Trendy Confessions - The Plus Size Store

Today's review is about Trendy Confessions. They are a online shop selling plus size clothes. Dresses, blouses, pants and skirts. 


Trendy Confessions are run by 2 sisters back in 2008 aiming to give plus size women out there trendy looks. They have a facebook page (Trendy Confessions FB page) but the main site running is their website here --> Trendy Confessions.

And from their cover pic, you can see that they are going to have plus size corsets soon! This is surely exciting especially for the plus size women out there. It is so difficult to get plus size corsets! Can't wait to see the launch!

Here are some 'about them' details taken from their facebook page. Their clothes are featured in Blurry Boutique in Bangsar for those who wants to have a look.

Some details about Trendy Confessions found on their facebook page

They take order via email. You can also leave comment on their facebook pictures and they will respond. They provided their handphone number as well in case you needed to contact them. Some buyers can be very 'gan cheong' when it comes to their purchase.

I like the styles they have. It is not those lame moody dull outfits. They have plenty of colours, prints and stripes. It really do justice for the plus size women out there, proving that everyone can have fun in fashion and be bold!

Here are some of the captures of their website. I myself prefer to view it via facebook because the pictures are bigger. It is more convenient as well. Or maybe I have become so lazy to click on another tab. HAHAHA.

Bird's eye view of the collections

Individual view of the dress

Prices are of course slightly more expensive. I think it is priced fairly considering the prices out there for plus size clothes can be quite expensive.


Besides that, i like that they modelled the clothes as well. 


It is good to know that there are blogshops out there to cater other women and not just the stick thin anorexic models wannabe. 


If you happen to be a plus size, do try them out!

Zavia Valora

This is an overdue post. I know I promised to blog about Zavia Valora but it has been delayed! So here it is now.

They are really new in the scene, not even 100 likes on their facebook page. Well, I am a bit tired of the major big ones so I decided to try the 'underdogs' now. HAHA

Zavia Valora runs via their facebook page here --> Zavia Valora

I just recently got to know them through one of my readers. I liked their facebook page, received a RM5 voucher. 

I browsed through their pictures and saw some dresses that I really liked. I decided to tryout, used my voucher and picked 2 dresses.

Paid via Maybank2u. FREE POS LAJU DELIVERY. Received my parcel and was happy!

Here are the 2 dresses that i bought from Zavia Valora (such a long name, so tiring to type)

Dresses from Zavia Valora

Loving this mesh top dress because of its design. See the waist part? It has a small lining there so it gives a better illusion for the waist to look small. The lining works like a small belt as well, and if you want to spice up the outfit, you can match a belt!  

Mesh Top Blue Dress from Zavia Valora

Besides that, the two small flip designs on the left and right is like a slight peplum but not totally. That is really good to cover up tummy fats! Well, we need all these small detail designs to help us look better!

Editted using another filter so the blue colour looks more obvious

The other dress is a stripe one. I picked it because I am totally loving the stripes trend right now. Too many people are into polka dots, a bit dangerous.


This cutting is TO DIE FOR!


The zip that runs across the chest gives it a very sexy look. The material is slightly thin but it works well because it is more figure hugging. It looks as though the cutting is quite simple but it is not. When you put it on, it totally gives you a S shape bodyline. 

Stripes normally makes people look fatter but because of the fabric of this dress, it does not. It actually helps you to look slimmer!!!! And the zip~~oh la la~~~ can just slide it down and look real sexy. Very convenient when you are out on a hot date. *ifyouknowwhatimean*

As I was happily touching my new dresses, I found a Surprise !!!!!


I got a free mask! Well, apparently if you spend RM100 and above, you are entitled to a free mask! Its a My Beauty Diary mask and damn it, it is a new series. I have never seen this in Malaysia or Singapore so I am really happy to receive it for FREE.

My Beauty Diary 2 step Mask. Free from Zavia Valora

I will review the mask soon! Though I don't know why I received a AFRICA HYDRATING PACK. Maybe its because Malaysia is as hot as AFRICA now. 


Check out Zavia Valora. I have to admit that I think their older pictures are not that nice but the latest updates are so pretty! You get both views, mannequin view and real person view. Loving the soothing green wall as background as well ;)

ASOS Cut Out Dress - Doublewoot, Attire Attic and IIvory Couture!

Thanks for the feedback. I know this will annoy most blogshops but readers love it and competition is important for consumers to get the best deals out there!


Here is one lovely dress sold on 3 online sites and all selling at different prices:-

IIvory Couture - RM60.00

Doublewoot - RM67.00

Attire Attic RM64.00

Attire Attic - RM64.00

As usual Doublewoot wins by selling it at the most expensive price, do note however that they give free poslaju delivery on purchase for RM100 and above. That means you need to buy another dress from them!


Cheapest is IIvory Couture! No free delivery though! So if you take poslaju, you will need to top up extra RM6 or RM7 making the dress total cost to be RM67.00. Same price as Doublewoot selling price but you do not feel obliged to buy another dress to get free delivery *winks*


Attire Attic doesn't give free delivery as well unless you are purchasing 5 pieces and above (which is not quite possible unless you love a lot of their dresses)


You can easily search Doublewoot on facebook or their website.


IIvory Couture runs solely via Facebook.


Attire Attic is still very old school! BLOGSPOT! GO BLOGSPOT!

Daphne Iking in Doubewoot Dress - A Copycat Design

So I was chatting with my girl the other day, browsing through online sites and this topic came up about local celebrities wearing knockoff or copycat designs.


This was because we saw Doublewoot's facebook posted a picture of Daphne Iking wearing one of their dresses known as the Cartney Spot Peplum.

Doublewoot's own Cartney Peplum Dress

Then it came to me that, one of our local celebrities is actually wearing something which is a copycat design? Isn't that a bit embarrassing? Imagine that picture of hers were published in foreign websites, fashion critics will surely know that it is not a genuine Stella McCartney dress!


For those who are constantly up to date in fashion, they will know that the design was from the famous designer Stella McCartney. Her range of polka dot mesh dresses were a big hit, spotting several high profile celebrities and models wearing them. Here are some of them for your understanding:-

Stella McCartney Fall 2011

I think it is okay for general people or also known as the public like us to be wearing affordable (don't want to be saying cheap cause some people might get sensitive and send me hate mails) knockoff designer dresses. But for celebrities, I don't care if you are a local celebrity or international, it doesn't look good! It is like carrying a fake designer bag to classy events where tonnes of people will be carrying genuine designer bags!

Here is our Daphne Iking attending a public event wearing a copycat design =(

I think it is abit disrespectful to the designer as well. Being a celebrity and constantly under the spot light, one should know better than to carry themselves well. 


Wearing copycat designs not only shows how much respect you have for the designer, but it also showed how much respect you have for fashion. 


I am ashamed if Daphne Iking represents Malaysia in events wearing a copycat design! If you can't afford to wear a Stella McCartney, at least wear something from local designers. You can promote Malaysia designers, be proud of your country and for the least, show that you are smart in fashion!


Anyone thinks the same?

Fashion Feed - Harper Beckham

Everyone! 


Look how much Harper Seven Beckham has grown! Totally loving the cute cross back dress on her and the small little sandals!

Victoria Beckham herself with a sling back. A rare pick but it surely fits her considering she needs her hands to be free for little Harper! Crazy wedges too!

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

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
