My Fab New Glasses- Hook LDN Review

Cursed with shortsightedness, I have always been a girl who has to wear glasses. I've only just recently gotten contacts so I'm still most familiar and comfortable around my good old glasses. My usual glasses are small, plain and shrinks my eyes as the lenses are made for comfort rather than fashion. I wanted to get a pair of frames that suit my face and look stylish at the same time. 

I recently got a new pair of glasses from Hook LDN, an awesome eyewear brand that sells a variety of cool sunglasses and optical frames. Founded by Zak Biddu in 2014, the brand has a huge range of frames suitable for every face shape and style, and their frames are made with the utmost craftsmanship and quality. They sell to a variety of stockists in the UK, so you can find their glasses at a lot of local optical shops. 

Without further ado, here's the pair of Dylan glasses they kindly sent me! 

As you can see, the glasses are really special. They're made from a stainless steel grey frame, which is made in a classic round shape. This shape complements most face shapes, and is versatile, stylish and strong. The frames are quite light, though my thick prescription lenses made it heavier than it should be. In terms of the design, the frames are well made and very chic, and looks beautiful on most face shapes.

As for the quality, Hook LDN really impressed me with their frame. The frames are well-made, durable and extremely good quality. In fact, the little side arms on the frames are lightweight and strong, and looks like they can last for years to come. The glasses also features acetate on the part of the glasses where it hits the ears, and it just looks aesthetically pleasing as well as high-quality. I didn't expect to get such a good quality pair of frames for such an affordable price, and I'm really impressed with my glasses.

As for the convenience and comfort, these glasses absolutely feel light on my face and is easy to wear. The glasses don't slip off unlike others as they have a plastic ledge, and the frames are thin, well-fitting and isn't too tight or too loose. Sometimes, glasses hurts my head as they're just so tight, but these were perfect for my head. I think Hook LDN really got their designs calibrated to fit most people, so it's great to know that their glasses will always fit!

I'd definitely order more glasses from Hook LDN as I adore my new pair. I never thought an online glasses company can make such awesome goods, because usually, I get my glasses the old fashioned way- through a walk-in store, waiting for a few weeks, trying it on and then paying for it in cash. Now with the internet available, everything's so convenient, I never even have to leave the house! 

My Eyebrow's On Fleek- Lilibeth Brow Shaper Review

Hi girls, I want to do a little review on a beauty product that I've been using for the past few weeks. It's this amazing Lilibeth Brow Shaper that I got, and they really deliver the best results that I've seen from a brow shaper. 

So what is it? This painless, cute device is the Lilibeth, which utilises precision steel blades to effortlessly glide across the brow line without the irritation that often results from plucking, threading or waxing. This tool effortlessly removes your unwanted hair, such as eyebrow growth, chin hair and facial hair, as well as anything on your body or arms. 

The shaper is easy to use and is compact, so you can carry it around your pocket anytime of the day. I hate plucking as it hurts, but this tool changed the way that I do my eyebrows. I use it to complement my plucking and waxing, and my brows look absolutely stunning after I use it. Designed to not encourage new or course hair growth, this tool can be used just about anywhere you have unwanted hair, whether it be your bikini line, upper lip.

So far, I'm very impressed with this new tool and it has kept my unwanted hairs from growing back!

Who Needs Forever21 When you Have Shein? My Review

Monochrome alert! I recently got a beautiful new Vests and camisoles from Shein, one of the oldest and biggest online boutiques on the net. I'm sure you've heard of Shein from the millions of blog posts that other people have written about their shop. This can only mean one thing- they're reliable, affordable and of course, high-quality. 

Indeed, my tops arrived around 10 days after I placed my order. I'm sooooo in love with all of them. I ordered so many that I can't show you all of them, but I'll show you my favourite ones. The sexy camisole trend is super in right now, and I'm a big fan of the look. I styled it below with my white skirt and some pink flats from Zalora. They're all matchy-matchy and I'm totally happy with my purchase. 

Items that I got from SHEIN:

Yes, I bought lots of new things for summer from Shein, one of my favourite shops ever. They're not a new shop by far, and I'm sure many of you have seen them around for the last couple of years. However, one thing you may not know is that Shein has actually completely revamped their styles and items in the last year or two. They used to be quite low in quality and the styles aren't too stylish. However, they've completely had a makeover and now their stuff is super cheap but high-quality at the same time

My Flats Collection- Stylewe Review

Ever wanted to buy cool and cheap shoes? StyleWe has lovely items that I'm a huge fan of, as they stock beautiful and sophisticated dresses. In fact most of their items are designed by real designers, including some authentic designers such as UK and US brands.

They have the cutest shoes and they're so affordable. The quality is fantastic too, and I'm so excited to share with you what I got from them recently. As a girl who loves fashion, I'm really fond of browsing for different styles of clothing online. Shopping online is so much easier than shopping in person, although it takes a bit longer to choose. Some of my favourite classic designer styles from their site include these lovely shoes which I got. Take a look above!

Love these lovely Summer Bowknot Shoes (product ID: 1737494)- these flats are gorgeous, comfortable and made from genuine cowhide leather, which is amazingly soft and durable. I love the colour and pointed toe design, and it looks so lovely on my feet. They're so beautiful and I'd highly recommend these shoes, as Stylewe has a lot of different styles for you.

The next pair of shoes that I got were these lovely, special Satin Elegant Wedding (625677)  flats in Pink. I’d describe these shoes as girly, feminine and extremely unique owing to the beautiful embellished detail on top. The shoes are part of the brand’s new summer collection, which means these shoes are perfect for lighter outfits. 

In terms of the quality and design, these flats are so comfortable as they have a leather inner sole, which absorbs every step I take. They aren’t thick flats by any means, so they’re rather light and comfortable to walk in. The outer layer is made from satin which means that it is smooth, supple and quite refined. They’re perfect for work or for those days where you want to dress up a little. 

This beautiful pair features a lovely design which reminds me of a celebrity wedding! I’m so in love with it, and I really want to wear this out all the time. It’s one of the most unique pair of shoes that I’ve ever seen, and it does turn heads!

Affordable Glasses For Nerdy Me- Firmoo Review

Cursed with shortsightedness, I have always been a girl who has to wear glasses. I've only just recently gotten contacts (which I'm planning to wear permanently starting this academic year, when I start my freshman year at university!) so I'm still most familiar and comfortable around my good old glasses. 

Firmoo, a popular online glasses retailer, approached me and invited me to review a pair of free glasses- my pick- from their awesome website. I've always known about the company, probably because they always crop up on my favourite blogs. They say they're the most popular online glasses shop, and I can see why - the gallery and choices are HUGE!  

Without further ado, here's the pair of glasses they kindly sent me: 

Pros: 

I absolutely adore the shape of these glasses! Black semi-round frames look smart, stylish and chic at the same time. Maybe nerd-chic suits me or something. Also these glasses don't weigh much at all! They feel very light compared to the ones I usually wear.

I've been wearing these for months now and they still haven't broken into pieces. I'm surprised, considering I always run and move around a lot. It's also super stylish and chic, and I love the leopard print detail of the glasses. I think I suit thicker frames but these look amazing on me! I think it's just that I should have tried to use the extra perks that Firmoo gets, so I need to order something more accurately next time. I love this pair of glasses!

I'd definitely order more from Firmoo next time I need glasses. I never thought an online glasses company can make such awesome goods, because usually, I get my glasses the old fashioned way- through a walk-in store, waiting for a few weeks, trying it on and then paying for it in cash. Now with the internet available, everything's so convenient, I never even have to leave the house! 

Lazy Jeggings- The Tight Spot Review

If I had to name the item I wear most during my university days, it would have to be leggings. I'm a girl who likes to walk everyday to lectures, and I think that leggings look so casual, stylish yet are so comfortable that sometimes I don't even know I'm wearing them. Honestly, sometimes I even wear leggings to bed on lazy days. However, I've been looking for a pair of cool but casual leggings lately, and I found the most amazing pair of Jonathan Aston Twill Leggings for sale on a specialist tights store called The Tight Spot. 

These leggings are made from Italy, and they are of the highest quality because they're not made from China. They also happen to be the most comfortable black leggings I have ever worn, and they're probably the coolest pair of leggings I own because they contain belt loop and jean-styled look, and the other half of it is made from a really comfortable stretch jersey material. I love how these leggings fit on my legs- they give my legs a lot more shape and since it's black, it elongates your legs automatically. They also go well with heels or sneakers, as you can see below! 

Pros of these leggings:

• Beautiful packaging- the leggings came in a lovely bag and arrived perfectly on time, only a few days after I ordered the leggings. 
• Excellent quality- I have to say these are probably the best quality leggings I've ever tried. The material is stretchy and breathable, and clings perfectly on my legs. It also doesn't feel too tight or too loose, and they are a great fit for my legs.
• Looks amazing- the half-leather design gives this leggings an elegant and edgy feel. I can even wear this outside at night for a girls night out, or for a clubbing event. They also mean that people see different designs from the front and back. I absolutely love the design with the belt loops and cool jean shape. 
• Gives great shape to your butt- this is definitely a good thing! 

I highly recommend the Jonathan Aston Tights and this is not a biased review at all. I'm completely honest and these are my new favourite items in my wardrobe. They go well with a simple white t-shirt, or can be dressed up along with a fancy leather jacket or a plain black shirt. I'm going to post more outfit posts in the future, but I really like the cool, jean-styled look I can get from these leggings. The leggings from the shop are definitely worth a look.

The shop also sells other types of stockings, as well as leggings of all sorts. They even have multi-coloured leggings, so it's not all just black and white. They have great discount leggings in the Hoisery Outlet. 

What do you think of my leggings? 

World of Leggings Review

Hi lovely ladies! I'm a huge fan of leggings and I found the PERFECT brand called World of Leggings. They're selling under the name "Fasheon" too but they're incredibly good for leggings. I'm actually excited to show you all of my leggings, take a look below! 

As you can see, my favourite ones are the Black high Waisted Front Side Stripe Leggings- these are actually amazing as they look so chic and slim, and gives me a bit of athleisure vibes. They're made from viscose, which is natural and soft, and they're perfectly fitting for me. I ordered a Size 10 and it fits me well! In fact they're the best leggings that I've ever worn.

The second ones that I got are these lovely Black High Waisted PU Side Panel leggings- again these fit me so well and they're so comfy that I can wear them all day. They're so cool and edgy and gives me Kardashian vibes. They're so chic and I get lots of compliments!

Hope you like my review, and do check out World of Leggings!

In Love With Ballet Flats- My Butterfly Twists Review

I’m a huge fan of flats, as I can’t really wear heels for long. Sometimes, I’m forced to carry flats around in my bag after wearing heels because my feet hurt too much. I’m a huge fan of Butterfly Twists, a lovely brand selling foldable flats and shoes that, in my opinion, every woman should own. I’d like to talk a bit about their products as well as review a few pairs of shoes from their new collection that I recently got. 

A bit about the brand- Butterfly Twists is a well-established brand selling foldable flats, mules, sandals and regular flats for women. Now, what makes them special is their technology and design. The shoes are all made with a memory foam sole and durable, high-quality materials that are often weather proof. It’s quite amazing how the brand combines style and functionality, as many of their signature shoes are foldable so that people can fit them in their handbags with ease. 

I’ve been a longstanding fan of the brand, so I recently purchased a few pairs of Butterfly Twists flats from their latest collection. I’m going to show you what arrived in the mail after a speedy delivery (they take around 3-5 days in the UK). 

The first pair of shoes that I got were these lovely, special Brea flats in Black. This comes from the brand’s latest collection which features cute floral designs, as well as various shoe styles which look quite elegant and sophisticated. I’d describe these shoes as girly, feminine and extremely unique owing to the beautiful butterfly print on top. The shoes are part of the brand’s new summer collection, which means these shoes are perfect for lighter outfits. 

In terms of the quality and design, these Brea flats are so comfortable as they have a memory foam inner sole, which absorbs every step I take. They aren’t thick flats by any means, so they’re rather light and comfortable to walk in. The outer layer is made from satin which means that it is smooth, supple and quite refined. They’re perfect for work or for those days where you want to dress up a little. 

The second pair that I want to talk about is even more exciting- these beautiful pointed Natsumi flats are part of the brand’s new collaboration with Dominic Jones, a jewellery designer in the UK. This beautiful pair features an Asian-inspired print in white and blue, and reminds me of a Japanese koi pond! I’m so in love with it, and I really want to wear this out all the time. It’s one of the most unique pair of shoes that I’ve ever seen, and it does turn heads! 

As for the quality, I’ve never seen a pair of pointed flats that are this comfortable. Butterfly Twists’ sizing is quite generous I’d say, so this size fits my feet well and enables me to have a little wiggle room. I love the stitching and the finish of these flats, and they’re absolutely stunning and well-made. Literally, I’ve gotten many compliments about this pair! The rest of the Dominic Jones collection is beautiful too, and you should definitely check it out. 

The last pair that I got is the Tegan Flats from their last collection. It’s a waterproof pair of foldable flats, which is convenient and durable. It’s made from a tough durable rubber exterior, which is weather-proof and sturdy, so I’m not afraid to wear this out in the summer rain. I’m always happy to have a pair of waterproof flats as it’s so rainy where I live. I’m really in love with this pair of flats since it looks beautiful and quite delicate. Again, I’d definitely bring these shoes during a night out with the girls, as they’d make great alternatives to heels. Plus they’re foldable too! 

Overall, I’m super in love with Butterfly Twists’s latest collection and their beautiful Dominic Jones collaboration. Once again, they’ve shown me how shoes can be artistic, stylish and beautiful at the same time, which is no easy feat. I’m a loyal fan of the brand and I am sure you will love them too! 

My Little Femmeluxefinery Review

I love these Femme Luxe Finery pants as they’re the trendiest things ever. These trousers are high waisted and comes in a gingham pattern which is what everyone’s wearing these days. It matches my red jumper really well, and I styled it with boots and a sweater. 

It’s so TOWIE and makes me look so stylish in a sexy way, which I love! I’m trying to wear more black and white, and these pants goes so well with everything. 

I’m absolutely in love with these trousers and I highly recommend them! 

Femmeluxefinery Review 2

I recently got these new Femme Luxe Finery trousers in a grey checkered pattern. They looked much darker than on the site but I’m super happy with them as they’re super stylish. I was a bit sad that they’re a bit tight but overall they look so sexy! Aren’t they amazing? 

I saw Kim Kardashian wear these and they’re so hot, and I’mtrying 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. These pants really does the job well! 

It’s like leggings but they’re made from a viscose and cotton blend, which is stretchy and durable. I think they’ll be amazing for spring and summer, and you can wear crop tops with them. 

I’m so happy with them! Hope they make you happy too! 

Stylish Upbeat Perfection- Kite Eyewear Review + Tryout

I’ve been eyeing a unique and cool eyewear store in Shoreditch, London lately. They’re called Kite Eyewear and they have these stylish, edgy frames on display in their lovely Shoreditch store. Now, I’m really fortunate to be able to show you this new pair of glasses that I got from Kite Eyewear and I’m going to talk to you about my experience ordering a pair of glasses from their store from beginning to end. 

A bit about Kite Eyewear- founded in London, this stylish, wonderful, distinctive eyewear brand offers a unique bespoke service for those of you who want new glasses. It’s more of a bespoke “eye bar” than a normal optical shop. The aim of Kite Eyewear is to offer a more personalized and relaxed environment to choose glasses and get your eyes tested. Their store in Shoreditch exudes sophistication and style, and is set up unlike any other eyewear store that I’ve seen. It’s more modern, simple and of course, fun to visit. Plus, they offer you drinks when you talk to their staff about buying a pair of glasses! 

So how did I actually order my glasses? I first booked an appointment online using their easy-to-use website so that an optician can examine my eyes. It was super easy to do and I went on a Saturday to test my eyes. The shop itself is extremely modern and friendly, and I chatted to a lovely optician before doing the examinations. Kite Eyewear is extremely cool and they use the latest technology to test your eyes, including some machines that I’ve never seen before. The result was that I got my prescriptions within around 45 mins, which was quick, convenient and super accurate too. 

Afterwards, I had a chat with a few lovely people working behind the counter at Kite, and they recommended some frames that would suit my face shape for me to try. The staff was super helpful and knowledgeable about the different types of frames available, and explained everything to me clearly. I also walked around the shop to check out all the different types of frames. Kite Eyewear stocks a lot of frames, suiting people of all shapes and sizes. They have some of the coolest and most unusual styles that I’ve seen (including a cool cat-eye glasses, as well as their awesome hexagon glasses) as well as more normal ones such as wayfarers and round frames. There’s a lot to choose from.

What caught my eye was Kite Eyewear’s own original line called the Legends. This line of glasses was just released in 2018, and they feature unique designs made from leather, steel and plastic, and a huge range of different frames that are quite hip, trendy and totally unique. I’ve never seen anything quite like these frames, as they’re wonderfully light, durable and feels amazing on. I’ve taken a lot of pictures of the Legends, and I ultimately chose a pair of Legends Havana for myself. 

My favourite frames- the Legends Havana 

After about 1.5 weeks, my pair of glasses was ready for collection, and of course you can choose to have them send it to your address too. I’m super happy with them and they fit me perfectly.  Usually, there’s always an issue when I get larger glasses as the prescriptions are sometimes a bit off or the lenses aren’t quite right. However, none of these problems arose with my Kite frames. The prescriptions themselves were perfect and I’m able to see clearly without any of the dizziness that usually comes with new glasses. The Legend frames are so unique and gorgeous, and I got lots of compliments for these frames. 

In terms of the quality, these frames are made in Italy and designed in England so you literally have the best of both worlds. The frames are extremely light (I’d say around 10g) and the lenses that I got were extremely thin as I have really bad eyesight and need thick glasses. The lightness of the frames means that I can wear them all day without getting tired, and they’re very nice to carry around. The frame itself is extremely well-made, and I love the blend of plastic, metal and leather as they give my glasses an artistic flair. The quality of my Kite Eyewear glasses are amazing, and they look and feel like a luxurious accessory that I’ll treasure forever. 

What’s cool is that the glasses came with a leather case which is totally stylish, as well as a cloth and some cleaning spray for you to wipe the glasses. I walked out of the store feeling extremely happy with the glasses that I got. It’s quite a rare thing to feel this way from getting a pair of glasses, as most opticians don’t give you this kind of treatment. From beginning to end, Kite Eyewear delivered a bespoke and luxurious service that no where else can match. It’s literally a delightful experience in itself! 

Overall, the whole process of ordering frames from Kite Eyewear was convenient, pleasant and extremely fast. My glasses are extremely well-made and high quality, and definitely worth the price. I’m really impressed with the bespoke service that Kite Eyewear offers, as well as their reasonable prices and gorgeous, luxurious range of frames available. I’d definitely order from them again. There’s seriously nothing that compares to them, and they’re definitely the best eyewear shop that I’ve ever visited.
