I got this gorgeous Vachetta leather valet tray from the shop as a gift to my boyfriend. It's our anniversary soon and I wanted to surprise him with something cute, handmade and customized. This personalised tray came in a beautiful box with lovely packaging, and I was so surprised when I opened it! Take a look below!

I'm very happy with the quality of this valet tray- it is made from a beautiful brown leather which is gorgeous, and feels really good quality and sturdy.

You can print any image on the tray, and the shop will make sure it is engraved on the leather perfectly. The engraving I sent in was a drawing that I did, and it looks so beautiful and cute on the leather. This gift can last a lifetime and is something that I think any man or woman should own. It would make the perfect gift idea for anyone, and I highly recommend you check out OCLeatherWorks!

The Best Neon Lights For Your Bedroom- Naaaaaaa Review

I recently moved into a new house and had to redecorate my entire room. Honestly, the renovations have been hard work, but I'm so glad it's finally done. I want to talk about this cool neon light that I got from Naaaaaa, a lovely custom neon light shop based in Hong Kong. This shop's neon light forms the centrepiece of my bedroom, and I can't wait to talk about how to spice up your room with a bold, daring neon light. 

A bit about the brand- Naaaaaaa specialises in bespoke neon lights for any occasions, be it weddings, home decor or just a gift to a loved one. They custom made all of their neon lights in their premises in Hong Kong, and can pretty much make any shape or word that you want. Also, they sell a lot of ready-made pieces that contain unique, funny slogans commonly found in Hong Kong slang, such as "Don't On9" (which means don't be silly) and "Sor9y" (which means sorry in a funny way). They also have a variety of picture frames with embedded neon lights, as well as smaller pieces for your desk. It's really a cool mix of items! 

I got this gorgeous "Don't On9" neon light from their shop and it's absolutely stunning. I love the colour of the neon, as it's blue and really unique and bright. This blue light was placed on my bedside wall and looked really good next to my brick wall and vines. I adore the design too, as the words "Don't On9" is a popular Hong Kong slang which makes me laugh everytime I look at it. Take a look below! 

I think a neon light is one of the best room decorations that you can have. Neon lights last a long time, and are more sustainable than normal light bulbs. They have a longer life span and also use less energy, which means that it's a great deal if you need a stylish and chic light for your room. I love how bright it is too, and it looks perfect and bold. 

Overall, I really love the quality of the neon light and the ease of use. It was super easy to put onto the wall as there are 2 small holes on either side of the sign. You don't even need to drill holes in the wall, as you can just use sticky hook to put them up. I loved the sign as it's not too large and just the right size. It looks beautiful on my wall, and would last for years to come.

Wholesale Jewellery from China- Tradegets.com

Diamonds, opals and gold- these are perhaps the most common types of precious stones out there. But did you know that there is a a lot of various precious stones that makes even more elegant jewellery? I want to talk about my favourite things from Tradegets.com selling wholesale jewelry from China, a lovely site that sells beautiful wholesale fashion jewelry, rings, bracelets and necklaces made up of stones of all kinds.

A bit about the shop- since the shop was founded, TradeGets specialises in selling high quality jewelry at extremely low prices. You could get the fashion jewelry directly from the source factory. The shop has many different styles of jewelry such as the fun and funky fashion jewelry, or the cool and collected jewelry, as well as their popular classic and timeless jewelry collection.

The shop also makes lovely jewelry pieces since the styles are so unique. Most jewelry produced is set in silver, but sometimes gold-plated ones and rose gold silver sterling are also great choices. One thing that impresses me about the shop is its pricing- nothing is too expensive and the shop sells wonderfully affordable pieces for women of all ages. Whether you're a young girl in college or a mature mom of two, there's something in the shop for you! 

Some of my favourite pieces from their collection include their earrings and necklaces. The blue colour is simply dazzling - it's sort of light blue with a cloudy interior, giving off a mysterious vibe. I also love the simple necklaces that come in blue and purple colors with beautiful bold gemstones that shine. I love blue coloured items and clothing, so I am dying to try out their necklaces as it would go well with pretty much any outfit. It's on the low-range in terms of price, but this is because the shop is a high-grade seller and they use the best quality materials but everything is wholesale and you can buy a lot of pieces to sell on your shop. It's not just any cheap jewelry indeed. 

Their jewellery usually is affordable and super well-priced and a lot of things are under US $20. There is no need to go out and buy jewelry in a physical shop at an extra cost. Overall, I'm very pleased with the shop. I'm definitely wearing some of their pieces to my next formal dinner party, and I'm sure I'll get lots of compliments!

Unique Leather Home Decor Ideas - SlaskaLAB Review

With all the staying at home that everyone's been doing, I want to talk about some awesome room decoration ideas that I tried recently. I've been doing some home revamping as I moved into a new room, and I found this amazing shop called SlaskaLAB on Etsy. They have amazing home decor items made from leather, one of my favourite materials on the planet. I fell in love with their leather home accessories and I want to show you what I did with their items.

A bit about the brand- SlaskaLAB is a gorgeous shop based in Poland which ships gorgeous leather items worldwide. They sell a variety of unique home accessories and desk items such as mousepads, iPad mats and leather draw pulls. I was very impressed with their unique range of items, as most of their items are bespoke and made with the highest quality and care. Their designs are also super unique, which means that anything you get from them will be one-of-a-kind.

These leather plant hangers with leather straps are super gorgeous and really matches my new room. I hung them on my copper lamp and it fits so perfectly, creating a very "artsy" and hipster vibe. These pots are made from a crisp, clean metal outer and looks a bit industrial, which matches the home decor style that I'm going for. I really love the fact that these straps are long, which means that you can hang them up in a variety of places such as your wall, the window pane and even a wall rack. 

The lovely leather trap complements the metal pot very well, as the materials create and interesting mix of textures. Although I don't have plants to put inside these pots, I added some floral wreaths which hung loosely down. I really love the pot so much, as it's extremely well-made, gorgeous and stylish. It will add style to almost any room. 

Finally, take a look below at this gorgeous leather mouse pad that I got from their shop!

This mouse pad, which doubles as an iPad mat, is beautiful and smooth. It feels soft, warm and gorgeous and I really love the natural colour. It's perfect for any type of mouse and I'm really happy that it allows my mouse to glide smoothly across my screen. The best thing about this pad is it's aesthetics- it fits on my desk really well and elevates my boring desk.

Overall, I'm super happy with SlaskaLAB and their beautiful products. Not only do they make my room beautiful but they add a stylish edge to my desk, lamp and walls. I'd highly recommend checking out their shop! 

Best Blankets To Decorate Your New House- Mukerrem ODABASI Review

Have you been staying at home a lot? I know I certainly have. However, I spent most of my time at home decorating my new room. I want to talk about one of the most stylish and Instagrammable accessories you can get your new home- a chunky knitted blanket!

A bit about the brand I'm featuring- Mukerrem ODABASI is a lovely Etsy shop that is based in Istanbul, Turkey. The shop (which delivers worldwide) features a lovely collection of chunky knitted items such as sleeveless tops, blankets and coasters. They have a bit of everything and the items that they have are all extremely stylish and chic.

I want to talk about this lovely chunky knitted blanket (in grey) that I recently got from their shop to decorate my new room. I moved houses in Hong Kong and my room looked really empty, so I wanted to get this affordable and gorgeous knitted blanket from the shop. This chunky blanket caught my eye as it was stylish and came in a variety of colors- grey and beige. It seems to be very stylish and aesthetic, and I thought it would match my bedroom very well.

Some of you may know, I run a popular Instagram blog and I tend to take photos of myself in my room. How do I make the new room more aesthetic? The answer lies in this perfect knitted blanket, as it adds such a wonderful texture on my bed. Take a look at some of the photos of the beautiful chunky knitted blanket!

The shipping to Hong Kong was fast and it took about 2-3 weeks for the item to be delivered. It came in a vacuum-sealed bag so the parcel was lightweight and small. I really loved the blanket's quality and design, as it's thick and sturdy and very warm indeed. It has kept my room looking beautiful as well as made my sleep much better. I really love the shipping speed of this shop.

As for the quality, it is a lovely and well-made blanket as the yarns feel thick and smooth at the same time. Te blanket is carefully knitted and it is just the right size for my bed which is a double bed. I love the fact that it is 110 by 150 cm wide, which means that it is perfect for spreading on your bed like a comfy throw, or sleeping under during a cold winter's night. It can also be draped around a chair or furniture for an added "cozy" look.

Overall, this blanket by Mukerrem ODABASI is one of the most stylish and affordable chunky knitted accessories that I've ever seen. I'd highly recommend anyone to get their hands on one if you want to decorate your bedroom!

Kis.net Wishlist

Hi everyone! Today I am going to talk about one of my new favourite shops and show you some items that I want for my summer holidays.

Kis.net has the most amazing dresses and clothing that I've seen in a long time. They're considered a more unique boutique shop, which means that although prices are a bit higher than your normal Chinese brand, the quality and styles of their clothing stands out as better tailored and more refined. They're what I call an elegant type of store. They have lots of dresses, skirts, bottoms and tops, which exude a more elegant style.

Kis.net recently had loads of new bohemian girl dresses on their site and I am loving all of their new styles. I think it's because it's summer and it's getting hotter everyday! I've always wanted to follow the latest dress trends on Instagram- you know where the girls wear lovely floral dresses and sexy summer dresses?

I can't stop looking at their floral print dress too as they're super girly, cute and gorgeous. I love their amazing styles as they are lovely and best of all they're so affordable and cheap! Every one of them are around $30-70 and under, which means that it's so affordable for everyone. They also have different dresses for everyone!

This lovely 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! Hope you like my wishlist! 

Hairgets.com feature- best human hair extensions

Hairgets.com sells amazing human hair extensions and is an leading retail online hair shop of your first choice for top grade-quality products at cheap prices. They sell all sorts of hair extensions and hair accessories, in particular they have a wide range of human hair wigs and they look super natural. And it seems that girls who need longer hair faster will be pleased to see their website.

My favourite item from Hairgets.com is the human hair weaves. These types of human hair extensions are extremely beautiful, full-volumed, natural and easy to use. The reason that they look so good on your head is because they're all natural and made from real hair which mimics the feeling of having something grow out of your head. These extension therefore looks amazing when you're out and about, at a night club or simply running errands in town. I think that no one can tell you're wearing them if you buy real human hair extensions. Real human hair weaves are so natural and look stunning on everyone. You should check out their shop to check out their awesome range of human hair wigs.

Beautiful long hair look super sexy and nice. I think the hair extensions are even more versatile as they can be completely dyed if you want to change the colour. The pieces are so good-looking that you can look like a celebrity without much effort. You can also wash them and get treatment for them without any problem, and they're going to look better with some care. Isn't it awesome?

Finally, I also love these gorgeous virgin Brazilian hair bundles as they're completely unprocessed, natural and beautiful. Just looking at the photos on their website makes me want to buy some hair bundles to use when I'm taking Instagram photos or fashion shoots for my blog. I think girls who wear hair bundles look better as they have a bigger and fuller set of hair, which means that the photos you take will automatically look much nicer. I know some famous bloggers who use hair bundles in every single photo, and it enhances their natural beauty a lot.

In conclusion, I love how hair extensions and bundles enhance your natural beauty by emphasising your crown. If you're looking for hair bundles and hair extensions, you know the place to go to. A girl's hair is her best friend and what makes her stand out from the crowd. I really hope you like my little introduction for this lovely hair extensions shop.

How I corrected My Bad Back- Upright Go Review

I have really bad posture and I confess to sitting over 5-6 hours a day. It's really killing my back! Today I want to review a new cool device called Upright Go, which is a posture trainer that claims to correct your slouch and fix your posture through a device that's connected to an app.

I bought my device and it arrived via DHL quickly to Hong Kong. I opened the box and voila- there was a little white device inside a USB-chargeable case. It also came with a few adhesive stickers which can be used behind the device to stick on your back. I also got this cute little necklace which helps the device stick to your back without any adhesives.

This interesting device is not hard to configure although it can look confusing at the beginning. All you do is download an app and it allows you to connect the device seamlessly. This was done quickly and I didn't have to worry about where to press etc, as it was all done for me. I really love the app's easy-to-use interface and design, as it was bright and colourful.

The app allows you to calibrate your posture so that the device would know when you're tilting forward. This is pretty smart and novel, as this device will vibrate gently when you're leaning too far forwards. The app requires you to calibrate your starting position everytime you use it though, which can be time-consuming but overall it's pretty straightforward and quick.

But does it work? Let me tell you my experience with it after playing with it for a few weeks.

First, the device really reminds me to sit straight without hurting me in any way. I was scared it would vibrate too much and "shock" me but it totally didn't. It was a gentle buzz which reminded me to sit up. This was extremely useful for students like me who slouch and sit in front of the computer everyday, so I'm pretty sure this device is a miracle for people like me.

Second, although configuring the app everyday can be hard it is worth it as you can wear this when walking, sitting or pretty much in any position. I would say the app's pretty good in reminding you when you're slouching, or guiding you through "training" and "tracking" modes. The training mode means the device vibrates, but the tracking mode simply tracks your posture without giving you any notice so you can review your statistics whenever you want. It's super useful to have this and I'm grateful that the app made me realise how badly I was slouching.

Third, the device feels easier to wear when you don't use adhesives. I used this Upright Go necklace which is affordable and convenient, and I prefer this necklace over the stick-on pads that the original device was designed for. I'd actually recommend getting this necklace if you're wearing this device for the long-run.

Overall, my feelings towards this device is positive and I think my posture improved after a 2 week use. I feel better and I automatically sit straighter knowing that something's tracking my posture. For people like me who sit a lot this device is definitely a must-try. There isn't anything out there right now that evaluates your posture any better than the Upright Go, and I'd highly recommend you check it out.

Unique pieces for the new season- Prototype 23 review

The weather is pretty warm and pleasant these days, and I'm looking forward to wearing summer dresses and sleeveless tops this season. I want to introduce you to an exciting brand called Prototype 23, a lovely contemporary brand that sells lots of wonderful and elegant clothing for women. They're pretty perfect for this season, and the styles are oh-so-gorgeous! 

A bit about the brand- Prototype 23 is a creative and modern-styled label that specialises in providing trendy, chic clothing for women. Prototype 23's style can be described as modern, simple and minimalist. They have a lovely collection of clothing which contains a lot of elegant pieces, and every single item is extremely versatile and exquisite. The brand takes pride in their high-quality pieces and care in manufacturing, so each item is made to the best standards using fine materials. 

The top that I got is this gorgeous White summer backless blouse- this top is made from a fine polyester and it's extremely soft and beautiful. In fact, the crisp white material feels really elegant, and looks like something out of a high-street brand. The quality of this top is excellent, and I love the soft, smooth feel of the fabric. 

As you can see, the beautiful sleeveless top has a backless design, with a little round button at the back. This simple white op looks glamorous and unusual, and also matches really well with grey leggings and trainers. I think that this top is a bit tricky to wear as you do need a strapless and backless bra, but it looks wonderful with pretty much anything. I think that this top would make a great date night top, or a casual number that can be worn to the pub and the club! It could even be worn for a summer wedding or a formal dinner, as it's stylish enough to be worn for different events.

What I love most about this top is the colour and design. The white colour is bright, and looks great with a jacket and a pair of heels. I chose to style it with a pair of nude heels, and it looks awesome because of the neutral hue of the whole outfit. The top is not too large though so I'd recommend getting a larger size!

The quality of this summer top is amazing, and I just love the crisp feel of the blouse. It's really light and smooth, unlike other white tops that I have which are made from thin, transparent fabric. Prototype 23 makes sure that all of their items are excellent quality and they're one of the best shops that I've seen in a long time.

Overall, I can't recommend Prototype 23 enough, as their styles are beautiful and their clothing is extremely well made. If you're tired of finding the same old designs online, try out Prototype 23 for their unique take on womenswear.

Cozy Loungewear for Work From Home Days- BerKnitwear review

With work from home outfits being the latest trend of 2020, I want to talk about what I've been wearing everyday at home. I recently bought this lovely knitted set from BerKnitwear, a lovely tailor-made shop that sells custom knitwear sets for everyone. I absolutely adore my new set and want to share my experience shopping from their lovely Etsy stall.

A bit about the brand- BerKnitwear is based in Russia and they sell custom-made, tailored knitwear pieces for everyone. Their designs are unique and beautifully chic, and can be made to order and altered according to colors, designs, shape and size. BerKnitwear makes their clothing using natural and breathable materials, and everything that they sell is utterly luxurious and high-quality. 

I got this lovely blue knitted tracksuit set which looked extremely cozy when I was stuck at home "working" on my assignments. Everything's online these few months, and it's of no surprise that I adore this set! Take a look below! 

As part of BerKnitwear's iconic range, this two piece set is made from a gorgeous cotton, silk and cashmere fabric. Featuring a breathable and lightweight cotton base and a light silk blend, this set is excellent for travelling or moving around as it does not weigh down on your body when you wear it. Cotton fabric is also perfect for lounging about and moving around, so for exercise fans like myself, it's pretty versatile and perfect for getting active!

In terms of the design and fit of the short sleeve set, the scoop-neck design is really flattering and makes my broad shoulders look narrower. I chose this design because a scoop-neck top is really versatile and can match with skirts, trousers and pretty much any overcoat that you have in your wardrobe.

All of BerKnitwear's clothing are flattering and they come in different cuts- the long-sleeved tops can carry any neckline that you want whether it is a V-neck, scoop neck or high-neck. I love the fact that every piece by them is different.

I also love the fit of the items, in particular the lovely trousers that came with the set. I've never worn flowy, palazzo-styled loungewear trousers before and expected it to be tight, uncomfortable and hot. However, these trousers are the absolute opposite- they are warm, lightweight and totally opaque. I'm surprised at how stretchy they are too, as cashmere seems to naturally contain stretch which is useful for exercising and walking about. I adore the fit of these trousers as they're quite long and looks extremely cozy.

In terms of the quality, this knitted set is fantastic. It is made using the most careful process and you can really see how the pieces feel extremely sturdy and durable. No materials are skimped and the knitting is done excellently. I love how the set is high-quality and beautiful, and feels really comfortable to wear.

Overall, these BerKnitwear garments are extremely comfortable and some of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe. I think that BerKnitwear is a great choice for people who love getting cozy, supporting the environment and just want some impeccable, stylish and exquisite clothing that will keep you warm at all times of the year!

My Massive Sleepwear Haul- Patra review

Hey everyone! With everyone working from home at the moment, I want to talk about this amazing brand called Patra which sells some of the best natural clothing that you'll see. I've long been a fan of the brand since buying something from them a year ago. Today, I want to show you my latest haul so that you can take a look at some of their amazing new products. 

A bit about the brand- Patra is a brand that specializes in cashmere, silk and cotton clothing for men and women. Patra Selections was established in 1964 and their aim is to make the highest quality items from pure fabrics, without compromising on style. It is this ethos of affordable luxury that keeps loyal customers coming back - they know that when they buy Patra they won't be disappointed. Patra's designs are unique because they design everything themselves. I also love how affordable their collections are compared to other silk and naturally-made clothing. They're definitely an amazing brand to shop from.

I want to talk about 4 items that I received from Patra. These gorgeous pieces all come from their sleepwear collection and I want to show you how I wore them, what I thought and my experience shopping from them. 

1) Pure silk camisole - this gorgeous elegant piece isn't just for nightwear, it can also be layered underneath a jacket and worn by itself for a casual, put-together look for the daytime or for work. However, it's also great for sleeping, as it's silky soft and very comfortable.

As you can see, I styled this lovely camisole top with a pair of pyjama pants as it was perfect for a casual nighttime outfit. In terms of the quality, the top is made from 100% silk which is very luxurious and comfortable to wear. What's good about silk is that it is completely natural and durable, and extremely breathable too. It has a cooling effect, which means that you won't get too warm at night. It also feels extremely comfortable, though I'd recommend going a size up if you're in-between sizes.

As for the design, it's absolutely lovely because it isn't sheer at all and is the perfect texture- flowy, light and carefree. The length of the top is quite short, so I think it'd go well with high-waisted pants or shorts, or these gorgeous silk knickers that Patra sells! It's absolutely stunning, and has a waist-hugging shape.

2) Silk Knitted Slip- I've always wanted a silk slip ever since I was young. However, this is my first time trying on a silk slip. It's surprisingly comfortable and warm to sleep in, as silk has insulating properties. 

I'm amazed at the beauty of this slip dress - it's light, airy and silky smooth on my skin. Of course, being 100% made from pure silk, it's really delicate and flowy, and just about the right length for it to look casual. It also has adjustable straps, which makes it great for girls of all shapes and sizes.The quality is hands down amazing- it's 100% silk said before, which means that it's not like those other satin dresses that you can get online. They're really high quality and well-made, and feels super light. One of the best things about silk is it's weightlessness, and it really shows when you wear it.

3) Silk blend camisole - what more could we want than the perfect blend of modal and silk? This blended top is one of Patra's signature items, as it's lightweight, easier to care for and softer than your normal silk camisole. In terms of the design, this beautiful camisole is absolutely lovely and perfect for sleeping or layering underneath jumpers. I think the camisole is really soft and cozy as it is made from 90% modal and 10% silk, which means that you'll feel as light as the clouds when you wear the top. The cut is quite flattering and this is probably my favourite camisole of all time.

4) Silk Crew Neck Ribbed Jumper- this casual little garment suits all seasons and is lightweight, cozy and sturdy. I love the simplicity of the jumper, as it becomes easy to wear it with anything you like. I styled this with my white shorts for an all-white, innocent look. The quality of the jumper is amazing as it's made from silk threads, which are tightly woven together to form a lovely high-quality jumper. I'm super impressed with this item, and it's probably my favourite one of the lot. 

This piece is a true investment as it can last you for years to come. Patra's designs are timeless and elegant, and this piece can be worn both at home and for work, as it's thin enough to layer underneath suits. It also keeps you super warm during the winter! 

Overall, I'd highly recommend checking out Patra's lovely collection. It is elegant, casual and luxurious at the same time. If you're trying to find the perfect sleepwear and natural clothing, you should definitely check out Patra's affordable and beautiful range of clothing for men and women.  I know for sure that I can't get enough of them!
