Review of Ohvola !

I am not a regular online shopper. The only blogshop that I have bought clothes from is Ohvola.
Let's have a quick review here :


  1. The items are categorised into Tops, Bottoms, Dresses, Accessories and Back In Stock from the drop-down list on the top tab. Customers can look for what they desire on the website easily.
  2. There are descriptions for the products - it suggests how the customers can mix and match the items eg: tops. Besides, the owner also describes the kind of event or activity in which the clothes is suitable for. 
  3. Sizes and the measurement of the items are also provided to allow customers to select the size that suits them.
  4. The types of fabric are also listed. This gives customers a more vivid picture of how the clothes feel like.
  5. There is a model and different view of the clothes are displayed.


As a home economics teacher, I can use this website to teach my students on the topic of consumerism.

  1. Money Management. 
  • We can teach the students to distinguish between needs and wants, for example : branded clothes vs non-branded clothes. 
  • Importance of budgeting and saving. Do not buy new clothes if the clothes can be mended. 
  • Methods of payment. We pay for products online using credit card.
   2.   Care and Maintenance
  • How to clean and maintain different types of clothing.
   3.   Smart Shopping
  • Advertisement and promotion of products. Do not be influenced by the advertisement gimmicks such as promotions or attractive models. 
  • Comparative shopping. Compare the prices and quality of clothes in different websites or shops to make the best choice.
I believe that real life examples can engage students' prior knowledge and help them in understanding the concepts better.
