Skullcandy Knockout headphones review

 I was looking for my first ever set of headphones when I stumbled upon these lovelies. Now I love almost all music, but am in no way an educated or experienced audiophile. I can't stand distorted or muffled sounding music/sound and that's about it. Shaped like smaller versions of the Aviators or restyled Navigators, the Knockouts are marketed as 'headphones for women;' Supposedly the sound is geared for our ears. Regardless of the technological jargon, when I saw these I knew that they would be mine...
Because I cannot resist floral print and multicolour haired models.

'If you like the headphones, you're gonna love this BOX!' packaging at its best :)
  These headphones are comfortable, they cut out almost all other noise & they have a removable cable that plugs into one side. The sound quality is perfect for me and you all know that I bought it for the sweet retro style :)  At US$99.95 they are not the cheapest, but are not hideously expensive either. They are available in 'Duck Egg,' 'Black Spike,' and 'Burgundy Floral.'

After a few weeks of use I noticed that the jack that connects to the headphones needs to be jiggled around a bit to regain contact, otherwise you will hear sound in only one ear. This is not ideal but it is something that doesn't bother me too much. I would say I was kind of hoping for more but lets be honest, I bought these for their looks >.<
What they look like on  ◠ω◠:

They also come with this super cute little matching pouch to store them in, which is a big plus in my eyes as it protects them for dust and sand when you put it in your bag.

You can buy them on the Skullcandy Website HERE.


If you get a chance to get a hold of these, I would recommend them! They are beautiful with a nice choice of colours - The only issue that I've had is that the jack needs to be wiggled a bit to get propper contact.

Legging Haul from Aliexpress! Burgain Huntress Alert

Hi everyone!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! I've recently put on some weight and am a little self concious about my body, so this is the PERFECT time to buy a whole load of skin tight unforgiving cameltoe inducing garments! I do think I can style them so that they don't emphasize my thunderthighs too badly, though, (*dusts shoulders off*) and as a massive fan of anything that isn't jeans I had to give them a go. I hauled these beautiful leggings from Aliexpress (a while ago *cries*) but better never than late I always say! (Amba, that makes no sense.)

First I got these Cream Floral ones:
All styled with Boohoo Tania Ankle Strap Platfroms
These leggings are nice and opaque, and a very wearable cream floral. They're exactly like in the pictures and super cheap. They are a OSFA deal so it's lucky that they are quite stretchy, and the colour I chose is 'beige' which is actually a light cream. (For reference I'm a NZ/UK size 8 - I think it's a US size 4)

Galaxy Print and Adventure Time Leggings ripped off from Black Milk Clothing:
 
Galaxy Green I think these leggings are a gorgeous colour! I got them in a size 'M' and they fit fine. the length is also perfect, I just accidentally hitched it up a little on one side.




Galaxy Rainbow: I'm not sure if these are the ones I ordered as sometimes things look different from the picture - these look a bit more red than rainbow, but still quite nice. I got these in an 'S' but can't see the difference between the sizing of these or the galaxy green in 'M.'

WHAT TIME IS IT?! Adventure Time!!...  Leggings!


As a huge fan of Adventure Time, how could I resist these? They also had many other versions, like Princess Bubblegum or B-Mo leggings but I just got the one that had them all on there. They are a slightly different materiel to the Galaxy Print leggings, more stretchy. Got these in an 'M' as well, they are really comfy!

All of the Black Milk rippoffs shown above are available HERE

I need to invest in some longer T-shirts and Jumpers to really feel comfortable wearing these, but when properly styled they look and feel great. But if you have model legs, you could wear these with a crop top and be golden haha
