Online purchases, rated

6 Comments

This is a sub-post to my other blog post titled: Ebay Purchases, rated. I thought it would benefit people to see what I bought online and if it is, in fact a good representation of the photos they show, in order to sell their product.

The advertised ring.

The ring on my finger. It’s really a glossy old color and very shiny like it showed online. Note: I got a size 6, but it happens to fit on my middle finger and ring finger comfortably (my ring finger is like 5.5 and my middle is about 7). What’s cute about this ring is that you can order a super small size and wear this ring in a very trendy way. On your next knuckle, up by the tips of your fingers.

Seller: jewelleryplaza
Item: Lady Party Ball Jewelry Simple Style 3-in-1Silver Gold GP Fashion Ring
Paid: $0.99 + $5.00 shipping. Worth the price? Yes
Location: China
Delivery: 16 business days from when I placed the order, to when it arrived.
My opinion: I don’t think I’ll wear the gold or silver rings on their own but the ‘rose gold’ one is pretty on its own. Also, stacked how I have it is also my favorite way to wear the rings.
Overall rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Seller: maemovement bracelets
Item: bracelets
Paid: $35.00. Worth the price? Yes, because it goes to a great cause.
Location: USA
Delivery: 14 business days from when I placed the order, to when it arrived.
My opinion: Love the bracelets. Have yet to wear my red one as often as the other two colors though.

Seller: Tatame77 on Ebay
Item: Pink/White Korea Ladies Womens Chiffon Top Blouse
Paid: $13.26 + $2.99 shipping. Worth the price? Yes
Location: Hong Kong
Delivery: 6 business days from when I placed the order, to when it arrived.
My opinion: Holy moses. The fastest shipping ever from Hong Kong. Six business days. The top was really pretty online, a nice peachy pink sort of color. Very faint. In person it’s more of a true baby pink. Though, it is quite nice and you can see how it fits on me, above. I don’t know if I’d purchase this in a store if I saw it on a hanger. I wish it were more peachy like it was shown on the model.

Seller: Amazon.com
Item: Seychelles Women’s Time Will Tell T-Strap Sandal
Paid: $96.88 Worth the price? Yes
Location: USA
Delivery: 2 business days from when I placed the order, to when it arrived.
My opinion: These are way more comfier than I had imagined! I love Seychelle’s shoes, my flats from them have lasted years (purchased in 2006!), so I didn’t mind dropping the bills on these wedges.

Shoe Lust

No Comments

Last week I went into the mall to return a few things and I walked passed Aldo shoe’s. I even tried on a bunch of nice wedges and heels and left lusting after a couple.

1. Duffey low heel 2. Olowe wedge 3. Wentzell heel

The first pair on the left, I have the perfect outfit in my head. White skinnies, and a royal blue blouse I have from H&M. Plus these? Awesome. I wish the heel were the same color as the shoe though. As for the middle pair, I actually hemmed and hawed on these for a while. I had my self-tanner on with bright toe nail polish. They looked great and of course were comfortable, but definitely not worth the $90.00 as they were ticketed.

I did some research and actually found the second pair listed above, for half price on Amazon’s site at $48.99. I doubt I’ll end up buying them. I already have three pairs of semi-nude wedge/heels. I don’t need a fourth!

Are you a shoe girl? Or maybe you’re a purse girl. I think I’m both :)

I like Wordless Wednesday: week in photo posts. I’ve only done one before. I may continue! What do you think?

  1. Healthy supper: chicken wraps (chicken, alfalfa sprouts, red pepper, cherry tomatoes) and a salad (cucumber, pine nuts, croutons, red pepper, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, alfalfa sprouts).
  2. The local CrossFit Box I attend
  3. Muscles :)
  4. A Fossil watch and my MaeMovement bracelets
  5. Attending a work BBQ for a local Charity 
  6. The best lipgloss around: Buxom. It has a cooling sensation and I’ve used almost half the tube up! Awesome.
  7. Remember when I asked if I should get the peach or red colored sweat shirt from VS Pink? Well…
  8. Nail polish display at Sephora
  9. Sitting down in the large VS Pink change rooms
