I finally decided to sort out my accessories! Most of this was brought about by the fact that I have been buying way too many new accessories since I've been working at the local Mall. I have found a very bad habit.<br />

I found tutorials to turn old picture frames into accessories holders, which gave me the chance to be all creative and stuff since I haven't gotten the chance to be in ages.<br />

I am also a bracelet fiend. Stones and charms are a big thing for me, and pretty much anything with 'karma' on it-- and religious imagery, which is apparently really popular these days.<br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I am currently attempting to sell a few of my Lolita pieces. Unfortunately with the moving process and being so far from my old, amazing community, I just can't find the will to wear my Lolita stuff. I'm hoping to buy a few pieces later one once I've settled in and gotten a job, but until then I can't just let it sit around and collect dust.</span>

My first item for sale is this polka-dot tiered Angelic Pretty skirt in pink. It's gorgeous and really full, great for a fairy kei look, a full Lolita look, or even dressed down for a more casual coordinate. I've worn it only once-- to a conventiton and that was it. Selling it for $150 shipped within the United States.<br />

<br />
I also have this Dream of Lolita Sugary Carnival replica JSK + the matching headbow. Unfortunately I bought this replica a second time in hopes that the small would fit me better than the medium, but even the small is too long on my 5'0 frame. This picture is from DoL as the JSK is still in it's garment bag from the shipping process. JSK+headbow is $75 shipped within the United States.<br />

And finally this beautiful Innocent World JSK, this is the hardest piece to sell because I love the fit of it, but I don't wear it enough. It's $150 shipped within the United States.<br />

Every excuse to wear my new Litas! I wore them on a walk around Downtown Saratoga and was completely surprised by the lack of pain! I'm so used to be heels being the most painful decision I make, fashion-wise.<br />

<br />
I have moved once again! This time from Portland, Oregon to Saratoga Springs, New York. And in doing so I had to donate a lot of excess clothing and personal stuff. So I'm starting from scratch in nearly every aspect of my life!<br />
<br />
The road trip across the country was amazing-- but it went extremely quickly despite the fact that Shane and I were in the car for nearly 48 hours. We stopped only once, overnight in Iowa.<br />
<br />
It's so interesting on the East coast in comparison to the West, I discovered it the last time I visited my home in Pennsylvania about three years ago. The fashion culture seems to be less defined, and even-- in some cases-- a bit slower to come about over here on the East. Whenever 'scene' was a big fad [one I completely bought into] I garnered a lot of looks coming back here about four years ago with my big hair and raccoon eyes-- as if people had never seen it before.<br />
<br />
Now, I don't speak for every area on the East coast, I've not been to every city or even every state on this coast, but I am surprised to see no understanding of the word 'hipster' short of it's likeness to 'hippie'.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately because of my living in smaller towns and them not following current West-coast trends I seem to gather quite a few odd looks, less so in Saratoga than I did in Pennsylvania, however!<br />
<br />
But beyond my precarious fashion situation, since I saw my mom for the first time in three or so years, she decided to buy me a few things to replace my emptied wardrobe to make up for the birthdays and Christmases we've missed together.<br />
<br />
All in all, she spoiled me.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My first round of purchases [not including the bottom shorts]! Forever XXI and some other brand I am not sure of. The shorts though are older things I've had laying around that I'm finally getting more use out of.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
An H&M romper and dress! I am in love with the romper, it's the perfect material, soft and thin for summer, and it's the first romper that I've ever gotten that fits me! I am so pear shaped that most rompers are too small on the bottom.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5DhpZ3D5FHA/T9Q8E-L5oKI/AAAAAAAAAjU/ufjlohFVz4Y/s1600/Black3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5DhpZ3D5FHA/T9Q8E-L5oKI/AAAAAAAAAjU/ufjlohFVz4Y/s400/Black3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Another H&M dress and another romper by Guess! A bit of color for my suddenly monochrome wardrobe.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And a few other pieces, mostly thrifted and Kohl's-- I'm in love with the two vests!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UV6CwdjhyWs/T9Q8xSouErI/AAAAAAAAAjw/lDbBNtanhU4/s1600/Black6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="345" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UV6CwdjhyWs/T9Q8xSouErI/AAAAAAAAAjw/lDbBNtanhU4/s400/Black6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
This is a lot of mix stuff, I bought it when I was going through my attempt-at-hipster phase but it matches well to a lot of the darker stuff I just recently got-- which is great! I hate out-growing stylish items.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And then these babies, which make me want to die inside a little bit! My friend Johnson decided to randomly surprise me with them, the box showed up on my doorstep three days into moving into my new home. I about died. I just sat in the middle of the living room staring at the Jeffrey Campbell box in a mix of horror and excitement.<br />
<br />
I have a hard time coordinating them but I'm learning!<br />
<br />
And last but not least, my latest obsession:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ri4f08YkiZg/T9RAkv4tydI/AAAAAAAAAkE/xyZQDPlJxXA/s1600/picasion.com_6cdfd61468af05b5ed4ba69fc5f017d8.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ri4f08YkiZg/T9RAkv4tydI/AAAAAAAAAkE/xyZQDPlJxXA/s400/picasion.com_6cdfd61468af05b5ed4ba69fc5f017d8.gif" width="206" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stockings, thigh highs, and garter belts! I absolutely am in love with them. They combine my hate of showing my legs with my love of booty shorts. I love layering them, the more I can wear at once the better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The garters are all made by me, I was super excited to start doing a bit of sewing again even if garters are probably the most easy of items to make.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Maybe for my next post I'll try to include an OOTD and a tour of new home.</div>

<br />
I have spent my last week or so doing nothing but stabbing my fingers with needles and breaking nails on upholstery thread. All in the best fun though!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m2KIabZSb9s/TzeHxKULgpI/AAAAAAAAAhk/W4VLeQ4m89o/s1600/DSCN2503.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m2KIabZSb9s/TzeHxKULgpI/AAAAAAAAAhk/W4VLeQ4m89o/s640/DSCN2503.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
My first set of creations was these. I altered a few steps of my old fluffy star tutorial and started working with other shapes, as you can see here. Bats, bones, all of the cliche creepy-cute things that are the 'next big thing' in cute clothing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ejgCrOQbi_c/TzeHz2QKsaI/AAAAAAAAAhs/JlNiSwUMNzY/s1600/DSCN2515.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ejgCrOQbi_c/TzeHz2QKsaI/AAAAAAAAAhs/JlNiSwUMNzY/s320/DSCN2515.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
And then I made wrist cuffs. Which I am absolutely in love with. The local craft store has beautiful lace that I've been eying since I moved to Portland so I decided I absolutely needed to make myself some wrist cuffs!<br />
<br />
I want to make another pair with pink and white and star charms that I just bought to match some of my more crazy-sweet coordinates that I have planned in my head.<br />
<br />
And of course, a post like this wouldn't be complete with my latest, greatest creation, I'm extremely proud at how professional these turned out:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Foxtails! I am absolutely in love with them. From top to bottom I can't find a thing I'd change on their making and I'm really proud to have figured out a method to make them myself. The market isn't too large for pastel-colored fox tails, nor for ones that aren't overpriced.<br />
<br />

The picture of them flat doesn't completely do them justice, I think. So here's a few more.<br />

As with most of my creations they're all available for sale. The fuzzy brooches are about $8 a piece and the fox tails start at $13 dollars a piece, both of those prices include shipping within the United States.xJustAnotherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07597889826583630794noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291780717676424891.post-21521955831866856732012-02-02T11:45:00.000-08:002012-02-02T11:47:26.441-08:00Sugary Carnival and Pastel CraftsI received my first Lolita purchases in months this past week in the mail and I can't believe how excited I was.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I really, really missed collecting Lolita because to me, it's much more than a fashion, it really is a collection. Each coordinate is some sort of "match set" I have in my head that I need to collect the bits and pieces to.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
One of my first purchases once I started buying was a new pair of bloomers. When these popped up I was absolutely in love. They were only about $7 shipped and I couldn't pass up the deal. I do have a pair of bloomers that I made myself but they were mistakenly washed on the wrong cycle and now a bit more beaten up than they were before, haha!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My next purchase was this cardigan, which I got for $12. It's really cute and it fits well. It has a lot of pearl and frill detailing which makes it perfect for my more OTT looks.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I may take it in a bit at the bottom to detract from the 'box' shape, but I won't until I've tried it on with a jsk so I can be sure that tightening the bottom won't throw off the shape of a high-waisted dress.</div>

<br /></div>
I also got my hands on a Sugary Carnival replica. At first I wasn't sure about doing so and while I've heard both good and bad about the replicas, I really did hesitate before buying this one. It is a little long in the skirt but I was prepared for that, and being a replica I feel more at ease altering it to better fit my five-foot form. It really only means shortening the skirt by about an inch but it'll take a bit of work due to the zipper in the side.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is officially the first 'coordinate' I put together since I left Lolita and I am really happy that I held onto my DreamV cutsews, as the pastel pink is perfect with the jumper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
And, as always, with Lolita comes a great need for me to craft. I don't know why but I've always been a fan of making my own accessories whenever I can do so. So I made this foxtail after a bit of annoyance with my first try [the synthetic fibers of the first fox tail didn't take well to an attempt at dying it a pastel pink color and so I left this one white instead of attempting it a second time].<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EGy2TPsiqX4/Tyrk6Bjuz_I/AAAAAAAAAf8/AP0E33GvAl8/s1600/DSCN2478.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EGy2TPsiqX4/Tyrk6Bjuz_I/AAAAAAAAAf8/AP0E33GvAl8/s320/DSCN2478.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
And then there's my puffy stars, one of my most popular posts was my <a href="http://sweetsxholic.blogspot.com/2011/01/craft-tutorial-puffy-stars.html">Puffy Star Tutorial</a> and I have been wanting to revisit it, possibly tweak it, and work on making more puffy stars and brooches for my own fun, as well as possibly everyone else's.<br />
<br />

<br />
Not the best picture but here's the cardigan as well with the jsk. I really am pleased with this look, now I just need to finish my petticoat so I can try all of this on and see if it looks as good off the hanger!<br />

And I decided to dip-dye some fake fur and try my hand at making a fox tail, you get a weird picture of my feet and Cinamaroll with the fox tail. I think it came out cute even though the fibers aren't as smooth as the fur I should probably use instead.</div>

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sVvzbHt4ssA/TyE26Rk-R8I/AAAAAAAAAdc/IkFi18NmIIQ/s1600/Lolita+Evolution.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sVvzbHt4ssA/TyE26Rk-R8I/AAAAAAAAAdc/IkFi18NmIIQ/s640/Lolita+Evolution.png" width="592" /></a></div>
<br />
Out of curiosity I went through and searched out my previous Lolita looks, I wanted to see what kind of evolution my look has gone through since I started.<br />
<br />
Here's a rundown for you:<br />
<br />
2006 - My very first foray into the Lolita fashion, thankfully everyone was very kind towards my... look. The skirt is from Fan+Friend and the blouse was something I found somewhere. I honestly can't remember much regarding the outfit itself, but the items I got were from my mother for my birthday. I am not sure where the skirt went, but I still have the rocking horse shoes!<br />
<br />
<br />
04/2010 - I'm kind of disappointed in this look, four years later and there's still so much wrong with this outfit. I still didn't understand standard make-up and the wig could use a lot better of a style. I hosted a meet-up though and the local Lolitas were extremely sweet and kind to me. Also I slumped a lot.<br />
<br />
Outfit Rundown: Baby, The Stars Shine Bright Blouse, Angelic Pretty Cherry Berry Bunny Skirt, Socks, and Headbow. An*Tai*Na ruffle rocking horse shoes, Sanrio Hello Kitty bag and BtSSB Usakumya, Cyperous wig.<br />
<br />
<br />
09/2010 - This one isn't too fair for me to put, I brought my Lolita stuff to an Anime convention I was primarily cosplaying at and found myself roped into wearing my Lolita but then discovered I'd forgotten my wig and my petticoats. I knew more about the fundamentals of Lolita but really couldn't practice them in the position I was in. The make-up was good but the wig was awful.<br />
<br />
Outfit Rundown: Baby, The Stars Shine Bright The Longest Name JSK, BtSSB Blouse, Angelic Pretty Cherry Berry Bunny Headbow, Secret Shop Socks, and An*Tai*Na ruffle rocking horse shoes.<br />
<br />
<br />
11/2010 - One of my favorite looks, I will always regret selling my Black Jewelry Jelly OP set, it was truly my favorite. I've learned some of the basics of wigs and accessorizing. I also learned the beauty of petticoats!<br />
<br />
Outfit Rundown: Angelic Pretty Jewelry Jelly OP, mint Socks, and Headbow. Chocomint and handmade accessories, An*Tai*Na ruffle rocking horse shoes, eBay wig.<br />
<br />
<br />
03/2011 - My entry into the Gothic Lolita Wigs contest at the time, I'm definitely more proud of my entire look by this point and feel more comfortable in it. I think the confidence shows, haha.<br />
<br />
Outfit Rundown: Anna House Blouse, Angelic Pretty Miracle Candy skirt and bow, Secret Shop socks and bag, Secret Shop Baby, The Stars Shine Bright replica shoes, Chocomint and handmade accessories, Gothic Lolita Wigs split wig.<br />
<br />
<br />
04/2011 - My outfit for the Sakuracon Lolita Fashion Show, an outfit I was pretty proud of, though professional photography minus the professional touch-ups can be slightly unforgiving.<br />
<br />
Outfit Rundown: Angelic Pretty Dreaming Macaron Headbow and Skirt, DreamV Cutsew, Angelic Pretty pink striped Crown socks, Secret Shop Baby, The Stars Shine Bright replica shoes, Chocomint and handmade accessories, Gothic Lolita Wigs hime wig.<br />
<br />
<br />
07/2011 - I've gotten better at make-up, contacts, and eyelashes. More involved in coordinating everything down to my nail polish and happier in Lolita than I've ever been. My wig styling abilities have gotten better, as this is the wig from my second picture.<br />
<br />
Outfit Rundown: Angelic Pretty Embroidered Cutsew, Angelic Pretty Dreamy Dollhouse Skirt and Bow, Angelic Pretty pink striped Crown socks, Secret Shop Lavender Tea Party shoes, Cyperous wig, Cinnamoroll bag, accessories are Chocomint, handmade, and 6% Dokidoki.xJustAnotherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07597889826583630794noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291780717676424891.post-32485479362376643532012-01-26T00:38:00.000-08:002012-01-26T00:38:27.197-08:00Sales + Lolifying EverythingSo in the past few days I've been attempting to reestablish some of my Lolita wardrobe, surprisingly enough despite my selling spree I still have quite a few accessories, a million socks, and three pairs of shoes. I'm extremely happy to see this.<br />
<br />
I'm currently looking at the replicas available for Milky Planet and Sugary Carnival as I'm in love with the prints but I know without quite a bit of saving I could never manage to purchase the real prints.<br />

These two are the ones I'm currently interested in and I've had offered to me. I'm waiting on the responses from both of the sales people.<br />
<br />
My boyfriend also took pity on my desperate need for a hobby and bought me a sewing machine.<br />

It's adorable, it's only 17 stitches but it's the basics that I need to play around with while I become more comfortable with my sewing skills. I'm looking forwards to playing around with my tote of materials and my new sewing machine. I absolutely love it and my boyfriend.</div>

Beyond all of that I'm looking to sell a jumper by Super Lovers. I originally bought it for Fairy Kei and just cannot seem to be comfortable in it because it's too long in the torso on me. I'm 5'0 tall so almost everything tends to be too long on me when it comes to rompers, jumpers, and bodysuits.</div>

It's been worn by me once, shows no wear or tear what so ever. It's adorable but I just can't wear it.<br />

<br />
I'd say it's a size Medium, stretchy, has adorable fuzzy heart pockets and a bear-ear hood. I'm looking to sell it for $60 shipped in the United States.<br />
<br />
I'm really excited to build up my wardrobe, and now that I have a sewing machine I'll be able to make myself petticoats! That's going to be my next big sewing project, I just need to hit Fabric Depot tomorrow to do so.xJustAnotherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07597889826583630794noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291780717676424891.post-61130219196231751722012-01-22T01:41:00.000-08:002012-01-22T01:41:11.619-08:00Re-establishing one's self as a Lolita.About six months ago I made the decision due to some financial hardships to start parting with Lolita wardrobe. Unfortunately from that moment on it was a downward slide into finally picking clean the bare-bones of my old wardrobe and I didn't once regret it.<br />
<br />
Until now.<br />
<br />
Lolita used to be a big part of my life, I inspired a few people into becoming Lolitas themselves and building wardrobes and I loved wearing the clothing and being completely done up. I hit a time when I decided I didn't love doing that anymore and I needed the money more than anything so I stopped.<br />
<br />
But as I think about moving to New York and watch the friends I've made through Lolita continue on with their meet-ups here in Portland and think of how I will miss them. These are all people I met through Lolita and I think it's an amazing door-way into making more friends upon moving.<br />
<br />
That and I miss the fashion desperately the more I allow myself to think about it.<br />
<br />
Granted, in my sales downward slide I have realized that to rebuild my wardrobe I'd have to buy a few key pieces I thought I'd never part with and of course make a few big purchases.<br />
<br />
I'm in need of petticoats, a plain white blouse, I have a million socks and shoes still, but my accessories have dwindled. And I also need to get myself jsks, ops, and skirts. I guess this is the official start of my 'rebirth' into Lolita, as Shay put it.<br />

Outfit of the Day for a rainy day out.<br />
<br />
Scarf is H&M, skirt is Max Rave, leg warmers are handmade, and purse is Vintage.<br />
<br />
Just a quick run out to get the makings for Baked stuffed Salmon that I'm making for dinner tonight.xJustAnotherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07597889826583630794noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291780717676424891.post-73698111141952240502012-01-20T02:16:00.000-08:002012-01-20T02:16:02.209-08:00Gyaru Make-up AttemptI have to admit that when I slowly filtered my way out of looks like Fairy Kei and Lolita, I started paying more attention to other Asia-based fashions like Mori and of course Gyaru, though it's almost a little funny emulating a Gyaru look when it's a lot more 'grown-up' than my normal fashion sense normally.<br />
<br />
After a lot of YouTube tutorials and more than a few hours being horrified [and a bit amused] over Gyaru_Secrets based on Livejournal, I decided to take a shot at Gyaru make-up myself.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bOAwQoCa0as/Txk9v3XN6JI/AAAAAAAAAcM/bLqbaKHEHwc/s1600/DSCN2211.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bOAwQoCa0as/Txk9v3XN6JI/AAAAAAAAAcM/bLqbaKHEHwc/s400/DSCN2211.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Honestly, I'll admit that a lot of the standard look borrows heavily from the 'Lolita make-up', but I really find the make-up very cute.<br />
<br />
That and I absolutely love any excuse to wear my Cyperous wig, it's my baby and it's been in my possession for over two years now.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As for the style I was kind of at a loss as to what I could emulate. The shirt is from an Asian brand that I purchased long ago, the skirt is a simple black pleated number, and the heels are from Brash.<br />
<br />
I'm aware that I can't really claim that it's "Gyaru", it's definitely more inspired-by but it would take a lot more work before I could be pleased with a "Gyaru" look.xJustAnotherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07597889826583630794noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291780717676424891.post-46082552482333046792012-01-19T22:06:00.001-08:002012-01-19T22:10:07.624-08:00Outfit of the Day<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript">

The sweater is my boyfriend's, a Christmas gift I got for him from H&M, shirt is a band t-shirt for Paramore, tights from Mossimo, and the boots from Charlotte Russe.<br />

It's what I spent my day cooking in!

Makeup Purchase Review + Outfit of the DayBeing a lover of all things decent and cheap, I've been in love with the elf makeup brand since discovering it at a local Target. Whenever I finally remembered my intention to check the online site I fell in love.<br />
<br />
After 40 dollars, including shipping, and a seven day shipping time my package arrived today.<br />

I purchased a twelve piece brush set, I already owned two of the brushes I purchased but one of them has been destroyed by liquid latex thanks to Halloween and the other is one of my favorite brushes. The set was a twelve dollar set, a dollar a brush which is the elf standard.<br />
<br />

And as an extremely awesome perk from elf, I received this eyeshadow palette for free for spending over 25 dollars on my purchase. It's an absolutely great deal, especially due to the fact that I was buying individual colors before this offer came up, I spent less removing those individual colors and getting the free palette.<br />
<br />
All in all I'm extremely happy, the brushes I have thus far opened are soft and perfect for their individual uses, the lip gloss is moisturizing and lightly tinted, and the liquid eyeliners are nice but take a bit more a steady hand than I had at the moment. I am completely happy with my purchase and my gifts, and signing up for the elf alerts has gotten me a few more free presents and an abundance of sales codes that I'm excited to eventually use!<br />

Another, more casual look for a day out with my friends. The only brands I know of for this outfit are the black thigh-high socks from <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/">SockDreams</a>, a brand I am in love with.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0m-LOhYvLB8/TxaMMTd7IzI/AAAAAAAAAa4/LF0l4Htwbvw/s1600/397890_2729447868811_1035640169_2691942_62550929_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0m-LOhYvLB8/TxaMMTd7IzI/AAAAAAAAAa4/LF0l4Htwbvw/s1600/397890_2729447868811_1035640169_2691942_62550929_n.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
And last but not least a more vintage look for a night out on the town. Tights are Vera Wang, the heels are by Brash, the shorts from Papaya, and the waist belt is from Romy.<br />
<br />
I promise to keep up with my updates a bit more as I'm currently in the market for a job and have a lot of time on my hands. I should be receiving a decently large package from E.L.F here shortly that I'll be reviewing!<br />

New outfits make my day [or my night]. I haven't slept yet but I figured I'd have a bit of fun dressing up before doing so.<br />

A little superfluous maybe.<br />

Skirt is a dark purple number with a bow on the front that is damned near impossible to catch on my camera, I got it at Forever 21.<br />
<br />
Blouse is from my workplace.<br />
<br />
My heels are my standard Rocket Dog wedges which I absolutely love.<br />

Fairy Kei! I have to admit that when I signed up in the contest for HolleyTeaTime.com's model search I wasn't really as deep into Lolita and Fairy-kei as I had been in the past. I have sold so much of my Lolita stuff that I knew I couldn't possibly get a position as strictly a Lolita model, but she was also looking for Fairy-kei models!<br />
<br />
I was super excited to get an email saying that I'd made the cut and would be receiving items in the mail!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eEZfRcFj23U/TsxZwUnDt1I/AAAAAAAAAX0/walgcpH4HGI/s1600/DSCN1314.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eEZfRcFj23U/TsxZwUnDt1I/AAAAAAAAAX0/walgcpH4HGI/s320/DSCN1314.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
I'm really in love with the items she sent me. This Carousel necklace being one of them. The necklace is made of thick plastic and the horse itself is extremely detailed for such a small piece!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HoW1wz3Q_OE/TsxZw5FdNNI/AAAAAAAAAX8/YHtCQx41OGo/s1600/DSCN1328.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HoW1wz3Q_OE/TsxZw5FdNNI/AAAAAAAAAX8/YHtCQx41OGo/s320/DSCN1328.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
I also received this Panda ring, a lavender whipped cream dollop ring, and a pink whipped cream dollop ring. The Panda is made of the same sturdy plastic and attached to an adjustable ring base. It's absolutely brilliant and I'm not worried about accidentally snagging it on something and breaking it.<br />
<br />
The whipped cream is NOT made of silicone as I've seen other sellers' rings to be made of and I'm very happy for this as the ring doesn't attract dust like silicone does.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uvnEtpEHqSA/TsxZzFaL5vI/AAAAAAAAAYE/_jzcujbKh6M/s1600/DSCN1463.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uvnEtpEHqSA/TsxZzFaL5vI/AAAAAAAAAYE/_jzcujbKh6M/s320/DSCN1463.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
So I happily traipsed around the house in my fairy kei outfit and took a ton of pictures of Holley's stuff. It's all so gorgeous!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GIsRaSpVTIU/TsxbIc8tngI/AAAAAAAAAYc/CFDVccyydiA/s1600/DSCN1447.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GIsRaSpVTIU/TsxbIc8tngI/AAAAAAAAAYc/CFDVccyydiA/s320/DSCN1447.JPG" width="193" /></a></div>
The shirt is by HolleyTeaTime, it's absolutely gorgeous and vibrant and the shirt itself is super soft, stretchy, and long! Accessories are by: Angelic Pretty, Chocomint, HolleyTeaTime, and Bodyline :D<br />
<br />
I'm really in love with the stuff I received and hoping to use this as a quick slide back into the Fairy Kei fashion! I'm hoping to use my blog for more fashion-related posts, however I don't think I'm going to try to stick to one simple fashion. I'm just too all over the place for it!<br />

You don't get much for this evening because I spent most of the day recovering my computer but now that it seems to be up and properly running I should be able to make better, more detail oriented posts next time!xJustAnotherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07597889826583630794noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291780717676424891.post-59759457133230299062011-09-29T00:04:00.000-07:002011-09-29T00:04:03.077-07:00Minimum complexity of a chaotic system.Looking back I know I hoped that moving to Portland would open up so many different chances to wear Lolita fashion, and it did, but I've failed to grasp them.<div><br />
</div><div>I love Lolita, I love the ruffles and lace and the rules and regulations but in living here, quite comfortably now, I can't get myself to get into my Lolita closet and dig out a coordinate to wear for the day. And that was my intention! I bulked up my wardrobe simply for the move and now I haven't worn it in months.</div><div><br />
</div><div>So I've decided to slowly sell it off and work on buying things that I've sacrificed to get the expensive name-brand things I loved. Starting with a new, updated wardrobe. The current status of my wardrobe is degraded, 7th grade tshirts mixed with a few Goodwill-purchased work-appropriate outfits. I made this decision in the same time-frame as my birthday and as a gift to myself, I started off re-vamping my wardrobe with the intention of selling off my Lolita.</div><div><br />
</div><div>And I am, and I'm relieved and happy and enjoying the ability to look at clothing at my local stores without feeling guilty over the thought that that twenty dollar shirt could be a pair of brand socks for my next coordinate.</div><div><br />
</div><div>If you're still following this blog for the Lolita, I apologize but there won't be much of that anymore, however I do plan on [also] re-vamping my blog into just a standard everyday life/fashion blog. Because I'm still learning and experimenting... just not with lace and frills.</div>xJustAnotherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07597889826583630794noreply@blogger.com0
