Sponsored advert/review

Hello fellow shoppers, I've got good news for you today!

The saturation of the blogshop market is getting more and more evident ever since

the wave of blogshop business engulfed the livejournal community in Singapore 4 to 5 years ago.

On a nationwide scale, girls have been consistently scouting for the most reliable, efficient and trendy online boutique with friendly and trustworthy owners to do their online shopping.

Based on my personal experience, I believe that having just 1 to 5 blogshop URLs on your bookmark bar is enough to satisfy your shopping urges (and hurt your wallet badly).

When I shop, I'd prioritize quality material over designs.

But I'm really lucky to come across this up and coming online female boutique,

which can offer amiable and sincere services, has a beautiful model to showcase their apparels,

believes in quality material for the clothing and possesses unique, sweet and elegant tastes in their choice of clothes.

I've the pleasure to work with the 2 friendly and sweet owners of Style Coutique and

watch the space below for my honest reviews on 3 items from their upcoming collection!

I say first:

Apologies for the messy hair and my lack of poses.

I'm not a model and I'm gonna do something to my hair soon!

The lack of makeup is due to my rushed timetable on the day of the shoot. Paiseh.

Presenting you... ...

Ms Revelry Dress in Garden Print

ZiweiSandy's review

Are you getting sick of the boring black and white dresses or one-coloured work-dresses that have been in your wardrobe since forever?? It's definitely time for you to head out of your comfort zone and command a little more positive attention with this dress which will be launched in Style Coutique's upcoming collection.

The bold symmetrical floral prints and the colourful overlays are the main attraction points of this unique piece. The elegant high neck cut will elevate the class in you. It comes with an attached petticoat in it, so you don't have to worry even if you're wearing dark inside, if you know what I mean. The material is silky and comfortable when worn, so it can last you through work or meetings enjoyably. :) One thing I like about this piece is that it's not body-hugging but accentuates the right curves of your figure nicely. :)

Odyssey Floral Peplum Top in Peach

ZiweiSandy's review

Even though I'm a tough girl on the outside, I've a weak spot for girly clothes with floral prints and pastel colours. Can you imagine how in love I was with this peplum top when I first saw the prints!?:)

In my opinion, this top is slightly tight for me at the chest area but that's the essence of peplum tops/dresses - to bring out the mini flair at the waist area.

The advantage of this design may not be v conspicuous to guys, but I'm sure the girls know it well - it hides the imperfect little tummy most of us (even the skinniest girls) hate. This beautiful top is best complemented with either a bandage skirt or light-coloured jeans to enhance its beauty wholly. :)

Elle Cut-out Sleeve in Teal

(Available in Classic Black too)

ZiweiSandy's review

Being a casual-wear junkie, I tend to cramp my wardrobe with baggy and flowy tops which can be easily paired with basic shorts. The contemporary cut-out sleeve design will not only bring out the chic in you, it has a tinge of sexiness in it too. The material is thin and lightweight, perfect for the hot weather in Singapore. Wear it out for a Sunday brunch date with your girlfriends/boyfriend(s) and camwhore away~

I'd recommend you girls to wear a simple tube inside as the 'cut-out' is really big

unless you don't mind zhao-geng'ing. ;P

Do head over to the Style Coutique now to look at their past collections.

*Scape fleamarket sales

Firstly, I wanna thank Baohui and Rach from T5 for helping out + sharing rental cost for my 2nd fleamarket sales organized by Flock to shop.

Bad location with not-good-enough crowd today even though the area our booth was situated at was air-conditioned.

Sold a few items and wasted the entire day setting up/helping out for R & B's the shift/doing sales and getting distracted by the pretty gals and clothes from the next booth.

Nonetheless, had a super exhausting but fruitful time being a salesgirl once again. This time, instead of selling clothes for my ex-boss at Holland V, I was helping myself, my partners and other "stakeholders" promote our items. It's an entirely different kinda experience cos I'm earning for MY own booth, working towards an overall target I personally set for the shop. In addition, I was the main organizer for this flea, so i kinda learnt more about time management, partners negotiation/communication, logistics, admin, splitting of work, contacting of "sponsors"/other girlfriends who wish to deposit their items at the booth at a reasonably cheap rate, recording of sales.

I didn't accomplish everything by myself though. I want to thank bee for helping me with all the manly manpower he provided me with to and back from *Scape. Thanks Baohui for being so punctual and the "price tags". Thank you Rach for the table cloth and rushing back down from Changi to help pack up the booth. Thank you Kelly, Lianne, Yawen and Nadya for being shareholders for the booth even though the crowd traffic was quite disappointing,

ONE REGRET. I WAS SO SUPER BZ THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME/CHANCE/MENTAL CAPACITY/PHYSICAL STRENGTH TO TAKE PHOTOS. WTFWTF. T.T

Nevertheless, congrats to The-Hodgepodge on their decently good sale at the Sky terrace today!

I'd like to give a short review on my organizer, Flock to Shop.

I think alot alot more could be done on publicity. Most of my customers didn't know there was another bazaar on the 2nd and 4th level, which explains for the lack of good crowd. About 3-4 tables at the air-conditioned area (Level 2, outside Sakae Sushi/Kbox) were not occupied - another proof that even publicity to vendors wasn't adequate. When Leo, Baohui and I went upstairs to look for the organizer to register for our booth, she was nowhere to be found. In the end, she did not even take attendance for my booth. The entire 4th floor was disorganized and messy as vendors were free to shift their tables and chairs to whichever part of the Sky terrace that they liked. Worst thing is that the crowd that we have was 1/10 that of the open-air bazaar organized by ScapeBazaar. Despite the risk of a downpour, I think it's still more worth it to set up a booth in the open area outside Scape.

Anw, after the flea, Mr Mah, Leo's dad brought us to TGIF @ Heeren and treated us to dinner. As usual i didn't have much.

Mushroom soup shared between Leo and I.
Rich and creamy, but 8.90++ :/

Stuff mushrooms.
Yummy but small serving. 7.90++

This is the main dish. One pint all to myself. 13.90++

Had an enjoyable time chatting w Mr Mah about sho many things - his crazy biking days, getting drunk at the bus stops outside Butter factory and waking up to the Monday clusters of office ladies/men staring at the 17-yo delinquents - like father like son. Tsk. 2 hours of chitchat session (at the expense of my already insufficient midterms revision time) to find out that his dad is really knowledgeable, hilarious and young-at-heart. :) Bee also claimed that his dad is one true opponent at pool that he enjoys playing against. ;) Like father like son, part 2.

Alright time to sleep and get enough rest for the tuition marathon + adole psych mugging marathon tmr.

Nights. :)

Hearts.

P/s: I won a pair of movie tickets to GALA PREMIERE of John Carter this coming Monday, the day before my 25% midterms!! :x AND my date is none other than the spicy hot SIA stewardess-to-be...

Kelly. <3 See ya dear!

P/p/s: Happy 46th Monthniversary Bee!! <3

P/p/p/s: Lianne, I miss you (and travelling with you)!!
