Eu tenho ouvido coisas boas e coisas más sobre a Dressale, para aqueles que não sabem a Dressale é uma loja online que vende roupas, vestidos de casamento e para todo o tipo de festas, sapatos e algumas peças de decoração para a casa, eu finalmente decidi fazer uma encomenda e ver por mim mesma o que é verdade e mito sobre esta loja.
Sobre o tempo de entrega, demorou cerca de um mês para chegar, o que é o normal vindo da China para Portugal. Ao fim de três semanas, eu decidi enviar um e-mail para atendimento ao cliente só mesmo para ver se a sua comunicação era boa, porque essa era uma das reclamações que mais li. Posso dizer que primeiro recebi a encomenda, e só uma semana depois da encomenda chegar é que me responderam, de modo que sim, o atendimento ao cliente é um problema que eles têm de corrigir.
Eu encomendei duas t-shirts, uma é tamanho M e a outra é XL e curiosamente a M é maior que a XL, eu não percebi como  funcionam os tamanhos, mas felizmente ambas serviram-me. Certifiquem-se que verificaram bem as medidas antes de fazer a encomenda.
Recebi a t-shirt Celine, que já andava à procura a algum tempo, mas como elas eram sempre um pouco caras para uma simples t-shirt, acabei por esperar e apenas encomendei agora.
O material é muito suave e já lavei a t-shirt e as letras continuam impecáveis. Eu digo isto porque algum tempo encomendei uma camisola com letras assim e assim que a lavei começou logo tudo a descolar.

I have heard good things and bad things about Dressale, for those who do not know Dressale is an online shop that sells clothing, wedding and evening dresses, shoes and some house pieces, I finally decided to make an order and see for myself what this store is all about.
About the shipping time, it took about a month to arrive, which is the normal time. On week three I decided to send an email to Costumer Service to see if their communication was good because that was one of the complaints that I read more about. I can say that I got the order first, then Dressale replied to email, so that's a problem that they have to fix.
I ordered two t-shirts one is size M and the other is an XL and the M size is bigger than the XL one, so I didn't understand how their size chart works but luckily they both fit me. So make sure you check the sizes before you place an order.
I got a Celine shirt, I was looking for one for a really long time, but they were a little expensive for a simple t-shirt, so I decided to wait. The material is really soft and I washed the shirt already and the letters still the same. I'm telling you this because I once ordered a shirt online and when I washed it the letter started to lift off.

Encomendei também esta t-shirt, assim que a vi no site carreguei logo em comprá-la. Mas fiquei um pouco decepcionada quando ela chegou. Eu pedi um XL para me certificar de que a t-shirt ficava grande em mim, mas o tamanho é realmente muito pequeno, eu gosto mais de verde este tipo de t-shirts, com aquele aspecto mais largo, não tão colado ao corpo, acho que fica muito melhor.
O material não estica de todo e tenho que confessar que tive bastantes dificuldades para fazer com que me servi-se. Estava realmente animada para receber esta e não foi de todo o que eu esperava, é muito bonita e é exatamente como a imagem do site, mas o problema com o tamanho incomodou-me.
No geral, a loja tem coisas muito bonitas, apenas têm que ter atenção com a falta de comunicação e tenham em mente os tamanhos, não se fiquem pelo visto M portanto encomendo M, confirmem as medidas do M, porque pode ser na realidade as medidas de um S.
Mas a qualidade das peças é muito boa, eu não me posso queixar do que encomendei, a excepção do problema do tamanho mas isso foi culpa minha porque não confirmei as medidas, é possível que volte a encomendar de lá.

Then I ordered this shirt when I saw it on the website I clicked on buy it immediately. But I was a little disappointed when it arrives. I ordered an XL to make sure that the shirt would look big on me, but the size is actually pretty small, I prefer this type of shirt bigger, I think it looks way better.
The material does not stretch at all and I have to confess that I had a hard time to get the shirt to fit me. I was really excited for this one and it was not what I expected at all, it's really cute and it's exactly like the picture but the size thing bothers me a little.
Overall, the shop has really nice things, you just have to be aware of the lack of communication and keep in mind to double check the size chart before making an order.
But the quality is really good, I can't complaints so I'll probably order again.

I'm always searching online and looking for new cheap online clothing stores and today I bring you a store that I recently discovered.

The store is Fashionmia, they sell modern, cute and affordable women's clothing. 
They sell the most trendy apparel, accessories, and outerwear that is available on the web for a cheaper price. They believe that every woman has the right to dress well, and shouldn’t have to spend a lot of money to fulfil that. And one thing that made me like this store is that every piece of clothing they sell on their website is also available in plus size, because some online stores have a really small section for plus sizes and the clothes are normally awful.

When I find a store that I didn't know about I normally start by looking online for reviews, I searched fashionmia reviews and the opinions are divided, some people said the products had really good quality and the shipping was fast and already ordered again from them and some said that they didn't receive the item, but fashionmia gave them the money back. 

So I decided to take a look for myself and I'll be making an order because I really love their products and the prices are really good.
I think that not everything you read about online stores are 100% trustworthy because it will depend on many factors if you have a good experience or not. There was a store that I also read that some people didn't receive their items and I made an order and mine came really quick and the quality of the products were good, so my experience was good.
I decided to ignore all fashionmia complaint and see for myself. I did my wishlist from Fashionmia and I wanted to share with you, looking at my wishlist and seeing all these beautiful pieces, I needed to make an order and see if this store was really good because if everything goes well with my order i will become a regular customer for sure.
Let me know which pieces are your favorites and which ones I should order? After I receive my order from them I will review it.

Como disse no meu post anterior, aqui. Eu fiz uma segunda encomenda do site Lovelywholesale, uma semana depois de fazer a primeira, e a razão para isto acontecer é que eles estão sempre a adicionar novas peças ao site e também porque as peças são lindissimas e eu não consigo controlar-me.
Na parte I do post, eu falei sobre o tempo de entrega, a qualidade dos produtos e da comunicação rápida do atendimento ao cliente, de modo que se quiserem ficar a saber esses detalhes, vejam aqui.
Então vamos começar com o que eu recebi desta vez da Lovelywholesale, foram 3 pares de brincos, um relógio, e 3 colares.
Sobre os brincos, eu encomendei estes brancos porque na minha primeira encomenda, encomendei uns transparentes lindissimos e então resolvi encomenda-los noutra cor porque gostei mesmo muito dos primeiros que recebi. Estes são um pouco menores do que os primeiros mas gostei na mesma e sei que os vou usar muito.
Oh... e os pretos. A única razão para ter encomendado este par de brincos é porque eles eram tão diferente de todos os brincos que eu já vi e também porque parecem asas, mas quando chegaram e os vi fiquei muito feliz por os ter encomendado porque são muito bonitos.
Eu também vi estes pequenos brincos azuis, e na imagem fiquei com a ideia de eram transparentes com reflexos azuis, mas aparentemente são todos azuis, mas não faz mal, também gostei.

As I said in my previous post, here. I've made a second order from Lovelywholesale, a week after I've made my first one, the reason for that to happen is because they're always adding new stuff to the website and also because the pieces are really cute and I couldn't help myself.
In the post part I, I've talked about the shipping time, the quality of the products and the customer service fast communication, so check for that information here.
So let's get down to what I got this time from Lovelywholesale, I got 3 pairs of earrings, 1 watch, and 3 necklaces.
About the earrings, I got these amazing white ones because in my first order and now I got the clear ones and they were so pretty that I decided to get them in the other color because I really like the design, these are a little smaller which I like, so I'll be wearing them a lot.
Oh... the black ones. The only reason I got these pair of earrings is because they were so different from every earring I've seen and also the looked like wings but when I got them and hold it in my hand I was really glad that I bought them, they're actually really cute.
I also saw these small blue earrings, from the picture I thought they were clear with blue reflections, but apparently they're all blue but it's ok. I also liked it.
Eles têm relógios muito giros no site, eu apaixonei-me por este branco e dourado e eu gostei ainda mais depois de o receber, é realmente bonito e o design é tão elegante, eu tenho o usado muito. Gosto de relógios com brilhantes.
Também encomendei mais alguns, passei da rapariga que não tinha quase nenhum colar que gostasse para a rapariga que não tem espaço onde os guardar todos.
Comprei este dourado ou rose gold, não consigo dizer que cor é, e a cor foi o principal motivo para eu o ter encomendado e não me arrependo, é muito bonito.
Encomendei também um preto e dourado com triângulos, e é o que disse antes, eles têm tantos estilos diferentes e giros que me apetece comprar um de cada. Este é mais bonito ao vivo do que na foto do site.
E o último que comprei foi este colar enorme, e fiquei um pouco decepcionada com este, pensei que fosse gostar, mas ele é muito grande. Eu gosto da cor e das pérolas, mas pensei que seria um pouco menor, eu tenciono usá-lo, mas apenas com uma roupa simples, caso contrário acho que fica demais.
Mais uma vez a Lovelywholesale não me decepcionou, eu vou continuar a encomendar do site deles, porque gosto mesmo muito dos produtos deles. Agora quero encomendar algumas peças de roupas, porque a qualidade dos acessórios já sei que é incrível e que são peças baratas, portanto estou curiosa em ver as roupas.

They have really nice watches on the website, I felt in love with this white and gold one and I liked it even more after I got it, it's really cute and the design is so elegant, I've been using it a lot. I like watches with bling.
I also ordered a few more necklaces, so I went for been that girl that had almost non to the girl that doesn't have a place to storage all of them. I bought this gold or rose gold necklace, I can't really tell which color is it and the color was the main reason for me to get it and I don't regret it because it's super cute.
I also got this black and gold with triangles necklace, it's what I've said before, they have so many cool designs that I wanted to buy one of each. This one it's even prettier than in the picture.
The last one, I got this huge necklace and I was  a little disappointed with this one, I thought I was going to like it but it's really big. I like the color, the pearls and all but I thought it would be a little smaller, I can still use it but only with a simple outfit, otherwise it would look way too much.
So again, Lovelywholesale didn't disappoint me, I'll definitely keep ordering from them because I really love their products. I'll order some clothing pieces next time because the jewelry quality I already know that is great and cheap so I'm really curious to check out their clothes.

Today's post is about a request I got from one of my readers. She sent me an email asking for my help and I really hope I can help her.
She's getting married on September 26th and she's having troubles finding a wedding dress that she likes on physical stores because of her budget and her size.
She only saw a dress that she said she liked and looked good on her, but it was 3 times over her budget, so she decided to buy her wedding dress online, but she's worried about which online stores are reliable and which ones are not.
Before I start, I want to congratulate Rita Cruz on her wedding and I really hope you find the dress of your dreams and I hope I can help you with it.
We have many online shops that sell wedding dresses, but I will talk about the only one I know it's reliable because like I said in one of my previous post, one of my friends ordered her wedding dress from there and it was everything she wanted and more.
The online store is Landybridal, which is the leading wedding dress and occasion dress manufacturer and they have their our own factory; they have been engaged in the wedding dress industry for more than 15 years.
My friend used them customized service because she created an ideal wedding dress in her head and, of course, she was not able to find one with all the requirement she wanted =). That's a great thing about Landybridal, they have the option to make your own dress, with everything that you've dreamed of.

Back to Rita Cruz, she told me that she likes two types of dresses, the first one is that vintage lace wedding dresses, and I went through the website and these two are definitely my favorites. The details are just amazing and it looks like princess dresses, I think lace wedding dresses are very classic and elegant and Landybridal lace fabrics are handpicked and very exquisite.
I left the link above because they have many other lace dresses.

She also loves the lace mermaid wedding dresses, I found out that this kind of dresses is fitted for curvy girls, I had no idea of it. The mermaid style details are able to flatter the lines of the body.
I did my top 3 lists but I have to be honest it was really difficult because these type of dresses are my favorites ones, and they have so many different styles that I'm starting to think that when my big day arrives I will have a really big decision because I pretty much love all of them.
So, I think that I help you guys with this post, I know that not every store has dresses for everyone's body, but that something I love about Landybridal, the dresses are measure made and they do it for every type of body, so take a look if you're in the same situation as Rita and find your dream wedding dress.

Quando eu andava no eBay a comprar relógios, podem ver o post aqui, também comprei este batom.
Eu queria um batom vermelho, mas sem ser aquele vermelho berrante, e quando vi este gostei imenso da cor e decidi comprar.
Quando a encomenda chegou a minha casa e eu abri, percebi que era uma imitação do M.A.C. Eu sei que é uma imitação porque este batom apenas me custou 2 dollars e porque na colecção da Lady Gaga não existe esta cor.
Eu não me importei que fosse uma réplica mas neste caso eu não fazia ideia que estava a encomendar uma réplica porque pela imagem, o tubo é parecido mas não diz nada que indicasse isso, e aqui é onde as pessoas podem ter problemas a fazer compras online, toda a gente sabe que comprar bens contrafeitos é crime, portanto se a encomenda tivesse parado na alfandega e tivesse aberto, eu ia ter bastantes problemas sem ter culpa. Não sei se sabem mas se bens contrafeitos pararem na alfandega, o que eles fazem é, entrar em contacto com o representante legal da marca contrafeita em Portugal e enviar-vos-iam uma multa para pagar, os valores variam de produto para produto, se não pagarem, o caso segue para o tribunal, junto com a multa vem um papel que é preciso assinar a confirmar que pagam a multa e que dão autorização para o produto ser destruido.
Felizmente para mim, correu tudo bem com o batom, e no final a cor era exactamente o que eu queria e é linda, portanto vou usá-lo na mesma. Eu vou fazer um review dele porque gosto mesmo muito da cor.
O vendedor do eBay de onde comprei o batom, foi este:

When I was shopping for watches on eBay, see the post here, I also bought a lipstick.
I was looking for a really pretty red lipstick and I saw this one that I liked and decided to order it.
When I got the package at home and I opened, I realized that it was a fake M.A.C. I know it's fake because the lipstick cost me 2 dollars and the Lady Gaga's collection doesn´t even have this color.
I don't mind using replicas but in this case I didn't know what I was ordering because on the product page it didn't said that it was fake and in the photo you don't see any logos on the lipstick and this is where people may get in trouble for shopping online, buying counterfeit products is a crime, so if the package had stopped in customs when it got to my country, I would be in trouble without even knowing, because I would have to pay a big ticket for buying counterfeit products and they would immediately destroy the  product, in the worst case they could take this to court, obviously not in this case because it was a lipstick, but things like handbags can be a huge problem.
Luckily everything went well and I'm OK with my new lipstick because in the end, the color was gorgeous and it was exactly what I wanted, so I'll be using it anyway.
I'll be doing a full review on this lipstick because I actually like it. 
The seller I got my lipstick from was:

The hot days are coming and with it all the parties, I made a post recently about a wedding that I attend to at the end of June and I already bought my dress, and yes I bought it online because we have so much choice and I found exactly what I was looking for. 
What brings me to the post I'm making today, I will have a baptism party on July 11th and I'll be the godmother, so I want to wear something cute and I'm already searching online, but today is not about my dress, is about my cousin's dress. She is having a hard time finding something for her to wear on physical stores because she's a plus size and everything we find it's not that cute, so I suggest that we looked online to see if we could find something for her.
Not all online stores have a plus size section, but thankfully we found Tbdress which is a store that I normally check because they sell all types of clothing and accessories at an affordable price.
So we started to look around the website to see if there was anything that she like, I'll confessed that I was a little scared because she was already so disappointed because of the physical stores that if she couldn't find anything online she would be heart broken.
Finally, we came across this page: http://www.tbdress.com/Cheap-Plus-Size-Clothing-103893.
And for some reason she liked one of the dress, it was really lovely, it was simple and cute and I thought it would look good on her but I was scared about the size, we open the description to see the dress measures and I took her measures too and the XXL was pretty much the best match to her. so we were excited but then I thought, the baptism party is in July, and the dress as long sleeves, but my cousin didn't mind because the dress was so cheap that that she would take it to a seamstress and she could make the dress sleeveless and it would look good anyways. So we decided to go ahead and order it. This was the dress she ordered, it was only $11.79.


She was so excited that she also ordered a jacket and a blouse that are absolutely gorgeous and they were available at a plus size too. I could see how excited she was.
The jacket was $21 and the blouse $19. You can check it here:


Tbdress was a really great suprise to me, they offer up to five plus size clothing, and from all the store we checked, they were also the cheap women's plus size clothing stores online.
I was really glad that I could help my cousin, She already got her package and she couldn't be happier, everything fit, the dress is already in the seamstress to be modified and I already saw her wearing the blouse and it looks really cute. Sometimes ordering online cause a lot of problems but it can also be a life saving and this time Tbdress saw our life saving.
