Buying Wholesale Clothing: What You Need To Know

If you are running a new business or a new shop, you might be wondering- where do I buy the best wholesale womens clothing? How can I get the best deals? And most importantly, where do I start looking and what do I look for? In this post, we will talk about a few tips when looking for good wholesale retailers to buy from in order to maximise your success. 

My first tip is to find a reliable and "tested" wholesale womens clothing seller. This means doing your research beforehand and making sure you ask other shop where they buy their clothes from. You can ask around your favourite shops and contact the shopkeepers to ask where they find their wholesalers. The best shops would have reliable wholesalers who supply clothes to their brands, which means that they already have a steady customer base. This means that you will avoid scams and be able to find the very best wholesaler for your shop. 

My second tip is to consider whether you want a domestic or foreign wholesaler. When you are considering the retailer, make sure you reserach and find out whether they are based locally or overseas. Of course, whether you decide to go for a local or foreign wholesale retailer depends on the type of clothing that you are selling and your personal preferences. Take care to research some of the legal requirements, import tax and customs for buying foreign goods and make sure you decide what you want in advance, to avoid any mishaps during the ordering process.

My third tip is to go to trade events. If you have the time and money to do so, it is always worth a visit to a trade show because you can see the products in person. The benefits of this is numerous- you can see whether the quality of their clothing is suitable for your needs, and whether their styles are what you are after. You can also speak to the brand's representatives and employees to see whether they are working in accordance to your requirements. You can also network and meet other wholesale companies which you might want to buy form in the future. 

In conclusion, the most important thing in setting up a successful clothing brand is to find the right wholesale clothing company to supply your items because it is really this that makes or breaks your shop. It’s a matter of you researching the wholesalers and finding out which ones suit your needs best. It is a lot of effort, but ultimately if you find the right one that you can partner with, you will have very happy customers who will continue to shop from your shop long after it is established. 

Best Bras for Different Occasions

There are lots of different underwear brands out there, but the very best underwear is supposed to be comfortable, stylish and perfectly fitting at all times. However, even with the vast array of bras out there, a truly comfortable bra is not easy to find. As a small-chested girl, I've struggled with finding the perfect bra for different occasions. I've tried going to professional fitters and online shops to look for comfortable bras to wear, without any success. Today, I want to discuss two of my favourite bras for different occasions which I found very comfortable, whether it be a formal event, a ball or a casual day out. 

For formal events, I always go for an adjustable strap bra because this means that you can change the bra strap according to the length of your dress or the cut of your top. Formal events always require women to wear different things, such as a long dress, shorter cocktail dress or a strappy dress which means that the necklines vary in shapes and sizes. With this bra you can technically tailor your bra to your outfit easily, which means that you get the maximum versatility and variability in your outfits! 

For everyday wear I prefer a super comfortable bra which does not hug my figure too tight, and isn't too uncomfortable for wearing to work, running errands of doing everyday activities. I prefer a non-wire flexible bra such as the one above which gives you great support without any of the pain that comes with wired bras. I actually really love the brand's non-wired bras as they are made from special 3D technology which has a cooling effect and boosts the shape of your bust. I've been transitioning away from wired bras for a while now since the COVID lockdown and now I cannot go back! 

In a girl's underwear drawer, there’s nothing more important than the humble bra. If you want bras for different occasions do check out some of the links above and let me know what you think! 

Best Sheepskin Pillows You Can Buy- Surell Accessories Review

Surell is one of my favourite home decor shops right now as I've been trying to decorate my studio apartment for the new season. Honestly, they are absolutely wonderful and sell a variety of goods and home decor items, as well as keychains and cute little trinkets. I want to show you guys what I got from their shop recently, as well as talk a bit about what I thought of their products.  

A bit about the brand- Surell's ur fashions are found at Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, Macy's, and other major retailers across North America and throughout the world. Since 1979, discriminating shoppers at America's leading retailers have come to recognize Surell as one of the most desirable names in fur fashion and accessories. They sell on Etsy too as well as other platforms. 

The first two things that I got were these Shearling Sheepskin Pillows in Beige. These shearling sheepskin pillow adds the right amount of texture to any room and look. They are made from the softest shearling sheepskin materials and feels ultra luxurious and soft. To be honest with you, my bedroom felt very empty when I first moved in. With these pillows, they complete my room's decor and is so versatile that it adds to any home out there. I absolutely love the quality of these sheepskin pillows as the fur is thick, durable and feels ultra soft, unlike some of the cheaper versions of the pillows that you can find on Amazon. I think Surell Accessories's items are of top quality and feels really well-made. I love how it comes in 5 other colors including champagne and white which means that you can mix and match as you wish. 

The second thing that I got was this Rex Rabbit Fur Pillow in Chinchilla. This pillow is absolutely stunning and feels like the softest thing I've ever touched. In terms of the quality of the pillow, this one is second-to-none. I love the filling of the pillow as it wasn't too soft or hard. The rex rabbit fur is also unlike anything I've ever experienced. Rex rabbit fur is the perfect material for cushion covers in the winter and summer as it isn't really too thick- it's more thin and lightweight. It is also known for it's interesting patterns and colors. I absolutely love the quality of the pillow and the lovely pattern. 

In terms of the design, I absolutely love the shape and size of the pillow. It's perfect for a sofa or bed, and is large enough to fit into a King-sized bed as a decoration. It's absolutely lovely and I received a lot of compliments for the pillow. I think the pillow made my bed more cosy and luxurious. It's wonderful how such a simple upgrade can do wonders for your flat's look. 

Overall, I'm so happy with my purchases from Surell.  Shipping was really fast via DHL so everything arrived quickly from the USA. The brand ships worldwide and they really have some of the best home decor items that I've ever seen.

Today I want to talk about Cozy Knit Atelier, a lovely home decor brand on Etsy that sells some of the most affordable and stylish pillows and knitted accessories that I've ever seen. I love featuring small, independent brands and this brand really impressed me with their range of decor. 

I got 2 cute little cushions from their awesome shop-  the Braid Knit Pillow- which were the items that caught my eye from the shop. I love textures and different fabrics and these pillows really stood out for their simple but stylish design. The white color of the cushion means that it looks extremely chic and goes well with any bedroom.

I love how amazing it looks on my bedroom!  The best thing about these pillows are the quality and style. The quality of these knitted pillows are fantastic, as the pillows feature a lovely cotton textured layer, which feels super soft and is extremely high-quality. The inner layer of the pillows are stuffed with filling which is soft, supportive and won't lose it's shape. These pillows would deal gift for all occasions including birthdays, housewarming, Christmas, or even just a gift to yourself if you move into a new house. I've never had a handmade pillow before, as I thought they would be too expensive. However, this shop is so affordable and only costs under 50 pounds for 2 pillows. 

In terms of the style, white textured pillows are one of this season's latest trends. This material is a timeless classic which was used to make pillows for many years. In fact, I love the additional texture it offers to my sofa, as I already have sheepskin pillows and other chunky knitted accessories. Honestly, Maia is super talented and knits these gorgeous designs by hand. She packages the items really well and everything arrived within 2 weeks of ordering. I'm really impressed by the customer service of the shop, it's fast shipping times and the item's design. 

As for the quality of the pillows, they are absolutely soft and warm, and looks amazing on the couch.

My Panda London Review + Giveaway

A while ago I did a review of Panda London's 100% pure bamboo bedding set which many of you loved. I'm so grateful that so many people replied and told me that they really liked the brand and checked out their website! Anyway, today's post is a little review and giveaway of an awesome bedding set from the brand. 

But first, a bit about the brand. Panda London is a shop that sells natural bamboo and French linen bedding, home accessories and pillows for all. They are known for being affordable as their items are made from the highest-quality materials which promises to give you a better night's sleep and home experience. Their range is fantastic and broad, suitable for homes of all types. Bamboo is an all natural material, so their products promises to keep you cool at night with their bedding. 

Today I want to talk about this awesome new Bamboo and French Linen bedding set that I've tried and do a giveaway to give one of you the chance to win a bedding set for your bed. Let's move on to the review! This bedding set is the brand's newest addition and boy, it is luxurious. Crisp and breezy on a summer’s morning, this set feels heavenly on the skin and is made from a cool linen/bamboo blend. An enduring fabric, organically grown, bamboo is super soft and breathable. 

Linen is harder and usually rougher, but this awesome blend feels very soft and doesn't irritate the skin at all. The brand's Bamboo and French linen bedding is 70% bamboo. This tantalising blend is plump and luxurious. Textured to touch, but soft like bamboo, this is truly an ultimate bedding set for those who live in cooler climates and want something a bit more different.

Actually, this set is very aesthetic to the eye and perfect for Instagram or interior design bloggers who want to add something to your bedroom. Featuring a matte finish with just the right hint of sheen, this bedding set is quite low-maintenance yet looks fabulous in photos. It doesn't require ironing as linen is naturally wrinkle-free and easy to clean. It gets softer with each wash and the bamboo blend makes the linen soft and silky. Linen is a fantastic fabric, and is also a hardy, sustainable plant that is organically grown and naturally biodegradable. The manufacturing process uses up to 20 times less water than cotton or synthetic fabrics and linen is twice as durable as cotton.

Both bamboo and linen are naturally antibacterial which means that micro-organisms and parasites such as dust mites and bed bugs cannot grow on the set. They also have hypoallergenic properties, so will gently protect against skin irritation. Combined, they’re a natural choice for eczema or allergy sufferers. They are also a very sustainable choice for anyone that wants to live more sustainably. I'm having such a lovely time sleeping on my new bedding set and I hope you guy like this review.

Which is better, a skin tight shirt or a crop top?

One of the biggest questions that a girl faces during the time preparing for a night out is: Which is better, a skin tight shirt or a crop top? There is no fixed answer to this age-old fashion question. However, today, I want to argue that a crop top is always better and more fashionable than a tight shirt which hugs all parts of the body. 

Now, you might be wondering why a crop top is more favourable than a tight shirt? First, crop tops are sexy as hell and can look amazing without looking too revealing. For example, a crop top long sleeve shirt would be suitable for a girl's night out, or an elegant party, and look sexy yet sophisticated. Crop tops are not always short and sleeveless, unlike the usual ones you find in the high street. Crop tops can be more elegant, conservative and contain longer sleeves which hides the arm and does not show too much skin. Long-sleeved crop tops are also great for the colder weather and winter months, as it doesn't leave you too cold and bare-skinned! 

My go-to party outfit is a crop top tank tops which looks way better than a tight shirt. The second reason why crop tops are amazing is that they simply come in so many different styles. For example, tank tops can come with chains, rhinestone necklines, halter necklines, v-neck fronts, backless designs and normal U-shaped necklines, as well as plenty of other styles which would be suitable for women with any shape and size. It does not matter whether you are plus-sized or normal sized- tank tops that are cropped and shorter looks better (and sexier) than any normal top. I saw Kim Kardashian wear crop tops for her daily outfits and they’re so hot, and I am trying to change my style into something more sexy as I feel like that’s my new personality. It’s just that I’m bored in my life and I need a change. Crop tops really does the job well!  

Third, crop tops are super versatile. For example, I love this corset and blouse look as it is actually pretty sophisticated and sexy. I have to admit, I have an addiction to blouses - they're elegant and cover up the chest, which I admit isn't the most flattering part of my body. I tend to accumulate fat in the arms, so unluckily for me, I always prefer to wear a bustier top and a blazer over it. Nevertheless, a corset top and blouse is fantastic! 

Overall, crop tops are a versatile style because they're the easiest way to look stylish without any thinking. Let's face it, we all want to look stylish, and sometimes pairing items in your closet is just…hard. I'm lazy to pair up outfits sometimes. With a crop top,  it's like you can be effortlessly chic in an instant because the top would be shorter which shows off your legs. Your whole outfit is already put together since the proportions look better with a shorter top.  The only thing bad about crop tops versus tight shirts are the fact that they might be a bit too short if you are a taller girl, and it's hard to find ones that fit perfectly on the bust area. But regardless, I think it's worth the trouble, especially if you have a formal event to go to and want to try a crop top and trousers for a change instead of dresses.

Wholesale7 Wishlist 2022

I've been checking out a cool wholesale shop and I want to share with you some of my favourite items from the brand. The shop is called Wholesale7- and they have the biggest range of wholesale clothes ever. Arguably more than other shops online. What I love about their website is that it's so easy to use! Honestly, their site's one of the easier ones to use, compared to other sites I've been on (and there are so many). 

Wholesale 7 also sells sexy bikini for women and I absolutely love their range. They sell cheap clothes online and most of their clothing is under $90. I can't stop looking at their dresses. They're super cute and lovely and best of all they're so cheap! Every one of them are around $100 and under, which means that it's so affordable for everyone. They also have different dresses for everyone!

This brand is probably one of the most affordable clothing stores I've seen so far. Although I haven't gotten anything off there yet, I might just try it after my holiday abroad. I've beens so relaxed- I just had 2 months of holiday and I'm SO ready to try new dresses! Take a look at some of my favourite dresses below:

I chose these dresses because they are cool, cute and sexy. I love dresses that look versatile and backless. I've been going on dates recently and trying to look sexier and hotter for nights outs, which means that I tend to choose dresses that look a bit revealing. Wholesale7 has lots of black dresses and cool night-out looks, which are so cute and kinda chic at the same time. They also have a fantastic range of red party dresses, floral dresses and more dresses, suitable for birthdays and formal occasions like prom, weddings or cocktail parties at the bar.

Where To Buy Affordable Luxury T-shirts- Rise & Fall Review

Every once in a while, I come across a brand that makes me go "wow". Usually, what makes a brand stand out for me are their designs and styles. Today, I want to talk about Rise & Fall, a shop that really stood out to me recently. They stock a range of tops, bottoms and dresses, and everything about their shop reflects a minimalist, chic yet casual vibe. I'd describe their style as simple and luxurious, and some of their items reflect a more minimalistic look. Take a look below at how I styled their organic cotton Grey and White t-shirt! 

All of Rise & Fall's items are stunning, but this wonderful grey t-shirt stands out because of many reasons. Firstly, it looks smooth and tailored, as it's made from a wonderful fitted cut which hangs just right. It's completely unique in it's design, as it has a thicker fabric texture and a flattered, relaxed fit that isn't too loose or too tight. It's really pretty and simple, but elevates the look of anything really well. I paired it with my sports leggings for a casual athletic look.

The t-shirt comes in white too, and you can see how wonderful the t-shirt looks with my dark leggings. The best thing about the brand's range of organic cotton t-shirts are that everything can be worn with other pieces, and most of their tops have matching sweatpants or long-sleeved tops so that you can create a full outfit with the items. This time, I decided to just try their tees as I felt like it would be nice to wear for summer months. 

As the brand rightly claims, this is no ordinary t-shirt. The brand spent hundreds of hours designing the perfect tee and it really shows through in the quality of the garments. The t-shirt is made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton, which comes in a premium weight, is perfectly draped and flattering on the body. It gets softer as you wear it and wash it. I am really pleased with the price of this tee as other brands sell them for over double the price. Overall, Rise & Fall really impressed me with their new cotton range and I'd highly recommend checking them out!

It's summer and it's time for some new shirts for the warmer weather! Today, I want to share with you a my latest haul from Winser London, one of the best UK-based clothing boutiques online. I got amazing luxury shirts from this elegant and gorgeous brand. I got this V-neck Silk Top from the brand in pink. It's absolutely breathtaking and I've worn it everyday for about a week now. Take a look below!

I've never quite seen anything like this silk top before. This top is unique as it's styled with soft pleating on the neckline, a subtle seam on the centre front and raglan sleeve detailing on the back. This top is a generous, comfortable fit so can be worn loose or tucked in. It comes a bit looser, so I chose a size down and went for a "small" instead of my usual "medium". It looks lovely on and has a lot of room for movement. It's simply perfect for those warmer months and for more formal work occasions. I absolutely adore this shirt and it looks perfect with blue jeans. 

I also got this gorgeous Pure Linen Striped T-shirt from the brand, which has a wide crew neckline is a perfect summer essential. Made from pure linen, this style gets softer with each wash. I'm really excited to wear this t-shirt for the long-term, and can't wait for it to be part of my wardrobe essentials. I think it has got the classic "Bretton" stripe look which is iconic and very French. It's an ultra classic pattern and one of the easiest things to wear. 

Overall, Winser London is definitely one of my all-time favourite brands. I'd highly recommend checking out Winser London's lovely collection of sophisticated, chic and stylish clothing. It is elegant, casual and luxurious at the same time.

Best Vintage Clothing Shops On Etsy- Vintage Closet Box Review

As a fashion blogger, I'm always on the hunt for high-quality but affordable clothing to add to my collection. Recently, I've been very much into vintage shopping because it's more affordable and better for the environment, because, you know, sustainability is the latest trend in the fashion world. Vintage Closet Box is a shop that made me super excited because I think you'll all love their cute, retro and trendy range of pre-loved items.

A bit about the brand- Vintage Closet Box is a vintage clothing shop based in the UK and sells exclusively on Etsy. The shop is run by Julie, who is super enthusiastic about sourcing the best vintage clothing from all over the UK to sell to customers. She's really approachable and friendly, and sells the most gorgeous range of vintage clothing that I've seen in a while. 

Now, vintage clothing shopping is tricky. First, you have to find the right size and shape. Some sellers don't put enough information about their clothes's sizing on their item descriptions. This makes it incredibly difficult to find the right fit and cut. This brand, however, makes sure that all their descriptions include exact garment measurements which is super helpful for someone like me who is in-between sizes. 

Secondly, vintage clothing can carry strange smells from their previous owners or contain perfumes, which can be difficult to wash off. Vintage Closet Box however, sells clothing that are free from that musky, old smell. The clothing they have are all clean and in great condition. 

Third, sometimes listings just don't have enough photos to persuade buyers to purchase something that has been worn. It takes a lot more to convince people to buy second-hand than first-hand. Vintage Closet Box makes sure their listings are comprehensive and contains lots of photos so you can see exactly what you're getting. 

I ordered this Viyella Wool Cashmere Camel Coat from the brand after seeing it listed on Etsy and falling in love with it at first sight. Take a look below at what it looked like! 

  I was hesitant at first to get a coat that was from the 1990s, but decided that I don't want to spend 300 pounds on a brand new coat when I could be helping the environment by buying a pre-loved item. Also, there's something "extra" about a pre-loved vintage coat which makes me love it more- it's as though I feel like I found a treasure amongst the sea, so buying vintage definitely gives me this added joy. Julie was a pleasure to work with and made sure my order was shipped first class so I got it the next day. 

I'm pleased with my camel coat's quality and versatility. This beautiful coat is made from 90% pure wool and cashmere, which is comfortable and breathable. In terms of quality, the coat is one of the best that I've ever owned as it's warm and thick, and nothing like those thin ones I see in the shops these days.  Those don't keep warmth very well, but this camel coat is extremely cozy and holds in heat pretty well. In terms of versatility, you can style it with anything, jeans, shorts, tights, skirts or even think of something unique. 

Overall, I'm so happy to finally be able to write about one of my favourite wardrobe pieces of this year. I've been eager to get myself a lovely coat for the cooler months, and this Vintage Closet Box piece really hits the perfect balance between cute and stylish. Plus, I'm a lover of vintage clothing, so this is lovely coat is definitely going to be one of my most-worn pieces ever. I got lots of compliments when I first wore this coat out!

Overall, I'm highly impressed with Vintage Closet Box and their impeccable vintage items. The brand recently listed over 100 items in their shop from brands like Burberry, Max Mara and more which are all fitting, beautiful and stylish. Because goodies sell out super quickly, make sure to check them out before they all go!
