Theme 46. REVOLVE Outfits. November Looks, Must Haves and new Revolve brands!

Dear Online Girlfriend, the weather is getting colder, which means that we are on the hunt for cozy clothes! It became a little blog tradition for me to share real reviews on clothes I order from Revolve and show how they look in real life VS how they look on models. Last time I shared with you my special date night outfits and today I thought I will show you some of my new must haves for this cold weather season and a couple of new Revolve brands that JUST launched!

MORE TO COME - NEW BRAND ON REVOLVE

Let’s start with a new brand that really surprised me with the quality and price - MORE TO COME . I ordered Tanya lace bodysuit that can be worn out or as a lingerie piece if you are not quite ready for something so revealing in public :) It is getting sold out very quickly as it is very well priced on top of being gorgeous, but I suggest you check out other pieces from More to Come (click here!)

I paired Tanya bodysuit with Liv Midi Skirt that is sold out now, but make sure you get on the list for when it is coming back. It is one of the best skirts I ever had; it goes with EVERYTHING, is flattering and the quality is amazing.

And I also wore House of Harlow 1960 Aiden Boot with my all black REVOLVE look. These black boots are gorgeous and I love the quality of the leather, but be aware that it doesn’t have a zipper. You will have to pull boots off you when you come home, but after couple of times it is quite easy. And I know it is a matter of a preference, but I think boots without a zipper on a side look more sophisticated.

Midi Skirts (with or without a slit) are a great addition to any wardrobe. Just one right skirt can help you create so many different looks for YEARS to come. Make sure you find the right size and fabric. In addition to Liv Midi Skirt I have two faux leather midi skirts from Superdown and I cannot express how great I think this Jezabel Midi Skirt Style is. Highly recommend. I also added a couple of other Midi Skirts worth having! Click on the image to get redirected to the website!

Another brand that just landed on REVOLVE is Revolve Tennis Club that has the cutest sweatshirts, tennis skirts, workout clothes and tshirts. I got Varsity Green cropped sweatshirt and the softest white tennis skort. Check out their other pieces! I think it will quickly become a trendy must have for all the sport events and tennis games.

And while we are on the subject of cute sweatshirts and hoodies, I am in love with this unique Martine corset hoodie.

I have never seen anything like it before, and as a huge period drama and Renaissance Faire fan, I had to have it! Here is the link to the corset hoodie (spooky fairytale vibes on my pictures, right?!) and a couple of other hoodies I like.

I love wearing mini sweater dresses with boots in winter, however I must warn you that short dresses that you order online might not look like you expected. Sometimes the dresses look way shorter. I still love these two dresses (especially the white one!), but I just wanted to be honest about the risky length of certain sweater styles. Click on the pictures below to be redirected to my dresses!

If you have any concerns, you are welcome to DM me on Instagram @uliaali and ask about a style you are interested in.

Theme 46. REVOLVE Outfits. Date Night Looks

Dear Online Girlfriend, here I am again with some new reviews on clothes from our beloved Revolve. Last time I shared with you some of my favorite summer looks, perfect for a vacation, and today I thought I will post some date night/day looks. It is still summer, so we will focus on warm weather outfits, but make sure to check my blog in a month or two for some fall looks!

LBD? How about MBD (Midi Black Dress)?!

Let’s start with this QUEEN of the dresses! This Pagne Midi Dress by h:ours is an absolute show stopper! I have received so many compliments when I wore this dress and I felt incredibly sexy, yet loved how sophisticated and classy this look is at the same time. I think every woman has at least one classic little black dress, but this one shoulder midi dress with a side slit is an absolute must have! The material is thick; it fits PERFECTLY. Please do yourself a favour and go get it before it is sold out!

Here are other black midi dresses that I liked on Revolve:

Teal me more!

We will get to wearing a lot of dark colors and neutral shades in the upcoming fall and winter season, but while it is still hot I really recommend putting on a nice colorful mini dress or a matching set! Whether it is a last summer weekend in the Hamptons, a big labor day party or just a lovely summer date brunch, you will definitely stand out in a dress like THIS! This teal color is so gorgeous and the material of this Superdown dress is very silky and pleasant and overall this draped dress looks luxurious and more expensive than it is (it is only $74!). It comes in three colors.

Tie-Dye till I die

I will be honest with you, dear online girlfriend, I have never been a big tie-dye trend fan. I purposefully avoid it and don’t think I owned any tie-dye pieces until I saw this Krystal Superdown dress. This color is STUNNING and elegant! I already wore this dress so many times that I have to stop recording Instagram Stories in it because it is getting out of hand :) I wore it out with heels for a dinner, I wore it for my real estate Open House with sandals, with cowboy boots, a cropped jacket and a hat for a stroll in the city… It always looks so different! It is simple to just put on, easy to accessorize and the material is silky and feels amazing on my skin. It also hugs my body in all the right places. What not to love?! It is definitely one of my top favorite dresses at the moment and it is only $88. I HIGHLY recommend it!

My white heels are also from Revolve. They are Julie heels by Raye and very comfortable. I like them so much that I ordered them in black color as well!

Silky Smooth

As you can tell, I am a bit obsessed with everything light and silky at the moment. I think an elegant silky blouse or a top is a must have in every woman’s wardrobe, especially in some neutral light shades. When I received Scottie One shoulder top (only $55!) I was pleasantly surprised as the the wrap tie makes the top adjustable and really complements my body. You can tie it as loose or as tight on your waist as you want!

I paired this top with Trinity faux leather skirt, but it also looks great with jeans and white trousers.

Speaking of faux leather skirts, I also have to share one of my top items in wardrobe - this JEZABEL faux leather midi skirt with a slit! If I could have only one item from the whole website, it will be this skirt!

It is sexy, yet appropriate for an office look to! I love it so much that I ordered another black one as a back up and waiting for the Jezebel in nude color to arrive soon as well! Best skirt I ever had! It gets sold out quickly, so do not miss out!

Theme 37: Holidays in California. PrettyMissy Look in Davis, Ca

Ben and I spent Thanksgiving in Davis, California, where his grandparents reside. It was my first time visiting Sacramento area, Napa and San Francisco, and I was amazed how beautifully Fall paints Californian cities with its' orange, yellow and red colors. If you have been following my Instagram Stories, you saw all the details of my Californian adventures, however today I wanted to share some outfit deeds with you.

PrettyMissy is an online boutique that I have recently discovered, and they have a lot of very stylish affordable clothes and holiday dresses. I got a lot of compliments on my PrettyMissy front-lace up sweater in a mustard color that worked surprisingly well with my skin tone and my hair that got so dark without summer sun. The sweater comes in Hunter Green and Oatmeal shade as well so definitely take a look!

The over-the-knee boots I am wearing is another staple item of my FW season looks. They don't only look gorgeous, but they are comfortable, which is very rare for any footwear with an elegant thin heel. I HIGHLY recommend Pour La Victoire boots.

Theme 35: Fall in New York. With Mer-Sea Luxe Collection

Ben and I are living in hotels again!  But you probably already know that if you follow my daily Instagram Stories and watched me try to fit my life into a hotel suite's limited space. The truth is the hotel hopping life is great, but I still need some special little details that help me transform a standard suite into our home.

I have recently discovered Mer-Sea & Co. brand and fell in love with their classy decor elements, lush bathroom products and travel accessories. Their new LUXE COLLECTION is rich and beautiful and is probably one of the most safest gorgeous gifts you can get your girlfriend, mother-in-law or just as a hostess gift to someone.

it became my ritual lighting up Amber Fumée candle every night and using a Mer-Sea Mystique roomspray that smells like a fresh field of grass, light flowers and lemon trees gardens after a rain. The candles and sprays really set up a dreamy mood, and look very chic as decor elements too, thanks to minimalistic luxury design.

Mer-Sea also carries a great range of travel accessories, and considering how often I fly all over the map, it is almost a necessity to have a set of quality functional items for the travels! First of all, I didn't even know how much one travel wrap can get used, but I love my black cotton cashmere wrap. It looks super stylish, it is comfy, it is soft and luxury (hello, it is cashmere!) and I wear it not only on the plane, but out, to a dinner over a dress, and, frankly, I often use it a blanket when I watch Netflix. It really gets much more use than I ever anticipated, so I recommend you to pick at least one travel wrap for yourself. Plus, it folds into a tiny pouch, which is always great as we all hate to stuff our carry-ons till the bursting point.

Second travel accessory I really like from Mer-Sea Luxe Collection is a Passport Clutch. It is also big enough to store couple of credit cards and my ID, and it is very pleasant and as always classy.

I wanted to show you my regular casual airport look, but I didn't want to force Ben or my photographer to shoot at the airport, so I thought I should take my readers to the Central Park, to the lake and to the trees touched by this magical fall. The beauty of classic Mer-Sea luxury items was really accentuated, in my opinion, by warm fall colors and I hope these pictures will give you a happy tingly feeling.

Theme 32: Boho Chic. Festival Vibes in the City

For a while I wanted to get a long cardigan, but couldn't find what I really liked. Luckily I received this absolutely beautiful long knitted crochet cardigan from California Moonrise, and I am embarrassed to say that I wear it pretty much every day with everything now!

Pictures on their website doesn't even give it a justice. The cardigan is very comfy, but stylish and can be as easily worn with shorts and jeans as with a swimsuit or as a warm throw at home. Recently I have been writing in outdoors cafes a lot, and because it is still chilly in New York, I love throwing this cardigan over basic tops and tshirts. 

For this look, shot by my favorite NYC Photographer Dennis, I styled California Moonrise cardigan with white jeans, silky top with lacey details, added some black accessories and of course wore my cowboy hat that I seem to not take off since Coachella :)
