Hi guys, you know I recently had my sister’s wedding, and a vintage swing dress is perfect for such occasions!
If it includes tulle and lace, even better!
I was really worried about what I could wear that would be appropriate for a wedding, but if you’re an alternative fashion lover like me, the choice always comes down to vintage dresses.
The most important thing you need to be careful when ordering from websites is material, and although this vintage swing dress I chose contains polyester parts, it sits really well, and the majority is covered in pretty fabrics like lace and tulle.
I even shot a short video to let you know what I got “in person”, because it’s never the same on the pictures.
Accessory
Of course you need a perfect accessory for a perfect party look, and as I’m into chokers lately, I chose this rhinestone choker with ribbon. I have to admit in the beginning I was a little confused about how it works, but it all worked out in the end. 🙂 It shines amazing and goes well with the dress.
Be sure to check out the Rosegal website as you can find tons of vintage dresses, but also products for the home, beauty, etc. at very affordable prices! Also, the shipping is free. The staff is amzingly friendly and kind.
Outfit No.2
BTW my other black dress is by Punkrave, and my shoes are Bordello. 🙂
After the heels that are 13 cm high, I had to unwind in my new Converse – a perfect alterntive girl wedding look.
I also had some glitter in my purple hair, I wanted kind of galaxy hair, but it came off quickly.
The pictures
These pics are my first Photoshop experiments, so be kind 🙂
Please let me know what you think about these looks, check out my videos and Rosegal website 🙂

I’m back with the second outfit I wanted to show you – how to wear thigh high boots! This outfit is all about boots and accessories, and I got it all from – Zaful.
Zaful is a huge online store, with an especially big selection of shoes and accessories. I mean it, when you start browsing, you won’t know where to stop. The second think I liked is that they have bigger size shoes, which is not the case on other Chinese online shops. I’ve wanted thigh-high boots for quite some time, and with a normal heel, so I immediately decided to take these ones. They are very comfy, the heel is only about 6cm, so you can wear them every day They are also warm and lined up with thin fur inside but I definitely plan on wearing them in the spring as well. The lace at the top is adjustable, so really anyone can wear them.
I’m also obsessed with rose gold, so I decided to take this watch, and it’s a beautiful piece of jewelry, though I don’t wear it every day. It also works perfectly.
The 3rd thing I got is the goth-nugoth musthave – a harness. Don’t ask me why, but I started to really like chokers, so I got this “extended version”, though still minimalistic.
The shipping time was about a month, again because of the holidays, and also the customs. The customer service at Zaful is also great and very polite.
The second part of my post is about my 2nd blogiversary, which was in fact three weeks ago, but whatever.
Besides the marketing that I studied at the University, I’ve been really working on expanding my skills, taking an internet marketing course, reading a lot, listening to seminars and webinars. I’m always eager to expand my activity – I tried Snapchat yesterday, I’m working on my video making skills, I’m always looking for something new, besides and related to my job. So, always expect something new and exciting from me :p
The blogiversary means also– time for a rant!
Though I’ve already talked about this, it’s never too much, because new stuff is always surfacing:
WHAT NOT TO DO AS A BLOGGER
Most of this stuff seems pretty obvious, but the fact that people are still doing it makes me think it should still be pointed out.
1.Don’t make blogger enemies
If someone wants to help you, respect that. You never know when you’re gonna need someone. Do not get into unnecessary arguments.
2.Don’t unfriend/unfollow bloggers
Remember what I said about making enemies? Don’t do it. Believe me, I remember everything.
3.Don’t friend colleagues bloggers on FB
Only to spy on them. Facebook is something private, so if you added them as a friend, it goes without saying you should follow them publicly on the blog as well. If you’re there just lurking and not showing mutual support – it’s obvious what you’re doing.
4.Don’t follow/unfollow on Instagram
I know it’s been said a million times, and you think “well I’m not the one who’s gonna change the system”, then no one will. I follow the account I like even if they unfollowed me. There’s something to be learned from everyone. So if I have the courtesy to check out your profile, you should do the same, otherwise – how are you better than me?
5.Don’t sell yourself short
This is another one I’m gonna keep repeating until the last one understands. Don’t do a post for $10, you are doing a disservice to the whole blogging industry. If you keep letting Chinese companies exploit you, you won’t go any further than that, and I know ya’ll dreaming of becoming rich and wearing Dior, well, it’s not gonna happen, unless you build your brand with integrity.
6.“Nice post. NOW GO CHECK OUT MINE – LOOK HERE CLICK HERE: WWW.SOMEB*TCHWHOKNOWSNOTHINGABOUTMARKETING.BLOGSPOT.COM”
-Don’t leave comments like this! I have nothing against putting a link to your blog, actually I appreciate it so I can respond, but please, this is spammy and insulting 7. “I was just browsing through the net for wedding dresses and found this great store…”
Really? You’re getting married 4 times a year? Congratulations!
Seriously, don’t treat your audience like we’re stupid. Tell us if it’s a sponsored post.
I hope you find this helpful and don’t take it the wrong way. After all, blogging is making your online brand.
What do you think about all this? What else would you like me to write about?
Since my b-day is in exactly in two weeks, I thought I’d make a little bday wishlist (hint to friends 🙂 Most of it is jewelry and pretty cheap, so why not?! In case it doesn’t arrive in two weeks, I accept belated presents as well, don’t worry 🙂 Here’s what’s on my list, and some general ideas for you. I accept: -jewelry in all shapes and sizes -heels -balloons -glitter in all forms -candles (always a good present idea) -charm bracelets -graphic tees -skulls and stars on anything!
