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.

Bonfires and Little Foxes


Boho's the way to go. It's the way of bold but lazy people. Folky prints of flowers, bushes and eagle hawk feathers (?) splashed on slouchy baggy free-flowing shapes. Sit by the bonfire and tell some tales, forget about the city (no, it's not a line from a song).

Go go go.

Turn on the girl next door charm with these two pretty tops. Whilst the checkered one is good for some summer fun outdoors, the white slightly sheer one takes the cake for being sensual without showing too much skin. Plus, both are perfect for our weather! ;-)

Basically...

We'll never get enough of basics! Just take a look at how Chelle Pong works her basics into different looks :D

Since basics usually get layered inside, thrifting for basics are always a good idea. Here are a couple of basics to get those looks flowing-- we're seeing endless possibilities with these babies!

Lazy weekend

The weather's been a bit wonky lately, so we've picked out an odd but practical set for this coming lazy weekend for you...




10am and it's time to get ready for brunch with your irritating (but loveable) brother. Here's a baby blue tank top that looks almost ordinary except for the little details in the gathers, which would beat any other normal tank top hands down!

Cozy, RM15

Available at Heart2bits


2pm, time to head to that bazaar around the corner with the girls! Since everyone's always looking mighty fashionable at bazaars, you shouldn't be looking too bad yourself. Look as cool as a cat without compromising on comfort (and just in case the aircond's not in a good mood ;-)) with this sweet peach halter top! Pair it with shorts, accessorize a little bit, and don't forget that blusher ;-)

Peachy-fied, RM10
Available at Doved-Preloved

Oh, and don't forget to wear comfy and the trendiest footwear too! Gladiator flats, a must for the weekends, right? :-)

Vincci white glads, RM23 (size 7)
Available at Quinn
p/s: also available in black!



5pm, you just got back from the bazaar and your bestie calls you out for a cup of coffee or ice cream or juice (she's not sure what she feels like yet). Bring a big, unassuming bag along-- y'know, just in case there's some shopping to do. Like at the flea market. Dududu.

Shoulder black bag, RM25
Available at Bits & Pieces



9pm and you're off to the cinema with your boyfriend. Because you want to dress down and comfy without looking like you're malas to look good, this embroidered throwover is going to do the trick for you. Comfy-- check. Snuggleness-- check. Character-- double check!

Embroidered throwover, RM40 (not worn)
Available at Think Tank Top

Let's do the polka!


Wahey, didn't the weekend roll in so quickly again? :o)

Halter tanks are a weekend essential, and what more in such a bright colour and polka dots too! Show some skin, let down your hair, go on a roadtrip, try new cuisine, and enjoy every minute of the weekend, girls!

This piece is definitely Thrift Book's Weekend Pick! ;-)

A little birdie once asked...

What do you do when you're sick n tired of your basic tank top? Well you could sell it of course. Or as Mini Meows from Rainbow Doodles did, you could....


... PAINT IT! :-D

I see your jaw dropping and mouthing OMG. I know, it's beautiful isn't it?? So much more gorgeous than printed tops you get at MNG!

Okay so not everyone has artsy fingers like Mini Meows, so, you could always drop her an email to get a handpainted tank top for yourself! IMHO, this tank is priced at a REAL STEAL considering how much love and time goes into handpainting this gorgeous birdcage and ze little bird :-)
