Passport Caribbean
Bacchanalist
I reviewed this item on 04/09/12

Product Description: Bacchanalist Definition T-shirt ... If you love bacchanal, love to fete, love Soca, to wine/wuk up, then the Bacchanalist t-shirt is for you.

Look: I tried on this top straight after I tried on the #teamsoca top and it made me decide on the order I was going to wear them at carnival. As the top was dark I did feel slightly hotter than carnival Sunday as it was sunny but it still did the same job. I was also able to promote the Passport Caribbean brand.

Feel: Flat design made it more comfortable as it wasn't itchy from the backing of threads. Very comfortable as the top was not tight and the material wasn't irritating when worn all day.

Packaging: This top came with my #teamsoca one so I still got the brown mesh bag.

Time to receive: It took approximately 2 weeks for the Passport Caribbean package to arrive but that was expected as the company is not based in the UK.

Passport Caribbean
#teamsoca
I reviewed this item on 28/08/12

Product Description: #teamsoca ... If you are on twitter and have ever tweeted for your love for this genre of music, this term will be familiar to you. We are just helping spread the word about sweet Soca music.

Look: What you see on the Passport Caribbean website is literally what you get. When I tried on the top a couple days before carnival I knew I was definitely going to wear it. I was happy to be wearing one of the best tops on the Passport Caribbean website for 2012 on carnival Sunday. One small downfall for me that it was slightly thin so you could see any patterned undergarments so a little advice is to wear plain not patterned undergarments. 

Feel: As the top was designed using print not embroidery it was flat and smooth. This was also an advantage at carnival as if anyone brushed past me quickly I didn't have the fear that they would get attached to the threads and it would detach.

Packaging: When ordering a Passport Caribbean item I was surprised to get a brown kind of mesh bag which I'm assuming is their version of our English carrier bags. I thought it was really inventive and creative. It's also a way of helping the environment in a way too as the bags can be reused for whatever you desire.

Time to receive: As Passport Caribbean is not based in the UK I didn't expect it to arrive quickly but I am glad that it arrived in time for carnival. It took approximately 2 weeks if I remember correctly.

Tights Please
Henry Holland Alphabet Tights
I reviewed this product on 08/07/2012  

Product Description: These are the famous Henry Holland Alphabet Tights. They have taken the world by storm and we are delighted to stock them for you.

Look: When I tried these tights on to review them they were lovely to look at in the packet and in photos. Surprisingly I loved looking down at my legs in the tights too and I didn't want to take them off! When observing these tights from top to bottom there was a darkened denier section at the top that look a bit like underwear. Not sure why though.

Feel: Comparing these tights to the other tights I have reviewed on the 01/07/2012 I prefer the feel of these. This could be simply due to the fact that they are thicker but I was still scared about ripping them. When trying the tights the Henry Holland letters are raised a little but that doesn't take away the beauty and comfort.

Packaging: Packaging was not damaged and made the tights look luxury before taking them out the box.

Time to receive: They arrived quicker than I thought, approximately 2 or 3 days.

Tights Please
I reviewed this product on 01/07/2012

Product Description: These unusual and quirky tights offer an intricately designed lace pattern up the calves, making these the perfect party tights. Team with any party outfit for a statement look. These gorgeous tights are an essential for this season.

Look: I love the look of these tights on the website and when I was wearing them. When I saw them packaged I was having second thoughts but looks definitely can be deceiving! I think that these tights are a definite must have for all your party outfits.

Feel: When rolling the tights up my leg I was a little cautious about ripping them or creating a ladder as I'm so used to wearing tights at about 40 or 50 denier but once they were on it just felt so smooth and like all my other tights.

Packaging: Slick packaging and it was not damaged.

Time to receive: They arrived extremely quick. I was so shocked as I was expecting to wait at least 5 days but I think they arrived in 2 or 3 if I remember correctly.
