Quoth the Raven

Recently I received a wonderful package from my new sponsor Jane Nevermore.

Jane Nevermore is an alternative label based in the UK. With original prints and bright colours their products are versatile and eye catching!

Shipping:

Jane was pretty quick to ship my order out. It arrived to me in about 12 days from the UK to Australia. It arrived in the pink package above, sealed and safe. With no transit damage to the envelope or what was inside I'd say her shipping service was fantastic!

Items:

In my pack age there were three little treats just for me!

† Cone Studded Black Bracelet

† White Everyday Demons Crop

† Feelin' Blue Tie Dye Tee

First of all the black cone studded leather wrist band. The band is fastened by a notched buckle and its size is adjustable. The cone studs are black and screwed in to the leather. The leather is clean, thick and has neat edges. The buckle and studs are well fastened, every now and then though I check the screws just to be safe, I'd hate to lose a stud. That is just me being cautious though, this little baby is really well made. At first the band is stiff, but never fear, being leather with wear it will soften. I have worn mine almost non stop since I got it and it has already adjusted and sits comfortably on me.

I wish I could take full body shots because this everyday demon crop looks stellar with high waisted skirts and leggings. I love this print design so much, it was so hard to choose between the black and the white. Made from soft lycra, my only worry was that because it was white you might be able to see my bra through it. In this picture I was wearing a black bra and you can hardly see it, if at all! It sits comfortably under my bust, when I lift my arms it doesn't rise too high so I'm not flashing the world. Its fit is great, I went for a small size but Jane Nevermore offers to make custom fits as well as their standard sizing options. This one even has a little extra to fit for more boob :D

The feelin' blue tie dye tee is a super comfy, 100% cotton shirt. The explosion of purples and blues make you feel anything but down. It is a unisex tee and each design is hand dyed so no design is the same. A really great, versatile shirt, tie dye is never going to go out of fashion!

Overall:

I love each of these pieces and there are so many more unique designs from Jane Nevermore I would love to get my hands on! Everything is well priced for original designs and quality products. Jane is easy to talk to, very understanding and friendly. Her store is an amazing service and I would recommend it again and again!

Thanks so much to Jane Nevermore for the chance to write this review!

† LunaDoll Sponsored Review - Sun & Moon Leggings †

Buy them HERE!

Price: $27

These are a great pair of leggings. The fabric breathes nicely and is stretchy so it is a generous fit. They are well made, no loose threads and sturdy materials. Great quality! The price is super decent in my opinion!

Item:

I got a size small and they fit really well with room to spare. They are not too long and not too short (I dislike leggings that are too high above the ankle when they are not meant to be!) Comfy but very flattering. Made of ... they are light, silky to the touch, but don't really create static electricity. They breathe so I have been able to get away with wearing them in this warmer weather. The print is gorgeous, this depiction of the sun and moon have a nostalgic effect on me. My favourite mug, that has been in out cupboard for as long as I can remember has a similar design, and we have had garden sculptures/ornaments in our yard like them too since I was a baby. I adore this motif! It's pretty versatile too in what styles it can be worn with.

Packaging/Shipping:

They came in a plastic envelope with no tears, not even a dirty mark on the outside. Inside the leggings were neatly wrapped up in tissue paper with a cute sticker to seal them. They arrived a week ago on the 8th of January. Shipping was a little slower than normal given it was the holidays, New Year and Christmas, and they were sent before Christmas. Not including the holidays they took probably under 3 weeks to get to me which is great.

Overall:

I have had heaps of compliments already about them and I have only worn them twice! Vivien is lovely to work with, polite and helpful, she is very approachable if you have any questions. I was over the moon (haha pun) with how wonderful these leggings are, I highly recommend them if you are looking!

☽ † Glitterhell Decarabia Sweater Review † ☾

☽ † Glitterhell Decarabia Sweater Review † ☾

Bought from: Sugar Coated Sprinkles (Storenvy / Etsy)

Originally from: Glitterhell

Price: $36

The item is secondhand, only worn once. It was lovely and clean when I got it. The original price from Glitterhell is $40. I have been dying for one of these ever since I laid eyes on it but I always miss out on restocks at Glitterhell because they sell out so quickly and I'm probably in the worst possible timezone to try and get one. I think for the quality, the original design that both prices are fair to ask.

Shipping: $5.40

Shipped from the UK to me in Australia. Shipped three days after I paid for it, it took about 2 weeks to get to me. I think the price of shipping is really reasonable. It arrived in a yellow envelope that was lined with bubble wrap so it was nice and safe, however the tape that had secured the opening, even though it was adorable Rilakkuma tape,  had come loose so when I got it the sweater was poking out. Luckily it didn't get dirty or damaged so I'm happy.

Item:

It is a basic sweater from American Apparel with a gorgeous design printed on to it. The sweater is a lot lighter than I was expecting, thinner too but a scorching Summer is on the way so that's a good thing. It is so comfortable, the sleeves are so long yet it is the perfect size. I don't like sweaters with sleeves that don't reach past my wrists! So this is the perfect style of sweater for me.

Communication:

Rachel from Sugar Coated Sprinkles was so very helpful. I pestered her with so many questions but she answered all of them politely and quickly. I bought the sweater from her Storenvy store but used Etsy to get in contact with her. She was a delight to buy from.

Extras:

Along with the sweater there was a cute little business card and a cherry lolly, that I ate while I was panicking about bush fires. While I didn't stop panicking it did taste good.

Overall:

Glitterhell has amazing products and I am over the moon I managed to get my hands on one of their things. I've got my eye on a few shirts too. Hopefully I will be able to grab some in the next restock! Sugar Coated Sprinkles made it possible this time and I'm so thankful. She has wonderful handmade products too! Both are top notch businesses who should be proud of their wonderful products ^.^

† Kill Star Hamsa Racerback Dress Review †

† Kill Star Hamsa Racerback Dress Review †

Buy it: HERE

Price: £29.99 (-£6 with 20% summer discount)

I think this is a pretty decent price for a designer dress. It is really good quality, the print is gorgeous.100% Viskon, it is really soft and breathes wonderfully. I've been meaning to get one of these for a while and I finally have one. Their recent Summer sale sold me so I saved a little. The shape of the dress is flattering and comfortable with a loose fit for me. I struggled choosing between a goat of mendes raceback and this one but decided I preferred the symbolism of hamsa.

Shipping: £3.99

Very good shipping, posted within 24 hours after I paid for it, it arrived within about 2 weeks after I paid for it.

Extras:

I seriously love all of Kill Star's designs. Their attention to detail is a delight! If you buy one check out their tags on the clothes and labels. They have sassy little sayings on them and they just generally look amazing.

Overall:

I have hardly stopped wearing this since I got it. I have been looking for a sleeveless dress just like this for ages to rock with my Black Milk leggings and this is perfect! Kill Star is a great company and I really recommend them, they take a lot of pride in their products and it really shows. I hope you guys check them out!

Demonia Suede Bear Boots Review

I’m sorry for the quality of the photos I only have my phone for a camera and so I use instagram as a shortcut to edit them. Also this was an order and review I did back in early September 2013 before I had this blog. 

This is not a sponsored review ♥

Buy Here:  Greathotstuff eBay (Buy HERE)

Price/Quality: $86.95

For a pair of Demonia boots, that’s pretty decent really. They are fantastic quality, very sturdy, comfortable and surprisingly easy to walk in. I’ve worn them heaps and I walk everywhere. I wore them to the city when I stayed with my sister and walked pretty much through most of the cbd. I wouldn’t wear them in rain, because suede and rain don’t mix. They are not too heavy, definitely not as heavy as they look, but I’m pretty sure the sole is not hollow. Again this was a treat for me. I don’t really spend much money on shoes too often. I usually don’t see the point. But as soon as I saw these babies, I fell in love and had to have them, no regrets about the price.

Shipping: $35.95

Ouch! It was sent USPS priority so, hence the expense. Still, adding shipping and the price for the boots together is still a decent price for Demonia boots. It was the cheapest I could find them. They arrived nice and fast in a giant shoebox.

Size: 

I am a size 9 in US sizing. The store has a great little shoe size conversion chart, I’d never bought shoes in US sizing before so I was a little worried. Buying shoes online always can be a bit more risky because really sizes vary between manufacturers. They fit beautifully though.

Communication:

I actually contacted the seller before buying them. I was worried because I was going to be going off to New Zealand and that if I bought them at the time they might arrive while I was away, so I was making sure that they would still have them if I left it till I got back. They replied super fast and reassured me that they would reach me within 7 days. Which they did.

Overall:

A great pair of boots! Great service from the store. I am absolutely in love with them. They are my babies now. I have worn them so many times but they still look brand new. They are well worth it if you like this type of shoe. Check out Greathotstuff on eBay, they sell heaps of other great shoes, not just Demonia.
