Vintage

Monday, November 30, 2009
We're talking vintage lace cardis (with shoulder pads), studded pants and dresses from another era! All of which are truly vintage, as opposed to brand-new 'vintage', and are not for fussy buyers.

All going for only RM20 each (save for the padded blazer originally from HK)! All items can be washed (again) before being sent out.

Thanks for the feature, YSK!

Important note: For any enquiries regarding measurement, sizing, etc, do e-mail me before 5pm, 6 December (Sunday). I'll be away from home for a week and will not be able to accurately answer queries regarding the garments as I won't be having them with me.
Also, all orders confirmed and paid for by 5pm, 6 Dec that do not need re-washing (as they've been washed prior to storing; re-washing done on customers' request) can be sent out early the coming week, but items requiring re-washing can only be sent out earliest next Monday/Tuesday as I'll only be able to pick up the washed garments from home next weekend.

Cream-coloured lace dress
You may have noticed a small patch towards the end of the dress; fret not, we'll give it a good washing before it's sent out. No guarantee it will wash out but you can always give it a lil' Clorox treatment :)
Update: Patch successfully Clorox-ed out!

Vintage: High-waisted Studded Pants
(sold)



Who knew that studs were all the rage back then too?
Could that possibly be...a pair of carrot pants I spot?


"Because of their versatility and not so daring appeal, carrot pants are set to be much more popular than harem pants. Carrot pants are named so because of their carrot-like shape–wide at the hips and tapered at the ankles. Carrot pants can also be worn when sporting the safari/tribal look, but can also be made less rustic. Wear a pair of black carrot pants with a skinny belt, a fitted bow top and stilettos for a sophisticated, urban look."

Everyone knows that lace is back with a big bang. Why spend more than 50 bucks on one, when you can have a truly vintage one for a fraction of the price? This piece practically guarantees no other person having the same thing you do!

For the Beach Babe


While it's all white and snowing for Christmas in the northern hemisphere, for us it's perpetual summer, all year round! But that's no reason to sulk; hit the beach with these gorgeous beach-ready bags from Bangkok and you'll soon see Christmas need not be white to be fun.

Irresistible Pouts

Thursday, November 19, 2009
So what happened was, my aunt dropped by bearing the gift of cosmetics. A small beauty loot, really (yes, they're all fresh off the counters). Out of the bunch, two of them are going on Stuff R Love--not because they're any less drool-worthy, but because there are only so many lipsticks a girl can put on!


Guerlain KissKiss Maxi Shine Lipstick in Nude Shine (sold)




You've never tried quality cosmetics until you've tried Guerlain. This baby is luxury for lips; is it any wonder since it is, after all, from Paris? The brand's enough to strike awe in beauty product hoarders all around the world.

Don't just take my word for it, read this blogger's review. Higher praises for lipstick has never been sung...until Guerlain KissKiss Maxi Shine, that is. Some excerpts:

Guerlain’s packaging is always beautiful. And Kiss Kiss Maxi Shine lipstick is not an exception. It comes is a glamorous golden lipstick case which is simply a pleasure to hold in your hands.

I am prone to dry chapped lips. That is why when I am looking for a perfect lipstick I don’t only look for the right color but also for the right texture. I want it not to dry my lips. And in my experience so many lipsticks do feel drying and make lips flake. I also like not to feel the lipstick on my lips at all. It shouldn’t be sticky or have a very intensive smell. In my opinion, moisturizing lipstick with SPF protection is perfect! Kiss Kiss Maxi Shine lives up to all of my expectations
...

Seriously, do visit the site to read more ;)

While I can't find its retail price in MYR, I did note that it's going for more than RM100 in eBay Malaysia...the starting bid, that is. I'm guessing the counter price is definitely higher.

Get yours here at only RM65.

And if lip gloss is more your thing,
