Blogshop Alert : Little Wishes

Have you been paying attention and notice a new advertiser in the right column? Did you click it? No?

 

Well, don't click it now. Read this post first, click the Facebook 'Like' at the bottom, then you can go click on the new advertiser. :p

 

Anyway, today's feature is on a newly formed blogshop named Little Wishes. Just seconds on the homepage of Little Wishes, I was already sure I'm already going to buy something.

Caught your attention, right?

 

I thought so.

Little Wishes was started by two cousins, one of which is based in the United Kingdom, in December 2010. Fueled by a passion for shopping (like me!), the two cousins thought to provide products that are not readily available in Brunei.

 

Items are carefully selected by scouring various shops in the UK, with this thought in mind, "What would the girls like?"

For now, items you can order includes Forever 21 clothings, and some selected Urban Decay and Smashbox makeup products.

 

At the moment, they have a special Chinese New Year (CNY) batch out and I am SO putting in my order to get some CNY clothes!

 

Get your measuring tape out and let me take you around Little Wishes.

 

For ME

When you enter Little Wishes, make sure you click 'For Her' near the top of the page. You can see that there are three categories there.

 

I'm going into the clothings section first.

Click 'For Her'!

For MY Clothings

First thing you'll see is a picture of the silhouette of a sexy lady with notes on how to take your measurements. This was why I told you to take out your measuring tape.

 

Get someone to help you so you can stand up straight to get more accurate measurements.

When shopping online for clothes, it's best you measure yourself correctly to avoid disappointment when you receive your order. I have my measurements memorized for this sort of occasions. :)

Marie Printed Lace Dress

Don't you think this dress looks a little like a cheongsam? This dress is styled to be very fitted, so you definitely have to be sure about your measurements. Because of the black panels at the sides of the floral print front, your figure will appear slimmer.

 

I also like the little oval cutout at the top of the dress, to show a little cleavage (whatever little cleavage I may have). From the depth of the cutout, you can't wear a full cup bra for this dress.

 

The dress is made of 70% viscose, which is a soft material that's very similar to rayon.

 

Retails at B$41.10

 

Jenna Polka Bow Neck Dress

I like this dress because it has the 1950's feel to it. Reminds me of the type of dresses Amanda Bynes wore in the movie Hairspray.

 

It's a simple black-on-white polka dots with a high neck adorned with two black bows. The cut of the dress is meant to emphasize your waist with its flared skirt. At 75cm long, it can be pretty short on tall girls.

 

Made of 97% cotton, it's not going to be very stretchable, so measure up!

 

Retails at B$55.20.

Charlotte Print Elastic Waist Dress

You know I love dresses in colors that POP. In bright red and big floral patterns, this dress definitely POPs! The contrast of the red, black and white really goes well too.

 

The neck is a 'U' shape, both front and back, and the back is deep enough to show off a sexy back. Clinched waist with the black sash with a lined zipper at the back.

 

Made of 97% polyester, so it's mighty stretchable. :)

 

Retails at B$35.00

The collection of clothes contains really lovely pieces and you'd have a difficult time trying to pick out which ones you will get. Although most of them are dresses, you'll also find cardigans, short pants and skirts.

 

Check them out here!

 

ALL clothes are on pre-order basis, which means that you have to make FULL PAYMENT to get your order confirmed.

 

For MY Accessories

Next, I head to 'For Her Accessories'. Most of them are necklaces, and are of a quirky fashion. As told by Little Wishes, they're all handmade which makes it more valuable.

 

My choices are...

Beside The Sea

This little necklace reminds me of Little Mermaid. It has an almost ethereal feel with the gold clam and sweet pearl and pink ribbon.

 

Oh, and the clam is a locket too so you can store a picture of a love one and look at it whereever you go.

 

Retails at B$26.00

 

Lucky Star

Now, I'm feeling irish! A nicely detailed four-leaf clover made of brass with a little gold star. and also a Swarovski crystal horseshoe. With all these lucky charms, maybe it will bring you luck?

 

Retails at B$38.00

It's Tea Time

This may not be one of the typical rings, but I think it's really cute with the mini teacup and saucer, adorned with floral motif. The ring is also adjustable, so you don't have to worry about sizing.

 

If you buy this with the matching teacup necklace (Tea For One), you just need to pay B$4.00 for this ring. Otherwise, it'll cost you B$8.00.

 

 

ALL accessories will be in-stock in Brunei very soon. But you can book them now, and just collect them when they've arrived.

 

Check out the accessories here.

 

For MY Cosmetics

This is the third volume of the Urban Decay Book Of Shadows collection. As you can see, it is inspired by the urban life of New York City.

 

There's 16 eyeshadows to take you from day to night, 2 eye pencils in Ransom and Zero, and 1 travel-size eyeshadow primer potion. The eyeshadows are a combination of glitter, shimmer and matte finish, and also contains both best seller Urban Decay shades as well as, exclusive one-time-only shades.

 

Definitely a must-have for Urban Decay lovers. The cover of the box is also so cool with the pop-out of New York City and the lit mirror!

 

Retails at B$100.00

Smashbox Wish For The Perfect Palette. Taken from musingsofamuse.com

The Smashbox Wish For The Perfect Palette is part of Smashbox's Winter Collection 2010. And just because we don't have winter in Brunei doesn't mean we can't use the colors right?

 

It has a whopping 49 eyeshadows, 10 cream eye liners and other shades for the entire face! Not to mention, you also get 4 mini beauty brushes for the eyes and lips.

 

There's only ONE piece available from Little Wishes, and it retails for B$160.00.

 

 

There are LIMITED pieces of these collectible makeup pieces and will be in-stock in Brunei very soon so you better be quick to book them! Check out the cosmetics here.

 

Special Chinese New Year Batch!

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, Little Wishes is having a Special CNY batch for the items. But this Batch will be closed by 15th January 2011! This means you only have a FEW days to place your order!

 

To order, you simply need to email Little Wishes a form like the below.

You just need to choose which mail service for the clothes (Pre-order).Little Wishes will then confirm your order and you need to make FULL payment by bank deposit/transfer into a Brunei bank account within TWO days after receiving the confirmation email.

 

For the soon to be in-stock items (accessories and cosmetics), you just need to pick whether to collect them yourself (free) or meet-up (additional fee). Payment is to be made only when you go to get your items.

 

For more details on the process, you can find out from Little Wishes' blog.

 

The Year of the Rabbit!

Anyway, I have to go now to place my order for my CNY clothes. Little Wishes told me that if I order by the deadline of 15th January 2011, I'll get my clothes by 29th January 2011, in time for Chinese New Year.

 

I'm going to pick Fedex/DHL though, just in case. So, if you guys put in your orders to be Fedex/DHL, I'll get Little Wishes to put our orders together to we can share the delivery charges.

Join me now for a shopping spree!

 

xoxo

 

Little Wishes is started by two cousins, where one is based in UK as the purchasing arm and the other is based in Brunei as the delivery arm. In the future, they plan to bring in more labels and also products for the men. I think that they are a blogshop to watch out for!

    Hi people!

    Amy : I know right?!?! That black cheongsam is mine by the way. So, hands off!!! Hahaha Kidding! But i'm really getting that dress though. :P

    Just order in whenever you're ready, I've already told Little Wishes to combine any orders that request for courier service for the CNY batch.

    And that goes for you too Audrey! Just order in and request either DHL or Fedex. Little Wishes will find out the cheaper courier rates and combine all orders requesting for courier delivery altogether to save on costs.

    John Rey : Yup, some of the brands that they're consider to bring in are FV21, Levis, CK, and Timberland. I told her that I DO have some male readers who DO want to shop! Maybe you can give them some suggestions what they should consider through email? :)
