Anyway, check out my new wristlets from Carlo Rino!

I love love love love love these two wristlets ttm!

Tartan prints has never go out of fashion after so many years. Now that Christmas is coming, all the more it fits into the festive season with the green x red combination.

Tartan prints are also available in a few bag designs and wallets from Carlo Rino!

Interior of the wristlet is gorgeous too!

There are slots for the credit cards and notes, and a zipped compartment for coins! The perfect wristlet to bring for parties! Reminds me of Chanel Wallet in Chain! *atas* You won’t believe the price, it is only SGD80 at the boutiques!

The second wristlet is of a smaller size, just nice enough for my HTC phone.

No internal compartment inside, but it comes with a keychain. Good to use if you are going for something small for coins, foldable notes and a few cards.

Available in red, purple and I think cream too. What I dig most in this mini wristlet is the ribbon on the front. It makes the mini wristlet look uber sweet!

I can’t remember how much is this mini wristlet, but I think it is around the $50 range.

Nevertheless, both make good gifts for this coming festive season!

If you aren’t aware, Carlo Rino has been around for 26 good years!

Established in 1986, Carlo Rino is a division of Bonia Group, the world’s leading brand in making high fashion good and accessories from the finest materials. Synonymous with up-to-date trends, and innovative designs, Carlo Rino is a must go-to brand amongst young cosmopolitan ladies.

As one of the fastest growing brands, Carlo Rino is set to take the fashion scene to another level with its exciting and unique range of products that are classic, yet fashionable and contemporary.

Carlo Rino is now available in countries such as Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

Many years ago, I have always thought the brand targets more on all the mothers. Guess I was wrong. Carlo Rina has lately (I notice this 1-2 years ago) come up with some trendy designs for the young adults. Their designs are no longer all about brown and beige, but into colourful pink, red, white and more!

I received my first Carlo Rina bag recently, it was a present.  

I am a fan of bags, am willing to splurge on bags, especially leather-made ones. I love bags so much that it has come to my mind that I am like collecting bags! So many bags which I’ve bought, I tend to use a few times and keep them protected and clean in the wardrobe, simply because I love them so much that I can’t bear to use them! Oh well~

What I love about my Carlo Rino (CR) bag is how easily I can pair it with my dresses, for work or date.

CR bag with Plain & casual outfit in pastel colours:

CR bag with a bright red dress:

CR bag with yellow dress x pearly x bling detachable collar:

CR bag with blue dress:

See, no problem with any colours matching my CR bag!

I love the soft leather texture of the bag, nice to hug during my sleepy train rides. And it sure can hold alot of my barang baran like bag organizer, camera, portable battery charger, mobile phone, cosmetics pouch, cardigan etc.

Ribbon Tote Bag from Danxuan.livejournal.com

Fan of tote bag?

Here’s one tote bag which I have received from Danxuan! I totally dig its size because  my bulky laptop can fit in! No longer have to carry the black thick bulky laptop bag!

Measuring  30cm (L) x 27cm (H) x 10cm (W), it’s spacious inside!

I am able to stuff in my barang barang without having the bag looking bulging out here and there.My barang barang consists of bag organiser, makeup pouch, camera, 1.5cm-thick cards holder, packets of tissue and wet tissue, bug bunch of keys, portable mobile battery, mobile phone, etc.

And surprisingly the handle is able to withstand the weight of my laptop so far.

The handles and compartments are all neatly sewn, and this maybe the reason why it can withstand my laptop weight.

I love the gold-plated ribbon attached on the bag. It adds a girly feel to the tote bag.

Made of faux leather which somehow turns out to be pretty soft after a few times usage.

Loving the depth of the ribbon tote bag. Inside has two open compartments and a zipped compartment.

Initially, I have thought I would have problem matching the bag with my outfits because of its colour combination. But it turns out it’s not that difficult at all!

Because of the cream, I paired with a daffodil yellow dress.

The bright colours of the Ribbon tote bag brings out a cheery feel to dull colours outfit, black x taupe


That’s my mum behind me. She must be wondering why I was so vain to camwhore in public!

The colours really standout from my dull outfit of the day.

Then I went to try pairing my Ribbon tote bag with a nautical outfit, blue x white.

I purposely picked this tunic top with a huge velvety designed ribbon to pair with my Ribbon tote bag!

It was like a ribbon outfit day for me that day!

Ribbon tote bag will be launched in Danxuan Ribbon Affair on tomorrow, Friday, at 10am! Available in two colour combinations. Don’t miss the launch!

[I Love Dressing Up!] Tori dress from Smooch

This is an old buy but I think it’s worth my time to give it a rave.

See the unique fake 2-piece backview? Yes it’s fake, it’s a 1-piece dress. I love how the design is revealing the back, and that’s the first reason why I bought it.

The shoulder cut-out which also gives the idea it’s a 2-piece dress is another plus point why I bought it.

With the cutout here and there on the dress, I see no point in adding too many bling and accessories for this outfit, I will rather have the attention on the cutouts than accessories.

Matching my peachy dress with a super bimbotic pink bag!

I think I look not bad la! *thick-skinned*

[I Love Dressing Up!] Outfit of the Day with my new Quilted Sling!

As usual, I am still actively doing online shopping, just that I have narrowed down the long list of blogshops to a shorter list. :)

My top favourite is Smooch. I truely enjoyed my blogshopping with them, mainly because of the easy payment. I don’t use Ibanking and Paypal option at Smooch really gives me alot of convenience.

One of my favourite dresses from Smooch is Delia Tiered dress. I bought the one in cyan, which sorts of add some brightness to my wardrobe.

My guy and mum have almost thought it’s a 2-piece dress.  Well, this is what I like in the dress: It brings out a little different from what it’s supposed to be like!

Anyway, to make my outfit looks more cheery, I paired it with a carousel necklace bought during my TW trip last month. The carousel necklace was in gold plated chain with some blue which matched pretty well with my cyan dress.

To complete my outfit, I picked a sling bag which also has some little gold plated metals.

I didn’t think I looked over doing it, did I?

Black bag never goes wrong with any outfit! I totally dig my new black quilted bag from Danxuan.livejournal.

Quilted design is one of the designs which has yet to go out of trend for the past few years. Somehow it brings out a soft touch of elegance to bags. Oh yes, it comes in those soft faux leather material. :)

Going out without a bag? I cannot!

I have quite abit of small miscellaneous items to put into my bag whenever I go out! And these excludes my makeup pouch. It’s so not nice to keep carrying bulky fat bags.

But with my new quilted sling bag, I was able to dump all my necessary stuff inside it!

The bag looking BIG? Not really~!

It doesn’t have a wide base but its length and moderate height makes it very usable.

There are a total of 3 small compartments by the sides, one of them is zipped.

Dumping all my barang barang inside…

The sling bag also has a zip for closure, to avoid the items from falling out.

And despite so many of my barang barang, the bag can still be zipped without bulging here and there!

Quality of my quilted sling bag is extremely good. All stitches and sewing are neatly done with no thread fraying.

Another way of carrying the  bag is ….

I just have to push the straps into the bag, zip it up, and carry it like a clutch!

That’s how versatile the bag is!

My quilted sling bag is retailing at SGD25, comes in 4 colours.

More details on my quilted bag can be found at Danxuan.livejournal.

Other than pairing it with blue and a little gold, I have also tried pairing it with beige/pink, a casual outfit which I own recently. Pink blouse and crochet shorts are from Taipei while my sandals are bought from Hong Kong.

I didn’t think I look too weird, perhaps a little too casual. Then again, that day was a hot day, I just had to wear something light and comfy. So I didn’t really pay much attention in colour matching.

This time, my necklace was in rose gold, from MyLittleBow.

It’s not my first time dealing with MLB, fast and efficient are why I go back to them. :)

That’s all for this blogpost! It has been a.long time since I blog about my shopping buys and dressing up stuff. Hope to have time for more of these later on!
