I just received the Montreal boots that I ordered from Ling Lam. ^^
[Actually, they arrived on Tuesdayish, but I only just got to open them today since I was out of town.]

Here they are:

Silly Posing 2

There was a bit of an odd discoloration on the boots at the tongue, which came from the grommets. They're a bit rusty and left little red marks on the laces and shoe. It's no problem, though. They wiped right off without a mark and I'm going to seal the grommets later with a bit of clear coat to stop them from doing it again.

The boots are terribly comfy to walk and stand in [though I've only been in and out of them for maybe a half hour and a tour of my house] and very soft to the touch. I was surprised by this since the auctions make them look fairly stiff.

So cute! I was thinking of getting these boots in black as soon as my other ones arrived! How long did it take for yours to arrive?

I think I ordered them on July 31st, they were shipped on the 5th or 6th and they arrived on the 14th. So all in all, a two-week turn around from order to arrival. (:

I only got to open them today because I had them sent to the house I have up at school, rather than the house my parents own.

Such cute shoes! I want rocking horse shoes but only one pair. Would it be smarter to get them in black or white? I want to be more sweet/classic lolita...  

[boconnotto]

Depends on what colors you're going to wear? Sweet doesn't always mean white.
And I'd advise against getting rocking horse style boots. The shoes are fine, and in the photos I've seen the boots are cute sometimes, but generally they do strange things to the shape of your ankle. It's not terribly elegant and the leather puckers such that they look swollen. o_O;

For sweet lolita, white would generally be the most suitable, I would think. But it's not always the case.
...As for classical, it would really depend on what colors you prefer as to what color shoes you ought to wear. Though I personally don't care for rocking horse shoes as much with classical lolita as I do with other styles.

2 weeks! It's been a month since mine were shipped out! I'm soo writing a complaint to Ling Lam right now!

@Mina: For me since I do different styles I bought an all white pair for sweet: a black and white pair for Gusso, and I want to get an all black one for Kuro. It really all depends on your style really

I think I'll go with white RHS and white boots (those boconotto got are so cute, I might have to get me some) and those white/pink mary janes would be good. I might get an extra pair of white mary janes that I can airbrush lilac/purple, because I think purple looks really good on me so I'm going to make myself a nice lavender/lilac dress.

Psst, does anyone think there's a business in airbrushed loli stuff? I'm really skilled with an airbrush and it would be nice if I could make a little pocket money selling casual-loli stuff with stuff lightly airbrushed on. (I'll upload a picture of wings I did on the back of a shirt some time... plain white shirt, but the wings are nice)

You're the second person to say that. =/
I wonder if they just had mine on hand at the time that I ordered?

I'm not sure. I kept in contact with her through the whole process, so maybe she remembered me better. I e-mailed her with questions about the boots before ordering, made sure to e-mail her after I had paid asking about tracking, e-mailed her again when they had gotten to the house to let her know that the feedback would be delayed, and then sent a thank you after I'd opened and reviewed them. o_o;;

I'm ... kind of crazy when it comes to correspondence.

I am still amazed by the twenty pound package.
How long did it take to amass that before it was shipped?

I love the strawberry Angelic Pretty skirt!

 

[boconnotto]

Probably so, but oh well. The post office workers themselves are pretty nuts.

I envy your things Alice xd ! I want your shoes! You always find the nicest things! I ordered my BTSSb LP too late but I guess that makes up for my AP LP. Lol my postlady asks me everyday what I had bought when she brings me packages from my recent spree XD.
