I heart mail ++ my987wardrobe.com

My week in Dublin was probably the worst of my life, for reasons I don't even want to talk about. The only good thing there was shopping, really (but I think I'm going to talk about that in another post). I never thought I could miss my home so much and I was so happy to come back. I was even happier when I found lots of parcels waiting for me - I'm convinced that getting mail is like the grown-up version of Santa, because you get exactly the same feeling!
Beside two packets from Romwe (tights and jewelry I won in a giveaway.. lucky me) and some rhinestones (?!) I also got something from lovely Laura at My987wardrobe.com.. look at the photos and guess what it is :)





Launched in 2010, My987wardrobe.com is an online shopping website for women where each and every item costs just £9.87 or £19.87. That's right: everything on the website (and that means jeans, dresses, jackets, bags, jewelry, hair accessories) costs less than £10 or £20! Such a cool idea. Also, the website is run buy a former Topshop buyer - this means you can't possibly find any rubbish there.



I was sent the Butterfly Back dress and the Vintage Style Lace dress to try. The first one has a beautiful cut-out back I fell in love with. When I chose this dress I wasn't too sure about it, but I turned out to like it very much! It's a bit too tight on my hips but nevermind, there's thousands of ways you can wear this dress.. as a t-shirt for example. It looks like a plain black dress from the front, but the detailing on the back makes it quite elegant and perfect for going out at night. Also, it's 100% cotton, so it's soft and comfy!
As you can see from the photos, the second one is really my style. Although I'm not a huge fan of full-lace dresses, I like this one - maybe because it reminds me of a vintage nightgown! The embroidered detail on the front is what makes this dress an actual one and not just lingerie in my opinion ;) I'll definitely be using this dress lot in the summer!

I really can't tell which one I like the most, because they're both gorgeous in different ways. I love how they both are so versatile: you can wear them at night and day just styling them differently. Overall, My987wardrobe.com made a very good impression on me. Although it's been called "the Primark of the internet", you can get quite good stuff there! I think the concept of selling everything at such a low price is interesting - the prices at H&M or Zara can be much higher sometimes. I'm curious to see how this website will develop!



PS: I changed the layout a bit. Do you like it? :)

Cutey - review and giveaway

Some time ago I was contacted by Cutey, a jewelry brand from UK. They've just started so they asked me to review their bracelets. I was very happy to receive the Gaia and Eris charm bracelets. Let's have a closer look at them, shall we?



The Cutey bracelets are made by beads of different colours and shapes. Each piece of jewelry comes with several beads that can be easily added or removed, so it's like having different bracelets! How nice is that? The picture below shows the Gaia bracelet. It features pink, light green and silver beads; some of them look like made of Murano glass, which I really like. My favourite part of the bracelet is the multi-faceted pink bead. It has a regular clasp, a bit difficult to close with one hand! I always find that kind of clasp a bit uncomfortable; you always need an extra pair of hands to manage it, haha! It's very feminine and classy overall - I think I'm gonna wear it a lot.





The Cutey bracelets come in two different chain lengths, 20cm and 18cm. The 20cm one, Gaia, fitted my wrist perfectly, while Eris was a tiny bit too tight. Nothing too uncomfortable anyway.



This one is Eris. It features red toned beads and a large key charm. It's a bit less girly than the Gaia one. It has a different clasp from the Gaia that you can see better in the photo on the website here, which I find easier to close. It's a pretty little bracelet, but I think it'd look even nicer without the red beads! Or maybe even without all the beads, just with the key charm. I'm a minimalist when it comes to jewelry, haha! ;)



I love how with Cutey you can get cute bracelets without spending hundreds of euros on a Pandora. You get the same style but a much lower pice - only £12,99! The Cutey bracelets are pre-made now, but soon you'll be able to choose your own beads to create a personalized bracelet, just like with Pandora.

Another thing I like about Cutey is the names of the pieces of  jewelry! Tartarus, Pontus, Hemera, Moirae.. they all come from the Greek mythology.. I love that!



As you can see, they look lovely even worn together, but I'm going to part with Eris (which, by the way, is already sold out on their website.) Yes, I'm going to give it away! Just fill up the form below to win a Cutey bracelet :)
