Victorian Mourning Tours Meet

Yesterday I attended my first meetup in a while. It was at the Heritage Square Museam, which is a little place off of the Pasadena Freeway with old Victorian Houses.  My boyfriend even came with me at the last minute, which was really nice of him!

There wasn't really a theme for the meetup, but since it was a meet geared towards victorian death etiquette I wore the only black brand I have.

I wore it in the sax version, so  I wouldn't have to plod around in my stupid blue RHS. I need to get rid of those!

Heres a shot of the group. My boyfriend was kind enough to take multiple pictures of us using everyones cameras, he was so patient!
  

Here are some photos my boyfriend took of the event:

We attended a mock funeral:



 

All in all, I had a pretty good time, and learned some pretty interesting things. It was definitely quite the experience!

AP Purchases

After I bought my Tokimeki ring, I decided to collect Tokimeki instead of Aurora. Tokimeki things are a lot easier to find!

I found this on Saturday after stalking the EGL sales:


And, I'm pretty excited about these socks that I bought for a really good deal:

These socks are from the Merry Making Party series. Though I already had a coordinate planned around my Merry Making Party skirt, I'll now be able to wear the skirt in two different ways. In my first MMP coordinate, the primary color is black and the secondary color is blue. However with these socks, I'll be able to make blue the primary color and black the secondary color. I think I may need a blue hair bow though.

Ring Haul

Well not really a haul, but just a couple of new rings I've purchased for my coordinates.


1.)
Strawberry ring from Imperfect Kawaii:

This will go wonderfully with Milky Berry(pictured), and was a steal at $6.50.

2.)
Jelly ring from random etsy seller:

I got this for pretty cheap at $4.00. I wanted to try and make these on my own, but decided I don't really want to dabble in resign.
I bought this to go with my Jewelry Jelly coordinate. I can't find the ring that comes in the JJ series:


3.)
Angelic Pretty Toki Meki ring:

This will go with all of my pink and blue coordinates.


Just for the hell of it, I also bought this Jewelry Jelly print for my wardrobe:


I'm also currently keeping my eye out for an Aurora necklace to go with my bittersweet coords: 





Well I'm off to eat some donut holes.

Junk I Love Other Than Lolita

So right now I'm waiting for my boyfriend to come back from church so we can do a couple of errands, and I'm pretty bored. So here's the ten things that I love outside of the frills.

In no particular order or ranking haha:

#1: My dog Skooter

Playing fetch with him kept me from getting bored at home. Because of that, I was able to quit smoking cigarettes two months after my family adopted him.
I buy bandanas for my dogs:

Poor Skoots hates having his photo taken while he's asleep!

#2: My dog Maya:

She loves having her picture taken at all times.

Me and Maya:


#3: My boyfriend! 

He's great. He's patient and trustworthy, and although we have polar opposite hobbies, he still supports me.

On to the material stuff!

#4: Philosophy Vanilla Birthday Cake lipgloss

This is the longest wearing lipgloss I've ever had. It stays on all day, and it really does taste like cake.

#5: Urban Decay makeup
24/7 eyeliner in Zero

Midnight Cowboy Palette 


The Midnight Cowboy shadows have been my favorite for years. I bought this palette back in January and lost it :( How the hell do you loose an eye shadow palette?

#6: Doc Martins

I've got Doc mary janes to the ones that lace all the way up my knees. I don't wear them often, but I still love them!

#7: British comedy:
....has twisted my sense of humor in dark ways..



  


#8: Stephen King

I read a lot of different things, but I've been reading Stephen King for as long as I can remember. My favorite is probably "The Long Walk", which he wrote under his pen name of Richard Bachman.

#9: Happy hour at Bahooka

Bahooka is this restaurant near my house with nautical decor and thousands of fish tanks. When they have happy hour, hawaiian drinks are only $4 each. I feel like I'm on vacation when I go there.


#10: My car

I made a bunch of stuff for the interior of the car. I glued cookies to my radio knobs, and deco'd the seat belt clips with jelly beans (this car reminds me of a jelly bean) I also got customizable Boondock Saints stickers made for it.


There you have it. Ten things I love, other than the obvious things like my family of course.

Until next time!
