Are you looking for a gift for a 21st birthday girl? Maybe it is time to do away with those conventional present such as photo album, vouchers or maybe a pendant that resembles a key shape (many in Singapore believe that 21st birthday is a year whereby it is the key to freedom, therefore traditionally, people buy key shape pendant as a birthday present). Let’s do away with that and you can try buying apparels instead. Since fashion trends and apparels is important to a female.
Design Template
Citrus Alley - Custom Header
Citrus Alley has a good design template. It has attractive pictures, good colour combinations, easy to navigate around and it is pleasing to my eyes. The custom header changes with the different navigation tab (which means you get to see a different apparel each time you click the different navigation tab). Navigation tabs were clear and they even had a shopping cart available. It helps ease the hassle of calculation because all you need to do is to click “Add to cart”, choose the quantity and there you go. On the right column of the page you can see the item that you have chosen and the cost of it. Great! You no longer have to have a calculator beside you and a pen to remember the item you have chosen. What could have been improved was to allow removal of an item from the shopping cart before checking out because that there were no way I could remove an item from my cart unless I proceed to the check out corner.
Focus and content of the blogshop
There was clear description on what they aim to do. Catchy sub-headers were used so that you want to read on more. From their description, their collection mainly comprises of girly blouses, vintage pieces, contemporary apparels, simple, sweet and chic dresses, one-of-a-kind pieces, accessories, and bags. They claim that there is a style to suit everybody too. They have met most of their description except I have yet to see much item that is suitable for my style and for my work. But other then that, their collection is suitable for a 21st birthday present because the designs were fashionable and images were taken well.
Here’s some of their design that may provide you with ideas for 21st birthday present.

On another note, I was disappointed because I had wanted to find a particular blouse that the model was wearing on one of their custom header but I could not find it anywhere in their collection. I noticed that there were few others that were not available too. It would have made the blogshop better if what was shown on the custom header is included in their collection too.
Best deal?
If time and convenience is a factor for you, Citrus Alley may be your potential best deal. As I have not bought any item from them at the moment, it is for me just a nice deal and I can’t comment on their service or quality of the items. It is a blogshop pretty to browse for fashion trend/ideas, somewhere to perk my day because the models have great smile and poise that makes me feel very comfortable and convinced that they are very comfortable in the item that they are modeling for.
Do feel free to give me your feedback if you agree with me, or if you have purchase anything from them, it would be great if you could share your experience with me. Thanks!
