Floral Print Green Dress | Rosegal

28. September 2016

// PR SAMPLE / FASHION / AFFILIATE LINKS //

Moving apartments seems to be a never ending progress sometimes, especially if you are waiting for the delivery of some of your new furniture. I still do not have organised all my stuff and this leads to spending most of my free-time on actually tidying up and sorting my things. Nevertheless, luckily I still have enough material of different product and photoshoots on my camera, which is why I am still able to post at least some reviews occasionally. Today, I have a really beautiful Floral Print Green Dress to show you, perfect for festivities or if you want to feel a bit more special, too.

This Floral Print Green Dresslink was provided to me by Rosegal. I never ordered or heard from this online apparel retailer before, but this dress directly caught my sight. As you already know from some of my other fashion posts I love floral prints and I have a weakness for grabbing these kind of clothes on my shopping sprees.

This A-shaped dress not only has a beautiful flowers print, but it also has a beautiful green shade which you won’t find very often. It is a pastel turquoise/emerald shade and I would assume that it looks beautiful on any hair and skin color.

The fabric of the dress has a soft touch and looks like some silky elegant material, but it is made from polyester. Unfortunately, it is prone to crinkling and was already pretty much full of crinkles when it arrived. Although I ironed it, you can still see some of them. But I have to confess I wasn’t very patiently ironing it either.

I ordered size XXL since the sizes of the fashion items on this site are asian sizes and I was not sure whether the smaller sizes would fit around my waist. It is a bit too large around the sleeves, so probably L or XL would have been better here. Yet, it is still wearable and looks beautiful. Oh, and it comes with the belt, also!

What are your thoughts about this dress? I guess I’m really happy about it.  You can get this dress from Rosegal for 21.94 US$.

Zaful Dreamy White Flower Dress

24. August 2016

Most of the days during the year I’m wearing a dress because it is so simple to pull on in the early morning. Usually, my day dresses are simple or girly but for some occasions I love wearing more special dresses. The Dreamy White Flower Dress from Zaful online store is one of the special kind:

Zaful Dreamy White Flower Dress

Zaful is an online retailer for apparel offering affordable and trendy fashion with standard free shipping world-wide for orders over 30 US$. Since they are based in Asia standard shipping takes a couple of days, but still I was surprised how fast I received my items. Unfortunately, the package arrived one day before my vacation so I was not able to review it any earlier.

Zaful Dreamy White Flower Dress

Actually, the dress is a round collared short dress but it has a beautiful transparent layer of fabric printed with a white and black flower pattern on top. The layers of the fabric reach down to the ground for me and my height of 1.64 m.  I love the layers of the skirt and that it is transparent from the knees downwards. The fabric of the dress below is polyester and it is a very slippery fabric. The layers on top are from a harder material which ends to be a bit stiff, but altogether the dress is sewn nicely. The size is a bit too large for me. Usually, I order L for most asian clothes, but here it said to order a larger size and I was unsure and ordered XL…probably L would have been the better fit, but it is not tragic.

Together with the dress goes a beautiful pair of feather/leaf-shaped accessories.  I chose a necklace and a bracelet here:

Both are made from gold-colored alloy and fit perfectly together.

What do you think from this look? I really like how princessy the dress is, but the fabric is a bit stiff and does not always lie were you want it. The size was a bit too large for me around my shoulders, but still it is wearable. I think it is a pretty birthday-princess dress ♥ I especially love the combination of the bracelet and the necklace. Although the bracelet is a leaf and he necklace pendant are feathers I though both were very similar and fit to one another. I’ve worn this combo really a lot in the last week.

Get the look here:

Striped Mix & Match Strappy Dress by Romwe

15. May 2016

// PR SAMPLE / FASHION / AFFILIATE LINKS //

Dresses are usually my favorite clothing item because they are so easy to put on. But sometimes you get bored of the one fabric all over. For such occasions a mixed dress is great, like this Striped Mix & Match Strappy Dress from Romwe. It looks like a two-piece but still is an easy one-piece.

Striped Mix & Match Strappy Dress by Romwe

Romwe is an online fashion retailer with the saying “from runway to realway”, sellingfashionable clothes for affordable prices. They ship internationally, and you will find very unique fashion items there from time to time. Just have a look at my previous review for the floral pleated skirt.

Striped Mix & Match Strappy Dress by Romwe

I love striped black and white items, they have some kind of happy vibe, I do not know why. The upper part of the dress also has some attached straps, which make the dress quite cute looking. The straps are loose, so they won’t be fixed on the shoulders. You can cross them on the backside. The belt is not part of the dress, by the way, but I think that this dress looks best when worn with a belt. I also love to combine it with a necklace, like the elephant necklace above.

Striped Mix & Match Strappy Dress by Romwe

The lower part of the Striped Mix & Match Strappy Dress is plain black and has a straight shape. Here I have to point out that from the image on Romwe you might think that this dress has a A-shape dress, but it hasn’t, and if you planned on buying this dress because of the A-shape you might reconsider it. The length of the dress is long, but not a maxi, still it goes over the knees. It looks very pretty combined with flats.

Striped Mix & Match Strappy Dress by Romwe

The Striped Mix & Match Strappy Dress retails for 12.99 US$ from Romwe. It is available in different sizes, S, M, L and XL. I ordered it in size M and it fits perfectly. Since the material is partly stretchy, especially at the top. I think that S might have worked for me aswell, but with asian online sizes I’m always safer with one size larger. The description says the material is cotton, but I think that the upper part is made from polyester, too. The lower part looks like cotton and has a thin material, so this dress is mainly made for summer. You can check out my Spring Wishlist for some of my other fashion inspirations from Romwe.

Review: Knitted Dress from Gearbest

5. March 2016

It’s time for a fashion post again. This time I will be reviewing a knitted dress from Gearbest. I really love wearing knitted dresses, especially for fall/winter and early spring, as long as the weather is still too cold too wear the thinner summer fabrics.

Knitted Dress from Gearbest

Gearbest is a online apparel retailer, featuring their products at directly factory prices. Most of their products are from Chinese retailers, and thus you might find similar clothes as featured in platforms like Taobao or Aliexpress. They have a great amount of different sytles of dresses >>here<<. I selected A-line ladylike knitted dress with long sleeves. It is a onesized dress labelled with size “XL”. Since I know that asian clothes usually are smaller than the ones in Europe or US I was sure that it would not be too large for me, despite the size.

Knitted Dress from Gearbest

The color of the dress is described as wine-red and also in the images on the site the dress looks whine-red. The dress I received is more of a usual cherry red color than whine red. The fabric is acrylic. The black parts of the sleeve and the black area of the color are patched to the dress. In the promotional images the dress looks a bit more fitted, but it is more like an oversized pullover. It’s too short for my height (1.64 cm) to be worn without any shorts below. It has some seams which are not nicely sewn, but if you have a sewing machiene or know someone, this is not more than 5 minutes work to fix. Despite the minor remarks and the slightly different color the dress looks pretty and can be combined to a cute dress when wearing some dotted tights and accessoires.

Knitted Dress from Gearbest

I also found some cute bags which would be a great fit for dresses like the knitted dress above. The first one is a winged backback which is really adorable. My second choice for this dress would be the hat-shaped shoulder bag. Which one do you like better?

The knitted dress I’ve been showing you today is available on Gearbest >>here<< and retails for 21.50 US$.

How do you like the dress?

Guestpost: Make-up Talks – From Daywear to Evening Wear

12. August 2015

Today I have another guestpost for you. This post about Make-up Talks describes how to transform your daywear to evening wear and has been written by Peter Minkoff, style editor at High Style Life. Enjoy the read!

Make-up Talks – From Daywear to Evening Wear

Make-up Talks - From Daywear to Evening Wear

For all girls who work crazy hours and are professionals at our workplace, but still want to keep our social life going, it’s important we learn how to manage work and fun, all in the same day! And while it seems impossible to look amazing after a 10 hour work day, it all comes down to a few beauty and outfit tricks you need to master.

Assuming your workplace requires casual smart dress code (as most offices do), it won’t be too difficult to manage it all.

As a stylist, I’ve picked up some amazing tricks of the trade that will surely help! Follow this guide I’ve put together and learn some incredible stuff that will keep the glam queen in you ready to rule the dance floor after she’s been leading the team at her workplace the entire day!

Where do I start?

Make-up Talks - From Daywear to Evening Wear

Well, it’s all about the plan. If you know you’ll be going out after work, then dress in such a way that you’ll be able to manipulate your outfit before you go out. Instead of putting on a pencil skirt, opt for super skinny jeans and a jacket over it. Jeans works perfectly and is easy to combine with virtually anything!

The shirt under should be in a neutral color such as nude, beige, white, black to look professional at work and be easy for accessorizing later. Bring statement jewelry with you, you’ll later accessorize this seemingly plain shirt with later. When you leave work, just fold the jacket and put it in your bag. You’ll let the clever jean-shirt-necklace-outfit speak for itself!

What if I was dressed smart and it happens I need to go out later?

Make-up Talks - From Daywear to Evening Wear

In these cases, letting your hair down (literary) and going through it with your fingers, giving it that wild, messy vibe will do the trick. You want to erase that corporate stench off of you and nothing says “cool” better than your flowy locks falling loosely on your shoulders. Also, mind the makeup! Assuming you were in nude tones in your workplace, all it takes is to put a bold lipstick shade on, add a bit of concealer and blush, a fresh coat of mascara and you are ready to go! This is why I always advise girls I style to have their makeup emergency kit with them at all times – blush, concealer, mascara and lipstick in bold color.

If you were in a jacket and shirt, loose the jacket and unbutton the shirt a bit. It’s all it takes!

I usually wear flats to work. What do I do?

Make-up Talks - From Daywear to Evening Wear

If you have the option, and this goes for all situations, keep one pair of pumps in nude or black in your office drawer so you can put them on when you want to go out after work. Heels are pretty uncomfortable to spend eight hours in. You want to look chic, sure, but you want to be comfortable, too. No need to cause yourself pain. Replace your flats with a cool heel, and you are already half way there.

If,  however, you can’t keep shoes in your workplace, bring them with you to work in case you are going out afterwards. Just don’t put them in a plastic, see-through bag, they’ll draw attention.

What about hygiene?

Make-up Talks - From Daywear to Evening Wear

Eight to ten hours in a workplace can be pretty stressful and cause a lot of sweating, maybe even some unpleasant smells. You obviously can’t have your hygiene kit with you at all times BUT what you can do is always have a pack of paper tissues, lip balm, wet wipes and a pack of gums with you. Freshen up with wet wipes, and leave it dry for a second and you’re good to go. If you’ll be going to a party later, don’t forget to carry a decent bag to pack all those hygiene accessories for later. Also, check if there’s anything behind your teeth, then take a gum to freshen up your breath and you are ready to go!

See? It’s all as easy as I’ve promised!
