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$.

Pink Sheer Mesh Pleated Ballerina Skirt from SheIn

26. June 2016

I’ve been looking for a ballerina-type skirt for quite some time and finally I found one on SheIn. The Pink Sheer Mesh Pleated Ballerina Skirt does have this princess-y vibes, but also can be combined to an elegant garment.

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.

I’ve been seeing these kind of ballerina skirts much more frequently in the last years and I think it is a great idea to have one in your wardrobe. This pink colored mesh pleated skirt I’m showing here has a midi length and has an under skirt which is covered by a mesh layer. The waist is made from a stretchy part at the back and a non-stretch part in the front. It is also a one-sized skirt, but the stretch is only working to an extend. There is a ribbon on one side which can be used to bind a bow for decoration on the side. The material is made from polyester. The skirt looks lovely when combined with a corsage, for example like the one showed in the images.

The Pink Sheer Mesh Pleated Ballerina Skirt retails for 17.99 US$ on SheIn. Starting from 27th to 28th they will have a clearance sale as well. And they have a whole bunch of new off-shoulder blouses available at the moment. Remember my wishlist for off-shoulder blouses?!

What do you think of ballerina skirts? Would you wear something like this?

asian fashion fashion PR Sample Romwe

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?

♥ Pin It! ♥

asian fashion fashion Gearbest PR Sample

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.

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.

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.

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?

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: Vassen Naomi Blue Circle Lenses

30. October 2015

It’s Halloween tomorrow and I’ve prepared a new circle lens review for you just in time. I received Vassen Naomi Blue Circle Lenses from LoveShoppingholics and since I’m using these for my costume tomorrow it’s the perfect timing for this review, too. This is my first time receiving lenses from LoveShoppingholics, so I was especially excited to try these. Continue reading for my impression and my Halloween Make-Up:

First about my contact lens background: I wear my regular contact lenses a lot, so my eyes are in general used to wear contact lenses. Some words about my eyes in advance: My prescription is -0.25 and -0.5, which is why I choose plano lenses mostly, because these small steps of prescription are usually not available for fashion lenses. Also, my eyes have astigmatism, which is the reason that lenses which are not adjusted to my base curve might feel uncomfortable more quickly than for normal eyes.

I received these Vassen Naomi Blue Circle Lenses from LoveShoppingholics, a fashion contact lens online retailer. It was the first time I received something from this store and I was so surprised to see with how much love the package was put together. I literally fell in love! ♥ The lenses were packet in a adorable blastic bag inside a organza bag. Also there was a “Thank You!”-note included, which was lovely!

The lenses came in the typical vials, together with a animal lens case shaped like frogs. I love those animal lens cases and I’ve collected to many of these :D I chose the lenses without prescription. You can find the description of the Vassen Naomi Blue Circle Lenses >>here<<. As the name tells you I chose the blue lenses. They are also available in 3 other colors: grey, green, and red. Here are the properties for the lenses:

Diameter : 14.5 mm
Water Content : 45 %
Base Curve : 8.6 mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

Here are my thoughts on the Vassen Naomi Blue Circle Lenses:

Design:

I love these kin of design! By mixing three colors these 3-tone lenses blend in best with your natural eye color. The circle on the outside is not overly extreme and apart from the enlargement these look quite natural.

Comfort:

These lenses are more comfortable as other fashion lenses I tried because they have a higher water content. They are softer and less noticeable while wearing them.

Enlargement:

It has a visible enlargement. I have quite large eyes naturally, but I can imagine that these lenses look creepy on people with smaller eyes. The blue makes it even stand out more if you have a darker natural eye color.

And since it is almost Halloween I decided to wear some spookey Harley Quinn inspired Make-Up aswell. Hope you like it! :D

These are the favourite blue ciclre lenses I tried so far, so I can recommend you to check these. Especially since the water content is higher they are quite comfortable, despite the enlargement. You can buy the Vassen Naomi Blue Circle Lenses from Loveshoppingholics for 22.99 US$. Happy Halloween everyone!

Review: Lensvillage The Dolly Eye Crayon 217 Green Lenses

23. September 2015

The Dolly Eye Crayon 217 Green Lenses were provided to me for sponsoring by LensVillage weeks ago. My apologies for the late review! I love green eyes, but it is difficult to have natural looking green eyes with lenses if you have dark brown eyes naturally. Usually the colors don’t come through nicely, or it looks way to artificial, so you only can wear them for cosplay, costume partys or Halloween. Let’s see how these lenses by The Dolly Eye turn out!

I wear my regular contact lenses a lot, so my eyes are in general used to wear contact lenses. Some words about my eyes in advance: My prescription is -0.25 and -0.5, which is why I choose plano lenses mostly, because these small steps of prescription are usually not available for fashion lenses. Also, my eyes have astigmatism, which is the reason that lenses which are not adjusted to my base curve might feel uncomfortable more quickly than for normal eyes.

I received these lenses from The Dolly Eye from LensVillage. The lenses came in the typical vials, together with a buisness card and a regular lens case. I got the lenses without prescription. The vials are really cute from their design, because of the colors and the hearts on the labels. You can find the description of The Dolly Eye Crayon 217 lenses >>here<<. They are also available in 5 other colors: blue, grey, brown, pink and violet. Here are the properties for the lenses:

Diameter : 14.8 mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6 mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

Here are my thoughts on The Dolly Eye Crayon 217 Green Lenses:

Design:

The green of the lenses is a darker green color, almost turquoise. It is a pretty color and shows off on my dark eyes, too, but it doesn’t blend in naturally. It will look better on blue or green eyed persons and will probably intensify their natural eye color.

Comfort:

These lenses are not comfortable for m personally, but that is because of the base curve. The material of the lenses is soft, so I think that people with normal base curve will be able to wear these lenses for some hours, before feeling their eyes being dry.

Enlargement:

It has a visible enlargement, and since the color stands out heavily against my natural eye color it looks also dolly, almost creepy :D Perfect for Halloween or Cosplay.

These won’t be the lenses I would wear daily, rather these are better suited if you want to make an appearance. I think they can be also suited for a upcoming halloween costume. You can find The Dolly Eye Crayon 217 Green Lenses at LensVillage for US$ 19.50 >>here<<.

Review: Eos Jewel Brown Lenses

9. September 2015

This review for Eos Jewel Brown Lenses by KLensPop is super late, similar to my other lens reviews, but I simply didn’t have any access to my old data these past weeks, which makes it super hard to write any reviews at all. Nevertheless, here it is finally!

KLensPop kindly send me these lenses and I received lenses from them in the past, but since some time they always send their lenses in these illustrated cardboard boxes, which is a very cute idea. Especially, since the backside of the box contains a cute comic on how to use the lenses. Furthermore, apart from the lens vials, you receive a lens storage container and tweezers. The box also contains instructions inside, also on how to care for your lenses. I love this idea they included into their delivers, since it is very important to take care of your lenses and be hygienic with them. You will put the lenses in your eyes and you don’t want to get an infection there, believe me! (Sometimes it happens nevertheless, that you will get some irritation, but if you see your eyes are getting to red, simply give them a break from lenses until your eyes look normal again)

Eos Jewel Brown are simple soft lenses with a natural pattern. They are manufactured in Korea. You can find the description of the Eos Jewel Brown Lenses >>here<<.

Diameter : 14.0 mm, Graphic Diameter: 13.4 mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6 mm
Life Span : 6 month using period

Here are my thoughts on the Eos Jewel Brown Lenses:

Design:

The design is natural, but not too special. The dotted pattern blends in nicely with my brown eye-color.

Comfort:

These lenses are quite comfortable, since they are not overly large. I can wear them some time, before my eyes get tired. Probably, on eyes with normal base curve these are very comfortable. I had some problems at the beginning because they didn’t sit properly on my eyeballs.

Enlargement:

The lenses do enlarge slightly, but keep looking natural. It has no dolly effect.

These lenses work nicely with brown/darker eye-colors, but I guess it would look pretty with green colored eyes especially. The hazel-ish brown color makes the eyes pop a bit more than my regular plain brown eyes. It doesn’t look creepy with flash photography either.

And lastly, a selfie showing me wearing the lenses. The lipstick I’m using is Innisfree Color Glow Lipstick by the way. Since it is September it is time for cherry and burgundy shades again. Yeah!

All in all all, these lenses are nice for everyday use and come in a lovely packaging with all the information you need. You can get them from KLensPop for 25 US$. I would rate these lenses 7 out of 10, considering they are not perfect for me because of the base curve, but daily useable delivering a natural but still enhanced look.

Review: LensVillage The Dolly Eye Candarae ML5 Lenses

22. May 2015

I should have written this review of The Dolly Eye Candarae ML5 lenses in brown much earlier, but my eyes were a bit sensitive recently (due to spring time) and so it took me a bit longer. Finally, here is my review for these lenses, which were kindly send to me by LensVillage.

I received these lenses from The Dolly Eye from Lensvillage. The lenses came in the typical vials, together with a buisness card and an animal lens case. I got the lenses without prescription. The vials are really cute in their design, because of the colors and the hearts on the labels. And I love this hippo lens case ♥

You can find the description of The Dolly Eye Candarae ML5 lenses >>here<<. They are also available in other colors like blue, grey, green and violet. Here are the properties for the lenses:

Diameter : 14.5 mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6 mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

Here are my thoughts on The Dolly Eye Casndarae ML5 Lenses:

Design:

The rose pattern all over the lenses is very special and pretty. I had hoped that the pattern would be visible on my eyes, but unfortunately my eyes are too dark. I would have loved if the color of these lenses would have been brighter and more visible on my eyes.

Comfort:

These lenses are quite comfortable, since they are not overly large. I can wear them some time, before my eyes get tired. Probably, on eyes with normal base curve these are very comfortable.

Enlargement:

It has a visible enlargement, but nothing too huge and unnatural. I think this is a good size for people with naturally larger eyes.

Shipping:

Shipping was quick, but it was stuck in the customs this time. If you get standard shipping it will take 3-4 weeks. This is not the fastest shipping I experienced with standard shipping, but neither the slowest. The lenses were packed securely in bubble wrap plastic and they came with a cute animal shape lens case ♥.

Below you will find some pictures on how the lenses look on my eyes:

All in all, these are nice lenses. I the pattern would have been more noticeable they would be great for cosplay, but since the pattern almost dissolves with my natural eyecolor it looks surprisingly natural.

You can find The Dolly Eye Candarae Lenses at Lensvillage for US$ 19.50 >>LensVillage<<.

Review: The Dolly Eye 3D Bat Green Lenses

6. March 2015

Another lens review today! This time it is The Dolly Eye 3D Bat Green Lenses, which I received from Lensvillage. I reviewed previously another lens from The Dolly Eye >>here<< if you are interested, but first let’s jump right into the review:

I received these lenses from The Dolly Eye from Lensvillage. The lenses came in the typical vials, together with a buisness card and a lens case. I got the lenses without prescription. The vials are really cute in their design, because of the colors and the hearts on the labels.

You can find the description of The Dolly Eye 3D Bat Green Lenses >>here<<. They are also available in other colors like blue, brown, pink, grey and violet. Here are the properties for the lenses:

Diameter : 14.8 mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6 mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

Here are my thoughts on The Dolly Eye 3D Bat Green Lenses:

Design:

The design is very special. It has a pattern like ornaments. Also the green color of these lenses is more of a emerald-green. I think the design is very pretty and it also shows nicely even on my dark eyes.

Comfort:

These lenses were a bit uncomfortable after a while, because of the size, but other than this they are really soft and don’t hurt your eyes. Using eyedrops makes them quite wearable for lenses of this diameter.

Enlargement:

Enlargement is visible. It has a super dolly effect!

Shipping:

Shipping was quick since it came with FeDex this time. If you get standard shipping it will take 3-4 weeks. This is not the fastest shipping I experienced with standard shipping, but neither the slowest. The lenses were packed securely in bubble wrap plastic and they came with a cute animal shape lens case ♥.

Below you will find some pictures on how the lenses look on my eyes:

All in all, these lenses have a pretty design, which is not necessarily natural, but very pretty. If you want to use it for a costume/cosplay, you might like these because of the pretty color and the enlargement they provide.
