 We went to Phuket last week for our birthday trip, yes! me and my husband were born in the same month, September. It has been a tradition in our family to travel on our birthday, and this year we decided to go to Phuket here in Thailand.

It was a short vacation but it was all worth it, we felt relaxed, enjoyed and re-energized, though it was always been raining during our stay, but it didn't bother us because we stayed in Anantara Vacation Club in Mai Khao Phuket.

This blog is not all about our Travel Diary, I just want to share with you first what I wore in Phuket.

I have honestly been planning to write a review about this new-found Thai local brand since I got pregnant, but it keeps cancelling and moving and finally, here I am taking the time to write about this affordable Thai clothing brand, Atippa Shop.





I found Atippa Shop on Instagram and the first thing that caught my attention is that they have a minimal, aesthetic and they are one of the most affordable brands in Bangkok.

They also sell wholesale prices for those business enthusiasts and they ship internationally. I also discover that they can put a label with your own brand on the clothes.

Well, honestly? It got me thinking should I buy bulk and put up my own online clothing store and buy the items from them? But then I realize, I have a lot on my plate right now. I have my bags and luggage business, full-time job, and part-time jobs (like with S I have many clients right and I'm thankful). also my own Blog site, Youtube channel and social media, and I also have a baby that needed me the most. So, putting up an online clothing store is not ideal for me. 

When I was pregnant I already wanted to buy a few pieces from Atippa Shop, however, it got me thinking it's very unwise to buy clothes from them If I have this huge belly and it's just a waste of money to buy pieces that I cannot wear.

So, I decided to buy pieces from them that are stretchable, and preggy-friendly, and I can still wear them during postpartum. At first, I bought 3 pieces from them, to be frank. they have a lot of beautiful designs and styles and it's hard to pick.

I bought the bodysuit and bodycon dress when I was pregnant. Then this past week I bought other pieces from them the cargo pants, sets and the bodysuit shirt.

Sexy Back Bodysuit

When I received it, I was so scared and worried that it might not fit me plus I have a big preggy belly, and it is so small.

But when I put it on, in my shock It fit me perfectly, it is so flattering in my body, the bodysuit is breathable and I totally love the material of the bodysuit. The only downside I wish they could update in the future is that they can put on a bra foam in the chest area.

I know you can use a sticky nipple or bra silicone but It's not that I always have a stockpile of them and just grab it anytime when I want to, right? Lastly, I wish they could put a snap button in the bottom area of the bodysuit, you know you have to pee and it takes a serious time and effort to go to the bathroom and get naked just to pee. 




HISO dress

Another happily satisfied order, it fits perfectly and flattering to my body as well. No problem with the material. So far, I am happy with the bodycon dress I am planning to buy other colors soon, like white and black.




Cargo Pants

I have love-and-hate feelings about this cargo pants. I love everything about the pants, it fits me well the size and the length is okay, however, the quality of the cloth is so sheer that everyone can see your underwear. I think this cargo pants is perfect for a beach trip, I bought the white one so maybe that's why it so sheer, they also have color black. Maybe black is safe to wear. 




Botega Short sleeve

This shirt is perfect, the quality of the cloth is very light and it fits perfectly. I like that this bodysuit short sleeve has a snaps button in the bottom so it is very easy if you are rushing to the toilet. I also like the idea that you can wear Botega Short sleeves in 3 different ways. It's like I bought 3 clothes in 1. 






Madison set

I've been wanting to buy the Madison set since I was pregnant but it doesn't feel right to buy one when my body is getting bigger and bigger (prego days). But now! that I finally get it, I don't know. I perfectly love the bra and the shorts, but the cover-up button-down shirt is a bit small. I wish they make it wider or larger. But all in all, the quality is super good.



My Final Thoughts

That's it loves, finally, I am able to make a review with the Local Thai brand Atippa Shop. I honestly love all their clothing designs, because they are cheaper and they always have something new. It makes me feel like I want to buy all. But then again, it's unwise!

 I've heard a lot of influencers promoting the brand Fashion Nova. I also remember this artist, Zhavia, who appeared on the television show The Four: Battle for Stardom. In one of her songs, "Fashion Nova got us in a house (ay), L.A living." So, it made me curious about Fashion Nova.



A Short Background

Fashion Nova was started in 2006 and is based in Los Angeles. Fashion Nova has always been privately owned, and CEO Richard Saghian has been in charge of it. He sells cheap "clubwear" and other clothes in malls around Los Angeles. He started the e-commerce site in 2013, and Instagram has always been a big part of it. Before he started Fashion Nova, Saghian had 60,000 followers on his personal account. He used this near-macro-influence to build a loyal following for his new brand. Saghian was one of the first people to realize that social platforms would soon be a key part of successful branding. He did this by jumping on the social media marketing wave early.

The Strategy

The brand also made its own success by using a strategy that has become trendy, if you get my meaning. There are a lot of fashion blogs out there. Fashion Nova knew this and started reaching out almost right away. Using its image as a fun and welcoming brand for all women, even those with more curves, it linked up with some of the most popular bloggers online. Most of the time, these bloggers had thousands of followers and subscribers on their social media sites and on their blogs as well. This meant that the more Fashion Nova made new lines and worked to improve its image, the more people started to recognize it as a brand.

The idea behind the brand, according to the brand itself, is to copy what works. This literally means that Fashion Nova looks at what stars and celebrities are wearing on social media and then makes their own versions. These versions are based on the cultures of famous people.

Basically, Fashion Nova pushes their brand through influencers to get noticed by millions of people. The Power of Influencer Marketing

You can slowly gain momentum if you find influencers in your circle and pay or otherwise reward the lower-level ones. People will want to wear those clothes, so fashion has the upper hand here. And Instagram's focus on pictures makes it a great match. We do not need to talk about making great pictures for Instagram because we have already done that. The clothes are the stars at Fashion Nova, as they are at every other fashion store.

Utilizing the Social Media

Behind all of that, though, is the mission or ethos. The site almost goes out of its way to get you to share. Instagram is a great place to learn how to run a profile because it is easy to share and full of hashtags. Do not think that what they are doing is advertising for free. They have used influencers and hashtags to start a movement. But, with over 7 million followers (as of today), it seems like Fashion Nova is showing every other fashion brand how to use Instagram correctly.

In Conclusion

My takeaway from this successful clothing brand business is that they really know how to work with their social media. Half of the population is now on social media. People watch YouTube videos more than regular TV programs on TV, and the most effective way to reach the customer is to dominate social media with the right influencer. Plus, their designs are very customer-friendly. I saw this hot dress by Kylie Jenner, but it's crazy expensive and when I checked Fashion Nova, they have almost the same style.

In conclusion, Fashion Nova really gets the attention of the customer.

 I've seen a lot of influencers on Instagram having this minimalist dark monochromatic feed and they look interesting and sexy. They look powerful, confident and mysterious, and made me want to buy what they are wearing. So, I bought clothes that are almost the same to their style, the black and white outfit.

 One of the main concerns I have after my normal delivery is getting back into shape. However, it is not easy to devote your entire attention and focus to working out when you have a newborn to look after, feel worn from restless nights, need to clean the house, and so on. My body has been through a lot in the last 9 months! It may take some time to transition to a new normal, so I'm giving myself time to recover. Meanwhile, shapewear is a great way for me to support my body in the coming weeks.

 As we all know, fashion always comes back. For example, the high-waisted loose-fitting "mom jeans" used to be big in the late 90s and they came back during the 2000s; another one is the scrunchies were everything in the '80s and now we can see them all over Instagram; and who can forget the puffy sleeves that were so popularized in the late 1800s and now we can see them on the runway. Another great example is Y2K fashion, which made a huge comeback last year 2021 and continues to do so today 2022.

I don't want my Pregnancy to be boring so I make an effort to dress up and be presentable. I do love my pregnancy body, I love how my body evolve and changed. There are times that I find it difficult especially when I'm sleeping but I manage it and survived day by day. There are also some moments when my belly was so heavy however I am surprised at myself how strong I am, still doing some of my usual routines like my day job, long walks, carrying grocery bags, general cleaning in our house and many more.

 My pregnancy is unplanned and I’m not ashamed of it, though it was scary at first, anxious, worried and a lot of emotions going on. However, through the days and months, I’m thankful and happy that my partner, our family and friends are very supportive of my pregnancy. And this doesn’t stop me to enjoy my pregnancy and experiencing everything that I deserved. Me and my partner supposed to have Babymoon in Phuket, but due to the surge of a new variant, I’m very worried that I get caught in this pandemic. I mean I can take all the risks of travelling if it’s just me but there is someone already inside me and I got to be responsible for all my decision in life. So, we decided instead of going to Phuket why not do the Maternity Shoot in Bangkok with a real Photographer.

 Ever since I was young, I've already been a jewelry type of girl. I remembered wearing different types of beaded jewelry, silver and dangling earrings. Imagine the Y2k fashion jewelry collection with bold beads, colorful acrylic rings and delightful daisies. I'm such a fan, but as time passed by and I grew older, my jewelry collection also changed. I am currently in love with gold necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets. However, I don't invest too much in real gold jewelry. I prefer gold-plated or those that don't rust or fade. The reason is that I'm a budget-type of woman. I started my gold jewelry collection way back in 2020. You may check out my Most Worn Jewelry Blog post HERE. And now I'm so happy to find another local brand that really has good quality jewelry, Meirie Accessories.

 I always keep changing my style, the last time I remember I love to wear black or anything sexy dark inspired by Ida Andu and Angelique Manto's style. Now, I'm back into neutrals again, focusing more on beige, white, cream, brown, camel, and nude colors. Neutrals are always in season, whether spring, summer, or fall. You will never go wrong with neutrals. I've been getting a lot of inspiration lately from fashion blogger Sara Crampton of Harper and Harley.com and Hannah Desai from Cocobeautea. They really pulled off styling neutral colors, classic, elegant and minimal. I'm in my second trimester now and I'm currently loving the refreshing colors of Neutrals.

Every pregnancy is unique and for "first-time moms-to-be" like me, I get excited with everything from what to wear, skincare routine, what to buy for the baby and postpartum stuff. If you can just see my phone full of screenshots of the online store and my overflowing cart ready to be check-out, that's how excited I am. However, I find it very costly to get pregnant especially for clothing, my clothes do not fit anymore and also my undergarments. Luckily I found these maternity clothing hacks that really saved my pocket.

 Have you ever wonder how do fashion brands come up with the same colors each year? Do they talk and decide? Who really decide what will be the fashion color each year? These questions really bothered me. So as everyone has been doing, I did my research and I discovered Pantone.

 "Researchers Keith Jacobs and Frank Hustmyer discovered in 1974 that colors can greatly affect our moods and the way other people respond to us. Amazingly, colors can even change our heart rate, blood pressure and respiration." --https://www.scienceofpeople.com/color-psychology/.
