A few days ago I received my order or rather a part of it from Nastydress. Unfortunately just a partial order was shipped out but more about it later. First I want to show you the two sweaters which arrived on that day.

A cloud and star printed pullover. The moment I saw this sweater on the homepage, I knew that I’d like to have it. It seemed to be so fluffy on the picture and as I opened the package it didn’t disappoint me. It’s a cosy, cuddly sweater which is true to size but its colour isn’t grey like it’s mentioned on the site, it’s rather a light brown but it still looks good. I've had yet one problem with it: the yoke on the textile was sewed wrong and therefore you can’t make it nice flat. If this would be for example an office outfit, it would bother me but not in this case.

 
A dolman sleeve sweater in colour purplish blue. I've always liked dolman sleeves which is the reason I chose this. It’s true to size (one size, XS to M) and its colour is like shown on the picture in the online store. 


Overall I can say that I am satisfied with these sweaters. They had a processing time of 3 business days which means that the items were shipped out within 3 days. To my order I also added a jacket which I really wanted because my own leather jacket started to peel off. That should have been sent out within 7-15 business days.

A few days after placing my order I received a message from the store that my order was sent out. I was really happy about it till I saw the details: my package was sent out without the leather jacket. They put the label pending shipment to the item but I didn’t get any information about what it means or what will happen next, whether I will receive the jacket later or not.
I contacted one of the staff of Nastydress who told me to choose a new item. I picked another leather jacket but it wasn’t sent out either and the item went out of stock therefore I needed to change my choice again. Later I got a nice respond which said that my new choice will be sent out within a few days. I will update this post later and I hopefully can add a review about this striped sweater and skirt twinset that I selected instead of the jackets.


Well, stay tuned. I will definitely update this post.
 Till then feel free to leave a comment below. Tell me what you think about my new sweaters and about my experiences.

Lots of love,

Take aim and hit your goal

  "In life like in archery, you have to carefully take aim, to hit your goal." 


♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Summer came to an end (except when you live for example in Australia) and the fun with inflatable water barrels is now postponed for next year or for the next holiday you spend near the sea. But there are other ways to have fun with inflatable products. Doing archery for example which not only provides you fun but it also keeps you in shape. 
Practising this with inflatable sport equipment such as inflatable archery tag or bunker will protect your from some pain too. This archery tag game is very popular for parties and even for school events. They are portable and therefore you can set them up wherever you want: outdoor or indoor.

Buybubblefootball (https://www.buybubblefootball.com/) was established in 2008 and since then they became a leading company in the field of inflatable products. They have customers from all over the world, from Europe to Australia. If you have an idea that is not on offer at the moment, feel free to contact them with your customization whether you need a logo-printing or a personalised size, shape or design. Their aim is „to maintain (…) long term business relationship with (…) customers” and therefore they „promise to provide the most satisfied products”.


On the picture above you can see an inflatable archery bunker. It is made mainly in black and white but different colours are available upon request and to have your logo printed on it is free of charge. The delivery is made within 15 working days of payment and to Europe, Australia and North-America there is free shipping. Although you need to be aware that import duties are not included in the product price.
At the moment you can purchase the bunkers in 3 different designs and you have the opportunity to buy a whole archery game package which is a for 12 players. The kit contains 12 archery attack bows, 12 masks, 24 bow strings, 48 arrows, 11 inflatable bunkers, 2 target foam stands and 1 pump. If you buy it now, you will find the package on sale.

Have you ever tried archery? Would you practise it if you had the chance?

Elegant or casual in rompers and jumpsuits

Rompers and jumpsuits are still on trend and they can be worn at many different occasions. Floral prints give a great festival look, light colours are perfect on the beach. You can wear elegant black ones on a date or for going out with your friends and casual ones at a weekend getaway. Paired with different shoes and accessories you can dress them up or down and they are practical because you don’t need to think about what to wear with your pants or with your blouse. Maybe the only negative thing you need to face about them that some rompers and jumpsuits are really difficult to take off, so if you are visiting the restroom often, these might not be the right choice for you.

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8
 
The rompers and jumpsuits on the picture above are from StyleWe, an online fashion shopping platform that features independent fashion designers from around the world helping them to turn their dreams into reality. As I was browsing through the website (https://www.stylewe.com/category/jumpsuits-80), I found the items from Dabuwawa very impressive so I decided to make my wishlist from their one-pieces. The lady behind Dabuwawa is called Yuki who named her label after her favourite fairy tale.
I hope you like my selection and if you are not interested in rompers and jumpsuits, you can find some great items here or you can visit StyleWe for some inspiration on YouTube and on Instagram but they also have a blog with reviews.

Do you have rompers or jumpsuits? Which item from the picture would you like to add to your wardrobe? Let me know in the comment section below.

Time for bed, good night

  "Wear cute pyjamas... You never know who you will meet in your dreams."

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ 

When it comes to nightwear, people have of course different priorities. There are the ones who sleep in a casual t-shirt and shorts, the ones who prefer wearing pyjamas, the ones who sleep in underwear or even without and don’t forget about those who like to combine all these, pairing for example pyjama pants with a lovely top or a pyjama shirt with an underwear.
On the picture below you can see some great pyjama sets with different prints from The Reach London. I like it that you can even purchase just the pants if you want, so if you prefer wearing them with a shirt like I mentioned it before, you don’t need to buy the whole set. This feature also allows you to make up your own set: trousers and shirt in different sizes or prints.


The Reach London Pyjama Collection is designed and manufactured in London, England and the company is offering worldwide free shipping. Their luxury cotton pyjamas will be produced by a small London factory who supplies brands like Burberry or Victoria Beckham. The pyjamas are machine washable and with an adjustable drawstring waistband the trousers can be worn either on your hips or waist.

In order to put this collection into effect, The Reach London started their Kickstarter Campaign a few days ago and if the campaign will end successful they can start to sell this lovely collection.
Kickstarter provides a platform for funding which helps to bring great projects to life. Every project has a deadline and a funding goal and only if this is reached before the campaign expires, are buckers charged.  So if you like this project and want to help, you can support this collection and pledge some money here. Through this you will become a backer of this campagne and depening on the amount you pledged, you will get a unique reward which is offered by the creator.

What kind of pyjamas do you like to wear? Do you have a favourite? Let me know in the comment section below.
 
Have a great weekend.  :)
 
Lots of love,
