Missguided mayhem!

Hi guys,

I have had the worst online shopping experience with missguided.co.uk, so I am writing this blog to warn you all and vent my frustration.
It was my first order from missguided, I'd always seen positive posts on twitter and heard they had a good range of dresses so for my birthday my boyfriend treated my to two really nice dresses. I ordered them either the Tuesday 15th of January with next day delivery (which was a right price). As I ordered them in the evening I thought the dresses might not arrive until the Thursday, which was fine as I'd planned to wear them on the Saturday. But no, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, still no dresses. So I had to spend the whole of Saturday racing round town trying to find something to wear, as I'd left all my nice clothes at uni.

This was disappointing enough but when my dresses were finally delivered, Monday morning, no one was in so a notice was posted through the door claiming the delivery was in a 'safe place'.  A safe place yes, with a neighbour maybe? No no, on my OPEN driveway, which is opposite a park where kids play, underneath my dads motor bike! Needless to say the delivery was not there when I went to retrieve it. My area isn't the nicest, if its not nailed down it will get up an wonder away.

I was sooo annoyed. We spent the first couple of days ringing the number on the package, spending hours n hours trying to get through.

We emailed missguided explaining what had happened and asked for a refund as I no longer needed to dresses after having to go out and replace them. They replied a few days later saying they would have to investigate the matter, over THREE WEEKS! Oh and that they dont have a number to call :/ Ohhhh so annoying.

Well a few weeks later they replied saying that they believed the delivery was left in a safe place and they would only issue me with a credit note -.- If it was up to me I wouldn't order another thing from that damned site.

I only had until April to use the money so I finally ordered a pair of jeans. When they arrived I found that the zipper was broken -.- so I emailed them about a return. It took a few days to get a reply but they sent me a Freepost label so I went out the same day to return the item. I posted them on the 26th of march. I was told that I would be emailed as soon as they received my package.

7 days later still no email. So I checked the tracking status, delivered. So I emailed them again asking what was going on and they said they MAY have had my package but it could take up to 15 days to process it. Erghh!

It's so frustrating. It's not just all this but every email goes to a different person, so it's like they couldn't careless. Its been a massive faff from start to finish.

They spend all day long retweeting 'happy' customers with their pretty dresses and what not, but when I tweet them with my concerns, several times, I was ignored.

If I do ever receive my jeans this will be the one and only item from missguided as they are appalling.

So just a little warning to you all, if you have had any issues like this I'd like to hear them.

And They're Up!! eBay a Go-Go!!

Hi guys!

Finally got a couple of bracelets up on eBay! I've just put the two on for a trail run (+ I'm running low on bracelets as all the family have been buying them :D )

http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/11amyjane93

This listing is for 10 days, so hopefully after that the rest of my beads and bracelets will have arrived  and I can really get the ball rolling!

Feel free to have a browse :)
All the money for these bracelets is going towards me volunteering at Moholoholo wildlife rehabilitation centre in Africa, where I will be helping to look after orphaned or injured animals. So its all for a good cause!

Please feel free to mention my ebay page on your own blogs as it would really help me out if you spread the word. (I'll do a thank you blog for all of those who do).

Any comments or advice is always appreciated :D
Thanks

Accessorize style, Primarni prices!

Hi guys,
Just thought I'd let you in on a few little sneaky bargains I picked up recently. As much as I don't like the hustle and bustle of Primark, and I did once have a pair of tights with one leg longer than the other, but you can't fault them for their jewelery. 

 Animals are massive trend at the moment, especially the woodland critters :) I love it! So I picked up a few pieces that I really like :) All for under a tenner! They are similar to a few pieces that I've seen in some bigger high street stores and online, but were a fraction of the price.

This ring was only £2!

A bargain compared to Accessorize's £7 version.

The panther ring was a nice £2.50

Whereas the Asos ring was £15!

These cute owl earring were £1!!

Cath Kidston's owl earrings are £16! £15 pound saved!

(which will undoubtedly be spent on more accessories)

Finally, my very cute (but very noise) bird cage pendant necklace was £2.50.

Claires' bird cage necklace is £6.50.

So over all I spent £9 pound with a saving off...£35.50!! So it just shows you don't have to break the bank :)

What'cha think?

Animal Craazzy SpiritHoods

Hi guys,
I've recently come across these cute 'snood-like' things called SpiritHoods. I personally think they are really cute but I'm a little unsure whether they are just a tiny bit eccentric.
They come in a range of different designs, Wolf, Bear, Panda, Leopard, even an Owl.

They are quirky little things that come with their own 'personality'. For example the Wolf is Loyal, Social, Teacher. I also like the fact that when you buy SpiritHoods with the ProBlue logo, a percentage of it goes to non-profit organisations trying to help animals such as wolves, polar bears and snow leopards.

SpiritHoods seem to be growing in popularity with many celebs...

They seem to be making it pretty well in America but we Brits are a little bit more subtle and I think if i walked down the road with a wolf on my head, I might just get a few odd looks. On the other hand I really do like them :) I might just embrace the quirkyness!

I have a feeling these might start becoming more and more popular in the UK as they have recently made it onto http://www.asos.com/ and Riverisland have come up with their own take on the animal hoods...

There is one little problem...getting one.I know I have mentioned that Asos sell SpiritHoods, but they only stock four different ones, compared to the dozen on the SpiritHood website. And I'm a try-before-I-buy kinda girl, so I don't really feel all that comfortable forking out one hundered smackers for a hat I might not wear :\

I do really love them but I just can't make up my mind :\

So what'cha think? Any comments are appreciated :)
