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.

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!

Polka dot print drop waist cotton dress, RM45

VV Brown sure loveeeesss her houndstooth prints BOLD, BIG, and FUNKY!

Which is why this next dress looks like it was plucked straight out of Ms Brown's funky wardrobe! Like, Z-O-M-G, THIS IS SOOOO PICK OF THE WEEK!!!! *pulls hair in excitement while dancing to Crying Blood (which coincidentally has Ms Brown superrocking out in that houndstooth dress!!!)*

Full bloom, RM40
Available at Vintageville

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

Band Aid

Even if you're not a member of a rock band, no one's gonna stop you from dressing like you belong to one (oh yeah). These slouchy boyf shirts just exude that rocker chick cool that says "yes, I'm a badass" ;)

bs11 and bs12, RM25 each
both from 6 T's Thingy

Vanderfulllll

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.

Carousel Horse and Black Winter, RM12 each

Classic contrast piping

Vintage blazer with thick contrasting piping in black! Remember that blazer that Georgina held up in Blair's room on one of the episodes of GG? ;-) We're thinking, pair this with a long tank, skinny jeans and ballet flats for a structured but laid back look.

Vintage blazer, RM17
Available at The Daring Darlings

Coolest chick

We can't stop being drawn to items that make the weather seem less hottttt! Cool yourself down and let the rest sizzle in heat with this two piece basic layered tunic top (works as a dress too!)-- looks great with a thin belt around to accentuate your waist, and will look fab with loads of accessories and even fierce gladiator heels. YUMMEH!
White and blue, RM25

And if you are more of an oxfords girl rather than a gladiators girl, you can purchase this pair of oxford heels (originally from Korea) from the same place too!
Oxford heels, RM55 (size 8 - worn once)

Both items available at Souled Sisters

Grey is the new black

So we're all still holding on to our blue skinnies from last year, and the braver ones of us will use our cheese graters to update the look hehe ;-) But why not try a pair of grey skinnies? A brand new pair of grey skinnies at such an affordable price, surely you won't have to think twice! :D

Skinny me, RM40 (never worn)
