Hi, I’m Elise. I browse AliExpress way too often and love writing about little things that surprised me — in a good way. No fluff, just honest impressions from a curious girl with a blog.
I’m Elise, and this little blog is where I keep track of my favorite AliExpress finds — the curious, the useful, and the unexpectedly lovely.
I started it just for fun, after realizing how often I tell friends about some random thing I ordered and ended up really liking.
Everything I write here is based on what I’ve actually bought and tried. No big promises, no polished promos — just honest thoughts from someone who enjoys discovering odd little gems online.
Thanks for reading and being curious along with me.

Here’s what I’ve tried lately — the fun, the useful, and the totally unexpected. I write these right after unboxing (and sometimes after a week of using), so everything’s fresh and honest. Just me, sharing what I actually liked.
May 24, 2025
A soft, breezy romper that feels like linen but doesn’t wrinkle like it. Comfy, polished, and easy to style for warm days.
May 29, 2025
A breezy short-sleeve button-up blouse with soft checks and a cute contrast pocket. Light, relaxed, and easy to wear anywhere.
May 30, 2025
A bold, sunshine-yellow blazer with oversized sleeves and a cinched waist. Light, structured, and just the right amount of dramatic.

A vintage-style pinup dress with a romantic red rose print, off-shoulder neckline, and beautifully full twirl-worthy skirt.

I’ve got a few fun things on the way — one made me laugh out loud, one totally surprised me, and one I might never take off. Stay tuned, I’m writing everything up now!

Sometimes I write quick notes while unpacking, trying stuff on, or just thinking about how weirdly fun this blog is. Nothing polished — just tiny thoughts I wanted to share.

Some pieces I ordered finally made it to my door — and I’m already trying them on, testing, and figuring out what works. Here’s what’s sitting on my chair (and my mind) right now.
This cropped khaki coat feels like something I’ll wear on repeat — can’t wait to see how it works with jeans and wide-leg trousers.
The pink oversized tee arrived and it’s giving me full comfy-energy. I’m already planning to wear it three days in a row.
I wasn’t sure about ordering this two-piece, but now I’m kind of obsessed with the soft stripes and how light the fabric feels.
This floral dress looks like it walked straight out of a vacation daydream — trying it with sandals and messy hair very soon.

Yes, I really do. Everything I post here has been in my hands, on my body, or at least hanging awkwardly on a chair while I figure out if I like it. This blog is basically my AliExpress diary, nothing more curated than that.
Honestly? It’s super random. Sometimes I see something and just feel like I need to know what it’s like in real life. Other times it’s because I want to fill a gap in my wardrobe (or my imagination). If it makes me curious, it usually ends up on the blog.
Rarely. Returning stuff to AliExpress is kind of a process, so if something doesn’t work out, I usually give it away or keep it for “experimental styling” (aka trying it on in weird combinations and laughing). Only really big fails get returned.
Most things take around 2–4 weeks to get to me, sometimes faster, sometimes not. I always forget I ordered something — and then it's like a surprise gift from Past Me. Best feeling.
It’s happened. A few times. If it’s wearable, I try to make it work and write about what to expect. If it’s really off, I just share that in the post and call it what it is. No pretending here.
Definitely just figuring things out. I have no background in fashion — just a soft spot for clothes that make me smile (or confuse me in a fun way). This blog is me learning out loud, basically.
I’m Elise, and I started this blog about a month ago with zero grand plans — just a curious heart and a slightly overflowing AliExpress cart. I wanted a place to share the things I actually buy, wear, and use. Not to promote anything or chase trends, but just to talk about what feels fun, comfy, surprising, or simply too odd not to mention.
Every post here comes from real experience — sometimes good, sometimes weird, but always honest. It's a little corner of the internet where I can write the way I think and share the joy (and occasional confusion) of trying things out.
