Life Update and SpreePicky Review!

Hi everyone! I haven't posted here in a while ^#^"
The reason why is because I've been busy getting ready for university and adjusting to Uni life! I have to say, I have been finding it extremely fun!

So far I have been at university for seven weeks and I have been undertaking lectures for five of those weeks. The first week was 'fresher's week' where there were all sorts of activities and inductions, and the other 'free' week was something called 'future week' where there various workshops and talks. These were mostly for second and third years so I took the opportunity to go back to my house in Wales so that I could visit my Grandparents, friends and boyfriend.

It was very strange going back home because I felt like I was missing my family. The flat in Worcester is like a second home, every one of my flatmates is absolutely lovely and I've had so much fun living here and experiencing this different life already.
Now I'd like to share a review with you! If you are a fan of kawaii fashion, you have probably heard of the popular store SpreePicky!

Thought I'd mention that SpreePicky have not sponsored me for this review, I was genuinely impressed with the items I received and I'd love to spread the word!

I have been a fan of SpreePicky for aaaages, so I was extremely excited to order from them for the first time! After hearing their positive reviews, I was persuaded to make a purchase. I decided to buy the Cosplay Custume Sailor Collar School Uniform Set Super Stretch Free Ship SP140364 in #4 violet XL (Remember that the measurements are in a Chinese context so XL isn't actually supersize x'D Make sure that you measure yourself before you make a purchase~). Here is the image on the website for this product~ They carry this item in loads of different colours, so I am considering buying another!

I also bought the {3 For 2} Over Knee Girly Silk Stocking SP130234 in white!

When I bought these items, the seifuku was about £12 and the socks were about £5. I bought them on the 9th of October and I think that received them on the 15th or 16th! That's super fast! I ordered a wig from a Chinese seller on on the same day and that (although it's in the UK) still hasn't arrived at my flat!

It made me really happy that even though I'm an ordinary customer, I still received 5 star service! The company kept me updated with emails and provided me with a tracking number which made me feel a lot safer about my order.

Now some pics of my order!
This is how my package came to me. At first I thought that I had been sent the wrong thing or that I had just been sent the socks because it was so small, but actually it was just wrapped up all nicely and securely!
This is what my package looked like all together! As you can see, they sent me a lovely note and a free ring as a gift! Such a lovely little touch~
Here are some pictures of the details~
As you can see, the bow is detachable! ^#^!
Be careful with the safety pin though!
As you can see, the seifuku was in very good condition! It was a little crinkled but you'd expect that after being in transit for a week! I would also like to mention that you should wear a vest/white bra underneath the top as it is a bit see through, but SpreePicky do mention that on their website anyway!

Now for some pictures of me wearing the products! ^###^!!!
I absolutely love, love, love these products!
I feel so cute and happy when I wear them!
All of my flatmates and my boyfriend thought that they were lovely too!

Thank you SpreePicky for your excellent service!
I will definitely be buying from you again in the future!

So the journey begins...

Good day everybody!
I hope that you're all doing wonderfully! I certainly am!

A WARNING NOW, THIS IS A LONG POST X'D

As you may have guessed by the title, I was accepted into university!
As you can tell, I am very excited xD

The reason I didn't post after I saw that I was accepted into university was because I have been in shock xD Over the past couple of days I have registered with the University and chosen my modules, applied for a bank account, registered to vote and I've been looking at phone contracts too!

I've been busy xD I just like to get things done!
Teehee! Very sad to say that these are possibly the last few days of living in Dubai (who knows, I might come back to work myself!), but I am extremely grateful that University is the next phase in my life.
Furaaaaan Leveeeeel UP! ^#^"""

My parents insisted that I make a list of things I want to do since I may not come back for a while (I'm planning to visit in Easter but you never know, something might happen between then and now) so I will be starting that today. I won't be putting a lot of things on my list...only the places that are important to me; like Dragon Mart (an indoor Chinese market) or Daiso (oh my gosh, I will miss Daiso u.u I might get withdrawal symptoms D:) and possibly the Atlantis hotel (ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET WOO) because I have had some very fond memories there :3

I leave on the 22nd of August, and will be driven to my new house in Wales~ (I'm from North Wales but only my Mum and Dad has seen the new house)

One day before my Dad and brother leave the land of the sheep (my brother starts school earlier than I start Uni) we will go to Worcester to move my things into my flat! Squee! That will be tiring but fun. We also plan to stay in a hotel or something over night so that we can explore the city more and so that I can get my bearings xD I'm so excited to see both my home house room and uni flat room! I really, really love my house bedroom because from what I could see from pictures it is such a cosy size and the view is gorgeous! I can't wait to decorate it! That's a job for my Mum and I in the last week I'm in Wales ;D

I apologise for the long post but as you can tell my happiness is through the roof! Not only will I be in a gorgeous city, living close to the town and campus, I will be studying the things that really make me tick.

I love what The University of Worcester offer, they really do let you customise your course to suit you and that flexibility allows you to do pretty much anything you want. They give you a good balance between helping you if you need support but still giving you the things you need to be independent.

I can't wait! I'm not sure when my next update will be, most likely in the middle of the week or the day before I leave, we'll see. I will be so busy! xD

Worth it though! :D
Until next time!

Three Days Left~

Hello again everyone!
You may have noticed a slight change!
I have been editing the layout for my tumblr a lot too...
I thought I'd post a quick update now that there are three days until the 14th of August, AKA A-Level Results day! On Thursday I will find out if I actually got into my university of choice! I'm a little bit nervous but quite excited (and impatient)! My family, friends and boyfriend have all been so supportive, which makes me feel very lucky, however anxious since I want to do well for them as well as myself! I have done my best and that's all that you can do!
In other news, I'm the luckiest girl in the world >#<! My boyfriend is an angel! He surprised me by buying my first lolita dress for me (I will pay him back though >=D)! I was thinking of doing a review for it; though my outfit post might not be very good because I don't have a petticoat or any lolita shoes u.u I'll probably wait until I can do a proper outfit post before I do the review, that way I would have been able to give you a proper review to show you and tell you how it wears~ In case you're wondering, it's the Bodyline L089 JS. He ordered it from cosmates though because the shipping he wanted was cheaper (:

Here is a picture of the dress!
Isn't it gorgeous?! Squee! He bought me the blue sax one because he thought that it would suit me better. The little heart belt makes me think of a magical girl and the frills at the bottom make it look so pretty and girly >##<
So yes, that is what has been going on in my mind recently.
Thank you so, so much for reading and I hope to see you soon!

Hello there!

Welcome to my blog, it's lovely to have you!

How are you? I hope that you're having a lovely day!
It's wonderful to meet you, my name is Francesca.

You can see my information in the sidebars~

This entry will be about the contents of my future posts ^#^

In September 2014 I will be leaving Dubai and returning to university in my home country (the UK) to study both computing and Japanese. It's quite hard to be independent in Dubai, so this is the first time I'll have to look after myself completely. This main idea for this blog is that I will be posting about my first time experiences at Uni, however this is also a space intended for me to chat in general. I also have an idea to do reviews for products such as clothes, beauty and possibly even games.

Since this is my 'chill out space', the theme of my posts may vary, so be warned!

So yeah, that's my idea and this is me :3

I hope to see you stick around and experience my journey with me!

Have a nice day!
