Tippytapp’s Favourite TaoBao Shops
Ahh TaoBao…everyone’s favourite guilty pleasure. Shopping on the Chinese e-commerce site can get pretty overwhelming though, so we got fashion blogger (and resident TaoBao shopaholic) Jessica Tham to share some of her favourite TaoBao stores. Here’s where to get stylish clothes, Pinterest-worthy jewellery, quirky home decor items and more.
Jessica’s outfit details: Blouse, Shoes, Hat
1. 鬼马少女家蘑菇街人气
If you’re looking to hop onto this season’s bohemian-style bandwagon, then this is the store for you. Besides airy maxi dresses in summer hues, you’ll also be able to find off-shoulder blouses and comfy shirt dresses here.

2. DIBO优尚精品女装店
DIBO has a wide selection of clothes, but not too much that it’s overwhelming. The clothes are a mix of casual and street style, so you’ll be able to find an assortment of denim dresses, ruffled blouses and geometric prints here.

3. Forevercan
If you’re more of the feminine sort, you might appreciate Forevercan (which may or may not be a play on Forever21’s name lolol). The clothes here are flirty and feminine, with pieces such as summer rompers, lace dresses and even tutu skirts to choose from.

5. TAMMY TANGS 糖力 高
Overly-Photoshopped model aside (and what’s up with that weird fringe?!), TAMMY TANGS is your go-to place for classy and feminine pieces in the prettiest hues. Besides off-shoulder party dresses and lace co-ordinates, you’ll also be able to find tailored shorts and maxi dresses here.

6. HAVE RICE 饭馆 摩登
Contrary to what its name may suggest, HAVE RICE is not a restaurant or homeware store. It does, however, have a decent selection of on-trend clothes. This is the place to find neutral basics with a twist, street chic separates (that might give COS fans a run for their money) and a handful of casual pieces.

8. 岛米原品 全场买二送
Too many clothes to warrant yet another TaoBao shopping spree? Have no fear, there’s always something to buy on TaoBao. In this case, perhaps you’d like a pretty new phone case? This store does phone cases in an array of pretty prints, classy motifs and hipster themes – for less than 10 SGD apiece, too.
