Okay, back to the main topic. Today's post will be about clothing! *background cheering from girls who love online shopping or window shopping or shopping in general* I've like tons of clothing to show you all but I'll just show a few because I'm still waiting to receive one clothing that I bet most of y'all secretly want but it's too expensive to buy & you're looking for cheap ones but I'll keep y'all in suspense till the next post.
I have a thing for bohemian clothing & anything bohemian in general so I bought this really cute dress from this store. It's literally perfect except its super translucent & its slightly short but other than that, it's so cute & I have a thing for cutouts so this dress is basically perfect to me.
dress: @/bestylefer (instagram blogshop)
price: rm45 (excluding postage)
The next clothing I'll be writing about is a crop tank. I love crop tops/tanks so one day while I was looking for an outfit to wear, I realised I didn't have a black crop tank. I know the store owner since last year & I've bought items from her store before so in short, I got the crop tank for free. #SPONSOREDPOST !! Anyways, this crop tank is so comfortable, I expected it to be constricting but it wasn't at all. It's super comfy that it could be pjs.
Well, since in the picture there's an emoji pillow, I might as well talk about it too. I bought it for one of my classmates for their birthday. My class has this so called system where each of us pay RM30 so we'll get a gift on our birthday. My class monitor asked me to buy one of the gifts for one of my classmates so I did. I bought the emoji pillow & I kind of got attached to it so I asked if I could have it as an early birthday present & the class was fine with it so that's the story of how I got it. It's so soft & I bring my emoji pillow to any road trips or holidays because it's so easy to carry around & I can give that face to people.
crop tank: @/fearrrless (instagram blogshop)
price: RM26 (excluding postage)
emoji pillow: @/wintage_shop (instagram blogshop)
price: RM30 (excluding postage)
This is the last one till the next shopping blogpost. Halter tops are back & they aren't leaving. I wanted to buy one from Factorie but sadly, all of my sizes are gone so I cried internally. I then started searching for it online so I tried Carousell & successfully, I found it. *i swear carousell is the best place to find clothing* I bought from the user @/angienhping & she does preorders so if you're looking for a shop to buy then go to her. She's one of the nicest users I've met there. I bought this for RM28 with free shipping even though the original price is RM35 excluding postage because I bought with my friends. I bought it in stripes & white but I didn't take a picture with white so here's the one with stripes. *sorry for the shitty lighting *
halter top: @/angienhping (carousell)
price: RM35 (excluding postage)
I hope this post is what you were waiting for. Hasta la vista, baby. ;-)
Song of the post // #SOTP :

Sometimes letting go is an act of far greater power than defending or holding on.
Almost everyone loves ice-cream & I am someone who is a big fan of ice-cream especially soft serve ice-cream so every time I go out to a mall or to any areas serving soft serve ice-cream, I'll be there eating it. The first place I would like to talk about is Milk Cow.
I discovered Milk Cow through Twitter & people were tweeting about how its ice-cream was good so I did a bit of research & found the nearest Milk Cow which is in the Gardens Mall. The shop only serves vanilla soft serve ice-cream but there were many syrups / sauces to try & toppings too but I stuck to its signature cup which is called the Milky Cube & also, since I'm a total fat ass, I ordered another one too which is called Milky Honey. The Milky Cube is a vanilla soft-serve ice cream served with a cube of honey comb whereas the Milky Honey is a vanilla soft-serve ice cream served with liquid honey. *ps; huge fan of honey too* Well, typing about it doesn't really give a clear image of the ice cream so here's a picture.
Milky Honey (left) ; Milky Cube ( right )
I loved almost everything about this cup but honestly, the honey was slightly sweeter than normal honey but if you're a total sweet tooth, just search for the nearest Milk Cow & try some. The price of the ice-cream varies on your choice of flavour. The ones one picture costs around RM11-13.
Next, I went & tried an ice-cream parlour which is called SOFTSRVE which is located in Damansara Utama. The place & atmosphere is amazing. It was lively & the way they decorated the store was perfection. Its the ultimate Tumblr girl's dream. Okay, enough about the surroundings, this place is best with friends as when I was there, I saw people who were the same age as me & people who were around their 20s. I ordered 2 ice-creams because as I said I am a fat ass. I ordered Fluffy & Churros. I was excited as I saw people with huge cups of ice-cream & I couldn't wait to try mine. Fluffy is ice-cream made out of cereal & on top of it is cotton candy with sprinkles of Himalayan salt. Churros is ice-cream made out of cereal with churros. My dad ordered Nuts which is chocolate ice-cream with nuts & chocolate sauce. Anyways here is the picture;
Churros ( left ) ; Nuts ( right )
Fluffy
The theatrics of this ice-cream was that when it arrived, there was dry ice at the bottom of the cup & smoke was surrounding the ice-cream, it was amazing but because of that, we realised it was half empty as the it had 2 cups. The first cup was the big cup which had the dry ice & water & on top of it was the ice-cream cup which is the size of a junior cup in Baskin Robbins. The ice cream costs us around RM12-13 for one. This store has its pros & cons but the ice-cream has made up for the cons.
Well if you think the ice-creams I've been typing about is slightly too pricey for your liking then I'm about the price is about to get super low. This ice-cream has got to be my most favourite of them all. This is going to get slightly personal so bare with me. When I was young, my family weren't really rich & we were trying to get by every month but they knew I loved ice-cream so every month they would take me out to eat ice-cream. They would take me to Ikea & get me an ice-cream cone. Yes, Ikea. I kid you not. Up until now, I've always loved this ice-cream & whenever I'm around that area, I would get an Ikea ice-cream cone.
Ikea Ice-Cream
Best part about this ice-cream is that its only RM0.80. I kid you not. Plus, the taste is amazing so you're basically killing two stones with a stone. If you've never tried Ikea ice-cream, then just go to your nearest Ikea & get one.
Anyways, that's the end of my so called ice-cream adventures. So I also thought about recommending a song on each post so here is this post song recommendation;
I Can't Stop Drinking About You by Bebe Rexha
Well, I hope this post was worth the 2 months wait. *most probably not & i'm sorry about that* Until next time, sayonara! :-) *PS; ITS MY BIRTHDAY ON 12TH JUNE YAY*
TIP #9: Sometimes you make choices in life & sometimes choices make you.
Sorry for the lack of blog posts despite me telling myself to write on the blog twice a month; Anyways, I've been pretty busy lately with the upcoming Sports Day, the dance practices & my assessments but I've finally found some time to communicate with y'all through my blog posts. So recently, I've tweeted out my snapchat username 'amandaaatan' but deleted it due to the amount of dick pictures my followers have sent me but one of them told me I should be a food blogger due to the amount of pictures I took of food but I don't think I'll start blogging about food just yet.
To be honest, ever since my last blogpost which was on February till now, I've had a few drafts but I've not finish any of it because of procrastination *obviously* so to make it up to each & everyone of my readers, I'll blog even more on the month of April about food, clothing, makeup, books, people, etc. You name it, I'll write it. You guys can even ask me to write about the most ridiculous. Just ask me anonymously or not on my ask.fm ( http://ask.fm/amandaaatan ) !! I promise I'll write every single post that you all request unless its really personal.
Recently, I've told myself to stop online shopping & to sell most of my clothes that I've bought online because I have so many clothing so I did a little spring cleaning on my closet & my closet is now super empty. I'm selling a few of my clothing soon on Carousell. If you don't know what Carousell is, its an app / website for selling items that are preloved / brand new & its also a place to find items that you want & honestly, I think its brilliant.
Okay, sorry for the self promo, so back to clothing. This romper is one of my favourites to be honest because I love the white lace details & it makes the person look like an angel. This romper came with super obvious paddings at first & I hated it so I took it out & the end result was perfect because come on, who wants a romper with two super obvious paddings?
romper: @/joavis_closet or @/virgoturious_shop (instagram blogshop)
price: RM30 (including postage)
Next is also another romper, *yes, another romper, deal with it* I've always wanted this romper because I love the design & I've always wanted a tennis skirt with that design but the cheapest I found online is RM60 & it was AA inspired & since it was such a rarity, they gave such a high price so I opted for the 2nd option which was a romper with that design & it was love at first sight. It was also a rarity as most stores have sold all of that romper with that design but I found a blogshop who gave me such an amazing price which was hard to refuse. It was RM50 including postage & the original price was RM60+ so I bought it as soon as possible & when it arrived, I almost cried & how it pretty it was. (PS; i'm sorry if the picture is not that pretty & the colors are not that obvious so check out my instagram for a clearer picture of this romper @/amandaaatan )
romper: @/mystique_wardrobe
price: RM50 (including postage)
Okay, enough of rompers & online shops, I know some of y'all are not allowed to shop online so lets get clothes the old school way, shopping malls. About 2 weeks ago, Jasmine & I were in IOI City Mall in Putrajaya; Our plan at first was to go to the so called new theme park there District 21 but there were just too many people so we just went shopping. The shops there were huge & there were so many types of food & restaurants there, & there were so many things to do such as ice skating, the new theme park, bowling, movies, etc. I bought a few clothing there & that place was like heaven to me as all of the clothing that I wanted to buy had my size so I was crying tears of joy. This outfit is a two of the clothing I bought.
off shoulder top: cotton on
price: 2 for RM60
high waisted shorts: h&m
price: RM59
This is the last one for today, I pinky promise, plus this blogpost will only be about clothing so I'm sorry if you were expecting something more but I will write about food on my next blog post or other stuff. Anyways, this top was love at first sight for me because I love boho themed clothing but sadly boho themed clothing doesn't love me but this was just perfect to me. It kind of looks like a short dress when I wear it but to me its a win-win situation because I can just wear it as a dress.
top / dress: nichii
price: can't remember oops
Anyways, until next time, bye !! :-)
Tip #8: Stay away from the people who make you feel like you're hard to love.
So I have those days where I feel like life actually likes me. *if you all know where this quote came from, you're my new best friend* & I just want to rock out & sing until my throat gets hoarse & let loose so I listen to this amazing album. This album is one of my most favourite albums of all time & sadly they're not making any music anymore so that sucks. Okay, am I building up suspense? I bet some of y'all know which band I'm talking about.
This album has been one of my favourite albums ever since it has been released. The name of this album is called "Danger Days: The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys" by My Chemical Romance. I know some of you would beg to differ & tell me that their older albums were better but honestly, this whole album is so upbeat & its just so amazing. My heart literally broke into two when I found out they were breaking up & I silently cried inside but guys, do listen to this!
We all also have those days where we're just feeling sad & angry & you feel like life doesn't like you & you can't stand any happy songs or upbeat songs & you just want an album that kind of relates to your mood. There's never actually an album that is full on sad or angry, so to all my amazing loyal readers, if you're a really hardcore major Christian or if your parents are hardcore Christians then I suggest you do not listen to this music or if you do, use headphones.

This album cover is amazing ain't it? So for those of you who are not familiar with this band, they're The Pretty Reckless. *SHOUTOUT TO THE GOSSIP GIRL FANS* To those of you who watch Gossip Girl & are wondering why I said that, let me enlighten you. To those who don't watch Gossip Girl just ignore the next sentence. Remember Jenny Humphrey, Dan Humphrey's sister -spoiler alert coming- the girl who lost her V card to Chuck Bass, yeah that Jenny Humphrey, she's the lead singer of this amazing band. I pissed my shit when I found out she was the lead singer. OKAY I'M SORRY I'M GOING OUT OF TOPIC. So this album has always been relatable & when I'm feeling angsty I just start playing this album. The guitar riffs in this album is AMAZING. Bless the guitarist of this band. All of their albums are amazing. Don't just listen to this one, listen to the others too.
It feels so lame to talk about clothing after writing about albums & bands but apparently I'm someone's saviour for online shopping so a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do. So recently I've bought this beautiful romper from an amazing online shop. Its one of the cheapest online shop ever & its ready stock so I got it 2-3 days after I banked in. How brilliant is that? The best part? It was only RM58. Yes I know some of y'all can find cheaper but its usually preorder & you know when you buy clothing, you just want it immediately? I feel like that every single day after I've ordered an item.
romper: @/ribbonxlove (instagram blogshop)
You're going to see me do the same pose in this next picture. Some days, I just want to feel all grunge & girly at the same time so I looked all over my closet to find the perfect outfit. Honestly, it was the first few clothing I saw in my closet & I was like "YAS IT'S PERFECT" & I expected the outcome to be bad because its weird to have this combination of materials but after wearing it, I was like this is my outfit. Where has it been all my life? Okay, to some of you all it may look pretty bad but each person has their own style & beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You guys be the judge of this outfit. The outerwear is denim, the top is spandex cotton & the skirt is PU leather.
outerwear: h&m
top: @/b.lady (instagram blogshop)
skirt: asian avenue in sunway pyramid
Okay, I'll end the blog post here because some of y'all are spamming my ask. fm with "WHERE'S THE BLOGPOST?" so bye my cuties. Please leave a suggestion on my ask.fm on what I should write about because my writers block is horrible.
Tip #7: Your mental health is important, put it before everything. School, friends & family comes second. Your health is important.
So an anonymous on ask.fm ( http://ask.fm/amandaatan ) asked me to write about what songs I've been listening to. The album of the week for me is the new Fall Out Boy album named "American Beauty/American Psycho". Guys this album is phenomenal. I know some of y'all would disagree with me but I'm a hardcore Fall Out Boy fan so don't mind me.
There's this album, okay not an album, a mixtape that I've been listening to for a few months which is The Neighbourhood mixtape named "#000000 & #FFFFFF" aka "Black & White". Not many people know about this flawless mixtape & you wanna know the best part? Its free. I shit you not. *no its not illegal* I bet a few of The Neighbourhood fans here has heard their so called new song on their Vevo page called "#icanteven" ft. French Montana & has bought it for $0.99 but in this mixtape, the song is free.
Okay, if I don't stop myself right now, I think I might talk about all the music I've been listening to. So recently, I've bought more clothes from more online shops & every item which I've received has never failed to impress me. I just bought a romper on the start of the year & I was in awe. Honestly, I expected the quality to be really bad but I thought wrong. This beautiful romper I got costs RM55 & there's sizes so to me, it's a steal. Why don't I let y'all be the judge of it? *ps; the color is darker in this picture because of the lighting.
romper: @/dazzlinglovers (instagram blogshop)
So my amazing best friend, Jasmine Lee ( http://sonotjasmine.blogspot.com ) got me this cute top when she went to Pop Market last year. She's such a nice person. This top is made out of chiffon & you can practically match this top with any type of shorts. This is one of my favourite casual day outfits.
top: @/ribbonxlove (instagram blogshop)
shorts: kitschen
I promise this is the last clothing that I'll talk about in this post. So I've recently bought a tennis skirt from my most favourite Instagram blogshop. Sadly, their closing their store for a year due to exams but the owner told me that I'm able to order one more time this year so at least I got that going on for me which is nice. If y'all follow me on Instagram ( http://instagram.com/amandaaatan ) you would've seen this picture before. The quality of the skirt is amazing & also there's an American Apparel tag & it looks exactly the same as the original one. The best part? It's only RM35. Most Instagram blogshops love to advertise that there's the American Apparel tag & sell the skirt for RM70 even though it's inspired. This tennis skirt is also available in my Instagram blogshop ( http://instagram.com/monstrxckclothings )
skirt: @/mirand_shop (Instagram blogshop)
garter: forever 21
knee socks: h&m
Once again, if you're reading this, thank you for giving me a page view. Secondly, you all are amazing people. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Bye! :-)
Tip #6: Enjoy stillness & alone time. Master these 2 things & life will never seem boring again.
So today afternoon, I was sick of what I usually wear which are a tee & a pair of shorts so I changed what I usually wore. I wore a pair of black high waisted ripped jeans & a H&M white crop tank (PS; @/monstrxckclothings is selling a similar looking white crop tank but instead its American Apparel inspired) . These two clothing can be found in a blog shop that my friends, Jasmine (Go check out her blog right here -> http://sonotjasmine.blogspot.com ) & Xin Ru, & I's blog shop which is on Instagram ( http://instagram.com/monstrxckclothings ) so go check that out.
crop tank: H&M
jeans: @/monstrxckclothings & @/hipster.wardrobe (instagram blogshop)
So if some are you are confused why I put @/hipster.wardrobe on the jeans, its because @/hipster.wardrobe is collaborating with our store, @/monstrxckclothings , & is providing our store the jeans so big big shoutout to them.
CHRISTMAS IS COMING SOON. 3 MORE DAYS! I REALLY REALLY LOVE CHRISTMAS! Sadly, all my friends are busy & my parents aren't really that enthusiastic about it but its okay! I'll just sit in my room & watch Christmas movies all day while eating log cake & drinking egg nog.
Well, I'll just leave it at that because I'm finally on season 5 on Parks & Recreation & I'm just dying to binge watch this season for a whole day. Bye & also, please go to sleep if you're reading my blog post at this hour. Goodnight or good morning or good afternoon? It depends when you're reading this!
Tip #5: There is nothing inherently wrong in showing some skin, there is nothing inherently liberating in covering up, the liberation lies in the choice.
My holidays weren't really productive but I've managed to create something that will help me in my future. I've created a blog shop with my friends, Jasmine *ps; go check out her blog http://sonotjasmine.blogspot.com * & Xin Ru. I created it about a week ago & so far I can say, business is going well (???) because currently I have 5 customers so yay! *does happy dance*
If you guys want to check it out, its on Instagram. The shop's username is @/monstrxckclothings ; It'll be much appreciated if you guys would purchase a clothing item as it would help my friends & I lessen the burden on our parents in paying for college but its okay if you don't want to! So for my readers, I've got something special for y'all; I'll give you all a special promotion code for my blog shop so that you can use it till the end of Batch 1. For this promotion, you'll get 5% off your total purchase. Use this promotion code: #JOYMOONPROMO ;
When I was 12, there was this trend going on called dip-dyed hair. I was amazed by the people who did it because it was pretty. My parents would never let dye touch my hair but this year, everything changed. My parents were more lenient so they allowed me to dip-dye my hair. I was ecstatic! So during the starting of my holidays, I dyed it blue but sadly it faded to grey but then I re-dyed it again to pink. #HairTransformation
OH YEAH! Last week, I went to KL with 4/6 of the squad. We sat on an LRT to go there. Honestly, I love using the LRT to go anywhere. #signaturepose
Well, Jasmine & I took so many photos that we looked like tourists. Here are a few of the photos;
Then I went to KL Avenue & I saw the cutest vending machine ever! A HELLO KITTY VENDING MACHINE & I GOT THE CUTEST THINGS EVER! THE KUROMI IS SHAMPOO WHEREAS THE HELLO KITTY IS LOTION.
Well I'll end this post right here. Remember the promo code; #JOYMOONPROMO
Goodbye! :-)
Tip #4: Travel as much as you can, as far as you can. Life's not meant to be lived in one place.
Well, its been a week since I wrote. ITS FINALLY THE HOLIDAYS! *throws glitter everywhere* & I'm really excited because I finally can catch up on all the sleep I loss when preparing for finals.
So today I'll be posting about *drumrolls* you guessed it, clothes. I know what you're thinking, "Why is she always posting about clothing & not about anything else?" Well I know this because you guys have been spamming my ask.fm. *btw ive been mia in my askfm because im on a hiatus on it for awhile* ps, this is my askfm link: http://ask.fm/AmandaaTan or you can click on the POKÉMON tab in the pokeball then after doing that, click on the ask.fm tab, *does not work on tablets or phones* to ask me any question & I'll reply your question here or when I'm back.
Oops, I think I might have sidetracked just a little bit. Today's blogshop that will be featured on my blog is @/grabme_57 . Why this shop? Well it's because I'm super satisfied with this shop. I ordered the Brandy Melville inspired Jada dress & when it arrived, I think I teared up just a little bit because of how pretty & how alike it is with the real one.
dress: @/grabme_57 (instagram blogshop)
bralet: @/b.lady (instagram blogshop)
With the Brandy Melville inspired Jada dress, I pair it off with a Brandy Melville inspired black chiyo bralet from @/b.lady . I like how this bralet is different from many blogshops because this bralet has removable paddings & if that is not cool, I don't know what is. Some people like me prefer to wear their own bra because some paddings can be seen when worn so to me, this is a cool feature.
Speaking about Brandy Melville inspired chiyo bralets, my friend got me one from @/crossandtick & I have only one word to describe it; wow. I really like it but sadly, the padding isn't removable & when worn, the padding is really obvious so I'll cover it with my hair or I wear it inside of a top.
bralet: @/crossandtick (instagram blogshop)
skirt: bershka
Thanks for wasting at least 5 minutes reading this or just even visiting it.
Tip #3: Sometimes you have to be mean & hurt someone's feelings to help & save them.
Shoutout to @/mirand_shop for sponsoring me such beautiful clothing. They're clothes have superb quality & its affordable! After getting the clothing that they gave, I went & order more clothing from them because their clothes are just that amazing.
top & shorts: @/mirand_shop (instagram blogshop)
Another shop that really impressed me was @/boo_sweven. I ordered an alien top from them & when it arrived, I fell in love with it. Even though it took a month for it to arrive, it was worth the wait. The quality was excellent & it wasn't uncomfortable at all. This shop's clothing is so cheap compared to other blog shops. I will 101% order from this shop again.
top: @/boo_sweven (instagram blogshop)
shorts: h&m
In my previous blog post, I've said to give myself some advice on each blog post I will post so this is my 2nd one.
Tip #2: Enjoy the butterflies a person gives you before their wings turn into sharp knives/edges & tear you apart inside out.
Tip #1: Be nice to people even if you don't like them.
