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 ;)

Wrap Me In Your Arms


This jacket is just calling out to be owned again. With a quilted texture and non-bla colour, it'll be a great way to keep nice and toasty in air-conditioned places and look fab at the same time :)

What's Cooler Than Being Cool?

Ice coooold.
When cold, wear jacket like this to look even cooler.
Cool jackets don't scream for attention, they just naturally ARE the center of it.

Hot stuff

OH DEAR, isn't this just the sharpest little jacket ever? In hot pink (also looks kinda fuchsia, which would be as awesome!), with princess sleeves, and a thick bottom hem panel-- totally Victoria Beckham, totally Legally Blonde, totally Jenny Humphrey!

Pair it with houndstooth shorts, booties and a thick hairband for some instant sass.

Total cuteness of the heart

Back from a little holiday and our little layout makeover (thanks to the floral invasion lately!), catching up on the many emails (thank you girls for your support, and do bear with us while we catch up k!)... and what a nice little surprise we found here! :-)

A cute little white eyelet top, slightly batwinged, especially apt now when the season's rage is all about cropped tops. Or if you're tummy conscious like moi, tuck it into your high waisted shorts. A cute little steal indeed, at its pricetag below ;-)

Pretty white, RM10

Also in-store is this rare plaid jacket with side buttons. Ohh cuteness!

Propriety

Trends are a pain. Blazers look so darn good. But the weather is so darn hot! So which will bend you, miss Fashionista? :) I think we all know the answer ;)

Thank heavens for air-conditioning, though!

Blazers are no longer only for office ladies only, because the rage is to pair them with shorts, roll the sleeves up, and strut them in heels. Here is a collection of vintage pinstripped blazers that will cover you up in style without making you look like a boring ol office jacket potato.





p/s: This grey blazer is the most unique and intriguing of the lot! Definitely your pick if you want to stand out from the crowd ;-)

A sharp bargain


We loveeeee bargains like these! We're talking two for the price of one here, darls ;-) You get a striped tank and a cropped jacket that look structured when worn together, and just as sharp when worn separately. You'll love this bargain too for sure!

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.

Coating up



A simple jacket can go a long way these days. All you have to do is pair this with a basic tank top inside, shorts (denim or not, depending where you're headed to), caged/gladiator heels for legs that go on forever, and perhaps a few layers of dainty long chains. Plus this little jacket doesn't look too hot for our crazy weather. Nice :-)

Little dots and cute big buttons on this cropped light brown jacket, certainly an adorable way to add some hoo haa to your daily outfit! Tie a candy slim belt around it to jazz it up and unleash your inner Duffy! Mercyyyy.

Fabulously loud


So everybody with dosh can get a nice looking tartan blazer from the stores, but why shouldn't you put that dosh into a more unique and vintage piece that no one else will have? Plus, this ain't no grandmama style we're seeing here ;-) Two minimalistic buttons to balance out the loud tartan, and pockets for the trinkets... Fabulous indeed, and so worth the splurge!

p/s: More blazers in-store!

Whaddaya know, the fine ladies at Andmoreagain has just the right black blazer for you, and we're totally digging the structure of it! Not over the top, good cut, and pockets! Of course, bidding starts at an absolutely fab price too... ;-)

Blue nun

Totally spotted! *_*

Two very adorable asymmetrical-cut blazers, perfect with shorts and blue skies! We are so loving them both, we can't decide which would make us happier... HMMM...
Who would've thought that "Hey, let's try a vertical scalloped hem on a jacket" would sound adorable? ;-)

A casual wrap that is nonetheless refreshing from our usual cardigans *yawn* ... hehe

Animal instinct



Whilst regular animal prints might not appeal to some of you, what about this oversized funky zebra blazer, in an unconventional shade? :D As with most oversized blazers (which are still crazily in btw ;-)), they look best when paired with a good pair of shorts and with the sleeves rolled up, wethinks!

At such an affordable price, you won't have to think twice about getting this oversized baby!
