Dresslink Honest Review (Wishlist)

My wishlist items were finally in my mailbox on Christmas Eve!
I was super excited since I have never directly ordered clothing from a supplier in China before. (These items were given to me by Dresslink)
It took roughly almost a month to recieve my 2 items.
Upon opening the first item I noticed an odd chemical smell coming from the package. Wasn't sure from which of the 2 at first the smell was coming from. Upon inspection it came from the motorcycle Leather (faux) Jacket. Strange. Almost like a gasoline smell. Had to be the dying process that they use.
I took the Leather Jacket out first, it was neatly packaged in the bubble wrapped envelope it came in.
My first impression was seeing the zipper on the jacket is gold.
I hate gold or any metal plated gold colored items. And the metal buttons that adorn the flaps are silver?
I tried it on and was super glad I got it in size xxL. I normally wear size medium in woman's and Large in juniors.


Dresslink sizes are super tiny, had I picked smaller it would not have fit me at all.
As other reviewers have mentioned on Dresslink's site, this leather jacket is quite thin. Maybe not paper thin but it probably wouldn't keep you warm on a cold night.
The style was a little disappointing when it's zippered because you can see the difference in the color of the mismatched metals. And the cut isn't very flattering if your top heavy. The length is a bit short, so definitely not for someone tall.

However, if I do wear it I will leave it open.
As for my 2nd wish item, the polka dotted blouse, was a little too big on the shoulders. I picked it out in XL and surprisingly it did run true to US sizing. It's too big on me (I'm a medium). Mostly noticeable on the sleeves but the length is nice. It came in a fabric zippered pouch inside the bubble wrapped envelope.

Tried it on as well. It's super cute but I had to pin the sleeves to shorten them. Overall still wearable and cute!

Final verdict- Would I shop from DressLink personally myself with my own money?
Yes, I will.
Prices are super affordable, but it is a hit or miss on sizing. And as long as you don't mind the month long waiting period, it's an ok site to shop from. With that being said don't expect top quality for your buck. It's not designer name brand quality.
If you do consider buying you'll be spending a portion of what a mall chain store charges you for similar clothes and you can actually afford alot more items on Dresslink.
Tip- Their shipping is based on weight. The lighter the item the cheaper shipping will cost.
Those are some of the factors to weigh in on.

Shopping On a Budget DRESSLINK

Shopping on a budget with an edge?
Recently I was contacted to do a wishlist for DressLink. It is an online shopping website with some of the best trends happening right now.
They sell everything from accessories, clothing, to even shoes. They have it all.
The best part is that their items are very inexpensive. A fraction of the price than a mall store that carries similar garments.
All sizes on their site are Asian sized so I do recommend that you go up 2 sizes from what you would normally buy.
Also, something else to note is that shipping is based on weight. Meaning the lighter the item the cheaper your items will be to ship. On that note from reading on their site items take anywhere from two weeks to a month to arrive at your door steps, which is expected since it's being shipped from China.
Here are some of the items I really liked that I feel are timeless and edgy.
My first pick is this black leather jacket. Slick enough for a day to night look. (Both pictures are owned by dresslink)

Here's the link to this if your interested in checking it out.

My first wishlist item. Leather Jacket.

My last choice was this cute sheer polka dotted top. Great for either cool weather or warm depending on the layering.


Here's the link for this top.


My second wishlist item. Sheer polka dotted top.

Will be updating with a review of items, and pictures soon.

BLACKHEART Review! Haul Coming Soon!

The Brea mall has the first BLACKHEART store, at least that's what the salesgirl told me, owned by Hot Topic. Like TORRID all three stores have a different customer in mind that they target. BLACKHEART isn't anything new on the market, if anything it's the way Hot Topic used to be back in the 90's.
If anyone remembers that far back that's when goth was still referred to as Gothic and shopping there wasn't mainstream at all.
I remember those times fondly because I was a teen of the 90's and hated grunge. Being somewhat gothicly inclined was the only thing that I gravitated towards back then that made me feel like I was a little different than my peers and how I could express myself. Yup, sounds like any other typical teen sob story "trying" to be different. Lol.
Anyways, this is a review of the actual store! Onwards!
As soon as you walk in the lights are dim. Everythings black, sleek, and modern. Rock music is playing. Theres a slight musky smell to the store. Your greeted by friendly, good looking gals. They of course are dressed to the T in all black apparel themselves. They tell me the specials and then went on with their stocking clothes and chit chatting amongst themselves.
The store itself is about medium size with good space in between each aisle that allows you room to walk around freely. They carry chick clothes only. Sorry guys, I guess your left out on this one.
I got myself quite a lot of clothes that I wanted to try on and one worker noticed right away and started up a fitting room for me. Very helpful considering I had my 3 year old with me.
The fitting rooms are big with large floor to ceiling mirrors. Plenty of hook hangers to put your clothes on.
After my happy hour of shopping I got everything to the counter and paid.
I really like this store and see myself coming here very often. And yes they do sale more then just lingerie! Check out their clearance sale!
