Welcome to the New Haute Heels : Do Over?

Firstly, I'll reintroduce myself. My name is Felicia. I am now 18 years old and I still live in Florida where I go to college. If you all have been following my blog, you will realize that I have been an on and off blogger for the past year and half. And for the third and final time I am rededicating myself to this blog as well as recreating it. Some new posts you will get to see includes ; online shopping reviews, updates on my online boutique (Trend Shop), some OOTD's, and anything else relating to fashion or heels. I promise to post about 3 times a week and if I am slacking, let me know! Email me (trendshopbusiness@gmail.com) and I am also now on Instagram(@TrendShop_) and Twitter.

New Blog Name



I changed the blog's name to reflect my new interests and to let readers know that this blog is not only about heels but mostly about my interest in fashion and the "trendy treasures" I find shopping online. "Trendy Treasure Trove" is the perfect description of my overflowing closet, a metaphor for the unorganized fabulousness I call a wardrobe. Keep and eye out for more posts!!

P.S.-This pink trunk is the new favicon and I own this exact one. It's so helpful and cute, I wanna buy 4 more!

Review : Karmaloop.com

Website : Karmaloop
Shipping : Pretty Fast
Prices : Reasonable(I'll elaborate below)
                                                                    What I Bought:                                                                                   




           What I Got: 

                                                        
   
Can be found here in black and gold
What I Paid : $81.71

I think Karmaloop is great site not only to order sneakers but clothes as well. I basically have a never-ending wishlist on their site and these Be&D sneakers were number one on that list. I labeled Karmaloop's prices as reasonable because some of you might believe that $80+ is too much to pay for shoes. I for one do not. I think its fine to pay more money for sneakers then I do for the rest of my shoes because I wear them more often then others and they last longer. Plus, these shoes usually retail for about $128 and were on sale for $73.95 and since I'm a Rep for Karmaloop, I am allowed to use my own Rep code (FMB) to get 20% off. As for the shipping, I was very worried that Hurricane Sandy was going to delay my package ( I even tweeted and emailed them but got no response) but when I read the packing slip, I realized the package came from Kentucky. I'm not sure if that area was affected but my shoes arrived safe and sound. I ordered them on Sunday, got an email saying they had been shipped on Tuesday and received them on Thursday so the shipping is, as I described, pretty fast compared to my previous online shopping experiences.

Overall :
I gave Karmaloop five stars because of their fast shipping, good prices, and great products

So I now have a basic grasp of how I want my reviews to be set up. As I look back on my first post, which can be found here, the only feature I'm going to add is "What I Got"(a picture of the item(s) when I receive it), which will be below the "What I Bought"(the picture of the item(s) from the website). I'm going to start doing this because as many of you online shoppers know, what you buy is NOT always what you get.

Review : Yandy.com

For the first time, I will be reviewing a store I shopped with online, I'm still trying to generate a general format so please let me know what you like and don't like.

Link : Yandy
Shipping : Super Fast!!!
Prices : Affordable
What I Bought :
Can be found here in 6 other colors

What I Paid : $19.95

Maybe I should start with how I found Yandy. After watching Burlesque(fabulous movie) with a friend, we thought maybe we should be Burlesque dancers for Halloween so we Googled "burlesque lingerie" and this was the first site that came up. When browsing, of course the silk robe caught my eye because it was sexy and I had been looking for one for a while. Since, I was new to dorm living at the time, I realized I needed something to quickly cover up when we had emergency evacuations or fire drills (or when people came banging on the door demanding food, laundry detergent,etc.) so I placed my order. When I say the shipping was super fast, I mean crazy fast! I ordered my item Monday afternoon and it came Wednesday morning. It also came with a free thong that actually looked more like a jock strap. No loss to me since I'm not a thong girl at all. I was also impressed with Yandy's pricing because when my item got here, I was surprised to find out it came with a little nightie to go under the robe which is a great deal. I would expect to pay something like $30+ for a night gown and robe but it was only $19.95. While browsing their other items, I noticed they have great pricing on Halloween costumes and more.

Overall : 
I gave Yandy five stars because of the fast shipping, great pricing, and great quality. I've had this robe since August and through all the times I've worn and washed it, there has been no tears, rips, or change in color. Perfect!
