Why KokoPie is terrible.

Haven't posted in a while but here goes. This is my honest review of KokoPie. Short version: I made two orders from them, each order came A MONTH LATER after my initial purchase and each package had MISSING ITEMS. Customer service was vague and hardly helpful, giving pitiful excuses. Oh and should I say that shipping was way overpriced? Bullshit. Long version: So as I said, I made two orders. First order was for two hats. Second order was for a sweater, shirt, and numerous pins and patches. (I'm not even gonna show pictures. Pins were nice, patches as pictured, shirt was a bit thin, hat was made out of sturdy material) I ordered both the week of black friday and thanksgiving. Maybe you might think I'm being too harsh about this but really? Four weeks to receive two packages? Keep in mind that this is a US BASED SELLER WITH THREE PACKING LOCATIONS. I messaged them and they got back to me apologizing for the wait. They said that because it was black friday and they had more orders than expected that things were taking a while. But really? How are you gonna be unprepared for black friday with three locations. Again, sounds like bullshit to me. The first package to come in was the larger order: I was ecstatic then very much pissed off to see that my sweater and one of the patches were missing. Really? I wait three weeks to have items missing? They said that they could either refund the patch price or I could wait, and that my sweater would be shipping from California (which is the state that I live in btw). I opted to wait for the patch since I really wanted all of my items more then anything else. As for my other package with the hats that has yet to be received, they said that they had actually been sold out after the first five hours. Wait what? When I ordered the hats, there was no such thing notifying me that it was sold out. Why keep selling something that you've sold out of??? They said that their provider in China takes a while to ship, therefore the delay. At first, they said that they would ship the missing patch with the two hats and I said thats fine. However, they said that they would ship the patch and the sweater together so the second package would just be the hats and now I'd be waiting for a third package. Second package arrived about ten days after the first, but guess what? ITS MISSING THE OTHER HAT. Are you serious?! So now I'm possibly looking at waiting for another TWO PACKAGES. FOUR IN TOTAL. I messaged them, but since it is the holiday weekend, they can't check until next week. I had such high hopes for this store but now I am thoroughly disappointed and pissed off. And cute items and products, but do I really have to go through this much just to get them? Forget it.

These were literally my sandals of the summer. I wore them practically every time I went out because I’m not kidding when I say these went with everything in my closet. And as of right now, they’re only $12 at Payless. I felt like the leather wasn’t of the best quality but you can’t pass em up at a price like that. And just as another heads up, walking in them takes a bit of getting used to (my friend said she felt a weird pulling sensation from the buckled area when she walked in them).

I felt like giving these shoes a lil shout out because considering the price and how often I’ve worn these things, they definitely deserve it.

Tip: If you are going to buy these, I suggest signing up for Payless’ email subscription, because when you do they give you a 20% coupon as their first email. They also tend to give out coupons quite often ;)))

StoreDogDog is a pretty cute store with that tumblr-aesthetic vibe going on. Their prices are reasonable, not cheap but not too expensive at the same time, though their prices are better than other places out there selling the same things. Shipping was super fast, and even though I didn’t actually hit the minimum for their fastest (DHL) shipping, they gave it to me anyways since I was just two dollars under, which I thought was pretty generous. It also came with a tracking number and they generally email you within a day if you have any questions (they’re quite active on their IG as well). The clothes were decently made (better than what you’d expect coming from a store based in China) and I’m really excited to start using all of them! If you do plan on buying them, I suggest that you pay attention to the measurements that they provide, and if you’re somewhere between two sizes (or you barely make it within one) go with the bigger size. Trust me. (The only exception probably being the summer high shorts)

 This has become one of my new favorite online places to shop, and I’m already planning on what to buy next time! (And ofc, I'll be writing another review for that purchase as well ^.^)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Disclaimer: I was not paid for this review nor was I given any perks. Anything I said within my reviews for everything and all of the clothes was my honest opinion. 

[afieldofsumire]

FREEBIES!!! (Crop top: $9.95 $7.95, medium || grid socks $4.95)

(For reference: I’m a little over 5′ tall, I vary from a small to a medium in tops as well as in bottoms [more so on the bottoms because I have no boobs but wide-ish hips]. I’m approximately 115 lbs, and I’m about 4/5 in bottoms and dresses.)

For orders over $40 you receive a free pair of grid socks, and for orders over $80 you are eligible to receive a skirt or top! The top fit just right with a little extra space to breathe, though considering I already ordered a black crop top, I will probably try to give this to a friend. The material is like any other shirt really, a light cotton with a bit of stiffness to it (though maybe it’ll become a bit softer after a few more washes).

The socks I wasn’t necessarily looking forward to, but I’ve grown to really like them! They’re just like any other socks really. Not cheaply made, which is good. I’m about a size 7.5/8 in US women’s, so I had to stretch these a bit to make them fit right but they fit fine. What I did notice though was that near the toes, the fabric had stretched so much that it became a bit transparent and I could see the nail polish on my toes through it. If you have to stretch it as much as I did, I suggest that you be careful with these because they may eventually rip over time/from rough use (eg. during sports practice).

SUMMER HIGH SHORTS ($22.95 $14.95, small)

(For reference: I’m a little over 5′ tall, I vary from a small to a medium in tops as well as in bottoms [more so on the bottoms because I have no boobs but wide-ish hips]. I’m approximately 115 lbs, and I’m about 4/5 in bottoms and dresses.)

I was in need of new high-waisted shorts and these seemed perfect. My last pair that I bought from F21 were pretty fitted, and were short enough to show some cheek so I felt kind of uncomfortable in them despite buying them (they also rode up A LOT, and when they did it sucked). But these, THESE I thought were absolutely perfect for me. They were loose fitting and they’re initially made to be quite long, which is fine since you get to adjust how long/short you want them to actually be. Folding them thick like how I did was the easiest way to fold them neatly, for me anyway (for some reason I found it harder to fold in the back? Like they’d look nice in the front but the back would look like a mess if I tried to make the folds any shorter). Super super happy, although it can make my crotch look a bit weird at times o-o

HEART CUTOUT TOP ($9.95 ea, medium)

(For reference: I’m a little over 5′ tall, I vary from a small to a medium in tops as well as in bottoms [more so on the bottoms because I have no boobs but wide-ish hips]. I’m approximately 115 lbs, and I’m about 4/5 in bottoms and dresses.)

I was surprised when I first got these because the material was thicker than I expected. It’s not cotton (its polyester according to the site), but it kinda feels like what spandex are made of. The white is actually more of a creme color but it’s still pretty versatile enough to match with a lot of things. I read somewhere that the neck was a bit tight so I ordered a size up, and it’s a good thing I did because these are pretty from-fitting as it is lol, so if you plan on buying these I suggest to ORDER A SIZE UP! It’s a bit of a task to get your head through the neck hole and take it out but it’s doable and they’re still pretty darn cute so it’s fine. I couldn’t resist buying both colors because I could imagine myself wearing both pretty often lmao. However, the white one has a tendency to show and outline your bra (I wore a black one underneath it to give you a rough idea) so if this is a problem I suggest just getting the black.

CUDDLE BUG JACKET ($19.95, one size)

(For reference: I’m a little over 5′ tall, I vary from a small to a medium in tops as well as in bottoms [more so on the bottoms because I have no boobs but wide-ish hips]. I’m approximately 115 lbs, and I’m about 4/5 in bottoms and dresses.)

I wasn’t initially planning on buying this, but the more I looked at it the more I wanted it lmao. I’m pretty glad I did though! I love the patches on it, and they all coordinate well together. I was actually expecting/hoping that this would be made out of a canvas material but it actually feels more like a windbreaker, which I don’t particularly mind. I provided pictures with it open, zipped up, and slightly tucked in. In the last pic, I just wanted to show how the sleeves are a bit baggy but again, don’t really mind. I also love how it’s styled like a bomber jacket. It kinda has like a vintage, old-school feel to it. There’s no thicker lining on the inside so don’t expect it to keep you super warm. I forgot to upload a picture, but when pulled all the way, the sleeves go about an inch past my knuckles. I already have an outfit planned for this and I’m freaking excited xD

PASTEL SPORTS JACKET ($39.95 $19.95, medium)

(For reference: I’m a little over 5′ tall, I vary from a small to a medium in tops as well as in bottoms [more so on the bottoms because I have no boobs but wide-ish hips]. I’m approximately 115 lbs, and I’m about 4/5 in bottoms and dresses.)

I first saw this jacket from someone on Instagram, except in pink. It looked super cute, so I decided to check out where she bought it from. When I saw they had it in this lavender color I knew I had to get it because it’s my fave color. But they were selling it for $50. Hell no. Thankfully StoreDogDog had it for a much cheaper price. 

The quality is like any other windbreaker (it’s basically of the same quality as one that I’d buy from a club for school). Again, there’s no thicker lining inside (which I expected) so don’t expect it to keep you super warm. As you can see, I took pictures of what it looked like unzipped, zipped, and tucked in a bit as I did with the cuddle bug jacket. It’s more fitted than the cuddle bug jacket and the sleeves are a bit shorter. It was a bit tighter on the bottom than I imagined but it’s fine since they put an elastic band. Overall, I love the colors and $20 is just the right price for this jacket.

BOYFRIEND JEANS ($24.95 $14.95, small)

(For reference: I’m a little over 5′ tall, I vary from a small to a medium in tops as well as in bottoms [more so on the bottoms because I have no boobs but wide-ish hips]. I’m approximately 115 lbs, and I’m about 4/5 in bottoms and dresses.)

If you look on their website, these jeans are supposed to be pretty baggy and loose fitting, and rather than a zipper and button, it has an elastic band at the waist. However, sigh I could not try these on because the waist was too small. Initially, I couldn’t get these up further than my mid-thigh, but if I really tried I could get them to slide up right below my crotch/butt. Their measurements for the hips won’t really help you because the waist does not stretch that much. If you were going to buy these pants I’d suggest getting a size or 2 up (if you were a size XS this might fit you well). But other than that the quality of the jeans are quite good. Better than the cheap $10 ones at F21. 

I will probably update this post once I get the return/exchange sorted out.

my fave greek history story to tell is that of agnodice. like she noticed that women were dying a lot during childbirth so she went to egypt to study medicine in alexandria and was really fucking good but b/c it was illegal for women to be doctors in athens she had to pretend to be a man. and then the other doctors noticed that she was 10x better than them and accused her of seducing and sleeping with the women patients. like they brought her to court for this. and she just looked at them and these charges and stripped in front of everyone like “yeah. im not fucking your wives” and then they got so mad that a woman was better at their jobs then them that they tried to execute her but all her patients came to court and were like “are you fucking serious? she is the reason you have living children and a wife.” so they were shamed into changing the law and that is how women were given the right to practice medicine in athens

[autieblesam-deactivated20190506]

Yeah, this isn’t some Greek myth story about a hero or demigod or something, Agnodice was a real person who actually did this.

Rush Rush Stress Stress

So another fun fact: (okay maybe not so fun but whatever) I’m going to be a senior this year.

The only summer homework I had was for Calculus BC, and so the teacher advised (or at least said that we could) do it a week before school started and even had a guideline made out for us. I am following the guideline, a little late (it’s 12:10 as I speak), but I’m following it nonetheless. I went through one of the packets and I’m already stressed, Lordt. Out of the 28 problems of ONE packet, I could only do four and only two of them were right. This is all review stuff from Calculus AB, which I’m supposed to be a tutor for. Whoops.

This has just made me feel highly anxious for the school year. Super super nervous. And scared. Last year I was kind of excited but I can feel my heart rate go up just thinking about the upcoming year. Applications and responsibilities and just a lot of things I’m not ready for. Next year I’ll be moving out on my own for college and it’s all so overwhelming. I hope that after this year everything will go by smoothly but idk about that. My head hurts thinking about everything, and I guess I am a little excited but god, am I so freaking scared.
