Lovebonito Philly Pochette Blue






This handbag is really cute. The material is quite soft. I love the sling which comes with leather on the shoulder part. Lovely bag for a casual day out.

Lovebonito Garcia Flats Gold





This pair of gold flats arrived just in time for the festive season. I love gold flats as I think they go well with almost anything. This pair of flats fits me very well. I am a CK 37 and I wear size 37 for this pair. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Megagamie Upcoming Denim Dress in Light & Mid Wash (Scoop review)

(Original posting by Zenith Angel on http://bestofshopping.livejournal.com/ )



Material for this dress is soft. Not those stiff denim but more of a cotton denim. The difference between Size S and M is not that much. Maybe about 1 inch. M would be a better size for me to camo the tummy area without being too loose. Would advise you to refer to the measurements provided before launch and not size up depending on your preference and whether you’re like me with a need to camo the tummy area. Straps are adjustable and dress comes with discreet back zip. No lining for this dress. The embroidery at the bottom of the dress does not extend to the back. If you need more casual flattering pieces you may consider getting this dress.
There was dark wash on the racks also. Dark wash came with bright yellow coloured embroidery.
This dress came with $37.90 pricetag at Kissjane.

LoveBonito - Olivia Maxi (Review Showdown)

(Original posting by Vera on her personal blog http://fiorella-rain.blogspot.sg/ )



Super love for this maxi hehe, love the cut-in design at waist with the twist of knot.
Simple and casual as it seems, you can dress up or down.

Made of stretchy cotton.

No lining but no problem with sheerness as long as you wear light coloured undies for light coloured clothings (heather grey).

VPL, seamless undergarments recommended.

As for sizing, Size S fits great and comfortable for me.
I am 1.6m and the length of the maxi is perfect. No alteration required.

I absolutely love it especially the cut out sides!! Best of all, I didnt have to alter the length for XS :)
LB's maxi dresses are usually much longer for my height (157cm)
Was a tad slow in getting the black piece so if there's anyone keen to sell, do holler ;)

Love Bonito Rhoton Tee (Review Showdown)





I was a bit disappointed when I opened the package. To me, the colour of the top is "dull" crimson, not those normal crimson colours. Although the top is made of cotton-jersey, it is unlike the material of LB's Taffie Top which is also made of cotton-jersey and which I much prefer.I think this top is overpriced at $27. Nonetheless, I will still keep it.

Basic statement top that matches ANY bottom!
Chose white because of the versatility.
No double lining.
Slightly sheer hence nude undergarment is highly recommended.
XS fits great.

Lovebonito Mischel Maxi Maroon


 

I am so into maxis recently. I chose maroon as it is quite a unique colour. Size s fits me well and length is good for me. (I am 1.63m, a UK 8). Nothing much to complain about this dress. The maxi is good to wear on lazy days when I do not know what to wear.

LoveBonito Danessa Blouse Cobalt (Review Showdown)


 

I bought this blouse as I needed a simple top for everyday wear. This top did not disappoint me, it is definitely an all-purpose blouse as I can wear it to work by pairing it with a pair of pencil skirt or pants and dress down by pairing it with shorts. I like the folded sleeves. The material of this blouse - thick crepe - feels rough to the tough. The blouse is non-sheer.

Size s fits me well. I am a UK 8.

Absolutely loving this top! Its not filmsy, and there's a matte zip at the back of it. Available in three colours, cobalt, black and hot pink. True hot pink it is! Material is great, crepe chiffon which is like my malory romper! Though not lined, its not sheer in my opinion. Versatile top that can be worn tucked in for a corporate, smart look and tucked out for a lazy day out. I like that the sleeves is folded up, length wise just nice too. Got it in XS since the ptp of 16 fits me. Though priced at $27, it's a bit steep for a basic top but for the quality, its worth it. Hoping that the colour won't run when I wash it.

Love Bonito Hillary Heels (Review Showdown)

(Original posting by shopaholic mama on her personal blog http://shoppingismymiddlename.wordpress.com)


Wine is absolutely gorgeous!!!! More liked burgundy; a classy color :) Was deciding between black & wine. The reason why I cart out wine is because of the outstanding color. Black is a bit blah for me :X
Its made of suede material so have to be careful not to step on puddles.
Am I the only one who is glad that the cap toes are patent material instead of metal? Metal cap toes are so stiff & painful to walk in :(
The height of the heels are not very high. More liked a kitten heels. A good news for people liked me who want to add inches to their heights without the need to struggle in suicide heels LOL

Topped up for reg mail, so I received it pretty quickly! Couldn't wait to try it on once I got it! Hehe, the wine colour is exactly the same as the Fanning Flats' and so is the muted gold cap. The only diff is that this is heeled! 3" to be exact, as said on the LB site. 

The measurements were 0.25" bigger than the flats so I just decided to stick with the same size, 38. Usually people would size up for heels right? But these are already longer/bigger, so the same size would do! Actually I think it's a little too big for me? But not too big that my foot would come out when walking. (Honestly, I don't know. I have to actually wear them out.)

No problem even if it is a little too big. One can always head down to Watsons/Guardian and look for a heel grip, to put inside the shoe at the back. That would make the shoe fit better!

Hehe, red & gold. Really gorgeous. I have a friend who says this reminds him of the Thai dancers' nails, yknow those long gold ones they put on when they perform? AH HECK, I love my gold capped heels.

Please don't ask me how comfy they are! Seeing as how they're heeled, and pointed in front. I don't think any person with normal nerve functions would be able to walk the entire day in them. Or half a day, for that matter. (At least I can't. If you can, good for you!)

Hope my post will help those who are indecisive of joining the BO for the Hillary Heels. 
Size fits exact as to Pedro Sizing. :) 

Made of suede material and the heels is padded. 
Haven really walked around in the heels, but its really quite nicely done. perfect height to walk ard with. :)

LoveBonito - Sigur Tweed Skirt (Review Showdown)

(Original posting by on her personal blog http://fiorellarain.blogspot.sg)




Super love for this skirt. 
I would definitely choose this over the Miranda Peplum Skirt because this skirt is what I've been looking for!
1. Length - I love the length, I find the length for Miranda peplum skirt slightly too long. However Miranda is great for work. The Sigur skirt might not be suitable for work though as it's on the shorter side, most probably more suitable for dress down Friday(s) and play-days. But a peplum skirt looks more chic when it's shorter! (personal opinion)
2. Fit - True to size, fits great. It is a little stretchy. 
3. Comes with back zip, no lining. But I don't find it sheer. Unless under strong light.
I like how LB hides the sight of unsightly elastic band at waist.

I like the LB Sigur Tweed Skirt (XS) much more than the Miranda Skirt just because it is thicker and has a non-pleated peplum skirting. It is definitely more figure flattering for slim silhouettes and provides more shape. Colour-wise, I'm not sold on the Purple. To me it seems more of a dark grey and has blue undertones, rendering it a more of a cool than warm colour. If I had known earlier, I'd have opted for the Green piece instead. Similar to all other LB tweed items, this one also has multi-colour thread sewn all over.

Usually took Size XS for LB clothes, but this time I chose to get size S because of the measurements given on the website. The sizing of the skirt is slightly smaller than the Miranda skirt, so it's wise to size it up for added comfort to the tummy. Fits the same as my miranda skirt in XS. Besides, the material is quite stretchy but doubt it'll expand much. Doesn't come with inner lining so light can possibly penetrate through your skirt haha.. but don't worry I doubt it will show much. Don't know why it's not sold out yet. I think it's quite a great piece to own, be it dress down or up.

Lovebonito Greige Throwover Black





I was looking for an outer wear for the cool weather when I saw LB's preview of this throwover and I knew I had to get one. This throwover is made of crepe chiffon which feels rough to the tough. I do not like the pads at the shoulders and so I removed them. (The photos show the throwover with the pads). The throwover is easy to match and goes well with outfits for the weekdays and weekends.
