Kawaii PowerUp Review!

Hellooooo~! Oh my God, it's been ages since I've posted on here! Sorry, I came back to Philly last month and school started up again, during which the internet wasn't working, which sucked! >:( Well, everything's fine now, at the moment, I'm looking for a job, hopefully I can get hired soon! 

Job = money = more stuff to buy and do reviews for~

Anyways, here's the review for Kawaii PowerUp! It's an Etsy store that makes kawaii, fairy kei, gamer and lolita inspired accessories for a pretty good price! I came across this shop through Instagram after entering a giveaway by her and surprisingly, I won first place! So I received three necklaces and a hair clip for winning and I couldn't wait until they got here!

Soon after we sent emails back and forth concerning the address and item colors, she notified me that it was sent out! A few days after, I received this!

 

(No address for you!)

I thought it was pretty smart of her to write that on the back, you know how mail carriers can be sometimes. -.-

Here's the accessories, neatly bubble-wrapped and placed in cute little Valentine's treat bags! And I got some extra little goodies too~

It's an adorable star hair pin, a button, and a business card with a 15% off code for future purchases! 

Sweeeeeeeet~ I also got a little note from the owner, which I absolutely adore. :')

Onto the items!

Music of the Heart Necklace

I really like the color of this necklace and it's a simple yet cute design! It's cut out neatly and I've already worn it a couple of times. I'm a little worried that if you apply a little too much force to it, it might snap, so I'm gonna be a bit more careful with this necklace. :x (I know from personal experience, ack)

 Dripping Glitter Heart Necklace 

(I can't find the link for this one, sorry :c)

This one is definitely my second favorite out of all of them~ Because it's silver, I can wear it with almost anything. And I really like the design because it gives it a bit of an edge! This also feels sturdier than the music note one, but nonetheless, I'm still going to take good care of it.

Glitter Starfish Hair Clip

God, I'm a sucker for hair clips, so I'm happy to have a new one to add to my collection. It's definitely not like any of my other ones, it's color and design makes it easy to spot in my cluttered box. >u< Anyways, this is also well-made and the alligator clip on the back is glued on well and sturdy! I haven't worn this one yet since I've been hiding behind hats due to this terrible weather.

Dripping Moon Necklace

 (I can't find the exact one, but there's a similar one in the shop :\)

Let me just say this: THIS IS MY ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE ONE OUT OF ALL OF THEM.

*ahem* Back to business. This is my favorite because of the design and its little elements on the inside with it's colored beads and holographic pieces. And it's pink! PINK! jasjpjfpeofjoef

Well, that's it for the review! I hope I did a decent job, this was my first time reviewing something. >.<

Overall: I highly recommend Kawaii PowerUp, there's a ton of accessories, including necklaces, hair clips, dust plugs, decoden phone cases, and bracelets for a good price! Hell, I plan to buy from her in the future for sure, there's a pair of Sailor Moon hair clips with my name on it! Ehehe~ c;

Oh, and if you buy something, use the code KAWAIIPOWERUP for 15% off your order!

Bye bye!

 

Playing Dress Up at Ross!

Hi guys! I started making this post days ago, but I never got to finish it up (*cough* because I'm a lazy bum who's been busy watching Kuroko's Basketball *cough*). I went shopping with my mom on Friday so we could get some Christmas gifts and as usual, we stopped at Ross a.k.a. one of the best stores EVER!

Shopping time!

 

I couldn't believe that these sneakers were Nike, they look so different, but in a good way! And they were on clearance too~ But alas, they had to stay on the shelf.

Those pastel nails, though... *-* (I realized after I took the picture that they're supposed to be for different days of the week, haha~)

As usual, I picked up a lot of clothes to try on, so here they are!

Crop Top & Striped Leggings

Crop Top:

I've been going crazy for crop tops lately and this one happened to pop up on the racks! I picked it up because it was a great price ($5.99!) and was made by one of my favorite brands that I see in Ross often, Ambiance Apparel. It fit well and I ended up buying it~ c:

Striped Leggings:

The leggings, though, oh my glob. *-*

They fit like a dream~ Unfortunately, I didn't have a lot of money on me at the time and my mom was paying for my stuff, so I put it back and said I would look for it when I go back to Philly.

Dress Shirt and Cross Leggings

Dress Shirt:

I found this in the clearance section for $5.49 and I picked it up because I liked the color and I could do with a few more dress shirts. Naturally, it fits a bit loose if you wear it out, but that was the intended style and I prefer it loose than tight. c:

Cross Leggings:

These fit well too, but lately, I've been getting tired of the cross designs, seeing as how they're showing up everywhere now. They were a spur of the moment thing, by the time I tried them on, I was already planning on putting it back where it belonged.

White Lace Dress

TALK ABOUT BEAUTIFUL! I didn't expect this to fit so well and look so good!

Alas...I did not buy it because I have enough dresses and it was about $16.99. (Broke Ally problems.)

Striped Shirt

Rating:

Eh...I don't know why I picked up this shirt...I think it was the bright colors? It was decent, but I didn't like how it fell on my torso. And if you look close, you can see the outline of my bra through it, which is a BIG deal-breaker for me. Big no no.

Floral Shirt

Rating:

Dat shirt tho. *u* I really loved the pattern for this shirt~ I was shocked at the price as I assumed it would have been more than $10, but it was only $5.99! I would have given it five hearts if the waist was more tucked in, the peplum shape just goes away once you put it on.

 

Peach Peplum Shirt

Rating:

I was, well, disappointed with how this shirt fit. It looked gorgeous on the hanger, but once I put it on...bleh. Looking at it in the mirror, it made me look like bigger around my waist, which wouldn't have been a problem with a darker color, but the peach makes it obvious.

Oh well, can't have everything. Maybe it'll fit somebody a little bigger than me and it'll look beautiful on them~ n_n

Out of all the stuff I tried on, I only bought the crop top and the dress shirt, which together, came up to $11.49. Not bad at all for some good quality clothes~

 If none of you have gone to Ross, I suggest that you do, they have everything there, from clothes to household stuff to electronics, for a lowered price. It's pretty much been my family's go-to store and that's where a good number of my clothes are from~

Thanks for reading! Until next time!
