Love Me Do

Sweet but not saccharine. Really love the subtlety and quirkiness of this light, light, rosette chiffon dress. Pair it with masculine boots for an interesting contrast ;)

Slouchy style

Get those creative juices flowing with this slouchy, drapey vest in basic black! Layer it over your basic tee, or an oversized one, and go for ballet flats. Slouching may be bad for you, but not when you look this good ;-)

Drape, RM15
Available at Preloved Junkies

Gingham goodness

Sundaes and fries at the diner, you'd be as cute as a doll in this red and white gingam top! The generous V-collar injects casual fun into this printed blouse. Shorts and mary janes, and a thick satin headband is all you need to get Archie's heart-- though I'd much rather prefer just a sundae :-P
Red and white gingham blouse, RM25
Available at Naked Toast on Fat Girls
p/s: Calling all petites... XXS Supre dress in-store too!

Hip to be Stiff AGAIN


Stiff little dresses are incredibly Twiggy-esque, don't you think? Just pair with tights and put on lashings of mascara! Wear that doe-eyed expression and crop your hair for that full-on effect (yes, we're getting a bit carried away).

Talk about drama!

Have an extra serving of drama with this oversized rosette tank top, we swear it's way more gorgeous and edgy than floral headbands! Think Lady Gaga with feminine sensibility. Tuck her into a modest pencil skirt, some heels, and show them girls who's the real drama queen now.

The Power of Bow


Yes, it is enormous, the power of a bow. Look how it transforms a pair of normal plaid shorts into extremely quirky ones. Lollipop in hand required when walking down the street in a pair of these.

Lace, Lace, Baby

Have been spotting lots of lace appearing on the runways lately. Which makes sense as these are somber times but sexy times too (ok, I made that rationale up but the runway thing is true, think Prada). So we at Thriftbook have decided to bring you a more affordable batch.

Tuck in and wear with bandage miniskirt for an updated look.

Biker Like No Other

Let's say you are essentially a very very good girl and generally can't pull off hardcore black biker jackets made outta leather then I have just the right thing for you!

A beige one with still a lotta edge in it with its supercool slanted zipper and breast pocket. For the girl next door with some biker cool in her ;)

Garden partay

I'm surprised this gem hasn't been grabbed up yet! Quirky garden-inspired plaid cropped vest in the freshest of hues (oh yes we're tired of the regular black and red plaids) that will guarantee you instant Lookbook street cred.

Drape it over a regular tank and high-waisted shorts like Blk S., or take a more exciting cue from Celeste C. and button it up over a skirt! (And if you're loving Celeste's blue vintage hat, guess what... there's a blue fedora in-store too ;-) )

Plaid vest, RM15
Available at Pick Me Up, Buttercup
p/s: Cotton On black skinnies in-store too :-)
