Good Golly Miss Holly!




If you know me personally, you will know I am not a fan of shopping in store. I hate it with a passion. I hate going into a shop: finding an item of clothing I love, only to realise they don't have any left it in my size. Which is a common occurrence when you're as tiny as I am. I hate the long searching through racks, and then having to pull an item off shelf to get a better view of it (only to discover you still have absolutely no idea what it would look like on.) If I'm honest I also hate how overly happy (and pushy) some shop attendants can be. Yes I know it's your job, but I do not need your opinion what would look best on me when I haven't even asked. Needless to say I am an absolute lover of Online Shopping. It gives me the ability to only view items in my size, and also always includes photos of what it looks like on. Plus I don't have to make polite small talk with anyone if I don't want.

In the last month, during a late night scroll through my Instagram feed, I came across another online clothing shop. Miss Holly. Don't get me wrong I have come cross Many different online clothing stores on Instagram, but none have really caught my eye like Miss Holly did. To begin with their feed wasn't just airbrushed models posing in such stiff model like ways. No. They had posts of their clothing, but their photos were done in such relaxed ways. Their models were enjoying themselves. Always smiling or laughing, and never just in a boring bare studio.

As well as photos of their clothing, Miss Holly's Instagram also has tropical photos (which lets face it, makes everyone feel they're on holiday,) and inspirational and funny quotes. Upon further stalking I actually realised I really liked the style of clothing Miss Holly had to offer. Their range is very chic, urban and just fresh. Many items include lace, which I absolutely love, and they're very easy to dress up or down. Their price range is very reasonable too for what you are getting! You're not having to cry once you pay your bill, that's for sure.

What's even more appealing about Miss Holly is that since I've been following them on Instagram (@misshollyhq & @misshollyxox) I've noticed they have very regular "Flash Sales" which last 60 mins and you get 50% off their entire range (once entering the code they give upon checkout) Now I don't know about you, but it's very rare you come across a shop that does flash sales in general, let alone as regular as Miss Holly does.

Another really inspirational fact about Miss Holly is that it is owned by two friends; Natasha and Aisha. They made the business completely on their own without the help of anyone else; which proves anything is possible if you work hard enough for it, and have a passion strong enough!

After discovering this store, and finding out more about it I couldn't stop myself from making a purchase from them. I bought a lovely basic singlet and also a really cute pink jumpsuit during their flash sale, and it only cost me $9 for express postage. The delivery was really quick (purchased on Thursday- received on Friday) which is unusual for me as I do live in a rural area and express delivery usually takes 2-3 days. Once I received the items they were packaged so carefully and well. The sizing of these items were just right also. Needless to say I am in love with both items.

If you are after new fashionable clothing and are on a budget- or even if you're not on a budget, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed in Miss Holly and should definitely give them a stalk! 

Until next time, xox
