Shoe Rack Opening!

 Hi friends! <3

Just a quick entry this time. I'm so excited to have found a shoe rack for my lolita shoes! I kept thinking it would be nice to have one, but never got any further. I decided since I had all this extra time being home, now would be a good time to start my search. I went with this 6 tier metal one from amazon. It was fairly affordable and had room for all my shoes plus a few extra. Or maybe some storage space for my accessory boxes on top.

It came in a box all in pieces...



After checking everything was there, I started putting it together. It was a bit tricky at first. Here's how it looks completed. It's fairly sturdy and lightweight.



Then, I added my shoes. I went in order from light to dark, so I can find things easily. I used the extra space at the top for my usakumyas :-)

Thoughts:

I was surprised I actually ended up with this. I had found someone selling it as part of a set and contacted them about possibly selling the ring separately. They agreed and we worked things out from there. It is a bit scuffed and scratched, but not bad considering how good the price was. Everything was packaged up so well too.

5 Surprise Finds That You Didn't Realize You Would Enjoy So Much...

Hi friends! <3




Triple Fortune Bonnet- I always thought bonnets looked nice on others, but weren't suited for me. I had tried out two half bonnets that came with jsk sets, but disliked the look and sold them off. Then I came across this one at the Triple Fortune booth at Ruffle Con. I loved how beautiful it was. The light colors are great for both sweet and classic looks. I feel like a princess whenever I wear it to fancy events.




Metamorphose "Tulle Lace Princess" Headdress- I tend to wear headbows most of the time with my coords. I saw some people wearing rectangular/flat headdresses in their old school coord posts and wanted to try one out. I picked this up for fairly cheap and love it so much! The lace and trim details are so pretty <3 It has a bit of a cushion underneath too, so it sits up on your head nicely. The beads sway and make a pleasant rattling noise when you move your head to the side.




Bodyline "Shoes515"- Going along with the old school style, I also wanted to try out a a pair of rocking horse shoes. I have this pair from Bodyline. I feel somewhat awkward wearing them as I'm already tall, but am getting used to it. I think they look really cool.




Handmade Wrist Cuffs- I usually wear bracelets and thought wrist cuffs were sort of weird. A friend gifted me a pair they had made and I discovered how much I liked them. They are super cute, match with a lot of my coords, and can change up my look in just a few minutes.




Moi Meme Moitie "Stained Glass Chiffon" Jsk- Although I am mainly a sweet lolita, I am also fond of gothic style. This jsk is gorgeous and lets me express my darker, elegant side.




I hope you enjoyed this post! :-)

Stripe Ribbon & Lace-up Ribbon Otks Opening!

Hi friends! <3

I had another kind person offer me an item from my Wishlist along with a couple other items. Thought I'd share the opening with you.

Thoughts:


I am happy to have acquired a pair of yellow otks. I feel more encouraged to include yellow in my coords. The other two pairs were an unexpected addition to my purchase. However, they will be useful. I'm still not sure how to tie the ribbon on the Moitie ones, but I figured out something that will work for now. The ribbon is more purple than blue which will make coording a challenge in the future.

Snack Time: Birthday Cake Magical Easter Unicorn!

Hi friends! <3

It's been awhile since the last Snack Time series entry. Let's get back into that, shall we?

Starting with this...


About $2.50 (on sale)- Palmer Birthday Cake Magical Easter Unicorn- USA



Let's open it up...


Fun photo prop things included...


The unicorn!



Nom...


Inside...


Tucked the rest back in the box for later ;-)



Thoughts:


I was excited to find this on sale as I like both white chocolate and birthday cake. The brightly colored packaging caught my eye as did the cute unicorn sitting inside. It is hollow with sprinkles embedded right in the chocolate. This makes for a slight crunch when eating it. The eyes are candy bits while the chocolate itself is sweet like vanilla frosting. Very sweet. I like sweet things, but this made my teeth ache after a few bites. I liked it, but may or may not get this again due to that strong sweetness factor. Otherwise a good deal for the price.
