Jan. 2010 Shop Sneak Peek (5)

Big ticket. Plaid skirt is Burberry and denim shorts is Calvin Klein. Both too small for me. Ugh.

Jan. 2010 Shop Sneak Peek (4)

I did not realize I bought a lot of blue for the Shop. I am not a blue fan. But sometimes I fall with in love with things I don't like -- like these blue vintage and vintage-inspired dresses. That feeling makes me wonder why I don't like the color blue.

Jan. 2010 Shop Sneak Peek (3)

Mixing and matching. The yellow skirt is an unexpected color and the black patch of cloth at the front is an unexpected leather. :)

Jan. 2010 Shop Sneak Peek (2)

Still in line (or at least a little bit in line) with the rock/grunge/princess theme. There are also several vintage items that I particularly like and would have loved to keep in my closet but are very big for me. I also heart the boots but too small for me. heh

Jan. 2010 Shop Sneak Peek

New uploads for the Shop will be next week, early or late next week. I did not have a theme in mind but subconsciously, the items I selected for January veer towards the rock/grunge/princess look. :)

UPDATE: Both blouses are reserved.

Shop Sneak Peek: Dec. 2009 Casual Dresses

Casual dresses to be posted at the Shop tomorrow. :)

Shop Sneak Peek: Dec. 2009, Tops

Before I sign out for the night, let me leave you with a sneak peek of what will be uploaded at the Shop this Monday. Casual tops and dresses. :)

Good night, everyone!

Sneek Peak: Casual Chic

November at the Shop will offer several pieces of casual tops. The weather is really weird (sometimes raining hard, sometimes too sunshiny all in one day!), and these tops are perfect for those kind of weather. Easy to wear, comfortable enough to be layered under a jacket, not too thin or thick, and [most especially] quick to dry. :D

Sneek Peak: Fall Princess

Two items to be listed at the Shop this November: a princessy dress and a classic/classy quilted bag. Both bag and dress are thrift finds and are in good thrifted condition.

The dress (tag: Clio from Paris) is made of cotton (feels like linen) and accentuated by lace and tassels at the sleeves. I am not very sure if the dress is vintage but it does look like it's vintage. Very pretty and girly.

The bag (tag: Paolo Gucci) will remind you of the popular Chanel quilted and chain-strapped bags. As per my research, Paolo Gucci is one of the members of the famed Gucci family. I don't know if he actually designed this bag as he died in 1995 but the bag bears his name.

Sneak Peek: Denim!

These two pairs of denim have been in stock in the shop since the shop started in July. These are my sister's beloved pair of original Levi's denim jeans and these are gift from my mother. We took months deliberating whether to sell these or save these up for our daughters (or our sons). None of us could no longer fit the jeans (these genetic thighs!) and so, we finally decided to put the two pairs up for sale. I hope these two find a better home and hope these two will make their future owner happy -- happy to have invested in a guaranteed no-fail rock-chick pair of jeans.

Four Looks: Ruffled Blouse

I snatched this classic white ruffled top from a thrift shop just last Thursday and is putting this up in the shop in November (along with the jeans and jackets worn my model). The blouse comes with a detachable sash of the same color and material and, at first, I thought it was burdensome. But later realized that you can transform the look of the blouse in many different ways using the sash. Not seen here in picture is the sash used as a scarf, because that is a plain thing to do.

Blouse w/o Sash . . . Sash worn as a waist belt
Blouse under a Jacket . . . Sash worn as a Neck tie

Sneak Peek: Coco Chanel

midnight blue dress, Chanel Boutique

One day while thrifting, I chanced upon this midnight blue button-down Chanel dress. Of course, because it was a Chanel, I grabbed it and tried it on. And I was lucky because it fitted me. I brought the dress to the laundry shop. But when I got it, the dress was shrunk to a whole size down.

I think I made a mistake as the instructions said to have the dress dry cleaned.

The dress will be posted at the shop in November. UPDATE: Someone has already reserved the dress! Wohoo! Thank you, dear!

November Bags

Something to look forward to in the shop's November uploads. :) Five bags, actually, but I couldn't fit the fifth one in the collage. :D Sorry.

Past Finds

A hot pink summer dress (label: Hollister) that I probably bought a year ago or so. Probably, because I can't remember when I bought this or where. All I know is that this piece of sexy summer dress was brought before November 2008 as I already wore this during my boyfriend and my 2nd anniversary in Bohol. Only wore this dress twice. And this dress is a little big for me, especially the bust part. I am putting this up for sale at the shop as part of my November uploads.


I found this dress (label: Clio from Paris) very princessy and would have loved to wear this if I am a princessy person, except that I'm not. Well, we girls have a little princess (or queen) inside of us but I think the dress is too kyoot for my age already. And the sleeves are also a little tight for my taste. So, I am also putting this up for sale in the shop in November. :D
