Personal wardrobe!

Been a while since I blogged, thought I might share with all bits of my wardrobe. Or ensembles that i've put together. I wish i had a better place to take my photos, but I don't so PLEASE BEAR with the horrendous messy backgrounds in most photos!

All comments are really welcome! try not to be too mean tho, pleasE? :D

casual summer.
I LOVE MY BAMBI top from Supre, who's with me?

comments: I love pairing oversized tees with shorts, especially for summer/ spring. It's extremely casual and comfortable yet lets one look put together. Also, oversized tees are always flattering for almost anyone! Add a cute classic print like Bambi, and what's not to love? 


Casual day out.
I'm in love with the shade of pink and my tux blazer (will feature a better photo next time).

comments: The pink v-neck long sleeve babydoll is from Victoria's Secret.. i believe it's one of their classic tee designs when autumn/winter rolls on by. So be sure to check that out. Very flattering cut (hides tummy!) I don't know about you, but somehow a blazer always makes an outfit that much more chic smart! If the weather does not get too cold (i suggest spring), just slip on a cotton blazer like the one I have on! I'm also dying to get a more structured blazer soon, any recommendations?


Small night out.
I just loveee bows!

comments: If you're planning for a night out, but the weather's cold and you're not planning on too big a night. There's nothing wrong with ditching that skimpy dress or crazy high heels. I went with comfort over vanity here, but still maintained a good style (hopefully!) I love that my top is slightly oversized but cinched at the back and has a ribbon sash that just ups the cute factor! Since i was wearing a skirt, I decided to go with my boots to cover up more of my legs for warmth. Would u wear this?


Out for a dance with the girls!
understated sexiness with the off-shoulder look!!

comments: I love the shade of dusty pink on my knit dress! Sometimes SEXY is not about revealing it all, your shoulders can do the trick too, babes! I also love how it is bandage-y at the hips, showing off the female curves! If you want to up the sex factor, go with stockings or lace leggings. oohlala! Also, how amazing are nude pumps for matching just about any outfit!


And I'm just gonna end with 3 formal styles that I put on in the past year or so. Open to comments!! :D







--------------------------------

Lastly i've got 2 more photos to show u of earrings I made earlier this year. Very spring and girly, just my style.. hope i find others who also covet this style of mine? :D





Thanks for reading! Till next time~ I'm thinking a post on coloured lenses (:

Candy Stripper

Candy Stripper is a female-centered Japanese brand that features apparels and accessories in somewhat punk-rock styles. Going through the online shop, you'll find lots of baggy tops/ dresses; vests and sweaters also in abundance. Stuff that on first look are dull and unfashionable.. But I believe if coordinated well, especially with their fun accessories and jewellery, the look can be real fab. And unique, no doubt.

Besides the alternative chic style, there is also some stuff available for those who love their stuff cute! Think overalls and miniskirts. There's also a selection of cute tights/ leggings to go with them. Also cute are definitely their bags and purses (:

Before we continue, I gotta alert you that the site can be navigated in English, but there's still words written in Japanese. Especially in product descriptions. However, it is simple enough to navigate through the shop..
Some of my picks! (comments in magenta!) Once again I do not claim ownership over these photos!! They belong to Candy Stripper!

I like the exposed zipper, and the water-colour effect this print has.
I love!! Plaid is also one of my favourite prints :P
How cute is that? Remind me of the McDonald's character.. forgot the name. hmm.
I don't think there's anything not to like about this top. Baggy tank. Heather grey, one of my favourite colours. And it shows attitude!
They called it "funny dwarfs" but it's really a few blind smurfs running around. real cute.
I love the concept of a bear hiding in your tee and peeping out. The sneaky little eye!
This bag is in such a cute shape and polka dots just work so well here. They add quirkiness yet cuteness to anything! This bag also comes in "foil pink and silver"
I think it's self-explanatory :P
My Favourite item, no doubt about it at all!! Cool shoes with a cute twist! These come in violet and also white/pink.

I linked every item to their specific page, so you can browse easily. There are more stuff in the shop, I assure you. Think jackets, some jewellery.. more skirts and tops!  And their webbie also has got their scrap book (designs by seasons), more on their designers and press. Even a staff blog! so u could go check that out. Although it MIGHT be in Japanese... hmm. Oh well, u don't let language barrier get in the way of appreciating their goodies yea? :D Visit at http://www.candystripper.net/ !

My obsession with bows

(Forever 21)
I LOVE it in the silver/gold mix. (:
(Betsey Johnson)
So amazing! The large mesh bow is making me drool. I imagine it'll look classy, yet edgy. And it's fuctional too!
(Marc by Marc Jacobs)
This just proves to me that you can never have too many ribbons and bows.. 
(Banana Republic)
A short charm necklace, all those ribbons wrapping snugly around your neck, must be absolutely gorgeous!! I especially love the silver ribbon with the rose pink gem in the middle!

(IceCream Candy)
Looks so simple.. but its hyper size and pinkness is just sheer cuteness!
(So Lovelee)
Yea, it's a pretty pricey headband. But a lot of work must go into the beading. And it's oversized, and cute! I like this black bow, it comes in the inverse colours as well (:

Some of above stuff are admittedly WAYYY too pricey, and way out of my league too ): But it never hurts to look cos one just gets so inspired by yummy designs!

And some stuff you may not necessarily "buy".. but you might be able to have them too ;)

P!nk's bow tattoos!

Saw her tattoos on a very cool P!nk poster, but I can't seem to find that image on the web. That's the best picture I could find, but seriously! Looks especially good if you've a hot ass of course ;P
Lady Gaga's bow hair

I came across a web tutorial to do this bow hair! And I'll feature the hair tutor soon cos she's awesome!!

Sick for cute!

Formerly known as kidpirate, the website has now expanded to feature more artists, and hence more variety! Still as irresistably cute as before, but with even more adorably characters and stuff now than ever before. Imagine my surprise when I visited the webbie again!

http://www.sickforcute.com/shop/

Their merchandise ranges from female/male apparels (they cater for plus sizes as well!! w00ts!), to bags, jewellery and even stationery for the home or office. If you like your stuff cute, but yet with a hint of edge, this is where u can shop shop shop!

Some picks (pictures all credits to sickforcute.com, I don't claim ownership to any images below):

APPAREL
The RAWR dino has always been my favourite original kidpirate character. Love this tee to bits!
Sleepy Panda tee - under the Em and sprout label, but from the same designer behind Kidpirate. LOVES!
There's also a Alice in the Wonderland series in a different artist's style. Above is a Mad Hatter Men's Tee by "The Bold Banana".
BAGS
"Eat me" tote.. Cutest grocery/tote bag ever right? And environmentally friendly too. Red is all sold out though, maybe try green.
I'm sorry, I adore the sleeping panda so much i couldn't resist picking this field bag as one of my favourites!
Besides totes and field bags, they also have purses and messenger bags. Click here for more.
They've also got a variety when it comes to jewellery- necklaces, earrings, bracelets. You've got the cutesy, loud characters and some of the more classy, simple ones. Also, the funky ones are my favourite. See below:
JEWELLERY

They've also got postcards and pins in their stationery section. You should check out the entire site! I guess I wouldn't say it appeals to all. But if any of my picks above fascinate you at all, no harm visiting 'cos it's a treasure trove of coolness and cute! They've got special deals each week as well, resulting in items going out of stock quickly. So.. if you're feeling sick and are in need for some cuuutee, they've got your pill! what're you waiting for? ;) Shop!
