Review: SpreePicky / Sailor Moon Pullover

Not really Lolita related but the store also offers Lolita items, so I will post my review about SpreePicky. SpreePicky belongs to TaoBaoSpree, which is also the Taobao Shopping Service I trust.
On November 29th I bought the Sailor Moon sweater and paid via Paypal. It was $42.99 and because of a coupon code, I paid $38.70 in total.
It was a pre-order so the item was shipped on December 15th.
My friend who ordered it the same day got it on December 21st, I fetched it at my local custom office on January 2nd but that's not SpreePicky's fault.
It was in a SpreePicky shopping bag and in an bubble-wrapped envelope. I even got a small present, a hair tie and a 5% voucher for my next order.


It's onesize and pretty big. Oversized for casual/cute looks. It's really warm and cosy and I simple love it ♥

The print has some minor printing mistakes but I didn't expect a high-end quality product ;)


This is me wearing my new sweater.

I'm very satisfied with my order and the ordering process through SpreePicky. I definitely recommend their shop.

Lolita stuff I bought in April/ Antaina Review

I didn't get much in April, nothing to be honest because I ordered the following shoes in March and fetched them from customs today but I will count them for April ;D If not, the post would be empty.

 

I sent a mail on March 23rd to Yoyo, the international customer service. I got a reply the same day with the prices in USD dollar including my preferred shipping method (registered airmail).

After talking about sizes, I paid on March 26th and got a mail that they will inform me when the package was shipped. They said they need 10 working days to finish my shoes.

On April 15th I asked about an update of my order because I haven't heard from them since the end of March. April 17th, I got a mail back with the tracking number and a note that it was sent out on April 8th.

On Tuesday (April 30th) I got the a letter from customs and today I released them from there ;D

I was SHOCKED when the woman from customs gave me the package. It was a damaged shoe box with just a transparent plastic bag around it.

I already threw away the plastic bag.



Inside the box, everything was okay - phew!! After paying a small fee, I got my shoes and tried them on. I bought size 37 which is 23,5cm. The blue shoes fit totally fine, are even a bit too big and the pink shoes are a little bit too small but I think I can live with it. I measured the foot in-length and it's both 23cm (still 0,5cm too small from what they have to be) Maybe it's the cut that one fits and the other one doesn't? Two of my friends had the same problem with the pink shoes.

Both shoes look okay, the ribbons look a bit loose but are sewed on, I hope there will be no problem.
Some more pictures:








At the moment, I can't say it they are comfortable because I haven't worn them for more than a minute. But the heels are not that high, I will be ok ;D

For your interest, here are the original TaoBao links:
Pink shoes and Blue shoes. They look like the ones in the pictures, so no problem there. I paid 29,67 USD for a pair.

So all in all, my conclusion is mixed. The shoes are okay for the price but the customer service is not sooo good, the packaging could have been much better!! Measurements are not correct, like I said, friends of mine had the same problem. So better order a size bigger and if they are too big, you can use soles ^_^

Lolita stuff I bought in March

I collected my Lolita stuff I bought in March for one post ^_^

I bought the first piece/set in February already but got it in March. It's the black Rose Toilette JSK with matching bonnet and canotier. My dream is to have the pink JSK and the mint OP, too! No skirts, please ;D But I think I will be Lolita for a little longer so I still have time left to collect them ^-^

But the bonnet is already sold to Nora (visit her public blog, too!) I will only keep the canotier :)

Next is this blouse I bought off ebay. It's also cute for casual looks but I want to wear it with Lolita, too:

Here is the ebay link.It's really cute, I love the lace details. But I don't like the fabric so much.

I bought this Metamorphose dress from Closet Child. Black dresses are always hard to show but trust me, it's gorgeous. Velvet and chiffon with cameo buttons, lovely ♥ But I won't wear it in the near future because I hope weather will be better so I can wear my flower printed dresses ;D



This is the last Lolita item from March, it was in my TaoBao order. At first, I had a long-sleeved blouse, too but it had the same colour as this one and I wanted another one which was sold out. (But my shopping service didn't tell me -_- But I got a refund) It's really pretty and I want it in all available colours :D

Here is the taobao link.

Now I'm looking forward to the upcoming meetups like Candy Day or the conventions in May. Next time I will tell you about the next events and my outfit planning.
Have a nice Easter-Monday ^_^
