Princess Apparel - Review

안녕!

A while ago I was looking for a new choker because my Ma*rs chokers don't really go that well with some of my new clothes.
I've seen people post about this shop before and also saw some pictures of it being at conventions and how the stuff looked like there and not just on pictures on the website.

I always feel like I should buy more stuff at once because then I won't have to pay shipping twice when I decide that I want something else from the shop later on, so I looked at all categories and decided on a headband and a choker. 
The headband was offered in two color options but I wanted something else and luckily this shop offers commissions. These do not cost extra and you can ask her to change the colors as you want. 
I sent her an email and asked if it was possible to change it the way I wanted to and she was really nice and explained everything I wanted to know.
It took her a few days to reply once but she apologized because she was busy and said she would try to hurry up with my order, which wouldn't have been necessary, but she was finished within 1 or 2 days
When she was done with my items she sent me a picture of everything and asked if it was okay. I then paid the invoice and she sent the items out the same day.

I thought it's really cute that the envelope had this sticker with my address on it. I'm a sucker for cute stuff and it looks really adorable.
The package also included a card with where I could find here and a thank you note. Even though everyone gets such Thank You notes, I still appreciate that she actually takes the time to print it and put it in the packages.
I always try to include Thank You notes when I sell my clothes, because I think its a small gesture but it's still nice to find it when you open your package.

Hime Pearl Choker in White

This is the choker I received, the Hime Pearl Choker in White. It looked really cute in the package. The velvet strap seemed a little dirty at first but I could just brush it off. I love the cross with the small pearls on it. It's not too light to make it feel cheap but also not too heavy to be painful after wearing it for a couple hours. I already wore it to the Dokomi Convention in Germany and it made my outfit a lot cuter.
I don't have anything to complain about and I'm already planning on buying the same in black.

Demon Headband

 This is the headband that I requested in these colors. On the website you have either black or red roses with the devil horns but no white. The lace is really pretty and feels good. The roses feel a little cheap but you can't see it when you wear it. I like that the headband was wrapped with fabric because it can sometimes hurt a little and this 'cushions' it a little. The ends were not made that well but you can see that either because the ends are in your hair and no one will see that.
The roses are the only thing that bother me but other than that the headband is really cute!

I would definitely recommend this shop, especially to people in Europe.
You get really cute and unique items with fast shipping.
I'm already planning to order another choker and earrings from her!

Galeo by Black Diamond Online Shop Review

안녕!

I'm way too lazy with reviews sometimes but I wanted to write about my experience with the Galeo online shop. 
I fell in love with this 'Fluffy zip-up Parka' when I see pictures of it and was thinking about getting it for about a month. 
You can find it  --HERE--

Timeline:

04/03  Ordered the Parka
04/03 Got a confirmation Email
05/03 Shipping Confirmation
07/03 Email from the post office with the trackingnumber
14/03 Package was delivered

This is the first time that I got an email from the post office and I was confused for two days and actually sent them a message because I paid for EMS and wanted the tracking number. 
I'm quite pleased with the service, except for not letting me know that I will get the second tracking number later on. They shipped the package out real quick and I didn't even have to go to customs to get it. I did have to pay for it at the door but I would have payed anyway and I prefer doing it at the door instead of waiting days to get a letter and going there. 

I paid about 80€ with shipping + custom fees. 
The parka is just a sweater but I love how soft and fluffy it is. It feels really nice when you wear it. I didn't wear it outside yet because it just keeps on raining and I'm always careful with my clothes...at first. 
I do have to point out that it is quite thin. I talked to another girl who said it's warm enough but also said that it's thin. It also left some fluff on my shirt that I wore underneath it and I'm a little concerned about how long it's actually gonna last me. 
If you're a fan of Black Diamond, then it's definitely worth it. It's a little too pricey for the quality but if you don't mind paying that much and like the look of it, then you should get it because it's still really soft and looks perfect *^*. 

Pros:

❤︎ Email Updates
❤︎ English Website
❤︎ Very soft fabric
❤︎ Fast Shipping
❤︎ D.I.A. looking items which you don't need a shopping service for 

Cons:

✘ Pricey
✘ They take a few days to reply to messages
✘ The 'Parka' is a little too thin
✘ Only one size
✘ Only one shipping method
✘ Value of the order on the outside/No marking down
It's really up to you and if you think that the Pros outweigh the Cons. I hope this review will help and you can shoot me a message if you have any questions or requests

Shoppies Review

안녕!

My 1oth post already! Not that much....but for a newbie it's kind of a lot? Especially for someone like me who is quite lazy when it comes to blogging. 

I should apologize for taking such a long time again, even though I said I wanted to try to have a new post up faster than the last time. 
I had a really busy week and wasn't even home this weekend because I stayed over at a friends, so there wasn't much time to write a post and edit pictures.


I was planning to blog about this website since the beginning and that's why I wanted to make a blog in the first place. 
It seems like not many people know about this shopping site or they just don't trust the site because other girls don't talk about it and there are no reviews anywhere. 
The website I'm talking about is 

http://shoppies.jp/

I found the this site when I was looking for my pink D.I.A. dress. I couldn't find it on mbok and yahoo auctions and just tried googling for it. This site came up as one of the search results. 

I was hesitant at first but thought I should give it a try because I just really wanted to have this dress. 

This is what the front page looks like. You can search what you're looking for in the top bar. 
I like that you can register on here. When I first found the site, you couldn't register an account and you had to do everything on your mobile phone. Which is kind of annoying because you can't download the app in this country.
I made an account so I could see the comments beneath the pictures since the sellers sometimes say that the things aren't available anymore or you can just see when they replied the last time to avoid inactive sellers. 
I'll mention this again later in the post. 

Another good thing about having your own account is that you can press a small heart icon under the pictures and save things you like in a list. That way you don't have to bookmark the sites to keep track of the things you like. 

These are the two things that I got. 
You can see when the items were posted on the website beneath the picture like on the second picture under the white jumpsuit. 
If you found something that was posted over a year ago, you can look at the profile of the seller and look at the last thing they posted to see when the last time was and if they could still be active. Even if it was a long time ago, you can still have your shopping service comment on the items and ask if they are available. 

You can also check the sellers for their past feedback and make sure they are trustworthy before you buy from them. 
You can see this small feedback when you view the item

To see all the details and what people have said about the seller, you have to register though.

Then you can go to their profile and look at the feedback.

As far as I know every shopping service will order from this website. I already had Japonica Market and Japan Auction order for me. FromJapan also confirmed that they would order from this website and I'm pretty sure that Jamie would also work with it. 
There are a few other websites, which I could also review if people would want me to, that you need to have a mobile phone for. One of them is a really good website but only one of my shopping services would order from it. 

Anyway, these are the two/five things that I got:
I don't know if I just missed something in the description of the first item because I don't know japanese and have to use a translator. Or if they really did not say anything about the extras that they were going to send along with the one I paid for. 
But I didn't just get the pink dress. I got d.i.a pants, a shirt and a cardigan with it. 

I'm actually really surprised because the clothes were all in mint condition and the shirt even had tags on it. I was really lucky that I found this offer.

The second thing was this Liz Lisa Jumpsuit which wasn't in perfect condition but it's good enough and I can't complain. 

So far I really can't complain about this website and won't stop using it anytime soon. 

Pros:

❤︎ Works with all Shopping services
❤︎ You can have your own account
❤︎ You have a favorite list
❤︎ ❤︎ You can find rare clothes
❤︎ You can talk to the seller through comments 
❤︎ You see the feedback of the seller

Cons:

✘ You need to make an account to see certain features
✘ Japonica Market charges 1000¥ per item (I'm not sure about other SS's)

I love that I can find rare clothes on there and will definitely use it again. I'm already watching a bag on there again. Someone stop me from buying it......


Also.

I want to thank Berri who had to deal with me for like 3 months now because I bought shoes from her and the german post just couldn't deliver them. They sent them back to her and she had to ship them to me a second time. 

I finally got them and they are just beautiful!! Thank you for the cute letter and the extra bag. ❤︎
I can't post pictures of me wearing them now because my feet are rebelling because of too much walking lately >_< I'll post them another time though! Probably in summer when I can actually wear them outside. Thank you again!! 

That's it for now. 
Tell me what you think, what you would like me to post about it or just what you don't like or want me to improve on in the comments below.
