Hello everyone, welcome back. So today we are doing another exciting Taobao Haul which is great cause I really enjoyed doing my last one and a lot of people liked it, so um, I wanted to tell you about this one. Um, if you wanna know how to order things from Taobao I already made a video about that, you can check that out. Um, hopefully its comprehensive enough. Um, my previous Taobao Haul you can also check that out so you can know what it is and all that. Um, but I just wanna get right back into this one cause I ordered quite a few things and I'd like to share them with you.

Okay. So, I'll start with this skirt here. Um it is like a kind of a religious print, I guess. It's like got a, um like, I don't.. I don't know some kind of, like, painting scene on it. Um, in the corner, it's got like C A R VEN(?). I don't know it, its kind of, um, interesting. It's like a pencil skirt. Um, it was very big for me, so I had to take in the waist a little bit with a safety pin. I might sew that later. Um. There's a zipper down the side so that's how you wear it. Um, I'm not so sure about this one. I didn't really like it as much as I liked it in the photo and on the model. Um, inside it its got like a Dolce & Gabbana label, um, which I think is a lie, um, because this was like 12 Pounds and they don't really sell things for 12 Pounds at Dolce & Gabbana, but um I think that's like quite a common practice in Taobao. They just sew in like designer labels or they make their own but, whatever. Um, it's it's quite cool I think I might, like, love it a little bit more in a bit, but right now I'm not so big into it. But um, I felt that the print was really interesting and I think these, um like, religious prints are becoming very fashionable so I like, It's not really? religious. It's like, um, renaissance I guess, so yea. I thought it interesting so I wanted to get one just to see if I liked it or not.

This next thing I have is a cloud shirt. Let me just button it up so you can have a better view. Here we go. Okay, so I really like this. It's made from a really lightweight but comfortable fabric. It's not itchy or anything. It's really soft. The print is very vibrant and bold, and also it's a distinctive print. You couldn't really buy that over here. It looks really nice. It looks really nice when it's on. I'm very pleased with it. It's also quite warm, so it's good for where I live, where it's not so hot. Here we go, there's the back. But I'm very pleased with it, so I don't really have much to say, except there are some other prints, so maybe next time I order something from Taobao, I'll get one of the other prints. But I wanted to get a colorful one, because I wanted to get some more new interesting prints. That's why I got the previous skirt. But yeah, I'm very pleased with this, so I would recommend this.
Here is a top. When I was on Taobao, I searched the term Wild Fox. Wild Fox is a brand. I think it's an American brand. They do really gorgeous T-shirts, but they're all like 80 pounds, or something. They're really expensive, and I don't really want to pay that much for a T-shirt, so I searched Wild Fox to see if I could get any cheap knock-offs, and I did. I found this cute cat shirt which has got a really nice cat face on it. I thought it was lovely. It's a really nice stretchy soft material, I think I'm going to get a lot of wear out of this. It has a low scoop neck, which is good, because this is the kind of neck line I would enjoy the most. But yeah, I'm more than impressed with it. It was like two pounds, so it's a good quality T-shirt I found.

by john_knaphus 3:07 - 5:45

Here is another thing which I got from my search. (turned) Wild Fox. This one's got a label inside of it. Again, I really doubt this is a real one, because it was, again, like two pounds, but I'm not going to complain if it is. It's a polo shirt with these wings on the front of it. I thought it was kind of like smart, casual, because you know, it's black and white, the wings are, like, printed on, I think that's like (re-imprinted?) on. They seem, like, inky, if you know what I mean. Like when you get T-shirts and they're kind of like, you know, it feels like ink, so it's not transfer paper, though, it's just like ... I don't know. I think it's been (re-imprinted) on. By the way, it's comfortable, It's, you know, just a regular polo shirt. I've got nothing really to add on to this. It looks quite nice when it's buttoned all the way up. I would just complain about the placement of the wings, and also where this ends. I would prefer all of this to be a little bit lower down so you have a little bit more neck room, but again, I don't really care that much, it's quite nice, so there you go.

This is just small bando. It was like one pound. I got it because bandos are really hard to find on my island, but it's got a lacy front and a straight back. It fits fine. They only do it one size, and one size fitted me, so that's great. I bought this to go with ... So this is my mesh cross top. You can kind of see me through it, which is interesting. It's just, you know, made out of a mesh material with crosses thickly printed onto it. It's like a polo neck, which I'm not big into, but again, you know, it's fine. There's like a cotton ring around the top and the bottom. You can wear this over things. There's a trend of chiffon trousers, chiffon skirts, chiffon dresses. In fact, you just put it on over another outfit to kind of give it another shape, and I wanted to get one, but the one which I wanted was all sold out. My heart kind of wasn't in it anymore. So I found this, though, and I thought, you know, I can put this over a random outfit, so ... It looks nice over this outfit. You can have it tucked in or tucked out. Whatever you want to do. I thought it was quite cool. It's an interesting fashion motion, so I like it.

I thought this dress was really adorable. It's got a sailor collar at the top. It's got a little knot here. The back has got some shearing. They come in really nice colors, actually. They do, like, a blue - no, like a beige top and a blue skirt, which is the one I wanted, but it was sold out, so I was like, "okay, I'll have green all over," 'cause I thought it stood out quite nicely. It's really comfortable. It's really nice. It has like a nice spin to it. It's, like, nicely weighted and everything. I think that it's really cute. The buttons are nice. I don't think this, like ... Oh yeah, the buttons do come undone, but I don't know why you'd wanna do that. there's really not much point because it just slips on over the top. But yeah, really pleased with it. Really cute. Like it. Good for the summer.

by john_knaphus 5:45 - 7:42

I thought this dress was really pretty. It's one that surprised me. It kind of reminds me of the movie Grease, the Pink Lady would probably go quite well in this. I think Frenchy was wearing a dress like this in one scene, so that's where I'm getting that from. The shoulders are slightly padded. The skirt is, you know, skirty. It's got a nice kind of, you know, chiffon feeling to it. It's got this weird little, like, belt I guess, made out of the same material. I don't really know what's going on there. I might remove it. 'Cause it looks kind of funny with a tie at the front, but I don't know. The top is button-up. You could have it buttoned up all the way to the top or just a little bit below if you want to. There's two pockets, but they're not really pockets, there's just the flaps. It's really cute. The sleeves are also buttony, if you want to button them up. Take it off before you do, because it's really hard to do it when you're wearing it. So don't be lazy. And yeah, it's really nice, it has an underskirt on it as well, of the same color, so it won't be too see-through. But yeah, I'm also very pleased with it, more pleased than I thought I would be, so that's great.

And this dress was great, it's like an all-over cat print. It's a bit hectic. The store actually did some really nice cat skirts, but they were sold out, so I was like, "okay, I'll just have the cat dress." And on the collar, it says "I would like to become Cat" on both sides, embroidered, which I thought was great, it's a very good mantra for everybody. It's got a shirred waist, I guess, so any size is fine for this. It fits quite nicely. I think I might wear like a petticoat or something underneath it. It's a very simple basic cotton dress. There's no lining or anything. The top is button-up of course. And yeah, I bought it merely for the print and for like the style and it's a very, like, sweet kind of dress, so I like it. I'm pleased with it, and I really like Peter Pan collars as well, so this was also another buying point for me.

by john_knaphus 7:42 - 12:39

So this was a blouse which I was interested in getting. I'm not as pleased with it as I wanted to be, which is a shame. It's quite nice, like it's got a very ruffled front, which I thought was great, 'cause I really like ruffles at the front. It's button-up, and at the top it fastens with like this bow that you tie yourself. One thing I thought was weird was the sleeves are really pretty, but this big kind of like armpit gap, I'm not sure what that's about. I think it's kind of strange, so I'm not really digging it. But yeah, it's quite nice, like the material is light. I guess you wan't have any sweat marks or anything, because there's no armpits on it. I thought it would have more sleeves than this.

I finally did it! I found a transparent backpack! I really wanted an actually white clear one, but then I realized after like looking at pages and pages of transparent backpacks, trying to find the right one, that I actually wanted the pink one, so I got this pink backpack. It was about two pounds, I think. It's really, like, I don't know, I really love the feeling of this, it's like ... you know that feeling? Yeah, it's great. It's pretty, like, it's alright. I'm sure it'll be good. I haven't used it as a backpack yet, but if smells like fun plastic. I think you know what I mean. It's got these strappers at the side as well, which is kind of strange. It's really bright, but I mean, it's transparent. It's a transparent backpack. I've wanted one for ages, and now I've got one. And that was actually one of the reasons why I made the order, but yeah, they're not really very safe, like don't keep all your personal effects in here, which you need, like a passport, because people are going to see it and steal it. But if you don't care about that, if you're just going out to the shop or something, even then people are going to see, I don't know, just don't let people touch it. It is a transparent backpack. Maybe like have a bag within a bag, so people can't see what you're carrying. But other than that, I think they're really cool and fashionable.

Here we are on to accessories, so I got these tights,I think you might have seen them on Tumbler if you're on Tumbler, but look at them. There are cat faces. They're really cute and they're on the back, oh my goodness, cat tails! These are designed to look like knee-high socks. These tights which look like knee-high socks are actually very popular. I don't really personally see what the deal is. I would prefer to wear knee-high socks, but if you want to wear tights which look like knee-high socks, then you're more than welcome to, and you can do that at any free will. The skin color is ... they're quite warm. It's quite like a opaque tight, I guess, but they're really thick, especially here, it's like double tighted, I guess, so. They're warm, and they're comfy, and they're nice. This is the M/L size. I would have gotten the smaller size, but actually these fit me pretty well, and they're actually pretty tight, so don't feel afraid to go for the M/L size, 'cause they fit me pretty good, so I think they'll fit anybody, which is awesome, so yeah. I really like these. They're really warm and soft and nice, so that's good.

I got this fluffy cat ear headband. I don't know if you can see it very well. But I saw this shop with like a little ears, so I was like, "Cool, I'm going to get some ears." It's quite comfy. It think it's just cheep like, you know, cardboard, but you know, they're quite soft. They're like gray cat ears, so that's wonderful. I could be a cat if I want to. This is the first pair of cat ears I ever bought, or ever worn, I believe. So there's a fun fact for you, but that's great.

I also got these bear ears. They actually remind me of Micky Mouse ears, now that I come to think of it, but they're quite, like, cute. They remind me of the pearl headbands which I bought. They're reviewed on my blog post. I thought they weren't like the same style, but they're bear ears, which I've not seen before, so I was quite in to these. I wanted to get some fluffy bear ears, but they were sold out, so hey ho, maybe next time. But in the mean time, these are really cute, so I'm glad that I got these. They're quite heavy, actually, so you can't do much rocking around, but if you're just going to be like, you know, steadily walking, like not swishing too much, then you should be fine. But they do rock forward, if you do that, so be careful of that.

This is a flower crown headband. This is the only one which looks good on me, 'cause I was in Primark the other day trying on, like, all of them, and they looked so silly, but this one looks really good. The flowers are, like, just the right size. The way it was packaged, it was packaged like this, so there's kind of a break between these two, so they don't sit as well together as they should do, but I think with time, just laying out straight, they'll get back to normal. It's, you know, it's just on a braid, so on a black braid, but you can't really tell. It's basically just like flowers glued to a headband. Anybody could make one of these. But I thought it was really cute and nice, so I got one, 'cause I'm lazy, and I didn't want to (source?) any flowers or anything. But the color scheme is pretty, I wanted to get like blue and pink and champagne-color ones, but I didn't 'cause it was out of stock, or for some other reason. I would have gotten this a while ago. But yeah, I kind of like this. It's cute, it's nice. I'm glad. It's kind of like (jewelry S?) style, so I thought it was pretty, and I wanted, and I got it, and it's nice.

I finally got some bunny ear clips. (Um) These are (um) some clip headbands. (Um) I was gonna get the other one if you watched my last video I got like a single one but then I decided you know this was from the same shop as that so of course I'll save on shipping. (Um) and these are cute they're like slightly tinted inside pink, like uh a bunny's ear and they're really nice and real steady and they stay up right. And they're like little cotton fluffy things they're really nice so a lot about these.

by som3girl 13:03 - 13:41

I got two of these skeleton hair clips, um I wanted these for a while. Last time I tried to get them they were out of stock, but this time they were not out of stock so I got two of them. They look really cool, they look like somebody's like grabbing your hair, or like pulling it back. They're kinda creepy, but um, and they're also, I'm a little bit late on these, these are kinda already a thing, so. Um, but I wanted to get some (?) because I think they look really cool when you have your hair in a bun, and they're like grabbing the bun. Um, I don't know, they're like little friends. Um, but yeah, I really, I was very pleased with these they have a small clip which is not visible from the front side. Um, you can kinda, you know, just grab them on anywhere and they'll look pretty good, so.

by diekultur 13:41 - 14:21

That concludes my Taobao Haul for this week - this month I guess for a few months. I'm not going to make another one, hopefully not by the end of this year because they are quite (?) to do. I really don't need to buy that many new things, my wardrobe is overflowing as it is. Anyway, thank you so much for watching - if you want to know about the weights of all my items, I've wrote them all down individually because I weighed all of them individually, so I'll put that in the description and then you can kind of understand how much everything weighs if you want to get it yourself, you can calculate your own prices. I thought it be a bit useful, it's always something that I want to know like - I can't know, I have to guestimate in my head and to calculate how much my shipping is going to be.

by keminune 14:21 - 14:33

But, um...yeah, I hope that it will be useful for you and also like, the links to everything are going to be in the description, so, thank you very much for watching um, thank you, and I'll see you soon.

by risusan 14:33 - 15:18

Also, I'm gonna be attending Japan Expo next week, um, in London. I'm doing a show with an artist called Kilie, um, and we're gonna be doing some performing, gonna meet-and-greet, and that's going to be great, and then next day I'm going to Japan Expo to perform. Um, hopefully, good things can come from that, um, I'll be going by the name Anne, so, that's actually my real middle name, but they wanted something different to Becky, so, ??? for Anne, so, uh, feel free to refer to me as that when you see me at Japan Expo, if you want to say "hi". I'll be probably hanging around the NHK booth, um, we'll be doing some work together, but that's be really great and exciting, so I'm gonna probably, hopefully, blog all that, um, if I'm good, but, either way, thank you for staying tuned. Thank you for supporting me, and I'll see you next Time!

Some of it was hard to understand, especially the fashion terms (and I'm not really in to fashion) but that should be mostly correct. Where I wasn't sure what she said I put the words in parentheses.

And that's okay. I know that sometimes it is hard to transcribe a video perfectly. Even if it is in one's mother tongue.
