[REVIEW] 59 Seconds Floral Dress

Ok so waaaaay back in September I did a Yesstyle order and they came the following week but I never actually reviewed the items lol
I'm still way too lazy to review ALL the items (despite the fact I'm on uni holidays now) so here's one for now.

Being the fourth day of holidays I decided to catch up with an old high school friend. We just had a simple lunch together then headed off the museum, which practically had nothing and no one in it because they were renovating for the next show. I took this opportunity to wear one of the dresses I've been dying to wear but just didn't have time, the right occasion, or the right weather.


Brand Name: 59 Seconds
Floral Print Chiffon Dress

True to stock image! The material is chiffon and there is a satin layer underneath so the dress feels very smooth to the skin when worn =)

I originally disliked this one because I thought I looked like something out of Peter Pan with that collar/flappy thingy >__> But after wearing it today, I changed my mind. I love this dress!!! You can see on the website image the dress is very short and on me, it is no exception. It just covers my bum lol I was going to wear heels (like the stock image) but I though that would make my dress ride up even more >< That's probably my own complaint. If I was shorter it would probably be the perfect length. But I don't mind the length too much since it's so hot here now ~~ There is a green version also available.

And just a few more self-vain photos xD





My mom said I looked like a 15 year child while my friend said my dress reminded me of her grandmother's quilt and the wallpaper LOL

[[UPDATE]] Too many O_O

It's been way too long since the last blog post so here is quick rundown:

No more blonde~!
Yes just last week I dyed my hair to some brown color lol I was getting sick of the black roots being a disgusting contrast against the 'blonde' (I don't really consider it blonde anymore, more like orangey/blonde =\) so I decided to go brown. I just used a bottle from the chemist. It didn't change my black roots but now the roots blend more nicely with the brown and don't stick out so much.

I used Schwarzkopf Perfect Mousse in Hazelnut. In a nutshell, it's shampoo type hair dye. I thought it would easier but no. I personally only recommend this to people who have short long. Medium-long hair is too annoying to use this with.



Honestly, don't the End Results look all the same?


SAMSUNG GALAXY S2
New phone~! I'm on a plan with this one. I just wanted a new phone because ... well ... the old one was ... old lol
I've noticed many of the phones on the market have pretty much similar styles and design ie. the giant touch screen and applications with a few differences in between each phone brand. My only major tiff with this phone is the keyboard for messaging! I constantly keep hitting the period/full stop button because it's right next to the space bar!! It's very annoying so my messages usually contains.something.like.this >_>

It looks prettier now since I got a light pink phone case for it =D And I got some pink themes happening !

YESSTYLE ORDER ~!!!
I will make a whole new post dedicated to my Yesstyle order~! I'm actually disappointed with one of the clothing pieces I received but more in detail later.

Another Yesstyle order!!!

A few days ago, my friend and I placed an order through Yesstyle since they were having a special promo for Australians, that if customers spend more than $99 worth then shipping would be FREE!!! Of course we both jumped aboard ! Normally it's $150 & more to get free shipping. It's been a while since I've done some serious shopping and with this order, I'm going to have to force myself not to buy anything (clothes-wise) in the next 2 months~!

I've ordered through Yesstyle twice previously and I've been pretty satisfied with the clothes condition. They're not cheap and flimsy, like other asian fashion sites I've tried and good quality!

This is what I ordered:






My friend ordered these:




These are expected to ship out on the 12th of September! Can't wait! =D

Yesstyle Haul~!

So my yesstyle order finally came in today! It was pretty fast shipping too. They sent it out on Monday 28th Feb and I got it today (Thursday 3rd March). Well...I guess that's expected of express shipping =)

I post my photos and review here on blogger because the layout of tumblr isn't that great when it comes to posting photos.

So I ordered 4 dresses, 1 box of facial masks and 1 Shu Uemura eyelash curler. I had also ordered 3 other items (a tote bag, a lace belt and a beauty product) but I couldn't get them due to it being out of stock so I recommend buying items that are already in stock on the website so you can get your items quickly!

(Just a quick reference I am about 164cm tall and weigh 48kg)

First item was a Heart Patterned Hooded Knit Dress from 59 Seconds in black.

This is made from wool and is very warm when worn. Since it's summer at the moment, I've got ages until I get to wear this. It is a lil bit tad tight but hopefully after a few washes, it will stretch. As for it being a 'dress', not sure I would wear it as it is. I'd most likely wear skinny jeans or leggings underneath. The sweater dress gives no shape so it looks really awkward when worn on its own.

Brand name: ageha@shibuya
Keyhole Back Checkered Dress




True to the stock image! The 'keyhole' at the back of the dress is just as it is pictured...there was a part of me hoping it would be a mistake and when they send it, it's slightly modified that the hole was smaller but noooo....there's a giant gaping gap at the back of this cute dress ==" I personally don't like it but good thing i have long hair! The 'skirt' part of the dress is very warm so I believe this is more of an autumn/winter dress.

I had trouble getting into the dress at first because where the checkered part meets the black skirt, it is not a stretchy band. So I struggled for a good 5mins trying to figure out how to get of the dress without ripping it. I eventually figured out there was a zip on the left side of the dress and that made it easier to get in and out of the dress =_=

Brand name: Tokyo Fashion
Short-Sleeve "Bow" Panel Dress in Dark Blue



A little bit of loose threads when I received it but nonetheless true to stock image! However, that bow that is attached is actually pinned on, not stuck on.



You can also pull it apart and redo the bow if necessary.


Brand name: 59 Seconds
Lace-Up Sheer Back Dress




My second favorite item! Obviously this dress is more for nightclubs than day time wear. It's tight and figure-hugging and exact same to image. The lace back seems very delicate so need to handwash rather than throwing it into the washing machine. BUT the one thing I was disappointed about was the extra bit of lace they sent (pictured below). It's suppose to 'tie up' the back of the dress but it's flimsy and seems like it will easily break. So I need to buy ribbon from the craft store or something.




The beauty stuff came wrapped like this.




My Beauty Diary - Strawberry Yoghurt Masks
Says it's suitable for normal-combo skin so why not?



Shu Umeura eyelash curler. I already have one but I wanted to replace the rubber pad on it ><

Overall, Yesstyle's quality of clothes is far better than AFW or other online fashion stores I have tried. I liked how with some of the modelled photos, they mentioned how tall and how much the model weighed (ie. the sheer lace back dress) so that gave me an idea on how it would look on me because of the similar height & weight. I'd definitely be buying from them again.

Strangely enough, I did not get charged shipping for this order. It says on the website, if you order more than $150AUD then it's FREE shipping. If it's less, then it's $9.99 for shipping. However my order came to a total of $131.40AUD and that's all I got charged for .... COOL ^^,

And the best part of this haul? Popping the bubble wrap afterwards xD
