Arsty comfort


A two-piece artsy top from Taiwan that is best for those slouchy days! Pair them with grey skinnies, ballet flats and a thick hairband. You'd be surprised at how arsty you'd suddenly feel, and how easily you'll seem to drape over chairs and couches, because of the comfort you get from this piece. We love them slouchy days ;-)

Monochromatic hottie



We sure love our black and whites, especially when they come in such chic prints and an adorable cut! A vintage drop waist dress that you KNOW will go perfectly with those chunky heels you splurged on last week ;-) It's summer all year long in Malaysia, which is why we adore the length of this little monochrome number... and let's not forget that contrasting hem too.. yay!

Tricycle Treacle


This dress reminds me of all the reasons why I love vintage dresses:
First, the easy-to-wear-cut. With its flattering flare skirt and just-right neckline, you don't have to constantly tug and pull to make sure the outfit's behaving properly.
Second, the funny prints. Not too in-your-face but once you pay more attention, it puts a silly smile on your face.
Thirdly, the affordable price!!!

Tricycles! How cute is that?

Tricylce, RM25

GAHHhhh, how one-of-a-kind are these?! Whimsical, quirky, whatever you wanna call it. These necklaces will definitely add that little something extra to your outfit. I even have the urge to give them names. The horse shall be Dharma and the snowflake I christen Tallulah.
