Welcome To; CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC

This is a review blog. Sharing yours and our own personal views on the blogshop world.

Yes, there are already quite a few review and shopping critique blogs out there already.

In this blog, we'll be reviewing items from blogshops that we like or absolutely love and would actually buy.
So if you find that you have a similar style of clothes that we will be posting on our blog, then this is the place you.

Do send in your emails on updates,
but although we may not be reviewing each and every single one, you may still send us your website for us to add to our blog roll. :)

**Note that we DO NOT review second hand items, cosmetics, lingerie and pre-order blog shops.**


And these are just our "Personal Views" on the items,
we would also love to know what you think,
so if you wish to leave a comment below the post, do feel free to do so. :)

Photography Tips


TIPS:
1. Try taking the pictures under the natural sunlight to keep it's real
    colour of the item.
2. Take pictures on a white background.
3. Mannequins are another way if you do not like posing. But if you can,
    find a model to post for you to show how an item such as a dress
    flows. I think it gives sort of a better imagination to the person who's
    going/considering to buy an item.
4. Try keep hands and hair to the side or away from blocking the item
    you are selling.
5. If you item has a lot details, take a close up picture on it.

DO NOT:
1. Take pictures from a reflection of a mirror.
2. In dark rooms.
3. Under yellow/dim lights.
4. Focus on the model's face, keep the focus to the items you are selling.
5. Resize the picture by making it smaller. Keep it as large as possible
    for the buyers to see them clearly.
6. Photoshop your pictures too much to distort them or even make it
    look better than it is in real life to make your item look like something
    it's not.



Some of the blog shops that i think take awesome pictures are;
- French Kiss (Absolutely love their pictures. Always clear and
   keeping the focus on the items and blurring out the backgroud.
- Se.xx.y (Pictures taken with a Plain White Background)
- Mezzanine (Very clear and detailed)
