVase - Darcy Textured Shorts in Turquoise (S)
Recently crop tops are quite in. I like the clean cut structured look of this top and the gold ring buttons. Actually I prefer the magenta colour but i'm afraid magenta is too loud so I went for white.
Even though it is white colour and not inner lined, I don't think it's sheer, perhaps just slightly sheer only, always advisable to wear nude undergarments. Size S fits me with allowance, able to fit up to a regular uk 8.
HVV - Darcy Textured Shorts, bought both turquoise and black colour during their recent sales. It is meant to be worn high-waisted. Was wondering why this shorts didn't get sold out because I like the cutting from their studio pics. Was looking for more high waisted shorts only recently to match my bralets etc and this is cheap and quality not bad too. Not sheer at all. Size S fits me with some allowance and comfortable when I tuck in my tops. However will not advise a Uk 4 to get this as it'll be loose. Size S should be able to fit up to a regular uk 8.
This reply is from HVV when I am checking the sizing with them -> "Size S would fit a waist 26 to a waist 28 snugly whereas Size M would be suitable for a waist 27 - 29 snugly :)"
3. Intoxiquette - Pleats + Peplum Work Top, Black (S)
Am in need of more formal looking tops for work and this top caught my eye. I like the fitted top and the feminine peplum bottom. Comes with side zip for easy wearing. It is also very versatile, depending on the look you want to achieve, you can play around with choice of belt. For play, you can use ribbon or cute belts hahaa, for work you can use those patent skinny belts. Not sheer at all.
4. Intoxiquette - Topshop-Inspired Floral Bralet
Bralets and more bralets! Love the tropical floral prints. Does not comes with padding. Comes with a back zip. Sizing fits great. Not sheer. Fits only up to a uk8.
5. CatWalkClose - Candace Denim Shirt, Light Denim (S)
This is my 3rd denim shirt:
1. Megagamie - Boyfriend Denim Shirtdress, Vintage Denim (am selling this top)
2. Hollyhoque - 2-Pocket Oversized Denim Shirt - Light Denim
and lastly this. Should capture the colours among the three soon.
I like this top from CWC best as the light denim shade is exactly what I want. HH's light denim is not light enough. The cutting of this top is very nice too and I like the colour of the buttons, giving the top some contrast (Y). Not sheer.
6. Intoxiquette - New Yorker Style Belted Workdress, Deep Navy (S)
No full length mirror so can't capture the full length of the dress, it's somewhere like a few inches above knee cap, but definitely a modest length. I like how simple and classic it look, especially the belt. No inner lining but not sheer as the material is quite thick. Will be loose/big for a uk4. Fits me with some allowance. Sadly the belt is loose, not enough holes as I prefer a perfect/tighter fit. Actually I have already foreseen this problem as from intoxiquette's site, the model is also using the last hole of the belt. Hence while I submit my payment details, I also asked intoxiquette if they have an available hole puncher to help punch a few more holes if possible. Guess what, they just gave me the standard payment verification template email and didn't even bother to reply whether they are able to help punch a few more holes. Even if the answer is no, they cannot help me, I will also appreciate it very much instead of getting a standard template reply.
7. AmberAvenue - Asymmetric Toga Dress in Colour Splash
Super love the colour splash print of this dress, so pretty :)
Size S fits nicely but slightly loose at the toga top (the slant from shoulders to arm pit part). Therefore won't recommend it for uk4. Comes with a black inner lining, dress is not sheer at all. No zip.
8. AmberAvenue - Floral Bustier Dress, Black (S), unreleased
I like this dress the first time I saw it from Pam's instagram. Was delightful when I saw it at KJ's rack so took it and try. However the zip for this piece is so super hard, I cannot zip it up at all, not sure if it is a defective zip :( but the black floral prints is nice. Quality is also good, bust is padded so can skip a bra. Decent length too.
9. TheTinselRack - Must be Love Scoopneck Skater Dress, Royal Purple (S)
Think this is extra from BO, been eyeing it for a long time but didn't get it because the measurements given are so short at like 30-31". Usually the shortest I go for is 31", anything below 31" I'll have to skip it =S
Went to try it on and it's not as short as I have expected! So surprising, and I bought a piece of this. I went home and measured, the length is 32", is BO piece longer? Another dress for work hahaa.
Anyway the fit is great, no inner lining and not sheer at all. No zip.
I like the black colour trimmings for this dress. However Size S is loose for me. I also find the dress kinda sheer :S Nude undergarments is a must.
Saw the light denim wash and this wash on the rack, the light denim comes with yellow belt and this wash comes with red belt. I don't know if this is MGG's vintage or dark wash though. Size S fits with allowance. Belt does not have enough holes so it's loose fit. The length is also decent. I think it's about 32.5 - 33" again. Would prefer it to be slightly shorter hahaa. No inner lining but not sheer. Comes with full functional buttons in front.
This top didn't caught my eye when AA launched it online. I have to say it looks much much prettier in real life. Comes with side zip for easy wearing. Bust is padded. Not sheer at all. Size S fits with allowance and very comfy.
Wow I've spent like 2-3 hours here, gotta go rest awhile and watch some dramas, then upload some to BOS, been MIA for 3 weeks :(
Forgot to include I'm letting go TheVelvetDolls' SpringFling Bralet in Light denim, Size S, brand new in bag, anyone hunting for it can drop me a mail thanks!
