Minkyshop + tea party shoes ♡

Hello! I'd like to share my experience with MinkyShop today, a retailer of Asian fashion, footwear and cosplay. I was looking for a cute new pair of shoes because all of the shoes in my collection are black. >w< I decided to go for a pair of white tea party shoes in medium (23.5cm) by Secret Shop costing £35.99. These shoes are usually worn with Japanese lolita clothing but I think they can look cute with other clothing styles too! They come in four different sizes and MinkyShop offer them in an array of colours.

Shipping + Communication ♡
Shipping was about £13 for the shoes which was kind of expensive, however it came 10 days (inc. weekend) after it was dispatched, including a tracking number by EMS. The communication by e-mail with Minky was really quick and one of the friendliest I have come across. The shoes came very securely in a taped box.

Quality + design ♡
They look pretty much the same in real-life as they do in the pictures. The straps clip on but are also adjustable and fit really well. The materials used are strong and the shoes are well-made - no hot glue in sight! The only imperfection I could find was a tiny scuff in the front of one shoe which will probably be unnoticeable when worn. The sole is also very hard so they feel a little odd to walk in but I think it'll be okay when I break into them.

Sizing ♡
These shoes are little big without socks and slip at the back but are absolutely fine with socks.

Overall ♡
I'd super recommend MinkyShop as a retailer as they offer great customer service. Be aware that some other items may take longer to ship due to the suppliers. These shoes are cute but be careful with the sizing as with any other shoes you buy online!

Thank you for reading!

Heart print socks + dolly shoes ♡

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a lovely summer! My first post of July will be about a couple of recent purchases from ASOS that look super-cute together, go great with many different outfits and the best thing of all costs less than £25! :D See more ASOS stuff here!

ASOS Socks With Heart Print ~ £4.00 ♡
These pop socks have an adorable black heart print and frilly cuffs. They add a girly touch to both heels or flats and don't make your legs look shorter like some socks do. I've worn them a few times and they appear to be durable considering how thin the material is. ASOS also had this in a nude pink but they sold out before I could get them. ;___;


New Look Riddle Black Heeled Shoes ~£19.99 ♡
These lovely heels can take you all the way from day to night. They give that little bit extra height yet still so easy to walk around in. I think these are a great choice if you're not used to walking in heels yet or if you want something that'll work both dressed up and down. They look good with the pop socks above or knee-high socks or suspenders.

Lots of love,

Stay cute at tokyo hardcore: Kitten crew tank ♡

Hi lovely ladies! I recently ordered this super-awesome Stay Cute Kitten Crew Tank in Small and I'd like to share this review with you all! You can find the tank here.

Postage + packaging ♡ 
I ordered the tank on the 12th June and it was dispatched the next day to the UK. I received it on the 20th June which I was really pleased with. :D It was wrapped in plastic and purple tissue paper and plastic outer packaging. Inside, it came with a cute business card and sticker with the Stay Cute logo on it.

Price ♡ 
The tank costs $26 + $12 shipping, so $38 altogether which is not bad at all considering it is an independent business and the shipping was fast.

Quality + design ♡ 
The quality of the tank is very good and it stretches a bit. The words are printed on clearly but look cracked when it's stretched. It goes back to normal after though. If you look carefully in the stock photos you can see the words "STAY CUTE" around the heart - it stands out more in real life. Other than that, the tank looks the same as the stock photos.

Sizing ♡ 
I think these tanks run pretty small. I'm a petite UK size 8 and ordered a Small and it's a little tight in both the chest and waist area. I was thinking about exchanging it for a Medium but that would mean I'd have to pay more money so I decided to keep it and hope I'd lose a little weight. :B I wore it yesterday and it looked pretty tucked inside a denim A-line skirt.

Overall ♡ 
I think this tank is super-cute and definitely worth the money I paid for it, but be careful about the sizing and consider buying a size up especially if you have a larger chest.

Thank you for reading!
