Eshakti Dress Review (Carrie)

Hey Guys!

So a couple of years ago I was able to team up with Eshakti, ( a online fashion company that allows you to customize clothing to fit YOU). Another person said it like this "Every style has options for customization of neckline, hemline, and sleeve length so you no longer need to dismiss a cute dress because it doesn't have the details that are most flattering on you."

You can read my review from way back then here.

I reached out to Eshakti and they asked me to review another one of their items. I had a hard time deciding which one to review, but with some help from sisters I decided on the Tie Front Knit Dress in Navy and got it customized to my measurements. I kept the style the same, and did below the knee length.  AND IT HAS POCKETS!!! BIG POCKETS!

I received my dress within 2? weeks (It was really fast, but I don't remember exactly how long it took to get here).

The knit fabric is phenominal. Amazing quality and I am super happy with this dress!
Overall, my experience with Eshakti was really good and I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

Camera Bag Review (Carrie) Jo Totes

Hey Guys! Carrie here! I am the photographer in the family and as I recently (as in many months ago) upgraded my equipment, sold my old camera, lenses, and bag, I needed to replace my trusty equipment with something else.
I looked at quite a few options, as I wanted something durable and hardy, but yet something that looked more "purse-like" in its appearance. My friend purchased a bag from JoTotes and I really liked it! It was big enough to store a bunch of equipment, but not like carrying a suitcase. :)
I also checked out some bags by Kelly Moore, which look great, but aren't QUITE in my budget.
So, after a whole bunch of research and a SALE, which was awesome, I purchased my Gracie in Black camera bag from Jo Totes. I liked both the Butterscotch and the Black, but decided as I am hoping to do more weddings in the future to go with the Black.

I love this bag! It fits all my lenses and my camera body, as well as batteries and charger etc.

Even though it is made in China, the feel and quality is very sturdy. I will see how it holds up int eh long run, but for now it seems to work well.

In the pictures and on their website, the bag looks fairly small, but its actually quite spacious.

Curlformers-Olivia


Hola a todos! (Hello everyone) Today we got some curlers called Curlformers.

Do they look pretty crazy?
We didn't get that many, but as a birthday gift for Carrie we got some to try out.
We ended up trying them out on my younger sister, but we haven't taken them out yet! :)

Pictures taken by me :) Except for the more professional-looking ones. Those ones were from Google. :)

 The final result- we had to put in some other curlers because we only had six curlformers, and more hair. :D
At first it was a little hard to find out how to put the curlformers in, but we after a little bit, it was figured out. We got the extra-long and wide ones. They have different sizes such as long and narrow, for a more tight curl. If you do get these, I would suggest to look on Amazon. They may have better deals for more curlers. Oh, and we had to buy the hook separately.

Thrift Store find: cute yellow dress review- Olivia

Hey all!
A while ago, back in July actually (or was it June?) any way, we were trying to figure out what I could where to my cousin's wedding. My sister happened to find this dress at a thrift store, so I tried it on, and what do you know. It fit! :)

This dress is a comfortable fit. The fabric they used is not itchy or uncomfortable. It is a nice yellow, not too bright, but it also works with my hair color. ;)
I like to pair it with a jean jacket usually, but to give it more of a classy look, we paired it with a white/ creamy cardigan and heels.
I would rate this dress 9/10/10

Heels: Sister borrow
Dress: Thrift store find
Cardigan: my own... I don't really know where we got it
