Today I'm going to be reviewing a decoden shop called Stay Cute! ♥ (Also known as Sweet Petites) Stay cute is a decoden shop on Etsy that sells custom decoden cases and accessories. 

My phone case came in a bubble wrapped envelope from the UK to the US in about 2 weeks. The shipping was pretty fast and nothing was damaged during shipping which, I am very happy about! :) 

When I opened the envelope this is what was inside! My phone case was wrapped in very cute clear packaging. I really love when shop owners go the extra mile and make the packaging really cute!

Here's my case! It's SOOO cute and I am really happy with it! The owner of Stay Cute asked me what kind of phone model I have, and what kind of theme I wanted for my phone case. (as well as anything specific that I wanted) Staci can make a phone case for any phone model as long as their is a hard case available for it. I asked for a sweets + cute mix with Korilakkuma on it and a "sweet" cabochon. I also asked for some bows and cute drippy stuff on the side and I left the rest up to her creative abilities. As you can see, she made me EXACTLY what I wanted! She didn't leave anything out and put everything on my case that I asked for. ♥ 

Korilakkuma, bowsm strawberry (so cute) chocolate, pocky stickers, sparkly rhinestones. ♥

Teddy bear, cute glittery cabochon, sweet cabochon, hello kitty, and more sparkles! ~*

Cute pink drippy stuff yay!

The details on my case are amazing. You can tell Staci really puts a lot of time, effort, and love into her work. The case is really good quality and none of the cabochons came off or anything. I also really love how the whipped cream on my case is so squishy! It's a little sticky but I just got a little wet wipe and wiped it down (gently) and it wasn't sticky, anymore. :3

A couple rhinestones fell off but that's only natural because they're so tiny. Luckily, she sent me a bunch of extra rhinestones just in case I lose any.

So, if I do lose any little rhinestones I can just super glue them back on. I really love that she sent me extras just in case. ♥

She also sent me a letter with a few instructions on how to care for my case. ^_^

Staci sent me these cute little pins too. I think it's very sweet of her to put little goodies in with my case. :3

The case fits perfectly on my phone. It just snapped right on, no problem! I am really really happy with my case from Stay Cute. The quality is amazing, the details are just... so perfect and lovely. I really would recommend Stay Cute to anyone who is looking for a good quality phone case for a good price. 

Staci sent me a few of her business cards, too! It's a good thing she sent me a few because I remember with my last phone case I got soo many questions asking where I got it from so now I can just give them a business card. ^ o ^

Dresses ♥

It's almost summer which means, dresses! I really love dresses and I think they're very cute. (even though I don't wear them often) Here are my favorite dresses from Sheinside. 

Here are some of my personal favorites. The first item that caught my eye was this super cute Pink Long Sleeve Chiffon Dress. The fabric looks really light and flowy and the details on the front of the dress are just gorgeous. I also really love the light pink color. The next dress that caught my eye was this really cute Black Sleeveless Collared Dress. I just really love the look of this dress especially, the sheer bottom and the pink collar. It's a very pretty dress and it's perfect for Spring! The White Sleeveless Bandeau Floral Tank Dress has been a Sheinside favorite of mine for a while. It has a 50's feel to it and it's just a very gorgeous dress. I legit drool over this dress every time I see it. When I first saw it I was a bit disappointed that it didn't come in my size but, it does now! I just wish I was the kind of person who wore pretty dresses like this, ugh. Seriously, I love this dress so much you have no idea. The next dress that I found to be really cute is the Pink Sleeveless Deer Print Chiffon Dress. I love the print and style of this dress. It also has a very casual feel to it so you can pretty much wear it for any occasion! The Blue Embroidery Denim Dress caught my eye a couple times, actually. I really like how the middle of the is kind of transparent, in a way. I think this dress would look amazing paired with a pair of white platform shoes. (too bad I don't have any...) It's a very pretty, casual dress and it's perfect for Summer and Spring time. The Black Half Sleeve Heart Print Dress has been a favorite of mine for a while, as well. I just personally, really love this dress. I love the print and the color just, everything. I'm sad that it's sold out, though! Hopefully it will be re-stocked soon. 

So, that's it for my favorite dresses. You can view Sheinside's other dresses HERE. 

Tops ♥

My favorite tops on Sheinside! I tried to pick tops that were good for this season. (no thick sweaters or anything yay) Lots of thin Pullovers and cute tops. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

The first top I picked was this Mint Green Pullover. I know I said no sweaters but, it's mint! Mint is my favorite color and this pullover is perfect for those windy days. It also has a very laid back feel to it and I just really love the color, as well. The next top that caught my eye was this super cool White Lip Print Rivet T-Shirt.  I really like the print on this t-shirt and I really like the little rivets (studs or spikes) on this top as well. Very cool! The Asymmteric Hem Cat Top also caught my eye a few times. I'm not sure how I feel about the hem but, maybe you could tie the two ends together and pair is with some cute light blue high waist shorts? That'd be cute! I think the print is cute, too. The next top that caught my eye was this Pink Striped Loose Sweater because it just looks very light. Perfect for late night Summer days on the beach! I love the little pocket in the front, too. The last two items, I realyl want for myself, haha. I'm unsure if I should tell you guys about them hmmmm okay! The Light Blue Distressed Deer Jumper is so cute! I just love it. It looks really cute on the models on Sheinside and that's why I want it so badly, ahh!!! The next top is like a Sailor Top w/ Suspenders. (that's not really what it's called but shhh) Haha I really love this top because it's so casual and cute. I also love the suspenders attacked to the top so it gives the illusion that you're wearing suspenders hehe. 

So, those are my favorite tops. I hope you liked them! But if not, that's okay. You can view more of Sheinside's tops HERE. 

Bottoms ♥

Here are my favorite bottoms from Sheinside. They have all kinds of bottoms from printed leggings to, skirts and shorts and just all kinds of things! They're all very cute but I just picked a few that I really liked.

I picked the Denim Heart Print High Waist Shorts because of the hearts! They're really cute and how often do you see printed denim shorts? Never! Plus, they're high wasted and super adorable. ♥ The next item I picked was the Black Ghost Eyeball Skirt. It's just very creepy looking, in a good way. I've always been attracted to creepy things and eyeballs and stuff so naturally, I really like this skirt! The next item that caught my eye was this Black Drawstring Waist Ruffles Chiffon Skirt.  I really like this skirt because of the belt and the ruffles. The belt is in the shape of a bow and you all know how much I love bows! The hem of the skirt is kind of cloud shaped (clouds are fluffy and round that's all I can think to compare it to haha) and very cute! I love it.

I hope you enjoyed my Sheinside favorites and I hope you order from them, as well!

Have a nice day, everyone. 

Maxstar is basically an online store based in Korea that sells platform shoes, sneakers, and printed t-shirts. They also make over 150 pairs of custom converse with studded, painted, or platform and mixed the styles all together. The Maxstar brand was founded in 2008 and have been worn in all different parts of the world.

 I contacted Maxstar and asked them if they could send me a pair of shoes to review. I was extremely happy when I received an e-mail saying that they'd be glad to send me a pair of my choosing to review. I picked Maxstar C50 7-Holes Zipper Platform Sneakers in Black. 

My shoes were shipped out on Thursday April 25th around 10pm and arrived on Monday Apil 29th. My shoes were shipped from Korea to California in 3 days. That's amazing! That's seriously the fastest I've ever received an item from  an international store! They also sent me a tracking number via e-mail so that I knew where my package was the whole time. 

When I opened the box (I was a little too excited and ripped it open oops...) this is what was inside. My shoes were inside a cute Maxstar bag and they even sent me a pair of black shoe laces! How cool is that?! I love the little Maxstar bag so, I'm going to keep it and use it to store some of my bows or something.

They were also wrapped in clear plastic which, is really great, too. I thought the way the shoes were wrapped and everything was very professional and clean. My shoes come with white laces, as well. 

I decided to leave the white laces on because I think they look nice. As you can see, my shoes are platforms. Which means, they are elevated. The platform is attached to the shoe so that it won't come off. It's actually a part of the shoe so, it's not glued on or anything like that. You don't have to worry about it coming off or anything. 

On the inside of the shoe, there is a very soft cushion-y fabric. The inside is very comfortable because of this cushion like material. The cushion inside the shoe is very soft and a little squishy which is super comfortable! As you can see, the tag on the inside of the shoe says "Made in Korea" so, there's no doubt that these shoes are straight from Korea.

Here are what my shoes look like on my feet. At first, I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to walk in them since they are platform shoes and I'm very clumsy. But, I've been walking in them all day and so far, they are pretty comfortable for me. They aren't like, super heavy or anything, either. I think they're lighter than my regular tennis shoes, too. They also come with a zipper on the sides so, once you lace and tie them up you can just un-zip the zipper and slide your foot inside.

I got my shoes in a size 6.5 and they fit fine. I'd say if you like your shoes to have a little more room you should go either a half size or a full size bigger. I kind of wish I got mine half size bigger but, since they fit fine I'm not too worried about it. 

Overall, I am very satisfied with my shoes from Maxstar. The shipping was really fast and amazing, the customer service was good, and the product gets a 10/10 from me. They are honestly my favorite shoes now! I love them.

I hope you enjoyed this review. If you have any comment or questions about the shoes or anything, feel free to ask and I'd be happy to help.

Hello! I'm going to make a post for those of you who want to make a blogspot but, don't know how. Blogspot is a bit more complicated than tumblr so, there's going to be a lot of screenshots and I'm going to try my best to explain what to do. :3

Okay, first go to Blogger.com and sign up. It's super quick and easy so just follow the steps and complete the sign up process. 

Next, it will take you to the home page that kind of looks like this

Next you're going to click the symbol that looks like two papers on top of each other on the right hand side.

Then you're going to select "Template".

Then, it's going to take you to the Template page and you're going to select a template for your blog. Which is basically, what you want your blog layout to look like.

Personally, I like the "Simple" templates because they're really easy to customize.

After you select a template, you're going to go back to the template page and click the "Customize" button at the top of the page.

After you click the "Customize" button you're going to be taken to a page that looks like this

At the top of the page you're going to see a grey box where you can change your template, add a background, adjust the width of your blog, change the layout (which is where you decide if you want one sidebar, two, or none, a header or not etc.) Once you've picked a layout you're going to go back to blogger. 

Then you're going to head over to where the stack of papers symbol is and click the "Layout" option. It's going to take you to a page that looks like this

Here's where it gets a little tricky. You can add, remove, or re-arrange things on your blog using "gadgets". To add a gadget click "Add a Gadget" at the top of what would be, your sidebar. A window is going to pop up that looks like this

Here, you can select what you want to add to your sidebar. (links, pages, ads, HTML etc.) Now I'm going to explain what you have to do to customize your sidebar like this

Okay~!!! In that window (that you should still have open) you're going to click "HTML/Javascript"

Another window is going to pop up that looks like this

Here, is where you're going to put the HTML codes for your sidebar. *Just like you add HTML to your description on tumblr* The only thing is, you can't upload a sidebar photo like you can on tumblr. (or at least not that I'm aware of...) so, you're going to have to shrink the photo you want to use to fit in your sidebar and then add the basic image code. Which is~

<p><a href=""> <img src="IMAGEURLHERE" /></a></p>

To make an image go to a specific link when you click it, use this code.

<a href="LINK" target="_blank">

<img src="IMAGEURL" width="" height="" border="" style="border:px solid black;" alt="" />

</a>

And of course, you can add text, too. 

When you're finished adding everything you want to your sidebar. click "Save".

Once the window closes, feel free to re-arrange any of the gadgets on your blog by drag & dropping them where you want them to appear on your blog.

To add a header to your blog click "Edit" where it says "(Header)"

Then, a window is going to pop up that looks like this

Here, you can upload an image to your blog that will be your own personalized "header" or blog banner. You don't need special skills to make a cute banner. I just made an easy, cute, text banner using Paint. for cute downloadable fonts click here. For a tutorial on how to upload cute fonts to Paint click here. Keep in mind that when you're making your banner on paint that it is the recommended width x height otherwise, it won't fit or look right. When you're done upload the image file. (.png) and click "Save".

You can "Preview" your blog your blog before clicking save to make sure everything looks the way you would like it to. The options are in the top right hand corner.

Then click "Save Arrangement" to save your progress. 

Here's how you make posts on blogspot~!!!

You can make a blog post on anything you want. You can host giveaways, you can make DIY blog posts, you can make tutorials, you can post about your daily life, fashion tips, review products you love or hate etc. You can pretty much post whatever you'd like! I'm personally always looking for good blogs on blogspot so, the more the better. :) Now, how to make a post on blogspot:

Go to the homepage and click the orange pencil in the top right hand corner. 

It will lead you to a blank page that looks like this

Normally, I upload a banner for my title that I made on Paint. 

Here's how you upload photos so that they appear in your blog post.

At the top of the blank page you're going to see a little photo button that looks like this

Click the photo button and then a window will pop up. On the left side you'll see a bunch of options that you can use to insert an image into your post.

You can upload multiple files at once or just one at a time. It's up to you! You can upload JPG, GIF, and PNG files that are on your computer or already on your blog, from Picsa, from your phone, from your webcam, and even from a url.  

When you select an image (or images) to upload it will look like this. When you are done uploading the images you want in your post you can select each individually or all together. Click "Add Selected" to add the images to your blog post.

Sorry if you can't really see that. :c But basically, you can add text, change the font and size of your text, change the color of the text in your post, highlight the text in your post, add links, add an image, add a video, (which I just realized...oops) insert a "page break", change the alignment of your post, add numbers and bullet points to make a list, insert a quote, remove formatting (sounds dangerous though i've never done that....) and check spelling. Which is pretty much self explanatory but, I decided to let you all know what your options are. 

When you're done, don't forget to click "Save" and then click "Publish" to post on your blog. If you'd like, you can also "Preview" your posts before publishing them to make sure it looks awesome! 

Now I'm going to tell you guys how you can follow other blogs. Following other blogs is great because you get to see what others are posting on their blogs. It's always great following other blogs because you can also get ideas for your own blog, find cool tutorials and DIY's, find out the latest trends and fashion picks etc. 

Following blogs is pretty easy. 

Sometimes people have follow buttons located on their blog. But, if they don't here's how you follow people. Go to the homepage. On the left hand side you'll see your "Reading list" aka people you follow and a button that says "Add". 

Click the "Add" button and then a window will pop up on your screen that looks like this

There, you can add blogs you want to follow using their blog URl. This is what I usually do because it's a very quick and easy way to follow other blogs. Then, when you're done, click the "Follow" button. Once you've followed all the blogs you want they will appear in your left hand sidebar and on your dashboard like this

You can also view all posts from a specific blogger by selecting their blog that's listed in your reading list like this

Click the more >> option to view a specific post by the blogger you selected and it should pop up in a new window. 

Well~ that's pretty much it, really! I know it seems like a lot but, that's mostly because I was trying to explain everything in as much detail as possible so that everyone would understand. I know there may be different ways to use blogspot but, this is the way I did it. I hope this post was helpful and I hope to see you on blogspot, soon!
