Recently, I attended Hyper Japan, the UK's biggest J-culture and anime convention (and it's seriously worth going to, if you've got a pair of comfortable shoes). There was, as you can imagine, plenty to do and to see - and in the way of geek fashion, it was heaven. It's where I fell head over … [Read more...]
Shop of the Week: Bouf
Buying from independent sellers is often a more enjoyable experience than buying from a larger company. The customer service tends to be more tailored to the individual, a little more care goes into the sale and independent sellers are often happy to go the extra mile. It's generally a nicer … [Read more...]
Shop of the Week: Shoes of Prey
Customised fashion services are not a particularly new innovation. In fact, we mentioned a few a while ago in our round-up of the best ways to customise your life. But there's still room for a few new sites to pop up and give the more established sites a run for their money. Shoes of Prey offers … [Read more...]
Shop of the week: Nigel’s Eco Store
Here at Dork Adore, we're passionate about eco-friendly products and green living. Gadgets are good and well, but eco-friendly tech really ticks all the boxes. Sadly, it's still quite tricky to find a decent range of eco-friendly products. Which is why we're charmed by Nigel's Eco Store. Not only … [Read more...]
Shop of the Week: My Wardrobe
The things I do for your people. This week, I spend hours browsing through My Wardrobe for the best pieces. What a chore*. For those that haven't heard of My Wardrobe, it's an online boutique full of the hottest designer pieces, often shortly after they've come off the catwalks of London, Paris, … [Read more...]
Shop of the week: Payumi
Something a little bit different this week. It's all about collecting money rather than spending it. Last year, I organised my sister's hen do, and spent ages chasing and collecting money from those who were attending. I'm sure some of you have had to do the same, and will understand how much of … [Read more...]
Shop of the week: Escentual.com
We may be geeks here at Dork Adore, but that doesn't mean we don't know the importance of a good pair of hair tongs, or indulge in some beauty buying on a regular basis (especially beauty gadgets). We're a bunch of chic geeks, after all. But time is tight. Personally, I don't have the patience … [Read more...]
Shop of the week: Casabu. Discounted designer baby gear
Up until a couple of years ago, I generally ignored or resented the existence of children. But then my cousins and friends started having kids. And my best friend asked me to be godmother to her (ridiculously adorable) son. Now I can't walk past a toy shop without indulging in a spend for the … [Read more...]
Shop of the week: Fab UK
Shopping online is fun. Do it in your PJs, do it on the commute to work, and do it when you're drunk (it's like a present to your sober self in a couple of days time). Shopping offline is not fun; you have to wear actual clothes. And deal with people inyourface. And queue for things. And – in … [Read more...]
JoyofClothes.com: The key to stress-free shopping?
Clothes shopping online has so many advantages to its real life equivalent. It's often cheaper, faster and no one seems to mind if you do it whilst wearing a pair of cow print pyjamas. Unfortunately, online shopping tends to lead to some of us *cough* taking on a slightly skewed view of their … [Read more...]
