Did I really place another VENT order? - LL wedges, earrings, JE OP, TLL knit, JC wedge pumps

What have I done lol. I had convinced myself that I wasn't going to place any more VENT orders until the spring 2014 stock went on sale (at least 20%) or until the 4th My Melody collab OP was released at the end of March. But VENT emails strike again...I noticed they added new stock to the Outlet Shop so I browsed through all 45 pages of in-stock items and ended up with these things in my cart after 2 hours of going back and forth.

It started with these shoes.(I think they're from SS13.) I currently have the same ones in yellow which I bought when they were on sale. At the time, the only color in stock in my size was yellow, and I decided that I loved the design so I just bought them even though I wasn't the biggest fan of yellow. They're pretty comfy though, and I love the floral inner sole. I swear this dusty pink color wasn't available last year. There was a pink option earlier, but it was more of a deep pink and disappeared after awhile?
I hope the shoes I receive actually look like the top stock photo and don't end up being the deeper pink...But still I like the either pink more than the yellow and was sad that option wasn't available earlier so I'm glad I got this second chance.

I fell in love with this dress after seeing it on Cheynna. She wears it much better than the stock photo model and the mannequin which both [apparently] don't do this dress justice! Decided to take a chance on it since Berry also did (in orange) lol. Original price was 14490yen and it was like 70% off.

Similarly to the shoes, I wanted these during SS13 but they sold out before they went on sale. I don't usually wear dangly earrings because I already kind of have a lot going on on my ears, but I don't own many Liz Lisa accessories, and I really like these. (Berry has these also lol.) I also wanted the matching necklace but that was sold out.

 
No real reason for buying this other than I want a white knit of this length for a reasonable price and this was 70% off 5145yen. It also looks to be on the thinner side, and I like the pattern on the front. I think this will be good for casual looks with skirts.

These last shoes are Jeffrey Campbell Pizans wtf! Juge Etta was selling them, and I don't know why? I questioned this pretty hard for a good portion of the 2 hours of internal debate but at the price, I thought it was a risk worth taking.  I looked up this shoe on google and apparently it's a 6 inch heel with a 2 inch platform. I have my doubts about the comfort level, but I don't have another pair of black shoes like this so it'll be an interesting addition. 

I'm definitely afraid of what the Tenso fee + EMS shipping will be for this order since it contains two pairs of shoes, but total I paid around $144 for these 5 items which is basically the retail price of the Juge Etta dress! I can't wait to try on that OP in particular since it looks so darling on the two people I know who have already ordered it lol.

  1. I still don't know where those earrings are... ? It's really frustrating. I'm curious about those shoes, both of them. The pink ones are cute - I'm so confused where they pale pink came from as well. I didn't see them last Summer at all (I wonder if they were late stock, maybe? Or a late stock/replacement for the deep pink?) Who knows. That knit looks so cosy!!

    1. Lol I have no idea but the dusty pink doesn't even seem to vibe with the bright colors of last summer since there weren't that many accessories in the dusty pink but more in the bright one! I guess I'll see in a few weeks.

    1. Ugh yeah I'm not looking forward to it. Plus that I might get caught with customs fees :(. That's why I stopped submitting big orders lately :|

  3. The pink shoes is cute. I love the pale pink color. The Juge Etta dress is lovely, and for 70% off is a great deal. :3 I've been ignoring all of vents emails, it has prevented me from shopping there. I am waiting for the sales and the new My Melody collection, I have my eyes on the pink tote bag that will be released at the end of March I believe,

    1. Haha well I've been eagerly awaiting the VENT email that advertises the sale so I am carefully examining each one lol. And yeah definitely going to try to get a few collab items at the end of March!

  4. Hahaha Emiii, you seriously must be one of the biggest fans of Liz Lisa outside of Japan, if not the biggest. Nice purchases! I like that wedge sandals but unfortunately they're too high for me. I once bought a pair of wedges and when I realised how high they were I ended up selling them. :(

    That Jugeetta dress is so cute and the colour is very vibrant! The Summer 2013 Happy bag had a similar print as the dress. XD

    I was tempted when I saw the sale notice but I have to steel myself from buying anything as I need to save up for the Spring Collection shoes and the My Melody collection. XD

    1. Haha there are actually many international customers who buy just as much, if not more than me! I'm just happy to support the brand I like.
      I was telling myself the same thing as you (to save up for the spring stuff and MM collab items) but I ended up purchasing anyway. I have such a hard time passing up a deal and most of these are summer items, newly re-listed, suitable to wear all year for me so I thought I had to jump at it :)
