received yesstyle order (8) part 1

ieee... i found a package when i came home after a really tired and long day of work... it's a yesstyle package... i ordered last saterday and i've already got my package... it's the fastest order i ever had... we ordered only "ready to ship" items... (we = shared order... so a part 2 - men will be coming up soon)

i only ordered 3 things... i didn't feel like ordering shoes, though i did saw some nice pairs...


1. hooded jacket
brand: puffy
size: one size
material: twill
price: 37usd
color: army green


i like this jacket so much... just the style and how it fits... maybe i've said it before, but i'm really into army/olive green lately ^^ love the "belted" detailing on the sleeves and around the lower waist... i love how the sleeves are not too short... it looks just the way i wanted and expected it to be...



too bad this jacket isn't lined... you can see the stitches inside the hood... and plus the material is really thin... so i think i might have to wait a while, before i can actually wear it... even my blazer is made out of thicker material! other thing that i don't like about the hood is, it's shape, it's too "square"... (can't really tell in the first picture though, it's much worse in real...)


2. studded hoody
brand: puffy
size: one size
material: cotton
price: 6usd
color: gray


i just ordered this, because it's soo cheap... and a hoody is always a nice casual item to have... great for layering in the winter... i'm glad it fits well... and the studs are pretty cute, though i'm not a big fan of gold...


what came in as a surprise, is the heart "pattern" or whatever i should call that... i didn't really see that on the pictures... but it doesn't really bother me... ^^ it's still a very nice hoody for 6/7usd...



3. inset ear accent hooded scarf
brand: d.p-shop
size: one size
material: cotton poly mix
price: 27usd
color: black


last but not least... a scoodie... with ears... it's so cute... i actually ordered it, because i really wanted the spirit hood... but was still hesitating about it, because it's so expensive... and i thought this would look really cute with my black all stars ^^ can't wait to wear it out!!


the material is really soft... and i like the ends of the scarf, where i can put my hands in to warm up ^^ i do have to say, the fit of the hood isn't made that well... i don't think it would stay on very long, with the wind we have here... 


this scoodie actually made me order the spirit hood i wanted -_- i ordered a blue/gray wolf spirit hood from ebay... i'm just hoping that i will like the spirit hood as much as i like the scoodie i got from yesstyle... and hope it's actually worth the price... the chi iron and the bag have to wait till my next pay... -_-

stfu!!

i just received my new custom made necklace...i'm surprised how fast i got it... i ordered the necklace at 5/6 januari from www.mijnnaamketting.nl, which is just the dutch version of www.mynamenecklace.com...


before i ordered the necklace i had a question to ask them... i had a request... since i wasn't going for a name... (even if i would go for a name)... i didn't want any capitals... somehow... i'm not a fan of capitals... as you may have noticed, when i'm not writing anything formal, i will not be using any capitals... but anyways... so i mailed them if that was possible...

the next day, i've received a reply... and it is possible... i just have to write my request down in the comment box while placing the order and they even gave me a coupon code with 5% off... it's not much, but it's a friendly gesture...

so finally i decided to order the necklace... i've chosen for the carrie style... 18" long silver necklace... so i typed in my word... and wrote down my request in de comment section... then i added the coupon code...

after that, my comment field went empty... :X i had to retype my request... then i moved on with the checkout and payed with ideal... and everything went smooth... soon after, i've received an email with my order details... but my special request wasn't mentioned in that mail...

So i decided to ask them again, just to be sure... i'd rather be annoying than stupid... so the next morning i got a reply back that everything will be as i wanted... what a good service they have... i'm satisfied!! ^^

so... 10 days later... the necklace came in a bubble wrap envelope... when i opened it, there was a large "business" card and the necklace was attached to a small card in a transparent bag...


i really like how the word/name plate turned out... since i didn't want any capitals… and the big curl at the end, makes it looks like i'm wearing it the wrong way… i like that ^^

the name plate looks pretty thin, so i won't be able to sleep with it… they do sell thicker ones though… but i didn't want to spend that much on a word necklace…

the back of the name plate is done poorly… it's scratched... especially on the s... but i don't really mind that, because no one will see that anyways…




and i don't like the chain… and the rings that is connected to the plate… the rings are way too big… and the chain is sooo thin… i expected this before ordering though… i'm looking for new chains to replace the current ones…

so in overall i'm ok satisfied with the necklace, couldn't expect more for that price…



and ps. my internet is still not working!! :(

2011/01/15

no internet!!

:X my internet modem broke down on monday, and i didn't have internet at home since then... luckily i have an internet connection on my phone, so i can at least do some primary things... the mechanic already came by to replace the modem… but we have to wait till monday for the internet to start working again… :X

but luckily… i'm not spending my weekend at home, so now i have a bit time to blog ^^

since i haven't had internet i started watching tvb dramas/series again... well actually just one... gun metal grey... watched 9 episodes already, and i'm liking it so far... love to see how (strange/mysterious) cases get solved... (the only thing that i didn't like so far, was how nancy wu reacted when she found out, that she's actually the daughter of the murdered lawyer-couple)... and what catched my eyes since the very first time i laid my eyes on nancy wu, her boots!! love them... and i want them!!


too bad i don't have a better picture... but they are like (calf) high army boots ^^

another thing about not having internet is... not be able to buy stuff online... i have a weird habit of ordering stuff just before i go to sleep… and i have 2 things on my wishlist that i really want to get... 1 is a bag... (the black studded legend bag) and 2... a new flatiron... well, there is actually a 3, but that will be too much for this months... wonder what it is? a faux fur spirit hood!! <3 they are soo pretty... but the shipping is sooooo expensive -_-



but anyways... it's weekend, and i'm enjoying it so far… yesterday… i had lunch with my bf, shopped with my brother's gf… and had dinner at their place… and today… just enjoying the internet… probably gonna place a new order on yesstyle, which i haven't done for so long… and gonna go watch a movie tonight… and tomorrow… i have an concert on my planning… i'm excited…

hope you too are having a great weekend <3

happy 2011!!

it's my first post in 2011... wish you all a great year!!

all the snow is gone now... and i'm so happy ^^ now i can wear my all stars again... and hereby... i want to show you my ootd of yesterday...

i was wearing a grey sweater (yesstyle.com)... because the sweater doesn't have much shape, i wore it off the shoulder... just adds a feminine touch to the whole outfit... and under it i just wore a white tanktop (h&m)... to match the white in my all stars and to keep me warm... as bottom, i'm wearing my diy olive green shorts (new yorker)... under the shorts a pair of 40den tights (primark)... paired up with grey socks (primark)... and ofcourse my black all stars... i wore my fitted blazer (h&m) as an outer... paired it up with my huge olive green scarf (primark) and black knitted hat (only)...






i love shorts... i can wear them all year around ^^ i "diy-ed" the olive green shorts,.. just the day before 2011... it's made from a pair knee length shorts that i got on sale... i've just cutten the shorts in the length i wanted + some extra cm, for hemming... after hemming, i've just folded it up, and hand sewed the sides, so the folding would stay...




after i got the shorts done i started making rings... i made 2 ^^ since i was tired... i've really struggled with the chains... which costed me so much more time than i normally would need... :X

here are the results ^^


this one is actually the same as the one i did a tutorial on... but just in a black/gunmetal color... and the chain is longer... my bf suggested me to wear them together, and it looks quite nice...



another one i've made, is a one finger ring... 2 ways i have on wearing it...


just simply straight, loose, hanging...


and twisted...


planning on making more... i still got some chain left ^^ have you tried it out allready?

have a good night/evening/morning, whereever you are... <3
