Step up to cuteness

Ohhh! We haven't come across any reasons to smile silly at your own feet lately, but this sure did make us change our minds. In retro b&w polkadots and with bows that are too cute to be ignored, this is definitely for you cuties out there.

Tip: Afraid that bows + polkadots are a combination leading straight to kiddy hell? Try balancing it out with a good pair of sensible capris and a basic coloured toga/off-shoulder top. Naisse.

Pssst.. remember to wax them leggies! Hehe

Stripey comfort

ViVi has so many ideas for putting looks together that I simply MUST share with you, so please bear with me! :-p

We're digging this simple look to put together without loosing the fun, here's a simple striped jacket pulled over a long tee dress, topped with a beaded headband for that updated hippie vibe. We're guessing gladiators at the feet ;-)


And here's a similar jailbird jacket that you can own right now, yay! Oh we'd soooo love to wrap a red clincher over this baby!

Bow down to the Bow!

Picked up April 09's ViVi the other day, and looks like no siree, we ain't over the bows yet! Featuring bows on bags, bows on hair, and when we spotted this bow on skirt...


... we knew where to find a OTT candy coloured bow for your candy coloured skirt!


Sure everyone's got a bow on their hair, so be one of the first to pin this kitschy bow on the front of your skirt! ;-)

Long live the Bow!

"Leaf it to me!"


We'd like to think that when we have woes of "Oh no, this dress/blouse looks really plain for me to wear to that dinner/event/interview/date...", this 3-leafed clincher will say "Leaf it to me!" and step boldly up to the occasion and jazz up your outfit like no other. Oh yes this talking clincher likes to speak in puns too. Utterly classy nonetheless!

Sail The Seven Seas

Sail the seven seas with these pretties. We all love vintage bags cos they don't make them bags like they use to anymore. But the thing is, they're always in the same neutral hues of brown and black.

So chancing on these two nautical-inspired bags are like...discovering hidden treasure. Except they're not hidden. They're up for sale!!! at only RM25 each (eyes water, chin quivers).

CODE: GL-HBWC25

CODE: RED-HBWC25, both at RM25
Both from Chip[N]Deal

This dress is really the most gorgeous bargain we've seen all week! In a lovely shade of teal and made of satin, this wrap dress is fuss-free and simple for you to dress up or dress down.
