Miu Miu Dress For Less

It’s time to bring my figure-hugging clothes back from my wardrobe. I can now say goodbye to spring (touch wood it doesn’t keep raining) and say hello to summer in Melbourne. Summer’s about vibrant colours, the ability to wear less to feel cool and comfortable. I do miss the hot weather in Malaysia, but this contrast of weather here inspires me to dress up.

I will go for sexy. Exercising more here means the ability to feel better in the clothes I carry. How about a yellow-mustard knitted t-shirt dress from Miu Miu worth SGD$540 from Reebonz.com, yet heavily discounted?

With a click of the button, I could do my online shopping even when it’s raining or when I feel like surfing the internet.

When you’re in the comfort of your own home, you can afford to wear it in any way you want. This is the perfect dress to bare legs this summer, but one can choose to pair it off with a skirt or a pair of leggings. This dress works best with a pair of flat sandals, otherwise looks skanky with high heels if not careful.

Nothing beats a stretcheable and comfortable knitted t-shirt dress.

A dress so versatile you can pair it off with a pair of leggings.

Add a little accent to your waist to accentuate the figure (belt) and pair it with high heels to elongate the legs. There are just so many ways to wear this outfit, the dress on its own looks simple, yet so versatile.

I received the dress from Reebonz.com which is not pronounced in an Ah-Lian manner (Ree-bawnz), but rather properly pronounced as “Ribbons”. It is the symbol of opening a present and receiving a much-awaited surprise within the package.

They said I would receive it within a few days and indeed, I did.

A well-wrapped Miu Miu dress. Perfect fit!

When I surfed onto Reebonz.com, I was happy to know of a few important facts, that gained my trust as one of you curious online shoppers. It is important for us to not be fooled by sprouting websites where many fall prey to.

Authenticity
Carrying various brands like Burberry, Tods, Prada, Gucci, Miu Miu, Coach, Kate Spade, Givenchy, Lanvin, etc. and more, I was curious and wondered how the company managed to slash off prices till as low as 70% discount. Apparently, they work with brand partners directly or authorized local distributors to bring customers these amazing deals. The products are brand new and authentic as most of these merchandise are of past season inventory and also its lower overhead (being online) helps reduct cost. Awesome! I like that!

Exclusivity
The website is exclusive to members only. 2-3 days online sale event basis - products from a specific brand is placed on Reebonz.com for a short time span of 2-3 days for members to purchase. At the end of the 3 days, the event will close and members will not be able to purchase the items anymore. Purchases are made online using credit card or paypal account under a secured environment. Exclusive? I like. It’s like ebay but more exclusive.

Professionalism
I like the way the website is prepared for customers. Unintrusive, yet classy. The web interface, layout, display and even their e-mails look so professional and clean which depicts the luxury brands they carry. Their service is prompt and they do have many feedback from various media and bloggers including one from recent Nuffnang Blog Awards 2009 winner Super Kawaii Mama.

Benefits
Reebonz offer products ranging from medium to high-end luxury products. Affordable luxury can be shipped to the whole of Asia Pacific and that includes to all parts of Malaysia and Australia. They also have giveaways on their Twitter and Facebook page to offer attractive prizes to ir members. Apparently, their previous Recessionista Giveaway winner happens to be a Malaysian! She won for herself a Coach Bonnie Leather Bag. You’ll find the latest contest here or “Share The Secret” here.

I like the fact that they are engaging.
