Review: H.Naoto San Francisco Store USA Shopping Service

Hello, again. So I am doing a review on my experience with H.Naoto USA's Shopping Service. If some are not aware, H.Naoto speicalize is gothic/punk clothing. In San Francisco they have a shop opened up here last October so the USA buyers have easy access. In my opinion the shop is still a bit limited in carrying items as I am comparing to looking at the online Japan store of H.Naoto. There are lots of items I wanted from the Japan H.Naoto store (that is no in the USA store), but it's quite expensive. Despite they have a World H.Naoto Web Shop they only ship by EMS which is already $20+ at the start. So this November the H.Naoto USA Store and the World Web Shop worked together so that I could obtain some items from the H.Naoto Japan that were not in the USA store.

I was quite confused because I live in San Francisco where the H.Naoto shop is. Looking an reviewing on their policies about the Shopping Service I was quite confused still because I really wanted to get the items with free shipping and just pay the CA taxes. So I called the H.Naoto Store in San Francisco and the employer help clarify that if I did order and choose in the order to  "pick-up item in H.Naoto SF" then there was no shipping fee charge. So at the World Web Shop, on Nov. 23rd I ordered a Mint Neko Ribbon Alligator Hair Clip (Pink/Black/Silver). Maybe about 12 hours later they invoiced me that the total price I had to pay and there was no shipping fee (hurray!). So I proceeded with the order.

The very next day I saw this they just released a Mint Neko Scarf (Black/White) and in the Japan H.Naoto Site it said it was the "last one" so I couldn't help but purchase it immediately on the World Web Shop (I was very luckily they updated immediately because it tends to take days to update new items on their World Web). So I was waited a day or two to get my invoice and they did invoice me, but they charged me with shipping fee of $5.60. I was like telling myself wait did I not press "pick up H.Naoto SF". I double checked and I did. So I was quite confused since the lady at the San Francisco H.Naoto store told me that there was no shipping fee. Well unfortunately I really wanted it so I paid anyways. They got back to me a week (I think) and they told me they were going to ship both the scarf & hair clip combine (which was nice of them to do) on Dec 8-Dec. 15th. But around Dec. 8th I got an email from them asking if I was picking it up at the store. I replied to them yes I am. Then a day later they sent me back partial payment of my money (the shipping fee) and I was relieved to hear that. They told me in response they refunded (partially) my money and that the item was ready for pick-up when I got that response on Dec. 11th.


Mint Neko Scarf (Black/White)

So the very next day of course it was Dec. 12th I picked up my items. I was very excited to take it out and didn't get to take pictures of the bag and package it was in. I was worried to see how it would turn out since there is a 50/50 of it looked better at the stock photo than the actual one. I was very pleased with my Mint Neko Scarf (Black/White)  It was longer than I thought. It is enough to wrap two people. I love how I can make it super long and then shorter. I prefer the long length more. Other than the little print of the mint neko I thought was clearly screenprinted on instead of stitched on. But I was deceived by the stock photo. Since it's really woolly and woven the print will fall off of the scarf easily once I put it in the washer. Even stretching the scarf will damage the darn print. It really should have been stitch on even a patch would've been nice. I think I have handwash it (despite the tags says it is okay at the washer) because of the darn pompoms. >_< But I may put it in the washer anyways because I'm too lazy to handwash.

Look how long and short it can go and I am a 5'1".

Mint Neko Ribbon Alligator Hair Clip (Pink/Black/Silver)

So next I took out the Mint Neko Ribbon Alligator Hair Clip (Pink/Black/Silver). Sorry I have no pictures of the wrapping, but it was well nicely wrapped. But I knew what I saw on the image. The color was obviously orange and not pink as stated in the description of their Website. Orange isn't my favorite color that's why.... I obviously knew it was orange, but I truly wanted to believe it when they said it was pink. So I took my gamble anyways knowing that it looked orange despite description said pink. Everything about this items turned out as I wanted it to be including it being orange. I wish it really was pink because it would be perfect. I'll still keep it anyways since it is the color that bothers me. You can see the difference of pink and orange by the other ones they sold of this in a slightly different color version. As for the material it is nice and soft. It feel a bit chiffon like material, but as I said I enjoyed everything about it except it's orange.

The difference of the orange and pink on different colors version of this item. (these second colors is pink).

this is the orange one (including mine)

I still love both my items and will definitely keep them for a very long time. I got to watch out sometimes items online look different from the actual item. I know now (I think) that when they do purchase they will charge you with shipping fee at first, but later refund it to confirm if you are going to pick the item up at the H.Naoto San Francisco Store. Will definitely be using their shopping services again. ^-^ Hope that helped. Can't wait for luckypacks from H.Naoto SF Store next (this) year, but unfortunately I will not be able to attend as I will be on vacation. Someone is suppose to stand in line for me instead. So toodles and Happy Holidays~!

Adventure: Angelic Pretty San Francisco 2nd Anniversary Tea Party

So last week November 18th I went to the Angelic Pretty San Francisco 2nd Anniversary Tea Party that was hosted at St. West Francis 12th floor. I previously went to their 1st Anniversary that was near the Neiman Marcus at Union Square. And I really enjoyed last year a lot so I decided I had to go again (also an old high school friend was attending also) this year. The social group, the atmosphere, and the prizes were worth the money.

This year I was #13 because I think sorted out by those who purchase their tickets instead of coming at the door like last year. I was wearing a Angelic Pretty Tartan RedxBlack Low-Waisted JSK along an Angelic Pretty White Short Sleeve Blouse. So I did not take too much pictures, but first thing I noticed were the prizes at the table. All the prizes were gorgeous. \*A*/

I forgot to take a picture the snack they pass out, but it was egg sandwich, cucumber sandwich, roasted salmon with cottage cheese on top with a bit of parsel and under the roasted salmon was a hard sourdough slice holding it all. I really enjoy the roasted salmon. There were starbucks decaffeinated drink, hot water, apple juice, cold water, orange juice, and I forgot the other one.

So went socializing around. I really enjoy talking to other lolitas. We tend to have good group discussion with one another about general things and the conversation carries on.

Then there was cupcakes as desert. We get to put our own topping, but I really enjoy this small crunchy chocolate on my cupcake. It's really good. The vanilla was better than other vanilla cupcakes I've have had, but the chocolate was just VERY delicious. It was mouth watering and also it made me very thirsty. I wish I could have taken it home with me like they did last year.

They did a bit of group picture for all those wearing the same coordinates such as Gingerbread Series and Cinema Doll. I love the Toy Parade series especially the bluexblue version.

We after that did a treasure hunt where we had to find a letter and do what it says such as find a pink hair girl and then her and the letter in the front so they both get a prize. They had 10 letters out so there was at least 20 people getting prizes varying from gift certificates, novelty items, socks, and postcards.

Then there was the lottery that everybody was waiting. This year they went by smaller prizes before big prizes unlike last year they reversed it. So my friend won a Royal Cards OTK White Socks to match with her Royal Cards White JSK since she bought the black version of it already. And I was in a state of shock to win the Dreamy Horoscope Blue Skirt along with the Dreamy Horoscope Pink OTK Socks. 3rd most valuable prize in the lottery. I was super duper happy as this is the most expensive thing I have ever won in my life. It's worth $250 total, but as much as I am broke and need money I rather keep things I win unless they do not fit me. There was by the way about close to 60 people who attended this party, but at least 40% of them got some kind of prize so the chances of getting prizes are very high just like the anniversary party they held last year.

After the lottery we all got group pictures taken before going out and gave us bags which inside were Angelic Pretty Postcard Collection Holder to show us the postcard that they have released if you do collect their postcards.

After the lottery we had a contest of who dressed the best and there were 2 spots for the winners. Then the party ended and I think pretty much everyone at the party headed to the Angelic Pretty store for a private shopping for all those who attended the party. I got to see new items they saved for us and also more sales on items. It was very crowded and pretty much everyone at the party bought something at the store. The shopping lasted from 5-6pm. I was surprised that time had flown by so fast by then. The party started at 1:30pm (though they were 15min late due to some technical difficulties) and ended at 4:30pm.

I really just love the party. I hope I can attend next year, but I doubt next year I definitely will not win. Last year I got an Angelic Pretty Fantastic Ribbon Pink Ring. But then my friends are deciding to attend next year so I am having a hard time about going because I'm jobless and am focusing on school. We'll see when the time comes closer. I made some new friends and seen familiar people before that I never had the courage to talk to until now. Plus hanged out with an old high school friend. I can't wait til next year to see how much things changed from now. ^-^

So this is how the skirt and sock on me.

Note: Also I kind of was lazy at the beginning taking some photos. So I only started taking them like after the Toy Parade got together taking photo shoots together. Sorry I was busy mostly socializing and rekindling with a friend of mine.

If anyone was wondering about the Angelic Pretty Event they held, I did went. It was very rainy at 8am in the morning and already 9 people had line up for the LP. Me and my sister decided to just head back home since there was only 5 accessories LP and 3 JSK LP. Everyone could get one of each. So there was no chance and also my sister felt really terrible so we headed home.

Next time: I can't wait for H.Naoto to release their event about the LP. I will definitely be going. I hope they do it again this year and New Year. I did it last year and I got some good stuff and also some misses. But I have so far been able to sell all their LP I did not like inside of the whole even the whole LP. I gotta go and I recommend you go if you love H.Naoto stuff. It's so worth it~! *A*

Review: Replica AP Chess Chocolate Skirt & AP Toy Fantasy Salopette (by Oo Jia)

Hello there, just another VERY busy November trying to get ready for the holidays.

Introduction: So I was very excited to get a replica outfit done by Oo Jia. I have heard many reviews about when it comes to replicas, she is so far the best in terms of quality of print. I am not very familiar with the replica world, but I had decided to try her out since from what I heard it was better than the other replica sellers.

Communication: I was quite surprised by how she responded to my facebook message immediately. It was 11-12am in San Francisco while it must have been morning for her in China. So we were discussing about measurements. I know it can be quite hard since she isn't fluent to English and she knew beginning/moderate (knowledge of knowing how to communicate with another person generally), but in the end we got across through one another.

Payment: Originally I recall seeing that the item for the Chess Chocolate Skirt was just $80, but she told me it was $85. The price for the Toy Fantasy Salopette was correct as state on facebook which is $120. I didn't really bother asking her why it was $5 more from the original facebook price. Just a heads up there was Paypal fee apparently was 4.5% which means (salopette) $120 + (skirt) $85 + (paypal) $9.23 = $214.23 total

Time: I am quite impress since I only discuss purchasing on October 3rd and paid that very day also. I know she sent it out on October 24th since she gave me the tracking that day so it may have took her 21 days to get both of them done which is like 10 days per one item. She did say making time was 10 days, but I guess she means 10 days for each item?

Shipping: Shipping was very long and I began just eagerly waiting for the item. I got my tracking on the 24th and my item arrived on November 13th morning. So it took 3 weeks for the shipping. Here is what the tracking look like for me.

Packaging: It was very well wrapped. It was sturdy and no holes, tear, or stains from the package or my items. It was quite secure. Here is what my package look like.

Quality:
Chess Chocolate Skirt (mint):
Pros: + I do love how the print quality is very nice. You don't really know it is cheap til you look underneath the skirt. I can tell how very well done it is and looks close to the real. For those who do own a Chess Chocolate you have to really look at it to see the replica.
+ Comes with a free headbow (Yay!)
+ Wonderful choice of material used for the print.
+ The print quality is very lovely.
+ The built in petticoat is just perfect with this skirt. It gives off a flattering shape. So I can wear this with my casual clothing (main reason why I bought this skirt).
+ I love how the back has a bit of shirring so I can make it high or low with this skirt.
Cons: + The print I noticed was darker from the original. I bought an original one before and I think the mint here was darker than the actual Chess Chocolate. I don't really mine it's just alright to me.
+ I noticed also that the zipper, I am having a very HARD time trying to zip 1/4 the way up to the top because as my Mom said the issue is due to the fabric being thick. What I do is not unzip all the way down and luckily because of the shirring I can zip 1/4 down and pull it on my waist so that solves my problem.
Note: I may have measured wrong for the Chess Chocolate length and I did not know looking at the other review I could have asked for the standard length from the Angelic Pretty size. But I can make do with what I have because the shirring on the back helps so I can push down the skirt as low as I want to and still fit on me. So that was easily solved.

Toy Fantasy Salopette Bunny Hoodie (black):
Pros: + Comes with a free headbow! The headbow itself is really nice. I like it better than the Chess Chocolate one I got. It just looks better than it.
+ I love how it looks close to the replica. There isn't must I can say as I have never seen an actual or own the original version to toy fantasy first edition.
+ Wonderful choice of material used for the print.
+ The print quality is very lovely.
Cons: + I actually did not like the choice of buttons she used for this, but it's not biggie. It's something I can change on my own because I prefer a black button so it doesn't stick out that much.
+ See it really looks nice flat how it gives that looks, however, when I wear it is looks like an upside down U with the build up. I've seen people take picture of the original version and I like how it's more flattering with a small cupcake shape unlike how I turn out in mine. After all mine if a replica so I think this did not turn out the best like the Chess Chocolate skirt. I think the reason for the upside down U shape is because of the material is thick which as a result made that look. There was no petticoat in mine, but it's just very fluffly.
+ I actually saw a real one during my AP Party and I like it much better than the replica because the replica is kind of off with proportion with the ears, the very poofy bottom skirt part. It original is so much better.

Overrall:
Chess Chocolate Skirt: 9.5/10 (minus 0.5 because zipper snag)
Toy Fantasy Salopette: 6.5/10 (minus 3.5 it was quite thick material causes an odd poof which makes it look funky on me and overrall looks kind of funky proportion in my opinion compared to the original)
Would I buy again: Yes I would, this place is perfect to get your lolita replica. It is close to the original, prints are good quality, and it was worth my money. This is the place to get your replica lolita and adjust to your needs. But I can't help though the Toy Fantasy I was quite unhappy with it's proportion on me.

Next time: Currently I do not foresee making anymore reviews so far and for now I only foresee just some more adventures in store because of the holiday sales/events. I will be posting which of the following is San Francisco Angelic Pretty Special Event on Nov. 17th & their San Francisco 2nd Anniversary Tea Party on Nov. 18th. Hope I can get myself a good Lucky Pack Accessories with my sister. ^-^ In addition I have a very high feeling there will also be an San Francisco H.Naoto Luck Pack going on in Dec and/or Jan like they did last year. They did two events of lucky packs. I will definitely attend one of them.

Review: Bodyline L507

Okay I have made previous purchases before from Bodyline, but unfortunately I will just review this purchase I got. I mean Bodyline in my previous purchases I have are hit-and-misses. There are some I liked and some I didn't. I will definitely say for sure that the shipping and handling for packages for me have been very good all the time. Pretty quick shipping and packaging is alright. Never had any problems out of the 5-7times I have bought from them.

Onto the review: So as I said shipping and package was good (no problems at all). I did a group order with my little sister so that we can split the shipping to $5 each. And I decided I had to have this lovely skirt. It was just so adorable. I don't own enough skirt so I decided I need this in my wardrobe.

I know it is hard, but the print and details were just too beautiful to pass up. I really wanted the green so badly (because I'm a sucker for emerald & mint color). It was quite close to emerald and I felt the pink skirt blends too much of the pink already in it as you see it's harder to see the piano and such because they are also pink in the print. So in the end I decided the blue was just right for me. I felt more in the mood of pastel vintage color and wanted it to pop out. I bought the blue one in the end to satisfy my pastel color need. *A* I will say I am a sucker for fairy kei if that explains my need for a pastel skirt.

Here is how the skirt looks like on me with my petticoat.

(I forgot to mention it came with the pin bow as you see on the stock photo)

So as for the blue skirt when it arrived in my house yesterday, it was all how I imagined it to be. I felt this was the best piece of clothing I have ever gotten from Bodyline actually. It does look vintage because of the white laces and white print was as I imagined to be more ivory (I think that's the best way to describe the color). It was definitely not bright white or even offwhite I felt. I know the price being $40 was quite expensive for my budget of a skirt, but my expectations of this skirt was just as I expected to be (in a good way). I like how it looks more than the feel. I think it does feel a tad cheap quality, but in terms of looks, I already got a compliments just wearing it today. It looks just very lovely and honestly no one could tell that the material was cheap unless they touched it. A lot of Bodyline can all be pretty much put in the washing machine and I can tell that this skirt will do fine in the washing machine and that is one of the reason why I bought it. Something to wear that I don't mind getting it here and there and wearing it when I do not want to wear my expensive lolita skirt from Angelic Pretty (no really I love Angelic Pretty, but I treat the items I get form them with especially care).

Why I bought this skirt/What is good about it: I wanted a print skirt that is pastel and don't mind it being dirty. This skirt is like my default if I want to go lacey, but casual. I love how big the print is The price for what I got for it was really worth my money. Really easy to wash because of the material. Still lovely for cheap quality and compliments.

Downside:  I think honestly the downside to this skirt is that it is quite wrinkly when you get it from the package. I didn't mind honestly and as you see in my pictures I took of it, it does looks quite wrinkly compare to the stock photo of it at Bodyline. I think it is no biggie to me and it is suppose to be that way because it is suppose to give a ruffle look which result in some areas of wrinkles. Also a medium size is quite loose for me. I have a waist size of 28inch I have 1inch space of the skirt on my waistline. This skirt is zipper instead of shirring. I prefer those shirring skirt than zipper skirt, but it's okay I have no problem with this skirt since it still fits me.

Look: 10/10
Comfort: 10/10
Fit: 9/10
Quality: 8/10
Price: 8.5/10
Overrall (IMO): 9.5/10 (I am in love with this skirt!)
Recommend buying this again: YES!!!!!

On another note: My little sister was so shocked how my skirt looked like and surprised how lovely it really looked in person that she is currently setting off to get the pink skirt version of this.

Next: I am still waiting for my order from Oo Jia. I purchase Chess Chocolate Skirt (mint) & Toy Fantasy Saploette Bunny Hoodie (black). Can't wait!!!! \*O*/

Adventure: Anime FX Swap Meet

On October 5th I decided to join an Anime Club at San Francisco State University. It's always every Friday from 4:30-9pm at Thornton Hall Room 428. By far this is my favorite club I've been to hands down. We do something different every week, but I think we still do those same events every semester. Either way every meeting isn't the same for a semester. I know others will take offense, but this is the best Anime Club I have ever been to. There is something different about this club, the atmosphere, the way they do things. It's interesting and very active. Lot of socializing. There's too much to describe my feelings of this club. I encourage those who love Anime and interacting with others to part take in this club.

So anyways this Friday we had hosted a Swap Meet event where we pay a $5 fee for a table and the rest you sell is all the profits you get to keep. I needed 2 tables so I paid $10 fee. I got there at 4:30pm (I wanted to be there at 4:00pm, but we were held up quite a bit). My and my sisters decided to join me for this event to help me sell my stuff. Luckily I got a good spot despite two other people were ahead of me. The best spot in the room in my opinion is the table to the door way out of the room (which was mine). Because for one people come from there and they also go from there. So there is better chances of people taking a look at our stuff and especially since my and my little sister are wearing maid outfits to grab some attention. :) Thank goddness my side of the wall had some hangers so I could hang up my dress. That was a lifesaver. Took me about 40 minutes to set up my booth. I was happy how it turned out. Pretty much everything all the items I wanted were displayed and thank you to Daiso for teaching me how to display items and bringing tons of $1 & $5 so that I can take $100, $50, and $20 bill from people. That place has taught me something that I can bring to my life. I loved how my table turned out. I'm so happy to own a table of my own and sell my stuff. My very first time and I was super excited to go all out for it. I even had a box full of candy for so people to take.

that is my little sister wearing my maid outfit I let her borrow because it looks awkward when I wear that outfit. ;-;

My very first time and I was super excited to go all out for it. I even had a box full of candy for so people to take.

My table was definitely a success. It was a bit difficult at first since I did all the unpack and displaying even the packing up at the end of the Swap Meet. I made $101 profit ($8 goes to my little sister because she sold some of her stuff). I am amazed I made that much actually. I didn't expect to sell much since a lot of my stuff are girly (I was aware of that). A friend told me he made $16, but that $5 went to the table fee. It was better than I expected in terms of my profit. I really enjoyed socializing with other people. Made some new friends along the way. Requited with old friends from high school. And friends that I already knew in college. My sisters made new friends and overrall they really enjoyed this event. I think my sisters were very surprised how the event went over their expectations. Because of so much fun we had there time literally flew by for us and we were shocked how already we had to close down our table. D: It did not feel like the end! But it was. It was just as I expected what I input my table and would get out as a result. I am very happy to own my very first table. Can't wait to spring semester we do another Swap Meet. My sisters will share a table and mix it with Art Commission as I will sell some of my own stuff, but I don't think I will sell that much that semester.

If you want to see more pictures of how the Swap Meet look like Someone took some pictures of the event here. You can see me wearing my maid outfit and I'm surprised he did not take a good shot of me with it. I didn't mind posing. ;A; I know there were 2 other people floating around with cameras there so I'll go and hunt them down for my picture.

Review: Hip Hop Candy 2

Hello, yes so I decided a couple weeks ago to buy another Hip Hop Candy item from her and this time I will just sum it up as I was really not happy with this one. Oh boy I regret it. After this I don't think I may order from her again for a very long time. The package was quite ripped a bit. One of the bottle leaked a bit. At least it was still full, but it was messy. Even the sticker on the bottles were like kind of worn and looks like it got wet because of lotion so the picture was messed up. There is too much to describe how I did not like what I got this time. In addition half of the lotion bottles I ended up not liking their smell. And most of all the main reason why I ordered again was to get another "Lemon Poppyseed Cake" Hand Lotion. But that was the very one in which the cap that got busted open that you will see in my picture all the bottles came out in the package. But my Mom fixed the busted cap. I don't think it was because the mailman shoving it in, but maybe during the shipment. I think she could have package the lotions better in the mail like plastic for each lotion in case it spilled. That's all I have to rant. I know no one would be happy about what I just said, but I was not pleased at all. The only lotion I enjoyed was the "Lemon Poppyseed Cake", "Blueberry Muffin", and "Banana Creme". The rest was just ehhhhhh.... I think I accidentally deleted the picture on my phone of how the package look liked when I got in the mail. Darn......

Sorry for the rant. I was just really upset and if you take offense to this, please do not let this get the best of you. I am not ordering again for a VERY long time even if my favorite Magical Girl Strawberry Scented Body Glitter is on sale and she is still selling my favorite lotion smell Lemon Poppyseed Cake Lotion (2oz). Because I felt I got VERY disappointed this second time. I was okay with the last order, and I was much more pleased when for the very first time I ordered from her many years ago. My first order was just plastic rings and pins. I was very happy with those for sure. The last order she will get from me. I figure I could have contact her about my order, but I get the feeling she may just say it shouldn't have been a biggie that one of the lotion spilled all over my other lotions causing the printed stickers on the bottle to look all splochy and all. In addition none of the items ended up being broken and all the bottles were still filled to the top. But nevertheless I am on a budget with no job and I spent $30 down that drain. And the packaging could have been better for the lotions such as I suggested a plastic bag for each lotion bottle in case it spills.

Next Time: Anyways that's it for now and tune in for my next review of Oo Jia's lolita replica items. I can't wait to see how they will turn out, but one of the skirt I measured too short. o_<

For my next Adventure journal I am going to do an entry about my Swap Meet that my Anime Club is hosting. I am so eager. I will own my very first table. I have always wanted to run my own table and sell stuff. I am going to be giving away raffles, chocolates, business cards, plastic bags for everyone, and tons of $1 stuff at my booth. I will also cosplay or lolita myself. I wish I can do maid outfit.... just maybe.... Ahhhh all the feels and excitement. Even if I may not sell so much as I hope to (bet I may sell very little). The atmosphere and the thought of people crowding around my table for the raffle and free candy. I just can't wait for Friday to come this week~!

Review: Yumetenbo/DreamV

So last Friday I finally for the package that I've been excited that I purchased from Japan about 1 month ago. I am really into Fairy Kei items and along my search I had stumble someone on egl_comm_sales selling something called DreamV. Googled it and found their site DreamV online at Rakuten where they sell their items. I think the company maybe copyright to Yumetenbo since I see that word pop a lot in their stock photos when the models dress up with the item they're selling. I am mostly interested in their "Princess" section with all the wonderful pastel clothings, accessories, and bags. So I purchased two things from them thanks to a special online Japanese Shopping Service called Yokatta. They always make shopping such a breeze with their middleman services. Definitely the shipping and everything else was well packaged. I really loved how well it was package overrall. Now onto my purchases.

I purchased this Green Polka Dot Dress (Size: L for 32 bust, 28 waist) though I was disappointed to only find a couple days later they released another item similar to it, but different touch ups and style. It's much more pricer than mine, but wish they had released it before I purchased the other item. o____<

As I realized the material is very nice. It feels nice. Good quality of the material they used. Does not feel cheap and worth the value of what they're selling it for. In the end I was hoping it would be very "minty" color, but the color was exactly like the one they displayed and NOT the color like the model was wearing the dress. But I still love it as I bought this so I may also wear it as a skirt. It kind of looked odd wearing as a skirt because of the poof at the waist when I try layering it over with a shirt/t-shirt. So it's best to wear it just as a dress instead of any layer over it. I think I'll still keep this one because I love the color green.
Rate: 8.5/10
Comfort: 10/10
Quality: 10/10

Currently: I am selling the Green Polka Dot Dress. You can find it being sold on Ebay. Here it the link to it.

Also I purchase this Princess High Heel Heart Shaped (Size: L for my 6.5W feet) with lovely lacing and big bow to top it off. The quality is really lovely. I don't know why, but I felt the quality and material they used for this shoe is better than Bodyline's shoes material. I can feel it sturdier compared to Bodyline's shoes that I have my own. It has very good cushion at the top, but biggest flaw is that I tried walking indoor with it, I am having a very difficult time because it keeps slipping the back of my feet and thus I must make smaller walks. I wish there was a strap for the middle of my feet, but the heart shape heels is so wonderful to pass up. I may use a ribbon for the back so that it doesn't. I really love it, but honestly if anyone is offering to take it from me I'd be happy to and I would be willing to ship international. I only tried it on indoor and it has some bit of fur at the bottom of the shoes and also dirt from the house, but it is like new.

I loved the items they sell. Everything they sell is so wonderful and I prefer the Japanese style of clothing and color a lot. It's super expensive for shopping service to buy it from Japan, but the quality is worth the price that they sell it for. I wish they would think of opening a store in San Francisco with all the lolita stores going around in San Francisco and other Japanese stores there, I can see it making business there. Bottom line: They need a store in San Francisco & will splurge my money there if they do have one.

Note: By the way I rather not show a picture of me wearing them. The background of my house is too clutter to get a good snapshot of me weaing this dress and I feel I did not have the right body shape to pose this. ^^;;;;

Next Up: So I actually bought some more items at Hip Hop Candy. Been busy to post my do a review for the Hip Hop Candy one because those arrived last week. Waiting for Oo Jia's package of items. In addition made another purchase at Bodyline so you'll be seeing those also posted at some point
