Weekly dose of reviews & OTDs coming up!
1.
Top: LoveBonito - Basics Taffie top, Fuschia (S)
Bottom: TheDesignClosets - Polkadot High Waist Skirt, White (S)
Top: Sizing fits comfortably. Abit loose at shoulders. Was hesitating between XS and S but most colours for Size XS were OOS, so decided to try S.
Not sheer for Fuschia, love the colour, it's a dark hot pink shade.
Slightly puff sleeves. I think I prefer this LB top over AE's 3/4 sleeves basic top.
Bottom: For the polkadot lovers! Decided to get it in white as black seems more common and for green, have to spend more effect in matching the tops.
This white isn't pure white. I feel it's more of ivory shade.
Comes with inner lining. Slightly sheer, nude undergarments would do the trick. I tucked in the LB taffie top in fuschia and you can't really see the top underneath the skirt. Compared to the LB Clemenceau skirt in white below which I find it rather sheer after wearing it out ;(
Sizing fits great for me; side zip for easy wearing.
Waist is pleated and does not come with any elastic band.
Top - LoveBonito (I can't find the name from site anymore, forgotten the name as well hahaa)
Bottom - LoveBonito - Clemenceau Skirt, White (S)
Reviewed the skirt previously. Wore it out and find that Size S is pretty loose for me, was hanging on my hips and have to use a belt to hold it, a belt would do the trick so no worries. The sizing of this skirt is slightly bigger than usual so don't size up. White is rather sheer, my mom say it's quite transparent as well. If only LB use a thicker lining :(

Top - Triselle - Cotton Pussybow Blouse, Black
Bottom - HerVelvetVase - Tijon Leather Skirt in Dusk, (S)
Top: Love pussybows, very feminine. Love the combi with HVV's leather skirt for work :3
Fits great, top is loose fit, not figure hugging.
No inner lining and not sheer for black.
Functional buttons in front and no zip.
Requires ironing though.
Bottom: Find the dusk colour most unique among all the colours.
It is a shade of grey-muddy brown mix hehe.
Comes with side zip for easy wearing, no elastic band.
Not stretchy.
Sizing fits great and comfortable.
Inner lined hence not sheer at all.
4. HerVelvetVase - Haute Tweed Dress in Greige Blue, XS
Am pleasantly surprised with the quality of this dress. Thick and definitely worth the penny.
V. slightly stretchy only.
Fully lined and not sheer at all.
Comes with a back zip for easy wearing.
The tweed comes with glitters, slightly shimmery but not overwhelming at all.
Sizing fits great, slightly fitting at top but still acceptable.
Initially only decided to get midnight blue. Was tempted with the white but I was unsure if it will be sheer. dam funny cos after I carted out midnight blue, suddenly got this surge of temptation to get white, cos the sheerness doesn't look obvious from the website's pictures. Quickly emailed HH to see if I can add in one more white piece under same order ID without carting out for another order ID to be couriered and they say ok, just have to top up the $15.50, cheers for HH :)
Anyway, yeah the white still turns out rather sheer T_T but I love the cutting. perhaps I shall experience with nude undergarment or seamless ones to see if it looks better.
Anyway for the midnight blue, it's not sheer at all. Top is not low cut, quite stretchy.
6. TheClosetLover - Twilight Maxi
- Length wise fits perfectly. No alteration required. Longest length ends around my ankle bone.
- No inner lining/side zip/elastic band. Just a black cotton maxi to throw and go.
- Loose fit. Does not comes with any sash or belt. I find it better looking when worn fitted at waist with a skinny belt.
- Not sheer.
Side track a little.
Went to The WildFlower Shop's showroom at Ubi for a shoot and also to shop the sales yesterday hehe. They sell almost everything! From clothings to accessories like rings, earrings, sunglasses, bags, sandals, pretty heels and even boots. Love the boots but I won't really wear it in Singapore unless for functions :( would definitely get it if I'm going to overseas! They are having clearance sales at their showroom now until 29th June 2012. Bought home several items in the end ahh.
My make up for the day. Bloody Red lipsticks and if I had yellowish amber contact lenses too, gonna look so vampire-ish hahaa. Sometimes I wonder how much make up the girls would put for photoshoot, the studio lights are so powerful it can make you appear like you have no make up at all.
Ok back to reviews hahaa.
7. TheWildFlowerShop - Romance Babydoll Top, Pink
Couldn't resist buying this even though I find it ex for a piece of chiffon hahaa.
Changed and wore it out immediately after reaching home yesterday for the night.
I think pink was sold out from the site first but it got restocked again recently.
This top is sheer and meant to be layered with an inner tube.
Tube is not provided.
No zip/elastic band. To throw over and go.
Definitely love the babydoll cut.
8. Triselle - Leopard Cuff Jeggings, Navy (M)
Thinking back, I don't wear jeans at all lol. Only wear Jeggings etc. It's either tight fit or loose fit trousers, no loose fit jeans.
I love jeggings so much because it's thicker than leggings, yet comfortable.
This pair of jeggings is more unique because you can roll up the bottom hem which comes with leopard printed cuff.
If I don't feel like showing the leopard printed cuff, I can just roll the cuff back down. so it'll just look like a normal piece of solid colour jeggings. Only the bottom hem is leopard printed and you can roll it up once.
Sizing fits great with not much allowance.
Material is stretchy though.
Elastic banded at waist, no zip.
Navy is dark navy, looks abit like black.
Not of denim material. I am not sure of the material but it feels similar to TheTinselRack's happy holiday skinny pants if you own one.
