my boohoo shopping experience :) and a rant

Here's something new for you a rare fashion focused post.I recently had a chat with one of my lovely followers on twitter and facebook, the lovely Layna aka Glam Gemini - me and Layna go way back lol and the other day we had a chat about boohoo fashion and whether I'd ever bought anything from them. To be honest I've bought bits and pieces over the years but I've always found the quality a bit hitty missy but after receiving yet another email from them I decided to have another look and I'm glad that I did. The site is now much easier to search and much quicker to load than it used to be - in the past it was one of the worst designed sites I've ever used it was difficult to navigate and sooo slow to load - thankfully that's all changed. It loads much quicker and it easier to navigate - it's all split into sections including new beauty items and quirky things :) I decided to order a few bits mainly a couple of t-shirts

love the puff shoulders on this one

a gorgeous vest I believe the print design is called Amber and it comes in a few other items including a dress, and a long sleeved top -its gorgeous and so now

I also ordered a bandeau summer dress in gorgeous coral and purple / blue ombre design- it's a little shorter than I would have liked (that's the one I meant Layna ;)) but it will be a great for holidays or on the beach

So that was my little lot - I have to say I was super impressed with the quality this time - it had certainly improved compared to some of my previous orders with them, and I was also pleased to see that some items are available in a size 16. I did find that delivery took a little longer this time about 5 days but I took their UK Saver Delivery Option which was £3.99 you can also get next day delivery for £4.99 :) It's also good to see that they now deliver to Ireland and the majority of Europe now too and they now offer free returns - all in all I was pretty happy with my experience - check them out at boohoo
I wasn't paid or compensated by boohoo for this post and I paid for all my bits myself I just thought I'd let you know about my experience since it was a company that has often been mentioned.

OK sorry to alter the happy theme of my post but it's all connected so time for a little rant. I'm finding I'm having to do more of these lately I really don't know what's wrong with people. I've recently had a blog comment about my hauling (which I chose not to publish for their sake as well as my own) that upset me quite a bit, as many of you on twitter and facebook know, so I thought I'd better clarify a few points - first of all what I buy and specifically how I pay for it has nothing to do with anybody else and I don't have to justify or explain anything to anybody on here -You as my readers don't know about my financial or personal situation and I don't know about yours and that's the way it should be - I am doing nothing illegal or immoral by shopping despite what some people think - my blog is a happy place where I can try to forget some of the stresses of my everyday life and I want to keep it that way - if you leave a comment that offends me or upsets me then don't expect to have it published or to receive a personal reponse and if you don't want to read about my hauls or gifts I suggest you unfollow - my life, my blog, my rules
There are some lovely people out there in the blogging world and I am not going to let a few people ruin it - love you all xx
