First Angelic Pretty Dress!


Holy crap I'm so bad at keeping up with things. I mean I haven't bought too many things that are worthy of a review, but this week I purchased my first brand Lolita dress and I couldn't be more happier with it.


I bought my first Angelic Pretty dress! I was browsing around on Lace Market and then I came across the Cosmic JSK in Ivory, it was listed along with the OTKs and I was so happy to see that it was up for sale. It was brand new with tags, only tried on over a blouse. I also got the hair scrunchie too for another $10, which I thought was a good deal since it retails at like what, $25? It's actually pretty funny how this just happened randomly cause back when the print was released, I was debating on staying home to try to order it, or I could go to my first Lolita meet. I decided to goto the Lolita meet (and I had a blast) Little did I know months later I would find it online for sale.



Here's some pictures, please excuse the tag being on the dress while I was wearing it, I wanted to make sure it fit before I ripped the tags off.


















I'll take proper pictures of the whole coord when I put on makeup and such. Overall I'm so estatic about this dress and I couldn't be more happier with it. It kinda hurt me to drop that much money down on just a dress, but it was definitely worth it. I can't wait to wear it again (Christmas for sure)

Spreepicky Review!

Oh my gosh it's been 4 months since I've posted a review, I've been so busy!! I had Otakon last weekend and it was a total blast, met some cuties (i.e mahouprince) and made new friends from the Persona photo-shoot!! I wore both of my Lolita dresses and my Risette cosplay! Can't wait to be back at Otakon again next year; but to get back on topic, I have a review!

This review is my first review for Spreepicky, but it's the second time I've ordered from them! For those who don't know what Spreepicky is, they're a store on storeenvy that sells all kinds of cute clothing, accessories, shoes, pretty much everything you can think of! They're basically a shopping service for Taobao from what I've gathered, making it way easier to purchase things that you'd see on Taobao without the hassle of going through a shopping service! They always give excellent customer service and I've never had any problems with everything I've bought from them (aside from sizing problems, but that can be with any clothing store you buy from)

Okay now onto the review!


I bought two items from this haul, a lolita heart shaped bag and my first seifuku!


Seifuku

 This seifuku comes in so many different colors! Here are some photos straight from the listing:

I got my seifuku in navy blue; the wrapping is always really nice which gives it a super cute plus to it!
Awkward selfies yay! So the material is pretty nice for only getting this at the low price of $19.99! The shirt is stretchy, while the skirt isn't. I bought this in a size M I believe? I can't remember exactly, either M or XL. But they are telling the truth when they say to look at the sizing numbers carefully!! A medium is more like a small, etc. I would definitely recommend going a size higher then what your measurements would be listed, so you don't have to worry about it not fitting properly. I have pretty wide hips, so I had to squeeze a bit for the skirt to get over my bum. I have a smaller waist, so I do have to wear the skirt a bit higher then my belly button is (like I said this is my first seifuku, so i'm not entirely sure if you're supposed to wear it that high or not - let me know!) I absolutely love this seifuku and will definitely plan on ordering more, in a bigger size.

If you'd like to order this in their "plus-size" here are the links!

Overall, I give this seifuku a 4/5 stars!

Lolita Heart Purse

The heart purse also comes in different colors! Here are the photos from the listing
 

I got my purse in white, since it'll be more universal with my Lolita dresses, or even my everyday wear!


There was tons of bubble wrap and bubbles inside of the purse so it wouldn't get smushed on it's long journey to the United States!
length/23cm, height/20cm, thickness/8cm




The straps can be made super long so you can cross it over your torso, or it could be hung from one arm. For my purposes, it'll be a cross bag. This bag was a bit pricey for me at $45.00, but was cheaper then buying a brand bag. The PU leather is a really nice quality, I'm excited to get my use out of this bag!

I give this bag 5/5 stars!


Spreepicky is also notorious for sending thank you cards, which I think gives it a really personal touch when you buy from the store! I'm so happy with my things I purchased and I will definitely be buying from them again!

Gothic Lolita Wigs review - Duchess Elodie

Finally! A new review! I decided to do my review on GothicLolitaWigs since I wore my Duchess Elodie wig yesterday for Easter. I've had these wigs for a few months and I absolutely adore them. They're the highest quality wigs that I've acquired since I started collecting wigs. The best part is, they're totally affordable! I've seen some really expensive wigs that I've been eyeing up, but I don't want to drop the money on it, GothicLolitaWigs are super duper cute and I love their prices. I can't wait to order more from their site, with that being said I did just order another wig today from them, and when I get that wig in the mail I will for sure do a review on it! Okay enough rambling, let's get started ^o^

The first wig that i'm going to review is the Duchess Elodie Collection wig~ I chose mine in the burgundy color, cause i'm absolutely in love with the lush color. It goes great with my skin-tone and I think overall it just makes me look more appealing. 



Those are some pictures from their site, now onto my pictures! Each of the wigs, no matter what style you get, have wig clips already inserted into the wigs, so no time consuming sewing is needed which is a nice and useful touch to these wigs. 




After a few wears, and this being my first curly wig, the curls did get a bit tangled and I tried my best to untangle them. With no luck, I decided to go another route with the wig and wash it. After I had washed it and let it air dry all day, and brushed it for a few hours, I got a nice and still wavy looking curled wig. The more I wear it, the more I notice the curls coming back. So even after my noob wig skills this wig is still one of my favorites, despite my problems that I've had with it. Within time i'll learn to tame the curls with future wigs.

Happy Easter Bunnies!

Happy Easter everyone! Since it was Easter, I thought wearing something kawaii would totally be appropriate. Thanks to ordering from Spreepicky, I was able to snag this princess dress I was eyeing for months on end. Decided to wear it with my Gothic Lolita Wigs Burgundy Dutchess Elodie wig, with shoes from Bodyline and I got tons of compliments! I'll post a review of the items later, I know I keep saying i'll get around to it, but i swear i will! Now here's a little spam of some selfies~

TriforceInk review!

Hey all! Haven't posted in a few days or something, but tonight I had some free time so I thought, "hey why not post a few reviews!?" In this post, i'm going to be reviewing a photo frame I bought from TriforceInk on Etsy. 



I was thinking to have the photoframe done vertically, but the landscape looks nice as well. It's super cute and the beads were glued on perfectly. The frame is a 5x7, and when I printed out a picture of me and my boyfriend it was a bit too small, it might of been my printer. Either way, you could put a piece of white paper as the background so the brown doesn't show. Or you could just resize the photo you want in it I guess. Either way, it was totally worth the money and I'm so happy.

Price: $12.50
Shipping: USA $5.95 (3-5 days)
