A Shopping Spree At Little Wishes
Hey hey hey!
So, today, I'm back with one of my 'Blogshop Alerts', Little Wishes! I featured Little Wishes a few months ago when I stumbled upon the blogspot during one of my web-surfing stints.
Little Wishes stocks stuff that we can't normally get in Brunei. How they're able to do that is because one half of Little Wishes is based in the United Kingdom. So I guess, in that way, Little Wishes is like a personal shopper. :)
I did buy a couple of dresses from Little Wishes, and I had no regrets! You can check the dresses I got from Little Wishes here.
It's Shopping Time!
Little Wishes had opened up a really super special order batch for is this time round. Forever 21, Dorothy Perkins, Office, MAC; clothes, shoes, makeup! Seriously, this batch may just empty my pockets out.
So what can you see in this batch? As usual, let me break it down for you.
For those voluptuous fashionistas, Little Wishes had thought of you ladies. You can find an array of plus-size tops in different styles, different colours (but all fashionable) from Forever 21's collection.
I've picked out a few favourites, of course. :)
This simple top from Forever 21 caught my eye because of the vibrant colours of the large, single hibiscus flower print. The summer tee is lightweight enough for our weather, and what I like about it is that it's striking without being over the top.
Made of polyester, and comes in 4 XL sizes.
Price : B$53
For a night out with your girlfriends, this geometric top would be perfect. I have to admit, I'm kind of partial to blue, but this shade of blue contrasts well against the black.
A round neckline that's wide enough to keep you cool during those balmy nights, and the slight waistline to emphasize the waist. It looks like this top is designed to give a slimming effect.
Made of lightweight polyester.
Price : B$ 58
For the less curvaceous girls, Little Wishes also provides casual tops from Forever 21 for your pickings. Floral tops, flannel tops, cardis, you name it.
There's quite a variety in the collection and I had a good time browsing through it to pick my favourites.
Here, we've got a cute and simple sleeveless top. It may seem really simple, but the beauty is in the details. Notice the lace linings down the front of the top?
The curve of the lace lines beside the buttons emphasize the bust, while the lace down the body streamlines the figure. A close-up of the top shows that the polka dot material is in narrow pleats, which is a really nice subtle touch.
Made of 83% rayon and 17% nylon.
Price : B$51
H&M is another brand we don't have much access to, but if you're a fan of the brand, why not try out this studiously chic cardigan?
This 100% cotton felt-knit cardigan has navy blue buttons all the way down the front and 3/4 sleeves. One thing that I look for in a cardigan are narrow fitted sleeves, which this one has.
The cardigan comes in two colour palette; red with blue stripes and blue with white stripes. Personally, I prefer the one pictured above.
Price : B$36
See Little Wishes' H&M collection.
Although Little Wishes has dresses from several brands, I'm going to highlight the dresses from Dorothy Perkins.
I'm sure most of you have heard of this popular British clothes retailer, and that quality of their clothes are top-notch. Their style lean more towards being conservative, but in this Little Wishes' pre-order batch, I found really gorgeous classic dresses you may like too.
If there's one thing you should have in your wardrobe, it's an LBD (Little Black Dress).
This LBD has a modest high neck, capped sleeves, pencil skirt with a thin belt to cinch the waist. Simple and elegant, this dress is versatile and would be suitable to be worn for any occasions.
And it looks like the inner lining has polka dots on nude, which I think is really cute.
Made of 71% polyester.
Price : B$99
Another pretty dress from H&M. The vintage style of this dress kind of reminds me of Audrey Hepburn. The lace against the nude slip shows of the floral motifs of the lace.
High-neck, sleeveless with an A-line skirt and prettily finishes off with a black sash around the waist, tied in a ribbon at the side.
Made of 100% polyester.
Price : B$99
Let's Accessorize!
To go with the tops and dresses above, you will also need your accessories. Good thing Little Wishes thought of that and has also included some gorgeous necklaces and bracelets from Forever 21.
Let's take a look!
This is an aptly named necklace. With crystals of blue and sea green in multiple sizes, it does represent the beauty of the sea.
Hung on 3 rows of high polish rolo chains, this necklace reaches halfway down the chest and closes with a lobster claw clasp.
Price : B$ 33
For those of you who likes chunky jewelry, this necklace would be an awesome addition to your collection.
Pink pearl beads of different sizes hang from a medium-length gold-coloured chain. This would accessorize a nice pretty dinner frock.
Price : B$36
This cuff from Forever 21 is decorated with rhinestones placed strategically in the middle of little flower petals. Again, the little details are what makes it so attractive.
The bracelet doesn't have a clasp but will hold firm around your wrist with its double elastic straps.
Price : B$30
And My Favourite...
SHOES!
A shopping spree will not be complete without shoes, right? And Little Wishes sure do have some lovely heels in this batch. We've got pretty pumps from Forever 21 and some really stylish platforms and wedges from Office.
Like I said, I'm partial to the colour blue. So, I'm drawn to these electric blue satin pumps. They stand on 4.5" back heel with the soles in polished black. These pumps may sound a little too tall, but the shoes also stands on a 0.7" platform.
But the most distinguishing feature of the shoes are the 2 striking satin flowers on the ankles of the heels. A really nice touch.
Comes in black, charcoal and royal.
Price : B$65
These pair from Office are my favourite of the bunch! Another pair of platform high heels, with vibrant floral patterns against a black backdrop. More than tall enough to elongate your legs, the straps cross across the feet before circling around the ankle and close with the standard notch.
Available in sizes from 3 to 8.
Price : B$ 188
Ready To Shop?
Now, I've gone on long enough about Little Wishes' Pre-Order Batch. There are actually a lot more of items in this one humungous batch. But, really, they're a lot more than I can ever put in this post.
Before I end this post, you also need to know that Little Wishes can order other items from the UK for you. The below are some of where you can do your shopping.
So, there are a lot of choices for you. If you want to start placing your order, just have read Little Wishes' instructions on how to order or you can read my previous post on them where I detailed how to make payment and how you'll get your purchases.
But just remember, the Pre-Order ends on Sunday, 8th of May, at 9.00pm. So, make sure to place your orders before that!
Adios!
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!
