at yesstyle...

the ceo of yesstyle with my brother's gf and me ^^ he's such a nice, warm and enthusiastic persoon...


us with the marketing crew... posing with the magazines. such funny and nice people... it was nice meeting them... now i have a face to go with their names and conversations ^^


and these -_- are the awkward pictures... XD i can't be relaxed when someone else is taking pictures of me... especially when everyone is looking at me... but i really like the top i am wearing at the left, maybe i should diy my own ^^

head vs heart...

hi readers, followers and subscribers... (friends and family...) i want to apologize... my head and my heart are at war, since the past "i don't know how many" weeks... i just can't get them on one line, at least not in a short period of time... that's the reason why i have been posting posts and videos like on and off... (that's the reason why i'm so moody and energy-loos...) and also... all those password protected post... i am sorry if i made some of you curious... i just needed a place to scream it out.

sooo... i wanted to let you all know, that i think, that i need some time to get things straight... to get myself to cooperate with myself... so i might not make any or make less videos for a while... also... i probably won't be able to make any in november... because i will be visiting hong kong again for 2,5 weeks (4 november - 22 november 2011)...

but i have some exciting news: i will visit the yesstyle hq in hong kong!! yeay... i am so excited to meet the yesstyle crew... i will try to share my hong kong trip with you all... after.

hopefully i can pick up everything after my vacation... and do even better than before...

for now... i might keep posting here, now and then... not sure, but... one thing, that i can promise, is that i will be back XD so... please bear with me... for now.

wish me luck ^^

much <3 xxx

most disappointing yesstyle order (9)

i was so excited about this order, because i wanted to try their bags again... but how disappointing this order was, when i unpacked the "goods".

i ordered this bag:

this is what i got, it's sooo shiny... -_- i don't like how it looks like plastic. and there are threads sticking out here and there... the bag feels kind of heavy too...

the only thing i like about this bag is the buckle...

second thing i ordered is this shirt dress...

the fabric looks bad... i wish it was more drapy... the fabric is too light and flowy... the sleeves are too wide... and the stitching is horrible... -_-

i'm not sure if i can diy this into something nice -_- maybe i'll try it out sometime...

last thing i got... is this pair of shoes...

i think i like this the most out of everything, though i wish the material didn't look that fake, cheap and plastic... -_-

they look pretty close to the website pictures though...

have you bought anything recently that you regretted?

canceled items

i get a lot of questions about items being canceled from Yesstyle orders. and what a coincidence... the bag i ordered 3 weeks ago, got canceled! now i'm frequently checking if the bag gets back in stock again, cause i would really get my hands on them. this is the second time an item got canceled, and i have ordered many times already.

if you don't want to get items that has a possibility of being canceled, buy the items that are ready to ship, those are the items they have at there own warehouse. all the others, they have to order from their supplier.

if your item got canceled, you can just leave it be. If your order originally qualified for free shipping, you will still receive free shipping despite items being canceled from your order.

or if you want to replace the canceled item, you can contact the customer service, with your order number. just e-mail them with your replacement request. be sure to send your request before your package get send out.

items that got canceled can get back "in stock" later. if you check back at your product, if it says "temporary out of stock", it's possible that you can order it again later. but if it says "out of stock", it's probably not coming back again.

the first time, my item got canceled, i got my refund as yesstyle credits. i didn't mind it that much, because i knew i was going to use it anyways. but i've talked with people who didn't want to order again, so i told them to ask their money back through the customer service. i think the many complaints has helped, cause now i will be getting the refund through paypall, how i paid for the order, it will just take some time.

ps. funny how i am typing cancelled (uk) like this, but my browser changes it into canceled (us)...

bags from yesstyle?

when you look bag (back) on my very first yesstyle review vid, you will see that i wasn't pleased by the quality of the bag i've bought... it looked nice and everything, but it wasn't doing it's job very well... holding all my items in the bag, caused it an early death...

but when i was browsing the yesstyle website, i was tempted to look on the bags section... and oh my... i've found some nice looking bags... so i was thinking about giving their bags another try...

1. Fashion Lady - Studded Faux-Leather Tote
2. Fashion Lady - Faux-Leather Tote
3. ALICE9 - Faux-Leather Tote
4. Koo - Faux-Leather Tote with Cross Strap
5. REDOPIN - Faux-Leather Trim Canvas Shopper
6. REENO - Genuine Leather Satchel
7. REDOPIN - Chain-Accent Faux Leather Tote
8. Smoothie - Two-Tone Buckled Tote
9. PG Beauty - Faux-Leather Tote

can you guess which one i've ordered?

it fell off -_-

can you believe it, my heel suddenly fell off!! it happened right after i've reached my desk at work... -_- i have these shoes for only 4 months :X and i didn't even wore them everyday...

i checked out my shoe after i reached home, and i don't think i can repair it with superglue... the whole sole is getting loose... the funny thing was... i was kicking a plastic thingy on the streets last saterday, and the shoe (my right one) is still intact!! hmmm... i'm also not sure if i'm able to get it fixed... and... would it be worth the money?

guess i'm not very lucky with shoes... another pair... the platforms of my beige/offwhite heels from yesstyle got ripped... but that one was actually my own fault... i fell from the stairs... and the heels actually saved my butt...

hope you all had a better monday!

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... -_-

oversized tops/knits/cardigans...

i'm in love with oversized tops... and i finally found the perfect one at h&m... since i wanted to try some out before buying overseas, i decided to not get any online yet...

but now that i tried some out, i'll know what kind of oversized tops i like... since i'm not like model-skinny... an oversized top can easily make me look big or bulky... but i find that tops with bigger necklines doesn't do that as much... so... i started to look on yesstyle for oversized tops/knits/cardigans...

here are my picks <3

nr.01
oversized knit cardigan
(stylewardrobe) 74,10usd


nr.02
v-neck oversized top
(frenchgirl) 36,10usd


nr.03
long-sleeve scoopneck oversized top
(shy shy) 17,28usd


nr.04
oversized fleece cardigan
(redopin) 68,40usd


nr.05
oversized draped cardigan
(redopin) 57,00usd


lastly, one with a smaller neckline... i'm not sure if this will fit me well, but it looks mad-good on the model... <3

nr.06
long-sleeve oversized t-shirt
(youareagirl) 30,40usd


men has nice tops and cardigans too, to wear it oversized... ^^

received yesstyle order (7)

so because we returned the shirt (which i post about some time ago), we wanted to order again with the yesstyle credit we got back...

that's btw an other thing that's not really fun about returning items to yesstyle...

so my bfriend got to order 3 shirts... (will post pictures of those another time) and i ordered a pair of shoes and a jacket.

1. lace-up ankle boots
brand: youareagirl
size: 245
material: synthetic leather
price: 70usd
color: black









the shoes are okay, i just think the quality isn't really that great... i think i've expected a little bit more... but what i do like about these shoes is, that they kept my feet dry at rainy days... since it has been raining over here a lot lately, i've been wearing them for like a full week now... and the sole is already damaged... and the thing is... the sole just have a thin layer of black rubber... and when that is worn off, you can see like a off-white color... and that doesn't look that nice... it's like almost i've worn these shoes for half an year -_-







and...

2. hooded jacket
brand: cocostar
size: one size
material: cotton
price: 65usd
color: black

this is the jacket i ordered...



and this is what i've received!





they look totally different... the sleeves... the pockets, the elastic band, the back... the one i ordered was named a hooded jacket, but this one isn't even hooded -_-

so i've contacted the customer service... and they told me to send them pictures... so i did... they have asked me to return the product... and i will get the right item send to me after they received the other jacket back... and if they can't get their hands on the correct item, i will be getting the value of the jacket back as yesstyle credit... and they told me they would pay back the shipping cost (as yesstyle credit too). it costed me 20 eur just to ship that jacket back -_- hope they'll keep their word... otherwise i would be really disappointed...

have you experienced receiving a wrong product from yesstyle? share it with me ^^

returning items to yesstyle is no fun...

i have to admit they have fast service... whenever i have a question, i always have gotten a fast reply...

like i said before, i had to return a shirt that i had in my last order... because it didn't fit... 1. we had to pay the shippingcost from here, the netherlands, back to yesstyle, which was around 10eur... and 2. because my order wasn't above the 150usd after returning the shirt... i had to pay for the shipping cost aswell... which is 16 usd -_-

so the shirt was 62usd... and i had to pay around 30 usd in total... so i only gained around 50% back... that's sad -_-

make sure you'll never have to return something... make sure you fit everything before ordering! the reason i decided to get a refund is because it wasn't an extreme cheap shirt...

received yesstyle order (6)

1. "patch" appliqué hooded jacket
brand: l'miusa
size: one size
material: cotton and polyester
price: 28usd
color: black



thoughts while ordering:
i needed a long hoody and i love the collar of this hoody ^^ the patch gives it a schoolgirl kind of look, which i love...

thoughts after receiving:
this hoody is fantastic, just not great for this weather... :X because the fabric is really thick... and the inner-lining of the hood is really soft, fluffy and warm... better keep it till it gets colder again... can't wait to wear this... i love the collar of this hoody, and the fact that it's a long sweater... the patch though... is actually a pin... i do like the patch, but i'm actually quite happy it's a pin, so i can remove it, to fit more different styles... the pockets of this hoody is amazing ^^ i love the pockets, they are nice and big... perfect for girls with a smaller hip, which i'm actually not... :X







there are thumb holes, but the sleevs are actually too short for me... so putting my thumbs through feels uncomfy... :X



2. ruched sleeveless top
brand: puffy
size: one size
material: cotton
price: 16,20usd
color: black



thoughts while ordering:
i just thought it would look very cute with shorts... and since i love to wear shorts during summer... the weather here is getting better... can't wait to get this ^^

thoughts after receiving:
this shirt doesn't look good on me, it somehow makes me look big, it looks much cuter on the model than on me... though the shirt is comfortable... and since it's so loose, great for the hot weather...







3. lace-up platform wedges (i have no idea why they named these wedges)
brand: kawo
size: 39
material: polyurethane
price: 38usd
color: black



thoughts while ordering:
i'm normally not a big fan of shoes showing heels... because my heels doesn't look that pretty... but these shoes are looking really nice... it looks like a suede kind of material... and it's laced up :) which i like... and the style is very neutral, i think it can fit different styles of clothing... and besides... check out the price... it's very reasonable...

thoughts after receiving:
these shoes look adorable cute, they look amazing... the outside of the shoe is made from a fake suede fabric... the shoe has a nice patten with stitches and round cutouts on it... the heels are laced up in the front and has a zipper on the inner side... it has a 12cm high heel and a 2,5cm platform... they feel comfortable on my feet... BUT... these shoes are kind of hard to walk on :O maybe it's because of the "open heel" part, or just the sole... i feel like it's wiggling a bit... this is what i experienced, when i wore these to work... i always have to walk 5 to 10 minutes from the bus stop to work...





when i reached home, i took a good look at the shoes... and i noticed that the heel isn't straight :X that must be a factor too why these shoes walk unstable...



i like steady heels more, so i can run in them when i need to... or at least be able to walk on them for hours... these heels are tiring for me...

4. lace-up sandals
brand: kawo
size: 39
material: polyurethane
price: 25usd
color: black



thoughts while ordering:
i am just looking for nice flats to wear... i'm wearing more flats than ever... i got my own reasons for that :P though i still love my high heels... and still love to wear them... these flats are really cute and casual... just need more of these... and for that price ^^ hope they're comfy though...

thoughts after receiving:
these shoes are cute... and on top of that, they are extremely comfortable! :O i'm loving it... the straps don't cut my skin etc. Very casual and great for this season... Nothing more to say about these shoes...







i know i've mentioned this already, but...

yesstyle shoes run small!! i usually wear a size 37,5 to 38 eur size (mostly a 38, just because it's hard to get a 37,5 here in the netherlands)... i always order 1 to 1,5 size bigger from yesstyle... in korean size i always order 245 and eur size, i always get the 39... the 39s are sometimes a little bit loose, but still good to wear... and the 245 is mostly fitted well... this is based on all the shoes i got from yesstyle... i think i've got around 8 pair of shoes from them... including the shoes i got from this order...

5. v-neck tee
brand: rakun
size: XL
material: cotton
price: 62usd
color: black



this was actually a shared order again ^^

but too bad the shirt he got didn't fit well, it was too small, though he got the biggest size they got... and since it wasn't the cheapest shirt out there, we decided to send it back... so i e-mailed yesstyle about it, and i can get a refund... i have to say that i'm quite surprised about their quick reply... since i e-mailed them in the weekend :O now i just have to fill in the form and send it back... they say that they will refund as soon as they receive the unwanted product... i wonder how smooth things will go, and how long this will take... i'll try to keep it updated here.

details in short:
received the package on 7 juli
e-mailed yesstyle about the item on 10 juli
received a reply on 11 juli
we are going to send it back as soon as possible

what else... hmmm i also got some freebies with this order... a bracelet, which is totally not my style, probably going to give it to my mom or something... ^^



and i got the yesstyle x lecontebleu t-shirt... i received one of these before... and it's one of the 3 tees that was send to me to do a series of tee recon video's ^^ so soon a video with this tee :)
