Outfit: Pastel Batty Girl

Hello again lovelies!

Another outfit post for you!

I think Mondays are pretty good days for postings, right?  I prep 'em on the weekend, then post 'em Monday morning!

Hopefully Monday postings will make your day a little brighter. ^^

Anyway, this outfit was inspired by all of the pastel spooky pixels I've seen on tumblr lately.  I love spooky-cute stuff!

Let's go!






Details from the top down:
Skull Ribbon Clips: Target
Sailor Moon Earrings: hobbit.town Jewelry
Jacket: Pinkly Ever After
Seifuku Top: Bodyline
Bow Ring: Love Culture
Shorts: Savers
Bat Tights: Holley Tea Time
Shoes: Bodyline

First off, I'd like to apologize for the lighting.  I have plenty of space in this area of my apartment to take full body outfit shots, but the lighting is definitely not the best.  I'm playing around with my tripod in different areas of my humble abode to make sure I get the best lighting possible, so don't be alarmed if the location for these shots changes in the next few posts!

So for this coordinate, I wanted to look like one of the bats on my tights.  A bit silly, but lots of fun!  The bat itself is lavender, so my lavender seifuku top worked perfectly!  The fact that it's also white fits in with the melty moons, eyeballs, bones, and such on my tights.  The pink jacket fits with the background of the tights, so I had a good color balance on top and bottom.  There was a bit of black in the outlines of the designs on the tights, so I paired everything with my favorite black high waist shorts.  The dark color and cut of the shorts also created a nice body shape and contrast to the light colors in my outfit.  For shoes, I went with my Bodyline ribbon shoes.  These are one of my favorite pairs of shoes because they're so comfortable.  Seriously, they're my most comfortable pair of stylish shoes that I own.  I think I'll have to get them in black as well. xD

As far as accessories go, I just wanted to use things that fit in with the color scheme of the outfit, so the pink bow ring and my pink and purple sailor moon earrings did the job.  The entire outfit itself is pretty loud, so I didn't want to pile on the jewelry.  

To top it all off, I tried to style my hair to look like bat wings.  I tied it up in twin tails and teased it to give it more shape.  Unfortunately, a big rainstorm hit after class that day, so by the time I took these photos, my hair had fallen considerably.  But all was not lost, as I had my super cute skull ribbons in!  I bought them in the dollar section at Target during the Halloween season, but I haven't worn them much in the past couple of years since they didn't seem to go with anything in my closet.  I was digging through my hair accessory bin (yes, bin) right before I had to run out the door, and at the bottom I saw these and knew they would work wonders with this coordinate.  

The many layers in this outfit kept me warm on a chilly Autumn day, and I was a little drop of color in the otherwise gray, gloomy day.  I had great fun sporting this look around campus, and the receptionist at the Student Service Center said I looked like a pink, fuzzy bunny!  Not exactly what I was going for, but pink fuzzy bunnies are super cute so it's still an awesome compliment!

I hope you enjoyed this post, and I'll have plenty more outfit posts to show you in the coming weeks!

Art: Cute Galaxy

Hello again!

Today I'd like to show y'all some really cool art!

The art brand I'm talking about today is Cute Galaxy, also known as Miss-Glitter on deviant art! The artist behind the brand is named Holly, and she's based out of New Zealand!  Her bio on Facebook says she's an "illustrator of cute stuff!"  Short, simple, and to the point.  I like it.  And I absolutely love her creations!  Check 'em out!



Wish Bear!


I absolutely love this one of Share Bear since she brought back the original 1980's tummy design of the soda float!  It was changed in the early 2000's due to some parents being concerned that the promotion of sharing drinks would spread disease...so the design was changed to two lollipops.  Take notice that Holly has included Share Bear holding one of those lollipops here.  Clever way to include both designs!  ...and to out the hard core Care Bear fans like myself. XD


Apple White of the Ever After High series!

Her fan art is super cute, but I also adore her original work!


Here's the full print of the sticker seen above!  This piece is what originally captured my attention in the first place last month when I really started to get into galaxy stuff.


Boo!  This is probably the cutest ghost ever.  I love that she has heart shaped cheeks, and the ribbon on her head is too adorable for words!


Who doesn't love spooky cute?  Since Autumn is coming up fast, I'm preparing myself for ALL the spooky cute!  I love the melty icing, it makes the bat look like a cookie!

These are just some of the things that are available at Cute Galaxy, but there's so much more cuteness to be seen!  If you want to purchase art prints, T-shirts, pillows, tote bags, and more, please check out the Cute Galaxy shop here! 

Another cool thing about Holly is that she's constantly doing commissions!  She does them every week, and has a certain number of spots that you can sign up for on deviant art.  Commissions are one of the ways that artists earn their money, so if you want to help her out, (and view commissions she's done for other people), please check her out on deviant art here!

For updates on your Facebook feed, please give Cute Galaxy a 'like' here!

I was so delighted to find Cute Galaxy, and I hope that you are too!  If you're already a fan, what's one of your favorite pieces?  Let me know in the comments below!

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