Boohoo, for those non-UK folks who don’t know is a massive online shopping site. It’s similar to NastyGal or ASOS, but with lower prices.
They reached out to me with a very interesting idea, but part way through it kind of fell apart to be honest. There was meant to be a giveaway of a backpack with a travel wardrobe inside for a reader- enough for a MONTH of travel! They gave me a few samples to try out so I could tell you guys a little more about them. Although the giveaway fell through, they are giving all my readers a 20% discount with the code HIPPIEINHEELS on the clothes in the “blogger shop“.
A little show and tell of Boohoo’s clothes
I am NOT a fashion blogger nor am I a model so let’s not give me too hard of a time for my lack of being Miranda Kerr. My friend took some photos of me and thank god for her, because I don’t think Ben would have been up to the task. She lives in this gorgeous old Portuguese house, so we took the photos there.
I think this dress was my favorite. It was light and colorful; perfect for Goa. The little black leather backpack will be good for a party night.
Boohoo asked me to pick out a capsule wardrobe, which I did on their site. A capsule wardrobe basically means that the clothes will be easily mixed and matched to make up even more outfit options, which they pointed out is great for travelers. Other than the items here, there are 30 more pieces I’ve picked to make a capsule wardrobe which you can see on the Boohoo site under my blogger capsule wardrobe profile.
I have written quite a few posts about how to dress in India, in Europe, and tips about boho-chic designers that I love abroad. So, although I love writing about travel, I’m pretty fashion obsessed.
This is what they call a “shift dress” and the fabric was the softest of the bunch. I know it’s meant to wear out but there’s a slight chance I might wear it out and then wear it to bed as well- it’s very cozy!
This black skirt came with a long sleeve shirt that matches (you’ll see below) and the white tank was separate. The kimono goes great over it and I love kimonos… I’ve raved about them before.
So, here is the same skirt as above but with the shirt it came with, a cute light scarf that would be great for India!
The same scarf with the outfit you saw a few photos up!
So here’s the last example of the mixing and matching I did, all with just 8 pieces ordered!
So, I’m really bummed that the give away was canceled because that was the reason I did this partnership. No time in life to dwell, but want to be straight forward with you guys on the give away falling through. You can still get 20% off from the “travel wardrobe”, so I guess for my UK readers that might be worth posing awkwardly in these clothes ; Have fun shopping!

I love, love, love that scarf! Beautiful clothes. I had never heard of this brand before – I think I’ve been away from the UK for too long!
The scarf was my favorite! I hadn’t either before they reached out.
BooHoo is quite hit and miss but when it’s on form, they do some great stuff at low prices. Another one to look out for is Missguided which I think has launched recently in the US too. Really like the crop top and the shift dress!
You’re right about that it’s very hit or miss, but I guess with the low prices that’s expected. I haven’t heard of missguided, will check it out though thanks!
Ahhh I think you look fab! I always think you have great style so no wonder they reached out- what a shame the give away fell through!
Oh that’s so nice of you. and yeah it was a huge BUMMER but went ahead with the post anyways.
These clothes are adorable and you look great in them!! Ugh, I would love to have some cute travel clothes. I am so overdue for a good shopping day!
I would love to go shopping- online just isn’t the same.
I liked the first dress the best with the black leather travelbag..
Yeah it was pretty cute!
Well I have no use for the clothes but you are a knock-out. Goa’s finest!
ha ha, I don’t know about that but thanks!
