Cheap online shops. Worth it or not? Good & Bad Review.

So I've always wondered about those super cheap online shops that sell clothes for anywhere from $1-$10+. It seems crazy right? Like, it HAS to be a scam. Well today I'm doing a review on some products I got from Lovely Wholesale. Some positive, and some negative. 

I'll also link the exact ones that I ordered so you can compare the online photos to my personal review :)

Work Out Leggings:
+ Good: Super cute & looks just like the photo.

+ Bad: Somewhat thin cotton material.

+ Sizing: The whole "one size" thing is a bit... meh. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone larger than a size 4. They're super cute though and overall I'm quite happy with them.

+ Overall: Your typical cotton leggings. Not very thick, and not suitable for working out it. Awesome for going grocery shopping and making people THINK that you workout ;)

Mirrored Sunnies:

+ Good: Overall looks like photo and size & shape are flattering for my face.

+ Bad: Lens not as reflective as photo

+ Overall: I really liked how these looked online so I was reallllly hoping they wouldn't let me down. For $3.50, they're pretty dang good. One of my favorite go-to sunnies now. I wish they were a little more reflective and opaque but for the price, I think anybody would be happy with these.

Spiked Flats:

+ Good: Cute & looks just like photo.

+ Bad: Sole is a little hard.

+ Sizing: I'm usually a 6.5/7 and I ordered a 38 in these. Make sure to follow the size chart!

+ Overall: Very cute shoes. Sole is a little hard but honestly, if you're expecting some louboutin quality shoes for $8, you're the one who's cray cray lol. Shorter trips here and there should be completely fine in these. Quality is comparable to Aldo's flats.

Dream, Believe, Achieve Tee:

+ Good: Sincerely Jules tee dupe. Looks just like the original and is soft & comfy.

+ Bad: Overall shape is a little different from what I expected. Sleeves are not quite long enough to roll up and look like photo.

+ Sizing: Runs small. I ordered a large and fits slightly loose on me. Make sure to follow the size chart for this one too!

+ Overall: Design is very cute and for $6.49, its an AWESOME deal. Material isn't as high quality but it looks just like the original and as long as you get the right size, it'll fit nicely.

Harem Pants:

+ Good: Comfy and good for lounging.

+ Bad: Sizing and shape are a little off. I feel like some areas were too loose while others were too tight. Color is also more of a dark gray rather than the "black" that I ordered.

+ Sizing: Runs small/odd. I ordered a large in these too. The legs were slightly loose but not in the right way, and the waist was wayyy too large.

+ Overall: These were probably my least favorite of the bunch. The shape and size were just off for me. I wouldn't recommend these unless you have the perfect body type for these pants. I don't even know what kind of body that would be lol. Super long thin legs maybe? They also weren't as 'harem pants looking" as I wanted them to be.  I would only wear these around the house.

Overall Review:

If you're someone who wants a lot of cute clothes for a cheap price, Lovely Wholesale is a good  choice. Quality isn't the highest but for the price, a few of their things did exceed my expectations. Be VERY careful while shopping though. Pay attention to the sizing and product description! The description is much more reliable than the photos themselves. I also received one other item (outerwear) that I didn't like at all. It looked nothing like the photos, sizing was off, and the material was unflattering. I should have paid more attention to the description though so that was my fault. 

That's it! I hope this was helpful for you. Now go find something for yourself too :)

And thank you Lovely Wholesale for sponsoring this post!

Upgraded.

meet the ipod:

 Soooo my ipod is in pretty bad shape. It's been dropped about 3-4 times and each time, the cracks get worse and worse. Thankfully though, I got myself an upgrade:

S A M S U N G   G A L A X Y   N O T E  8

 

Oh ya, it's a fancy lil thing. I especially loooove high resolution screen, and the cute stylus that comes with it. It makes it super easy to write notes, grocery lists, and anything else you can think of. The best part is that there's a built in slot for the stylus in the tablet, so you never have to worry about losing it. Yay! I've found myself using the Galaxy the most either when I'm in bed before we go to sleep, checking emails, or when we're on the go. It's extremely lightweight and the size is absolutely perfect so you never have to worry about holding something bulky while traveling.

Now let's talk about the picture quality. As you probably would have guessed, I love taking pictures. If I could, I would take my DSLR everywhere. But that thing gets pretty heavy and sometimes it's not the most ideal thing to lug around. This is where my new tablet comes in. The photo quality isn't as good as a DSLR (obviously) but my photos do come out nice and sharp. Perfect for taking quick snaps on the go. 

hello beautiful new gadget.

As of right now,  I haven't used the tablet nearly enough to know all the perks that come along with having it. But so far, I'm extremely happy with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and I'm excited to take it with me everywhere. Besides, we could all use a little more technology right? It is the 21st century after all.

From Firmoo.com

Never heard of them before? Well lucky you because I'm about to introduce them to all of ya. Firmoo is an online company that offers super cute eyewear for both men and women. They have prescription and non-preconditioned lenses so whatever you need, they've got it. The other week I was contacted by Firmoo and they offered me a free pair of glasses, and in return, I'm doing a unbiased review for them on my blog. I chose >these< glasses and to be honest, I have been nothing but pleased. Husband likes them too. The only downside is that they fall down on my nose a little bit but that's because all eyewear does that on me. It's my asian nose. Dang it. But overall, I'm really happy with my pick.

A little more about Firmoo.com:

1. You can virtually try on the glasses by uploading a photo of your face.

2. Your glasses come with a hard case, soft case, and a little kit to fix your glasses just in case something goes wrong.

3. They are currently running an awesome program where EVERYONE can get their first pair of glasses for free! That's right, free. All you have to do is pay for shipping. They already ran out of the pair that I received so you better hurry up if you find something you like!

Merry almost Christmas friends <3

Now go get your glasses on.
