I´m alive and shopping ^^
Long time no post... I was busy with college and rl, but now I have a new "shopping&review" for you =)
Everything is from Taobao, almost as usual^^
But not so much lolita, more casual things, but maybe you´ll like some of them.
First shop:
http://xiaoquan.taobao.com/
I bought this cute headdress and a gift for a friend (which I can´t show yet, ne?^^).
Both items are great quality, the fabric of the alice band is soft and covers the whole hoop.
The lace is also very nice, can only recommand this shop.
Second shop:
http://gzsg.taobao.com/
Honestly I don´t remember WHY I bought this necklace, but I´m really glad I did^^
It´s so pretty and detailed, it´s amazing. On the small signs is written "Where should I go?" and "There".
Just adorable, and great quality. The rhinestones are glued in very secure and the material is light but not cheap.
Both watches are super pretty and I can´t find any flaws. They came with batteries which surprised me, but they work just fine.
The big one is a bit heavy, but not so much you couldn´t wear them, the small one is REALLY small, but still useable.
Third shop:
Gana
Both items were cheap and I expected some light plastic jewelry with metal look.
So I was pleasantly surprised to see both are rather good quality.
The necklace is light, but it is made of metal, and the bracelet is also metal, mixed with sturdy plastic.
My friend ordered a pocket watch last time and it was also great quality, so I can recommand at least the jewelry to you.
Maybe I´ll try their clothing next time.
Fourth shop:
http://sc861013.taobao.com/
The first two tights are rather cheap, have light discolorations on the inside seam.
And more important, the color of the striped one is not like on the stock pics, so I will sell them.
The lightblue is is pretty good quality, the star mesh tights are made of a nice material and stretch a lot.
The "tattoo" tights are very good quality, the print looks nice. But it´s not suited for people with very light skin like me -.-
The purple ones are awesome, very thick material, but not that stretchy.
All in all you have to have a little bit of luck when you order here, but for most items I can say: the higher the price, the better the quality. And even the "expensive" tights there are still cheap. ;)
Fifth shop:
http://yizixiufs.taobao.com/
Almost my favorite item from this order. Wonderful soft fabric, no bad smell, the stones are safely glued - I´m very positive this will have a long and pretty life ^^
Yeah, I ordered this skirt twice ^^
Light grey and dark blue (the color is a bit darker than on this pic). The fabric is nice, the workmanship is not so good and there are a lot of loose threads and some bad stitched parts, but it is what you can expect from a low price (this was about 4,50€).
Originally there are 3 ropes, but the 3rd one was orange and I don´t like orange...
If you are thinner than me, you could also wear it as a dress, but then it is pretty short.
A dress or skirt, whatever you want. This was available in a lot of colors and designs. I chose this to match some shoes I have, and I liked the mixture of fabrics. The blue one is similar the the one from the other skirts, the flower printed one is a bit thinner and feels like synthetic. The lace is cheap plastic lace, but soft and not shiny.
It has a underskirt, made of synthetic white fabric.
The shirring is amazing, I can wear it as a dress (bust 96cm) as well as a skirt (hips 110cm).
To sum it up, this shop has a big variety of clothes to choose from, and it can be hit or miss. Most pics look better than what you get, but you can still get cool items. Some items have not so great fabrics, but most are fine. But with the cheap prices, it´s worth to take the risk.

Stock pic
I don´t have good picture of it yet.
The hair feels nice, not too shiny and the color is wonderful, very realisitc.
It will be styled later, but I think you could wear it like it is.
My brother ordered a wig too, but his is rather thin and short, not as good as this one.
