An insight into the Funkis Sample Sale!

I was lucky enough to have the weekend off assignment-ing and exams on May 30th! In other words an excuse to shop those EOFYS.

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.

General Pants Sample Sale

A bit late but here it is. 

So this time we made it to GP's sample sale in Alexandria. Apparently its held there every year? not too sure but there seems to have been one last year as well. Initially we weren't going to go but since we missed the Minkpink/Evil twin etc sale last month due to Ashley being sick af, we managed to saved a bit of money for this one.

The event went over 2 days @ Unit 25, 30-32 Beaconsfield Street, Alexandria. Wednesday 15 April, 12pm - 6pm and Thursday 16, 12pm -7pm. 

We ended up going on Thursday and got there around 3pm. It was less crowded than we expected (previous experience from the Blackmilk sale, waited nearly 2 hours? in line).

I'm just gonna say the walk was bloody annoying... if you can drive, DRIVE there. I cannot stress this more... Its pretty much in the middle of nowhere, not near any shops etc, outside GP's head office? Situated in a small alley theres just racks of clothing, ladies on one side and mens on the other. We forgot to take some shots of the layout and prices, sorry! But i'll explain em anyway.

American Apparel Haul

As promised on our Instagram, we would like to show you what we scored from American Apparel. First of all, I would like to thank American Apparel for having a huge sale. 

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
