Top tips for shopping with eBay, Aliexpress, Romwe, Zaful etc.

Hi my Loves,

Today on my snapchat (@rebekahwithlove) I was showing you guys a recent purchase I had made from eBay and I had tonnes of questions flooding in about shopping on eBay. To be honest, any time I ever share any pieces I have purchased from eBay or Asian retailers like Zaful or Romwe - I always get loads of questions.

Shop in the Spotlight | *NEW BLOG SERIES*

Hi my loves,

This is just a very quick update post BECAUSE I want to let you all know that have decided to do a new series for my blog and it is going to be called 'Shop in the Spotlight'.
Basically, each week I will be focusing on a shop or brand that may not be as 'household' of a name as the usual brands like River Island or Zara etc. but they stock clothes that could rival those brands 10 times over!
My intention is to draw attention to brands that not absolutely everyone knows about - because for me anyway nothing is more exciting than stumbling upon a gem of a shop that maybe I hadn't heard of before! I think we are all guilty of getting stuck in a rut and shopping in the same places so I'm hoping this will give you all some fresh ideas!

I'll have the first of this series up this week & if you know of any shops or brands that everyone deserves to know about, let me know and I can feature them! <3

The Hottest Shoe Trends for SS17 | Ego Official

Hi my loves,

I hope we are all doing well. Today the main purpose of this post is to make you broke!

....

Jokes obviously, however that might actually be a real side effect of reading this post..!

I am a shoe lover as most of you know - it used to be for me the higher the shoe the better but as I've gotten older & suffered an injury that has really effected my balance I've become more appreciative of all shoes, including runners which you never would of caught me dead in before.

Personally I love to do my shoe shopping online mostly now-a-days because I feel that's where you can get the most unique shoes for a great price and I also find online stores are very good for taking inspiration from designers.

Ego Official is one of my all time favourite shoe stops - their site is a haven for shoe lovers and their footwear is just SO on trend at the moment.

So that being said I am going to talk your through some of the biggest footwear trends for Spring/Summer 2017 featuring my favourite bits from their site - lets go!

Denim for Days | Denim Jackets

Hi my loves,

I don't know about all of you, but up until maybe a month ago I was not a denim jacket fan. Call me crazy, but they just reminded me of the era of denim mini skirts and velour two piece tracksuits (I'm coming around to the denim mini skirt trend too BTW, the velour tracksuits.. never again.) and just wasn't my favourite trend. I hate to be restricted and the thoughts of wearing denim and trying to bend my arms or even roll up the sleeves just wasn't speaking to me.

THEN over-sized and shredded, destroyed denim jackets suddenly blew up in past few months (thank you Kardashians) and I did a total 180. The over-sized trend is what got me, it made the denim jacket seem more grown up and "cool-girl-esque" AND over-sized = more comfy.

I spoke about this on instagram a few weeks back but a little tip when buying anything of a denim nature is to buy them from multinational, big companies. I say this because denim is something they buy in serious bulk so they can afford to give a very good price for denim because they buy such large quantities (they get it for cheaper etc.). These are companies like Zara, Pull and Bear and Stradivarius - Forever 21 is another great example.

So I have scoured the internet to find you guys my fave denim jackets on the market at the moment and I hope you like what I have picked!

Stradivarius Over-sized denim jacket

New Look over-sized denim jacket

Boohoo multi ripped distressed denim jacket

Pretty Little Thing Evia Rose & tiger denim jacket

MissPap dark denim ripped detail denim jacket

Forever 21 Distressed Denim jacket

Pull and Bear over-sized denim jacket

Pull and Bear Long fit denim jacket

I hope this helped you guys out if you were in the market for a denim jacket! Denim jackets are going to be a string trend for spring/summer '17 so I highly recommend picking one up - your wardrobe will thank you!

PrettyLittleThing: 'Eastern Promise' drop

Hello my loves,

Have you ever seen clothes and just felt inspired for no real apparent reason?

When I saw PrettyLittleThing.com's newest drop, I felt this way! I Usually don't really do specific posts for brand drops, but this collection hit my heart hard!

PrettyLittleThing are describing their Eastern Promise collection as a trans season drop - trans seasons are my FAVOURITE, basically it's late summer, early autumn & late spring early summer.

The colour palette is to die for, literally to die for. There are neutral stone nude shades, mixed with arrays of pink from light pink to rose, some dusty blue and of course some darker trans-seasonal colours & oriental-esque print. The mix of fabric is also so varied - you''ll see some lace, some satin, velvet & even fluffy material. 

The collection very really has my name written all over it.

The majority of pieces in this collection are under €30, with the exception of the jackets & fancier dresses, so good price points!

I've picked out some of my favourite pieces from the collection and I am going to link them below for you all to lust over and shop away to your heart's content:

 Kaddy snakeskin bodycon dress €21/£15

Vivienna Dusty Blue Fluffy Knitted mini skirt €21/£15 //  Vivienna Dusty blue fluffy knitted crop top €21/£15
