Creepyyeha store ♡

CREEPYYEHA
Hello lovelies! Today I'd like to share what i think about the accessories i bought from Creepyyeha. She sells a range of handmade creepy+cute accessories including chokers, garters, belts + arm bands that she designs herself! You can visit her store here.

I first paid for my order on the 10th September. I originally ordered the black mini heart garter + the o ring heart pin in pink. The shipping cost $23.95 for USPS shipping with tracking to the UK (although you can ask for a cheaper non-tracked shipping). A few days later i changed my mind + asked if i could have the pair of double head garters instead of the black mini heart garter on her tumblr. She was really lovely about it + quick to reply. About two weeks later i asked if i could also add the bellbaby choker in black to my order. Again, she was lovely, replied quickly + sent me an invoice through PayPal for the additional item. I ended up receiving the order in a big bubble envelope on the 1st October, which i was very pleased with!

Everything was wrapped neatly in a lovely black mesh bag inside the envelope - it's great to keep the accessories tidy and protected. They are really good quality and well-made too - you can hardly tell they are handmade!

Boux avenue: Razzle tie leg ballet pumps ♡

Some of you guys may know how much love I have for ballet pumps, so when I saw these cuties discounted from £18 to just £7.50 I had to get them in both black and powder pink. These Razzle Tie Leg Ballet Pumps from Boux Avenue are made to look just like ballet shoes and keep your toes cosy when lounging around in the house!

Recent purchases: On the high street ♡

Hello bunnies! So ever since i found out how many lovely little treasures and deals could be found internet shopping some years ago, my interest in high street shopping slowly dissipated before i knew it. :{ Lately i've really gotten back into it though - there's nothing more satisfying than taking home something you love straight after you've paid for it! There's also lots of items that retailers will put out in the stores that you won't find on their online store. For example, just yesterday I found the cutest ever baby doll lingerie set for only £12.99 at H&M that was nowhere to be seen on their online store. Finally, it's so important to try on clothing and shoes, because they can look good on one body and not so good on another. Sometimes stuff can look totally different in real life than in pictures too. It's quite frustrating having to send stuff back and then wait for a refund!
image
Here's some stuff i've recently bought when out and about (some can be found online)!

I'm totally in love with this bag! It's the perfect colour (more accurate colour on Topshop website) and comes with an adjustable strap to carry it on your shoulder. It's great quality and I love the subtle spike details on the buckles. It also works with lots of different outfits and I like contrasting it with blue denim. The only downsides are that it's a little expensive and doesn't carry a whole lot of stuff.
image
These are really simple accessories but can add that extra touch to many outfits, whether floaty and pastel or dark and studded. They're really tiny charms, so it was a little difficult to part with my cash for the star necklace but the rose gold finish was too hard to resist. :3 I think these accessories will get a lot of wear!
image
Ballet flats are a wardrobe staple for me, and these ones are such good value for money! I find it hard to find shoes that fit properly, but these are super-comfy. These bows make the shoes look more expensive than they really are and i like to wear these with the 3-pack thin socks that H&M also sell.
image
These nail polishes are so cool! xD They were only 50p each and i can't wait to give them a try! H&M also have these in other colours but i'm not sure if they're still being continued, so if you like them, you might have to be quick to snatch them up!

Until next time!

Storenvy: Brave store polka dot socks + cherry clip ♡

Hello everyone! Firstly I'd like to apologize for not posting in awhile as I've had a lot of work to do over the Summer holidays! :{ Luckily I now have almost two weeks free to relax and make lots of little posts to make up for it :D
image
Today will be a small Storenvy post about Brave Store! They are based in China and Australia and sell cute accessories and clothes. I bought the transparent socks in black polka dot and the cherry bow clip in pink stripe which cost me $8.00 each.

I made my order on the 4th July 2013 and they were shipped out the very next day! I received a dispatch e-mail stating that the estimated delivery time will be 15-25 days and that the items may be shipped separately. Shipping cost to the UK was just $5.00. I received the socks on the 15th July which I was very pleased with. However, after 25 days from the dispatch date I still hadn't received the clip so I e-mailed the store. They replied, saying that many packages were being delivered late due to stricter customs. I received the clip on the 6th August. I'd sayoverall the shipping and communication were quite good considering the cost and distance, but I wouldn't recommend relying on it if you want you purchases by a specific date.
image
I'm really loving the socks and shoes combo at the moment, and look out for anything frilly or transparent with cute patterns. I bought these socks in black polka dots and they look much like the picture. They are really cute but there are also some down sides. The polka dots are a little uneven and there is some dye transfer on the transparent parts. They are also very small - I would only recommend these for girls with shoe size UK 3/4 or smaller.
image
I've seen a lot of girls online sporting these style of cherry clips and I wanted to give them a try! The design of these are just adorable and look great worn. However, like the socks, they did have small problems with them. For example, some of the hot glue that is used is visible. Also, the clip I received the cherries were glued off-centre which is a bit annoying. Overall, though, they are really cute.
image
Overall, I would recommend this store for accessories. Of course you always have to be wary of the quality of items you will receive when buying stuff from China, but the cute designs can make up for it. 

Some other cute stuff I may purchase!

Thank you for reading!
