FASHION, Shopping PLAYING DRESS UP @ SHOPTHEMAG.COM 5 December 2011

If you’re a bit of a fashionista, you’ll have heard of Net-A-Porter. Now, there’s shopthemag.com which is the same concept but features top Asian designers. They’re an online store that ships worldwide (free this month with code SHIPFREE), but also have a showroom in their office in Singapore if you want to drop by and check out the items in person. I popped in one afternoon to check out their goodies and to have a bit of a chat with the lovely ladies working there.

It’s a bit of a treasure trove in the showroom, which you’ll absolutely love if you like playing dress-up. So many pretty clothes, sparkly jewellery and chic bags! Check out the Tan & Brown magenta leather clutch below, the colour and feel of the leather was simply luscious.

 

I also love their assorted beaded bracelets from Jewel Rocks. So colourful and casual work with jeans!

 

This below is their Burgandy cross-back silk maxi dress and OMG IT IS DIVINE! It looks like a modern take on a Grecian dress, and is ultra soft and luxe, with the most divine drape. I love how delicate it looks, yet not too ‘naked’ looking because of the length of the dress. I’d wear this for shopping in the city, or dressed with a little gunmetal bolero for a dinner.

 

I also really liked the Burgandy silk button-up playsuit. It’s made of a smooth silk twill and in a very chic navy, offset with matte gold buttons. It’s simple yet elegant, and I really liked it paired with my Repetto kitten heels (which I’m wearing in the pic).

 

And I know the below pic looks plain, because it’s hard to capture with an iPhone camera, but my #1 favourite item in the whole store is the Alldressedup 2-in-1 sparkly oversized top. It is SOFT SOFT SOFT!! Thanks to the modal material, it has a gorgeous drape, is super smooth, and I feel in love with the shimmer and gold trim. The fabulous thing is that it’s actually 2 tops (look closely at the pic below), so it can be work in reverse, or with each top worn separately. That’s like FOUR outfits for the price of one 😛

I paired this with their Disaya scalloped shorts. Never thought I’d be into nude shorts, but the pretty scalloped detailing caught my attention. The silk was really smooth and the waistband sat perfectly on me.

 

Man, if only I had an unlimited clothing budget or magical source of income! I’m still working on this one.. If you’ve managed to crack the nut already, please share 😉

Noooo what are you doing to me! Everything looks amazing. Especially the maxi dress – the coral is so pretty with your colouring.
