Review: Milanno Wig

For Christmas, my fiancé and I bought each other wigs! We got on Milanoo.com December 23rd and sent in our order exactly at midnight. 
We finally got our wigs... 3 weeks later. Now, i understand it was Christmas when we ordered and there was a 2 day snow delay for FedEx in my state when the package was supposed to arrive. I get that. However, we ordered the express shipping and it took much longer to arrive than what we paid for. When our package finally got to us, i so excited i didn't even care about the late arrival. I was just happy to get my wig. We rushed to our bedroom and violently tour open our package. We were like little kids full of excitement to get our late Christmas gifts.

 Only... it was was package full of jackets and 2 shirts in the package, not the wigs. To make matters worse, It was for a guy in Mexico, so you know they didn't bother checking the package before slapping the shipping label on there.  ;___; I started crying and Blayne sat in angry silence with his arm around me. (i was pregnant at the time, if you're wondering about the crying. xD) I got online the next day and complained to Milanoo. They got back to me the day after and we worked out the problem. Apparently FedEx caused the shipping error.

We got the keep the jackets and the finally sent us our wigs. phew! I'll be doing a review on my wig today.

I ordered the Pink 80cm Volcaloid Lika Nylon Cosplay wig. Here the link to the website: Wig link

Picture on the model.

Picture on me.

As you can see, it wasn't exactly like on the website. I still love it, though. c:

More pictures! 

Price: ♥♥♥♥♥ 

We payed $24 plus $15 shipping and handling for it.

Packaging: ♥♡♡♡♡

It came in a a big FedEx page with 2 smalled Milanoo bags which contained with wigs. The reasons this got a heart is because they sent us two very cute Milanoo buttons. :3 I'm a sucker for adorable freebes!

Product Quality: ♥♥♥♡♡

After seeing the price and the fact is made of nylon, it should go without saying that is a generally low quality wig. The wig is very shiny in direct lighting and it tangled very easily. It feels kind of like oily plastic and the bags never want to go on the side they're supposed to. Which is why i where it with a hair accessory to keep it in place.

Shipping: ♡♡♡♡♡

If you read the story above, you know why this has no heart. ;___; After reading other reviews, i discovered this happens a lot with Milanoo customers. They suck with shipping. 

Customer Service: ♥♥♥♥♥ 

They were very kind when i explained there error and not only gave me a bunch of options for them to correct it, but they corrected the error quickly. I was actually surprised because i didn't expect it to go this smoothly. I'm very satisfied with their customer service.

Overall: ♥♥♥♡♡

I give Milanoo three out of four stars. Although there was a shipping error and the wig wasn't 100% like the picture, i'm still very satisfied with the product and i'll possibly shop there again.

Love,

Flea Market Dreaming

This post is more for to brainstorm my goals about my flea market idea and read them back just to kinda see where i'm at on this. I'd love opinions, thought!

My dream is to open a clothing boutique that sells kawaii and grunge fashion and accessories. Unfortunately, i wasn't born into a wealthy family and i've only had to jobs in my life making chump change. :'c So my funds are extremely limited and i have to put my dreams on hold. -sigh- It's quit heartbreaking but i know as long as i'm patient and persistent, this will happen for me.

 One thing i've been thinking about for years is opening a booth at a flea market. It'll be a way for me to sell my products and save up to one day buy my own building. c: I've thought about selling online but i enjoy seeing my customers in person. I've learned this from working at JCPenney, haha. I'm thinking of partnering up with my friend Samantha to run the booth with me. This will not only help me learn more about partnerships but also help me learn more about the teamwork of business. Plus, creating this business partnership may be helpful for both of us in the future.

Of course, i need to stop day dreaming about the ideas and actually scout for a flea market and talk to the owners about a booth. I also have to see about the permits needed to sell. Since it's spring going into Summer here in America, there'll be bigger traffic in the markets. Since i'm almost 100% positive no one else sells my ideal products but i know there's a market for them, i feel like this would be a pretty good investment. Since it's a low cost start up, there isn't an dangerously huge risk as buying a building would be. It'll help me see what owning a small business is like.

Aside from daydreaming about what our booth will look like, i've been studying Entrepreneur and Business websites all day. I feel it's necessary to educate myself on these topics to help me understand about being a business owner. If i get as much information as i can, I can drastically limit the amount of surprises in the future and better address the situations when surprises come up. It'll give me better expectations and help me better plan the foundation for my store. I don't mind reading a lot, though. I love to learn! I actually never had an interest in economics or finance until I discovered my dream. Now, i'm incredibly interested in them because they're very important in starting and running a business.

Enough grown-up talk. Let's get to the fun stuff! I know it sounds like kawaii/grunge isn't exactly the greatest combination, but i believe this could work. I already know there's a kawaii scene and a grunge scene in my city, so i have my target audience. Yes, these are just trends and will probably fade away over the next few years. That's okay with me. I can adjust the products as newer ones become "trendy." As long as i have alternative people searching for clothes, i'll be able to sell! Plus, if this truly works out, i'll have chances to expand geographically.

Kawaii grunge. hmm. How to that work? Well, one side of the store/boot will decorated really cute and will sell the cute clothes, shoes, maybe food. The other side will be dark and will sell the grunge stuff, including posters and other music related items. That way, it's a lot easier for the customers who are looking for the specific style can find what they're looking for. I think it's going to be lovely. The kawaii side will feature a lot of fairy kei and pastel goth inspired fashions. The grunge will feature the typical grunge products as well as soft grunge products. I'm getting exited just picturing it!

My head is swimming from the idea flow here, so i'm going to go to bed now. Thank you for reading and if you give me feedback. It helps to hear how people respond to my ideas.

Love,

Kittie
