Romwe Online Shopping Review 

19/06/2017

Third up in my fashion review series is the global brand Romwe.
I’ve heard mixed reviews about them so wanted to see what they were like for myself. As it’s still a couple of weeks until payday I didn’t want to spend over £25 – girl gotta live and save for a wedding here!
On first impressions, I liked that they were offering discount codes to new customers, so registered to get my 60% off code.

Unfortunately you needed to spend £22.96 to qualify for the discount and with the added cost of shipping (which was a tad on the pricier side), I wasn’t prepared to do that – bit of a let down, but we’ll continue!

As per my last review on Miss Bella, they get a thumbs up for having PayPal as a payment option, there was also an option to add shipping insurance – I thought this was odd but assumed that as it’s coming from abroad, this would be sensible to add.
I was impressed by the selection and prices of the items, but ended up adding the 3 following bits into my cart;


So I ordered on the 6th of June and my parcel arrived on the 13th so a week to arrive – not too bad!
So what arrived? 

  • A black playsuit – I hate this. The quality of fabric is awful and doesn’t look like it does on the website at all. For £8.79 I’m not going to bother returning it, but that was a fail and definite fashion faux pas! Aaron said it looked like a bin bag and you know what? I have to agree!

  • A straw hat – I’m in love with this and how it’s super Instagrammable! It’s not too bad quality and looked like it did on the website – definite winner!

  • White t-shirt with NOPE on it – this was another win and I’m in love! Unfortunately I ended up getting blood on it from a scratch on my ribs 🙄😩 but that’s fine! Very on trend, reasonably priced and not bad quality either – we’ll just have to see how it washes 😉


Overall I’m 50/50 on Romwe, the playsuit totally ruined it for me and has kind of put me off ordering again!
Make sure to check out my latest First Impression/Unboxing video on my channel below!

Let me know what you think and about your experiences with Romwe and whether you’re enjoying this fashion review series as much as I’m enjoying writing them!
Until next time…

    These reviews are absolutely amazing as I am so nervous to buy from some of these websites. What a shame about the playsuit?! The top and the hat are super cute though! xx

    I’m always down for a discount! I’d be wary though, in terms of does the item look like what it’ll really look like on.. 💜

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
