Bodyline Coat and Clobbaonline /Secret Shop Tea Parties Reviews!

Today was a lazy day at home~. All I did today was stare at my computer screen, walk around my house, study, and eat! While playing around on the computer, I figured I should make a post reviewing my most recent purchases.

Okay! so my Bodyline coat:

And worn..

(see the weird bulge? orz;;)

It's surprisingly warm, first off! Wearing it keeps me nice and toasty. I've worn it out in snow and at 6:00 in the morning (coldest 14 degrees F) and stayed warm. I was worried it couldn't keep me warm in crazy weird Georgia weather, but it has proven me wrong. However, it's not layering friendly. When you use more than one or two waistbands underneath it, the midsection bulges a bit ;~;. Also, I've already had one button fall off and the others are a bit loose. The hook that secures the capelet also seems like it'll come off soon. But of course, these are all easily fixable. Other loose threads and normal Bodyline flaws are around too, but usually easily fixed or nothing to really fret over.

Overall, it's a 5/5 for ordering through Bodyline (shipping is always prompt, easy to deal with, no problems, etc, etc. The norm.)

and a 4.6/5 for the coat (I really wish it didn't bulge x~x)

Next off, my tea parties!

I bought the light pink Secret shop Tea Parties from Clobbaonline via pre-order in September, and after the release date getting constantly delayed, they finally came! Clobbaonline was wonderful to order from, and I would definitely order from them again and recommend them. They always responded very fast to questions and sent out emails to let me know about the release date extensions. The shoes finally shipped out on December 11th and arrived the 22nd or 23rd (I wasn't home when they got here;;). The tracking sucked, but thats not clobbas fault xD.

About the actual shoes:

The bows on the front of the shoes look a bit rushed. Instead of a folded bow like in the stock picture above, the bow is just two rectangles sewn together. It's easy to see the underside of the bows when worn (at least that's what my mirror tells me. My mirror is at an angle though.). That bothers me just a little bit and it's definitely worth noting. I'm not sure if they all come like that or I just got unlucky ;^;. Also, there is no Secret Shop logo on the inside heel (not sure of the correct term;;) so there is no way to tell what brand the shoes are, which strikes me as a bit odd. The color is also a bit darker than than pictured, so be prepared!

I give Clobbaonline a 5/5 for their awesome service :3.

And I give the Tea Parties a 3.7/5 because the awkward bow really does annoys me. xD

I hope I helped you guys out if you wanted to order these items through either places! ;u;

Wishlist: Shoes (Can you tell I like pink shoes? xD)

Shoes! I really love lolita shoes, even though I only own RHS right now (two pairs from double decker in pink and white!). Ever since I was three years old (or somewhere around there) I have been drawing and loving rounded toed, pink, cute, clunky shoes. I probably won't be buying anytime soon, unfortunately, but I love to keep wishlists and visuals around to remind me of my goals and wants, so heres some loli shoe eye-candy!

First off, with winter coming around, I've been looking at boots. My absolute favorites aree~

These! I don't quite know the name of them, but I have been eyeing them ever since I can remember. To purchase them from clobba is about $77 without shipping, so they're not that bad! Maybe next year, though :P.

Next are some gorgeous "boots" from BTSSB

I've always really liked the effects of boots like these, they just look so "dolly"and cute. It seems like the perfect pair for autumy/wintery coords, especially if you want sweet elegance!

And here are some cute BTSSB booties :3

I adore these for everyday wear, as well as lolita. I think I may need some eventually. Even though I'm not looking forward to buying brand shoes. For the price I would have to pay, and how easily I scuff shoes...yikes. Maybe replicas will come...

I wear heels/platforms every day. Not very high, no more than 3" at most (and its mostly so I don't feel silly on my tiptoes opening my locker;;;) So of course, Loli ones are needed. Some of the ones I've been eyeing recently are below~

First off, A pair of bodyline heels.

I kind of love these shoes xD. They are probably the only bodyline shoes that I like at the moment because I can totally see myself wearing these every single day if I needed too. They are so cute and go with pretty much everything I own! Sadly, they're sold out in the color and size I want them in ;^;.

I don't know what these are called (I've always though of them as high heeled tea parties :P) but, I've wanted them ever since seeing them in a GLB. So cute!

These wedge platforms. I adore them;; I hope I can get them sometime soon!

I also really like the cute scalloping details and the lace up possibilities with them :).

Last, but certainly not least, the so-called essential shoes for any modern day sweet lolita, Tea Parties

Even though I'm not so used to flats anymore, and I may have to stand on my tip toes to reach my locker, I actually have a pair of Secret Shop pink tea parties coming to me! I'm really excited about finally receiving a pair. Coordinating with them will be fun, and if I end up liking the way they look on me, I can hopefully start to collect all the colors! I already want mint, blue, and lavandar ones x3

So, tell me! What loli shoes do you guys own? Are there any you're coveting or looking forward to in the mail soon?

Thanks for taking a look!
