[Advertorial] Style Bliss - Chic and Quality clothing!

STYLE BLISS has kindly chosen two outfits for me for this review; and I have to say that they do have great tastes!

Being the petite person I am (I am only a 157cm!), I have to say that the apparels fit me pretty well - exactly the kind of length that I fancy.

Here's Dress #1 - Dark blue dress with pokka dots.

I am not a huge fan of pokka dots, but this is truly exceptional! I was pleasantly surprised that I actually loved the look.

What I find appealing is its retro factor that comes with a touch of modernity.

Not to mention that I feel extremely comfortable with its material!

Definitely not made of thin and cheap kind - It's thick.

What I fancy most about the dress is the flexibility to adjust/design the ribbon to my liking.

A ribbon can be tied by the side, or the middle.

Smooth workmanship - Here's the zip at the back.

It was designed in such a way that it isn't really obvious when zipped.

I personally like the ribbon tied to the middle as it can be fitted to my waist. 

Making me look thinner! LOL

 Fits pretty well with a black half-cardigan, too. (That black cardi is my own's)
Suitable for office wear or to an evening date. Hmm...

Here's Dress #2 - White top with high-waist skirt

So I wore it to The Amazing SpiderMan 2 Gala Premiere. It was my OOTD as well - and I love how fitting it is (In fact, it was SO fitting that it felt like a tailor-made piece to my size. Hahaha)

In case you haven't noticed, it is a two-piece dress.

It makes a perfect office wear too, don't you think so? 

And here's me standing in front of the classic scene in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

*imagines I am Gwen Stacey*

I love how it is designed - and I'm totally diggin' the sleeves! I have extremely skinny arms, so somehow the fluffy area made them look more "pumped".

Here are some close-ups of the design so you can take a closer look of the real deal!

Do note that I don't use filters or any color changes for my reviews; so everything is captured as it is! :)

Here's the material and design for the white top:

(However, due to the "holes" design, it is essential to wear an inner singlet/)

 The material is suitable for Singapore's humid weather as well!

Located near the bottom is a beautiful pattern that somehow adds a touch of elegance tot he overall look.

And one of the reasons why the top is so fitting is due to its elasticity! :)

Don't worry that you will not be able to fit. Asian sizes should be most compatible!

And here's the close-up pic of the blue denim-like skirt that comes together with the top.

Definitely worth the price as you are basically getting two separate pieces for the price of one!

Here's the overall look, again:

(The denim-like skirt is made of thin quality and does get crumpled easily if you are not careful - but fret not as the crumpling part will go away after some time!)

If you like what you are seeing here and feel that it's not enough, do check out STYLE BLISS website for more quality apparels. With so many different choices, I bet there is something for everyone.

Online shopping VS Physical shopping

This blog entry is not an advertorial ; but just my thoughts on ONLINE SHOPPING and PHYSICAL SHOPPING.

Let's see if you do share the same sentiments... ..

Online Shopping Vs Physical Shopping

FACTS ABOUT ONLINE SHOPPING:

- You don't really feel the pain of money draining from your bank account when you make online purchases. Sounds aggressive, I know. But it's a true fact when it comes to online shopping. Come on, are you the guilty one?

- You'll tend to buy MORE than what you initially planned to. (Remember those times when you would just do a "casual" browsing at the web page, and you ended up checking out a number of items that you never thought you would need/be getting?)

- With online shopping, you can basically (or technically) shop 24 hours without being afraid of closing hours or being observed by shop assistants. All you'll need is a mouse or an "enter" button.

- Online shopping makes you lazy. At times, you don't really see the reason to go physical shopping when you can just hug your pillow and surf the net at the comfort of your own home.)

- Gone were the times when you would purchase from a physical store immediately without checking the prices online. Yes, a retail shop will not be able to beat the online prices. 

- Online shopping includes INTERNATIONAL shopping - and one does not need any air ticket to fly to that particular country to get them.

- You are able to filter your searches and look for specific items that you want ; instead of sourcing painstakingly for them in physical stores. It makes everything a whole lot easier, does it not? *smiles*

-Online shopping gives you more room for consideration. How convenient it is to read reviews before making your purchase! There is no obligation too. No hard-selling. No nothing.

Ah, I am not saying that physical shopping isn't ideal - It has its advantages, too.

A physical shopping trip can give you the utmost retail therapy you'll ever need. You will be able to touch the items physically (some shoppers like to feel them using their hands. LOL) and get them immediately off from the shelves without any waiting time. In addition, a shopping experience with family and friends is like no other! :) 

So what about me?

I guess I am a neutral - I LOVE BOTH online and offline shopping. Online shopping adds more to the "surprise" factor, and I am always excited to look forward to my items during its delivery. Needless to say, I tend to spend more online than offline. 

However, there is something that I'll not really make purchases on - and that would be SHOES. As much as I often come across OMG-SO-AMAZING shoes that I would fall head over heels with, I restrained myself from getting them as it's kinda.. risky (due to the size issue!)

Despite the fact that shoe size charts are often provided, you can never really trust them as different manufacturers have different cuttings. What you think you can fit may not be the case.(Imagine the disappointment you will feel upon the discovery that you are unable to fit into the shoes that you have been looking forward to!)
Not only that, you will not be able to test the comfort level of the shoes - which can only be known when you wear them. (And this is only possible in physical stores!)

I have read many shoe reviews from buyers who would complain of such issues. Shoes are either too big, or too small when it comes to different cuttings. So.. I guess they would be something I'll refrain from buying online!

Ah, what about you? Are you more of an online shopper, or an offline one? =P
