Hanging out with a friend and a followup with Yumetenbo

Hello everyone!

I had been contemplating on creating a lifestyle post or "life-post", a post that basically goes on about the daily happenings that takes place in my life. I haven't created one as of yet, and am a bit hesitant to do so, since I am still a bit private when it comes to personal affairs. However, it doesn't hurt to try out new things, and that is exactly what I am going to do here! Also, I am pretty sure that you all might be getting bored from my constant haul posts, which I will be doing in this post later on anyway! xD Really need to start getting on the craft train already!

Anyway, I hung out with my friend on Victoria Day, which was on last Monday. I will not mention her name for privacy reasons, but we had mainly gone to H&M for our shopping needs. :) Here are a couple of outfit shots that I had taken while I was in the change room. I was very excited about this outfit, since I had gotten the opportunity to incorporate a couple of my latest Yumetenbo pieces into it.

More Random Purchases!

Hello everyone!

I had been eager on wanting to make a crafts post for quite some time, but had never gotten around to doing it, which is a shame since I already have a ton of ideas in mind that are stored in the form of sticky notes stuck on an inspiration board. I had realized how messy my desk is and I had been slowly cleaning for goodness-knows how many days. ^^; On the bright side, I had been making a bunch of bows after realizing that I am dangerously low on them, especially on pink ones! (though lavender and sax bows doesn't hurt to make as well) Why would I be making some instead of just buying them you may ask? Well, I had already bought a ton of stuff off of some of the sites and I wanted to give my wallet a rest by keeping my hands busy. In the meantime, feel free to see some more purchases that I had made during my break and then some! 

I had decided to *gasp* place a couple of orders off of Gyaru Comm Sales. This is a pretty big step for me, since 1) I haven't placed an order from there before and 2) The site isn't really an actual store but rather a bunch of sellers and buyers gathered in one place. None-the-less, I was looking around to see if there were any good bargains available, particularly on Liz Lisa, since I did not own any from that brand. Now I am just picky with any particular type of clothing material, especially Liz Lisa, but I had managed to find something. How exciting! My first official brand clothing item, or so I thought.

I had bought this Liz Lisa dress that still has a tag on it. At first I had thought that it was authentic , until I had checked the tag that is...   

Really love the print on the dress!

An Extensive Rakuten Yumetenbo Review Part 2

This blog post is just a continuation from the previous review that I had done on Yumetenbo. The link to that blog post can be found here. 

Just like with the other part of the blog post, this part of the review is going to be just as extensive, though it will only "truly" be extensive in the sense of constant picture spamming of detailed product shots.

An Extensive Rakuten Yumetenbo Review Part 1

Hello everyone!

Before I start, I would just like to warn you that this review is going to be intensively and extensively long, since I will try my best to provide as much of an in-depth review on Yumetenbo as possible!

It seems that I had let time get the best of me yet again, but when you are in the middle of finals at the very moment anything goes! Anyway, lately I had been finding myself lacking the motivation or the drive to "frill-up" and dress myself up in Hime clothes. Not only that, but I realized that I have not changed up my wardrobe in over two years! In fact, some of my clothes were leftovers from my junior high to high school days! Yes I had added some pieces here and there, but generally overall it hasn't really changed.

To keep my wardrobe from getting even more stagnant, I had cleaned it out a while back and am now on an online shopping spree. One of the websites that I had been eying for quite some time now is Rakuten, specifically Yumetenbo. Apparently being well known for their affordable prices and cute clothes, Yumetenbo is pretty much the "Forever 21 or H&M" of the Gyaru world. Now I am absolutely sure that this is all common knowledge to most of the people by now, and I had actually been aware of this site for what seems to be ages. I just haven't gotten around to placing an order up until now, though why haven't I done so earlier is beyond me.

Before actually placing an order, I had done some thorough research on basically everything you can think of under the sun. What are the precise shoe sizes? How exactly do the clothes fit in terms of sizing? Did the order process drastically changed from the old reviews commonly found via Google? To make a long story short, it seems to me that I had found more of old reviews compared to new reviews. In addition, I noticed that a majority of the reviews did little to help me answer the questions posted above. Not saying that all of them did not help me out in some sort of way, since I did find a couple of exceptions. Just simply saying that most of them were not really helpful in answering questions in terms of sizing.
