Remember that Fred Flare gift certificate I won? Last month I decided to use it to purchase some accessories that would go well with my semi-formals dress. But unfortunately, it didn’t get delivered in time for the dance. 
Instead, it was delivered last Wednesday. That would mean I waited 4 weeks for my package to get delivered! I found that absolutely absurd because all the purchases my friends made from Fred Flare arrived in less than a week, whereas mine took a month! 
I don’t blame Fred Flare though—I think it was Canada Post’s fault + the snowstorms in the states.
But what a bad first-time-online-shopping experience that was! Makes me feel reluctant to buy merch online the next time…
Actually, not really. I want to buy too many things online to care how long it takes to arrive. I JUST WANT THE STUFF, OK?
Soooo, I guess I should just be glad my package arrived safe, right? RIGHT. *PHEW*
And now, on to the feature presentation: the picspam!!!
What I ended up getting: Inés Sunglasses ($11), Singing Sparrow Necklace ($14), Cat’s Meow Cocktail Ring ($3), aaaaand of course, the Grey UrbanEars Classic Cool Headphones ($68):
I must say, wearing the sunglasses + headphones combo is perfect for winter 
It keeps my ears warm and prevents snow from flicking into my eyes, so now I don’t have to squint
For the sake of being random, here is a photo of the little key-chain my older sister bought me during her trip to Cancun, Mexico (she’s the one I stole this DSLR from 
):

Agh, I hate it when packages arrive late, especially when you need them to get there on time. But yeah, the snow storm in the US delayed everything: my Valentine’s day flowers, my roommate’s textbook, and your accessories. But I love the ring, it’s so cute

love the purchases!
my first online shopping experience was bad too, which makes me more cautious to buy anything online. the product didn’t look as nice as it did on the laptop screen when it arrived

That stuff is so cool!!!
Maybe you should ask for a tracking number for your package next time? whenever something doesn’t arrive within a week and a half, I always get nervous, and I constantly check my packages wanting to know where in the world they are….
I think you should have complained to Fred Flare (and hopefully snagged free stuff…) because really, a month is too long!!!! Unless they told you before hand it was going to take a month….
Glad you got them at the end though. Have fun with them.

Wow, a month…that’s crazy! xD It’d drive me nuts if I had to wait that long, especially if I were buying items like yours!
Your headphones are so cool, I bet it’s worth the price. I wish it came in other colors though, like purple.

I shop online often and I’m that concerned how long it takes. Because afterwards, when I received my package, it feels like a free gift instead of a purchase. Haha.
Congrats to you for winning it, and the stuffs you choose are so cute! I’m lovin’ the headphones you got.
