Floral Pleated White Skirt by Romwe

2. April 2016

Do you remember my Spring Fashion Wishlist I made some weeks ago? I absolutely fell in love with the key piece of my wishlist, the Floral Pleated White Skirt and now it is part of my wardrobe, that’s to Romwe.

Romwe is an online fashion retailer with the saying “from runway to realway”, selling fashionable clothes for affordable prices. They ship internationally, and you will find very unique fashion items there from time to time. I spotted this floral pleated skirt why I was looking for some spring fashion inspirations and it was love at first sight. The skirt is available in two colors: in green and in white, and both are simply beautiful and fit perfectly with springtime with their cherry blossom print.

In the past I never wore any white clothes but while getting older I much more appreciate the color especially for the warmer seasons. I think that soft colors and floral prints also make you look younger and remind you of childhood. The skirt is A-shaped and made of polyester, which is nicely sewn at the borders. The shiny material looks elegant, and I guess that the skirt can make a nice evening robe as well, combined with a blouse for example. The material has a soft touch and doesn’t feel like cheap material. Since it is a thicker cloth it holds the A-line shape nicely.

The Floral Pleated White Skirt retails for 19.79 US$ at Romwe, which is a good price for the quality. It is available in two different sizes, S and M, and since it is no stretching material you should check the measurements before you select your size. I bought size M and it is a perfect fit for me. You can check out my Spring Wishlist for some of my other fashion inspirations from Romwe.

How do you like this skirt? What are your favorite items to wear in spring?

Sleeveless Trench Coat from SheIn

16. March 2016

If you leave in a country with distinct seasons during the year you will know the problem of weather transitions between the seasons. Between spring and summer or summer and fall I’m always very undecided what to wear…it is either too cold without a coat or jacket, or too warm! I found the perfect solution therefore, spotted on SheIn: a sleeveless trench coat!

SheIn, formerly known as Sheinside, is an online fashion retailer since 2008, providing affordable fashion targeting women. Apart from clothing like dresses, tops and bottoms, you will also find accessories, shoes and jewelry.

They also have a good selection of jackets and blazers and this is where I spotted this sleeveless trench coat. I do love regular trench coats already, but a sleeveless version looks great, too, and especially it’s great for this spring season.

I combined the trench coat with a long-sleeved knitted dress in black which matches nicely to the grey color of the sleeveless trench coat. The coat is made of polyester without any stretch. It has a very nice touch and is really surprisingly soft and quite good quality. The seams are also sewn nicely and no complains in this point here. The coat has two pockets on each side, but it doesn’t come with a belt. I used a brown leather belt and combined it with a scarf and a hat for a more chilly weather…and of course with my luna shoulder bag :D

For the price of this coat the quality is really nice and I’m super happy and in love with this sleeveless trench coat. It is nicely sewn and feels nice, too. It is available in two different sizes “XS” and “S”. I selected “XS” and it has a nice fit for me (I’m 1.64 m tall). The coat retails for 30.79 US$ at the moment since it is on sale. There is a St. Patrick’s Day Promotion until 21st of March where you can get 40% discount on orders of +55 US$ with the code DS40 aswell!

Review: Soufeel Jewelry Christmas Charms

11. December 2015

Did you buy all your Christmas gifts already? If not I will introduce you Christmas gift idea: how about some Christmas charms from Soufeel Jewelry? Remember my last review I did for their charms and bracelets? This time I have some new charms for you which fit perfectly to the upcoming Christmas season. Also, these charms are not only great as presents, but also as a Christmas themed jewelry idea for yourself.

Soufeel was founded in 2011 and works for the slogan “For Every Memorable Day”. They offer charms, beads, bracelets and other accessories. The products are made from925 sterling silver and the charms can fit Pandora or Chamilia bracelet, too, which makes them a nice and more affordable option for these bracelets in case you own one of these. Moreover, they have over 500 designs of charms, so there is quite a large variety to choose from.

Like last time the items arrived in a beautiful packaging, again! My Soufeel Jewelry came in a pretty gift box and a bag was included, too. Packed like that it looks like a beautiful present to myself. The Soufeel logo was printed on the gift box and the bag, too, and gives it some elegant vibe. My selected charms were separately packed in tiny plastic bags inside the gift box, but it just took seconds to arrange everything into the bracelet. This time I decided to try a the Soufeel Wine Red Leather Bracelet and I selected 5 Christmas charms from their selection. I think they really fit nicely to each other. The Sleigh and the Reindeer charms are a set and count as one charm, but they can be separated from each other.

Apart from the Sleigh and Reindeer charm I selected a Snowflake, a Snowman, a Christmas Bell and a Snow-covered Log Cabin Charm. But there are many more Christmas charms on Soufeel. They are also on sale right now, so if you like charms like that you should grab the chance and get them during the holiday sale. The clasp of the bracelet is easy to open and to close and stays closed tightly, so you won’t lose your charms. Since the bracelet is very simple with a woven structure it can be worn on its own, too, but of course you can vary it with different charms as well. Below you see a comparison to my previous silver bracelet:

I think the silver bracelet looks more festive, but the brown leather bracelet is better for everyday. Also, the hardness of the silver bracelet is perfect for adding many charms, whereas the leather bracelet looks best with one or only some few charms. But that is only my opinion. Of course everybody can decide on his or her own how many charms to wear :D The pendant-type charms also look great when worn as necklace by the way.

I can totally imagine that the variety at Soufeel offers charms for almost every taste and I can recommend you to take a look at their page in case you like charm bracelets. They also have a variety of special offers. When you spend $59 you will receive a pair of free earrings. For $79 purchase you get a free charm and for $99 you get a free sterling silver bracelet! Additionally, Soufeel offers free shipping worldwide with orders over $50 and 365-day return and exchange guarantee. They also have daily deals on some products and a sale selection.

I’m very happy with my Christmas bracelet and charms and I’m looking forward to the holidays and all the Christmas events to wear these pretty charms. If you are a friend of charms and bracelets I would definitively recommend you to take a look at the variety of jewelry Soufeel offers. If you want to take a look at their products Soufeel offers my readers the coupon code Laven5 and you can enjoy 5% off for any order.

Which of these is your favourite Christmas charm?

Sammydress Fashion Review

28. November 2015

It’s been a long time since my last fashion post! I did so many beauty product reviews I hardly had time to spend on clothing :D Did you hear about Sammydress before? I could choose a couple of products from Sammydress for reviewing purpose recently and I was overwhelmed by the variety of clothing and fashion related items they offer. I never ordered there before, so I was really curious about the quality and the duration of delivery, especially since they sell their products for very affordable prices. I decided on a blouse, a belt and a shoulder bag to start with. Here is my impression:

Sammydress is a global online fashion retailer with a wide range of Women’s Clothing, Men and Women’s Shoes, Bags and Accessories, Casual Dresses, Special Occasion Dresses and Accessories, Wedding Dresses, Fashion Jewelry, Intimate Lingerie, Wigs, Cosplay Costumes, Men’s Clothing, Children’s Toys, Home & Living, Lifestyle Products and many more. The products are manufactured in China and thus they can provide affordable prices. They are shipping worldwide, too. Their online site is easy to navigate and very straightforward divided into the different topics of products they offer. Shipping took 12 days for the products to arrive at my doorstep.

Let’s start off with this amazing popcorn bag shaped shoulder bag: I saw this bag previously on another blog, but I could not remember which one (I think it was on Emi-Doll’s blog). The design of this bag is so unique, which is why I had to choose it in first place! I love these kind of extravagant, unique designed handbags! The bag comes with a chain shoulder strap, which can be removed if you don’t like it. I prefer shoulder bags, so I’m using it with the strap attached. The popcorn bag is available in black or red, and has a golden base color. The inside is made of canvas and can be closed by a string. It is large enough (14cm x 10cm x 21cm) to keep a phone, a small umbrella, a small book, and so on. During the transportation one side was bumped in a bit, but it could be brought back to shape easily. I really like this bag and at a discounted price of ~9 US$ during black Friday sales at the moment a total steal. Usually it retails for 25.83 US$.

Second item I chose was this rose flower buckled waist belt. The breach is made of two metal roses and the size is adjustable, too. Unfortunately, the adjustment is loose and you have to readjust every few second. You can fix it by using a clip or something, but I would sooner choose another belt, although the price of 7.09 US$ (sale price 2.55 US$) is really tempting. The belt looks beautiful once it is fixed, but it is not convenient to use after all.

The last item I selected is this Double Lace Collar Polka Dot Blouse in light brown. You can choose between so-called Coffee Brown and White on the page, but this one is neither Coffee Brown, nor White, it is more a sand/ camel brown color, but It is super pretty and looks cute. It also has a vintage style, which I really like and fits nice with trousers and with a shirt. It was very crinkled when I received it, but I could iron it at medium temperature and it was perfect again. On the advertorial picture the collar looks broader than it is in reality. Some of the seams are also not 100% accurate, but the price of 15.52 US$ (sale 8.18 US$) justifies these imperfections. The blouse is claimed to be one size, but I think it is best suited for people with size “S” or small. I have European size 36 and it fits just right at the shoulders. If you have broader shoulders it might be a bit tight for you already.

All in all, I love the blouse and I’ve been wearing it often already. The bag is super adorable, too! A pity the belt is not adjustable properly, because it looks pretty, too. Except for the minor imperfections like the seams and excess yarn I’m happy with the products from Sammydress. The quality is comparable to the products you can order from Taobao or Aliexpress for example. I can imagine to browse their store occasionally in the future, too. Oh, and Sammydress has Black Friday Sales at the moment (27th -30th November) with discounts up to 80 % on the whole site, so maybe you can make some good deals.

Did you know Sammydress before? what are your experiences?

Review: Soufeel Jewelry

22. July 2015

Charm bracelets have gained a lot of popularity in the last years and almost everyone has either heard from or owns products from brands like Pandora or Chamilia. Soufeel Jewelry is similar to the two mentioned brands and offers a wide selection of charm and bracelets with affordable prices.

Soufeel was founded in 2011 and works for the slogan “For Every Memorable Day”. They offer charms, beads, bracelets and other accessories. The products are made from 925 sterling silver and the charms can fit Pandora or Chamilia bracelet, too, which makes them a nice and more affordable option for these bracelets in case you own one of these. Moreover, they have over 500 designs of charms, so there is quite a large variety to choose from. It was really hard for me to decide on a couple of charms, since there were quite many pretty ones after all. Nevertheless, in the end I decided for 5 charms and a bracelet.

After a while the items arrived and were beautifully packed, too! My Soufeel Jewelry came in a pretty gift box and a bag was included, too. Packed like that it looks like a beautiful present to myself. The Soufeel logo was printed on the giftbox and the bag, too, and gives it some elegant vibe. My selected charms were separately packed in tiny plastic bags inside the gift box, but it just took seconds to arrange everything into the bracelet.

Beautiful, isn’t it? I decided for a regular silver bangle bracelet with a barrel clasp. The clasp is super easy to open and to close and stays closed tightly, that you won’t lose your charms. Since the bracelet is very simple it can be worn on its own, too, but of course you can vary it with different charms as well. Let’s take a closer look at the charms I selected now:

Soufeel offers really a large selection of charms, so it was not easy to choose, but in the end I decided to go for some red colored charms, like the Red Travel Suitcase and the the Strawberry Pendant. I love strawberries and since it is a pendant you can also wear it with a necklace for example. I also spotted my birthday stone for November, which has champagne colored Swarovski crystals embeded. I love Swarovski crystals, so I’m totally in love with that birthstone. The Starfish Pendant is not really red colored, but more a orange color, nevertheless I think it fits nicely to the suitcase and reminds me of traveling and vacation at the beach. Last but not least, my favourite charm from this selection, the Crown Pendant! It says crown pendant, but for me it is the Frog King pendant and reminds me of the fairytale. The crown on top of the crystal ball looks almost magical to me!

Do you see the tiny logo on the barrel clasp of the bracelet? I really love the details here…I would totally like to wear the pendant-type charms as necklaces, too, since the motives are really pretty on their own already, but wearing all of them with the charms bracelet looks pretty, too.

I’m very happy with my bracelet and I love the variety Soufeel offers their customers and the possibility to fit the charms with bracelets and/or charms from other companies. If you want to take a look at their products Soufeel offers my readers the coupon code Laven5 and you can enjoy 5% off for any order.

Earrings from NeverLoseHopeStandUp Etsy Shop

2. April 2015

I browse through Etsy once in a while and I’m always amazed by the cute and unique stuff you can find there. Lately, Suley, the owner of the Etsy Shop “NeverLoseHopeStandUp“ contacted me and asked if I would like to try her handmade earrings. I love handmade stuff and I love jewelry, so of course I agreed and selected two of her beautiful earrings. Surprisingly, when the package arrived, I found three earrings inside the gift box, which totally made me happy. If you like unique, handmade jewelry have a look at these beauties below and if you like what you see pay a visit to Sulay’s Etsy Shop. There is also a discount coupon code for my lovely readers at the end of the post ♥

Suley, the owner of “NeverLoseHopeStandUp” comes from California, US, and opened up this Etsy Shop last year (according to Etsy on 3rd of April, so it is almost her anniversary! Congratulations!). She sells self-made jewelry, mostly earrings, but also rings and neclaces. You will find cute heart- or flower shaped jewelry, but also elegant ones. I ordered from her shop as regular customer and the order arrived within 1.5 weeks from US to Germany, which is great. The earrings were packed in a cute box and wrapped with bubble wrap.

The first pair of earrings I selected was this pair of Swarovski earrings called “Mrs. Swarovski”. It has a beautiful color, shimmering in multiple purple/green shades. I have some Swarovski jewelry, but I didn’t have a shade like this yet. These earrings are simple hanging earrings and I think they look very elegant.

The second pair of earrings I selected are more simple, cute studs shaped like a rose. They have the name “Mrs. Red Rose”. From the two earrings these are really affordable and cost only 3 US$. The Swarovski earrings are priced at 12 US$, but the price is still affordable regarding the Swarovski stones.

I recieved this third pair of earrings surprisingly, together with some cute notes. I couldn’t find them in the shop, but these heartshaped resin crystal studs are adorable! They fit for everyday and have a beautiful shimmer, although they are no real crystal.

Isn’t that cute? ♥ Love the bear emoji ♥ :D All together, I’m super happy with my new jewelry and with the Etsy Shop “NeverLoseHopeStandUp”. If you like what you saw here, please pay a visit to the store. As I promised, there is also a discount coupon code for you: SCHNEELUV15 will give you 15% discount on all orders! Hope you liked this post and tell me what is your favourite out of these three adorable earrings :)

accessoires Daniel Wellington fashion PR Sample

Daniel Wellington Classy Bristol Watch

4. March 2015

Honestly, the last time I was wearing a watch was before I had my first mobile phone. Remember those oldschool Nokia mobiles? Without internet! Almost unbeliveable today…The moment I had my first mobile phone made it unnessasary to me to wear a watch, since I had the time displayed on my mobile anyways. These days I kept on wishing for a classic watch, just for wearing on special occasions for example, when you do not want to grab your phone every few minutes in order to check the time…or even if you do not want to cary your phone out at all. So here is the Daniel Wellington Classy Bristol watch I’m wearing these days and I’m very happy about it!

Daniel Wellington is a young swedish watch manufacturing company. They focus on producing elegant watches with interchangeable straps. The watch I selected from their online shop is called “Classy Bristol” and you can find it >>here<<. All their watches are available with either rose gold or silver cases. I think rose gold is a color which will always be considered classy and elegant, that is why I chose the color for my watch. I also do love the brown leather strap. It makes the watch super wearable to all occasions. Apart from leather straps in brown and black, Daniel Wellington offers a range of NATO straps. NATO straps derived from the british navy and they are offered in different colors and patterns. So if you get bored by the leather strap of your watch you can easily switch your strap.

My Daniel Wellington Classy Bristol watch was delivered in a beautiful leather case in dark brown and white with the logo of the company imprinted on it. The Classy Bristol watch has a case diameter of only 26 mm and is quite thin with 6 mm case thickness. I do not much like big watches, so this flat and smaller watch was perfect for my liking.

The most beautiful part of the watch is the index, which is made of Swarovski Stones. The watch has a Japanese Quartz Movement and the case is made of stainless steel. It is water resistent to a certain extend (3 ATM).

All in all, I am pretty happy with my new watch and if you like elegant, but simple watches I can recommend you to check out Daniel Wellington. With the coupon code DW_inthesnow you’ll receive 15 % discount until 31st of March, 2015. Simply check out their site at www.danielwellington.com. They do ship worldwide with your purchase of a watch.

Do you wear watches? What are your favourite ones?

Review: My new glasses from Firmoo ♥sponsored♥

6. January 2014

Happy new year everybody! Long time no see, but finally I’m back and I have a lot of new reviews on my list. I was so busy during the holidays, that I had barely no time for doing anything for my blog. I’ll start off this years first review with a pair of glasses which were kindly sent to me by www.firmoo.com. I was very happy when they asked me to review their glasses and even more happy that I could get the glasses in my prescription.^_^

Probably some of you have already heard about www.firmoo.com, a popular online eyeglasses shop. They offer varieties of prescription glasses for affordable prices. they offer a huge variety of Men’s and Women’s Glasses and of sunglasses as well. I was pretty amazed at the selection and I had a hard time to decide which ones to choose. Finally I selected a pair of unisex full frame acetate glasses in tortoise (black with brownish freckles). These glasses are the kind of fashionable nerd glasses you see quite often in the web. My other pair of glasses a bit smaller than these, but I really wanted to try larger and more nerdy glasses XD. Here is the link to my glasses:

http://www.firmoo.com/eyeglasses-p-2302.html

The glasses came pretty fast and they were provided with a bunch of accessories: a free hard protective spectacle case, an eyeglass bag and a piece of micro-fibre lens cloth. They also enclosed a repair kit including screws, screwdrivers and replacement nose pads, which I didn’t expect at all and it made me very happy. Since I’m wearing glasses since my childhood I experienced it quite often that the screws get loosen by the time. This kit is more then helpful in my opinion.

What really helped me to select the proper pair of glasses is the virtual try-on system that they provide on their page. You can either upload a picture of you or use the example pictures, to see how the glasses look on you. I used one of the example pictures which had the same PD (pupillary distance) value and it turned out perfectly and was just as I imagined it to be.

One thing I have to mention at this point: It is important to know your exact values for your glasses, even if you don’t need prescription I can recommend you to get your pupillary distance (PD) measured by an optician. This is important to get glasses which fit you.

I have to say, that I really liked their service. I had some difficulties ordering by myself, but they helped me very quickly and did the order for me. Another thing which is really great for anybody who never bought glasses online before is the “Free Glasses” event they provide (http://www.firmoo.com/free-glasses.html). Every day they provide a limited amount of coupons for a pair of free glasses. All free frames come complete with 1.50 single vision lenses, complimentary cases, cleaning cloth and other accessories. You just need to pay shipping. It’s a great way to test, if the way of ordering glasses online convinces you, or not.

I can recommend Firmoo to everybody who wants to buy glasses online. Check out their page at:

http://www.firmoo.com

If you have a blog and you are interested in cooperation with them follow the link below:

http://www.firmoo.com/z/firmoo-business-cooperation.html Also, if you use the codemisslavenblogs4 you have the chance to geta $30

voucher. It can be used 5 times on the frames for the Classic series Eyeglasses and is valid for one month.
