CLICK THE ABOVE TO GO TO YOZAWAY!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
That is legitimately my reaction once I got my package. LOL It was rainy and stuff though so my mailman like shoved it in my door and like ran off to the next house T-T poor man. I'm getting off topic, okay Vicks you need to stop doing this.
ANYWAYS, MAIN POINT. I GOT MY BOWS!!!!!
Warning: Please excuse my naked, sheet-less bed. LOL I DROPPED A BBQ WING ON IT AND ITS WASHING RIGHT NOW.

The package is the usual bleh package it comes in, Priority mail of course. I squealed more when I (finally) got it open though! She even did my request to draw a cute animal

It's such a cute bunny hehe. Little things like this make me happy. The grand total was $14.20 (w/ tax & shipping) as for my proof is below.

The bows were nicely wrapped up and sticker'd down ♥-♥~ and I even saved the sticker and put it in my moleskine! It is WELL protected by the tissue paper, taped down both ends and all that good stuff. What I totally didn't expect (and was completely trolled) was the fact that there was more tissue paper UNDER the first one -.-

The bows itself are super duper nice and cutely packed together. Risa stays in touch with you about how things go or if theres any issues with them. Like for example my fuku bow had a fabric issue but she couldn't afford to wait any longer and told me she would send me another one once the correct fabric came in ^^ she even added lace, which is literally my favorite omg.

First one will be the Fuku bow! What is a fuku bow? It is something similar to the sailor bows, ex. the bows on the Sailor Moon uniforms :D But you can also put it in your hair, which I clip in the back. LOL I don't have a schoolgirl uniform hehe, so yes. It's a very cute and girly-esque bow. Hence the lace. It's really knit and doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart at all!

Then comes the cute sushi bow ~ It has cute puns on here. Like "You're really rice!" and "Let's roll!" You can't help but saw awwwwhhhh when you read these! There's a photo of me and how I wear this bow, excuse my vampire looking complexion. White balance must have been REALLY off with the lamp. I don't know. T___T But yes it has an alligator clip to it and it's absolutely kayyoooootttt. Risa made these so nicely!

The last one is the famed puff bow! I'm the first to own the puff bow according to Risa hehe. It's stuffed with some cotton or stuffing of sorts. It adds VOLUME with the actual volume. It's adorbs and I really don't deserve these even if I paid for these. LOL I AM NOT WORTHY OF THESE BEAUTIFUL THINGS. It's so cute I can't wait until I have some money to order some again!!! They all have the alligator clip as you can see and they all seem very compact and have very good quality. ^^ (once again excuse my vampire complexion in this awkwardly white balanced photo idk. T_T)

What would I give this shop overall? (★★★★★) Five stars. All the way.

Until next time guys! ^^;

Jolie Petite Review!

Sunday, June 24, 2012 • 11:57 PM • 0 comments

So this is a review for Jolie Petite (Danielle) and her custom decoden cases! I got one for my iPhone and I certainly don't regret it. I ordered it at the end of April and received it this Thursday. It certainly took a while to arrive but it takes time and care to create these so it's hard to make good cases AND keep a life. Plus she's shipping from the UK so international mail takes it's time. It's so adorable though, omg it was totally worth the wait.

Style: (★★★★★) Maybe it's because I've never really had much experience with decoden cases but I will definitely give this one a full rank, because it look like Danielle put out the time and effort to put things together strategically instead of just making it look like it was randomly glued on. The cabochons are absolutely adorable, I mean the bows and the roses and chocolate bars are absolutely perfect. I also love the ice cream because it just makes the phone case pop out even more.

Service: (★★★★☆) I think the only downside of all of it was the time it took to arrive, but it IS international mail and you must understand it is something we cannot control. Otherwise the service was fantastic. Danielle is a great person to talk to and she responds to any inconveniences you have about it and takes care of it in a very professional matter. Her custom cases are preordered so it takes time for each individual one. If I were to buy another case it would be from her indeed. She also included a freebie deco tape and a sheet on how to care for your case and a thank-you for buying note - which really is thoughtful compared to general retail. It makes you smile when you receive it.

Price: (★★★★★) Okay It's a little high for my preferences since I'm a big penny pincher about some things I like but this one I just whipped out my debit card and bought it as soon as I saw it. Mainly because she had a special going for $20 and compared to very many other decoden cases, this is very cheap. Not including shipping which was around 5-6 dollars, but hey it's international mail - what do you expect. Some decoden cases can go up to $80 dollars. My face when I see those:( ಠ_ಠ ) and then it transforms into (┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻ - so yes. This is all worthwhile. You get your money's worth.

Durability: (★★★★★) It is very durable indeed. Some others may chip off and fall apart if you don't take care of it well enough and thats tough luck. Yet this case is so awesome - I can actually put this in my pocket! You can probably assume it's harder than anything to try and put one of these cases in your pocket. One because you're scared out of your wits it might crumble apart and your money will go to waste but another that it's usually way too large and heavy to put in your pocket; but with delicate care you can actually put this in your pocket. I carried this to work and put it in my pocket and it came out just fine (just a bit of pocket lint sticking on the whipped cream but hey thats life.)

Danielle has recently converted to blogspot and so you can find her here and you can find her etsy here!
If you have the patience to wait for a quality case, then I would definitely recommend her. ( ☻ᴥ☻) ♥
