♥Sponsored Review → Little Black Bow♥

 
Hello everybunny!♥ I hope your week is going well.♥ I feel like I should be happier about the cold weather, considering how much I was wishing for colder weather back in summer. >< Today I'm very happy to bring you a review for Little Black Bow by Brooklyn Bow, who very kindly sent me a pair of shoe bows to review!♪ Little Black Bow sells beautiful handmade bows that clip onto shoes!♥ They're so pretty & dainty, but I'll show you more in the review.^^♪

♥Unboxing♥

 
The package arrived safely in a plastic bag.♪ It arrived to me very quickly because it was shipped within the UK.^^

 
Inside was a cute brown envelope!

 It had a cute LBB logo on the back.^^

 
Inside was a cute little box wrapped in bubble wrap to keep it extra safe!♥ It was safely & securely packaged.^^

 
I love the box! ; 7 ;♥ It's so cute, and it has a touch of glamour too.♪

 
Inside was a pretty card featuring the bows that I was sent & a kind note!♥♥

 
Underneath the paper were the bows!♥ They're so so pretty ;; v ;;♥

  
♥The Bows & Styling Ideas♥

 
The bows are absolutely gorgeous!♥ I love how they're satiny with a layer of organza ribbon.♥ The ribbons are sturdy and fairly thick, meaning that they don't flop and they stay nicely in shape. I also love the very simple but pretty design! When I saw them I was really excited to add them to shoes to add a cute & pretty touch.♥

 
The clips are securely sewn to the ribbons, they're not wobbly.^^ The bows are also neat at the back as well as at the front.♪

 
I love the little LBB tags on the back!♥ I think it's great when brands add these touches to their products.♪

 
There's also a little heart!♥

 
They add a really pretty touch to my plain burgundy heels.♥ I love cute bow heels, but it's fairly difficult to find the, but with bow clips I can turn a plain pair of heels into something cuter.^^♪

 
Bow closeup.♥ You can see these shoes & bows in one of my outfits below!

 
Beige & black are a pretty and vintage style colour scheme, and as these heels are fairly plain like the first pair, I really wanted to try the bows on these too!♥

Here I added them to the ankle straps! I put an outfit together with these shoes & bows below.^^♥

 
The bows are also really cute on the toes too!♪

 

 
 I tried them out on my rocking horse shoes too!♪ They'd be really cute with a pastel goth outfit, since they add the pop of black over the pastel colour.♥ I think they'd be cute with an ouji style outfit as well.♪

Hair bow → Liz Lisa
Wig → Lockshop
Shoes → offbrand

I recently bought this black wig for a costume, but I wanted to style it to match the new bows!♥ My wardrobe very much lacks black pieces, but I think the pops of dark colour go nicely with the overall cream tones.^^♪ I wanted to make the outfit really doll-like with lots of bows, and the Ella bows have the perfect amount of daintiness!♥

 Bow triplets!♥ I'm glad I put the bows with a beige outfit, I really like it.^^♥ Plus, they work with the bow pattern along the bottom of the skirt and the bow details on the blazer!♪ They make the shoes more interesting & pretty too, so the lower part of the outfit isn't left looking plain.^^ They're really good for toned down outfits, if you want to have a cute touch on something that's more smart/dressy.♪


 

Thank you so much for reading!♥ And a super big thank you to Little Black Bow for sending me the lovely shoe bows to review!♥♥ I hope you enjoyed the review & outfits, please don't forget to check out Little Black Bow.^^ There will be more outfit posts & haul posts coming soon!♥

Have a lovely day & dreamy night.♥ Take care.♥

♥Autumnal/Wintery Looks feat. DreamV Dear My Love♥

Hello everybunny!♥ Lots of people are getting excited for Christmas, but that sort of thing kind of bores me haha, I'm more excited for the New Year (fireworks!) & lucky packs!♪ Also, recently I started listening to a band called Moulettes, they're music is really beautiful! I recommend them.♪ The other month I realised I didn't actually have a decent winter coat, so decided to buy a couple from DreamV. I also picked up a cute sweater and fluffy boots.^^ I hope you like the outfits.♥

 ♥Warm Outfits♥

♥Rundown♥

Coat, boots → DreamV (Dear My Love)
Top, skirt, tights → Bobon21
Duffy Bear Bag → Tokyo DisneySea
Necklace, headband, hat → offbrand

The coat was pretty cheap, so I wasn't expecting it to be really super duper, but it's so soft and cosy and well-made!♥ I'm so glad I bought it. ; v ; The fur collar is removable and it has decent sized pockets! Pockets! Hooray!♪♪  The shoes are really nice too! The bow straps on them are removable, but I prefer having them on the boots.^^ I decided on a neutral colour coat since I've bought quite a few things that would match it recently, plus it matches my Duffy & Shellie May bags.♥

 
It doesn't have much poof room when buttoned up, so I'd save this for not-so poofy skirts, and skinny jeans and such.♪

Recently I also bought a cloche hat!♥ I've been wanting one for a while but it's quite hard to find one in a colour that matches pieces that I have.. ;; v ;; I'm glad I found one to match my coat!♥


 
♥Rundown♥ 

Sweater → DreamV (Dear My Love)
Blouse → Bodyline
Skirt, tights → Bobon21
Shoes, headband → offbrand 

I bought this sweater but then suddenly wondered what I could wear it with... I should have considered it more before I added it to the order, but it goes really well with this blouse & skirt!♥ It's also quite nice over some burgundy skinny jeans that I recently bought.♪

Coat → DreamV (Dear My Love)
Top, skirt, headband, tights → Bobon21
Shoes → Bodyline
MyMelo bag → Tofu Cute
Necklace → offbrand

I needed a pink coat to match my menagerie of pink clothes, and spotted this!♥ I really love that only fastening one or two buttons gives it lapels.♪ It has a little more room for poofy skirts than the last coat, but I don't think it's quite long enough to accommodate something like lolita. I should really get a jacket for my lolita clothes, but I don't think I wear them enough to justify a purchase like that.. ; v ;'' The sleeves are really baggy, so it has a sort of poncho shape without being a poncho.♪ The only drawback is that my arms can get a bit cold if I'm wearing something short sleeved underneath haha..;;

 
More pockets!♥ Like the other coat's pockets, these are a good size too.♪ They can comfortably fit my iPhone 6.^^

 
It's really cute buttoned up fully, too!♥ The faux fur collar is really cosy, and also removable.♪ If you're looking for a fairly inexpensive & cute coat, I suggect you check out DreamV.^^ As cute as places like Liz Lisa, Ank Rouge and Angelic Pretty are, they coats are much much more expensive. ;; - ;;''

  
Thank you for reading!♥ I hope you'll stay warm this winter.♪ Remember that vitamin c is good for fighting colds! :D Next week I'll be posting my most recent Bobon21 haul & outfits, along with a sponsored review from a lovely handmade store, I'm really excited!♥♥

Wishing you a peaceful winter weekend & week!♪♥

Love, Eliza♥
