The right of every piece of ass


Let's face it. It's the right of every piece of ass to look cute, and by ass we don't mean the donkey type. We mean your little tushy, your bum, yes, THAT fine piece of ass! ;-) Give credit to where credit is due, and cuteness to where cuteness is due.

Perfect for weekends in your lazy tee and flip flops!

Belted beauties




If studs are not your thing, here are some beauties that swept us off our feet (especially the first belt! Ohhh...), and will possibly sweep you off yours too. Gorgeous babies paired with friendly pricetags, our favourite kinda thing!



Belts, RM10 each

Let's get it studded!


We won't blame you if you didn't notice our title was a parody of BEP's song, because YES FINALLY THERE ARE AFFORDABLE STUDDED CLINCHERSSSSSSS, WOOOT.


(Okay, 2 out of 3 of them are already reserved, so you know what to do!)


All clinchers and belts, RM18 each

Paddlepop, hey!

This little babydoll sure does remind us of Paddlepop! Girlily sweet and versatile (can be worn as a tube or a regular babydoll), you'd want to save this baby for those carefree days or that island trip you're planning ;-)

"Super duper yummy!"

Eyelet outlet


We know bows are a crazy hit lately, which is why we see so much potential in this eyelet blouse! Tuck them into your high waisted shorts, clip on an oversized bow (take your pick from the many blogshops who are offering unique handmade ones!), and you're ready to rock the microphone. Or, whatever it is you want to rock. Hehe.


Eyelet you forever, RM29

One for the summer dresses


If you love summer dresses, you'll know how well they pair up with wedges/espadrilles. Look no further, because this pair of espadrilles is a lovely combination of dark denim and baby blue accents. How can you resist, what more with such a price tag? ;-)


Denim wedges, RM35 (size 7/larger 6)

Simple and structured

Simplicity goes a long way, and so do little Peter Pan collars! Although this is a size M, this would also look perfectly oversized on a petite with its sleeves rolled up, paired with jeans cutoffs (not the trashy looking ones please), and boots (if you're not already hot enough haha) or chunky heels.


Top 3, RM20

Sometimes all you need is a classy patent clutch, but what makes this clutch stand out is its contrast stitching and attached chain strap. Yummm.

Zero effort kabaam


We love no-effort outfits on weekends, because it's so much easier to focus on having a good time rather than spending too much time in front of the mirror PLANNING out what to wear. Which is why we absolutely heart this dress! All you need to do is slip into a pair of comfy wedges, maybe throw on a simple necklace, and you're ready to go KABAAM!

From coast to coast




Just as we were talking about pixellates, we came across this really cute bunch of pixellate coasters. And we're totally lovin themmmm! These are not only the world's most awesomest coaster characters ever (The Hulk, Ironman, and Wolverine, baby!), but practical too-- think about it, these pixellate holes will be able to hold the condensed water from your iced drink, which will keep your tables dry. Yeay!

Not just for the boys, coz we know girls love Marvel too ;-)


Marvel coasters, RM8 each*
from Coloured by Blocks

English rose


Nothing like an English rose blouse to sweeten things up every now and then, right? :-) In a sweet pastel coloured palette, this creased blouse looks comfortable. And if you think flowers are a bit grandmama for you, try pairing this piece with a pair of shorts, unbutton down to keep it from being too uptight, roll up the sleeves and pile on one or two necklaces. Not so grandmama anymore, eh? ;-)

Me ain't no waist clincher, missy!


Ohhh I know what you're thinking. This material and contrast stitching looks like something you'll see on a waist clincher, right? Which is what makes this pair of wedges special! In a milky chocolatey shade of brown, this pair is definitely the one you're looking for to pair your vintage finds with ;-)

Popeye the sailor man


GOSH. Totally chic, and giving the nautical-inspired looks a fresh twist indeed! We're loving how the lovely ladies at Grasshopper paired it with tights and simple pumps. Definitely candy for the eyes without trying too hard ;-)

Pixellates are not dead yet, because here they are on a vintage pencil skirt! So subtle yet nerdy in its own squarish way, we love it! Wear it high waisted if you can, you know you want to ;-)

Le shoes!

Ohhh we love Paris because Paris is why IneedmoneyforPARIS is selling these adorable shoes! ;-) Think about it... you're not only helping a girl achieve her dreams of going to Paris, but also helping your feet look good! Yeah, we women are good at justifying things like that. Hehee.

Uptight seductress

Uptight certainly doesn't mean unsexy, at least not with this high collared satin blouse. Featuring an adorable polkadotted sash that can be tied sideways or behind, this baby is best paired with your high waisted shorts and your vintage glasses, but feel free to vamp it up with your high waisted pencil skirt at the office! Noses will bleed.

Nautical goes vintage

More stripes are coming your way, especially with the appearance of this vintage striped mini dress! Absolutely adoring the sea blue colour palette, and the pleats at the collar make all the difference. We do want to sail the seven seas in this baby indeed!

You don't need us to tell you how to rock this heart-crushing dress ;-)

American pie


OH. MY. This skirt is still available???? We're curious why no one has grabbed this baby yet!

Denim skirts are aplenty, and while some combinations of denim+other material can be a bit too tacky, this combination of denim and tweed is abso-smackingly delicious! It's Katy Perry without her occassional sluttiness, hehe. This skirt definitely makes me want to have some waffles in a diner, and wait for Archie to come over and share a sundae together.

Gorgeous with mary jane pumps and a simple tank top!
