BM, Aliexpress, & Ebay Mini-Hauls

My Black Milk addiction continues!


I finally caught a couple restocks! I got the Wet Look Long Sleeve Crop, the Evil Cheerleader Lace Dress 2.0 that I'd been considering for ages (decided it's worth the price as I can wear it over anything!), and decided on the Tartan Red Toasties over the regular leggings (for now). I'm actually really impressed with the toasties and will definitely be buying more when ammo happens!


I ordered these two skirts on aliexpress from the seller zhou jack on July 12th as they were only £5.87 each. I kinda wanted the lavender one too, but figured I'd try these first as I can wear them with more. They're REALLY short (even my butt shows a little), but fit pretty comfortably and the straps are surprisingly soft!


From Ebay, I finally found an adorable sheer dress from Motel for £19. However, despite supposedly being a size 10, it's MILES too small. I could barely get it on without wearing a bra =/ and I'm a small 10. I can't even send it back as it made susupicious ripping noises when I tried to escape from it! It really sucks as it looks adorable. If only it were like 2 sizes bigger, grr.


But! I finally got my hands on some JC Litas! They're quite grubby and missing a few spikes, but I'm just happy to finally own some. These were only £35 too! They're a teeny bit big though. I don't even know what size they are as they're marked 7M, but they seem to be around a UK4.5.

So obviously I am continuing to fail at not shopping, but I am actually going to take back some things I bought recently. Hopefully I'll get some time to sort my things out at home soon too, but I doubt I'll get to as I seem to be either busy or exhauasted all the time!

Aliexpress Harness & Garter Review

I've been wanting a fashion harness for ages but they are generally really expensive. So when I found out that Aliexpress sell many of them, I had to give them a go!

I ordered on July 5th, and they received today on the 22nd, so it didn't take too long, really! Shipping was free, and there were no customs charges.

I obviously didn't read the listings properly as 2 of the harnesses I ordered were apparently little wholesale lots! So I have a bunch of them to sell now, oops! It's also worth noting that these are replicas, and I have a feeling some sellers use images of the original rather than of their own product. The seller I used was dong lou.


This first one was £11.56 for 2.


As you can see, several of the straps need adjusting on me as they're too long. Otherwise, I think this is pretty accurate to the photo.


This second one was £5.48 for 1.


This is how I was expecting it to fit, and what I will try to alter it to be.


This is how it actually fits. A tad too big and long! Obviously the tags need to be removed, it was just easier to try on by leaving them in.


This third one was £4.65 for 3.


This one fits a little long too. It's odd, they all have adjustable back straps, but it's the length that's the issue for me!


I also thought I'd pick up some pentagram garters as I've always thought they looked cool. These were £7.45 for a pair.


As you can see, they're too long and the straps are much too thick. Also while one is stitched fine, the other is totally different and has lots of exposed edges, which kind of sucks.


They're also super duper unflattering and make me look like a ham or something. I know I have fat on my thighs, but they're as toned as they could be!! orz


Lastly, I also picked up some simpler garters for £2.67.


These are a softer, shinier material (all the others are kind of scratchy), and look thinner than the sale photo. They stay up better than I'd expected, but it's impossible to make them look straight! The clips seem pretty decent though.

While I will have to alter pretty much everything, I'm kind of glad I ordered as I was able to get all this stuff for around the price of one harness from somewhere else. I can also hopefully make back some money by selling the spares! I don't think I'd buy again though. I'll just save up for one decent harness if I get much use out of these ones.

Recent Buys!

I got some cute pink things recently that I'm hoping to use in an outfit for the Kyary Pamyu Pamyu live in April, so I thought I'd share!


First up, cute Coltrane-style shoes from River Island! I'd been eyeing up the black ones for a long time, but when I saw these I just had to get them! They were in the sale, but still £38.95 including postage which is pretty steep to me. They've now been reduced further, so snap them up HERE! Although they run reaaaaally big - I'm usually a big UK4, but these are a UK3 and still a bit big!


Angelic Pretty Macaron Tartan salopette I snapped up on ebay. The seller is actually a friend of mine. It's big and shapeless, but super adorable. The back is cuter than the front as it has tartan bows!


The tartan itself has shimmery threads in it, which I adore.

I also got some other things recently, so here they are!


Black Milk velvet skirt! I love these skater skirts, and I saw this one on ebay for a little less than it would have cost direct from the brand. I imagine I'll be wearing it a lot once the weather improves.

I also made another Aliexpress leggings order! The total was only around £30, and these will be great for Spring/Summer.


Bro Ball!


Princess Bubblegum.


More LSP! I want to get the swimsuit too.


Tree Trunks! I feel like Tree Trunks at work whenever I have to cook an apple pie.


Tartan goes with so much in my wardrobe.


And skeletons I just couldn't resist.

I also picked up a cute donut shirt from H&M, but I'll wait until I post an outfit to show that!

Thus concludes my shopping update!

Aliexpress Mini-Haul

Before the Adventure Time collection came out, I figured I'd get a feel for Black Milk style clothes by buying cheap-ass replicas. Now, I'm not a replica fan. But I'm also not a fan of leggings or tight dresses, so I just wanted to try these before paying a ton for the real deals!


I got a couple Cathedral pieces in 'size M'.

I placed my order on the 6th, and the items arrived a couple days ago. The cost was only about £15 or something crazy.


The material feels quite nice and the print is lovely!


...but it's pretty damn big and baggy and ugh (I was expecting it to be asian one size, but apparently not). Also the hips are not really in the right place at all, causing that gross muffin-top-looking thing (I can assure you that it's just air!). I'm currently bidding on the real deal on ebay (it's a museum piece and not available on the site), but if I don't win it I'll have to get this one taken in quite a bit! Although I'm wondering if there's enough material to modify it into more of a skater style.


The leggings are a lot shinier and the colours are brighter, but the print is just as lovely.


I guess they fit alright. They're a tad long and baggy at the knees and ankles, but definitely wearable. The problem? I have nothing to wear with them at all! They're so bold, and I don't feel I can wear them without something covering my butt...but maybe...

I'm pretty pleased with my purchases, as they were so cheap and it means I get to trial some pieces with my wardrobe before I make a decision about real pieces. I'm thinking I will probably buy real from now on though, and just not buy leggings!
