Lucky August Babe

HEAVY IMAGE POST

If your birthday falls in August, I'm here wishing you a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I have a great week & a good start to August! *beaming* Thanx be to God! =D

• Counting down to my birthday on 27 Aug
• Bought my first pink personal camera. I call her Porky! haha!
• Finally made a new pair of spectacles in grey. The side can be detached. How cool is that?!
• Received so many online loots & buying so much everyday (for this week)
• Won Yventually's Balenciaga inspired clutch
• Ettusais cordially invited August bday babes for a 2-hour birthday party session
• Receive 1 off in lieu because PH falls on rest day
• Cousin Julie & Aunt are in town to shop and prepare for Julie's wedding in September at Sabah, Kota Kinabalu (cant wait to go to KK with Mr Bf)
• Was 5 mins late to shoes mass meet up (seller refused to wait for me) but on a brighter side, I met up with my online shopping buddy to Agneselle's meet up session & we took photo with Agnes & PL ♥

Yes, I am delighted to announce that i am the winner for Yventually's self manufactured Balenciaga clutch.

I took part in the Balenciaga poll and voted for violet and milky pink. However, i've decided to take black for my winning clutch.



This clutch is really spacious with 2 compartments. I can put my fossil thick wallet, 2 pack of tissue papers, camera, some make up essentials, handphone, mirror, oil blotter & still the clutch looks in shape.



There's also a top compartments & of course their label.



I love my winning clutch because it's so handy! Material is good too. Now i am thinking whether should i buy one from her..hmm..Even my online shopping buddy cant resist it after i brought it out today.

* Note: I did not bride/threaten/offer any service in blogging/doing review for Yventually just to be a winner (vice versa). I am not associated with Yventually. I blog about it cos i blog about my online loots.

And what i wore today to run my errands - Lolliepopbestie's Military Frock in Navy Blue. Paired it with wedges & balenciaga clutch. "sorry about my zz face. it was 8 plus in the morning!"

Lastly, what i've bought this week (picture credit to respective blogshops):

Bonitochico (Rach) - Printed Chiffon Mini & Embroidered Frock in Navy

Chiffon mini is a sell out piece under rach's collections. After launching so many different colours & prints, I have decided to get hold of this print. I love the vibrant colours and the different ways to match it with. I love my buys as the quality is good. Embroidered frock is so awesome for casual days!

Bonitochico (Vel) - Mesh Ballerina Skirt (Pink) SOLD , Lace Sleeve Blouse (Black) & Tiered Chiffon Blouse (Pink)

I had one tiered chiffon blouse & so loving it! Dont you think the mesh ballerina skirt looks oh-so-cute?

The material for the lace sleeve blouse is rather thin. The top looks small but it can stretch. As for the ballerina skirt, the band at waist is not very tight & length is appropriate for work. Both items do not have BC tag but it comes with those material & laundry label near the hem. Hmmm..

For Sale: Mesh Ballerina Skirt (Pink) @ S$22.50 mailed
Condition: Washed but unworn



Agneselle - Pleated chiffon dress in Blackberry

I love Purple dress! Dont you think it looks simple yet so elegant?
The cutting & fit is just nice on me. Some fellow cotters mentioned that the ptp was tight on them, but lucky for me there are still allowance. The dress is perfect! I'm wearing this to my cousin's church wedding in September! I stand at 166cm, Uk8/10.




Hollyhoque - Pleat Front Crochet Lace Tiered Dress in Daffodil Yellow, Rosette Corset Polka Dot Toga Dress in White & Colour Block Knit Tunic in Sky Blue/Grey SOLD

Bloody hell love this HH collection. Brings you from dinner dates to casual outings. Love the Tiered dress in yellow! ♥ ♥

I am selling Rosette Corset Polka Dot Toga dress in White. Do leave me a comment with your email & i will get back to you. Comments with email will not be published. SOLD



For those who are interested in her nude wedges, I bought a similar one from heatwave earlier this year. Go check it out, that's if it's still available.

Well, dont you think this week launches are so damn good? I couldnt resist it! I have to curb my spending & i know i am not helping myself. I will prove it that i can control! =)

Anyway, Happy Birthday, Singapore!

Review on Yventually - Ribbon Clogs in pink

When i first saw Yvetually selling this Ribbon clogs, i fell for it immediately. Collected it from her today and it came in a big box. The shoes are also properly wrapped up in plastic bags.



It's comfortable, materials used and workmanship are good. Pink is true to 2nd picture and shoes are stable to walk in.

Without flash. Under normal lighting

Heels height is just nice at 3". And most importantly, the sole has those deep lines that prevent slipping.I dislike shoe soles which are smooth, and dont think any shoes are worth it when the sole does not have anti-slipping lines/cuts.



Unable to capture the deep lines on the sole.



I follow my C&K sizes and it fits well. Still contemplating whether to get the cream now as it's worth S$24. Stocks are still available at Yvetually, check with her if you are interested!

Look what i found. A creative way to reuse your poker card =):

Evolution of Online shopping

I am glad that there's something coming up in Singapore's Business IT industry. I like Ecommerce but Singapore market is too small and brick and mortar shops do not have website that supports e-basket, unlike US or UK.



I was introduced to online shopping in Nov-Dec 2008 after i came across my friend's blog which shows a dress she has bought. Honestly, once you've started buying you will soon be addicted to buying online, many live examples around. 

As time passed by, blogshop owners became well-to-do and popular, and they upgrade their blogshops to websites with ebasket. To name a few, hervelvetvase and hollyhoque.

And now, soon to be launched Asia-Pacific Online Shopping Mall - Jipaban. The all time favourite, Bonitochico will be launching some exclusive clothes there (means no BO).

I wonder what is so special about Jipaban and what will Singapore's evolution of ecommerce going to be like in a few years time? I wish i will be the first few to know...

As usual, I end my post with what i've bought this week:

Got instocks for the following:

Indulgescenes - First time buying from them. Bought Floral Ruffle Top for just S$18 mailed! It was initially sold at S$23.50 mailed for members only but few days later they had a members sale ! =) The fabric is good, design and prints worth my S$18. But i had to meet the owner yesterday to collect it as she sent me a wrong item. Features tie back and drawstring at waist:





Agneselle - Got this bustier dress in pink by impulse. I am a uk8-10 and this dress is super loose on me, it can fit a big uk10 for sure. Bust area is neither tight nor low cut as compared to the popular grecian dresses. The straps are real long, i dont think it has anything to do with my shoulders. So ladies who have small frame or wears UK8 and below...please dont get this dress unless you dont mind altering.

Other than that, the material is good and it looks pretty! Non sheer but seamless undies advisable.




Foggiare - English Rose Dress in grey. It was once available in nude, wanted to get it but decided not to. So i cant miss this dress again. Causal & sweet! Stocks still available in grey & black.

Material is soft, comfortable and slightly stretchy. Good for causal days and the hot weather in Singapore. Velvet tie back so that one wont look preggy in it.



Look at their self-designed envelope. So unique & there's a 5% coupon too! I wish i can help some interested blogshops to design unique envelope. If only my friends own blogshops..




Lastly, Ribbon Clogs in PINK from Yventually.  She's selling the cream but may open pre-order for pink. I was lucky that the supplier has the pink in my size. =) Pretty!




The only BO i joined this week belongs to Bonitochico. I joined a total of 11 BOs and none of it are here yet! So frustrating especially on Hollyhoque. Waited for 2 months and the vintage lace sleeved top hasnt arrive!

Knit Off-shoulder top in Pink & Acid wash tulip skirt! It must be lovely~ ♥



Taking my Off in Lieu on 12 May with Mr bf & Mag. =) Gonna spend quality time with my loved ones! ♥♥♥
