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.

Easter Nails!

Hi guys,

My blogs aren't really the same as they used to be, I don't have as much time to paint my nails and experiment with makeup anymore, and as I work with animals alot of the time, its often not worth it haha! So my blogs will be little snippets of my life now rather than just nail art. Hopefully you guys will still find what I write interesting :)

But I've broke up for easter now, for three weeks!! If only the weather was like it was last year :| Anyways, in between work, catching up on some z's, and selling anything i can get my hands on on ebay, I have managed to do a bit of nail art! :)

Here's what I did for easter :D

I used Models Own for the base colours and the white details, and Barry M white crackle on the thumb :)

The bunnies were sooo hard to do on my right hand! I managed it but they weren't quite as crisp as these haha!

Cute huh? Leave a comment and let me know what you think :)

I'm hoping to do a few more when I have some spare time :) so watch this space!

 

 

Also, like I mentioned the weather hasn't been great. Its sending me round the bend so who knows how all the wildlife feels. Today I saw a fox just sitting in next doors garden, enjoying the peace and quiet :)



As its spring now I'm wondering if maybe there are a couple of cubs in the over grown garden :D going to keep my eyes peeled from now on! I'll keep you all posted :)

 

Finally... I'll be listing a lot of stuff on ebay this weekend, books, purses, maybe some clothes and maybe some bracelets :D so feel free to have a browse :) I've got to do a work placement next year so I'm trying to raise some money towards it :) every little helps.

I look forward to hearing from you :)

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

First Sale! One Step Closer...

Hi guys,

I've sold my first bracelets :D just to family and friends but I'm so excited because it means I'm a little closer to Africa! My two sisters, my nan and my cousin have each brought a bracelet :)

Here are some examples of finished bracelets....

I am waiting for more beads to finish the dog theme and reptile theme bracelet :) because of Chinese new year, the deliveries have slowed down but some smaller bracelets arrived today so hopefully it will pick up again. The smaller ones are more suited for kiddies or people with tiny wrists haha!

The ones with less beads will be a little cheaper. My nan and cousin had double the beads on theirs so they offered to pay the extra which was nice :) All the money for these bracelets will go straight into my Africa fund. As soon as there is a free fees weekend on ebay these little beauties will go up and you guys will be the first to know :)

hope you like them :D

I've ordered allll the ones I need to get started :) and there are on the way as I type.
A few have a arrived already so I'm super excited to get them going. I've already had family and friends putting in there orders :)

The charms that have arrived so far are silver paws, elephants, tortoise, and fish, aswell as some red tiger print beads and some luminous ones that are very cool!

 

 

 

The luminous ones have to be put in sunlight for them to glow, but when they do, THEY ARE SO COOL! I'm so excited to get these going. I've got lots more stuff on the way, but a lot of it is coming from out of the country, so I'm hoping to have them all but about February half term! Once they are ready you guys will be one of the first to know :D

Merry Christmas To All!!

Hi guys!
Hope you all had a fab christmas :) I know I did :)

Thought I'd share some of my christmas nail art with you all.

The first one is a quick mani I did for my sister. She already had the pink polish on so I just painted over the top.
I painted white on the ring finger and limited edition barry m blue on the little finger and index finger and topped it with the barry m limited edition glitter (they were 3 for 2 in superdrug).
I added silver and pink glitter to the tips of the pink nails.
On the white nail I used different shades of blue pink and green to create little dots in the shape of a christmas tree :)
A quick cute christmas mani :)

The second I painted on my moms nails. I used a shimmery cream for the base coat. I used a red and green Models Own glitters for the tips.
On the ring finger I painted a christmas wreath. I used a dark green and then a slightly lighter shade on top to create the wreath. I then used a red shade to add the details and bow.
I used the same colours to create the two small wreaths on the thumb.

Hope you like them :)
And Merry Christmas!!
