Review of DC Women's Chalet Suede Action Sports Boots- Armor/White

I had the cutest pair of snow boots a year ago, only the seller stopped selling them online so I began a quest to find equally appealing snow boots for this upcoming winter season.

This was basically how I came across DC Women's Chalet Suede Action Sports Boots. They came in a bunch of different colors, but oddly enough anything outside of the white/armor color scheme asked for double the price, which I thought was ridiculous. However seeing that I liked the white and gray color combination, I decided to go ahead and get them for a low price of $49.50.

I placed my order in a size 8, and waited for them to hit my front porch.

The Quality:
 
Quality of the DC Women's Chalet Suede Action Sports Boots are definitely there. They are made of suede, and the DC logo on the outside of the boots are lined with semi sparkly rhinestone silver studs. It's just that added extra flair about the boots that initially made me buy them.

The suede you will want to protect by spraying suede protecting spray on them before wearing them out. I learned a hard lesson after scuffing the suede the second I wore them.

This of course has nothing to do with the quality of the boots, it was my own fault really.

Aside from that though, there is something off about the boots, and that is the sizing. I am normally a size 8.5 sneaker. I placed the order for a size 8, because I knew that boots tend to run a little larger. However the DC Women's Chalet Suede Action Sports Boots run almost a size and a half larger.

The inside boot with the faux fur trim is removable, so you can wear these boots without the fur lining. However if you take the liner out, the shoe is so large that it'll slip right off your foot. Now even with the lining inside of the boot they are still almost a half a size too large and it does not at all feel normal walking in.

The fix for this issue is that you could order a size smaller. If you are a size 8, order the size 7. However if you placed an order too late you could wear thicker socks for added traction, but even still it will not feel right.

Overall:
 
They are comfortable boots, and they are warm. The sizing is way, way off, but aside from that they are beautiful boots and I would highly recommend them.

White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor: Perfume Review

Oh Elizabeth, Elizabeth, what can I say, even for a Grandmother scent I am addicted to your scent White Diamonds. Sigh.

I’ll be honest and blunt with you; some nut job was selling your 3.4 oz bottle at a yard sale for a buck! Man what a steal! What a fool right?! Wouldn’t you say Elizabeth?

Now don’t get angry. I didn’t tell you to upset you, really you should be happy, because I have been buying it ever since. Her yard sale brought you a lifetime customer.

I want to say what drew me to your fragrance in the first place was your craft work on the bottle. When I was told I could have it for a dollar, I felt like the bottle itself was worth more.

I love how the bottle stands tall and proud, it towers above all of my other designer fragrances, and the small rhinestones that ring around my bottle was genius!

You must know every girl loves diamonds, and bravo for going for adding them to the look on your bottle.
Not only that but girls love gold too and you managed to throw in some gold on top right where the pump sits, and on the cap. I must say, lovely Elizabeth, just lovely.

Not only that it smells fantastic.
I will admit when I first tried it out, I immediately thought it smelled like an old lady’s perfume, but as time went by, I grew accustom of this scent, and grew to love it.

It reminds me of an elegant scent, something I would wear to a ball (if I ever were to go to one that is), a mix between musk and roses.
I enjoy it, and my, my, my does this perfume last. I can put it on in the morning and still smell it all over me at night.

I also want to say thank you for being so generous. Your perfume is not cheap, nor does it smell generic, but the prices are. I have found this online at sites for under $30 and sometimes less for smaller bottles.

Many designer perfume companies don’t even offer such a hefty sized bottle of perfume, and at 3.4 oz only under $30, it’s a bargain like no other.
Too many designer companies have gone greedy, and their scents don’t even linger for longer than an hour. You should be proud of that fact, and I hope you continue to offer discounts and fragrances at reasonable prices.

You say that your fragrance is a blend of a blend of lily, rose, amber, oak moss, and sandalwood. You have it marked correct, but mostly the scent of rose and musk sticks out for me. Like I have already said.
I really love how when I spray on that first sprit it doesn’t reek of alcohol; it just smells like pure concentrated perfume.

I also see that you have many other products available in the White Diamond scent line.

I really appreciate the miniature 1/8oz perfume sample. I like collecting perfume bottles, and was glad to see that I could add my favorite scent to my mini collection.
I see you also have lotion, powder, and body wash available as well, another one of my favorites.

I just wanted to let you know that I have been receiving compliments left and right each and every time I put on some White Diamonds.

I wanted to let you in on some 411 though. You may want to do something about that ghastly looking box you hide this gem in.
Seriously, you can just wrap it up in some clear wrap so people can see what they are buying. It’s pretty enough to pass on without a box, and you’re better off.
The box itself is nothing spectacular, and for marketing purposes you may want to work on that. It’s too plain. You put so much effort into the bottle, why stop there?

Other than that though, this fragrance is a 5 star product. I have no other complaints.

I have been recommending it to everyone and anyone who passes by and says ‘mmm what are you wearing?’

I of course send them your way Mrs.Taylor.
