Geek Chic Glasses!

Marshmallow — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:34:49 GMT

Hey everyone! I just thought I'd share with you my recent purchase from Prettyandcute.com~ The are Miss Sophisticated glasses in black. They have a geeky kind of look, with a fake leather on the side. :)

I have a full detailed review here in case anyone is interested:

Thanks! :)

Lovely Shoes order - will it be THAT bad?

babytarragon — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 18:56:20 GMT

I've read a lot of reviews of Lovely Shoes, and it's so mixed. Many reviews say the quality is so bad you can't even wear some items.

But, there were two items I couldn't find the original of. So I thought I'll try the Lovely Shoes version.

I'm trying these three items:
White low heels
http://www.lovelyshoes.net/goods.php?id=28407
I expect the quality to be rough, I think buying these is taking a big chance.

Pink foldover boots
http://www.lovelyshoes.net/goods.php?id=15474
I expect quality to look bad, but I'm hoping because the design is simple and there's no heel, at least it will be comfortable.

White low boots
http://www.lovelyshoes.net/goods.php?id=17068
This was the main reason for the order, I love this style.
If anyone knows where I can find the original let me know!!
I expect the heel design won't look the same, but I hope it would at least be similar... And comfortable.

The price of the shipping came to more than the price of the items. I chose EMS. Normal Airmail was only $5 less, such a rip off!!

I had trouble with my Paypal, but after I let them know they gave me more time to pay and didn't cancel my order. The email replies were quite fast and friendly.

I heard Lovely Shoes takes a very long time to ship. Although they say they have their own factory, I'm sure they do the same as Wholesale Dress (don't buy there...) and order the items from Chinese-only wholesale sites after you already paid. So wholesale is not really wholesale at all. However my items were shipped in 3 days of payment so I guess maybe I was lucky my items were randomly in stock.

In a few days I should have them and will do a photo review of the items.

Overwhelmingly I already feel like saying, don't bother buying here, it's so expensive, but we'll see when I get my items :)

Wholesaledress and Bodyline buys imageheavy

Chokelate — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 09:27:18 GMT

I'm a huge shop a holic, but it seems like I fit right in here :D
Let me know if the pictures are too big, and I'll resize them!

I ordered from Bodyline together with a friend yesterday, I couldn't resist because of the sale. I though I added another dress, but it seems like that one is sold out :( maybe for the better, because my lolita closet can't really handle a lot more at the moment :o

And I ordered from Wholesaledress I think a week ago, though they're still preparing my order! I hope they hurry up because I want my stuff before I have to leave my country for work :p

I'll post pictures/reviews of the items when I get them!

Bodyline:

Hat in black and cream, I think they look cute especially with classic or sailor lolita!

Corset skirt

Wholesaledress:

I needed a bag to hold my book/portfolio, so I really hope this one is big enough!

Simple belt, always useful!

Waist belt (in black), I hope this one fits, because I have a really small waist.

Black scarf

Cameo necklace for lolita n___n

Key necklace, also for lolita!

Pearl necklace... another one for lolita :P

I love crosses and chains, so this necklace is perfect for me!

I was actually looking for a coat, but I couldn't resist this hoodie/coat kinda thing, it looks so cozy!

Grey oversized sweater

Leopard dress, love this one

Punky jeans, I hope they fit, it's always a gamble because I'm quite tall :P
But I won't be too sad if they don't fit, because...

Tartan pants! I absolutely love love love them, please fit!

Phfew, looking back.. that's a pretty big order :lol:

Bodyline's Birthday Sale 2010

Starberry — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:20:31 GMT

Bodyline had Mr. Yan's birthday sale on September 1st again. But it looks like it's still in effect. Last year they had it for a few days because of some technically difficulties or something. I'm going to try and order some things tonight if it's still up. Did anyone else take advantage of this sale opportunity?

currently updatingMy shopping dairy (from all kind of sites)

Melanny Law hing ping — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 14:03:29 GMT

Hi, my name is Melanny and I'm kind of new to this so I haven't done much e-shopping yet but I decided to make a dairy anyway. I will just write down what I have been buying and my honest comments on what I think about the items and sites. So you could say that this dairy may help other new e-shoppers in the future.. or at least I hope so.^^''

Ooo yeahh first of all I want to apologize for my bad English. Here we go!!

summary

Wholesale-dress.net

These earring looked exactly like those on the pictures, they are really cute! Though I must say that they are pretty heavy ^^’’… but you get used to it after a day.

Earrings - It looks very cute when you wear it. a tips is that you should "show" them and not let your hair cover your ears.

These hair pins where really big, it did look like the one on the picture though.. but the pearls are a bit bigger than those on the picture. But it looks pretty cute when you use them^^,

This dress is super cute. It is very simple and adorable. If you wanna look more "innocent" put a cardigan on^^ (hehe ignore the background...^^''I've just moved in so it looks kinda messy everywhere..)

The white belt looked exactly like those on wholesale-dress.net’s page. The grey one did also look like the one on their pages.. though it was a bit bigger than I thought it would be.

More coming up!

Dressky.com

This belt really deserves the name: mulit belt. Because of the simple design and the natural colour it is very easy to match it with other items (3,5USD).

This vest was really elegant, it was one of the few things that I loved from dressky. The quality was great and it’s very stretchable. I love the grey colour, though I must admit that I was a bit unsure at first but because it was so cheap (4,5USD) I though: what the hell why not take a chance hehe and I’m so happy that I took the chance!! I’m definitely content with it^^, Tips! You may see that it looks a bit weird at the end of the vest (first pic-the last button) What you can do to prevent the vest from “wrinkleling”, is that you can let the last button (if you have a shorter over body perhaps more buttons) unbuttoned.

These earrings looked almost like the ones on the picture.. but not exactly like them... though I must warn you that the white fluffy thing is made of a LQ material. But otherwise very cute (they cost like 0,4USD).

This belt looked exactly like
the ones on the picture.. very cute^^ and the quality is great (around 3,5USD)
Ok, I bought a lot of things from dressky, but I’ve packed them all because I will move tomorrow but I will upload other pictures when I’ve packed it all out!!

ebay.com

This is a glue for false eyelid/eyelashes. It was very cheap (under 2USD) and it really did work.

I was very happy when I got this item. It looks exactly like the one which is shown on the picture at the sellers eBay store. I won it for 6.3USD but otherwise it costs around 10USD+shipping.
More coming up!

cosmates.jp

Ok, I know the uniform seem really large, but it really fits pretty well. Though I must warn you that the skirt is very short so be careful when the wind blows ;p.. a tips is that you may buy a long coat/cardigan which will cover at least your back (view pic). The quality is very good! It was definitely worth my 35USD.

Lawrarashop.com

Ok, this item was really cute it came with a set (socks, skirt + dress) and it fits okej (I prefer the school red school uniform from costmates) the main problem with this uniform was that the quality (only the dress) wasn’t the best though the skirt and socks were in great condition… though I must say that it wasn’t worth the price (I bought it for 79USD).

These shoes looked very cute on the site.. but when I recerved it it was like 39048 times bigger than I expected..>> the problem wasn't the lenght... the problem was the width..

Gmarket!
