Guest Blogger: A Bizarre Bazaar review

Surprise! :) Our Guest Blogger, Cynthia Lee, recently attended the Bizarre Bazaar @ Mist Club in Bangsar (organized by Lah'Lah'Land, superb and seasoned event organisers) - so here are some photos by Cynthia to share with YSK readers! :)

A Bazaar Review

(who is obviously too busy to shop than review)

This is what happens when alcohol is served at a bazaar =D

Another Saturday with a bazaar event - Bizarre Bazaar at Mist Club. As much as I always drive thru Bangsar I have an impression Mist Club is a body building gym for the idylic and sweaty men around Bangsar and Brickfields. It's not it seems -__-

The crowd varies today, which is good. There are aunties browsing studded tops and off-shoulder tunics. Which is good. Fashionable bazaar is not confined for yupppies the younger group only! Makciks too need to glam up OK!

All the yellow things on sale!

Yellow inspired bag | Yellow bags Yellow | Reviewer on hiatus - not for sale =D

The many trinkets to profess I Love You in a customised charmed bracelet from The Aura

Clutches and purse - from the stall at the entrance

(beep me if this is your stall so we can link you up)

Chanel lunchbox inspired bag from Sachi Mieko

My investment of the day - studs from Eff-Bombs! =D

There are many other quirky stuffs available in the bazaar which I did not manage to capture on pictures as I was again trying to look for bargain myself =D

I remember quite a few stalls (yah, I am obsessed with good and clear advertisement) like the Quirky Brown Cows with cute signage, The Vintage Steals (because someone pushed me so hard i knocked my head on the rack where the small signage is), Motte (because she offered to pick up the lace dress I dropped), Lush Serendipity ( I recognised her mom), Us Us Us (boys and girly bags, how difficult to recall =P ), Lah Lah Land ( the organiser and I tried to refrain from seeing their items as I may again spend!), Nanano Boutique (a hand appear out of nowhere while I was broowsing in her stall and she shoved me a card), MCA (with leggings of all sorts) and 2 stalls that sells cupcakes, one in a covered compartment and another in open air =D

If all bazaars were to be held in an air-conditioned club, wouldn't it be so cool and cooling at the same time! =D Hunting and bargaining is a sweaty process and definitely a cooling indoor environment would promote easy bargaining. Get it? The seller is not moody as they are not under the hot sun. Buyers are not angry as they do not need to rub shoulders with some sweaty buyers. I mean, they do rub shoulders of course, but clean cool shoulders! Ah! And the very affordable in-house pouring at only RM5! I am so looking forward to another bazaar to be held here. I think I will be able to lure an older crowd to the event shall they continue to serve drinks at that rate!

If only the crowd is a little bit more crowded, I think it would have felt like going to an Oktoberfest event =P with drinks and all! A carnival! With stars on the ceiling, people selling pretty cupcakes, boys in quirky clothing, and aggresive clothes that're set to rock the scene.

This is what I call angry fierce clothing =D

The milkmaid gone mad rock in studded corset - Sachi Mieko

The I-am-so-mad-you-can-eat-my-finger tee from Myfavouritees

Sometimes we are also bound to buy trinkets that we have no idea why is it being purchased by the impulse mind of ours. But it is so hard to resist not buying anything. It's a bazaar after all. No one leave empty handed. Must buy something! Even YSK bought something despite self-reminding not to get anything! =D

Anyway, my best purchase of the day :-

Pictured above: CynthiaTheGuestBlogger

The 'mat-rempit' key chain creatively 'piled' up by Mei of Eff-Bombs, which I think can be used in so many other ways. It's only RM8 btw! Great to get as gifts!

Due to lighting condition and the desire to shop, picture snapping was scarcely done =D. Some pictures contributed by Sha-Lene to tempt you into visiting a bazaar the next time one is organised.

Shoppers Maxi dresses (Don't forget Maxi Dress Day every year on January 7th!)

It's Maxi Dress Day!

A one-post hiatus from my hiatus -
because it's Maxi Dress Day today! :D

Dive into that wardrobe, pick out that maxi dress, and wear it!
Whether you're staying home, going out to the mamak stalls tonight,
going to college, hitting a party, lepak-ing at the mall ...
In the name of shopping kakis across Malaysia,
the multi-purpose wonder must be worn today! :D

And to get you into the spirit of this self-declared festive occasion,
here's a review on 8 maxi dresses I've managed to find online! :D
If enough of us wear it, maybe someday 7th January will be a new public holiday. :D

From Over Here RM50
I can spot the willowy goddess all the way from way over there!
Sixty inches of sheer cream-coloured heaven,
blow your audience away onstage, at the beach, at a party or at the mall!
Looking at the crocheted bust, however, I'd only recommend this for the smaller-busted.
Crochet = Not very stretchable.



From Lollysta RM59
The elusive tube maxi dresses - suitable for sizes 4 to 12
(not any bigger unless you don't mind it being tight) -
seen on our favourite Tinseltownies and in our maxi dress dreams! :D
Comes in a palette of colours for each maxilover's taste. :)



From Jazzabelle RM50
Ah, the cotton maxi dress! With a V-neck for those who dislike smocking.
Casual and comfy, yet striking enough for any occasion! :D
Last piece in tie-dye purple, who'll be the lucky girl? ;)

From femme@ellza RM49 | RM105

These peacock prints are absolutely magical!
Eyes attract eyes, so these feathered "eyes" will have all eyes on you for sure! :D
Comes with sleeves for those of us who are too shy to show our arms -
and don't feel like wearing a jacket or cardigan over. :)
Also couldn't resist throwing in that leafy BCBG Max Azria (original!) maxi into this review!



From Chaz Boutique RM55

Patchwork maxi dresses! :D You'll find that you can even make one on your own -
let the patches be as eclectic and truly expressive of your individual style!
Or maybe just buy this gorgeous one from Chaz Boutique. :P

From Lollysta RM69 - RM79
They have SO many maxi dresses to choose from! :)
A little higher-end on the pricing scale for blogshops,
but they seem to offer quality, design and length that aren't so common online.
Plus-sizers please be careful on the sizing range, most of their dresses will not fit past UK12. :)

From Winkstick RM60
Plunging V-necked maxi dresses for the sexy, slender and petite!
Comes in three shades of colour-fusion, very suitable for showing off 'em toned shoulders!

From CuCuCamber RM44 | RM43
Here's a blogshop with a soft spot for maxi dresses! :D
From paisley prints to eclectic swirls, or satin and mesh to jersey lycra and cotton -
they've got it all, and for under 50 bucks!

In love with maxi dresses yet? :D
I know I am! After all, it's Maxi Dress Day today!
If you've felt shy, or never wore that secret stash of maxi dresses in your wardrobe,
TODAY is the day to take 'em out and wear 'em out!
