☆ WISH OUTFITS ☆ #2

one, two, three, four, five, six

Here's the second serving of my dream outfit series. I decided to do another since they are loads of fun! Here's some of the latest stuff I'm wishing for these days. Yes there will be loads of platforms and dresses! Anyhow, for this first outfit you'll notice that all the accessories give back to the dress. What I mean by this is that the colors are all pretty close to what you find on the dress. Yup pastel. These freaking earrings are so cute-- but are a bit brash if you're into that sort of thing (I know I am). I'm a sucker for the sunnies because of the mod-air they give off. The bag is perfect for travel and for pastel palette outfits since it's so basic. The shoes are a bit pricey but I love platforms and white shoes work wonderfully with such a bright outfit. As for the dress it's, in my view, the centerpiece. The socks need no explanation since who doesn't love frilly socks?

one, two, three, four, five

I'm really loving the quirky pine-apple bag here. It really reminds me of the design Moschino produced. Which is a hefting $700 by the way. This outfit is based around some trends like 'hologram' shoes as well as some summer-y themes: flowers, pineapples. Also Tiny Tim! Yes you probably have heard of him (but not even know it). That's because his song: Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight is featured in a distinct cartoon called Spongebob Squarepants. The pineapple bag and the dress reminded me of Spongebob so I decided to also incorporate Tiny Tim's album into this as well.

I love wearing darker outfits too you know. I really dig items that look unique and odd. This outfit is pretty eye-catching but also is a little bit subtle as well-- okay maybe those socks scream 'witch house' but I mean you feel me right? Also I wasn't sure how the dress would fit on the shirt but this is all completely conceptual so forgive me if I'm being a little off here. Here's a little secret *I actually own the shoes* I couldn't resist anddd who doesn't love cut-out boots! The sunglasses make me think of Wildfox's Bel Air shades as well as Chanel's vintage sunglasses. And we can't forget about the gorgeous black pony bag! How cute is it!? It definitely feels a lot like this designer bag (bonus points if you can name it)

Wholesale 7 Haul #2

Hey everyone I've got another mini wholesale7 haul coming at you. It's been a long time since I've bought products from wholesale7 but out of the blue I just decided to grab a few things that caught my fancy-- now here I am back with another haul for you guys. Again, I bought all these items with my own money none of this was sent to me free. If you're interested in a tutorial in how to buy things on this website as well as another review click here. If you want to see a review of shoes from wholesale7 click here.

Okay so let's move onto the haul I received.

Starting with the stock photos

#1

Giuseppe Zanotti-esque Wing Sandals

What I received:

4.5/5

Okay, first of all the description on this thing says it's "rubber" which is a blatant lie. There is nothing rubber about this (I suppose if you consider PU leather rubber ?) but the wing embellishments on this baby feel sort of like porcelain? or plastic definitely not cheap feeling plastic though it's very sturdy. The thing I don't really like about it is how it feels really bulky and heavy since the wings are made of a heavy material. It looks exactly like the picture and everything but I noticed there are minor scratches or blemishes on the left sandal. Still pretty pleased though!

#2

Gold Plated Platforms

What I Received

4.9/5

I don't really have any complaints about this item. It looks strikingly the same in the stock photo (even has the same logo on the bottom go figure). I don't think I've ever gotten an item from this site that was so similar to the stock photo-- yes I'm saying this site is usually hit or miss and these platforms happen to be my biggest hit yet! Okay I lied about having no complaints I do have one: the way it was packaged was stupid since it damaged and wrinkled the left shoe's little gold thing slightly :c You can see it on the picture if you look closely. Although what can I really expect with how packages are treated in transit these days?

#3

Floral Print Dress

What I Received

4.5/5

Okay so it's pretty obvious that the flowers in the stock photo are way brighter than the actual dress. But I could sort of tell that the photo was retouched and the brightness seemed like it was amped up. So I was already expecting it to be this way. I'm a little mixed because I actually prefer the flowers being like this. I'm really happy with this dress the pattern reminds me of one of Wildfox's sweaters. It's perfect for summer since it's chiffon and has short sleeves! I'm really happy it's shaped the same and there were no loose threads!

#4

Pyramid Platformed Sandals

What I Received

5/5

Haha, I know it's strange how I posted two pictures of this item but I just wanted to show you all how amazing the sides on these platforms are. It's as if there are pyramids on them. They aren't even printed on like they are actually shaped like that and jut out and everything.These shoes are uh-may-zing. Again wholesale7 gives me a break by giving me something that looks exactly like the stock photo. Even the logo on the bottom appears to be the same. Also these are my favorites since I really love unique looking shoes. I just can't find anything bad about these shoes so I am giving them a 5. c:

☆ WISH OUTFITS ☆

one, two, three, four

Hey guys, I got a little bored and decided to make a lust list. There are a few lot things I'm wishing for. Mostly things from Sheinside, Storeenvy, and Ebay. I love floral prints and the shape of this dress is quite stunning-- I also don't have enough short sleeved dresses they are really comfortable for the coming summer. The brown scalloped bag is a little too pricey for my blood but this is a wish list after all and I think it goes really well with the dress. Plus the scalloped design is so cute! The white platforms on this outfit is probably my very favorite. I'm saving for them but sort of hesitating because I think I might have too many shoes already! They look so similar to Wildfox's Lonestar.

one, two, three, four, five

I think any cat lover can appreciate the cat printed sock. I've wanted them ever since I first found them! The skorts and the earth toned sweater are both from Sheinside and I am in love with the colors. I know it's a little late for sweaters since it's spring but sometimes there are those times when you just need a sweater right? As for the purse and the platforms they both are sort of velvet. The purse has a super cute little cat face on it! Also the shoes are platforms which-- I really love platforms so there's no need to explain any further.   

one, two, three, four
I actually have this dress already. If you go though my previous posts you'll see it. I didn't purchase it from Romwe though but the place I got it doesn't carry it any longer. I wanted this purse because of its color and how unique it looks-- also I've always wanted a clear bag for some reason. It kind of reminds me of some kind of pencil bags I had you know the kind you had in elementary school along with your Lisa frank folders? Yeah it's like that feeling. And as for the slippers aren't they cute? I really love the scalloped embellishments. Anywho thanks for reading. See you in my next blog post! - xx Mary

I OPENED A STOREENVY!

You can find it here

A. Haha, yeah I finally got around to doing this. I've wanted to start selling my old clothes for a very long time but I guess I was just to timid to and it also slipped my mind a lot. Now I finally mustered up the courage (and of course the constant reminder of my closet being crammed) to finally start selling my used clothes. 

B. If you don't know what store envy is well it's sort of like ebay but with a more friendly interface and it's free to start a shop! 

C. I had no idea how much hard work it actually is to take accurate pictures of stuff to sell! Took me a few hours to do only a few of them but I have so much more to add to this store! 

I might add that I really have no clue what I am doing since I've never done this kind of thing before... I hope people understand that the shipping might take me a little while since I'm still trying to figure this out. Right now I'm only shipping to the United States but I might start shipping international when I have figured it all out! 

Here's a little preview

D.  I will be adding more items! I just couldn't today because it was really dreary and I rely heavily on natural light to take these photos. I really hope the sun shows his face tomorrow because I need to get busy. As of now I am doing a promotion for my blog readers only so if you have a pulse and are reading this you can get a discount! All you have to do is put the word magic in the 

'code box' and you will get 15% off on everything on my store! Just remember the url for my store is usesore.storeenvy.com! 

E. Have you ever sold anything online before? What was it like? I'll be honest I'm really nervous and I feel like I'm going to mess everything up! Any suggestions for anything would be really appreciated and also-- should I lower the prices or highten them? I kind of estimated what the item was worth in my head but oh well haha we'll see :{ Anddd I almost forgot I will be updating what I've added on this facebook page so if you have the time I would really appreciated it if you liked it! Thanks a bunch for reading!

MUCHACHA CAT BAG! and other magical items.

Do you like my bag from Ahcahcum Muchacha? It came all the way from Japan! It's probably the

cutest bag I have ever seen in my life. It's a vintage cat tapestry-esque tote! It's also worth saying that I find it absolutely odd due to the fact that it's upside down. Although honestly I feel that this is brilliant because the little ears can hang down. It's super cute! And if you look on the right the zipper has a little tail attached to it! I swear it matches almost everything

This is what it looks like on the side view. As you can see it takes a triangular form. Also it still caries the print on the sides as well. Not sure how I really feel about it but it's pretty congruent so far. Oh and don't mind the dress on my table I just like to include it in pictures.

 It also came with this cute little cat coin purse! How CUTE IS IT!? Don't really know what

to store inside of it yet. Perhaps coins? Maybe yeah I might put coins into a coin purse..

 Next are these brogue boot from Romwe finally arrived! So excited to wear them in the winter!

Meh I feel like I could wear this for every season. 

 I'm totally in love with the details . . . <3

 I also got this sweater from Sheinside! It's super comfortable and soft and I love the general fit.

That's all for now guys! What do you think of my recent purchases lately?

How should I style them? Also above is me taking a picture of you so I can steal

your soul and devour them to feed to my hair-- for sustenance. SUSTENANCE!

2 0 1 2 F a l l Inspiration

Haven't had a go at blogging in ages but here are some of my new flavors for fall.
I'm still in love with the romantic vintage look. And I still very much am fond of flowers
and girly hair. I'm liking both warn and muted cool colors this season. Lace, leather and pleats with brogue shoes with an eccentric vintage flair. Enjoy.

There's a Bluebird In My Heart

How do you like my new bag from wholesale020.com?

I think it's lovely and romantic looking. It sort of reminds me of a cupcake.

This outfit merged dark elements with really cutesy elements.

Today I watched Brave and I loved it! The animation was so beautiful and I loved

how realistically they made Merida's hair look. I'm a great fan of Pixar, I feel that the animation they did with Brave was splendid and very vividly detailed. I had a great night although I think I ate too much popcorn.

New Satchel!
