Candy Japan

Monday, 11 March 2013

What's better than a suprise package that you forgot was coming? A suprise package full of sweets which arrived in my postbox ready for when I got back from college! And Japanese ones at that, it's even better because I have no idea what they are going to taste like until they go in my mouth, they all look very interesting tho.

Like Glossybox and Deluxe Bite (which I featured earlier this year) Candy Japan is a twice monthly packet of all sorts of Japanese sweets,  hand picked by the couple behind the idea -Bemmu and Nachi. and as you can see in the photos below, they are completely different every time!

Second Batch*

Id reaalllyyy love if you were to think about maybe voting for me at the Company Blog Awards in association with New Look this year in either Best Personal Style Blog category or the Best Personal Style Newcomer. It'd mean so much to me as blogging through this past year has become such a huge and everyday part of my life. I spend a lot of time doing it and it's something that I really enjoy. It has helped me more than you could ever imaging with building my confidence and making me happy.

I recently had a bad experince with online store Daisy Street. This happened nearly a month ago now and i have only just decided to post about it on my blog, its a scary thing posting a bad review but I just wanted to warn you all to what happened to me. Luckily I'm happy to be annoying and persist to get my money back but im quite sure that if I didn't, I'd still be £23 down.

Disco pants are all the rage right now, I had black and now i wanted red! I know AA do them but I didn't have £70 spare so I searched online for them everywhere and was super excited when I came across them on Daisy Street. Normally I wouldn't order from websites that aren't too well known but I'd seen a few bloggers talk about it before and I thought it should be fine. Well I was wrong. I just wanted to warn you guys in case you were thinking about ordering from them. 

I recieved my disco pants fine, i tried them on & took a quick snap (as bloggers do) but they weren't right, they were baggy for a size 8 and a different red than advertised on the site (check out the photo) and I didn't like it. That was fine, I'll just send them back and get a refund right? 

I took my package to the post office on 25th Jan and paid extra to get recorded devilery. Good job I did because my package got lost on the post, I don't know. 
Heres how it went. I contacted them to say that I hadn't yet received my refund nearly 2 weeks later. They said that's not right and asked for my recorded delivery bar code so I gave it to them. I'm thinking that oncve they'd realised that they actually had to give me a refund and never replied. that was on the 11 Feb.

 Well I wasn't letting them get away with not replying so I messaged them again on the private message - Oh that's really not good! Will I still get my refund? Have you had any news on my package or refund?? - No reply? Fine I'm taking this public. First I tried Facebook. I posted on their Facebook wall and no reply. Then I moved on to twitter. I tweeted them and no reply, except they were replying to other people that's that did it for me so I carried on tweeting four or five times and I think I broke them haha I got a private message saying I'd been refunded on the 15th
£3 less than I was expecting but I wasn't too bothered. At this point it was more about principle than the money. They also gave me an £5 voucher probably hoping that I wouldnt do this.
Im Still not 100% that posting this is a good idea but I'm going to do it. I hope it was worth writing up and hopefully will make you think twice when ordering from a website that your just not sure about.

The Sun Has Got His Hat On

Monday, 4 March 2013

woohoo, we finally got a glimspe of the sun today although it was still kinda cold out, so I'm easing my way into summer clothes slowly - I wore a nice bright colour to go with the sunshine but obviously I wore a coat too, don't be silly its not that warm, it's still actually quite cold out. 

By the time we got Molly it was already getting cold out so we haven't had a chance to go outside and play with her in the garden much. So whenever we have enough sun we all rush outside and play with her. She's so playful and loves a little kick about with the football which is good becuase my brothers are both football addicts.

Andrew delivered to me my four easter eggs today (which i left at his house at the weekend) woo  this is installation part two. I've eaten my way though four eggs already and now I have four more, well on my way to beating lasts years record of 28.

Flash.ON nails GIVEAWAY

Sunday, 3 March 2013

Am I right in assuming alot of you ladies are big fans of having lovely nails? I'm pretty sure I am. I love experimenting with pretty designs and pattens.

We all have our favourite style be it sexy reds, dark blacks or fun bright neons, either way everyone loves a freshly polished nail.

Nail art is taking over at the moment but for me, I find it so time consuming and they never come out absoultely perfect. Well for anyone who agrees with me I've found the most amazing solution ever.

While I was at the Professional Beauty show at the Excel Centre I came across a stand called Flash.ON Nails, as soon as I understood this crazy looking machine I was totally obcessed. They recently has a pop up shop in Oxford Streets Topshop which, sadly I didnt have time to visit but don't worry, they are currently looking for a new venue. As I got talking to the creativce pair working there I discovered that not only does the social media manager live basically down the road from me but we also went to the same school.. crazy?!

Anyway let me explain, The idea is that this machine prints anything you like onto your nail or a fake one. It has a built in camera so you can have photobooth pics with friend printed straight on to your nail. It also has a USB port so you can import your own photos as well as their library of all different bits and pieces- Initials (like what i had), The One Direction boys and even photos of Will and kate, theres alot to choose from and each nail only takes a minute or two. It can all be done on top of whatever you have on our nails, but seeing as they dont have a stand at the moment they can also print whatever you like onto a set of fake nails like I have here.

I love the desgin, and galaxy print is super cool so I'm giving away this lovley set of pre printed nails

Criminal Damage

Saturday, 2 March 2013

Just wanted to show everyone this outfit today! I wore it on friday while I was at my internship with Electric tees. If you follow my instagram you will see that this year, the jumper I wear more than anything is my pink and purple one from Fox Vintage. Well this jumper here is the past equivelant from two years ago. It was my favouite jumper and I only stopped wearing it becuase it dissapeared, my mum just stopped washing it for some reason but last week I found it in a bag under the bed and regained my love for it straight away, isnt it cute?! 

Andrew bought it for me when I was in the midst of my emo/scene stage, criminal damage was my go to shop, I'd have bright green jeans with lightning bolds and red ones with zebra print to go with my green, pink or purple hair. Although I don't dress like that as much now there are stilll a few aspects of my life like it, my bedroom for example is still covered in rock posters but there are now just some photos and girly bits blue tacked on top of that hahah
