Spring 2010 Preview


Spring is in the Air!

Here's Holang's Spring Collection:

1) Boho Strapless Floral Dress/Skirt (S$49) SOLD
Size: Free Size


The moment I saw this, I thought "Spring!" Not only does this dress/skirt look lovely, but it feels ever so silky soft too! And it's such a versatile, beautiful, breezy piece!




The smocked bodice can be folded down to create a beautiful waistband for a long skirt.


Paired with a simple tank top, it can be worn as a skirt.


OR wear it as a dress with a statement necklace to dress it up, or pair it with a vest, or a shrunken denim jacket, or a cardigan for some coverage.




2) Striped Dress (S$30) SOLD
Size: Free size



Nautica is in this season, and what better way to get on this trend than with this lovely colour-blocked dress with a denim-blue-and-white striped top and black bottom in a super comfy knit material.

(Above reflects true colour)

I'm normally wary of stripes as they tend to make one look wider. But somehow, this dress doesn't have this effect ... instead it's oh-so flattering! I felt so young and fresh and spritely in this ... all ready to hop on a sailboat to catch some sunshine and seabreeze!


3) Black Knit Dress (S$45)
Size: Free size



I fell in love with the details at the waist, as well as the well-placed pockets. It's in a comfy knit material and slips on over (no zips). The cut and deep V front is incredibly flattering. For modesty, a camisole is necessary (camisole shown is not included). It can be dressed up (as shown) or dressed down simply by teaming it with a printed cami, leggings and ballet flats.


(Note: Camisole not included)



4) Black Frilly Top (S$25) SOLD
Size: Free size



It was the frills that caught my attention - that and the silky soft material. The frills take this from a basic top to something more unique. It's very versatile, and can be teamed with jeans for something casual, or with a skirt or pants for a more dressy look. Also can be worn off shoulder for a different look.


(Note: Accessories not included)


5) Black-White-N-Grey Tunic/Dress (S$40) SOLD
Size: Free size



The modern versatile graphic print allows this tunic to go from casual to dressy depending on how it is accessorised and teamed. It comes with elastic loops at the side for the thin self-tie belt. These loops allow the belt to be slung low on the hips.


The material is in a silky soft cotton ... lovely to the touch ...


Personally, I prefer wearing the belt higher up, closer to the natural waist for a more shapely silhouette, in which case, the belt loops are easily removed.

Here, I've teamed it with jeans (leggings would be perfect as well) for a more casual look ...


For a more dressed up look, just the tunic worn as a dress, with black pumps ...




6) Black N Silver Metallic Cowl Tunic/Dress (S$49)
Size: Free size


I was drawn to the beautiful metallic material of this tunic/dress as well as the modern design - cowl neckline, with slight pleating on the shoulders and a little ruching at the bottom sides. While some similar metallic materials can be rather scratchy and irritate the skin, this material feels lovely to wear.

Makes a wonderful mini dress for a smart casual night out, or when teamed with jeans/leggings, for a slightly dressy date night.
