June Fashion!

Hello all you lovely people!

It's been a while since I've done a proper outfit post on here, but I have been keeping up with my favorite outfits this month!  So, I've decided to do a post on my favorite fashion in June.  This includes the colorful fashion I usually wear, and some new things I decided to try.

Let's go!

I wore the above outfit to an album release party at Spider House.  Pojo the Idealist (who I went to high school with and acted in plays with) released his second album, Love, this month, and it's great!  I'm so glad I was able to go and support his newest release.  Anyway, my theme for the above outfit was Space Babe! XD  Nothing says space babe like a galaxy unicorn top, right?  Here's the rundown:

Top:  Wal Mart

Ring:  A gift--from a local artisan in Austin I believe

Ribbon:  Holley Tea Time

Eye Jewels:  JoAnn's

I liked playing with the make up for this look.  I went for sharp, dark eyebrows, thick black eyeliner, and of course the jewels!  I also tried something new with my hair.  I took the shorter layers, twisted them, and pinned them to the side.  That alone gave me the poof I wanted on top, but it looked unfinished, so I braided it and added a ribbon.  I thought it was fun and whimsical, so I kept it!  I also like how the pink in my hair goes with the purple and blue of the galaxy print.

Side note, I don't shop at Wal Mart anymore because I don't support the way they treat their employees.  It's awful. T__T

This next outfit was just for a day running errands...but I wanted to look cute anyway.  XD  Here's the details:

Top:  Target

Shorts:  Macy's

Shoes:  Dr. Martens via Zappos

Bunny Ring:  Kira Kira Entertainment Shop

Bracelets:  Dollar Store

I like the combination of black and pink, so that's what I went for in this look.  I'm so incredibly excited about those Dr. Martens sneakers, they're so in-your-face and fashionable, but still super comfortable.  I also like that this top has a bit of a high-low effect so I can show off just a bit of tummy without it being a full crop top.  For make up, I played with the pink and black theme by putting pink eye shadow on the outer half of my eyes, and a grey shimmer on the inner half, blending well.  I then put my thick black liner on top of it, and did the dark arched brows as well.  This time, instead of leaving the lips neutral, I put on a magenta color using my Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Lovesick.  

 

This next outfit is one I wore at Texas Comicon once our Kira Kira Maids concert was over on Saturday!  We went back to the hotel room quickly to change, then worked our booth and took turns wandering around.  I didn't want to wear a cosplay because it was HOT, but I wanted to be wacky, cute, and have some character swag at the same time.  So, here's the rundown!

Domo-kun Crop Top:  H&M

Shorts:  Target

Ribbon:  Pinkly Ever After

Kitty Pin:  Sweet Spirits

Bangle:  Dear by Amanda Bynes

Sailor Moon Earrings:  Hobbit Town Jewelry

Glasses:  Rue21

While I was packing for this trip, I thought domo-kun would be perfect to bring along, and because it was so hot that weekend, the fact that it was a crop top was a plus!  I'm still trying to figure out how to pose in crop tops because they're not something I'm used to wearing quite yet.  Ah well, practice makes perfect!  Anyway, the top is super comfy and soft, as well as super cute!  Looking at the photos now, I'm not sure the shorts go too well with the pink on domo-kun, but there are worse things that could happen.  Anyway, I was happy to make use of my Sweet Spirits Suzy Cat brooch again, and wear it with my Sailor Moon Earrings that I got at the convention!  I'll be doing a review of Hobbit Town Jewelry in another post, so stay tuned for details!

My make up here is the make up I had on for the show:  Black eyeliner, super fluffy lashes, and BRIGHT WHITE highlight under the eyes, as well as purple eye jewels.  I could've gone without the glasses, but I put on so much highlight that at a close range I was afraid it would scare people, so the glasses balanced it out a bit. XD  And they're just super cute, right?  As far as hair goes, it had flattened out considerably after the show because of all of the dancing, so I threw it into a side ponytail and put on my Pinkly Ever After Princess Crystal Ribbon!  Perfect! Those ribbons served me well that weekend, since I wore one every day of the convention!

I apologize for the lighting in the close up pictures being so orange!  I'm still figuring out how to take good photos in hotel bathrooms...

 

This last outfit is by far the simplest, but sometimes you need to have those simple days.  Here's the details:

Dress:  Forever 21

Necklace and Earrings:  Thrifted

That's it! XD  Besides the sneakers which you can't see.  I'll be working on taking good full body photos soon so these fashion posts can improve!  Anyway, I wore this to see Silence the Musical, presented by Doctuh Mistuh productions at the Salvage Vanguard Theatre here in Austin.  I wanted to go with something comfortable and classy for the theatre.  This dress from Forever 21 has been one of my standbys for the past few years since it's comfortable, cute, and can be dressed up or down for any occasion.  

I also went for simpler make up here, using a brownish black eyeliner and a gold/beige shimmery highlight under the eyes (which will be featured in my June Favorites post)!  I did a gradient lip using my Covergirl Hot Passion lipstick on the inside of my lips.  

As you can see in the last two outfits, I added purple to my hair!  I wanted to try something a little different, and I've always loved the combination of lavender and pink!  I think I'll keep this color combination for a while since I like it a lot.  For the purple I used N Rage's Purple Plum and diluted it with a whole lot of conditioner!  It's more of a blue based purple than a red based purple, but it works for me!

Whew!  I hope y'all enjoyed my fashion rundown for June, and are looking forward to more fashion posts in July!  I still have my June Favorites to post, a review on Hobbit Town Jewelry like I mentioned above, and a a haul with a discussion on sizes at one of my favorite stores. ;)

Thanks so much for reading, and I'll see you in my next post!

Sweet Spirits Review: Suzy Cat

Hey there everyone!

Happy Saturday!

I hope you're having a good day today.

Since my last few posts were related to the music industry, I decided to change it up today with a review!  I've had this product for a few months already, so it's way overdue!

So back in April, I was looking through my jewelry box and after getting rid of some things I didn't wear anymore, I decided to look for some new things.  Other fashion blogs like Pastel Cubes had shown products from a store called Sweet Spirits.

Sweet Spirits specializes in pastel accessories that are in a Fairy Kei 80s style.  Fairy Kei is something I've been interested in for a long time, so I thought I would give this shop a try.  The item I bought is the Suzy Cat brooch, which also doubles as a hair clip!

Here's the stock photo!  

Now, onto the unboxing!

There were little doodles all over the package in pastel colors.  I thought it was a cute touch.

Inside the package, I noticed some extras wrapped in pink bubble wrap!

Stickers!  They say "Sweet Spirits" in Katakana.  I'll put one on my laptop with the rest of my stickers.

A magical unicorn magnet!  It's pretty big!  It's now on my freezer.  It keeps the ice cream safe. XD

And another magnet, this time a small one.  It has a pastel rainbow planet with a ring around it!  I love the look of this magnet, since galaxy themes, especially in pastel colors, are something I've been into recently.

Now, onto the actual product.

The brooch was in this little plastic bag tied up with a pink ribbon!

And inside the plastic bag was a cloth bag, also pink, that you can see though.  The product was well protected, and I think the cloth bags are darling.  I felt like I was opening a present instead of receiving something I bought online.

Here's the brooch finally unwrapped!  Isn't it adorable?  It's more delicate than I thought it would be.  The wings are made from a very thin material, so I have to be careful not to bend them.  Also, you can see the purple alligator clip through the wings if you look closely.

Taking a look at the back, you can see both clips firmly attached to the cat base, and the base actually has a very clean finish on the back.  Some shops don't put as much care into the back of their clips since they aren't seen, but I appreciate the attention to detail that Sweet Spirits put into this.

Going back to the front, this brooch looks just like the stock photo!  The resin is made well, it has a wonderful sparkle, and the little heart on the front is glued down and sturdy so it won't fall off easily.

I like how there are even ridges in the resin for the whiskers!  Too cute!  It's smooth and lightweight, so whether on a shirt, your bag, or in your hair, this brooch will stay put without being too heavy, and you'll look super cute!

Here's how it looks in an outfit!

As you can see, I used it as a pin on my shirt, and I think it complimented Pikachu well, don't you? XD

I used it as a pink accent with my hair, my striped earrings, and my Sailor Moon cap!  It was a character kind of day.

Since this product is well made, versatile, and easy to coordinate, I give it a 5/5 stars!  The team at Sweet Spirits also sent it well packaged, in a timely manner, and were kind enough to send along cute extras!

If you'd like to get your own Suzy Cat clip, you can get it here for $15!  We can match!

I'll definitely shop at Sweet Spirits again in the future, as my experience with them was a good one!  Make sure you check them out!

I hope you enjoyed the review, and I'll see you in my next post!

xoxo
