Daily Blogfind: Glamouree

If you are a stickler for that perfect look and be the one with impeccable taste in fashion, you should probably give Glamouree a click and look-see. :)

Cardigans are oh-so cute, no? :)

Here is an extract from the owner herself, on what made her to take the decision of starting a blogshop:

To me, fashion has always been this captivating force of inspiration allowing individuals to express themselves without having to say a single word. Being a shopaholic with way too much spare time on her hands, most of my free time is spent memorizing reading fashion magazines, scouting fashion blogs for the latest trends and dreaming of, one day, owning my own shopping mall :P All this overflowing “adventures” I have eventually motivated me to open up my own little blog shop, Glamouree, where I hope to inspire individuals with what inspires me. The shop features dresses, tops, accessories and handmade items all handpicked by me with love <3 

 We love her enthusiasm and passion in fashion no? :) Updates are expected every Friday with mini splashes of updates in between.  

Cute accessories are to be expected too! :)

And we love the fact that they are hand-made too! :)

So what are you waiting for? Go give this blogshop a click! :)

Daily Blogfind: Notbook-Nutbuk

Stationary junkies like me can cheer in glee as the featured blogshop of the day is introduced:

Notbook-notbuk

If you are a sucker for cute and customized stationaries, you will adore Notbook-Notbuk. They have absolutely the most adorable things and at the most affordable price too!

Fancy some funky planners?

Or maybe you are more of a notebook type?

A jazzed up clock to tell the time maybe? 

The main catalyst that sparked the idea of a blogshop was when owner Kricia started making notebooks as gifts for her friends. From there, it grew into something that she did quite often -she began making notebooks for herself, her relatives and friends. So why not bring it up a notch, and share her passion with the rest of the world?

Expected updates: Once or twice in a week ( or more! )

Blog URL: www.notbook-notbuk.blogspot.com

Facebook: www.facebook.com/notbooknotbuk

The prices range from a little over RM20 to as low as RM12! So students don't have to worry about it burning a whole in your wallet! ;) So scoot your cursor over to the blue link up there, and go give Notbook-nutbuk a click! It's so cute, it will be such a waste to not pay them a visit!

Trends: Capes

Disclaimer: Kleio does not own any of the following pictures. If any of these pictures are yours and you feel uncomfortable with them being posted here, do email us and we will remove them asap!

Capes: Hero or Zero?

It's hard to distinguish between true style and just another trend. Fashion is a form of art -it is subjective and open to debate. To each their own style -you can be chic, punk or even Bohemian chic. But every now and then, all these styles meet up and a new trend is born.

Trends are usually sparked by celebrities strutting them on the streets where the public eye is watching their every step. So what is the current trend of the season?

Victoria Beckham and her usual sunnies. 

A very sleek looking Kirsten Bell.

Capes.

If you were wondering my reaction when I heard the news, it was like this: o.O

When I thought of capes, one thing usually comes to mind: 

Is it really practical? Can this trend really work? Or will it be cast aside a few months later along with the wide-legged bell bottoms and big hair? I first had an encounter with this trend when I was watching Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane. Kimora was expanding her business into England and she needed to know what was the trend there.

And yes, you guessed it. Capes.

I had a wild guess that this trend originated from there.

Well, I have to admit. These capes do add that allure and elegant touch to the overall look. As for the practicality of this trend, especially in the humid weather in Malaysia? Well, we might have to rethink twice about that.

We highly doubt that this trend will be able to find its way into our closet here in the South East Asia, but it is a good-to-know tip if anyone has any plans to go abroad this fall! 

Capes, work it like a trench coat. Our tip is to keep the tones neutral and close to earthy tones. Since the trench-cape is so dramatic already, there is hardly any need for accessories. 

What do you think?

We Girls.

What do you think of the brand new makeover of Kleio? We hope that the new look will also bring a bit more structure to make your whole shopping experience that much more enjoyable and relaxing! ;)

After Blu Collection *Newbie*

http://afterblu.blogspot.com

Summer Print

Price: RM 35

Block dresses are always an awesome essential to have. It is suitable for petites as the black band helps elongates your legs. It is much more awesome for lankier girls as it gives emphasis on your legs and makes your waist shorter and much more balanced. And wow, I do love the fresh prints on the skirt! Gives it that carefree girl look, no? And the price is such a steal too! ;)

--------------------------------------

Whitesoot

Mandarin Babydoll Dress

Price: RM45

Whilst fashion is all about the fun, we like to keep things sophisticated and timeless as well. You know those pesky shift dresses that only stick thin girls can pull off? Well don't fret, this number right here beats that statement to a pulp. With a little tug at the waist, people without supermodel figures like us can try on this timeless look too! 

--------------------------------------------

Doublewoot

http://www.double-woot.com/

The Herve

Price: RM56

So do you dare go shocking pink? This number is awesome for girls with too wide shoulders and wish to make them look a little less awkward. The straps brings the eyes straight to the long neck and the second strap keeps the whole look balanced and gives that illusion of a not-so-broad shoulders. The cutting looks pretty flattering too! What makes or breaks a garment is always depending a cutting that flatters your body shape.

------------------------------------------

Cocktails

http://cock-tails.blogspot.com/

Bohemian Safari

Price: RM70

All for drama with a flirty punch? Maxi dresses never fail to bring on the drama and glamor. And that leopard print? It brings that inner jungle cat and sexy vibe in you. This is worth the splurge if you are all for sexy without bearing too much. And this is one of the rare dresses that can pull off a full on leopard print without looking too.... erm... Jersilicious? 

--------------------------------------------


A Chic Store
http://achicstore.blogspot.com/


Polka Dots Vintage Dress- Peach

Price: RM59

I always had a thing for vintage things. And nothing screams vintage like polka dots! This quirky and care free number has such a endearing charm and appeal to it, it is hard to say no! The draping on the top of the dress helps tone down for bustier girls and adds that wind swept beach California girl! ;)

------------------------------------

Oozora Tang
http://oozoratang.blogspot.com/


ozrC_610 Reddish Spell

Price: RM58

All for floral prints? This endearing little number will give you that innocent girl charm! Though its hard to pull off such a complicated print like this, it is advisable to cinch at the waist with a thicker plain belt or a cardigan to tone it down a notch. But hey, to each their own opinion -you could wear it without the belt too! But do try not to wear any accessories at the neck area, this dress is a stand alone wonder. :)

First of Everything

Happy New Year! ;) 

You know, new year represents so many things to many different people. To most, it is the beginning of a new phase -think college days. College and school days are starting for some (myself included) and well, the major dilemma for many people are -what am I going to wear?

A friend of mine thinks that dresses are wayy to dressy for college. Well, I think you can SO strut a dress on the hallways of campus. :) Fashion is all about breaking boundaries anyways. :D

A Model Studio

http://amodelstudio.blogspot.com/

Casual Structure ams1834

Price: RM46

Forget about blending in, honey. You didn't buy a good outfit only to be forgotten five minutes later. Dresses are pretty awesome stuff. :) For college, maybe you don't want to be too flashy and be a little come off-ish. Opt for a more casual looking dress. Plus to inject a little formal feel to your outfit, a structured casual dress is perfect for the first day of college! 

---------------------------------

 Fashion Nerds
http://www.fashionerds.blogspot.com/


Circle of Elegance

Price: RM19

It is almost a blend between the retro funk and future chic! Plus side it is very easy to match with your outfit. It bubbles with so much fun and sophistication, this necklace is a definite must have! And my oh my, look at the price -what a steal. :)

-----------------------------------
All Things You Must Have
http://zulian-allthethingsumusthave.blogspot.com/


Quilted Bags

Price: RM35

Sure you have your bag packs and books and files, so you will stow them away in your locker, then what? This is where this gorgeous baby comes in. A clutch or a sling bag, style it according to your outfit! Perfect size for essentials, like stationaries, phones and little notepads. It's not only suitable for college, you can bring this baby to the streets too! 

-------------------------------------

Emcee Couture

http://emceecouture.blogspot.com/

Price: RM59

If you are feeling a tad rebellious, you can try this piece. People tell me you should dress more maturely when going to college. Feeling cheeky? Try this little number on! I love this piece because it is so sweet and demure with a tang of childhood fun! Plus, it is rebellious without being too outrageously ridiculous like Lady Gaga! It is suitable for a day out in the sun too, not just plain old college. And it brings the whole serious-college-girl look a little life and spin too! :)

-------------------------------------

Le Mode Maison

http://le-modemaison.blogspot.com/

Whitney Bodycon

Price: RM 49

Okay, fine, maybe not so much for college. But I simply love this dress! Bodycon dresses are always the best choice if you want to show off your curves and look sexy without trying too hard. And that criss-cross and slightly structured part, so Kim Kardashian. Yes?

-------------------------------------------

Oozora Tang

http://oozoratang.blogspot.com/

Bewitch Skirt

Price: RM20

Skirts are a more casual and laid back option if dresses are too much for you. Try a deep navy shade like this one embellished with a cool belt. Match with a plain top and go bold with accessories! Go with quality and not quantity! Get bold and attention seeking ones that compliment the motive of the belt. One tip if you still insist on many accessories -once you are done piling up, look in the mirror and take off the last accessory that you put on! (Yes, a wise advice from Coco Chanel herself! )
