Review: Unif So Called Boots + Solestruck

So this time we're back with the Unif So Called Boots! Similar to Erica's Unif Gosh boots, it has that Unif Signature metal plate on the back of the heel except the So Called reaches mid-calf. Pretty much we have the Gosh boot's big sister. All leather with a synthetic sole, 3"heel and 1" platform.

Stats & Review:
Solestruck  
So Called Boots 
Pricing: 8/10. The boots itself was at a good sale price $76 USD if I recall correctly. I bought these along with another pair of boots last year so the price will differ as the aus dollar as fallen since then :'(. Other than their big sales, Solestruck can be pretty pricey.
Packaging and Delivery - 7/10. I'm not sure how I feel about Solestruck's policy of no shoe boxes unless you pay an extra 15USD. I'm not sure if this applies to US customers but it does for international customers. Thankfully its free shipping to Aus when you spend over $99 but this of course excludes shoe boxes. They have a small list of countries that have free shipping for over $99 orders.
Customer Service (CS) - ? I haven't contacted CS as I never had an issue with their orders so I can't really comment on this.
Word of Advice on Solestruck - 
Nothing negative however I have been shopping on Solestruck for a few years or so now and they haven't had any big sales this year like they usually do... Maybe one will come soon but during their sales they generally have take an extra 50% on sale items.
Unif - So Called: 
Size - US 5
Colour - Black
Packaging - 10/10. Came with some foamy dust bag  and shoe stuffing. The usual.
Fitting - I'm usually a US 4.5 but these fit me fine. All the sites says it runs true to size (TTS) and it probably does.
Comfort - 8/10. Definitely very comfortable but the zippers can get pretty annoying as they fall down at times especially when you run. This is a commonality between all my unif shoes... if they have zippers they just unzip themselves ==.

That's it for the So Called! Now for our next boot review... Armada, Choke or Gosh?

Drift Away

Beyond awhile

This shoot was well, spontaneous. I'm glad we went back to our spot, these shots blew us away. The weather was just amazing that day... it makes me miss summer. 

Back with the shades, we pulled off some pretty mad shots. Also for you petites out there, Ash's dress is from the kid's section and it fitted perfectly (haha)!

When my hair was multi-coloured again. Finally remembered to add rings this time, I just keeping forgetting to accessorise especially with the collection of rings I have. Back in 2013 I had this obsession with rings, animals, flowers, skulls and spikes. I wanted them all. I shall take a photo of them all one day. Think I'm more of a choker collector at the moment (got all mine from Lovisa when they had a closing down 70% off sale, hehe) 

How many rings do you have? 

I'll post our review of the Unif So Called Boots soon. 

So keep an eye out for it ;)

Decided to head to the park for this shoot. Although the sun made it hard to take some good shots, the park definitely was a good choice for environment. The more I look at this shoot, its giving me those school jigger vibes (haha). 

My obsession with plaid is not going anywhere. Completely devoted to this Moto Jacket by Tripp NYC, though the buckle can be rather useless as it just slips out no matter what you do to it. 

We're on holidays yet we're even busier than before. 

Oh, by the way happy 2016 :D. 

Maybe this year we can finally start our Youtube channel (Hah)

Review: Unif Alec Boots + Nasty Gal

Back with a review. This time on one of my favourite brand UNIF's Alec Boots (left). I will be doing a review of the Armada boots later (right)  I just haven't worn it as much as the Alec and tying those laces is way more consuming than it needs to be, especially for my usual uni run to the station. 

On wards to the deets, from the UNIF site the Alec has a 2.5" heel and a 1.5" platform in the front. Its definitely 100% leather and 'runs true to size (TTS) '.

You can check it all out, with some further stock shots @https://www.unifclothing.com/products/alec-boot 
Check out our instagram @8ateam for more shots. I wish I had to time to post all my outfit shots on here but I don't thus instagram. So check it out! 

I haven't uploaded our shots from this shoot but its coming with all the deets soon.

Stats & Review:
Nasty Gal (NG): 
Pricing: 7/10. The pricing was okay. Nastygal was having a massive sale when I purchased these boots. The only reason I got them for a decent price was due to the fact I had some credit at Nastygal but aside from that the pricing on Nastygal is generally pretty darn exp $$$. I got the Armada boots in the same order.
Packaging and Delivery - 8/10. Came in a massive box with some bubble bags inside. The usual.
Customer Service (CS) - 5/10. In contrast to the experience I had with NG previously, the CS was horrible this time. Pretty much I had two orders and one of them got cancelled. The whole order was cancelled. I'm not one to rage but this time it pissed me off as I wasted a lot of my time taking items in and out. So I contacted CS and explained the situation and my disappointment. All I got was a generic apology and it wasn't even if the CS assistant cared, the way she replied was just so blunt and rude. I honestly wish I could've gave their CS a better rating based on previous experiences.
Word of Advice on NG - 
I placed two orders, a day after the other and my second order was cancelled. NOT just ONE item it was all of them! I had like 4 items or something. It wasn't just me, there were heaps of customers also complaining about this on Facebook. I was really upset because I had just wasted so much time choosing the items I wanted and it gets cancelled. Sometimes these things can't be helped but really, all of my items got cancelled. As a company that is a online based store, they really shouldn't have out of stock items as in stock.
Unif - Alec Boots: 
Size - US 5
Colour - Black
Packaging - 10/10. Came with some foamy dust bag  and shoe stuffing.
Fitting - I'm usually a US 4.5 but these fit me pretty perfectly. The Alec most likely runs half a size smaller, I also saw this stated from other reviews as well. So lucky me.
Comfort - 8/10. The zips can get a tad uncomfortable here and there. Its best to be worn with longer socks.

Let me know if you have any questions! I'll be happy to answer them.
I'll also post up an outfit with them on soon.

Till next time!

Dark Days: The Lost Ctd

Tribute to Glamour Kills - Create, Love, Destroy, Hate. 

Don't know if you guys know but GK's website recently went down with a R.I.P Tomb image over the website with 2005-2015. Yep, an actual wtf moment for us. 

It is one of the only brands that sponsor bands and have our favourite bands (Tonight Alive, You Me at Six) wearing their merch. Creating awesome shit since 2005 literally. 

Clothes, Attitude and just everything.
