I am passionate about fashion and beauty + have an unhealthy addiction to online shopping!
I have a YouTube channel where I give honest reviews about fashion, beauty and makeup products! I also make videos on fashion lookbooks and makeup looks if you ever need inspiration ;) https://www.youtube.com/hoodedeyess/
I love shopping clothes, makeup and skincare + creating different outfits and makeup looks!
I loved shopping from Babyboo! They have a huge selection of really cute and aesthetic clothes, perfect for going out on more dressy occasions. The quality is amazing, and the dress I got was sooo sparkly. Shipping was really fast, and everything about shopping at Babyboo was great.
The real real is a great place to buy and sell authentic designer items. Each item is verified by a professional team to ensure its authenticity. Prices are also often quite reduced. There are a lot of additional costs such as shipping, taxes and gst that piles on top, so make sure you look out for sales!
Vestiaire Collective is a great place to buy/sell 2nd hand designer items. You're able to negotiate the price with the seller, which is great. However, you always end up paying much more than shown especially if shipping is from a different country, due to expensive shipping rates and import taxes.
TIJN has really cute and affordable glasses! Their frames are very lightweight and have great quality - all their glasses are very aesthetic. Packaging is really cute, would definitely recommend you purchase from them!
Tube Buddy is a tool that helps you with SEO keywords on YouTube, allowing you to rank higher and be pushed out by the algorithm. It's really useful for small content creators, and not too pricey as well!
Such a great collection of TV shows and Movies - I love that you can also download them to watch offline, and everything comes with subtitles too! You're able to access a wide variety of shows and movies for around $10-$15 a month depending on your subscription, which honestly is such a bargain.
YouTube has such a wide variety of videos to watch, and always pushes out related content for you to continue watching! Sometimes ads can be a bit too long, especially the unskippable ones, but usually its not a big thing and purchasing premium is always an option.
I love using spotify as it has such a wide range of music! I have the premium version, which eliminates ads and has unlimited skips. You are able to listen to other people's public playlist, or create your own, which is perfect!
I loved shopping at Petal and Pup! Their clothes all have a very elegant and refined design, perfect for work outfits or sunday morning brunch! Their clothes come beautifully packaged in a small cloth bag and a note, which gives a nice personalised touch to it. Shipping was also quite fast! Watch my video for a full, in-depth review of Petal and Pup!
Huge selection of products at very cheap prices! I find that Kmart does tend to be slightly cheaper than Target with similar quality, so I generally shop at Kmart more. In saying that, Target does have some super cute stuff as well!
I absolutely LOVE zara clothes! They have such amazing, trendy, chic designs. The quality of clothes is also amazing for its price. I prefer shopping in store as compared to online as sometimes it's hard to see what the clothes look like online with the way the models are standing.
Meshki is my go-to for extravagant cocktail wear with the wow factor! All their dresses are beautifully designed, although sometimes fit me a little weird as I'm not as curvy as the models - nothing a few stitches can't fix! The quality is amazing <3 I haven't had a chance to try out their basic/loungewear range, but am very keen to! I find that their clothes are quite reasonably priced - a little more expensive than typical fast fashion brands, but you get a better quality product so it justifies!
I absolutely loved shopping from Calvin Klein! They have such a great range of loungewear, sportswear and intimates. All their clothing are super comfortable to wear, have great quality, and are decently priced. I was also pleasantly surprised at how nice their bags are!
Shekou is a New-Zealand based "Instagram trendy" store that sells a lot of on-trend female clothing. Although they don't have a huge selection of clothes, all of their clothing designs are super cute and flirty. Despite liking their clothing designs, I did have some problems with their website design and shipping. Watch my video below to find out my full thoughts on SHEKOU!
Tip for consumers:
The sales are all fake!!

Kmart is straight up my favourite place to shop at. They have almost everything - clothes, shoes, homeware, kitchen appliances, toys, etc. Their pricing is great too, most things are under $20. I generally find that their products also have great quality - if not, returns are free if the product is faulty. All you have to do is take it in-store with proof of purchase! Everything in Kmart is sooooo aesthetic, and I always end up buying more things that I orginially intended to :)
Muji sells a wide variety of things - from clothes to acrylic storage containers to stationary and lunchboxes. Everything has a minimal aesthetic which I love, and have great quality too! Pricing is a bit expensive compared to Daiso. They also have their own skincare line which I am eager to try out.
I absolutely love Nike designs! Their logo is very minimal which I love, and doesn't take up too much attention on the design of their clothes. Their shoes are so comfortable and durable - mine has lasted for years, and still feels like I'm walking on a cloud. I would 100% recommend purchasing from Nike!
Great selection of sports clothing! Everything is high quality, and clothing designs are both cute and functional. Especially love how breathable some of their gym tops are! They also have quite nice backpacks that can be used on an everyday basis, and are sturdy + spacious
Peppermayo is an online clothing website mainly selling fashionable basic pieces and targeted towards the teenage/young adult female population. Their clothes are very stylish, and often place a twist on classic "basic" styles to spice up the outfit design. Although their prices are generally higher compared to fast fashion websites, their clothes have great quality and fit really well on me. Shipping times were also very fast - overall, a great shopping experience! Watch my video below for a more in-depth review of Peppermayo!
The Iconic is an Australian/New Zealand online shop that retails a large variety of fashion pieces! Watch my YouTube video for a full review of their website and my shopping experience <3
