Disappointing shopping trip

Hello my darlings,

I am utterly disappointed at the clothing shops at Far East Plaza. It used to be the place to go to for the coolest stuff. Casual, cheap clothing that's funky and fashionable.

But what did I see tonight when I was there? The same old stuff in every single shop. It's the kinda stuff you can find being sold on the local blog shops. It bores the hell out of me: Tailored dresses, frilly tops, see through tops, over embellished tops and dresses...What the hell is going on?!

I went there with every intention to buy cool casual wear. I'm talkin, cotton tanks, ribbed or non-ribbed, with awesome prints on them. Or casual tees. But what did I find? Stuff made for women who wanna look like dolls. Come on! Even the shorts had frills and little embellishments sewed onto them.

The only cotton tanks and tees were basics/plain and the usual little miss collection and vintage prints...like those don't get old (I say that with sarcasm. It's so over. Why don't they get it? It's so, oooverrr)

So that was one disappointing shopping trip to Far East Plaza. The whole damn place screams korean fashion, come shop for dolly clothes. Ugh!

Can't say that Mango's latest collection was any different. Frills, lace, tailored dresses, flower prints, ribbons, bows! MORE LACE!!

Looks like the lace, frills, bows and hideous flower prints are here to stay...for another season at least.

I've definitely seen enough of those....will someone please pass me a plastic bag? I feel sick.

Ciao my dears. - love, SB

The Topshop wedding dress; Let's go braless!!

Hello my darlings,

I've noticed that the fashion now a days is getting way..too..girlie. I do not appreciate that. One of the main reasons being, I don't look good in such clothes. All that lace, bows, empire cuts, frills, flowers - just too over the top!
It wasn't difficult to come across the dress I now speak of. This white, lace dress sold at Topshop (left), is the prototype of what's too girlie out there.

The first thing that came to my mind – Women who are dying to get married, the type that have been fantasizing about their wedding since the day they were born, I've found your cheap alternative to an actual wedding dress, for you to play dress up with. To stand in front of the mirror with your bouquet of plastic flowers, practicing saying “I Do”. To tempt you even more, I'm pleased to announce that the dress is right now on 20% discount! :D

And I right now take pleasure to share with you that the latest thing to hang on the racks is basic, cotton, spaghetti strap tops with "built in" bras! Ladies, it's time to hang loose. I gotta say, kinda like that idea. A bra can be really annoying after wearing it for six continuous hours or so. It gets even more annoying on a very balmy, sunny day.

I can't wait for my next entry, which I swear is a fact - Revenge Of The Ugly Panties. Up next.
