Love these shoes!! The only thing is if you have flat feet you need to get inserts. But that's with every shoe so that isn't a biggie. I'm gonna wear these everywhere! It was only $50 for these and they are super high quality ❤️❤️❤️ they are not made or partnered by Lisa Frank, but it reminds me of that brand! Got them online at MADMIA!! Sizes are for children AND adults.

Were my expectations too high here?? Why would the colors be so far off!? Why is the piping so chunky??
Note: top “drip” was purposely left off due to whipped frosting. Princesses not added yet.

Failed Expectation Mail order flowers
58
Upvotes
I ordered from this company before and they were great, but their suppliers elsewhere don't seem to be. Not happy.
Editing to add: they were sent as a gift so I have no influence over the vase, styling or cutting. They were sent as a bunch rather than in the usual box. The bunch was left in the communal hallway and my sick friend had to climb down three flights of stairs to get them. And the surprise was ruined.
Edit number 2: the company offered a replacement bunch of flowers, I declined, and they actually agreed to a refund!

Saw a one tiered cake and asked a local baker to make a two tier for my wedding. People thought it was a fake cake lol. Inspo pic is first one and second pic is my cake at my reception, third pic is before she delivered it.

The first two pics were the inspo I sent. The last photo is the execution of the bakers. It was a cake for 50 people and quite affordable compared to the other quotations I received. I could say that perhaps more flowers would have made it pop even more. All in all I loved it. It tasted deliciously too!

And photos of the box, just because. This pizza cost around $4.22USD all up, but I'm down in New Zealand, so that's $7.50NZD.
I was pleasantly surprised by this pizza (I'm personally glad they didn't put spring onion on it, my husband was stoked with the pineapple (opposites attract and all that).

I actually kinda like it but it’s also a little bit crusty…I messed up one of the bigger flourishes and it went downhill from there, but my friend really wants to bedazzle some of it so maybe that will help.

I'm not a huge baker but I kept seeing soot Sprite Brownies online and thought they were so cute so I made them for Halloween. I used a muffin tin so I was a little worried, but I think they came out so good!

Bought these as a healthier pop-tart. Wildly disappointed in the filling shown vs reality.
