Review: ShippingCart.com - Ship your Finds

I have discovered shipping cart within my friends or colleagues or it might be through an influencer. I cannot remember anymore. Anyways, I have researched and I was able to convinced myself to try it.

What is shipping cart? Well, they will help you to ship things you bought online from other countries and deliver it to your house. Of course! with a fee. It depends if you will choose via air or sea. If you want it badly and cannot wait for the items you bought, I suggest to ship it via air but it will be more expensive. If you want to have cheaper shipping fee, you can ship via sea but it will be a little longer. It will take around more or less 40 days to receive the item.

Click here if you want to get an estimation if the shipping via air cargo or sea cargo.

Unboxing time

What makes it easier to trust shipping cart? For the reason that they have a partnership with LBC. Ang hari ng padala.. It is super sure that it will arrive safely in your house. By the way, this is not a sponsored post. Haha This is all base on my experience.

This is my mom's bag

By the way, what are the items I bought via online? Hmm.. So.. hahahaha Well.. I bought my mom and myself a bag on kate spade website. They have secret sale during those time. I cannot resist 40-75% discount. It was also Christmas season. Perfect for gifts.

This is my bag

These are pasabuys hahaha

Before buying first, check if the country or website you will use to order is supported by Shipping Cart. Always make sure to read the prohibited goods listed on their website. If everything is now clear. Time to order. Here are the events I encountered during those time:

Checkout your items in the website
Fill up the shipping address from the address listed or provided by Shipping cart
Wait for the item to arrive in their warehouse
Declare the items to be received by the warehouse
Once the item/s arrived, they will send photos of your orders.
If you ordered from different website, they will have different timeframe of arrival. Shipping cart will have a 30 day free storage. You have still time to consolidate things.
When everything is good, time to ship out and pay for the shipping fee.
Wait.. and wait and wait.. it will arrive the soonest. Don’t yah worry ;)

The verdict

Everything went smooth for me. I selected via air cargo. I have remembered it arrived more or less than a week, after consolidating. Our items are all in good conditions. Will I order again and use shipping cart? Yes, I will. It makes my online shopping addition to be more fun and exciting. By the way, it is a little expensive too but the charges are with taxes and fees from customs. No extra hidden charges. However, they are only catering to Australia, USA and United Kingdom as of now. I hope they will expand to other countries too just like Japan and HK.

I will give them a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars

Maybe there are still confused on the outfit to wear. They should start dressing themselves with a little maturity but youthful. Sophisticated and elegant.

Surplice Plain Bodycon Dress – This is simple yet elegant perfect for morning till dawn attire.

V-neck Plain Tie-Front Bodycon Dress – Wraparound dress are one of the basic items that a woman should have. It accentuates the waist of a woman. It gives an illusion of smaller waist. *wink *wink

Wearing Modest Clothing to Impress

Photo Credit: Hannah Morgan

No matter what occasion or event, you want to make a good first impression. Too many times, especially with women they often do not consider that the way they dress will leave a lasting impression. In many cases, the impression they wish to convey is not what they truly conveyed toothers they met.

Women often look at the way movie stars or others on television wear to help them make the decision on the type of clothing they should wear. This can actually be disastrous as most of the clothing you see worn on televisionis not appropriate. For many women, especially those that wish to follow their faith have a more difficult time as they cannot dress the way the stars do or the will not be following the rules set forth by their chosen faith. This means that are going to have a very difficult time trying to dress modestly and having the self-confidence needed to leave a good impression.

The truth is modest dresses for women will actually leave a much nicer and better impression. When you meet someone for the first time, do you really want them looking at your cleavage or talking with others about the tightness of your dress? When women dress with low necklines, low back lines all the way to the hip bones or short skirts that often leave nothing to the imagination are never seen as intelligent or knowledgeable. These women are usually trying to use their bodies to get attention or get ahead instead of using their natural beauty and brains.

The same goes for female teenagers when they have a formal event at their school. Most want to dress like their friends, stars, or at least trendy fashions. Parents often have to step in to help their daughters dress modestly. The good news is that you can actually help your daughter find modest prom dresses that she will love instead of wearing clothing that is too revealing which you know will give the wrong impression.

The fashion industry is actually listening to women that wish to dress modestly. You may not find the clothing in the mainstream stores, but you can find several designers online that have listened and are creating beautiful styles with many different colors to help support your desire to dress modestly while still wearing clothing that is in style for today.

The choices are growing every day which is wonderful for many women that have had to wear the same dresses year after year and pass their dresses down to their daughters for their school events. Many of the dresses were worn by their mothers as well, so of course, your daughter will not wish to wear a dress her grandmother wore to her prom. She wants a dress that will make her feel like she can compete with the other girls at her school while still dressing modestly. This can be accomplished by shopping online with your daughter. Both of you will find beautiful, stylish, and modest dresses that will allow her natural beauty to shine.

All You Need To Know About Long Sleeve Dresses

Modern fashion industry actively restores long sleeve dresses into female wardrobes. Such dresses are suitable for any season, they are also practical and convenient.

To whom may they fit?

The long sleeve dresses suit to any body type. They not only emphasize the slender figure, but also hide the body flaws, you only need to choose the proper model. Such dresses are perfect for women who are not satisfied with their arms. If you feel you have bingo wings, or your arms aren't as toned as you’d like them to be, then a dress with long sleeves could be a perfect match for you. This type of dress will let any woman look more slender and elegant. One more benefit of having such dress is that you don’t have to buy additionally a bolero or a cardigan for it; that means the dress will fit both for a cold winter evening, and for a chill summer night.

A variety of styles for long sleeve dresses

Long sleeve mini-dresses are very popular among young girls. More often, the back part of such apparels is exposed, what actually delights their owners, while the hands are hidden. A girl wearing such dress looks sensual and romantic.

A dress covering one shoulder looks also stylish and gracefully. The length of a dress can vary from mini to maxi. This option is great for attending some parties.

A multi-purpose dress has a pretty deep neckline and is made of monochromatic tissue. This style is also suitable for any occasion; you only have to apply proper accessories to it: a handbag and jewelries, fashionable belt and thin studs.

A roll-neck dress is regarded a very practical and comfortable model. As a rule, it is supplemented with a V-shape neckline or a stand-up collar. Such dress swifts the body and makes the silhouette look incredibly attractive.

A model of a dress with flared sleeves is a real godsend for curvy-shaped women. Such fashions look womanly and can visually correct the body in general.

For the evening outfit, the long sleeve dresses should have an original trim and decoration. Flowers, bow-knots and various draperies can add individuality to the apparel.

Long sleeve dresses will fit well both for attending some official ceremonies and receptions, and for work, or cinema, or just for a walk with friends. Depending on the fashion, style and color, you can pick up any unusual accessories to the dress, and make your look even more original. This beautiful thing is a must-have in any female wardrobe. It will let any lady create her personal irresistible look.

The Art of Mizuno Masaki

The contemporary art is now simply full of talent. New gorgeous Brazilian models, Los Angeles photographers and French designers, are making fashion history every single day. The Japanese master Mizuno Masaki is one artist that is not well known to the general public but has an incredible success. He is a talented illustrator and art director that is now making his first steps in the fashion industry. The amazing artist is a proud resident of Tokyo city. His images are full of elegance and the way he works with the pencil and with the watercolors is simply, breathtaking. Even if most of his illustrations depict naked girls, they are full of chic and life.

Famous fashion houses often invite Masaki to draw their collections. The Japanese artist has depicted the models in pieces of clothing from brands, like Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Maison Martin Margiela, Miu Miu, Nina Ricci, Prada, Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen. The artist claims that by creating the watercolor, acrylic and pencil drawings of naked or fashionable dressed girls, he primarily seeks to express their inner feelings and vibes. His work is an expression of the inner psychology and self-reflection through art. Mizuno says that it is important for the audience to get a glimpse of his own point of view and way of feeling and tasting life and art. What a beautiful way to express his attitude towards art and fashion…

Masaki Mizuno was born 1971, in the province of Ishikawa, Japan. He graduated a very famous school in Tokyo-the Bunka Fashion College. After graduation, he started creating illustrations for the fashion industry while alternating them with different personal ideas. The sensuality and fragility that can be seen and felt in the Masaki’s works, are unique. The combination between the traditional materials and techniques, the addition of innovative ways to paint with acrylic, pencil, gouache and airbrushing and the personal point of view on fashion, are what makes Masaki so genuine and successful. Fashion has to deal not only with clothes, shoes and accessories. It is an industry based 100% on art that’s created by people like Mizuno Masaki.
