Dark Steampunk

Good morning lovies! Ohayou! (^°^)
Are you well? 

Today I am covering a dark steampunk look! 
These photos are from a photoshoot I recently modeled at. c:


I am absolutely in love with this outfit. 
Fancy. *-*


 Outfit breakdown
Corset, skirt and socks: Amazon
Top hat: Roma
Shoes: Ellie
Respirator: Local hardware store, spray painted.

If you get boots like this, I have to give you a warning:
Don't put pressure on your heel at all or you will fall. 
Looking awesome doesn't always come easy! <3
That hat is also really big:
-either you have to hold it up
-or get something to put in that hat to make it smaller
Once you spray paint your respirator, give it at least 24-48 hours before trying it on/wearing it. 
You will inhale paint fumes and that is a bad thing!
The skirt will be wrinkly when it gets to you.
You can have it steamed or hang it over a shower to straighten it out.
I personally just patted it down and went with the crinkly look.
You will want to wear bloomers or full underwear under the skirt as it is extremely see through and short.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask in the comments!~

Doll Life & Yet Another Wig Review!

Konnichiwa!
I missed you so much I had to make another post today! <3
How are all my lovies doing today? 

Today I'm back with another wig review from Epic Cosplay Wigs! 
Clearly, I love their wigs. 
-There are so many different styles and colors to choose from.
-They are heat resistant so you can straighten or curl them on low heat.
-They are adjustable so you don't have to worry about it falling off!
-They cover your wig caps! 


This time we are back in blue! 
This is one of my very favorite wigs. 
I'm obsessed with the color and I love the style opportunities!


It looks great in any light! 
The way I styled this wig (no products):
I simply pulled back a big chunk of the bangs and swooped it up to the upper side. 
Then I pinned it back with some bobby pins. 
I like to keep this wig pretty straight.


Outfit Breakdown:
Lashes: Sephora
Undershirt, skirt and sweater: Local Thrift Shop
Thigh high socks: Hot Topic
Combat Boots: Journey's


I was supposed to take better pictures yesterday but my friend had something come up.
I will have better pictures soon enough! 
My circle lenses should be here on Friday and I can't wait to do a review on those!

Epic Cosplay Wig Review!

Hello again! ^-^
I'm back with a wig review! :)
I hope you all enjoy. 


I am absolutely in love with this wig style. 
You can accomplish so many looks with a simple short wig.


I love messing around around with tiny ponytails in these short wigs! 
They give off such a cute innocent look! 
I also try to add clips with pastel colors to pull the entire look together. <3

Wig: Epic Cosplay Wigs



Here's another great addition to short wigs!
Grab a pair of clip in ponytails and you can create a ton of adorable pigtail looks! 


Keep in mind, a lot of wigs aren't going to look spot on as soon as you take them out of the bag!
A lot of the time, you're going to have to style your wig or even have it cut if it's not the way you like it. However, this wig and ponytail set, I have done nothing but put it in place with my hands. 
No product was used.
The other great things about Epic Cosplay wigs: 
-They are heat resistant so you can curl or straighten them with low heat!
-They are adjustable! This means you can tighten them before you put them on to increase stability for certain situations!


I am hopefully taking a ton more pictures today with different wigs and looks today so hopefully I will have a new blog post in the next couple of days! 
I will be reviewing circle lenses and some other amazing things coming up as well!
Have a super awesome day! ^-^

Thrift Store Looks!

Hello there and welcome to my blog~! 
Thank you to each and every one of you for taking the time to stop by and check it out!
I promise I will do my best to bring you great style guides and reviews.
Please bear with me as I get my blog looking better as I go along. 


A lot of people tell me they can't afford to dress Harajuku, Alternative or Kawaii style so my first post is going to be about a couple of outfits I put together at a thrift store!
These pictures aren't the greatest and I apologize for that but I will be trying to take better pictures in the future! ^-^
Here are the 2 outfits I got pictures of. I will be taking more for my next post soon! 
 Both outfits were between 20-26$ total. The same undershirt is worn in both but the price of the shirt is calculated in to both outfits. c:
When I go to a thrift or second hand store, it can be extremely overwhelming for me. 
I usually end up going with a few specific things in mind so I don't have to comb the entire store. 
Today, I went looking for short skirts, long oversizes sweaters and frilly shirts. 

If you try to break down the look you want then it's sometimes easier to pull the look together. 
I never go to the store and see how things are going to look in an outfit when they are on the hanger. I've found however for me that the if I go looking for a specific item, I just pick up every item I find that fits the description whether I hate it or not and then I try on everything together.

For example for sweaters: I will look for sweaters that are both long and not too tight. Then I make sure they are the right material that I'm looking for. If it matches those things, I grab it and try it on. 

For skirts: I just find something that isn't too long and has either a school-y look or a frilly girly skirt and go from there. Skater skirts work well too. 

As far as shirts go: Today, I just tried to find anything white that could look Victorian or has long drapey bows or other such things I might like. 

All of this is based on your specific taste, so go crazy with it! Just try to keep in mind the look you want when going into a store that has a thousand and one racks. :)


Here are the separate pieces of both outfits. <3


The shirt! (You may need a cami or undershirt for some of the shirts I wear. I tend to pick a lot of see through ones.)


 The oversized sweater and school girl type skirt for look 1!


 This skirt is more pleated and has under lace. <3

That's basically it for right now! I have a couple of other posts in mind so stay tuned for more! ^^
Thank you for reading my blog!
