Of basic dresses and tops
Wednesday, August 21, 2013 || 11:39 PM
A new week is upon us, and what better way to welcome it than with a little peek into our next collection? We have so many new designs brewing for the upcoming F/W, you'll be spoiled for choice.
First up, the off-shoulder dress has been all the rage this year.
Even celebrities are sporting this look on the red carpet. MMTP has put a casual spin to this sassy off-shoulder number, and made this an everyday go-to dress!
In our favourite comfortable jersey cotton, this is a great dress for the recent sunny weather. We've added a subtle v-neck for a touch of girly sweetness. Heading out at night and want to glam it up? We say go for the dark colours like Plum and Black, and do not hold back on the accessories!
While we're still in the mood for all things floral, and still trying to keep cool in this heat, you can't miss out on this basic piece. Bringing to you Pleatsy Chiffon Top, now in floral prints. This piece has been flying off all our retail racks, so don't say we didn't warn you! ;)
We're suckers for basics here at MMTP. A well-designed basic piece is extremely versatile and will last you for ages.
We love the clean-cut look of our latest manufactured basic U-neck top. Flaunt 'em collarbones and pair this piece easily with highwaisted bottoms or over just casual shorts and printed bandage skirts. For the working ladies, this will be a great piece with pencil skirts and under blazers.
Eye-popping colours - Fuchsia & Blue, as well as staple Off-white
Do keep a look out for our mailers and preview on Facebook. Till then, have a lovely week ahead!
With love,
Roxane

Summer Fling

Hello!
Today officially marks the end of my 2.5 month long stint with MMTP. And I would say that the most invaluable lesson learnt is that of forbearance - the ability to properly function and to keep my insatiable cravings to shop in check whilst being surrounded by ALL the pretty clothes. I have also learnt that a lot of toil and sweat (literally!) goes into the preparation of each carefully curated collection, so what I'd like to do is to give all the other blogshop pixies out there a thumbs up! Ok, make that TWO big fat thumbs up.
When you transit from JC to varsity life, and you ditch your trusty 'ol uniform in exchange for "home" clothing, what do you do? You arm yourself with comfortable knits or casual sundresses that in anticipation of school. Although I've always been (and still am) a hard core fan of fancy dresses, I realized that they aren't so practical for school or work, not unless you're a fashion major. I thus found myself levitating towards MMTP for my occasional fix of appropriate "school-going" getups because their clothes are just so wearable. They go with almost everything and anything because they're simple, but far from boring. And for this simple reason, I foresee that I'd still be an ardent supporter in the years' to come! Trust me, I'm an engineer ;)
Therefore, it is hardly a coincidence that the upcoming collection that I'm about to unveil is - in my most humble opinion - the mother of all collections!
I've made it a point to keep a certain distance away from crop tops because it's so difficult to find the perfect crop top that doesn't look too sleazy. But where crop tops are concerned, this particular piece must be the gung ho sister of all ordinary crop tops available in the market. Go rocker chic with a high slit maxi skirt or opt for a more pristine kind of look with a high waisted skirt. Available in 3 colours: White, Wine and Black.
Ditzy floral skirts seem to also be a wardrobe staple for any girl. However, with so many floral skater skirts to choose from, it can be a headache having to choose one that suits you to a T. Nonetheless, when I first laid eyes on this skirt, to say that it was love at first sight would be undermining my gravitation towards this skirt. This skirt is floral, yes, but it's not too girly - just the way I like it.
But if you're inclined towards a more laid back kind of look and you find putting prints together with other prints too much of a hassle, we highly recommend this striped pair of high waisted shorts. Faculty tees, slouchy tops? Easy peasy. Just tuck them in and you're good to go.
Speaking of slouchy tops, you just have to meet the nautical striped top that we brought in for you girls. Don't say we
bojio. With the material being so light and flowy, it feels like a second skin!
Rompers are anything but complicated and they hardly ever need any accessorizing to make a bold statement. What more with a oversized romper that's lined with flirty polka dot prints? Thus, do yourself a favour today - things really don't have to be so complicated with this romper :D
We are well aware that first impressions are the most lasting, and of the truth that lies therein. Thus, put your best foot forward whether it is your first date or if you're meeting his parents for the first time. With this pristine white number or the vintage floral little number below, there's no way you could go wrong.
I'd love to believe that there's a sassy Sex and the City goddess in every one of us. Watch how this alluring chiffon number sways in the wind as you strut your stuff! In fact, I'm loving how the puffy sleeves and smooth chiffon ends of the dress contribute to its overall elegance!
As always,
Nicole 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
