Little Pink kitten shop review


Hello everyone! Today I am going to be reviewing the Little Pink Kitten Shop.
Little Pink Kitten is an etsy shop that specializes in beautiful handcrafted collars, chokers, garters, and harnesses. If these types of items interest you, I highly suggest you check it out because everything is made so beautifully and honestly if I could I would buy out the entire shop. Miss Rose, the shopkeeper, even does custom orders if you shoot her an email!

Here we go! I placed my order on April 1st, I got a shipment notification on April 15th, and I received the package on May 4th. It was a little over a month wait which should be expected because everything is hand made and was shipped overseas from Australia. Miss Rose also states the approximate shipping and processing times which were helpful.

I bough the Little Secrets choker, Lovely Heart Garter, Velvet Angel choker, and the Velvet Angel garter.

Here are some pictures of the package when it arrived:

As you can see, it was packaged very nicely. I loved the cute little pouch that my garters and chokers were placed in. It was also bubble wrapped to ensure that nothing was damaged. I even got a cute little heart shaped 'Thank you' card AND a free little flower head band which I wasn't expecting but was delighted to receive! (Please excuse the terrible lighting, my room isn't very good with lighting despite my using a good camera.)


The garters and chokers are very well made. I like that the chokers come with a ribbon so I can adjust it around my neck myself. I also love the cute little bows and the bells on the chokers. The ruffles are such a nice touch to them too. Honestly I feel like a princess wearing such nice things. The lovely heart garter comes with two little clips to clip on to a pair of thigh highs. I'm happy to say that the clips actually held on to the thigh highs (I was afraid my socks would slip out of the clips while wearing the garter and walking around and whatnot)


I had sooooo much fun wearing these so I took a ton of outfit photos so you can see how it fits! If you prefer to see my ratings on the items instead, just scroll all the way down to the bottom!
Photo time!

Rating Time!!!

Overall I give this shop a 10/10. Why? 
  • The chokers and garters are beautifully hand crafted
  • They are reasonably priced and they fit wonderful! 
  • The shipping time is long, but Miss Rose clearly states so on her shop so there are no surprises. 
  • Everything was carefully packaged so there was absolutely no damage
  • The package comes with a cute little Thank you note (I always appreciate those)
I can definitely say that I will continue to be a customer here. I know that this shop has many good reviews so I am not surprised by the wonderful service!

Please check out The Little Pink Kitten Shop!

Side note: I apologize. This is perhaps the messiest review I have ever written and posted. I was having such terrible camera and lighting problems and just really don't have the time to fix it all right now. I wanted to have this all done within the same week of receiving my package but I ended up posting this a full month later due to my busy schedule and the fact that the camera kept giving me problems. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy the information in this review at least!

YoYo Melody Review




Hello everyone! Today I'm going to be reviewing the black short sleeve chiffon dress from YoYo Melody.



For those of you who have never heard of this website, it is on online store based in China that sells a large array of fashionable items for reasonable prices. If you register on the site with the code "yoyo5off" you get $5 off your first purchase! 

I wouldn't say that this review is sponsored exactly because I used the money that I made from cooperating with them to buy the dress. Either way, my opinions and thoughts on this dress remain aunthentic.


Now on to the review:
I placed my order on January 30th and received the dress on February 21st which wasn't all that bad. I was expecting a much longer wait but it got to me in less than a month which was really exciting. Here are some pictures:


The outer packaged was just a little ripped up but inner covering with the dress was still prefectly in tact.


And here is the full dress. Please excuse the poor image quality, I was unable to obtain a better camera at the time to take the opening pictures. (I do have better quality images of the dress below)

 
The quality of the dress is really nice. I loved the mesh part on top of the dress; I thought that the mesh would be too thin but it isn't so I don't have to worry about it tearing easily (which is a plus). It has a zipper to the side, buttons on the sleeves, and a button for the collar. It is sewn together rather nicely so I don't fear the dress falling apart. Here is the stock image: 


My only issue with the dress is the collar. When buttoned up it is supposed to have that cute little open space in between the fabric on the chest as shown, however the collar doesn't allow the fabric to do that. The collar is also hard to keep down while buttoned up so I took the rest of the pictures with the collar down and unbuttoned.


Here are better quality photos:


I hope the rest of the images made up for the poorer ones earlier! Now its time for the rating:

Shipping: 
It shipped sooner than expected but I admit I was always worried about it getting lost in the mail because the tracking information that was given to me didn't update itself often.


Quality:
The dress is beautiful; I absolutely love it. I love the mesh top and how light and sturdy the dress is. The stitching is done nicely as well. Usually when I buy from these types of store, the stitching is poorly done and I have to restitch it myself. Not the case with this dress! My only problem was with the collar and the fabric around it. The length was also a bit too short for my liking (but that wasn't a problem because I just wore lace shorts underneath it).

Comfort:
The dress was soft and light. It fit nicely with my shape and could easily be taken off with the zipper on the side (I hate dresses without a zipper of some sort).

Look:
Black dresses are perfect because they really go with anything. I can think of a number of shoes and accessories and tights that would go great with this dress.


Overall:
I am very happy with my experience from YoYo Melody and would purchase from them again. If you haven't checked them out, please do!



Thank you so much for reading, have a lovely day!

Great Gifts for the Holidays




Ohai guys! Here I'm going to include a list of some gift ideas for the holidays as well as some websites for gift shopping! Many of these sites I have gone to for Christmas shopping every year and so I thought it'd be nice to share these with you.

First I'll start off with some gift boxes:

Kawaii Box is a monthly subscription service (that you can cancel anytime) in which a box containing cute items handpicked directly from Japan and Korea are sent to you (or any address you put down). Its only $18 and the boxes usually contain 9-11 items that can include keychains, hair/ear/other accessories, stationary items, plushes, and whatnot. If you're unsure about such a service: I've put together a personal review of them. I'm currently subscribed to them I honestly think they can provide a perfect gift for the holidays. You can read my review here!
Here are some previous boxes that have been sent out to give you an idea of the kinds of items that are in the Kawaii Box:







Now for the Second kind of gift box:

I am also subscribed to Loot Crate. This is also a monthly subscription service very similar to Kawaii Box (again you can cancel anytime and send the box anywhere; super easy). The only difference with Loot Crate is the kind of items that they put in their box. Their monthly boxes feature video game and comic gear. Its a perfect gift for a friend who loves video games and comics. This box is $21 a month but has a $40+ retail value in every one of their crates. If anyone wants me to do a review on their service, just let me know.
Here are some past crates:





For the next gift box:
This box is again like the other two. My Lita features boxes that include sweet fairy kei accessories in their Lita box or creepy cute/gothic accessories in their Ember box. They have different box sixes: the smaller box is $25 and the bigger one is $39. They are a relatively new service and they just sent out their first set of boxes. Unfortunately they don't have pictures of their items yet (they don't want to spoil anything until everyone receives their boxes). However you can check out their affiliates to help give you an idea of the kinds of items they may carry in their box.


Here are some great websites to check out if you don't want to buy an entire box of goodies!
  • Think Geek -- Features a huge selection of geeky gadgets and whatnot. This is a perfect site to shop at if your friends are into comics, sci-fi, or videogames.
  • This Is Why I'm Broke -- is dubbed the internet mall. It takes the coolest/cutest/geekiest things from all over the internet and allows you to buy them in one place.
  • Etsy -- has so many kawaii and neat handmade items to choose from. Here are some of my favorite shops: Knicker Rocker, Miss Bajo, Cafe Sweeten, Loli Millie, Nastal Game, Little Banshees.
  • Storenvy -- sells mostly wholesale clothing items. But you can find a lot of really cute accessories and whatnot as well. Its a place to check out but I'm not sure it'd be the greatest place for gift shopping.

Happy shopping, Happy Holidays, and thank you for reading!!

November Kawaii Box Review



Hello! Today I'm going to be doing a review of the November Kawaii Box! This is not sponsored; it is purely for fun and also because I want to introduce you to their service if you don't already know about it.

So what is Kawaii Box? It is a monthly subscription service where you pay $18 a month to receive a box full of 10-11 handpicked goodies straight from Korea and Japan. What's really exciting is that you don't know what comes in the box that month until AFTER you receive it!!! I don't know about you, but I love surprises. Anyways, lets get down to business!

I started my subscription in late October and was notified that I would be getting the November box. It was shipped on November 4th and I received it on November 12th. Here is what the package looked like:

It was packed nicely. The box was a little banged up but everything inside was in perfect shape. Lets take a look at what's inside: 









In total, here is what this month's box featured:


  • 1 panda sticker set
  • 1 pair of My Melody socks
  • 1 sheep 2014-1015 calendar
  • 1 box of chocolate Pocky
  • 1 zipper bracelet
  • 1 plush Pusheen keychain
  • 1 macaron cell phone charm
  • 1 small bundle lace stationary stickers
  • 1 set of little adhesive paper
  • 1 'OMG' keycahin
RATING TIME! *insert cute little emoji here*

Shipping: 5/5 According to their website, once shipped the box should arrive within two weeks and my box arrived just fine!

Content: 5/5 This month's items were beyond cute. It came with a good amount of items and I have found a use for all of them so far and am looking forward to December's box!

Quality: 5/5 All of the items are in good shape. Nothing has fallen apart and the socks even fit! (I personally think my feet are big aha)

Overall: 5/5 I am so happy with my box. The cuteness blew me away. I loved the handwritten note; was so nice and personal and the I could tell the box was packaged carefully with love. I am happy to say that I will continue my subscription with them and continue to give reviews on their boxes. 

Please go check Kawaii Box out! You can subscrive and send yourself a gift every month or send the box as a gift to someone you love! I personally think its  great deal; you get a good amount of cute items for less than 20 bucks!
Thank you for reading. Have a lovely day!
