FAQ

Q: I like this item! Where can I find/buy it?
A: Just below the picture - every post shows price, sizes, colors and link to its shop.

Q: Your links redirect to a Chinese website...
A: Yep, every item in this blog is sold on the most popular online marketplace in China: Taobao. So don't be scared! It's perfectly normal :)

Q: So how can I buy them?
A: You need a shopping service, which is an intermediary between Taobao and you. You can easily find one by googling: most are safe, but I recommend to check some reviews first. Usually they take from 5% to 10% of service fee on the total purchase.

Q: I cannot understand Chinese - how can I read the item original page?
A: Google Translator is your friend. If you unsure about some translation anyway, just ask to your shopping service: you pay them for this too! :D I can help (I buy on Taobao regularly since years), but I cannot guarantee my translation is exact - I don't speak Chinese.

Q: Is Taobao reliable?
A: As Ebay, Taobao is a big marketplace featuring a lot of different sellers and shops: most of them are safe, but you always have to be careful. Anyway, all the items on this blog are sold by sellers with good feedbacks and reviews - I don't want to feature shady businesses! But please remember that I cannot personally guarantee for them: if yours is a professional shopping service, they will check the items for you when delivered at their warehouse, and they will ask for refund from the seller if items are broken, wrong or missing (...even if this happens really rarely!)

Q: Can you find something for me?
A: Google Translator works fine, so please try translating there before asking to me: I'm glad to help translating common sayings or certain unusual words - this is useful for both of us! :) But please don't ask me how to translate "yellow" or "handbag"...use Google Translator instead. Thank you!
Plus, I'm working on a dictionary to help you finding stuff more easily: you can check it at this link!

Q: What about sizing?
A: Every shop has its size chart, which is usually shown on the item page. If you cannot find it, ask to your shopping service to contact the shop for sizing informations.

Q: I'm plus sized (XL+). Will I find items suitable for me?
A: Yes! Usually items listed as one-size are stretchy (check for their size chart anyway), and most shops sell various sizes which can be suitable for plus sizes too. Things become a little harder if you are approximately over 110cm of bust and 90cm of waist because you'll have to specifically search for plus size items only.
On this blog, I mark with "plus sizes" tag the items which can accomodate more centimeters than usual.

Q: What about brand replicas?
A: Always check in the item page on Taobao if there is the tag "Genuine" ( 正品 ) in title or description. If you cannot find it, there are good chances the item is a replica and/or it is not branded. Asking confirmation to your shopping service agent is the best thing to do!
