It all started with BABY SF posting their Sale items on facebook & I fell in love with one particular item: Fragrant Rose Memories ring in matte silver ^_^ Seeing that it was on sale for an amazing price made it even more tempting to see if there were other items I could order...
Then, I came upon a beautiful coord with a burgundy dress & bonnet, which in my mind, I thought would match my most favorite brand skirt: Masquerade Theater in Red ^^
So, on fb, i commented asking how much the bonnet was...& luckily, it was on sale as well XD
Then, after thinking about it...probably for only a day...I emailed them using their order form here:
http://baby-aatp.blogspot.com/p/orders.html
I inquired about the availability of my items...& just to see if they could help me, I asked if the bonnet would match the MT print in red ;)
They replies RIGHT AWAY &...as luck would have it...one of their sales girls was wearing the MT print...in RED O_O They then continued to say that the bonnet I had in mind was a more purple color compared to MT...AND...that they went around the store looking for a bonnet that WOULD match....& then, they found it XD
Unfortunately, the bonnet they found was a newer item, so it was full price, but they sent me a link & it was sooo pretty ^_^ I replied saying that it was a beautiful bonnet & I always like their coords, so I trust their judgement...but...it would be great if I could see it WITH the print...just to see how well it matched....& they emailed me back...with a pic attached of the sales girl in her MT JSK in red, an ivory long-sleeve blouse & ivory bolero...WEARING the bonnet ^_^ (she was hiding her face though ;P ) But it looked PERFECT XD
And then, i had no more doubts...I HAD TO HAVE IT!! Especially after all that effort they went through to find something to match ;) I even showed my mom the picture & she agreed that I should get it b/c it matches perfecftly ^^
So, the next step was to order the items. Now, were are a bunch of my friends who were interested in the sale items, so I decided to open a GO! I still wanted to order everything quickly before the sale items sold out, but I managed to get one other friend to order with me, so we could split the shipping ^^
I inquired about the items my friend wanted & once we finalized our order, I emailed the store to have them invoice me. They invoiced me on the 25th(Tues), I paid the same day & then they SHIPPED IT OUT the same day!!! They emailed me back saying they invoiced me & gave me the tracking.
And...Today (28th), OUR ORDER ARRIVED!!!
Here are the pics...FINALLY ;D

Sent it a big sturdy box ^^
AATP bag ^^ I forgot my items were also Alice ;)
Inside was another plastic bag w/ a tissue paper wrapped bundle
And...after trying to be careful, but ripping up the tissue, i saw my bonnet...w/ a complimentary sticker inside ^_^
I had a minor panic when I couldn't find my ring, but after shaking the other items, i saw this small package...phew XD
And here they are: Spindel bonnet in Ivory
Lock the Pandora's Memories Vest in Red(my friend's one ^^) & Frgrant rose memories ring in matte silver ;D
A close-up of the ring, which is small, but extremely dainty & elegant ;)
Here's a quick timeline of the ordering process:
Sept 22: Started emailing & inquiring about items.
Sept 25: Finalized order, paid invoice, items shipped out.
Sept 28: Received items!!
Overall, I am SUPER SATISFIED with EVERYTHING about this order from the Excellent customer service (even on facebook) to the super fast shipping! I've ordered from the Japanese online store as well & really, it's one of the best Lolita services I have come across & I think I shall be ordering from the SF store even more now ^_^
Ah, last but not least...the whole reason for doing the order:
I'll take worn pics eventually, but here's some pictures to show how well it matches ^^
I'd also really love to do a post about all the coords I've made with this skirt since receiving it...It really is my absolute favorite print XD
