Bodyline Review

As usual I have disappeared again -_- Not by fault of my own I promise! I'm so busy with work nowadays and trying to organise things, bah. Anyhow, I put in an order with bodyline just for some shoes and a pair of OTK socks, and wanted to share my experience with you :)


Ordering 5/5
I normally don't have issues with Bodylines website, even though the interface is lacking in user-friendly-ness, but ordering is relatively simple so I had no problems... Add to cart, pay, done!


Communication 4/5
I got a confirmation email immediately after paying, but I received a strange email a few days later saying something like, 'Don't worry your items are on their way, there was no problem." I'm not sure why they sent that.. Maybe as a precautionary email in case something went wrong? haha..


Shipping 5/5
Considering the public holiday that lasted from Friday until Tuesday, It was a speedy delivery(a week). I selected DHL purely because of the holiday shipping and such. Normally I'm not fussed with EMS which is calculated by weight, so next time when I order say, a heap of socks, I'd rather EMS.. DHL has a really cool feature that you can sign up to be notified when your parcel is moving and tell you where it is. It was extremely handy because I'm not always home, but I knew when it was in the city so I could be here. :) Packaging-wise, it looked like it went through a shredder or something! Nothing was harmed but still, be nice to other peoples stuff guys!I know you cant really see it in this photo, but the bottom left corner is all shredded and holey and such.. The other side is as well but that has my address plastered all over it ^_^

This is the Shoes and Socks straight out of the package... There is a *strong* chemical smell from the shoes. Its been a day now and they've aired out so it's all good :) I think if I order shoes again, in a lighter colour, I might order a crushable hat with them, they always seem to send those in boxes, and therefore will maybe not come all scuffed and abused?


Shoes 5/5
I purchased Shoes152 in the matte black colour, in a size 25.5.. I'm normally a US/AU size 9-9 1/2 depending on the brand, but I measured my feet and 25.5 was the closest.. They fit SO comfortably! In my opinion I like the extra room, it means I can wear thicker socks :) As far as quality, they're just as good as any other non-leather shoes I would buy, and for only $37? You can't really go wrong.


Socks 4/5
Socks279.. Normally there's no problems with socks, and this isn't really a problem so much as me being nit-picky.. :P
Here they are when you pull them out of their little package;

Cute hey? The lace is soft, and they have little bows on the front... right?
Wrong! One has a bow on the front, the other is a bow on the... back? Weird.. Nothing that can't be fixed by twisting the top half of the sock a little... But I might either take both bows off completely, of take the right one off and re-position it.. Otherwise this is a lovely pair of socks. Thin-ish while still being opaque. Like business socks I'd say! Another thing, these are perfect length! I'm nearly 5'10 and are a good few inches above my knees. I was really worried after hearing some socks end up not even going up to some girls' knees when they're advertised as nearly thigh high! But I'm happy with them nevertheless.

Overall 4/5
Minus the baaddddd chemical smell and the backwards bow, I'm thoroughly happy with my order :) I'm planning on doing a big sock order in the future as well so it should be fun!
In other news, I will be putting in a F+F order soon for a new skirt and JSK, so be on the lookout :)

Updates :)

Well that was fun, now back to what I'm supposed to be doing :)

Since last post I have finally acquired a Glomesh purse, thanks to my MIL for Christmas :) It's the black one I spotted at The Mill awhile back. I haven't had a chance to take it out yet but I will someday..
Next up we have a pair of shoes I had been working on. I've owned them for years but don't wear them much anymore and wanted to give them a new lease on life :) Enter copious amounts of glitter and modge podge!

Excuse the raisins! and the sock >.> ..... Anyway this was multiple coats of modge podge mixed with glitter, then the final layer of glitter *on* modgepodge.. I was thinking of spraying them with a lacquer or something but so far it makes it less sparkly.. And that would defeat the purpose..

Here we have my new favourite lashes, purchased for $2.80 from Daiso! The glue that comes with them is super good and lasts ages without falling off. These lashes are 3/4 length which I prefer just because they're easier to put on :)
They are super comfortable and I might need to go buy another pair cause I accidentally pulled some of the lashes out :( I have bought several pairs from Daiso and have to say, they're just as good if not better than the ones from Inglot(which are exppeennssiivveee!).
Onward! I picked up a few nail polishes and so far the one I've actually worn regularly is this one..It's made by Blush Amour, which it says is an Australian company. The colour is #79, best described as a metallic Lamborghini orange :) It costs about $2 and can be bought from most $2 shops. I got mine from the Bargain Trendz shop in Newmarket Plaza, in Flemington. I also bought 4 other colours but haven't had a chance to test drive them yet. So far though they are very smooth going on, not clumpy or thick, but not too watery. Very quick drying in my experience with them but could just the the bottles I bought :P And when I'm not working(My hands are constantly either being washed or under water) the polish lasts quite awhile without chipping away.
And finally the hairstyle I've been wearing when I can't be bothered doing anything with it :)

I actually did this in the park because it was so humid outside and I needed to put my hair up and off my neck, this was the end result and I was so happy with it that I do it regularly now :)

Anyway, I intend to post more often. I promise! With Tuesdays as a mandatory posting day, especially if I haven't posted all week. (Tuesdays are my day off!)
