[Ootds/Fashion Review]Pepperkoko SG Online Store

Weather in Singapore is getting so hot that it is time to shop for some casual lightweight clothes and I found the perfect online store, Pepperkoko Singapore, www.pepperkoko.com.sg!

This online store features a range of apparels with styles adopted from the Taiwan, Japan and Korea’s fashion scene.  I can choose from tops, skirts, dresses, bottoms, innerwear, outerwear, maternity clothes to activewear, from all seasons; with hundreds of new designs weekly.

With a budget of about S$100, I managed to buy five apparels.  Each apparel costs about S$20... this is what I termed affordability!

I chose a Suspenders Denim Overalls (OBD-AAO612) and matched with a Colourblock Star Printed Tee (OBD-AAO883) for that casual summer look.

For me, denim is a must in everyone's wardrobe.  Since the weather is hot, instead of choosing denim jeans, I decided to go for denim overalls, which also adds to the feminine factor.  At the same time, I don't have such designs in my wardrobe hence I thought this was a good opportunity to buy one.

I love this denim overalls very much because it feels so relaxed and comfortable and best part is that I can match it with different tops inside to create different looks.  It is indeed value for money!

I wanted to get a t-shirt as most of my t-shirts at home were pretty worn-out so when I was surfing the online store, I was attracted by the Colourblock Star Printed Tee because of the star cutout design on the sleeves.

I didn't want a normal look t-shirt so when I saw this, I immediately put it into my order cart.

I think this tee is the perfect match for the denim overalls as it shows off the sleeve details perfectly.

The fact that grey and blue go well together, made me decide to buy these two apparels to wear.

The next two apparels that I put together were also purchased from the online store.  They are the Dotted Ruffle Sleeves Top(OBD-AAY239) and Casual Slack Drawstring Shorts(OBD-AAY742).

I love the ruffle sleeves because they are so cute and feminine!  It adds an interesting twist to the white dotted design on the t-shirt.

Matching the Dotted Ruffle Sleeves Top with a pair of Casual Slack Drawstring Shorts(OBD-AAY742) in water green seems to be the best choice.

I love the contrast of the two colours and see how the apparels matched with my shoes too!

This pair of shorts is so comfortable to wear that you will probably see me wearing it very often.

The last apparel I bought was this Star & Paint Splashes Batwing Top(OBD-AAW926).  I am a big fan of off-shoulder type of design and where I chanced upon this online, I thought this is just so perfect for the weather in Singapore.

I love the cute design and the casual feel of this top.  At the same time, it impacts a bit of sexiness by showing just the right amount of skin.

At the same time, this top goes well with the Casual Slack Drawstring Shorts too.  Now, I can get so much mileage out of just five apparels from Pepperkoko Singapore, www.pepperkoko.com.sg!

I like the fact that Pepperkoko Singapore Customer Service keeps you informed via emails when the purchase is made successfully, when the order is being processed and when leaves the warehouse and shipped out.   This way, customers are assured that the parcels are tracked and delivered to us safely.

Currently, Pepperkoko Singapore is running the following GSS Promotions:

With such attractive deals from Pepperkoko Singapore, I am going to buy some more apparels.

How about you?  I strongly encourage you to start shopping now, as new customers will receive S$10 off with min. S$40 purchase with this promo code 'ELAINE10'.  It is definitely value for money purchase!

UNIQLO LifeWear Spring/Summer 2017

It is always enjoyable to attend UNIQLO launches as I get first hand information on the fashion trends as seen on the designs from UNIQLO.  This is a brand of Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., a leading global Japanese retail holding company that designs, manufactures and sells clothing under seven main brands: Comptoir des Cotonniers, GU, Helmut Lang, J Brand, Princesse tam.tam, Theory, and UNIQLO.

As an image consultant, it is very important for me to keep abreast of the latest fashion updates so that I can better recommend my participants where they can buy clothes for the various occasions.

Thanks to UNIQLO(Singapore) and Word of Mouth Communications, I was invited to a cozy and intimate session to preview the latest UNIQLO LifeWear Spring/Summer 2017!

I was also very lucky to have Weiling, PR Manager of UNIQLO(Singapore), who went through each collection under the LifeWear Spring/Summer 2017.  She patiently ran through all the collections available with me during the media preview so that I could have a better understanding with regards to the thoughts behind each collection.  Thanks so much, Weiling!

I have picked a set each from two collections to showcase in my IG and I got a comment from a friend saying that his wife saw the IG photo of me holding the blue jacket and she loved it so much that he is going to buy one for her.  How sweet is that!

***************** 

UNIQLO SPORT 

This line incorporates the features of sportswear in everyday apparel to make clothing functional and fashionable. This season, Uniqlo has expanded the lineup to encompass a wider range of sports that helps enhance athletic performance. 

Women can expect an injection of strong and vivid colours via new Dry EX garments (previously only available for Men) which are both functional and fashionable. The Sports Bra has also been updated based on customer feedback and now comes with removable cups.

New this season for both Men and Women is the Dry EX Ultra Stretch range. This has been developed in conjunction with Toray for the Spring/Summer 2017 collection. Toray is also the partner for UNIQLO's signature line of AIRism and HEATTECH garments.

AIRism

AIRism has become the new normal in innerwear for its lightness, smoothness and outstanding performance. 

For this season, Uniqlo responded to ongoing consumer feedback by adding deodorant functionality to the women's (AIRism bratops excluded) and Kids' ranges. 

LifeWear Wardrobe

This collection showcases a range of simple, quality items that reflect a complete attention to detail and match diverse requirements, from our Clean and Casual lines to our Active or Relax offerings. LifeWear is the fruit of an ongoing quest to make clothing more relevant and enjoyable in the lifestyles of everyone from babies through adults. 

DENIM

Jeans are synonymous with LifeWear. They are integral to the lifestyles of people of all ages, genders, nations, and backgrounds, and are an enduring element of music, art, sport and other aspects of culture. 

In order to cater to the growing needs of customers, new garment processing methods such as distressing was introduced. Wear them distressed or untouched, the choices are endless!

Stretch Skinny Fit Jeans with 360o stretch technology makes its debut this season! Men can also look forward to other newly launched styles such as Regular and Stretch Skinny Fits with damaged finishes. Women can remain stylish with all new High Rise Cropped Jeans as well as Ultra Stretch Jeans with cutoffs which accentuate leg lines and are season appropriate for a casual day out. 

Uniqlo U

At Uniqlo Paris R&D center, the global design team − led by Christophe Lemaire − is reinventing basics to be anything but basic. Clothing that transcends trends and becomes an ideal expression of who we are. Every form made for function. Every element endlessly considered. Every design thoughtfully deconstructed, tested and distilled to its most essential and sophisticated. 

UT

UTs (UNIQLO T-shirts) have become central to UNIQLO's LifeWear approach by emotionally engaging with people. Their internationally beloved content simply and directly conveys the individuality and moods of wearers. NIGO, the UT Creative Director, leverages his passion and expertise to make UT the standard for T-shirts featuring select pop culture icons from around the globe.

In its 10th season, UT returns to its art roots by featuring graphics from such leading talents as ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST FUTURA and André Saraiva. The UT range also includes the beautifully joyous patterns of ÉPICE DESIGN, deepening its role as a vehicle for pop culture enjoyment. 

INES DE LA FRESSANGE

This season's collection is inspired by the scenery of Marseilles, a French gateway to international trade and backdrop to famed motion picture Borsalino. The new lineup showcases the remixing of styles that is quintessentially Ines, combining gradations of her signature indigo with on-trend berry accents for styling that is at once nostalgic and fresh in sunshine and sea breezes.

The collection is set to launch in two batches on 27 Jan17 and 24 Feb17.

d.d collective, Designer Womenswear Label, makes its Global Debut in Singapore

Contemporary womenswear label d.d collective launches its first international boutique in Singapore, at Robinsons The Heeren. The designer ready-to-wear label will make its debut with the brand’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection.

I was very lucky to be invited by d.d collective and Bolt Industries to the media launch of d.d collective, a new-to-market label defined by directional design, premium fabrications and in-house expertise. 

Founded in 2015, the womenswear brand has quickly established itself as the go-to brand for directional yet wearable styles for the strong, confident woman. Tapping on premium fabrics and unique prints as starting points for all its collections, each d.d collective look is proudly crafted in-house — from mood board to design, pattern-making and garment construction to the finishing touches. This ethically-minded, vertically-integrated process, a rarity in ready-to-wear fashion, ensures exceptional value and quality, and an impeccable attention to detail.

I had the chance to try out some of the pieces and boy, I am so in love with them!  

Take a look at the two sets of apparels I tried that evening.  What do you think of them?

love the play of colour contrast

It is actually a two piece set hence you can mix and match with other pieces too

A romantic lacy dress with peek-a-boo effect

Seeking inspiration globally, d.d collective sources fabrications from across Europe and Asia. These stand- out materials are then transformed into intelligent designs versatile enough for the boardroom, bar or lunch with the ladies. Think 24/7 styling options that feature sharp silhouettes, for endless sartorial possibilities.

At d.d collective, the creative process is a collaborative effort. Rather than the product of any individual, it is a brand that stems from a formidable collective of designers, clothiers and other industry veterans, joining forces to produce inventive, accessible womenswear that stands the test of time.

d.d collective FW2016

Inspired by Portland-based photographer, Delaney Allen, whose affinity for depth and composition is evident in his Surrealist images, the Fall/Winter 2016 collection delves into a mix of lace, satin and contrasting prints, crafted from a medley of lush fabrics like jacquard, silk and double- faced crepe.

A cool colour palette of aquatic blues and greens is set against brights like yellow and chartreuse, combined to create contemporary street-cool looks perfect for all occasions. 

A new take on the colour- blocking trend, Fall/Winter sees the inventive mash-ups of fabrics such as a printed car coat with detachable lace trim; or a cotton wrap-around shirt with organza panels. 

Signature details reign, with draped detailing adding a sensuous twist to a girlish lace sheath or a draped neckline softening a button-down blouse. 

While bold dresses once again headline the collection, the season’s statement- making separates like asymmetric wrap skirts, sash-tie tops and relaxed-fit trousers are created to be layered for maximum impact.

Key looks for the season include the Utopia Lace Coat paired with its matching Utopia Lace Dress; the Binded Shirt, Calla Tailored Blazer, Calla Bomber Jacket, Calla Bomber Jacket and Angled Front Culottes or the Contrast Crossover Top and Verdant Draped Skirt.

Lookbook- Woman FW16

The collection will be available progressively in stores and online in August 2016.
