Taobao (Winter '15) Haul (+ Taobaoring)

Aaaahh it is here! My winter Taobao haul :3 I am so happy with all of the items, but especially with the over the knee boots.


I have finally switched shopping services and this time I decided to try out Taobaoring. After past experiences with both Pruany and Taobaospree I am super pleased with them. Taobaoring's shopping cart system is very easy to use, their English impeccable, and any queries are answered pretty fast.I paid for EMS shipping and the package took exactly 7 days to arrive (it got detained at UK Customs). The packaging is secure (everything was fitted snuggly) and all of my purchases are wrapped individually as well.

♥ Hello Kitty jacket 

This is a thin jacket, the colours are quite bright in person. It hits me right in the hip which feels a bit too short for my taste, but its a cool jacket nonetheless.

♥ Sailor Moon sweater

This sweater comes in two lengths (short and long). I got the long one and it covers my butt properly. It is really warm, with fuzzy fabric on the inside!

♥ Sweet hoodie

Also really warm, and its the cutest design ever. I use this for decora/fairy kei type of coords. The length is perfect for lazy days/leggings and petti combinations.

♥ Hello Kitty crop top

I was surprised at how thick the fabric is, I was expecting a summer top and got a nice warm winter one instead! I really love this one.

♥ Heart keyhole top

I wouldn't reaally call this a typical keyhole top since the heart cutout is very tiny and cute rather than sexy and revealing. For some reason it doesn't look very flattering on me :(

♥ Pettiskirts

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THESE. They are the perfect playful length, and look really nice under a big loose hoodie or top especially.

♥ OTK boots

I've been searching for months for the perfect pair and they are finally mine! I actually would have preferred them to have a little bit of a heel or platform but other than that I'm quite happy. I do have to say that the main reason they are comfy is thanks to my medical insoles, without them they are regular not-so-good-for-foot-health Taobao shoes.

♥ Cherry/White Rabbit berets

Either I have a big head or these run small. They are very nicely made though, the cherry one is adorable.

♥ Starry tights

Lovely, but very delicate.

♥ Doughnut Hairclips

Squishy doughnut clips. Cheap and cute but they fell off the alligator clips after a couple of wear so I need to glue them back together.

♥ Pom Pom earrings

Everyone seems to be wearing these nowadays. These are very soft! I have stopped wearing them because been told by a friend that they are usually made from rabbit fur - which made me pretty upset. Next time I really need to find out the materials before purchasing anything vaguely fur-like.

♥ Tuxedo Mask bag charm

They stock all of the sailor senshi as well, I really need Sailor Uranus and Mercury next!

♥ 3D Mousepad

Sorry-not-sorry. I couldn't resist Sena my beloved waifu (from Boku wa Tomodachi).


 I did spend a bit more than usual but for the prices (5-20£) it was really worth it, the quality of the materials and the construction was superior to most previous purchases. It really does pay to choose shops with crown rank!
