Review: Y.R.U Clueless boots - Asos

I've been meaning to post but I always end up starting new posts yet forgetting to actually finalise and posting them. So I've got a few sitting on draft at the moment. Hopefully I'll get some more up this week but as we all know, uni finals are upon us and its time to actually start learning. Also just a personal update, I am finally 20 guys! Out of my teens yet still a child.

As seen on our instagram, I've gotten these boots a month or so back and finally got the chance to wear them a few days ago on my birthday dinner with the besties. So now here's the review. 

Morning of work, I received a lovely present from asos. Too bad I had to wait till I got home to open it.

Say Hi to Cookie 

Stats & Review:
ASOS:  
Pricing: 8/10 (Got this on sale + extra 10?% off). I think it ended up being $40 something.
Packaging and Delivery - 10/10. As always, Asos delivery is quick and arrives in a postage bag. They recently changed the design of the packaging. Props to that, looks much better than the plain black Asos postal bag they had before. This one even comes with handles! Took around 4-5 working days to Australia.
Customer Service (CS) - Didn't contact CS this time. All was well. The only thing I might be able to comment on is that anytime you ask them on their twitter or email about stock or restocking, they just have the generic answer 'we don't know but keep checking our website for new products'.
Previous experiences 10/10 - Receive the same experience every time with Asos, very consistent great service.
Y.R.U Clueless Boots: 
Size - US 6/UK 4 
Colour - Black
Material - Synthetic leather (not sure why dolls kill says leather upper, every other site says vegan leather), man made sole. 1 inch platform, 2.5 inch heel.
Packaging - 10/10. Came with wrapping paper and shoe stuffing.
Fitting - Like I said before I can't give an accurate fitting, only for those who have small feet like me (US 3/UK2). I will say it does seem to run a tad narrow even though my feet are a lot smaller in length. I don't think I have particularly wide feet so I'll say it runs a tad narrow. When I'm wearing them it pushes on the sides of my ankle, it'll be best to wear higher socks with these.
Comfort - 7/10. Based on my recent wears with these boots, its not as comfortable as I would've hoped. When I'm wearing them it pushes on the sides of my ankle, it'll be best to wear higher socks with these as they most likely won't stretch due to it being synthetic leather.

Here's a photo of them on!
Taken on the day I visited the Funkis sale. 

Stay tuned for a post with visuals, on my visit to the Funkis' Paddington store & their annual garage sale! Let me know if you have any questions! I'll be happy to answer them.

Till next time.

Wore this outfit to Free Comic Book Day 2015. Check our instagram for a snap of all the comics I got that day. This washed out setting accurately described the weather that day.
So tempted to use this mood on all my shots now...

New Vagabond Dioon Fisherman from Urban Outfitters+ Review

Say Hi to my Pastel Vagabonds, the perfect combination. 

Ash: 

I love Vagabonds shoes. They're stylish, comfortable and long lasting. My staple go to boots will always be my Leather Dioon 001 by Vagabond. I go uni in them, I go work in them, I go everywhere in them. This time I'm going pastel. Usually I only go pastel with hair dyes but look at them, they are perfection yet sizes too big. Yep sizes too big. Just letting you guys know now I am a Women's US/AU size 4 or a US Kids 3 so I can't really give accurate tips for fitting. I'll get my sister whos a size US 6? to 6.5? to give them a try and see how that is. I'll update back with results! My Dioon 001 are actually in a size US6 and they fit me fine wearing thick socks. 

But anyway onto the new shoes. I got them in a 6.5US - All shoes I wear are always too big for me anyway so why not. Plus it was the only size Urban Outfitters was going to ship to Aus and they were on sale so I bought them.  

Here are the visuals :) + Stats/Deets and Review down below!

Walk Through Sydney City

This time we headed to the City to snap some shots. Its been awhile since we took some in the City, as much as we love the city setting, its so hard to take any photos with the crowd there...
Luckily we found the Sydney Arcade alley. There weren't many people passing through here since some stores were under construction but glad we got some great shots here. Can't say the same for World Square though... We nearly had to stop after every shot.
Heres a couple of photos we got from the Arcade of Ash's outfit. Erica's and the boy's to come soon.
As usual the details will be posted below.
Enjoy x

We bought things ranging from skirts to hair bows to shirts and socks. Thank you to Ashley for making the trip (three times) and carrying back all the shopping. It's safe to say that she has a hand full.

Package No. Something. Denim Review.

Jeans, jeans, jeans 

Recently I've been obsessing over them second-skin high waist denim. Yes, it works so well with crop tops & petites like me (insert 'too happy' emoji). 

So on my search for a good pair of jeans, on AUD currency sites (that USD exchange rate is taking me nowhere) I come across SurfStitch's (SS) sale. Stocking all the denim brands I love, from Cheap Monday to Lee, it was too easy to click that add to cart. In the end I purchased a pair of A.Brand & another pair of DrDenim. I'm just going to put this out there, I have an ex-pair of Dr Denim Plenty which I also received from SurfStitch twice. Simply both times I received it, the stitching near the crotch of the jeans were always somewhat busted. Sigh... they fitted so damn good as well. I hope this isn't always the case for Dr Denim second skin denims cause I ordered the Solitaire from SS few days back. I'll put a review up once I've got my hands on the 2nd package, so keep a watch out for that! 

Anyway here are the photos of the denims on!

A.Brand, S - 7.

A.Brand, loving the dip dye wash. S - 7.
Fits perfect.

Dr Denim Regina, S - XS, 24/30

Dr Denim Regina - XS, 24/30
Fits perfect. 

Comments:
I range from a size 6-8 or XS/S depending on the brand, though the best fit for me is probably a 7, So hard to find them in between sizes...
I'll say the A.Brand pair fits perfect, doesn't run small or large, just perfect.
Dr Denim tends to run a tad bigger from my experiences. To note, I also heard Dr Denims have a tendency to expand after the first wash so go small I guess.
Those wondering the service of SurfStitch, based on all my 20+ orders with them. They've been on spot every time, great prices, service and awesome postage time.

That's all for today x
