Online clothing shopping

As usual, I was influenced by some YouTube haul videos. Noticed there was a online clothing store www.hotmiamistyles.com that many YouTube Gurus were raving about. I thought maybe I should check it out. Guess what, I really liked what I saw. I am a very picky person when it comes to clothes. I hate loud prints and patterns. They have to be simple yet classy. To my surprise, I noticed that there were some tops & dresses that I like. There is one thing that I am a little worried about. It's the sizing. I chose small for the ones I ordered as I want to try out. If the clothes do fit, I will definitely order more. Here are some pictures of what I ordered.

White Victorian Ruffle Top
Black White Trim <span class=Racerback Top">
Orange Paisley Padded Halter <span class=Boho Dress"
I am so excited to try them out. Till next time, have a pleasant weekend lovelies!

My New Blog shop

Other than makeup and fashion designing, I love sewing, cooking & making jewelry. I really enjoy doing creative work. For the past 5 years I have been making my own jewelry. I have always been very picky with how the jewelry should look like. Thus making my own jewelry was the most feasible option. It not only saved me time, it saved me alot of money as well.

Feel a great sense of satisfaction to see my creative thoughts come to realisation.

This is my Blog shop : http://upcreations.blogspot.com/

I hope I can see my creations being worn by others. I hope I can continue this hobby without burning a hole in my pocket!
