Blogshop review: VANITYdrive

WE HAVE A NEW CONTENDER IN THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY.

Vanitydrive is a new blogshop that brings in apparels that are unique and that will cater to different tastes and wants!

Apparels are also priced affordably. No more "siao, why like that also cost S$35!" scenarios. Their snuggly knit (from their latest collection) is priced at only S$23.50. HOW AFFORDABLE IS THAT?! Some blogshops think that knits should be overpriced and attach ridiculous pricetags on their knits, like S$30 for a freaking simple knitted top. NOT WITH VANITYDRIVE! YAY TO THEM FOR THAT!

Fabulous clothes with commendable quality at good prices. What more can you ask for?


"WE LIVE NOT ACCORDING TO REASON, BUT ACCORDING TO FASHION."

A rather apt tagline, I must admit. For us girls (at least most of us), fashion forms a majority of our lives; not to just look and feel good, but to live.

Vanitydrive is an up and coming blogshop that promises to bring "different styles to suit different girls' needs" and "to make every girl gorgeous".


They have just launched with their third collection "Ho, Ho the Mistletoe!", and its filled with gorgeous lounging sweaters in a variety of colours, reversible special-event-appropriate dresses and a chic and edgy black dress. Though the collection is a tad small compared to other blogshops, but it sure does cater to different girls' needs!

You have the comfy sweaters for girls who want to feel comfortable yet still look good. You have the fitting dresses for girls who need to attend important events. You also have an innovative black dress with asymmetrical hem for them edgy girls!

Certainly, this new collection is comparatively small but addresses every tastebud!

OK, PICTURE TIME! :)



This is my favourite out of this collection. Simple black dress that is brought to a whole new level! Put on a pair of killer heels or statement wedges and you are good to go to impress the crowds wherever you are!


Some items from their previous 2 collections are still available, and I'm loving this cardigan from their second collection! :) They also have it in white! Do check out their website for availability!

Here's their blogshop link: http://vanitydrive.livejournal.com/


The owner was very kind to allow me to choose 2 apparels for myself! :) Since I loved Jaime Knitted Sweater in Blood Red so much, I had to choose it!



I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the knitting of the cardigan. The material is also super soft and I feel like hugging myself to sleep after wearing it.

Though I must admit, it's a wee bit too thick and warm for the fickle Singapore weather. Certainly not to be worn during sunny days! Good for rainy days or those trips to the movies! Or those horribly cold lecture theatres.


This leather trimmed blazer/cardigan is from Vanitydrive's first ever collection and I must say it's a definite keeper! Even my younger sister has been stealing it from my wardrobe ever since she tried it on when it first came in the mail!


I was quite scared that Leather Trim Shrug in Mustard will not fit me since I'm not that petite-sized. However, it fits perfectly, and no it doesn't fit snug! I don't feel self-conscious wearing it! YAY!


The sleeves are also leather-trimmed at the end. Such killer details are definitely what I look for in my kind of clothes. :)


The leather-trimmed collar is quite a new thing; I had to take a litte more time to get used to it. Maybe it's the cutting, or maybe it's my shoulder shape, or maybe because it's brand new; the leather is still very stiff and so it kind of hurts a little bit when I try to crane my neck upwards. I believe wear and tear will do some good though. :)

They also had it in a deep emerald green colour, but I figure mustard will be more on track with the current trends and mustard also allows better contrast for the leather trimmings!


Do take a look at this new but certainly not boring blogshop!
