I find the shape of an A-line skirt truly romantic, flattering on all body shapes and its ability to cast a touch of femininity to even the grungiest looks simply ingenious. That alone has beguiled me into buying this bronze Nichii skirt that is absolutely smooth to the touch. Believe it or not, I already had mental images of this skirt becoming the next best friend of my wardobe before even making the purchase.

Pairing with all of my favourite items together: lace top, oxford heels, crossbody bag and colourful stackable bracelets; scepticism took the better of me initially but by not conforming to de rigueur of fashion, I find that I actually surprised myself when they somehow work together. Admittedly, I was having a fashion greed moment that day, which wasn't such a bad thing after all until the security guard came to chase me off thinking I wasn't a resident in the neighbourhood, and worse, thought I was doing some commercial photography without permission.

What are your thoughts on my outfit? Would you rock an A-line skirt? How would you style it? If you know of other places to shop for similar items I'm wearing, do share with me.

Bargain Hunt

When I was informed by my colleague of a fashion bazaar happening in town, I psyched myself up for the madness that was about to happen. Perhaps, it's because when I think of bazaar, I think of women fighting and snatching over reduced-priced merchandise, much like a scene in the film, Confessions of A Shopaholic. In contrast, the 10th installation of Markets @ Jaya One, Petaling Jaya held yesterday was far from what I envisioned - no pushing and snatching but the heat was putting me off.

To be honest, the apparels on sale were not as cheap as I thought they would be, though many were very funky and different from those sold in the highstreet. If you're looking for street style fashion items, the Markets had lots of that, given over 50 vendors were online fashion stores. The jewelry on the other hand, were great buys, so I ended up buying five items for a total of RM55!

For those who didn't make it to the bazaar yesterday, look out for the next one as it happens every quarter of the year. But if you can't for wait it, you could grab some cool stuff from their online stores instead. Here is the complete list:
