Where To Find Some Cool Gifts For Women - Fashion Gift Guide with 17 items

Hi There..... Would you like me to share some cool gifts for women? Are you in for another gift guide? 

I was thinking, why not share a gift guide more regularly instead of only on the Holidays? Since this is a fashion and lifestyle blog, I thought, for now, I would limit it to just cool gifts for women. 80% of my readers are women, so I don't think most of you will mind. 😄

Although, men can benefit from this kind of gift guide too when they are on the lookout for a neat gift for their girlfriend, fiancé, or wife. However, some women have wives too, so they are twice as lucky. They can choose a gift for themselves and for their girlfriend, fiancé, or wife. Then again, these women could have daughters for all I know, so that could be a third lucky strike. What more could you want. A granddaughter, perhaps? 😏

I was considering mixing it up with beauty gift guides because most women love beauty products too. I know lifestyle can include a lot of other things, but I still have to share my interviews and reviews with you too, and there are already a lot of interviews waiting for me to share on my blog. However, if you have the feeling that there is something missing on my blog, just let me know. I am always open to suggestions. 😍

I know, enough nagging, time to show you those gifts I selected for you this week. That reminds me of when I was a young girl, I used to be very talkative. My dad once asked me to shut up for 5 minutes. He promised me I would get 5 Belgian francs if I succeeded. What do you think happened? I didn't get the 5 francs because I just couldn't stay quiet that long. 😂

BABEYOND Plus Size 1920s Art Deco Fringed Sequin Dress $45.99 - $49.99



Great Gatsby dresses and gowns defied the social conventions of the time when corsets and restrictive Victorian gowns were the norms.

The flapper style represented freedom, enjoyment, and fun.

These dresses come in rich dark colors embellished with shiny stones and sequins to add the shimmering effect.

Even today, these style ideas are still at play in gowns for the red carpet, updated to adapt to the times, but if you look closely, there’s still that 1920s sparkle to them.

Interview with Fashion Influencer Pauline Grossen

Hi There..... Are you ready for another Instagram Influencer Interview? 

Yes, I found a second influencer to star on my blog, so you will just have to be. This is a Fashion and Lifestyle blog for a reason. It's not about cats and dogs, even though they are incredibly cute, but it's mostly about Women's fashion. Besides, what's not to like about women's fashion? 😎

I have some more questions for you. Do you write? Do you often wonder what on earth you are going to write about?

I do because I am not really the most organized blogger. A lot of bloggers have a few posts ready to hit the publish button. Sadly enough, that's not me. Although these Instagram Influencer interviews are easier for me, I sometimes wish it was me. Well, no use crying over spilled milk, or in this case, the milk is yet to be spilled. 😁

My mind can get cloudy when my pain levels are too high, like yesterday, for instance. That's why I postponed my blog post to today. Those are the times that I regret not having a blog post ready to hit my publish button, but nothing I can do about it. 

Oh right, there is. I could start piling up a few for those just in case moments. It wouldn't be the worst idea. Let me know if you hate me for not having anything ready, because that may give me the push I need to make that glorious pile, or not, who knows. 😳

Not that it happens that often, that I differ from my schedule. In an average week, I write the biggest part of my blog post a day or two before I publish. Now that I think of it, I suppose that means I am not totally unorganized. Good thing that I don't write to make a living out of it. I am one of those crazy people that do it just for fun. 😍

I can only hope that you get that vibe too when you read my blog posts. Today's an Interview with Fashion Influencer and Blogger, Pauline Grossen. She will be 25 in August and has over 100.000 followers on Instagram. She also has a few 10.000's on TikTok and YouTube. Let's hear what she has to
say. 😊

Do you have a day job? Full-time or Part-time?

I am a full-time content creator. This means I work daily on my blog www.afashiontaste.com and my social media channels. It involves a lot of email writing, online meetings, contracts, administration, planning, creativity, content creation itself, editing, posting,... 

How many hours do you spend on Instagram on average?

I think about 3 hours daily. Of course, I have to respond to a lot of messages, which I absolutely love doing, and then there’s posting as well. I like to interact with the people commenting and liking my posts, so it always takes me some time!

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

I think fashion is important to express myself. I love playing with colors, fits, and styles. It makes me feel confident and happy!

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

I think my biggest success has been persisting and quality. I’ve been blogging and taking pictures for social media for almost 10 years. It all started with my modeling career as a kid, and because of posting every day and sharing quality content, I think people love my account. I also show a lot of my behind the scenes and things about my personal life, like building our house and our puppy Olso 🐶

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

For me, it’s more the style and vision behind a brand that counts. I also try to shop more locally!

Describe your personal style of clothing?

I think my style is more casual chic. I enjoy being comfortable but still look put together. I also love to bring some extra color into an outfit. I think "comfy colorful chic" sounds best 😊

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

My look really depends on how I feel, and that reflects my own personal style. It evolved a lot, of course, during the years and it keeps evolving. That’s the beauty of having a personal style. 

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

I guess I do! Many people like my color combo’s and style so I may point a few people in the ‘right’ direction 😊

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

I love the pastel prints for this spring/summer season. It’s so fresh and looks good on everyone. I’m also a big fan of the high boots!

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

I don’t think there are "bad trends" I feel like everyone just has to wear what they want. And for me, for instance, yellow doesn't compliment my face. So that’s a trend color that doesn’t work for me.

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Always mix and match and try to show your personality. Fashion is supposed to be FUN, so make it fun! Don’t be scared to let your outfit reflect the way you feel!

Who is your style icon and why?

I love Tessa Barton’s style (tezza on IG). She is edgy, always chic and put together, yet colorful! Very close to my style.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Keep Positive 😊
@afashiontaste on other social media platforms


I just love the style of her clothing and pictures. Thank you, Pauline, for taking the time to answer my questions. 😍

Where to find funny graphic Tees online - Live Laugh Shirt - graphic T-shirts

Hi There..... Are you a fan of graphic T shirts? Would you wear funny graphic Tees?

I wouldn't hesitate about wearing funny graphic Tees because I love people with a sense of humor. 😍

How could I not love humor, since they brought me up with it? Ok, to my liking, they may have teased me too much, because of my sensitive nature. There was always fun and laughter in our household, though. 😉

Ah yes, I didn’t tell you before, but I found out a few days ago that I am highly sensitive. After so many years, I found out that I was not just a faint child. There was a lot more behind how I reacted to things that happened to me. 😳

I remember my 2 sisters always quarreling over everything and nothing when we were kids. What I hated the most were quarrels and the loud noises that came with them. My sisters were always trying to get me to pick a side, and I didn’t want that. 😢

All I wanted was for everything to be peaceful. That was my cheerful place, and it still is. I was seldom the troublemaker. I always tried to do good for everyone. It worked, it made me super popular. Duh, no, of course not. 😏

In school, I wasn’t the popular kid either, because I was cleverer than most and also was a striver. I was also a super shy kid. Some of my more loyal readers will know that people would only have to look at me to make me as red as a tomato. And I was also one of the lucky kids that wore glasses because of my lazy eye. I was such a lucky one. Can you imagine that being teased at home was too much sometimes? 😧

Still, I have a lot of fond memories from my childhood, and I love humor. That's why I was so pleased when Ryan Lambert reached out to me to try out one of his graphic T shirts. 😄


Maybe just like me, you haven't heard of Live laugh Shirts. No problem, that's why I am writing this blog post so that you will all get to know the shop.

Live Laugh Shirt is a shop created as a sarcastic mirror for pop culture. Ryan Lambert, the owner, loves absurdity, satire, and irony, and most of the creative elements rise out of that headspace. He also considers himself an archivist, collecting phrases, fonts, and graphics to blend in together and use as designs. 


The website serves as a lightning rod, to attract attention and support for his film and literary projects. He publishes a weekly newsletter that showcases all of his projects, a digest of writing and videos, clothes for sale, and more.

He is also hoping to grow Live Laugh Shirt into a collaborative effort, working with other thinkers and artists to create new designs. He uploads a new graphic T shirt design each week, so there's plenty of room for fresh partnerships. 

In fact, he says he's open to anyone sending him an email with ideas or suggestions. He is not on social media, so that's really the only way to find or contact him.

If you would like to know some more about the man behind these funny graphic Tees, take a look at this website where he publishes his own weekly film review newsletter https://flickpicking.org/

He has built up quite some reputation, and his projects have been screened at events by Out on Film, Mammal Gallery, Collect Atlanta, and Kodak. He has also been featured in numerous publications, so maybe you have heard about him.


I am so in love with my new graphic T shirt, and such a pretty color. Must be because I chose it myself. They are also available in lots of other colors. I am not sure if this goes for every design, but this T-shirt was nice and long. The fabric is 100% cotton, and you can feel that it's of fine quality.

However, I have a recommendation for the website of this shop. People may be more tempted to buy if they knew in advance that the Tees are 100% cotton and that the fabric is of fine quality. 

I bet you are all eager to find out which other funny graphic Tees they have in their store. Let me show you a few. 




Fun, aren't they? I saw in their shop that a new design is expected on February the 19th. I am curious to find out what his next graphic T shirt will be. 

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Where to Buy Eyeglasses Online - EYEKEEPER - Online Eyeglasses

Hi There..... Are you looking to buy eyeglasses online? Would you like to hear a stupid joke about eyeglasses?

No? Too bad, because before I tell you about online eyeglasses, I am telling it anyway. It’s a joke my uncle told me a long time ago. 😉

A man goes to the ophthalmologist and says, Doctor, I think I need reading glasses. Yes, the doctor says, what seems to be the problem? The man says, I almost have to stretch my arms fully to read my book. The doctor says, come back again when your arms become too short. 😁

I know, it’s a stupid but still fun joke. Maybe not that fun for me anymore, because I have the same problem now. I read on Wikipedia that many extreme presbyopes complain their arms have become too short to hold reading material at a comfortable distance. 😦

They say that the first symptoms that you need eyeglasses, starts after the age of 40. What most people notice is difficulty reading the fine print, especially in low light conditions. They also have problems with eyestrain when reading for long periods, blurring of near objects, or temporarily blurred vision when changing the viewing distance. 😫

I have just passed 40, and it pains me to say that it’s true. Ok, maybe I passed 40 a tad longer than just, but that’s not the point at the moment. 😏

What would you say if I said that I discovered a great online eyeglasses shop where you can find a huge choice in all kinds of glasses? Ooh, you caught me on a lie. I haven’t found them. They found me. 😊

A few weeks ago EYEKEEPER reached out to me, asking if I would consider writing a blog for them. They offered me a pair of reading glasses from them to try out, in exchange for my honest opinion, and they also wanted me to try out their computer glasses with a blue light filter. Now how could I say no to that? 😎


Don't you just love this retro half-moon design? And they also have these in black, yellow, and green. It is one of their customers ' favorites, and I can understand why, because I am also in love with this cute design. But there is no need to worry if you are not that much a fan of this one because they have heaps of different models and colors. 😍


First, let me tell you more about EYEKEEPER. They are a Company, specialized in reading glasses and blue-blocking glasses. They had a nice reputation as Eyekepper, an Amazon seller, so in 2019 they created the sub-brand EYEKEEPER, and now own their own shopping site. 

They say that according to surveys, more and more people suffer from presbyopia as they get older, so the demand for reading glasses is increasing. 

Maybe it's because people just live longer, which results in a bigger percentage of elderly people. Not sure if Corona will have changed this tendance. I bet there will be studies about that after all this madness is over. 😉


EYEKEEPER provides quality and ex-factory price reading glasses and customer service. They make their frames design, the most comfortable fit available, besides unparalleled durability. 

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Aspheric scratch resistant coated lenses. Top-quality Plastic frame. Optically correct.
Whether you are looking for reading glasses for the office or home. EYEKEEPER reading glasses will give you the premium protection you are looking for.


I just love that they are nice and light, and they delivered them in this lovely black box with a soft cloth. I am so happy with the shape and fit of these glasses. 

Believe me, the weight of your glasses is more important than you may think. I once bought myself a pair of glasses that really felt heavy on my nose. I had them for the longest time, still do, but I just don't like to use them.

Now let me tell you more about this second pair of eyeglasses. I didn't even realize that I needed them. For a while now, I was having problems with dry eyes and fatigue when I had been busy too long on my laptop or my cell-phone. 

You could say that I sometimes get caught up too much in giving likes on my Instagram. There are also times when I have taken a walk for a bit too long, and have to pay the consequence with back pains, that I stay on my laptop longer the next days. 


I read on Preventblindness that continued exposure to blue light over time could lead to damaged retinal cells. Fatigue, dry eyes, bad lighting, or how you sit in front of the computer can cause eyestrain. Symptoms of eyestrain include sore or irritated eyes and difficulty focusing. 😧

I was happy that EYEKEEPER pointed this out to me and asked me to try out one of their blue light blocking reading glasses. Seems I don't know everything, am not perfect and human after all. 😄


They say that in this age of ubiquitous electronic products, more people realized that blue light can cause Eye disease, so the demand for anti-blue-ray products is growing. They have a large variety of computer reading glasses, perfect for long hours in front of a screen. 

Whether you work in front of a computer screen or just love to read on your iPad or similar reading tablet, these computer reading glasses will help lessen the strain on your eyes.

The number one solution is to decrease the time spent in front of these screens and/or take frequent breaks to give your eyes rest, of course, but it may not be a bad idea to wear these kinds of glasses. If there is no other option but to continue working or even playing on your computer screen, they may be exactly what you need. 😊


Ok, I chose the type myself, but I am so delighted with this gold color design. Mine are magnification strength +1.5, but if you have no need for magnification, you can choose their +0.0 computer glasses. They are also available in black or gunmetal, but just like their reading glasses, they have heaps of other types. 😍

These computer glasses have made quite a difference in using my laptop and my cell phone. My eyes don't feel so dry, irritated, and itchy anymore. It was as if a new world opened up for me. Now I can multiply my time on Instagram. Haha, no, of course not. 😂


A little tip still from EYEKEEPER

To avoid damage, never clean your reading glasses with paper towels or clothing, or alcohol. Avoid using household detergents or soaps. While a few mild soaps don't harm lenses, today's extra strength soaps are powerful enough to slowly disintegrate lens coatings.

By the way, I have some splendid news for you. Not that I have anything to gain by telling you this, but if you use the code REN15 - you get a 15% discount at

Interview on Women's Fashion with Instagram Influencer Dima Kontar

Hi There..... Are you an Instagram Influencer and do you love Women’s Fashion?

Ah great, that means you are just like me. Oops, no, that’s impossible, because there is nobody like me. I am one of a kind. I bet you are too. 😁

It is said though that everybody has a twin somewhere. I haven’t met mine, but something very weird happened to me about 20 years ago. 😮

In the supermarket, I was waiting for my turn, on the cold cuts counter, when someone pushed me aside. I didn’t know the man that pushed me and looked at him in surprise. I am so sorry, he said, but you are the spitting image of my sister. 😯

Have you ever encountered anything like that? 

Something similar happened to me a second time, about 15 years ago. I know it’s pretty hard to believe, but pinky swear that it’s true. 😉

I went to my first rehearsal with a new choir. One member almost fainted when she saw me. She had a younger sister that had died a few years ago and according to her; I looked exactly like her. Pretty weird, right? 😲

Back to the point again. What was I talking about? Ah, yes, I wanted to know if you were an Instagram Influencer and into Women’s Fashion. 😊

Maybe you don’t even like Influencers, or worse, you don’t like fashion. I sure hope not, because today is my first interview with a Fashion Influencer. I have done a few interviews with Fashion Designers, and I think it’s fun to get to know more about them. 😍

This inspired me to start a series of interviews with Instagram Influencers who are into women’s fashion. If I can find them of course, because that is not the most straightforward task. If you have any suggestions where to find some or even just one more, that would be outstanding. It pains me to say that they are not all standing in line, waiting for me to feature them on my blog. 😏

Could be because I have done none before, or maybe because I am picky. They would have to have a minimum of 15.000 followers on Instagram. My first star of the show totally fits the bill. Her name is Dima Kontar, she is 35 and has a whopping amount of 32.9 K followers. 😲


Do you have a day job? Full-time or Part-time?

Full-time job.

How many hours do you spend on Instagram on average?

An average of 4h/day on Instagram, and about 8h/day working on campaigns, emails, communications, shooting, and video and photo edits.

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Definitely. The way we dress reflects our character and personality. Every woman has her own fashion label defined by her style and preference. Therefore, it is extremely important to me to dress appropriately for every occasion, and in a way that suits my daily life to achieve an elegant and comfortable look at the same time.

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

I have a Master’s degree in Health Services Administration. Although I have worked in healthcare for several years and I was very successful in it, I had a huge fashion for modeling which I started at 14. Throughout the years I had two jobs: a full-time hospital job during the day and a modeling job in the afternoons and the weekends. 

My journey on Instagram started as a model where I have achieved tremendous success. This journey changed over the years towards digital creation and influencing as I became a mom. I am sure every mom reading this will know how our lovely kids transform our lives. And now social media turned into a full-time job for me!

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

Although I prefer certain brands, I care more about the cut and design of any fashion piece I want to wear. I believe this is more important than the brand name. My motto is that elegance and beauty don’t have a brand name!

Describe your personal style of clothing?

I am more of a casual, elegant person and this fits my daily life.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

Personally, I prefer to dress up to the occasion. My signature in all my looks is chic and elegance, whether it is an everyday look or an occasion look.

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

I believe every person following me gets influenced by the style that fits their character. That’s why I always display fashion looks that can suit a variety of populations, and they can incorporate into their daily looks.

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

Nowadays it is very important to me to be trendy and unique elegantly.

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

The worst trends are the ones you can’t incorporate into your daily style. They cause a feeling of discomfort when trying to adopt these styles.


What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Dress in a way that suits your body and curves. You might see a nice fashion piece that you love and would want to wear, but that doesn’t suit your body form. Not every trend fits everyone. Choose what looks nice on you and reflects your beauty.

Who is your style icon and why?

No one in particular. I love to be creative and unique, and mix and match my closet items, to make a fresh look every day. I love to choose trendy fashion pieces and assemble them in a chic, elegant way. Remember to always shop according to your wardrobe and transform some old pieces you have. You will be fascinated with the results. 

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Always be yourself. You are beautiful the way you are. Dress to impress. And don't forget to follow me on my social media to learn more about fashion trends, tips, and hacks.
