Chilly Day Out!

Hi friends! <3

After creating that spooky/Halloween themed coord last time, I was quite looking forward to a nice day out. However, it was pouring rain and very windy. I ended up delaying my plans until the next day instead. The weather was still chilly, but barely noticeable with all my layers. I went to the local mall which has a large antique store at one end along with a couple smaller vintage/collectables type stores. I collect Disney pins (especially Duffy and Shellie Mae ones) and wanted to see if there were some new ones to find for my collection. It's also just fun to wander around and see all the interesting items on display.

These tea cups and saucers were so pretty. I liked the one in the middle with the blue flowers...

And these adorable original Care Bears (from the 80's) <3

I also visited Duchess, the alligator. She is a rescue animal and the store has special permission to keep/display her for educational purposes. She has gotten a lot bigger since last time I was there... 

After the antique store, I passed by a toy store with these cute plushies called Squishables. I have the vanilla cupcake version at home. It is super soft and huggable. That cake slice one really tempted me though...

This pegasus was pretty awesome too!

The last store I went in was giving out free popcorn, which was a tasty, surprise treat. I didn't end up buying anything today, but I enjoyed my day out. It's been too long since I last frilled up. I may have to do this again sometime.

I made a few changes to the original coord; omitting the wrist cuffs, swapping the rocking horse style shoes for the shiny black ones, and adding a cloak.

Tora Con Day 2 & Haul!

Hi friends! <3

So, today was the last day of the con. We got up a little early to pack and check out, before heading over to the con. I was excited to get there for rehearsal since I was modeling in the fashion show.

There was a good representation of the various styles. Once everyone knew the plan and had done a few practice walks/poses, staff began letting people in. There was a nice sized crowd. After we each took our turn on the stage, audience members were allowed to ask us questions. Some of the ones we got asked were "What got you interested in lolita?" and "What is your dream dress and why?" It was fun!

 Then it was time for a final walk through of the vendor and artist alley area. I splurged on  a headdress I had been debating over as well as got a few more small things. But not too bad in the end.

Wore a gothic coord in navy x black x gold.

Haul

There was so many cool things for sale everywhere. Plushies, posters, hand made accessories, etc. It was kind of overwhelming. Needless to say I went a bit shop happy lol. But I think everything I got will be fairly useful.

Beasts Dragon Ring Opening!

Hi friends! <3

So, I actually got a second package today. I just thought it'd be better to do separate entries for them. This item was not on my wishlist but it should have been. It's a gothic style type ring.

Thoughts:

This ring is so cool! I love how ornate and detailed it is with the golden frame surrounding the dragon. There is a nice weight to it, and the ring band is adjustable. I've seen other rings by Voodooodolly before, but they all seemed to have fairly common designs (i.e. crosses, heart with a crown). I've never seen a dragon one before. I just had to get it when I saw it. I think it will go well with my gothic coords.
