Pump-ed Up Collection!

You girls would have known by now we are launching todayyy! :)
Pretty excited for the launch cos it's something we've never tried before.
TCL has always been the girly and feminine style to many, and in this Lookbook, we went with a different styling and direction!

I'm personally very pleased! :D :D :D
Styling was done by yours truly, it's not hard to tell with all the chunky necklaces and trainers wedges right? Cons is so versatile who's able to carry off any style. It may not be her everyday style or something she'd personally don on, but she just makes them look so good.
Our gem seriously. :p

Hahha, and talking about this, i've been on a trainers wedge spree (OMG so in love with it really!) and i got our supplier to source for them, and violaaa, it's coming to TCL soooon!

I'm starting off with photos we shot but didn't use for our lookbook!
We didn't manage to capture any BTS due to some "happenings" at the shoot.
But thank god everything else went well! (:
TCL Tribal Loafers in Blue/ Red
Available in S35 - S40
Model Cons is a S37 and wears size S37

S35: 9"
S36: 9.25"
S37: 9.5"
S38: 9.75"
S39: 10"
S40: 10.25"

People following us close enough would find this familiar!
Bert got them in London awhile back and we thought it was a pretty design to share, so here you have it; TCL version! It's almost similar to her original though! I'm loving the aztec fabric used, and those tassels are so cute!

TCL Embroidered Frayed Denim Shorts
Available in mid or mineral wash, in sizes Xs - Xl
Model Cons wears size Xs
(White tee paired can be found here)

Size XS measures 12" mid-waist across, 16" hips, 12" down, 9.25" rise, 10.5" leg opening, fits Uk 4
Size S measures 13" mid-waist across, 17" hips, 12" down, 9.25" rise, 11" leg opening, fits Uk 6
Size M measures 14" mid-waist across, 18" hips, 12.5" down, 9.5" rise, 11.5" leg opening, fits Uk 8
Size L measures 15" mid-waist across, 19" hips, 12.5" down, 9.5" rise,  12" leg opening, fits Uk 10
Size XL measures 16" mid-waist across, 20" hips, 13" down, 9.5" rise, 12.25" leg opening, fits Uk 12

The neat and intricate embroidery work blew us away~
I don't think we've launched any manufactured embroidered items with such awesome work!
The length may be a tad short for girls who are not comfortable with short shorts, but the trick is to just size up so it would loose less tight! That's what one of our pixies did! 3 of the pixies kept this so i'm pretty sure you girls would love it just as much! The denim used is pretty thick with minimal stretch, so do refer to measurements for best accuracy! :)

TCL Sleeveless Parka 
Available in olive, black or off-white, in sizes Xs - Xl
Model Cons wears size Xs
(White tee paired can be found here)

Size XS measures 18" ptp, 25" down, fits Uk 4 - 6
Size S measures 19" ptp, 25.5" down, fits Uk 8
Size M measures 20" ptp, 26" down, fits Uk 10

I SUPER SUPER LOVE THIS! <3
I sent in my personal piece for manufacturing and made some changes to it!
The original didn't have a waist tie, so we added this for that added curve factor, since it helps to accentuate your waist line. We also changed the studs to those which are less spikey! This parka is made of linen and definitely suitable for the weather here! I'm so in love with it i kept it in all colors, so i've 4 pieces of this including my original, hahaha. 

If you're intending to get TCL Embroidered Frayed Denim Shorts or TCL Sleeveless Parka, consider getting it in a set cos it matches oh-so-well together. My honest opinion! I've personally paired it this way too, you can read more HERE! :)

Parka in black, and the QT Cons!
Cons usually give people this "atas" or high society aura, but she's someone with all sort of expressions really, haha. 

And in off-white! :)
In case you're wondering, it's made of linen blend.
Linen is quite an expensive fabric in the market so it's gonna be worth every penny!
If you gotta ask me for my pick, i'd pick the white anytime cos it isn't easy to find a white outer piece, so it's something rare. I kept the white only initially with the help of self restriction, but the fab cut and comfort level made me keep all colors in the end. Must get this okie? Super chic and an instant dress up look over your tees and denims! (:

Just a heads up that item is meant to be worn loose and slouchy! :)
I notice how some people will get items based on their usual ptp, whether it's meant to be worn loose or tight, and end up emailing us for an exchange. Measurements for outer pieces are generally larger to get the "feel" when worn, so don't get the wrong size! :)

TCL Floral Darling Top
Available in purple or orange florals, in sizes Xs - L
Model Cons wears size Xs

Size XS measures 13.5" - 15.5" ptp, 18.5" down, fits Uk 4
Size S measures 14" - 16" ptp, 19" down, fits Uk 6
Size M measures 16" - 18" ptp, 19.5" down, fits Uk 8

We fell in love with this fabric at first sight!
Because the florals are already all over, we didn't want to make it too complicated or "cheena" looking, we did it in a basic cut! It isn't too long nor too short, just the right length to pair with high and mid waist bottoms. If you're wearing it with a low waist shorts, be prepared to show some skin! :p Just a tiny whinny bit! It's made of cotton polyester blend, really stretchy! :)
Bert kept this piece and has worn it a couple of times, you can probably sneak a peek on her instagram!

Our Lookbook photos below!


The full sneaks are up on Facebook and we're giving away TCL vouchers!
So go on and share the loveee! <3

I hope this short post will help you girls with your doubts! :)
Pop me a question if there's anything you wanna ask! (:

PS: Please do not ask me about measurements as i do not have them now. I'll put it up once i've gotten them. I'll be glad to advise base on UK sizing. Thank you! :)

I'm sure everyone knows what a scrub is right?
This scrub is gentle enough for everyday use and works effectively for combination skin! 
It contains exfoliating microbeads for a deep cleanse.
It helps to unclog and tighten the pores to get rid of blackheads and other impurities.
The combination of grapefruit, pomegranate and Vitamin C extracts effectively cleanses and energizes to achieve a radiant glow, while the Salicylic Acid protects the skin from pimple growth. 


Pure Active Fruit Energy Daily Energizing Gel Wash (Right)
The foaming gel formula of the gel wash is specially formulated for combination to oily skin. It comes with a fruit scent that invigorates the skin for a fresh start to the day! It also eliminates the impurities responsible for blemishes, and at the same time reducing excessive oil production and minimizing enlarged pores!

 Thank you to these girls, who have helped us tremendously over the last months!!
Janelle, who's a busy student, busy as in 24/7 busy, stay in school until wee hours!
Was supposed to "quit" after 6 months but still continued to help us whenever she has free time, though she can really use that time to rest or catch up with other things. She's the one whom you'll receive email replies at weird hours, haha.
Xinmei, who worked an extra week for us cos we were short of manpower, who updates us with exciting news and whatnots, haha. Our one and only power packer cum stalker!
And Huiee, who has a secret love for naked Santa, haha.
Another awesome packer. If not for her, i dont think our parcels would have managed to reach you girls.
MEGA LOVE YOU ALL OKAY! <3
And XM who left for an awesome full-time job!
Only been a week or so but i'm missing her already! :( 
 Christmas pressies and cards for them, which took me damn long to get, cos idk what to get for them! Made at least 3 trips to town before deciding on what to get, kuazhang max!
So glad they liked what we got for them, hehee.

Supper with Pris & Bert

A super impromptu supper!
I was messaging Pris that afternoon and coincidentally both of us fell asleep at the same time.
Woke up and saw her message for supper, messaged Bert who was already on the way home but came nonetheless! Spontaneous FTW! :D 

Pris was craving for Korean food so we headed to one of the restaurants at Chinatown area!
 
 This was dabombzzz.
The ramen/maggi or whatever it is is damn awesomeeee!
