HER NAME is X-Wen. And she is a Singapore-based blogger of all things beautiful…that’s why she’s blogging about us! *shameless self-promotion*
Anyway, one week ago, X-Wen came shopping at GDO and fell in love with a gazillion outfits. She spent three hours at the shop and had loads of trouble deciding which pieces to get!
Click on the link below to read X-Wen’s tips on buying vintage, and all about her Fash-tastic romp at GDO.
