Noble Wrist Cuffs Opening!

Hi friends! <3

I was browsing Lacemarket the other day and saw that they were having a special event going on for Black Friday. Select listings had extra lowered 'starting bid' and/or 'buy it now' prices. There were quite a few deals, so I took the opportunity to get a few accessories I had my eye on. The first item showed up today; a pair of wrist cuffs.

Thoughts:


The lace is lovely and the buttons are good quality. I was worried when I noticed that the ribbon ends appeared to have been cut off and left unsealed. When I looked the wrist cuffs up on lolibrary it showed them the same way. I guess they're supposed to be like that. I might just seal the ends myself so it doesn't unravel or catch on anything. The color is a bit darker than I thought too. More of a dark chocolate than a milk chocolate. I originally wanted them to go with my Chocolate Rosette set. I think they will be fine though as it has a few different shades of browns. I'm looking forward to wearing it sometime soon! :-)

Thoughts:


I love these earrings! <3 The design is simple yet elegant. The beads are of good quality (Swarovski crystals I believe) with a basic silver colored metal cross charm at the bottom. I always thought how nice it would be to have some Moitie jewelry to go with my Moitie dresses, but never expected to actually find something at a such a reasonable price. My boyfriend came across the listing for them online and I just had to get them. I can't wait to wear them soon!

Holy Lantern Opening! (Round Three)

Hi friends! <3

So... I kinda went ahead and did the made to order for Holy Lantern again. My package arrived and I'm going to go ahead and open it up. This time I got the zipper style jsk and matching otks in navy. I think the only color left I'm after is pink. Maybe it will be an option next time :-)

Thoughts:


I love this print! <3 The jsk is super comfy and looks just like the wine colored one I have (but in a different color of course). The navy color for this style jsk was a new thing and there was no sample image showing online when I ordered. I was unsure what color the zipper would be; silver or gold.  It ended up having gold zippers. Either one is fine with me. I'm hoping the otks can match with one of my Moitie dresses as well. Looking forward to wearing it sometime soon :-)

OP...



Thoughts:


The goodie bag was nice, although I was kinda hoping for some larger/useful items such as wrist cuffs or a pair of otks. It also did include a tea party ticket which is mainly why I went with the deluxe pass. I didn't end up with much from the consignment room this year. Despite multiple visits, there just wasn't much to interest me. Which is good sometimes I guess. Most of my spending happened in the vendor room. Sweet Mildred drew me in with their lacy headbands and veils. Metamorphose had a bunch of items on sale. And Triple Fortune beckoned with gorgeous bonnets and clothing. I'm excited to start coording everything soon! :-)
