Hey, I’m Nola. I share the small, curious, and sometimes oddly useful things I come across on AliExpress. This blog is my way of keeping track — and maybe helping you find your next tiny obsession, too.
I’ve always loved scrolling through AliExpress, not even for big things — just tiny, odd, useful stuff that makes me smile.
One day I thought, why not start sharing these finds? So here we are.
This blog isn’t about trends or must-haves. It’s just me, Nola, writing down what caught my eye and why I liked it.
If you enjoy quiet corners of the internet, I hope you’ll feel at home here.

Here’s what I’ve been trying, unboxing, and quietly loving lately. Just honest thoughts on a few AliExpress things that made it into my everyday — the good, the weird, and the surprisingly useful.
May 22, 2025
A breezy floral wrap dress that instantly feels like summer — light, comfy, and full of movement.
May 28, 2025
A lightweight sleeveless blouse with a fun mix of gold chains and polka dots — perfect for hot days when you still want to look put-together.
May 31, 2025
A light and breezy lilac set with subtle stripes — perfect for warm days when you want to feel comfy but still look effortlessly cool.
May 17, 2025
A vintage-inspired pin-up dress with cherry print, off-shoulder neckline, and flared skirt. Sweet, bold, and made for twirling.
#comingsoon
I’ve got a few fun finds on the way — things I ordered on a whim and can’t wait to try. If they’re as good as they look (fingers crossed), full reviews are coming soon. Stay tuned — I’ll spill everything, as always.
#justathought
Sometimes I just need a spot to share small things — what I’m thinking, noticing, or figuring out while building this little blog. Nothing fancy, just honest bits from my side of the screen.

A few new pieces just arrived — and I’m already playing dress-up. I haven’t fully tested them yet, but here’s what’s waiting for its moment (and maybe a full review soon).
Just unwrapped this high-waisted denim skirt — curious if it’s as comfy as it looks.
This soft beige t-shirt has that “borrowed from someone nice” feel — will report back soon.
Tried these tie-dye leggings on a whim — not sure yet if they’re for yoga or the couch.
This lime green jumpsuit is bold, breezy, and maybe secretly brilliant — testing it this week.
#FAQ
Yes, I do. This blog is pretty much my personal shopping journal — I only write about things I’ve ordered, unpacked, worn, and sometimes mildly panicked over when I couldn’t find the scissors.
Mostly? Whatever catches my eye at 1 a.m. while I scroll through AliExpress with zero self-control. Sometimes it’s something I’ve needed for weeks, other times it’s just a “why not?” click.
Not always. I usually keep them even if they’re a bit off — which is how I’ve ended up with a small collection of “what was I thinking?” items. But I still write about those too (just with more sighs).
Only for lighting or cropping — I try to keep things as real as possible. If something looks sheer, weirdly stitched, or unexpectedly amazing, I want that to show.
I’m about 167 cm tall, usually wear EU 36/38, and I have a short torso and long legs (so things never fit quite how they should). I try to mention how things sit on me in every review.
Yes please! If you saw something weird, pretty, or just plain questionable — send it my way. I can’t promise I’ll try it, but I do love a good challenge.
I’ve always liked finding small, curious things online — the kind that make you pause and think, huh, maybe I do need that. After a while, I realized I was sending friends the same links with little notes like “okay but look at this!” — so I thought, why not turn that into something?
This blog is just me, Nola, sharing what I actually order, try on, and live with. No teams, no pressure — just honest thoughts about things that made me smile, surprised me, or totally didn’t work (because that happens too). I’m not here to sell anything. I just like writing things down — and maybe helping someone else find a small joy along the way.
