Chartreuse Chic
for eco friendly fashionistas


In case of emergency: Wear this dress

chartreuse-chic

Girls always want to look good. That's a no brainer. But admit it -- there are also those occasions, those less-than-special-occasions, where we don't just want to look good -- we need to look better than we ever have before. I'm talking awkward high school reunions, lunch with the "friend" who snagged your promotion, or, worst of all, the wedding of an ex... those times when you need to be absolutely certain that you can walk into a room and be "that girl" who looks effortlessly amazing.

First off, let me say I hope you can avoid as many of these events as possible. But if not? Wear this dress.

Your waist will look miniscule, your curves will look Dita-esque, and with a pretty pair of flats and your hands casually hanging out of the pockets, you'll look like it never occurred to you that seeing you ex-crush, ex-friend, ex-whatever might be awkward. Sure, it might be a little petty to get your revenge by looking that much better than anyone around you. But oh, it will feel so good.

ecoSkin Bamboo Peridot Dress $190.
GOOD B/C: Sustainable.


SALE ALERT: Just found code "APRICOT08" to get 20% off EcoSkin only at Nimli! So this fabulous dress can be yours for only $152.

Have you ever realized that when you buy readymade suits you get a choice of only a few colors & styles, also finding the perfect fit are quite difficult? Wouldn’t it be better to choose from over 2000 different British & Italian fabrics and get a tailor made suit at a similar price that you pay for readymade suits?

We are a company based in Hong Kong and have been providing custom made suits & shirts since 1997. With representatives in major cities around the globe we can arrange to show you the fabric samples and take your measurements, or you can also place your orders online with the help of our measuring guide. There are over 2000 fabrics to choose from along with all the latest styles.

All our suits and shirts are produced by highly skilled Shanghainese tailors in Hong Kong and delivered in about 4 weeks, express delivery can be made in 2 weeks at a minor extra cost. In case you are not able to find what you are looking for then please let us know your requirement may it be in words or by a photograph and we could arrange it for you.

We also have an outlet at the Hotel Intercontinental Budapest where you are most welcome to visit us. Though we are not located in streets like Savile Row (London), we have still been able to offer made to measure suits to many VIP’s from around the world.
