• Buy here..$16.99

Shipping: Free!

It was sent 3 days after I paid for it. Once it was posted Thala, from Pastel Morgue, sent me a email with information about my order and with helpful tips of what to do if anything went wrong. It was polite, straightforward and I felt like if there was an issue she would have been easy to talk to. It arrived in a thick plastic envelope about 14 days after it was marked as posted. The garment was in it's own plastic and was undamaged in transit. That's a good shipping service in my opinion.

Item/Quality:

The garment can be worn as just a high waisted skirt or with the suspenders attached. They fasten on with buttons and have two button holes so the straps can be adjusted to two different lengths. There were a few extra threads on my item but they were clipped off easily. The material is a nice cotton blend, and not to heavy. On my shape the skirt is quite short. I have to wear shorts or a petticoat underneath it so you can't see my bum. I'm looking for a good petticoat and will recommend one when I buy it. I really love this skirt, its so cute and looks great with a printed tee and printed tights.

Overall:

This was a great bargain for this skirt, it looks adorable and I love it even if it is a little short on me. This was a really smooth easy process with the seller and I would not hesitate to buy from her again ^.^

❤ Brave Store - Another Tights Review ❤

• Bow Suspender Tights - $12 $10.80 (10% off CULTFAWN promo code)
• Heart Suspender Tights - $5 $4.50 (10% off CULTFAWN promo code)
• Winding Ribbon Tights - Gift (Not Available)

Shipping: $5

The tights were shipped within 24 hours and arrived separately within about a day of each other after a bit over 2 weeks. The shipping was slower than usual because these were bought just before Christmas, so no worries there. They were wrapped up in durable plastic envelopes/packaging that kept them safe and in tact for their whole journey. As always Brave Store has a great shipping service.

Item/Quality:

Firstly, I will talk about the two I paid for. I really love them, they are both cute and sexy and I have already had a few compliments while wearing them, which is always nice. My favourite would have to be the bow suspenders. The heart and bow suspenders feel sturdy and comfortable, no holes yet and I have worn and washed them a couple of times already. The bow suspenders are longer so really good for taller people. The heart suspenders fit me just right but I feel if I was any taller (I'm around 5'8) they might have the habit of getting pulled down. The only thing I have noticed that isn't quite right is where the dark fabric meets the nude nylon, the fabric has frayed excess fabric on the inside. The hearts and bows get a blurred edge or slightly misshapen because of this. If you look in the pictures you may notice it. I'm sure if they were carefully trimmed it might reduce this, I just have not got around to doing it yet and it doesn't really bother me that much.

The ribbon tights, in the bottom right picture, are really cute however they are quite small for me. I do have to wear shorts over them to keep them up and they got ladders as soon as I put them on (you can see it down the side of my left calf) which makes me think the fabric is probably a bit weaker too. Lovely Jane, owner of Brave Store, sent them to me as a gift which I am so grateful for though. I still think they are gorgeous, the ribbons are printed on the fabric and look like they wrap all the way around your thighs and ankles. However, if you are interested n getting yourself a pair, they would be better suited to people who are a bit shorter than me ^.^

Overall:

I love them all, I don't normally do ratings but I'd give the bow and heart suspender tights a solid 4/5 and the ribbon tights a 3/5 simply because I'm too tall for them. Brave Store will always be one of my favourite stores, Jane is always polite and friendly, she gets your orders filled quickly and they arrive nice and fast for such a reasonable shipping fee. Thank you so much for my gift too Jane I really do appreciate it!

† Dolls Kill - Lip Service & Toki Doki Review †

† Dolls Kill - Lip Service & Toki Doki Review †

Lip Service Desperately Seeking Daggers leggings - $40 Sale 50% off: $20

Toki Doki Blind Box - $12 Sale 50% off: $6

Shipping: $20

It was shipped just a few hours after I paid for it and I received it a bit over a week later. The website says 4 days for delivery, it took 7 working days to get to me. That is still good but when the site says 4 days and I don't get it in 4 days I do get anxious. Luckily it was all trackable by DHL and I could see where it was and what time it left each location, all the way to Australia. So even though it was late, by only a few days, I would say their shipping is very reasonable. It was in good sturdy packaging, and surprisingly my blind box wasn't squashed in transit.

Price:

The total, including shipping, was $46. For the quality of the leggings and the figurine I think it was fairly decent. I bought these when there was a 50% off sale at Dolls Kill. I was super excited about the leggings because they were something that had been on my wish list. The figurine, I love Toki Doki, but I mostly decided to throw that in so I would be actually still be saving a little on the leggings haha. Turns out I was actually saving big time on the Toki Doki figurine too.

Item/Quality:

For the blind box I actually think I got a good deal. For me to by from the Toki Doki website the figurine would be $8 but the shipping for just the 2 inch figure would have been $50 (what the actual fuck...how can it be that expensive?!). Sadly it wasn't the design I wanted from the Unicornos, but that's the whole idea of a blind box haha. It is a well made very cute vinyl figurine is a great addition to my collection of figurines.

The leggings are super comfy. I love their design and they fit really well. They are well made, cotton and elastic material, made in the USA. They have a sturdy zip at the back and you cant see my undies through them when I bend over (big bonus when it comes to leggings!) My ass looks nice in them too ;D

Overall:

Would buy from Dolls Kill again, they were super fast at processing and I could not find a problem at all with my order. I am even more sold on the brand Lip Service, beautiful clothes that are well made and affordable!

† Choies Suspender Skirt Review †

† Choies Suspender Skirt Review †

Bought from Choies

Price: $39.00 $19.90 (New Member discount)

I think the original price is a bit much for the quality of the product but when you join up and make an account with Choies you earn points which can be spent to discount the price. The discounted price is much more reasonable.

This dress is no longer available from Choies, but I have seen it elsewhere.

Shipping: Free

It took about 2 weeks to get to me with a tracking number, so I was able to track my item. I think this was really reasonable. They offer express shipping too though if you are in a hurry.

Item/Quality:

This dress is super cute, I really do love it but I have to say I'm also a little disappointed. When it arrived it had a few loose/extra threads which were easily cut off. The biggest downfall with this dress is the fabric and design. I had to add a clasp over the top of the zip because otherwise the zip would just keep falling undone through out the day. The fabric, polyester I believe, after one wash started to ball up and become rough. I still wear it but the fabric is looking a lot shabbier so I can't pull it off for some occasions.

Overall:

A really cute dress, I got what I paid for but only because of a discount. This dress, in my opinion, is not quite worth $40. Choies seem to be a reliable company, their shipping service was excellent and they give a generous amount of points for your first purchase. This is the only thing I have bought from them so I can't comment on the quality/price of all of their products.

☽ † 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 ^.^

BlackMilk Leggings 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 July 2013 before I had this blog. 

This is not a sponsored review ♥

Tentacular Leggings LIMITED - $75 (Buy HERE)

Beetlejuice Leggings - $75 (Buy HERE)

Shipping: Free.

Black Milk offers free international and domestic shipping. It is based in Brisbane Australia so it was shipped express to me in Sydney. It arrived the day after I received the shipping confirmation email. It was packed in a black ziplock packet with the BM logo on it.

Easter Eggs/Extras:

I’d like to mention that you get a few little quirky bonuses each time you buy. I got a little sticker which I put on my 3ds, you get a humorous letter/reciept and their washing instructions were like a little biblical listing of commandments which also gave me a giggle.

Price: $150.

These are a little pricier and sort of a treat for me. I’ve wanted a pair for a while so I saved up. In all honesty I think they are a little overpriced but the quality is great, I’m supporting an Australian business and fair trade workmanship. They are made really well and the fabric is good quality, plus these are designer leggings so of course they are going to be expensive.

Size:

I was a little worried about sizing. From their chart I was between an XXS and an XS. They advise you to go for the smaller size if you are in the middle but not all the designs offer XXS. I just decided to go for XS. I asked for advice on the facebook page and was met with helpful suggestions and was told I could exchange them if they were not the right sizing. The sizing is just fine for me, in fact I think an XXS might have been a little bit too tight for me. The fabric is really stretchy so it would have fit but I think if they had been XXS the colouring would have paled a little from stretching. With the XS I do have a little extra room on my legs but it doesn’t look unappealing or baggy.

Item/Quality/Material:

I love them to bits. I’ve had a few compliments which is always nice. My Beetlejuice leggings, because they have white stripes, I had to buy some skin coloured underwear though. Anything else is visible underneath them. They are a nylon/spandex blend so stretchy, thick and tight..and shiny….and beautiful.

Overall:

I think they are worth every penny, even though it is a stretch for my little wallet I do not regret buying them. They will get lots of wear and I am following the 15th commandment each time wearing them feeling like a ‘hot little boss’. These are the only leggings I have come across where I think it is okay to wear them as pants haha.

Cat Ear Bowler Hat 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 July 2013 before I had this blog. This is not a sponsored review ♥

(No longer available where I purchased)

Price: $6.99

Shipping: Free. 

It arrived pretty quick after being shipped the day after I paid for it. However, considering it is a shaped bowler style hat, it was not packed very well. When it arrived it was squashed into a plastic bag. I’m lucky my mum was once a milliner so I could borrow her hat blocks and steamer and reshape it properly. I think even if I didn’t have access to that it would shape just fine with wear, it just would take longer and be more fiddly.

Item:

I think it’s really cute! I’m more of a beanie person but I really like this little hat. It’s made of wool, could probably be stretched a little if you have the means and you want it a little bigger. It’s of decent quality and should last me a while.

Size: I was worried it wouldn’t fit my big noggin but it does just fine.

Overall: I am delighted with my purchase, I think I will get lots of wear out of it and it’s a very cute little piece. Though I do warn people that you may struggle to get it shaped nicely after it’s been squished in the mail :c

Zipper Mouth Sweater - eBay 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 June 2013 before I had this blog. This is not a sponsored review ♥

(Sold out now)

Price: $11.59

Shipping: 

It was free, it was marked as shipped the day after I bought it on the 21st of May. It arrived 3 days before the estimated time, on the 4th of June c: So thats 2 weeks exactly. It arrived undamaged and in good basic packaging.

Size: 

I got an XL, I read the measurements and knew this was not going to be huge on me (I’m a smaller size generally). So as you can see above sadly it is asian sizing and not made for western bodies. Still it’s a fine fit for me.

Item: 

It’s a really soft and cuddly cotton blend, I really love it. It’s perfect for winter. Very comfortable. The Zip is sturdy and will put up with me constantly zipping and unzipping. The design is so adorable from the big blue eyes down to the little ears on the shoulders.

Overall: 

Love it. Totally worth it, how could you say no at $11? It’s quality is incredible for that price.

Brave Store: Kitty Flatforms & Cat Ear Beanie 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 May 2013 before I had this blog. This is not a sponsored review ♥

Cat Beanie: $6 $5.40 (10% discount “CULTFAWN”)

I am a lover of beanies and hats. This one is no exception. I love it, I’ve worn it heaps and like the way it looks on my noggin. Its nice a stretchy so it fits well and is a pretty nice quality.

Kitty Flatforms: $40 $36 (10% discount “CULTFAWN”)

I was really worried about sizing. I am an in between size usually, a 38-38.5  EUR sizing in shoes. I bought a pair of wedges off a different store on ebay as a 38 and they are a little small on me. So I contacted Jane (Brave Store) to ask for her opinion, she said they were pretty true to size. So I decided to try a 38 again. They are the PERFECT size. I’m so glad I didn’t get the size 39. They are comfortable and sturdy. Really good quality I don’t feel like they will fall apart any time soon.

Shipping: $4

Shipping is dang reasonable for a pair of shoes and a beanie. They arrived separately, both in good condition, about 15 days after being posted.

Communication: 
As always Jane was very helpful and friendly, always happy to take on my annoying questions. Brave is a very reliable store, and has always been good to me. I will always recommend to others.

Overall: 
Another great purchase from a great store :) I can’t think of anything negative to tell you. Perhaps just a general “Always check your shoes size”, shoe sizing can have slight variations amongst manufacturers. A 38 from one place may be half a centimetre smaller than a 38 from a different manufacturer, and that can be half a centimetre too small. However in this case the size was perfect for me.
