Arenal was our first stop in Costa Rica and we really enjoyed our time there. There is lots to do from simply relaxing, to hiking or swimming in a waterfall. In this post you’ll find the best things to do in the Arenal & La Fortuna Area, where to stay and how to get there.
The accommodation we chose made our trip to Arenal extra special. We stayed at Rancho Margot, a self-sufficient ranch close to Lake Arenal. I’ll tell you everything about it in this post as well.
For this Femme Luxe haul, got two cute items as usual! This time I got two cute corset type tops that I’d thought would look nice and elegant. The items I chose weren’t so suitable for winter but had been eyeing them for a while and decided to go for them anyways, and I don’t regret it.
The first item was a beautiful corset type off shoulder top in a unique shade of green. This top is gorgeous! I love how the fabric has a unique texture and the top itself also changes textures. I also love how the sleeves are versatile in that they can either be hanging on the side or stay on my shoulders. This top can easily be worn with trousers, or in my case I styled it with a silk long skirt for a very dreamy look. It’s a head turner, romantic and original. Plus, the shade of green is quite unique. It can be worn with jeans, trousers or even a short skirt depending on what you are going for, really.
The second item I got is a black PU strapless corset. When I originally got it I thought I’d be too small but it’s super flexible so it fit me just fine. Of course you can wear this corset on its own but in winter what’s better than wearing it with a long sleeve top under? I opted in for a turtleneck but my desired look would be with a white shirt. How chic would that be? Pair it with some knee high boots and there you go, a killer look. It can also go with jeans and a belt as the model is wearing in the photo. Looks super classy and special.
Based in the Hong Kong, Noracora is an online website selling trendy women’s outfits and a huge variety of other women’s wear such as shoes, clothing, jewelry, bags, jumpsuits, leggings, and much more at affordable prices. They’ve reached out so I could do a review, so here I am. I’ve ordered 4 items.
First item was this turtleneck long black dress. I actually really liked it, the fabric is polyester but it’s still nice and comfy. As you can see in the product picture vs my picture it looks pretty similar, the website one seems a bit more flowy and with more fabric at the bottom but maybe I should have sized up (I ordered an S and I’m between S-M). I’m happy with it.
Second, I got a sweater dress. It looked quite intricate and detailed in the photos so was a bit apprehensive of what it would actually look like but it did look great even if slightly different than the one in the website, as I think the fabric looked heavier there. Received lots of compliments on it and I’m really, really happy with it.
For this Femme Luxe haul, got a lot of cute items as usual! I chose black trousers, a beautiful cream / light long sleeve bodysuit and animal print black trousers. I hope you are excited as I am about this Femme Luxe haul.
It’s sometimes hard to find classy and elegant items in Femme Luxe, but you know, those who seek shall find. The look for this brand is pretty slinky and I have a much more elegant look but being flexible and thinking creatively allows me to find items I love even if I don’t have the shape or look of the model that they use which I believe is their regular customer. My favourite item of this haul were the black trousers, it’s hard for these not to be elegant. I wasn’t a huge fan of the animal print trousers, they don’t look too classy, but I’m very extreme and don’t use animal print at all so that might be why. You might like them, I just have quite strict rules on what I wear.
