Love Moon Princess OP Opening!

Hi friends! <3

Today I have a special opening to share with you. It's also another wishlist item. Yay :-) When I first saw this print, I wanted the jsk. But after looking at the measurements online, I went with the op instead. I posted a 'want to buy' in the hopes that someone would be willing to part with theirs. I lucked out and ended up getting the original release version for a decent price.

Thoughts:


The print is lovely in person! Stained glass panels and angels throughout. I'm not usually a fan of lighter colorways, but I really like how it looks on me. What I found interesting is that the ribbons on the sleeves are drawstrings. So you can adjust the size of the arm hole openings if needed. The bust fits decently with a bit of room to spare. Only thing is, is that the trim on the underbust sits a bit higher than it should for someone with a bigger bust size. BTSSB should have taken that into account when designing the dress and adjusted accordingly. Anywho, it's a beautiful dress and I hope to wear it sometime soon. Maybe for a big meetup or an upcoming anime convention.

UB Con 2018!

Hi friends!

I wasn't planning to go this year, but changed my mind last minute and decided to help out a friend with vending. The first two days were pretty busy so I went with comfy clothes. Opening night, I wore a kimono and the second day I wore a panda outfit. I did frill up for the last day though as things were more chill. It was interesting being on the other side of the table interacting with customers. I did some shopping as well and ended up with a bunch of cute things.

Sisters of Salazar- Super cute Mew and book pendants <3

MadMads- Beautiful Sailor Moon artwork.

Cromwell's Curiosity Shop- Lovely fairy hair clip.

Dark Matter- Elegant rose ring to go with my Moitie dresses ;-)

Other interesting booths:

Katydidart- Beautiful artwork inspired by Studio Ghibli and other anime series.

Star Cult- Detailed drawings inspired by anime.

Nix- Lovely fantasy artwork.

I went to a couple panels too. One was about the supernatural and cults in anime vs. real life. The other one was a Disney themed punk tea party. You could get a cup of hot tea and sip it while chatting with people and/or listening to punk music versions of Disney songs. The panel hosts were also dressed up as punk versions of the Disney princesses. It was nice :-)

Tried out a new tea flavor...

Waiting for it to steep...

Mmm... So good!

Tora Con: Day 2!

Hi friends! <3

So, today was the second (and last) day of the con. I went to more panels and prepared myself to walk in the lolita fashion show that a friend was running. Some of the comm members were in it too. It was great to see everyone and what coords they chose to wear. There was a decent sized crowd at the show too. I'd say it went well.

Tora Con: Day 1!

Hi friends! <3

This weekend is Tora Con and I'm super excited to go and see some friends I haven't seen in while. Last night I already picked up my badge once I had gotten checked into the hotel and dropped off my stuff. The mascots on the guide book cover look cute and the book itself is full of interesting panels and events. I'll definitely be trying to go to all the lolita ones ;-)

There were many booths to browse with numerous of items for sale. This one had a bunch of cute Kirby plushies...

Another had various figures. I loved this one, but that price though... :-(

I only ended up with a few things since I had just bought a lolita dress not too long ago.

Le'Petite Macaron- Cute ice cream necklace and parfait earrings. Perfect for wearing with lolita <3 

Lanaluu Illustrations- Adorable Eevee in a pink tea cup sticker. It has sparkles :-)

Other interesting booths:

Keeper of Ages: The Art of Michelle Gonzo- Beautiful fantasy artwork.

Rocking Horse Shoes Opening!

Hi friends! <3

I am super excited about this opening. I have been wanting a pair of rocking horse shoes for awhile now but didn't have any luck in finding them in my size/price range. I put them on my wishlist and hoped to find a pair someday. When I came across this pair for sale, I went for it.

Thoughts:

I was surprised when the shoes arrived in such a large box. The seller had told me ahead of time but wow. I guess that's all the post office had. The shoes are in beautiful shape. Although the color is a bit different from what I was expecting. Based on the stock pic, I thought they would be more of a brighter white color, but they are indeed off-white/ivory. That's fine with me as it will still match with my wardrobe. The bows are cute with sparkly silver heart shaped gems. The ankle straps are adjustable and snap together securely. With the cut-out area in the back, I was worried about being able to keep my balance and walk without falling. However, I didn't have any issues. I like how they make my legs look both longer and slimmer. I'm looking forward to wearing them with a coord soon. Perhaps at an upcoming con?
