Theme 46. REVOLVE Outfits. Dresses for a Date and Summer Trips to Europe

Revolve Dresses on blogger Ulia Ali vs on models. Honest review on outfits for wedding and date night

Dear Online Girlfriend, every time I shop online I have no idea if I will look as good as the models pictured. Previously I shared a few articles with my reviews with side to side photos of me and the beautiful models (click here to access all honest Revolve reviews). After years of ordering from REVOLVE, I learnt what fabrics and cuts suits me the best and which styles I probably should avoid (those mini sweater dresses? Most of the time are too short on me, which I demonstrated in previous posts. Bear in mind, I am only 5’ 5” = 165 cm! ).

Right now, we are in the heat of the summer season and if lucky, vacations and trips to Europe. The outfits I am about to review will be perfect for all your hot weather and early fall romantic getaways, girls trips and date nights (and days). So get comfortable and plunge into this detailed photo review that I hope will help you shop and look even more dazzling.

And if you have any questions please DM me on Instagram @uliaali . It makes me tremendously happy when I get to connect with you, girls and feel useful.

Let us begin!

Lpa Bambina vintage style polka dot brown dress

Vintage Romance

Pack this perfect vintage style brown polka dot dress on a getaway to Italy or for a sumptuous al-fresco dinner date in your city.

I have been eyeing this vintage-style LPA polka dot dress for a bit, and when I finally put it on I immediately felt that this is the dress I will not get bored of for many many years!



It slightly reminds of the iconic Pretty Woman look, the one Julia Roberts wore for a polo match, and has a flattering cut that makes your waist look tiny. It is easy to adjust how tight you want your waistline to be snatched by the tie.

It is a bit on pricey side, but looks so chic and timeless that it will serve for a long time.

Buy it here before it sells out again!






Speaking of polka dots, I finally succumbed and got another bestselling Majorelle Brady Dress, and it looked better than I imagined!

While this sexy tube dress with a slit is flattering, there is a way less room to “breathe”. There is no zipper or buttons, so prepare to squeeze into the dress.

I wore it on my vacation on Mexico City. I also think it will be a wonderful addition in a wardrobe of a bride, whether for a honeymoon, bridal shower or bachelorette parties.

Other Polka Dot styles I love are below. I actually have the Bellah Mini dress and so happy to see it back in stock. Hands down one of my MOST worn summer mini dresses. Easy to put on, not to short and looks very pretty. I am giving it 10/10!

This Harmony dress by h:ours is definitely a risque choice, but it is a KILLER look for a sexy date with your man or a night out with friends if you are feeling daring.

The top part sits a bit higher than I wished for, but overall it is an amazingly seductive twist on a little black dress.

Floral Beauty

If you are ever looking for a high quality, beautiful, feminine, romantic dresses, I suggest you check out Hemant and Nandita brand.

I LOVE their dresses and I find them a very classy choice for a summer wedding.

I wore this dress on my trip to Cartagena, Columbia, and it is a available in a slightly different print: Veena Dress

All other Heman & Nandita styles HERE.

Michael Costello Set

I love a good two-piece set as you can wear them together and separately. The quality of this Costello set is good and it comes in a few colors (I love my green one, but the black one is a classic too).

Midi Skirt HERE

Top HERE

This is another original two-piece dress that is sexy, yet classy at the same time. It is sold together and, GOOD NEWS, it is now on major sale!

Lovers & Friends Midi Dress

I love wearing the navy top separately and it looks very stylish with white linen pants or classic denim jeans. Such a great find!




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 36: Holiday Season. 70s Party Vibes with Revolve

Holiday season is approaching and we all are on a lookout for perfect gifts and beautiful outfits. Of course sparkling embellished dresses for New Years Eve parties and cozy sweaters for Christmas dinners are not going anywhere, but 70s style is making a huge comeback this season!

Revolve has always been one of the websites where I go to to find new cool designer pieces and the trendiest of outfits, and Clayton collection really caught my eye. I picked this stunning, but soft and comfortable Clement jumpsuit that is as perfect for a glam party as it is for a vacation in warmer places. Please bare in mind that the jumpsuit is quite tall, so either wear heels or prepare to get it shortened (or maybe you are actually above 6', so this is made for you and I congratulate you on your endless legs!)
