All about fun
Sunday, June 30, 2013 || 7:37 AM
This June has been jam-packed with pleasant surprises for us. To date, we finally installed our very own in-house studio, but only after putting in many laborious hours of arranging our stocks neatly into piles on our new racks. What's more is that we welcomed a new face on board the MMTP family. And no, we're not taking one giant leap for humanity, but we are slowly but surely taking baby steps towards giving our brand a whole new image!
In other news...to say that our next instalment is 'fun' would be a gross understatement of what it really is. It's a curious case of fun and flirty, cheerful florals and polished elegance all in one collection - a collection that I'm certain would be to die for!
(Pardon the lack of photos in this behind-the-scenes blogpost. It's partly because I was too engrossed with the photoshoot itself and partly because there are so many pretty clothes in the next collection and I want to give all of you a surprise.)
Anyways, let me introduce you to our floral chiffon maxi skirt. I love how it is very floral but not excessively gaudy. Additionally, while other maxi skirts typically end of with a "straight cut", this maxi ends of with a V shape. Don't underestimate the power of this detail (all you petite girls, we hear ya) as it accentuates and gives the appearance of height ;)
Perfect for school, work and play, this cold shoulder top goes with almost everything! Pssst have we mentioned how ultra good it looks when paired with the chiffon maxi skirt? Hint: Refer to the pictures above. Tentatively, you could pair it with our
Mesmerizing Aztec Shorts and be all set for the beach with your girlfriends.
You may also love the cut-in graphic tank which oozes personality as errrr you can see HAHA. Contrary to widely held beliefs, patterned tops are not that difficult to pair! It really depends on how bold you are willing to go. Nonetheless, anything goes with a pair of black shorts. In fact, do look out for the black shorts below as we have brought it in too!
With the blink of an eye, my 3 month holiday is almost over, and so would my stint with MMTP in a months' time ): I don't mean to sound so preachy but imma treasure the last few moments I have here and take ALL the photos while I still can :')
P/S: Back then when it used to be, 'Serene the model' has now become, 'Serene the photographer' haha.
As always,
Nic xx

The Class Edition
Friday, June 21, 2013 || 6:14 AM
Hello!
We were fortunate to have had our outdoor photo shoot before the haze occurred. /phew/ This time, we went to the majestic Raffles Hotel for our shoot because we felt that it was apt, given the super chic, super glam collection that we've prepared for you girls (:
But because there are just too many exciting designs that are upcoming, we also had to make do with the limited space available in our environment (y) and of course we had to use this opportunity to showcase our structured blazer ;p
It is a well-known fact that plain, simple pieces are the easiest to work with. You can choose to dress up or dress down by simply alternating between your choice of accessories and shoes. In order to align ourselves with the general elegance of this collection, we paired the Breakfast at Tiffany's dress with a chunky gold necklace and a pair of fuschia pumps. As such, brunch has never been classier.
We are officially midway into Summer, but no Summer is complete without the florals that symbolically represent it. Thus, we brought in the Edith Floral Peplum top (Available in both white and black). Peplum tops are great for tummy concealment and figure emphasis, giving you a more slender frame (my personal life-saver!)
Although summer is symbolized by loud colours, don't ditch your pastels too soon, as they haven't completely waned in popularity. In fact, the emphasis this season is on contrasting colours (for e.g. white on black and vice versa). To combine this with out newfound love for all things modern boho and classic sophisticate, we manufactured the New Yorker Blazer, which is a structured blazer that plays with contrasting colours. Be spoilt for choice as we attempt to contrast white/black, mint/white and navy/white. And and and the way the buttons are positions are so...tres chic. SO GO AHEAD AND TAKE MY MONEY, TAKE ALL MY MONEY!
If you can never find it in your heart to splurge your hard-earned money on a branded bag but still want a bag that's atas enough to lug around, then the Box Flat Bag is the bag for you! And if the neon yellow bag is particularly outstanding, it's prolly because it's contrasted with our Neon Lights Dress - which would also be availabile in the upcoming collection! I couldn't resist keeping this for myself because anything cut-in (i.e: cut-in tops, cut-in dresses...) makes my flabby arms appear smaller than they really are (This assertion is w/out scientific backing but is purely psychological. At least to me.)
Pssst...guess who got themselves a new studio! I'm so excited for the collection after next ;)
As always,
Nic xx

OH, SO BEACHY!

In the wise words of YSL (and we quote accordingly), "Fashion fades, style is eternal". Nonetheless, we agree to disagree as we try our hand at achieving both fashion and style with this minimalist number. The MMTP Summer Reverie Eyelet Dress gets my thumb of approval and is hands-down my personal favourite because I appreciate how the M-shape bustier top flatters the chest area while the intricate eyelet details at the bottom add a bohemian touch to this lovely piece. Can someone say Nicole Richie?
Strawbies are delectable to the taste buds, but are equally tasty on the eyes. What more when they're on a dress that has a fitted bodice and ends with a flare? If you aren't already hungry for That 60s Love Floral Dress, we sure are!
If you thoroughly enjoyed the
Playful Summer Dungaree that we brought to you in the previous collection....
.....then you are sure to love its bolder, sassier counterpart to itsy bitsy bite-sized pieces! Let the bold floral prints emblazoned on the Wanderlust Bustier Playsuit work their own magic without the need for further accessorising or sprucing up. And it is a dash of vibrant colours that every wardrobe needs!
(Pssst... we also accidentally-on-purpose realized that it complements our
Eye Candy Skirt very well)
Peek-a-boo openings at the shoulders are also all the rage this season. So we thought to ourselves, why not a piece that perfectly combines this trend together with floral prints. And at last! We managed to unearth this lovely Seaside Blooms Blouse which is a perfect amalgamation of them both. 3 cheers to us!
But just in case your idea of a fun-in-the-sun get up is one that is laid back, we have the Robyn Stud Pocket Tee and the Mesmerizing Aztec Shorts that would pander to your ideals. The Robyn Stud Pocket Tee is available in Wine and Black but either way, they make pairings with printed bottoms a breeze and all you need to do is throw them on and you're good to go!
Behind the glitz of every blogshop's success is a pixie/a bunch of pixies. But behind every pixie's delight in working for these blogshops are special, never before seen scenes (that you wouldn't get to see as a regular customer). Scenes such as this....
and this.... Pouty Serene is pouty.
But on a more serious note, our photoshoot would not have been so fun without
Jingxuan, who's taking her baby steps to becoming a pro photographer! Despite the scorching weather, she still displayed professionalism and patience. So, on behalf of MMTP.....all the best, JX :D
Cheers and till next time!
As always,
Nic.
