Product Reviews: A New Wig & Cute Shoes

I like to think that with my collection of wigs now at 10+, I have a good idea of what makes a good wig and what makes a bad one.
I was sent this wig by Choies. If you saw my last wig review, you would know that I think the quality of the Choies wigs is superior to Ebay-bought ones. This is definitely true with this new Choies wig. At $32 (I think it is permanently "on special"), it is well worth getting this wig over a $10 or $20 one from Ebay. While ebay wigs can be great, the cheaper ones (from around the $10 mark) from Ebay are good for the first day or so... and then the hair starts falling out. EVERYWHERE. All the wigs I have gotten from Choies thus far have been a lot more sturdy, and I've gotten a good few months wear out of one of them, that is only now starting to become quite ratty (and I think that's unavoidable if you're dealing with synthetic hair).
If you watched my last wig review video, you'd know that I prefer my wigs to have long bangs. I'm not sure whether or not I'm going to cut this one yet - or if I will keep pinning it up like in the picture below. Obviously, the situation in the picture above is not ideal (if I want to see).
While my new short haircut is great, having long swooshy hair occasionally is still really fun. The link to this particular wig is here.

These ankle strap flats from Yeswalker are another item that I was asked to review on my blog.
I have been after a pair of simple black flats with a cute ankle strap for quite some time now! If I hadn't been asked to review these (and so was sent them for free), I would have bought something very similar, very soon. And these would have been a really good choice. At only $28 (and free shipping!), these shoes are well worth the price. They are elasticated, super comfy, and look adorable. I can't wait to wear them with a pair of thick white tights (unfortunately, I have destroyed all the white tights that I owned). However, they happen to look super cute with basically any socks you can think of pairing them with:
both socks from Japan (Thank You Mart & Tutuanna) / heart tights c/o My Tights

I am wearing both of these in my next outfit post! So make sure you come back to have a look at them in action tomorrow.

  1. I thought the first photo was a mannequin, you should be a wig model! :D I quite love this long wig, and who doesn't love to have long swooshy hair from time to time? The shoes are pretty cute and i like the sock combination :)

  2. so cute!! and I totally understand your frustration with bangs and wigs. There have been a couple wigs I have gotten where the bangs didn't look quit right, and layed weird on my forehead. I ended up cutting them and it looked ok after wards, but its always hard and frustrating to mess with. I wish you the best of luck with yours though, its a really pretty wig. :)

  3. I love the new wig and your new adorable flats! I think the bangs on the wig would look great cut shorter. You could definitely pull off that look! Your new flats are wonderful too. I could use a pair like those since my plain black flats are looking pretty ratty lately.

  8. The wig looks lush - I'd love to see how you would get on washing/generally restoring the wigs that are starting to look ratty.

  9. I'd never actually thought about getting flats with an ankle strap before, but these are so adorable! Te look really cute in the last photo with your heart print tights!
    I'd be interested to know if they stand the test of time since I seem to destroy every pair of flats I own!
