Comparing it with the jsk...

Thoughts:

I like the headbow but would still prefer the original version. This one is made out of polyester instead of cotton. The green is slightly more blue-ish when compared to the jsk. You can't really tell from a distance though. I also noticed that the bow itself is more flat and upright when wearing rather than slightly oversized and at a more relaxed angle. I'm going to keep this one for now and continue looking for the other one.

Winter Festival Coord!

 Hi friends! <3

It seems like forever since I last frilled up! The weather is so cold and chilly now, but I wasn't going to let that stop me today. I went to a winter festival with a neighbor friend to check out some local craft vendors.

I picked up this ceramic angel ornament, and a glittery resin skull keychain...

Wore a semi-casual sweet style in lavender x ivory x gold.

Bloomers Opening!

 Hi friends! <3

I had been looking for some black bloomers that were long length. I got this pair recently.

Lace/trim details...

While I was looking them over, I noticed a couple issues. There was a small section where the stitching had come undone...

And the waistband elastic looked to be twisted...

Thoughts:

I really like these bloomers. They are soft cotton and the length is good for under longer dresses. The small issues I noticed earlier can be fixed. However, the fit is very loose on me. I can try to tighten up the elastic on the waistband, but I think they would best be suited to someone with a bigger build. I will hold onto these and keep looking for another pair in the meantime.

Bishop Ring Opening (Round Two)!

 Hi friends! <3

I saw a special version of the bishop ring up for sale and it immediately caught my eye. I just had to have it.

Thoughts:

I love this ring! The gold is so pretty, and the sparkles make it even more extra. I think it would go well with the black version of Divine Cross, or maybe a stained glass print dress.

November Sip Down Progress!

 Hi friends! <3

Sipping down again...

*Sorry not much for pics here. I've been drinking tea at work almost every day while I'm at my desk. I prefer to keep my phone tucked away so I'm not distracted.*

In November, I had some pre-made teas, finished up Republic of Tea cinnamon plum, a couple samples, and continued with Harney & Son's pumpkin spice. The Arizona green tea is my favorite :-)

I made a small order with David's Tea. Cashed in a reward that was expiring for the Cinnamon oolong. The Bahama mama one was on sale. Both are new to me...

I did a holiday swap with someone in a tea group and got a nice variety of teas in return...

Along with this tea ware...
