Fabfad Review

True to this colour. :)

Another item that I won from FB giveaways, this time from Fabfad! Yes, I've been pretty blessed to be winning so many pretty clothes (thank You Jesus!), such that I'm reminded to spread the blessings around with my friends/family! :) This item, I actually wanted to give it to my housemate in Australia. But when the item came in the mail, it was far too short and quite small for her to wear it! So she 'gave' it back to me and I swapped it with another item for her. Haha. :) But I was quite glad too, because I liked that dress as well, we have similar tastes, and I felt that the dress really complimented me. :)

Disclaimer: As the item is won, therefore this does count as a honest review, as I'm going to give my honest feedback on the dress. :)

The item that my housemate had the privilege to choose from their list of available clothes was 'Sparrow Cut-In Frock'. Again, it's no longer available on their website! The dress must have been too pretty and eye-catching, I bet! ;) Here's a picture of how it looks like! I couldn't resist but to snap a photo of it and sent it to my housemate when I unwrapped it in the mail!

So pretty! :) 

I can wear a mask and still look good too! :)

It's a A-line dress plus the cut-in details and the sparrow/birds design makes this dress stand out!! I love the dark navy blue colour of this dress too!

I can wear a mask and still look good too! :)

Oh, hi, side angle! :)

Me looking all too happy because I'm wearing such a pretty dress! :)

What I LOVE about this dress:

1) The navy blue colour that goes so well with fair skin! Really. And the navy-blue and white goes so well with each other (天衣无缝). 

2) The A-line cutting of this dress! It makes me look like I have a figure because it cuts in nicely at the bodice and then flares out, so it makes me look as though I've got a bit of a figure instead of looking like a stick-thin figure all the time. :) Like! :) 

3) The length of this dress is just right for my 1.63m frame! At first, I thought it will be too short too because it's rubberized at the waist, so I was scared it would ride up as I walk. But thankfully, it doesn't. Yay! =D 

4) The dress have pleats from the waist-down (see the pictures below), which I think it's really nice because it twirls when I walk. Hahaha. I'm vain like that. 

5) The most important point: I feel good when I wear this dress because I know I look good!! HAHA. Very important to me, I guess. Because when I wear items, I don't want people to compliment me on it, I want myself to look in the mirror and am able to tell myself that I look good! ;) Then, I will be able to believe it when other people tell me I look good. 

It's like reverse psychology. When I wear something that I feel makes me look 'ordinary', even if other people praise it to the skies, I won't really believe them. Haha. But when I know I look good in a dress/top/bottom and other people have the same opinion as me, then I know that they are not bluffing me. :) 

6) It looks so good on me that I've worn this dress twice/thrice in Singapore so far! :) Yes, even with the amount of clothes I have in my wardrobe, wearing any item twice/thrice within a month is considerably quite good already! :) 

What I dislike about this dress: 

- Nothing! Really. I love this dress so much that I'm going to bring it back to Australia with me! And wear it when the weather turns warmer (it's now winter...and going into Spring in August). :) I think it will be perfect in Australia because there are sparrows there! Hehehe. =D  

Now, for some modelesque pictures. :P 

 Thank you Fabfad for this lovely piece!

Fairebelle Review

I won this lovely blouse from Fairebelle's FB Giveaway! When I first knew about it, I was heaps excited because I've always loved the clothes that Fairebelle sells; rainbow colours, pretty, dainty and gorgeous  are terms that comes into my mind when I see the clothes! Much love! =D

One of my lucky colour this year is green, and I guess, Mint or Jade does count as green right, so I was quite estactic to know that I was receiving 'Nelly Crochet Blouse' in Mint!! And such a good chance that I would get to wear it when I am back in Singapore over the June/July holidays!! :) Fantastic, really.

Disclaimer: This review is given out of my own free will and item was not sponsored or given, but won. So I have the right to reserve judgement on the piece and feedback is entirely my own. :) 

But no worries about it, because it's really quite fantastic! I loved it so much, I'm willing to spend time to make a collage of my favourite photos wearing it! Haha. :)

I wore this to church on a Sunday morning and it was quite right too! It was such a pretty piece and not too revealing. The only 'downside' of it was that a lot of church elders commented that I lost weight when actually I gained weight! =/ I guess it was the high-collar part of this top that emphasized my already-skinny collarbones so that it stood out against everything else! Which is a good point for other girls, I think. As other people will be looking at the collarbones first because it's that striking and they won't look at the other parts that are not so flattering. ;) 

What I love about this blouse: 

1) The pretty crochet details at the front of the dress! It's really of good quality because I didn't find any loose or running threads that can happen with certain-quality types of crochet tops.

2) The mint colour! It's so refreshingly sweet! Love, love, love! =D 

3) Halter-neck, high-collar part that allows me to flaunt my shoulders and collarbones. Yes, I didn't like how the church elders told me I looked skinny because I want to look like I've gained weight! But I'm the exception and I really like the halter-neck part because it's where the crochet details are! Pretty! :) 

4) Quality of this piece. It's really good and after washing it, it doesn't shrink! Yay! =D

What I dislike about this top? 

- That it makes me look skinnier. Haha. I jest. I'm the exception, really. All other girls will most likely want this top so badly because they want to look slim. And I...well...I want to look a bit fatter than my usual. I think it will be a boost if someone actually comments and say I look healthy-looking instead of all the skinny comments I get. :) 

Tried to find this top on their website, but their items sell out pretty fast!! It's like when I scroll down their list of tops, it's mostly 'out of stock'! But their clothes are really so pretty that I'm not surprised that they sell out that quickly! :) And they are pretty affordable too, their tops sell for $25-$27 and quality assured! Sale pieces generally sell for <$23. I'm actually eyeing all their rainbow tops but they are all OOS! :( Sad. Seems like most people also feel that this is a good blogshop, at the rate their items sell out so quickly! So I'm not biased when I add a positive review of this piece that I got from them. :) 

Rocking the N95 look with this blouse! It's greenish too! :) 

Color Run is coming to Singapore!!! :D

Oh...Singaporeans are so lucky! The Color Run is finally coming to our sunny island for two days! :D My experience in Australia was so goood that I highly recommend anyone to go and run it! It's awesome! :D It's not even a marathon at all, it's too fun to be a marathon! And yes, the price is a big bummer to those on a budget, but trust me, during the run, you will be too hyped up to care! And this time, it's actually held in the evening! Seriously, in Adelaide, it was held at 9-freaking-AM. :( Which, on a weekend, it was so hard to get there on time! :(

Sign up for it! You won't regret! :)
