Just arrived: Orange hip scarf

I received the orange hip scarf from this seller, but not the dress from this seller. It seems like it won’t come on time. I paid for express shipping but still didn’t come on time. Not happy. The seller offered a full refund though. Let’s see if I really get a full refund.

The orange hipscarf is really pretty! It’s as vibrant as the picture, and actually looks prettier. I’m very happy with it. I’ll post picture later.

Just bought: belly dancing costume + hip scarf

Halloween is coming and I need a costume! I don’t want to spend too much money on something I would wear once only, so I decided to get some dance costume which I can wear to my belly dancing classes.

So this halloween, I will hopefully dress as a hobo witch, if my costume comes on time and the size and colours are as expected.

I bought this gypsy set, the seller is able to customise the size. It’s coming from India. I’m not too confident buying clothes online but the seller have positive feedbacks so I thought I’ll give it a go. I’ll let you know the quality once I recieve it.

I also bought this orange hip scarf from this seller to colour up the costume and to match my witch hat.

The hip scarf is rather expensive for my liking but it’s different than what everyone in belly dancing class wears (which look like this) so I’m hoping it’s going to be worth it >__<

If none of these come on time for halloween, I’ll just wrap myself in a bedsheet and go as a ghost xD

Shop Review: yoNEED Jewelry

Shop: yoNEED Jewelry
Products: Fashion & bridal jewelry
Payment accepted: paypal, western union, direct deposit (for Europe & Australia)
Pro: Excellent quality fashion jewelry in budget price, cheap shipping cost.
Cons: complicated pricing system. It’s cheaper when you buy more. Site can be confusing for first timer.
Recommended for: bridal/formal accecories (tiaras, necklaces, etc), anyone who likes sparkly gem accecories.

Comments:

I came accross this site accidently when I was browsing ebay. They mainly sell factory made gemstones gold plated jewelry. Judging from several necklaces and bracelets that I bought, although they’re not the “real thing” (meaning, not real gold or diamond), they certainly mimic it well. I don’t know how long they last but I’ve had my necklaces for several months now and the chains and pendants are still sparkly. So I’m guessing as long as you don’t dip them in water on purpose, they’ll last quite long. My mom who’s a fashion jewelry collector (and loves her diamonds) was impressed by the sparkles of my chains that she took one home.

Their jewelry are perfect for those once in a lifetime occasion where you want to look a million dollar without actually spending a million dollar. From my experience, what you see on the site is what you get. The items are actually as sparkly as the picture.

I think the site mainly intended for wholesales but they do accept small orders, although they give more discounts when you buy more, which in a way can be bad because you’re tempted to spend more . So be strong!

You can get a cute stainless steel ring for as little as $2 or this sparkly princess tiara for just $10.

I bet their products will be sold for 5x the price once they hit offline stores. I wished I knew this shop when I was getting married! I paid a fortune for something that I can get for $10 at this shop!

Shipping is pretty fast, they ship your items alsmost immediately. They also give you a discount voucher in the mail with your item which will temp you to buy again! BE STRONG!

If I have to pick on something negative it will be their huge catalogue which can be overwhelming. Also, some items run out very fast, so pay attention at number in stock. If it’s low in stock and you really want it, get it immediately. They don’t usually restock the same design.
