Zipia !

Hello All!

So I've been meaning to do this post for a while.
My friends and I would sometimes place orders on this site: Zipia

You need a minimum order of $300 USD before you can place the order, so we always try to accumulate a bunch of people so we can buy together! (Although.. I'm pretty sure I can reach $300 easily.. but then my wallet would suffer an untimely death LOL)

I recently placed an order with my friends and here are some things I've ordered
Band Pleats Half Skirt (Favourite!!)


Cute Skirt for $21 USD, not bad, there's an underskirt so that's nice. Although I would still recommend wearing bicycle shorts underneath as its a very flowy skirt, and my sister tells me its still see through in the light. Yes, my sister stares at my butt alot LOL.

Unbalance Shirring One Piece

Cute, $6 USD. A bit see-through, even in normal light, so def wear bicycle shorts under/ black underskirt. I would wear this with a brightly coloured crop top = Cute!

big Pocket T:


$8 USD, it was originally Aggie's (roommate) but she offered to sell it to me, I couldn't turn down a white t-shirt! I love white tees :D

My take on Zipia:
I really think sometimes the stuff from Zipia is a hit/miss. You pay for what you get is what my thoughts are. Everything on the site is insanely cute! And even though it claims it as a "wholesale" site, the prices are sometimes.. not very wholesale. In my opinion, if you can get the same thing in-stores at a similar price, buy it in stores - you can try it on, and go without the S+H fees. I only buy things that I think would be cheaper than getting them here in Canada, or if I REALLY REALLY like it. (:

Also, paying for the clothes is a bit sketchy. You pay the person through paypal, through an email they provide you; I believe it's ebuiz@hotmail.com. I mean.. who uses hotmail as a professional account right?? Well anyways, if anyone has questions as to how to pay for Zipia, give me a shout and I'll reply asap!

TOPSHOP

So yesterday, I went to the Topshop pop-up preview at Queen St. W and Soho St.
Was pretty tired today, so didn't take much pictures, but here's what I managed + bought/got (:

We got there around 11:45(?), and the line was already pretty long. They let people enter in batches (VIP got to go in first ofcourse), and we were finally able to get in at around maybe 12:30.

The clothing were all very summer-like, with light tops, bright colours, and bold prints. A few accessories (really cute fedora hats!), and cute belts! Some of the pieces are EXCLUSIVE (ie. lace cape, cream lace flippy dress etc. more can be found on their FB group, which will be linked at the bottom) The set-up was super cute, with beach chairs, frozen yoghurt, and 2 DJ's spinning up some nice tracks (:


They gave out 2 different bags, I got this one:


But they also gave out another one that my friend noticed on some other guy while we were walking around Eatons (super jelly, cause i think the one he had was so much better than mine!)

Anyways, this is what I ended up getting (I liked it.. but I almost had to "force" myself to buy it since I waited in line for so long):

This also comes in an off-white colour. I got mine in a size 4, so it's a bit bigger? This was $30 + tax. This is the fit on me (please excuse lighting !) :

I didn't try it on before I bought it, cause I don't like trying on clothes and lineup was so long 0_0, luckily it fit pretty well. I'm usually around a size 2, but I like to wear looser fit clothes, so size 4 is good for me too. As you can see from the picture, the top fits alright on me, although the part near my armpit area is sorta flared out? So it doesn't fit properly there.

I would say, this was an interesting visit! The set-up was cute, the free froyo was yummy! And it was fun (: Although, the clothes didn't stand out to me as I thought it would. Overall, the visit was not disappointing, but if you can't make it to this preview, don't fret! Topshop will also be previewing at Muskoka from July 30th -Aug 1st.
