All pictures are properties of jasyca.blogspot.com unless otherwise stated

The long awaited post which many have been asking me to review on the quality of this really feminine & doll-like clothes from Fen Hong Da Bu Wawa. 

It's my first time buying from Tao Bao & Fen Hong Da Bu Wawa. I didn't go through any of the agents found online. Lucky for me, my sister's friend is an agent & she has help a group of us to get our items. I received my items in approx 2 weeks or shorter.

INTRODUCTION:

Fen Hong Da Bu Wawa is a label from China, Shanghai. And it's impossible to buy directly from their website unless you have a bank account in China. The same apply to buying from Tao Bao. 

Price range is comparable to retail prices, however some of the items are cheaper than blogshop clothes.

Quality is really good especially for the dress which I've bought and they all come in sizes. Their items usually received good reviews from their customers. :)

Items are identical to the pictures provided online. I took Sz M for all my purchases & it fits me nicely. Please note that alot of the ladies have reviewed that they weren't able to fill in the bust area for their size. So there's a possibility for alteration if you are not well endowed.

ITEM 1:

Featuring puff mesh sleeves, side zip and attached corsage. Top is not stretchable & workmanship is really good. Bought this at around S$25. Item is really sweet!

* I have a hard time capturing the pink colour. :( But the colour is closest to the first picture below. 

ITEM 2:

Made of Spandex cotton & material is really smooth and stretchable! It does not fur easily. Bought it at S$20 which is a great buy! Best matched with black bottoms (unless you want to look like a french maid :D). Size M fits me comfortably.

ITEM 3:

This piece is really awesome! A beautiful Blue/White Peplum Work Dress. The blue layer is a mesh & it looks so feminine! Comes with hidden back zip & length is very suitable for work. The bottom white is non-sheer as there's an attached satin lining. Took Size M & it fits me like a tailored dress. This piece costs me about S$52.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchases & will buy from them again. The designs are so sweet & feminine although some are too princess-like. 

If you are keen to try the service of this agent who've purchased the items for my family & me, do let me know and I'll let you know her contacts. 

* S$1 = RMB 5. Prices stated varies on exchange rate provided by your agent.  

Aye Aye, Captain!

Was feeling more than happy when I finally alighted from the cruise. Couldn't believe I survived a 3D2N Cruise Trip to Redang Island Resort, doing absolutely NOTHING but eating...



It was my first time cruising with Star Cruise Virgo. There was a promotion which Virgo cruises for free with at least 1 paying adult. We upgraded our room to Balcony Class & it only costs around S$1500 for 4 pax.



So thankful that we upgraded our rooms, we skipped the long queue to board & alight from the cruise!

Welcome to our room - 9566! Sounded very much like the taiwanese group name, 5566. An easier way for us to remember our room number.







And this is how the walkway looks like just outside the rooms. Heading out to get our first meal onboard - first round of dinner at 5-6pm.





I know things onboard are exorbitant but $9.55 for a glass of juice is ridiculous! It is worth 2 set of McDonald EVM! Thank goodness we have S$100 free credit to spend on food, otherwise who will actually spend so much on fruit juice?



Went for a stroll at the upper deck & check out Reflections, the condominium with an awesome sea view! Putting that on my motivation list..haha! But Mr A said that I will never get to afford it, oh well..don't stress the guy. I am fine with any houses but i want a happy home to return to at the end of the day!



I can't swim! Boohoo! Only get to gym onboard. Running on the track mill and looking out at the empty sea. Nothing else but water & more water.....



The golden horses at the stairway infront of the reception, which Daddy loves very much..cos it's gold in colour. And the statues which Mummy asked who they are. Ermmm???



2nd round of dinner at 8pm before catching a musical performance "Somewhere in Time". Featuring Canadian Idol Finalists, Martha Joy. She has such powerful, powerful voice! The sound systems onboard wasn't good enough to support it though or maybe it's the enclosed area at The Lido.



Day 2 feasting:

Buffet breakfast around 10am & 2 hours later we have lunch. :( Non-stop Eating!





Thank goodness we get to alight from the cruise at 2pm as we get to travel to Redang Island Resort! Time to burn the fats & energy!

Mini boats (not so mini actually) to transport us to the island.



Such beautiful resort with clear blue water! But it was scorching hot & the sunlight hurts my eyes. I was ill prepared for my trip to Redang. :(

It's a resort with really beautiful beach, you may wish to check out Redang Resort for your next summer getaway!











Spot Star Cruise Virgo! So tiny from far! :)

The awesome dancers from Somewhere in Time! Bravo, Bravo! And we were all hiding away from the sun, enjoying FOOD (again!!) under the hut.





Returned to the ship, rested awhile at the balcony, snacking away... :(



And followed by DINNER! :( Just can't stop eating! Then we headed down to The LIDO for a magic show - MIRAGE by Europe's top illusionist, Vincent Vignaud.



The LIDO was fully packed on 2nd night. In fact, there are still alot of people standing behind us at the upper deck. The upper deck is for Balcony & Suite Class passengers. Can't even moved my rotating chair with everyone behind us.



There was a topless show that night, Nikita which passengers have to pay a small fee to watch. I thought it was rather embarrassing to announce it when there are still kids around.



Overjoyed when Day 3 finally arrived! 2 rounds of breakfast! But by then, i have decided to stop eating.

Was feeling more than happy when I finally alighted from the cruise. Couldn't believe I survived a 3D2N Cruise Trip to Redung Resort Island, doing absolutely NOTHING but eating...

Chic Kiss Love - Fashion Uprising

All pictures are properties of jasyca.blogspot.com unless otherwise stated

Attended Chic Kiss Love event at Zouk on Sunday with my bestie. All thanks to Foggiare for giving us such a good opportunity.  :)



There wasn't anything awesome about the goodie bags except for the $120 vouchers (S$10 vouchers for each blogshop) to be used during the event only.



The prices of the unreleased items were so affordable after using the vouchers! It was such a good buy! :)

There was a catwalk show at 3.30pm but I left right after I visited Kristine, Hollyhoque & Foggiare. :)

I was utterly shocked when Kristine recalled my name. Talking about good customer service, eh? Having a huge customer base & addressing them by name. Awesome!

And what I've purchased during the event:

Foggiare - (Unreleased) Floral Denim Shorts (Sz M) + Scallop Button Top (White)



The moment I saw this unreleased high waisted floral denim shorts at the mannequin infront of Foggiare's store at Square 2, I fell in love with it.

The pastel prints are so lovely & dainty! Material is slightly stretchy and Size M fits me nicely overall. There's no unsightly V shape seen! :D

There are also vertical pop up panels/lines, most probably as a design otherwise the shorts would have look plain & normal. If you have cropped plain top/bralet, I think it will look good with this shorts!

It comes in 2 prints and Sizes S to L. Featuring side zip, belt loops and non-functional pockets at back. Really love the prints! :D



And of course a lovely scallop top to match my awesome denim shorts!




As seen above, I preferred to wear the top untucked & tied the hem into a ribbon when paired with my floral shorts.



Featuring pretty peterpan collar with crochet details, something different & unique from the other peterpan collar tops which we have seen, and a row of functional buttons for easy wearing.

A perfect match of scallop cuts & floral prints! Simply irresistible!

Hollyhoque - (Unreleased) Mesh Toga Dress



This mesh toga dress caught my eyes which was worn by Joyce (She was wearing navy) when I watched the HH video for CKL event.

Review:

I thought white looks lovely but when I tried both white & black, white doesn't really stand out. Black, on the other hand, looks very elegant.

Telling from the piece on the rack for trying, the mesh will not last long. It lose its elasticity and was out of shape. Please note that the ends of the mesh are raw cuts, my piece have scissors jagged edges.

It was sold at S$27 but after using the vouchers, I paid only S$17! Woohoo! :) Still Worth it!

Picture was edited to show ruches details & m-shaped bust

Features: 
It's Free Size and comes in White, Black & Navy. Featuring elastic band at back with no zip. M-shaped bust with anti-slip, covered by mesh which was supported by non-adjustable double straps.
Ruches at waist area.

Length is slightly above my knee, probably 32.5"-33" in length.

That's all folks! Will blog about my cruise trip later! :)

Pretty Clothes Which Makes Me Happy

All pictures are properties of jasyca.blogspot.com unless otherwise stated

Attended Mr A's ex-colleague's Baby Shower at Tampines last saturday. Took us more than an hour travelling by bus from West to East. Couldn't get any worst when we missed the bus stop of Eunos MRT Station! The bus stop seems so far from the station itself, barely can see the station while in the bus! Boohoo! :(

My outfit to the event in TVD's Abstract Tulip Lantern Dress (Lavender)






Really love this dress very much! The prints & the lovely colour complimented my fair skin & it stands out from the crowd. Basically you can spot me from far as it's so cheery & different from what people usually wear.

However, I am not liking the cut especially at ptp. It's loose and the arm hole is too wide you can literally see my bra cup. :( I was so self conscious & have to constantly adjust my dress. Other than that, the length and fit at waist is really good on me. Overall, still worth keeping this BEAU-A-TIFUL number!

P/S: I ♥ my matching light blue heels! :)

And highlight of that day was actually my FOGGIARE Miu Miu Inspired Quilted Kisslock Clutch!

Self collected it at Square 2 after the Baby Shower. :)

Just when I needed a clutch, I also have a sling bag & a hang bag.







I like it how this Foggiare bag comes with 2 different detachable straps, whether for work, dates or even attending functions I can always count on it. Bag like this is so versatile it makes matching so much easier!

Nicely quilted genuine calf leather and really pretty clasps which looks like gemstones. I love that it comes with studs at the base for support.





Featuring 2 side pockets and 2 zip compartments on the other side.



Although the bag looks big, the base is rather small thus not able to fit A4. However, it can still hold my essentials; wallet, tissue packets, iphone, mp3 (yes, i'm still using a mp3 player :D), keys & other smaller items.

Lesser items in a bag, lighter it is and easier to carry while walking around with it. :) Another amazing item to add into my bag collection! Woohoo!

Doesn't pretty items just makes you happier? Till next time!

And what I've bought this lately (Pictures credit to respective blogshops):

CWC: Cassa Peplum Dress (Magenta) (Sz M)
I've so many peplum design items I feel that I'm wearing similar clothes almost everyday. Initially I was worried that the dress will be too short for work, but I was surprised that the length is satisfactorily acceptable. Material is thick too! So worth it!

SELLING @ S$26.50 MAILED. BRAND NEW WITH TAG.
INTERESTED PARTIES TO EMAIL OR LEAVE A COMMENT.



SWV: Garden of Whimsy Straw Bag
So disappointed with this purchase. It looks cheap & fragile! $30 over for this is such a cut throat price! arrrghh! Don't even need to mention about the workmanship.



TVD: Meadow Vale Floral Bustier (Blue & Pink) (Sz M)
It's just another common bustier with shorter length. The fit & measurement is once again different for both pieces, almost died in the Pink piece at ptp.



Ohvola: Ditsy Polka Top (Navy) (Sz M) + BO Florent Denim Bustier (White) (Sz M)
Yet another common bustier with functional buttons in longer length. Ohvola is really thoughtful to include another clasp in between the first & second button. At least there's no need for safety pin or worry about perverts peeking inside our clothes.



Foggiare: Miu Miu Inspired Quilted Kisslock Clutch

See above for my review.



HVV: London Times Pleat Skirt (Posy Red) (Sz M)
Honestly, HVV improves alot on the quality of their clothes & pictures. Although the measurements for this piece seems kinda weird. From Sz S (12.5") to Sz M (14") & I am a 13.5" at waist. Sz M is slightly loose. Mad love the pleated skirt which doesn't emphasize my huge hips. Length wise is perfect! Comes with inner lining. :)
