Collection 5

COLLECTION 5, THURS 9.30PM!
PREVIEW HERE!

Hi girls, we know we haven’t been updating this space regularly due to the heavy stressful workload from school :( this would be the last collection before our CT starts and we’ve brought in some pretty awesome laid back designs suitable for both school and play. We, ourselves, loveeeeee laid back pieces! Stuffs that you can just slip on, match it with a pair of flops (the weather has been really bad these days and you never know when it’s gonna storm so better prevent our precious pumps/heels from getting all wet stinky and all muddy!) and head out to school, shopping (oh the feeling of walking around in comfort ~<3) and play.

Also, if you have been checking into RWL’s site regularly you’d have known that we have a new face in the house (well if you don’t, then you really ought to join our mailing list for updates hehezzzz) & she’s none other than pretty Collette Claire Miles :) Watch her in action on Thurs, 9.30pm when we launch our latest collection! See you then!

XO Ale & Mei <3

p/s we’d appreciate it if you girls leave your orders at the site itself as we do not check this space out frequently thank you :)

Collection 3

Hi darlings! This is Alethia here! Taking a break from replying all the emails so thought I’ll update the blog a little since Mei is out meeting Charis!

After a hiatus of 2 weeks, we’re back with a mega collection launch! So they say, the third time’s always a charm! Our goodies get better and bolder each week and we’ve finally brought in some feminine pieces for the girlies! Not to forget, our favourite rocker chic items which glams you up instantly!

What to expect at Collection 3? To start off, here’s our favourite rocker chic items…

Black Studded Waist Dress- $26

Want something special and unique apart from the usual little black dresses you see? How about a Black Studded Waist Dress? I can vouch for its superb good quality of this dress! Plus there’s a zipper at the side for easy wearing! Look at how awesome it is when paired with my newly bought studded heels!

Speaking which, I LOVE my newly bought studded heels! Tell me it’s awesome, hahaha! Got it at Bugis Street at only $35!!! P.S It’s my first pair of studded heels :) Been looking for a perfect one and finally I found one! Whats more, it’s comfortable too! Alright enough of the sidetrack, let’s zoom in to the main topic!

Topshop Inspired Ruched Sleeve Power Shoulder Dress- $27

This is by far my most favourite power shoulder dress among all that we’ve brought in so far! Love the awesome material, love the perfect cutting and fit, love the unique details at the back and whats more, in my favourite style, power shoulder puff sleeves!

I’ve cropped the photo so that you girls can take a closer look at the details at the back. Isn’t it stunning? So not the usual online apparels you see! This piece is so carefully designed and manufactured! Psst, the cutting actually gives you a slimmer silhouette!

Long Face Tunic- $22

Want something casual yet stunning enough for school? Slouchy tunics are the perfect choice! I remember when Mei first showed me this piece I went like “Who’s that guy in the front?” Hahahah! This comfy piece can bring you to school, to town, or even to dates! Just mix and match to suit your own style! If I’m heading to town, I would definitely pair it with lame leggings and glam it up with accessories and not to forget, that gorgeous heels! Else I’ll wear it on its own or pair it with shorts for that casual look for school! What’s more it’s CHEAAAAAP!

Studded Shorts- $24

This is not your kind of simple black shorts but a high waist studded pair! Smocked at the back, this pair is stretchable to suit all body sizes! Pair it with a simple slouchy tank, with heels or oxfords, and you’re ready for school or shopping trips! This pair has been wiped out as of yesterday’s launch!

&My god… This is my first photo for RUNWAYLABEL! Wanted to stay behind the scenes but friends and photographer insist that I should model and show my face to the camera! My take? I prefer to be behind the scenes replying emails, hahah!

Hot Pink Panel Bandage Skirt- $23

Enough of the simple and normal black bandage skirts in lame, bodycon, snakeskin or whatsoever material! Time to spice up that wardrobe of yours and add some colour with this Hot Pink Panel Bandage Skirt! Material is fab and stretchy and whats more, its in my favourite colour, hotpink! Geez.

Fred Perry Inspired Top- $20

This piece is fab in terms of cutting, material and versatility! Checkered prints can never go wrong with anything. Whats more? Check out the awesome pricing! Yes dearies, we took in your feedbacks and tried to provide you girls with awesome pieces in cheap and definitely affordable prices! I love how I styled Mei for this outfit. Spells H-O-T! My babygirl has such a superb figure ain’t it ;)

Oh in case you don’t know, this piece has been snapped out as well! See what I mean when cheap thrills are hard to come by! Do let us know if you wish to see more of this piece in other prints like solid colours, checkered etc. We’re gathering feedback for our suppliers as well!

&Now, the feminine pieces! Yes I know, you’re finally seeing flirty and feminine dresses at RUNWAYLABEL! Fret not girlies, I’m a HUGE fan of dresses so I’ll definitely bring it in for you! Plus, they’re all made of superb material and cutting. Psst. I’m a sucker for that. I know how many of you moan and grumble over the bad quality and material of online apparels. I’m an online shopper myself so I know how many of you feel that way!

Tie Dye Maxi Dress- $30

The first maxi dress that we’ve brought in! Whats more, it’s my first owned maxi dress! Yes, I kept it for myself! Couldn’t resist the pretty colours and in my favourite material, chiffon! I screamed at the sight of it when I saw it at my supplier!

Friends should know I’m very very petite in real life and I’ve always wanted a maxi dress but it’s always too long for me :( But this awesome piece is at just the right length for me! Fret not it’ll be too short for the tallies as well! It’s perfectly fine for Mei as well. Length is adjustable due to it’s halter neck design!

Love how this maxi gives out the flowy flirty feel. Perfect for trips to the beach or pair it with wedges and head out to town, just like how I wear it!

Double U Back Lace Dress- $25

I absolutely love this pefect lace bodycon dress! Fret not about it being sheer as it comes with an inner lining. However, nude undergarments are still recommended. Pair it with wedges or pumps for a more feminine feel and accessorize with pearls! OR, glam it with studded heels and pair it with an awesome bag for a slightly more different style! It’s all about mixing and matching! Psst… It’s too late cause this perfect dress is all sold!

Exposed Shoulder Lace Dress- $25

Think this is another lace bodycon dress? Check out the sexy exposed shoulders! Guess what, Mei and I didn’t even realise of the exposed shoulder design till hours after we got the dress, hahahah!

Shift Dress in Navy Blue- $27

Shift Dress in Black- $27

This shift dress gives out a slight Chanel and Audrey Hepburn feel. With 2 favourite colours to choose from, Black & Navy Blue, this is perfect for working ladies and dates with your partner!

Tri-Colour Block Dress in Grey- $27

Tri-Colour Block Dress in Black- $27

This tri-colour block dress has got to be one of our favourites of this collection! Love the colour combination of this beautiful piece! In stretchable bodycon material, this can suit all body sizes and bring you to school or shopping trips!

Studded Chain Bag in Black- $30

Studded Chain Bag in Red- $30

This is RUNWAYLABEL’s utmost favourite of the collection! Studded Chain Bag in awesome bold red and mysterious midnight black! Mei practically pounced on this piece and she kept the black one for herself! This bag didn’t come easy! We made our orders with our supplier and had to wait 2 weeks for it! A must have for all fashionistas out there!

Hope you dearies love this mega collection that we’ve brought for you! School’s resuming for us both next week and we’ll have lesser updates by then so pardon us with the replying of emails and packing of parcels etc!

We’ll still keep a lookout on awesome pieces for you girls. Let us know what you will wish to see at RUNWAYLABEL and give us your honest feedbacks!

Also, would wish to express my gratitude to our dearest friends who helped both Mei and I in this collection! From sourcing of the pieces, to our photoshoot, helping us style our outfits, helping us with the measurements and the price quoting etc! Thanks Cheryl, Jessica, Sheaujyu & Eileen!

Before I go, here’s my favourite photo among the whole lot!

Heheh sorry, had to show the narcissitic side of me! Alright, hope you girls love your purchases! Look forward to hearing from you girls again.

P.S Will be having a flea in the month of Nov! It’ll be the greatest opportunity to know you girls better! Till then!

Signing off,

Alethia

An update!

Hi babes!

It’s been quite a long time since we’ve updated this space as we’re pretty busy handling both C1 and C2! Guess by now you girls would have looked through both collections, if there are any comments please do leave us feedbacks here or over at the online boutique itself thank you! :)

We have heard some comments regarding our pricing for some pieces and we’d like to appeal for your understanding. Cost over at our side is pretty high with fees to pay for the photographer, studio, model and much more. Therefore we had to take these costs into consideration as well, hence pricing is a tiny winy bit high. But but but, we can assure you that all items we’ve brought in are worth every penny :) and we’re trying our best to provide you girls quality and stylish clothings at a lower price!

We know that collection 2 is a little small but we just wanted to give you girls a mini weekend surprise :> HEHEZ hope you girls loveeee the collection!

ANW!
This is dear Charis, our current model! We are thrilled to have a new face for RWL, how about you? :)
