Nerdy Little Secrets Goodies Review


So I recently received my items from this cute Etsy shop! They specialize in pastel accessories like hair clips, jewelery, etc. The perfect collection for pastel goth, fairy kei, lolita, or other cute styles! I chose to review a choker and "gmr grl ;)" necklace! Here's the package:


I absolutely loved the handwritten note and business card included! It was a very nice, personal touch which I always enjoy. And even the bag that contained the items was cute! I'm really loving the sugar skulls and Day of the Dead theme going on right now so I'll be reusing this bag for sure haha.


Here's all the goodies! There's the Pastel Goth Moon Velvet Choker and Pastel Mini PlayStation Controller Necklace that I picked, as well as some extra gifts, two Small Pastel Goth Bone Hair Clips and this Lacey Pastel Brooch!

So first I want to talk about the Velvet Choker! I actually chose this one because I cosplay Rose Lalonde and I thought it would be really appropriate to wear as her!


 Here's a close look. I love the pink chain at the back of the choker. It gives the piece more character. The little yellow charm is a very nice little addition too!


It looks so elegant and dainty on. It's a very minimal design which I really liked because when I'm wearing this, it's not meant to be the main focus. It draws attention to the neck without distracting too much from the face.


It's slimming and delicate and I'm absolutely taken with it. The velvet is so soft and the whole item is well crafted and light, you hardly notice you're wearing it at all! It even comes in a spider charm as well, in case you weren't a fan of the moon design.

The other main piece I got was the PlayStation necklace. I chose this one not only because of how cute it would look to wear as Nanami or Roxy, but also because I really am a playstation gamer at heart. It was probably my favourite console as a kid and I spent so many hours playing Bomberman and Crash Bandicoot... So it really is a throwback for me!


This pendant is honestly so cute and I really adore it! All the buttons are individually painted and base is solid but light.


I just ditched Nanami's pink ribbon and used the necklace instead. In fact, I firmly believe this is what she should have been wearing in the game. It's the perfect addition to this outfit. 


This one is probably my favourite item of the bunch. I know I'm gonna get a ton of use from it, and it'll last too!


Finally we've got the bonus goodies!!! I was very happy to find these surprises and I'm already planning a full fairy kei outfit with them! They're the perfect accessories for the style and I'm glad I can add them to my collection! I especially love the bone clips but it's tough to see the pretty glitter in them from the pictures. They look much better in person, trust me!

So as my first experience with Nerdy Little Secrets, I can 100% say I recommend the shop and that the items are not only cute but quality too.



Make sure you check out all the other cute items as well! There's so many adorable, unique items, and you can even request a custom order. I've already got a wishlist which you can check out below!

SheInside Black Hooded Coat Review


I'm finally able to do a review of one of my favourite stores, SheInside! I've been browsing the store for a long time now and my wishlist keeps growing just like their selection! The item I'm reviewing today is one that I've had my eye on for quite a while now. Since it's that time of year where we say goodbye to the sun and hello to cool, rainy weather, it's also time we change our wardrobes to match.


This is the picture advertised on the site:

And here's the one that came for me!


Obviously I'm not as skilled at making it look great on a hanger, but I was very happy with the likeness. In person it's darker and more true to black than these picture let on. It's also not that wrinkly, the lighting just makes it look like that. The shape is definitely intended to look better on your figure than sitting on a hanger though.


The quality of this jacket is very high as well! Sometimes when you order jackets like this online you get something thin and hastily made, but all of the seems inside are hidden the edges are clean and neat. It's definitely worth the price. (And it's on sale right now so it's a better deal than before!)


It fits so nicely on and sits in a very loose, casual, and comfortable way. It's really ideal and the perfect addition to my wardrobe. Since it's black with a grey interior, it goes with virtually everything too. It's everything I could ask for in a sporty, light coat.


One feature that I loved about this hoodie is that the zipper goes all the way to the top of the hood. Of course I'm not going to wear it like that, but i still think it's cute, and it's also looks really interesting as a trim on the hood.

(I'm wearing a Medium)



Overall, this coat is fantastic. The hood is large enough to cover my head well - I often find a lot of hoods are way to small or big to hang properly - and the sleeves are proportionate. As my first experience with SheInside, I'm extremely pleased. They've proven to be high quality, affordable, and fashionable. This item is a must have for the season and I'm glad I have mine just as the nice weather starts to fade.

Tappuri Fashion TWINKLE Shirt Review




This is my first review with Tappuri Fashion. I've been watching the store for a while now, and they've alwasy got such cute, fashionable clothes in stock, so I'm very excited to try an item myself! I chose this shirt to review. I love crop tops and I really need more black clothing in my wardrobe, so I seemed like the best choice!

Here's how it's shown on the site:


And here's what came!




The fabric is super soft and really nice quality! I was expecting regular tshirt cotton but was pleasantly surprised instead. I threw it on to test out the size.



I fit great and the material hung nicely. The worst thing is when crop tops cling to you so I'm glad I didn't have that problem with this one!

For this review I decided to get into Aoba cosplay because I haven't really done much of him! Plus i think the black really looks great with the blue contrast. I may or may not also have thought that the wording was a bit ironic. Hehe.




I'd definitely recommend this shirt. It was comfy and soft and really nice quality. The wording is printed on well so there's no worrying about it coming off or fading. It's all around just a nice solid item that's great as a base for an outfit! And since it's black, it's super versatile as well!

Make sure to check out this item and the other great clothing available!

Choies Rainbow Unicorn Print Tee Review


This is my first review with Choies (and certainly not my last), and I've been looking forward to if for a while! It was really tough to choose just one item to start off with, but I'm happy with my choice of this super cute printed tee!



Here's the item that was advertised on the site.


It's not currently available since they probably ran out of stock, but you can find the sweater with the same print - shown below - here!
Anyways, the package arrived and I threw it on to see how it fit! I admit I was a little nervous it would be too small since it only comes in one size and the measurements seemed a bit smaller than mine, but I got it anyways and hoped for the best.



I was relieved to find it fit perfectly! It was just the right amount of looseness, I couldn't ask for a better fit!


I got into makeup and everything, throwing on these cute sweatbands that I've had forever that really just tied the whole look together.



I really love this cheeky design and the high quality of the shirt in general! A lot of print tees I've tried are usually focused on the print itself and lack quality in the material of the shirt itself. I'm glad they didn't skip that part of the shirt this time.



I've got to say, as a first experience with Choies, I was delighted! I've been looking at a lot of their items, they've got a incredibly wide selection,  and I'm sure I would have been just as pleased with any other item I chose. Of course, I'll get the opportunity to confirm that theory since i've already got two more items on the way!
