Moon Cats Scarf Review

As someone who prefers the colder seasons, I consider scarves one of my favourite accessories; they complete an outfit while stylishly adding warmth. For this reason I am very excited to have the chance to review the beautiful scarf in the photo above from Moon Cats, a company that sells high quality yet affordable fashion scarves.

Located in New York’s Fashion District, Moon Cats features a large range of trendy scarf styles including elegant square scarves, warm oblong scarves, wraps and oversize scarves, trendy light weight scarves for all seasons, lovely infinity scarves, and even some styles for men. Most scarves cost around $39.95 but you can get 20% off until December 22 with the code BEAUTYWRITER20OFF. The company offers free shipping to the USA and ships its products worldwide as well.   

The scarf that I had the opportunity to try is the Oblong Lightweight Scarf in Almond Milk. Before I talk about the scarf itself, let’s take a look at the beautiful packaging. The scarf arrived in a sturdy box and was wrapped in red paper and sealed with a Moon Cats label. The box also contained a very thoughtful handwritten thank-you note from the company. As a cat lover, just seeing the label made me smile. I also really appreciate the care and consideration that the company put into packaging the scarf and personalizing the note. 

The scarf itself is a rich, creamy beige shade that complements many different outfits. It’s made of high quality fabric containing 30% silk and 70% pashmina. The fabric feels silky and luxurious and looks very soft in person. It feels nice against my skin and sits nicely over my coat or clothing regardless of how I wrap it. I have received many compliments on the scarf so far, and some people have asked if they could touch it because of its softness. It comes in other pretty shades as well including Peach Melba, Strawberry Field, Candied Plum, Blueberry Pie, Pepper & Salt, and Liquorice Root. All of these shades are perfect for the holidays.

As you can see from the close up pictures below, the scarf is very well constructed and the fabric is of high quality.  

Aside from this scarf, there are a few others that I have on my wishlist including the Infinity Circle Scarf in Cloudy Sky (a beautiful shade of sky grey), the Oblong Winter Scarf in French Couture (an elegant plaid), the Oblong Lightweight Scarf in Peach Melba (a pretty pop of peach), and the Oblong Winter Scarf in Glowing Future (a beautiful yet classy wash of shimmer to brighten up cloudy winter days). For men, I’m loving the Camel Black Scarf and the Vintage Scottish Scarf.

Overall, I highly recommend Moon Cats. The company shows a lot of care and enthusiasm for its products which is very important in my opinion. Also, the scarves are trendy, made of high quality fabric, and affordable. Not to mention, they are a great holiday gift idea!

Clothingloves.net Review


Back in April, I wrote a blog post about a online store called clothingloves.net that offers affordable and fashionable clothing and accessories, including wedding dresses, women’s blouses, ladies’ fashion, and more (read the post HERE). The company had contacted me and asked me to tell my followers about the site and the type of items that it sells. While browsing the site before writing my post, a few dresses caught my eye and I decided to order one so that I could provide you with a full, honest review of my purchase.
The item that I ordered is the Pleated Chiffon Round Neck Dress (Check it out HERE). It was only $12.71 plus $5.75 shipping to my country. I ordered it in a size small which seems to fit much like a size small from Forever 21 (a good fit with a bit of extra room in the chest for me). I’m average height and the bottom of the dress hits about an inch above my knee. The fabric is a beautiful chiffon in a sea foam/mint green shade. I find that this type of fabric does not wrinkle easily. I have not washed it yet so I don’t know how smoothly it dries.  The dress is lined so it is not see-through. It comes with a nice waist tie that makes the dress look more finished. I like to wear it with nude or light pink pumps. The dress is very light weight and I feel effortlessly classy when wearing it.

Shortly after the dress arrived in the mail, I received another package, a little box of earrings, from Summer who works for clothingloves.net. She sent them to me as a thank-you for my previous blog post. The White Snowflake Earrings (see them HERE) came packaged in a cute red box with a bow. Despite the numerous pretty rhinestones in these earrings, they feel very light on the ears and have sturdy posts and comfortable backs. I can’t wait to wear them this winter!
 
Overall, I’m very impressed with the items that I received from clothingloves.net and I will not hesitate to purchase from this site again.
