Did i stumble upon a time machine?

because it looks like the 80's are back. Way back when our parents were young and cool, the hottest thing around was shoulder pads. Clothes back then were so heavily padded that everyone looked like an Olympic swimmer.


I'm sure most of us here has had an experience where they went through their parents' old photos or even went through their old clothes and laughed at their horrible fashion. And our parent's would either cringe in agreement or tell us, "Laugh now, but eventually this will be back in fashion and see who's laughing then!"

Well, guessed what, our parents are right. What was popular then is now making a comeback. I guess they're the ones with the last laugh.

Shoulder pads, or what we currently refer to as Power Shoulders are making a comeback. It is among one of the hottest trend in the fashion world and is a prominent feature in the collection of top designers.


And, it's all the rage here in Asia as well. All the top stars in Asia can be seen parading around in Power Shoulders. Here, popular Korean actress Yoon Eun Hye (the girl in Goong, Coffee Prince and most recently My Fair Lady) rocks the power shoulder look. She's looking all powerful and fierce in a heavily padded blazer. (Yes, I'm guilty of being a Yoon Eun Hye fangirl)


But then again, everything looks good on models and actresses. After all you can throw them a sack and they can probably make it work. But how about us mere mortals? Can we pull off the power shoulder look without looking like we raided our mum's closet (or worse, our grandma's)?

I think it really depends. If you're confident wearing it and can strut down the hallway like you own it, then yes, I'll say. But if you're only wearing it because it's the trend and everyone else is wearing it, then I'll probably say, "Leave it for the runway".

For me, I'm honestly not too fond of power shoulders but that is a personal opinion and I just think that it would not suit me. But, I can appreciate it on other people.

And the great thing is, a lot of power shoulder clothes out there are very toned down, I guess most likely to cater to people like me.

Take this simple dress for example. The emphasis on the shoulders makes this simple dress into something more special. Lady Gaga Available from Buttons and Biscotti. RM 55.

Something a little more boxy. You'll definitely stand out in the crowd in this number. Shoulder Language Rm 43 from Basic House. They stock a number of power shoulder numbers, some less dramatic than the one pictured above. Worth checking out if you're into power shoulders.

So, do you think you can rock power shouldered tops/dresses or would you rather just leave it to the models/actresses?

Leggings anyone?

Did you notice that leggings are like a separate section on online boutiques nowadays?

Pt#1 Always wear leggings or tights as they are. Do NOT wear them like pants! (Although they can be as thick and as comfy as they look)

Pt#2 Plus-sized people can rock leggings too! Just try to avoid certain patterns or materials like huge horizontal stripes and shiny/metallic/ liquid leggings. =) Always choose darker colors too.

Well, we all know that fashion comes and goes...and some would linger around for quite some time...But, there are so many types of styles we could choose from (well more for the girls and less for the boys). However, I do have a firm belief in ONLY buying clothes that can flatter your body and making you look beautiful!! Fret not as with the choices available to us today...just admit it, we're spoiled with the huge amount of choices out there =)

With leopard prints being commonly seen around, zebra stripes
are bringing in a refreshing wild look!

These zebra long leggings would look great under a black dress for dinner or a night out with your friends! Also, it's able to give you a chic look under a long top like shown in the picture =P

Comes in 3 different colours too! Get it for RM 38 from Irenelim fashion!

Are these jeans? Nope, they're "jeggings"! Yes, I heard some of
you had just moaned "NOoooo, not this please!"

Hahaha but hear me out, my personal opinion is in only getting a 3/4 denim leggings to match with long tops (remember point #1!!)

If you would like a longer one... go buy a pair of skinny jeans...
Well, cause the choices are so much better compared to the long jeggings. ^^

Ultimate-dazzle offers an unique design for only RM 15.

I totally love this look! With a different top,
one can pull off many styles, be it casual look to uni, or "beach-y" look with a halter top. Versatility! Me likey =)

I'm not too sure what to call these... but I like the idea of putting a skirt on top of leggings! Now, you don't need to look for tops that could cover your crotch anymore =P




Do Not Bleach sells this innovative piece for just RM 35.

MCA: Tights <-- closing soon! sells great quality leggings for an affordable price. Really sad that it's closing =(


Too Many Tights! (Black Milk) <--- If you have a lot of money to burn and looking for super-unique styles of tights. All the way from Aussie, bringing you both style and comfort.


*psst* even men has their own leggings which may soon hit M'sia's shelves =P "meggings" is what they're called on the net. I personally don't think it's gay or not good at all? I mean it's as comfy as pants but NOT to be worn as pants, so as long as he's wearing it correctly & comfortably, why not?

Floral Dresses

Like lace dresses, floral dresses have been around for a while. well at least long enough for me to accumulate close to 10 floral dresses, all in different styles and patterns. To be honest, when you think floral, you think spring and summer. But for us, living in Malaysia means we get to wear floral dresses year round. I knew there's some good in living in a tropical country despite the sweltering heat.

I think the main appeal of floral dresses is the cuteness. but that does not mean it's only for the girly girls. even if you're epic-ly ungirly and clumsy like me *sobs*, floral dresses can and most probably will be a staple in your closet. It gives off the impression that you're all girly and sweet even if you're not *hehe*. and plus, with the zipper trend, floral dresses are no longer just flowy and girly but can be pretty structured and I guess more edgy too.




Something frilly and flowly for the girly girls. And of course, the kimono style cut makes it very flattering for everyone. From the attires' attic






Miss Hannah RM 39



Another gorgeous flowy floral dress. I really love the pattern and the vibrant colours on this dress. And i think the pattern is something we don't see everyday.
From cocktails and martinis







Spring beauty RM 45

Something less flowy and more structured. I really love this piece and i'm almost tempted not to share it as I really want it for myself. But since I've been spending a tad too much lately I'll probably have to give it a miss *sobs* *thinks to self: hmm. it's chinese new year soon. ohoho.*
From Double-Woot






Dandelion Love RM 48

So, the question remains though, do you think floral will still be in this year? I mean if we're talking about trends we see in 2009, floral is definitely up there but how about for the new year?

I'm really hoping the trend will stay strong but for me regardless of whether it's the "IN" thing, floral will definitely still be prominent. After all, what says nice and sweet better than florals????

Lace

The lace craze has been going around for a while now, but still going strong! I am an avid gossip girl fan, and I'm sure most of you girls out there are. I mean, how can anybody deny the awesome fashion in that series? Too many a time have I spotted Blair in laced goodies (dresses /stockings/headbands) and I adore them to bits and pieces. Come to think about it, that's probably where my lace obsession came about. Lookie here, laced stuff are so versatile.. some give out an elegant vibe, and at other times, a hint of cutesy:

Super adorable laced dress going for RM 42 at
Dress-Everything.

2-in-1: A sexy bodycon+laced piece for a more matured look. RM 45 at Clothesbucket.

They're currently open for back order due to very high demand. A red piece for CNY maybe? *grins*

Laced leggings anyone?? I haven't seen this anywhere else..caught me by surprise! And I thought those laced leggings couldn't get any better..RM 33 at I've got OCD.













Gotta love this piece! A flattering v-cut to show just enough, complete with a laced-back. Only RM40 at

Buttons & Biscotti.

This cute piece really gives out the vibe of an angel, doesn't it? Fits really well with the background too^^ Get it for RM 42 at

the eat.gossip.shop girls

When four old friends get together to bake, there's bound to be lots of gossiping and talking. Well, if the four old friends happen to be avid online shoppers (who can blame us right???), the topic of online shopping is bound to come up (ok. who are we kidding. our main topic of conversation IS ONLINE SHOPPING). So, it suddenly dawned on the four old friends that they spend a tad too much time stalking blog shops and it would be a complete waste of their time if they don't share their findings. Then they thought to themselves, "why shouldn't we start our own online shopping review blog??" At first they were all hesitant. But before they knew it, they came up with a name for their review blog and they got excited. So, *poof*, eat-gossip-shop was born.

Ok. I'm done talking in the third person voice. So, Hi, We're the "four old friends" and we're really excited about starting this project. We really LOVE online shopping and just want to share our love for it with the rest of you.

Through this blog, we hope to share our little findings and our opinions on what we see. We'll mostly be discussing and reviewing online blog-shops but at time we might randomly share recipes, hence the eat component.

For the next week, we'll be giving our thoughts and opinion and reviewing the trends that we've been seeing in the online shopping world like lace dresses, floral dresses, power shoulders, cut out back dresses and many more.

Do look forward to it.

Love,
the eat.gossip.shop girls
