Cyber Monday Deals + Tips for Shopping at Shein

Friday, November 20, 2015

It's another Cyber Monday deal waiting for you at Shein. This website has several surprises in store for their loyal shoppers with Thanksgiving just around the corner. Take advantage of these great deals to enjoy major savings. Shop now as this offer is available for a limited time only (promo ends November 26th!) so make sure to check it here.

These are some of my favorite items available at the sale, starting off with their outerwear selection:

Red Lapel Coat / Pink Lapel Coat / Green Lapel Coat

Camel Lapel Coat / Grey Lapel Coat / Dark Green Lapel Coat

See more dresses here:

Black Cap Sleeve Lace Dress / Red Off The Shoulder Dress / Blue Short Sleeve Sheath Dress

To help you shop for your favorite items at Shein, I'll be sharing my own personal tips for you based on my experience shopping at the website:

1. Always check for reviews. Look at the reviews posted at the product page itself. Some users will leave a review but always look for ones with a "Verified Purchase" seal. This is your guarantee that the user leaving the review made an actual purchase of the product.

2. Other shoppers at Shein can also upload photos along with their review on the Style Gallery. Ideally, and based on my own experience, I would only buy items with photo reviews from other users. This will allow me to inspect the photos and gauge the quality of the product.

3. Always check the sizing chart and compare it with your own measurement. Not all sizes are the same. You can get one item in small and another in medium or large. Do not settle for your usual size.

Either way, the prices at Shein are almost unbeatable. There is nothing to lose when buying from them. But when you use the above tips for shopping, you can snag excellent quality pieces that seem more expensive than what you paid for.

Will you take advantage of this Cyber Monday deal?

Must Have Mint

Friday, March 8, 2013

When it comes to spring and summer fashion, there is no better color that comes to mind than Mint. It is fresh, vibrant, and chic. Thus, the color epitomizes how it is like to look fashionably chic yet seems as though you've put on little effort. That is the kind of look I'm going for so when I saw the mint items in store at Lulu's, I can't help but gush and drool a little (or, a lot) because the items are perfect for spring fashion.

Have you stocked up on mint for spring yet?
