Work & Play by Willoway

We totally love the name they picked for themselves. Willoway introduced themselves just a few days ago and we checked out what they had to offer to all the girls in Malaysia.

We noticed that there's a mix of both vintage and trendy outfits and being new in this line, they certainly hit the right sense of stlye in the fashion scene and we couldn't contain our excitement to share with you what we found, like a few little girls finding a few pieces of treasure by the shore.

willoway-1

This is a rather unique piece of chiffon top to wear. Stylish if it were to match with a high waisted skirt of pants, totally suitable for work and extremely comfortable looking as it looks real breezy! Definitely our pick for work!

willoway-2

Magnificient! We love how this dress portrays quirky and fun while keeping you stylish and trendy. Always the best to wear on a Bad Body Day. When you feel like crap in the morning where parts of your body doesnt seem the way they were the day before, it is always good to have this in your wardrobe so to hide all the uneccesary bulge from being bloated in the morning or during.. you know.. that time of the month.

willoway-3

By far our favourite piece from Willoway. We love how it flares out on the shoulders. That little ribbon is just one of the most gorgeous detail on the dress and boy, we've always loved the colour combinaton of pink and grey and not to mention that this dress has got the cut to show off those lovely curves of the body. So fun to wear this on a date! Bet he will love it too!

A Little Inspired by Alice in Wonderland!

We got inspired with all the magic in Alice in Wonderland that we had to do a mix and match of this from Polyvore.

We love this!!

Feelin The Blues?

How was your holiday, Republikans?

We had a blast during Chinese New Year (although we weren't too lucky with card games such as "21" and "In Between") and surprisingly, we managed to celebrate Valentine's Day too!

We stumbled across this quiet little spanish restaurant called Sentidos Tapas at Starhill Gallery while walking around Bintang Walk, and thought to give it a try as the restaurant was not packed at all compared to the other restaurants that we walked by. We ordered their Valentine's Day Platter to share which cost us RM70/set. The set consisted of 4 delicious grilled Tiger Prawn bites, a piece of Chicken thigh, a slice of mango-infused Fish and a small serving of scallop. The overall taste was just slightly above average when compared to other fine dining restaurants, but the grilled chicken leg had to be one of the best pieces of chicken we've ever tasted!

So, Tong Tong Chiangs and Gong Xi Nis are now over and once again we are back to the usual working Monday. We're feeling the blues today and that's why we arranged a little something to perk up our day with and we would like to share it with you just in case you feel the same too! Check out this funky collage!

Hope that this will cheer up your Monday! We love that little car clutch!

Reptilian Influence

We were recently introduced to the interestingly named Swagdolls, so we took a peek into their site, and we what they had to offer, from soul vintage dresses to highly-irresistible reptilian clutches. Unlike most of the other online boutiques, we've got to say that Swagdolls does stand out with their unusual range of fashionable items, which is a definite plus for us!

Swagdolls

We like their very colourful and fresh-looking fashion wear, which caters more for chic and trendy college goers, as well as sophisticated young working adults. Girls like us could definitely use a tip or two from them on how to stand out!

We spotted a whole put-together outfit from their collection that we thought was cool enough to be shared with all of you.

Swagdolls-4

We adore this vintage brown sleeveless dress, which goes extremely well with that brown thick belt. Although the whole match was more or less of the same colour, which can be a boring thing, it really doesn't seem boring at all!

Swagdolls-2

Oh, we really don't know how we could have missed these gorgeous bangles. Pleated with Mithril-like metal, these bangles comes in 3 different, versatile colours. Pop two of them on your wrists with just about any outfit of the day and you're definitely ready to hit the streets looking glamorous.

Swagdolls-1

Is there anything more beautiful than this? We had this unique reptilian clutch in mind when we were wondering what would be a perfect way to complete the outfit. Usually when we head out to the malls or any normal retail boutiques, reptilian clutches are almost always of the same colours and designs - Plain and safe. However, this one made our heart skip a beat as we were taking in just how exotic it looked.

The Perfect Valentine's Day Gift

What is love?
"Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
Never selfish, nor quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
There is no limit to its faith,its hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love.”

The world will soon be obsessed with Love as Valentine's Day is just a flying-kiss away. Come the 14th of February, love will be celebrated throughout the city with candle light dinners, romantic walks on the park, bouquets of flowers, chocolates, laughter, and a whole lot of happy couples and groups of friends who will be out to enjoy the special offerings at various locations around town!

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, we're bringing you a handful of rather affordable Valentine's Day gift picks from a few different blogshops around. And to make things interesting, you can also vote for whichever selection tickles your fancy the most as the "Perfect Valentine's Day Gift"!

Dorfbury - Estee RM55

Not the party type? Afraid not because Dorfbury is well known for their gorgeous daily wear dresses and cardigans.

Coming back to accessories, there's nothing more cliche than a heart pendant. Especially the ones which can keep a tiny picture of those that are close to heart. Check out this heart shaped pendant from Itsy Beadsy which is engraved with lovely floral design at RM40. What makes this a special and rare heart pendant are the little butterflies attached to the necklace. We bet, this is the loveliest Heart pendant we've seen so far.

Power Image by The October

the_DIRTYMONSTER_2[5]

When we saw this, we knew we had to share it with you - The October, an online boutique known for their wide variety of women's apparel.

Their website sports an extremely clean look, with professional online services, and a range of collections that we couldn't help but yearn for!

What we love most about this online boutique are their very highly detailed photos. They've provided detailed descriptions of the products on their site and it provides shoppers an extremely relaxing, practically worry-free shopping experience.

Other than a fine array of dresses and skinnies, they've also got powerful statement shoes. If only we could grab them straight off from our screen!

Have not checked them out? Then, what are you waiting for?

Life in Monochrome : Pink

Our much anticipated Life In Monochrome segment for the month of July is finally here! We would once again, like to thank everyone for the effort and contributions that have made Life in Monochrome a success over the past 2 months.

This month has been a a busy one for us as so it's a huge relief to finally be able to settle down and start putting August's Life in Monochrome segment together. And for the first time, we want you girls (and guys if any) to vote for your favourite entry in this month's segment! Just to make things a wee bit more interesting!

As you've probably already realized, Pink is the sweet colour of the month.
And speaking of pink, we're also taking this opportunity to further promote the awareness of Dorfbury's Pink Ribbon Project. In case you don't already know, Dorfbury will be donating a certain amount to the Breast Cancer Welfare Association of Malaysia from each purchase of their Project Pink Ribbon product range.


*you may tag the cover of our June 09's issue on your blog!

So sit back, grab a "sirap-bandung" drink and treat yourself to what we have in store for you...

Kimono-styled dresses are more often than not, plain and simple with usually more conservative motifs. What we have here to start our segment is a rather unique, not-so-plain, feline-inspired piece from A Model Studio at a purrringly good RM44!



Next up, Alice Wonders presents the famous Quilted Patent bag ala Chanel which was such a hit (and still is) among the Online Shopping Community. We've seen this bag in the flesh and can testify that it's as sophisticated and appealing as it looks in pictures! So in case you've been looking for one or you've just fallen in love with it, head on to Alice Wonders and grab it for RM99!



What's not to like about the Pinkie Giraffe? This latest handmade pillow from Beanipet made us feel all warm and fuzzy, and charmed its way into this month's Life In Monochrome. The RM100 pricetag may be slightly steep, but the skill, craft, attention to detail and irresistable cute-ness definitely justifies it.



As mentioned earlier, Dorfbury are doing their part for society via Project Pink Ribbon. We also explained that they will be donating a certain amount to the Breast Cancer Welfare Association of Malaysia with every purchase of a specific product. This neat and useful "Chollie" bra hanger set is that product and it costs a guilt-free RM10. So get a set today, enjoy some convenience of the bra-hanging kind and do your part for society!



Dress.it.Hawt want you to get hot with their very versatile Smoking Hot Pink Dress!
This dress is perfect for every occasion; be it a cool chill-out session with friends, a warm family dinner, or that hot weekend date you were going on! Get this and you can control your own temperature (In a fashion sense) for only RM40!



What happens when you blend marshmallows, candy floss, strawberry yogurt and a piece of cloth together? You get the Sweet Sailorette! Wear it for comfort, wear it plain, wear it as a top, wear it as a mini dress or pimp it up with accessories! Not a bad deal for only RM38. Brought to you by Impulse Grabber.



Every girl needs an everyday bag and here's one that fits the bill perfectly. The Wannabe Drawstring Tote from Just Bag It costs a really sweet RM55 and well, it's everything an everyday bag needs to be; easy, convenient, spacious and non-complicated!



No Plain Days make it to this month's list with the Sheer Romance Dress. Priced at RM43, it's to be worn as an outer layer that's perfect for mixing and matching. Wear it over a tank top, pair it with skinnies, or if you're feeling adventurous; it'd probably work as a romantic piece of lingerie too!



If you love giraffes the way we love Owls, then this month's Life In Monochrome should be pretty interesting for you. We brought you the giraffe pillow earlier, and now we're bringing you a giraffe pendant from Oozora Tang at RM42 to satisfy the giraffe lover in you!



If you're a fan of tube dresses, PrettyEverAfter have something for you which so happens to look like one of our own favourite tube dresses! Take a walk on the beach or just express your fun nature to the world with Summer Bay ll at only RM48.



What better way is there for us to welcome The Fashion Word to the online shopping community than by including them in this month's segment? Here they are making a sweet statement with the very sweet Dolly Pink! We really love the laced details along the edge of this layered tube and we also love the RM35 price tag!



Our final entry is a work of art... Really, it actually is a work of art. And it's from the very talented artist behind "mer?" (No, we're not posing a question. It's a name) "mer?" needs your help in choosing between 2 colours for their latest bag design. Help her out!


*We like the pink of course!

Unfortunately, that wraps up our Life in a very sweet Monochrome for the month. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Little Marketto

For some reason, to us, the name Little Marketto paints an image of a little Korean or Japanese place selling cute little things. Their cute name isn't just for the sake of being cute though, because all the stuff they have on their site is in some way or another, rather cute!

Our personal pick would be this Strawberry Bracelet.
We love how its modest yet exquisite look is highlighted so well by the red strawberry.
A simple piece like this, often works as a better item to accessorize with when compared to something of a more complicated nature. Not to mention, it's easier to match as well!


Strawberry love bracelet RM18

Simple and plain doesn't mean boring. So if you're like us and simplicity is your thing, this would probably tickle your fancy pretty well!

Futuristic Chic

Instead of the usual babydoll dress or two toned high waisted 1 pc, we spotted a futuristic piece off White Label Closet's shelf. Undeniably gorgeous and very fashionable. Sharp sleeves are a bonus to an outfit as it makes the arms slimmer and longer. To match this top with skinny jeans is the perfect combo. Thumbs and toes up from us!


voguish blouse RM50
