Whitesoot

Changed the layout! Hope you people like it!


Today's review is about Whitesoot! 

You can check out their blogshop at --> Whitesoot, their facebook page ---> whitesoot or follow them on twitter @whitesoot
Love their dresses! very elegant and classy. The way they style the model makes the garment even more attractive!

Whitesoot facebook page
They run mainly via their blogshop. All orders need to fill up the order form and payment is made to their Maybank or CIMB account. You will be required to capture a screenshot of your payment and email it to them to prove payment.
Their blogshop is very user friendly. Click on the tabs on the right and you can see all kinds of heading to answer your questions.



For example, I clicked on delivery charges and you will see the table of the charges depending on how many items are you purchasing. They highly recommend Poslaju because its fast and safe. I myself love poslaju delivery as well! NEXT DAY DELIVERY! who doesn't love it? We all want to see what we paid for ASAP right?



Prices are affordable as well. You can get dresses from as low as RM55 to the standard blogshop pricing of RM69. Measurements are provided and if you are lazy to pull out the measuring tape, they provide you with standard sizes for eg UK sizes.


Here are some of the dresses that got me eye glued to the screen!


Lovely vintage colour stripes dress with a simple belt that matches with the colour of the dress. The cutting is good as it cuts in a bit higher than the waist, paired up with the belt, it elongates your leg! Not expensive as well, only at Rm57!



Check out this POLKA DOT DRESS! Loving the design and the colour. So retro!






And this! Colours are always good to spice up your wardrobe. Not forgetting how much attention you can get by having striking colours on you. Easily pair it with a black blazer and you are off looking classy and yet formal for corporate affairs.



Try them out! Browse through their collection. So far I am loving what I see. Just that there is no free delivery =(

Louis Vuitton vs Hangover 2

Who hasn't watch Hangover 2?

No? Okay you can go kill youself!


Just joking. Hangover 2 is one of the most anticipated movie this year mainly because of the great success of the first movie. Here are the cast:-
Justin Bartha
Zach Galifianakis
Bradley Cooper
Ed Helms
For those who have watched the movie, anyone remember the funny part where Alan (played by Zach Galifianakis) mispronounced Louis Vuitton as LEWIS VUITTON?


Well Louis Vuitton took action against Warner Brothers, the producers of Hangover 2 for using a knockoff (fake bag) LV bag in the movie as well as the mispronunciation of the word 'Louis'.


It was reported in Reuters last Wednesday. 


To the delight of the law, the judge dismissed the case saying the use of the bag and the pronunciation of the name fits the character in the movie and was purely for humor purposes. 


A lot of online news site reported on this. 


Read the articles here at Reuters & UK Telegraph.


Here is the scene where you can see the infamous LV luggage bags!


The knockoff
Alan carrying the knockoff
After reading this, I wonder that if the original designers know about the 'designer inspired' dresses sold online here, what would their reaction be?


Just my thought of the day =)

Snow White and the Huntsman

Yes I know I am late in watching this. Nonetheless, I would love to share my thoughts.


I am a huge fan of Charlize Theron and when I first got to know that she will be acting in this movie, quite frankly speaking, I was shocked. It doesn't look like the kind of movie she will be in, not to mention the co-star is actually Kristen Stewart.


But my questions were all solved after I watched the movie. There is probably no one that can pull that character off as good as Charlize Theron!


So for those who is lazy to read, here is what basically sums up the review for the movie.


Storyline
adult version of snow white with the typical snow white saving the day ending


Cast - Love them all except for Kristen Stewart


Visual Effects - Great. Not surprising since its the same producers of Alice in Wonderland


Music - i would say 75%


Make up - 100% job done on Charlize Theron


Charlize Theron is basically the evil queen that wants to stay young forever and to do that, she needs to consume Snow White's heart.


Snow White broke out from the Palace and the Queen sent the Huntsman to hunt her down. Huntsman wasn't rewarded what was promised and decided to aid Snow White in search of her childhood love who happens to be the son of the Duke.


Then some of the hiccups they encounter during the journey, Snow White leading the people to fight against the Queen and finally with Snow White killing the Queen and regain the empire as the lawful heir.


The Queen
CHARLIZE THERON is fantastic being the evil queen. Her acting couldn't be anymore better. Every look she gave, you can feel evil piercing through your heart. 


She bathes with milk everyday to preserve her youthfulness and then fed the milk she used to her people.


Queen covered in milk
CHRIS HEMSWORTH is just him. Being the big guy who can fight. But it was a bit of an EW moment when I saw him kissed Kristen Stewart. A bit inappropriate to see I guess considering of their age gap.

Huntsman with the seven dwarfs

KRISTEN STEWART is actually the protagonist in this movie and she is fucking painful to watch. She always has this constipated look, frowning and showing her big rabbit teeth. I don't even understand why she was casted for the role. Maybe just because she is fair and Snow White is supposed to be fair?


The whole movie, she just had one look and its this:

AH!
aaah~~
AAAAH
AAHH!
and I went ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Rokka Boutique

Well I bet most of you haven't heard about this boutique.


This is a newly launched boutique. Not your usual big time online shopping sites. 


I love their blog layout. It is very neat. 


The clothes are nicely displayed with the name and its length and the price.


Should really check out their clothes. They sell from nice blouses to dresses as well as accessories. 


They are giving away free delivery now but it was not mention whether the delivery is Poslaju delivery or a Registered post delivery.


They accept Maybank and CIMB payment and they accept return but it will be judged on a case to case basis.


I think their clothes are refreshing. You can see colours, patterns and interesting prints. Definitely worth a try! Should be more adventurous in fashion, cut down on one single plain colour clothing and have more prints and patterns!


You can check them out at the blog at Rokka Boutique
or
follow them on twitter @ROKKABOUTIQUE
or
like them on facebook at Rokka Boutique 


Try them out!

Doublewoot - Shoppers Feedback 2

Quick update on a shoppers feedback.


This shopper who prefers to remain anonymous has messaged us sharing a few of her shopping experience with a few online sites.


You can read about her first experience buying from Curves Boutique here ---> Curves Boutique - Shoppers Feedback 1.




To be honest, I considered myself lucky to not have encountered anything like this from Doublewoot. They are normally really efficient in delivery and I am always happy to receive the dresses on time.


However Doublewoot always have a problem with their stock availability. I have tried paying on time and they confirmed it but then email me telling me there has been an error and the colour I want is no longer available and suggest me to take up another colour, which I was not very happy about it.


When I said I refused to accept the other colour, they promised to transfer the money paid back to me but it was delayed. I have to send in reminders to ask for my own money =(


But with their new website now, its been improved. At least when there is no more stock, it will be informed. 


However it will be good if they can update their website more often by either updating the status of the dress to OUT OF STOCK or just delete it from the website. I find it disappointing when I clicked into the dress thinking that it is still available but turned out to be not.


Anyone has an experience to share buying from Doublewoot?

VIVI Magazine Malaysia

I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN I SAW THIS SELLING AT COLD STORAGE!


I have been a huge fan of Japanese Fashion Magazines. Started with Popteen, moving to Kawaii and addict to VIVI. 


VIVI Magazine is a famous Japanese fashion magazine covering street looks, make up skills, hair styling and everything hippy!


The only thing is, the VIVI magazine is in Japanese (of course!). Taiwan then later on had it in Chinese which is a huge step because there are loads of Chinese readers out there who loves VIVI magazine.


No sweat for the English readers because MALAYSIA HAS VIVI MAGAZINE IN ENGLISH! That is gonna be the absolute best because the two main languages in the world is English and Mandarin and VIVI has it in both!


Here is VIVI magazine Malaysia! Featuring our own blogger Ringo Tan or better known as Cheesie. I was expecting more write up on her and was somehow disappointed that it was just a brief introduction, nothing much. 
cheeserland
Obviously it is not the same as the Japanese version but it has the Malaysia flavour. They have street shots of the Japanese fashion lovers.
Malaysia's own Japanese street style
 And you still get the Japanese fashion in English. Read all about in a language that you understand people! It also feature Japanese famous hair stylists of 76style

I think it is good to satisfy those who never get to enjoy VIVI magazine besides flipping and looking at pictures without understand what it is saying.


Having it in English now is good for understanding because you can actually read on the make up tips and hair styling tips. You can also scout for Japanese fashion in Malaysia because they provide you with a directory of the shops .


Get your copy now and you can also subscribe as they are giving free delivery!

Why do I read Xiaxue?

When I retweeted some Xiaxue's tweets lately, someone actually asked me why am I reading her tweets and blog saying that Xiaxue is so full of herself, plastic, rude, Singaporean bla bla bla

I guess I wanted to post this to let it off my chest because because I get damn fed up with the faces I have to deal with when I said:

‘oh, I read this from xiaxue’s blog and she is xxxxx’
or
‘yea, I read it from xiaxue’s blog and the product is xxxxx.

I am not trying to justify anything on her behalf. So considered this post to be a review on a blogger!

Before I start, I would like to make a small disclaimer to let everyone know that I was not paid to blog about this. I did not gain any benefit from this (well except maybe my own entertainment LOL). Anything said here is all of my own personal opinion and there is no intention to cause anyone any malice harm whatsoever.

For those who doesn't know who I am talking about, check out her blog at Xiaxue

She is a big name in the blogosphere. Secured some of the most notorious blog awards LOL.
Check out her own introduction! So funny. 'because I am an awesome blogger!' Didn't even mention what she blogs about or say things like diva, entrepreneur, fashion lover and the usual lame words. LOL

If some of you dumbo out there that think that I am on her side because she is a blogger and maybe my friend, well let me set the record straight.

She doesn’t know who the fuck I am and I don’t think there is a need for her to get someone random person like me to sell how good she is and all. Hello, Xiaxue has 92k plus likes on facebook and I don’t even have 10 yet. So keep all those crap to yourself.


Come on la people, I have a right to choose who I want to read and what I want to believe and what I want to express okay.

For starters, I was not even a reader of her blog until 8 months ago. My friend introduced me to her blog back in 2008 mainly because we were talking about plastic surgery and she told me that there were these 2 bloggers in Singapore who are in a catfight.

So the kepoh female nature in me asked for the names and they were Xiaxue and Dawn Yang
I went to both their blogs and just went'meh okay la’.

First of all, that is because I am not a huge blog reader. So I never care much about who this blogger is and who that blogger is but well I guess when you started working and you needed to fill in those boring/sleepy office time, you will start to browse through online shopping sites and read interesting stuffs.

So 8 months ago, I got dead bored and started reading blogs religiously especially Xiaxue's blog. Every single new post, I will read them. Unlike previously when I would just read when I’m bored. I was so dead bored being jobless that I even read almost all her previous posts. Phew~~

I have grown to like what she wrote and shared in her blog. Its not a distinct category like travel, food, nails etc. The more I read, the more I find myself to be addicted to the point that I get a bit frustrated if she doesn’t blog for a long time! Hahahaha!

Here it goes:-

I like that she is who she is.

Despite all the haters out there attacking her from head to toes (yes toes!), she can still go on and be who she is. She may have layers of makeup but what you see is what you get. 

She is open about her own personal life.

No hanky panky luxurious trip paid by rich old guy, selling sex appeal to live the high life. Hey, not everyone can do that. Its almost like exposing yourself to the whole world. And everyone judges! So I can't even imagine how many hate mails/tweets/comments she gets per day if I am already getting it every now and then.

People said she is lucky that she get to marry a guai lou/ang mo. 

Taken from Xiaxue's FB page
 Well those people should really know what shit they have been through to get where they are now. Not everything is a fairy tale for bloggers la okay. You only see the good side because not everyone blog about the downside. Wanna break your own rice bowl ah?

I really like the fact that the things that she shared are all about her life

Some people choose to read travelogs because they get to learn more about places and see nice pictures but how many of us really can afford travelling around the world?

Xiaxue shared from her dating days to her married days. Friends who have stood by her side and family members who have given her support throughout the difficult times. 

I guess its more down to earth for me. A lot of aspects that she blogged is more practical. She may get sponsored to stay at nice villas and all but hey, she earned it. 

Xiaxue was also the one that got me to read my own local bloggers; cheeserland and fourfeetnine. I mean I know about them but I was never a reader. It was when Xiaxue did not blog for sometime that I wander to their blog cause I needed to read something la basically. HAHAHA

Lately, I was insanely impressed with her blogpost on 'The Faces of Haters'. It takes a lot of courage to do that. For a tiny person like her, she really does have a big voice. She stood up for herself and her friends. 

And being someone who blogs, that blogpost took a lot of homework and effort. Printscreen, cropping, arranging the pictures, captions OMG I WILL DIE.
Taken from Xiaxue's blog
Most importantly I think she stood up for a lot of people out there who were being cyberbullied. If you did not do anything wrong, stand up for yourself! People go overboard with their words now because they think that they are safe in the virtual world. They can say whatever they want and there would be no consequences. Well take that! They should feel shameful for commenting such words online where everyone gets to read.

I can go on all day but I just rescroll and realized that this post is effing long so I am gonna stop here.

For those who hasnt read her blog, please do so. Give it some time and you will slowly love it. For those who once has a misconception of her blog, reconsider. And as for those who doesn't like to read her blog, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU READING THIS POST TO THE END?
