Haul & Review: Taobao clothes, bags, shoes, and accessories (with LOTS of pictures!! :3)

Hi everyone ~

I meant to post this before school started, but I did not get the time because my internship ended quite late. So, I am posting this now, after a busy term at school has been over. T_T"

I asked my aunt to help me order a few things from Taobao, and she shipped them to me in Canada, which is so nice of her :3 . For those of you who do not know it, Taobao is like an Ebay store in China. I am always quite skeptical about buying from them, as the things are so cheap. I have ordered once before, and some things I bought never arrived, which made me very disappointed. However, I do have to say that I did not encounter any problems when ordering this time, which means that their services may have improved, or I am just quite lucky ^_^".

#1: SuperLover navy floral backpack

Yay ~ I was so happy to get a new backpack ~ I had my old brown JanSport bag for a few years now, and it got holes at the bottom. When I saw this bag, I immediately fell in love *_*. It also came with a notebook as a freebie :3. However, after using it for 3 months, one zipper broke, and the crochet thingy on the other zipper fell off, which I had to sew back on. I was a little bit disappointed with the quality, and I don't think I will repurchase a backpack from this store.


 



 
#2: Beige chiffon dress with crochet collar

This dress is so cute *_* and comfy ~ However, being 5'7, this dress looks quite short on me, so I might have to wear something underneath. The lace and crochet detailing is so cute, and I can't wait for summer to come to wear this XD.




#3: Green shirt with white polka dots

This shirt appeared to me more formfitting when I saw it on the website. It is very loose, so I would wear it with a pair of dark skinny jeans and some white flats. I really like the lace detailing, but I was a little bit deceived by the fabric and the cut :\. In addition, the buttons seem like they would fall off easily.





#4: White shirt with floral collar

This shirt is just so girly and it was love at first sight for me *w*. I just had to get it. However, the cut is very similar to the green shirt above, which I do not like. I do prefer this shirt over the green shirt because of the fabric, as I can tuck it into a circle skirt, which is the next item I got. The buttons on this shirt are so adorable ~ but they seem like they would fall off easily.






#5: Navy circle skirt

This skirt did not seem very special on the website, but I purchased it because I thought it will go well with many things. When I got it, I was amazed by the quality and the way it looks on me. I do not really have any negative things to say about this skirt, except the fact that it is quite short, but I like short skirts, so it did not really matter to me XD.




#6: Beige open knit cardigan

This cardigan is great for the colder weather, and the quality is amazing for the price. I have been wearing this piece a lot, whether it's for going out or just lounging around. This is definitively a piece I would recommend! ^_^




#7: Pink dragon kigurumi

This was the most exciting item I wanted to order. I asked for the green one, but ended up getting the pink one, which I really like as well ^_^. The material is soooo soft and comfy, and the quality is very good. This keeps me really warm, a little too warm when I sleep in it even during the winter time @_@". In addition, I would have preferred if it was a zipper instead of buttons, but oh well :\.

 LOL it looks so huge when I hang it up xD
 
Such a scary expression = w = 



 
 
I got these flats because they looked cute and they were quite cheap. They fit me perfectly and they are as comfy as slippers, except that I can wear them outside the house :3. The only downside to these shoes is that the quality is not that great.
 
 
 
I fell in love with these shoes because they were so pretty *_* (as you can see from what I bought, I love bows ~). These fit really tight, so I am expecting blisters from these shoes T_T. 
 



 
This entire purchase came with freebies, which I love ^_^ ~
 
This hair bow is so pretty for a half do and some curly hair :3 ~ 

I love this periwinkle blue colour :3
 
That is it for my haul ~ I hope everyone has a happy new year :D
