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 ;-)

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

Nostalgic Charm

Old sewing machines your grandma used to have (she made you your first full-length, puffsleeve nightgown), little denim overalls with visible stitching. They've got it all here! It's nenenebubu I'm talking about! A little shop spewing hand-made goodness with a distinct vintage slant.

Blazer, RM32.

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).

Hip to be Stiff


Short, cute, geometrical, with double pockets! AND in a totally retro colour. Show off those long, long legs in this altered vintage dress with just the right amount of stiffness, originally from Like, Seriously.

I bag to differ...

Laptop bags are pretty much boring, and the standard black ones are not only horrid but also gives away the "Hey I'm carrying a laptop, why don't you come steal it from me later" vibe.

But hey, here's an alternative for you vintage lovers! With its masculine and strong character, this looks like the perfect vintage carry for your beloved laptop. Now all you need is that preppy get up with vests, argyles, and oxford shoes... small price to pay for rocking out this vintage gem!

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.

I'm Ole School

Loving these two vintage blouses. Definitely not too OTT but nevertheless unique in a way only vintage clothes can be. Subtle but effective detailing and a shocking colour coupled with a great cut. What else can a girl ask for?

White Vee, RM25

Green-ish Ol' Daisies, RM30
