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!

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!
