Before I start this review, if there are any men out there who get a little squeamish with talk about women's lingerie, go now or forever hold you're peace. So I've seen reviews about Zivame for quite a while now and do check out a few things on their site from time to time. I've only heard good things about them so decided to try ordering. Zivame is a Lingerie store that has an exhaustive stock of all types of lingerie, shapewear and innerwear. I ordered during one of their Buy 1 Get 1 schemes and I have to say I'm quite impressed. So, onto my review and the reasons I liked them.

A screenshot of their site. They've got a scheme running right now too!

I Have to start off by saying that these guys have one of the best customer care I've come across in recent times. However, I do wish they would be more clear about the various schemes they run online. I really was quite disappointed when I ordered under a scheme and then didn't receive what I felt was being offered. However, one email and they sorted out everything in a couple of hours. Thank you so much guys.

Everything came well packaged (both my parcels) and their delivery service is quite excellent. They send you an SMS the day the parcel is supposed to reach you're doorstep and you get another message once the delivery is complete. This works great for people who work as they can have someone pick up their parcel if they can't be home. How awesome is that?!



Finally, as for the products themselves, they're exactly as described. They site has an extensive range that is suitable for every style and every occasion. Chances are, if there's a particular type of innerwear you're looking for, this is where you'll find it. Within budget so that's another bonus!


My verdict? I would definitely shop from Zivame again. I really couldn't find any fault with their services. They regularly run lots of cool schemes and promos on the site so you can keep checking till you get all your favorite things at bargain prices!

PS: This post was NOT sponsored by Zivame in any way. I'm simply a happy customer sharing my views.

A touch of neon never hurt anyone. And this doesn't hurt you're purse either! 

Are you one of those people who dress in almost a uniform of monochrome to work? While I'm not exactly a 'working girl' yet, I have been doing a bit of work recently. Yes, with a desk and everything! (How grown-up am I?!) So while I don't have a lot of rules when it comes to dressing, I still like wearing something cute and smart. I wore this last weekend when the dress code was casual instead of formal. 

If you've see the last few posts, you know I've got water on my mind. Today's post is a quick little look into how I dress while I'm rushing to go for a swim at the club. Nothing fancy I know, but I feel its important to show that you don't need to be dressed up all the time. For instance, why wear makeup when its all gonna be washed away in the pool anyway! (Yes, I'm one of those bloggers)

Remember when I did a review of the Elabore store a few weeks back? How I was highly impressed with their collection and promptly made a wishlist! Well, I received an order from them a few days ago and felt it was only fair to do a review of their customer care and delivery.

So the folks at Elabore Store were kind enough to send me a scarf to review. I didn't know which one they were sending, but I'm quite happy with the one I got. I don't usually go for bold graphic prints in scarves, preferring to use them to add pops of color to everyday outfits so this piece was a welcome addition. When I saw this print, I had a vision of pool parties (I do seem to dream of water a lot these days don't I!) and wearing it as a sarong. So that's exactly how I styled it!

The first thing I noticed when I opened the gorgeous gift wrapping (yay!) is that its exactly like the pictures on the site. This is important when it comes to colored/printed items as some sites don't show the actual color which leads to disappointment. Thankfully the people at Elabore Store deliver everything that's written on the box, and then some.

Delivery was fairly quick and I received it in three days from the date of ordering. Talk about quick huh!? Oh, and it came in this pretty wrapping paper. If you didn't know already, they provide gift wrapping service for no extra cost! Yay!! Solves all you're gifting problems right?! Anyway, I shall let the outfit do the talking about how pretty the scarf is!









I would definitely shop from here again. They have some truly unique pieces and their services are quite good. Have you bought anything from them? Yes? Tell me in the comments about you're experience.

So I've been in a rather bohemian mood lately. Last weekend I went to the beach with my family and while this outfit isn't what I actually wore, it inspired me to dress for a beach day.

And we're back! I'm really sorry I haven't been posting here lately, but starting this week, Thrifty Thursday is back on! And this time, you can actually lay your hands on these items, at street prices!! How cool is that? I even have an outfit featuring these!




To buy these, you can send a message on FACEBOOK with your details and we can talk shipping. 

Monochrome is and always has been my fallback when I'm searching for inspiration. When I came across these crazy printed pants on one of my Hill Road shopping sprees, I decided I had to have them. If only to feel my monochrome madness. I mean, isn't it the easiest thing to style a funky print and look really dressed up, even if you aren't. (Nobody needs to know I woke up an hour late in the morning. They're gonna be too busy admiring the trousers!)







This look is quite similar to the one I wore here. Granted. However, sometimes, its good to visit old outfits and this was one of those times. I like that the buttoned up shirt lets me wear a statement necklace without giving me a summer rash. (Everybody gets that in the summers yes?). In other news, last week I got a string of deliveries that I'll be sharing with you guys soon.

Guess what folks! I've finally decided to host my first giveaway! You all know how much I love accessories right? I practically live by the "accessories make an outfit" rule and my top favorite is always a statement necklace. When I laid eyes on this beauty on a random shopping spree, I knew it would be a great investment. So I figured, why not give my readers a chance to get their hands on it!

Happy participating! And good luck!

My first every giveaway coming soon on the blog! Are you guys excited??

Basically, I've developed an obsession this summer that simply won't go away! I seem to be tucking and folding even my normal tees to turn them into crop tops to wear in this near melting heat. This time, its a crop with a pleated maxi skirt. This skirt is gorgeous and I even wore it when I went to watch X-Men last week! (Pretty good movie btw).










So I decided this tshirt simply wasn't cutting it in the heat and did a little sneaky tucking and folding, added a little statement necklace and boom, an outfit worthy of brunch on lazy weekends. Of course the hair was in a messy bun, coz well, its summer and anything that touches my neck is just too much to handle.

Apart from this, there's a giveaway coming up tomorrow! Stay tuned! In the meantime, don't forget to follow us on Facebook to keep up with the best bargains!
