Storyenvy Saturday #4 ~ On-line to In-Home

This week I am doing another theme! This time I am including cute items to spruce up your bedroom or office! I was inspired by a Storenvy Staff Pick that featured a cute little panda night light! So here we go, jumping into our fifth week!

My mother has a tone of milk glass lamps that she has inherited through the family and I am slowly falling in love with them. They are so versatile for many styles! Fairy Kei, Sweet Lolita, very very Classic Lolita but even Gothic Lolita or Creepy Cute could easily work in these lamps. Adding rings to the base or even a bow around the glass could really cuteify this lamp! It sells for $10.00 USD, as always the pictures link to where to purchase.

I would need about 50 of these for my jewelry, but for those of you who don't own a lot of jewelry, these hangers are $7.99 USD each. It may come as a surprise but a lot of Lolitas (especially those who don't participate in OTT Sweet) don't have a lot of jewelry. Which, if you think about the idea it makes sense. Lolita clothing can be very expensive so wasting money on lots of jewelry can be a waste! It's rather impractical for myself being that I have lots of clothes, a tiny closet, and lots of jewelry.

I included several different memo pads because they are such a simple way to really brighten up any room! I love a few of these stacked up next to my bucket of adorable pens! Plus I am an avid sticky note / memo note user. I even tape them to my mirror and walls. 

HURRY! THESE ARE $0.20 USD!! I got mine on eBay for $0.99 so this is a really good deal. I have it in both colors, but the brown photographed really really light here - at least compared to the brown I have. This is a mirror and a comb, and I adore mine. The comb does slip out fairly easily but it is simple to tuck back inside.

While most of what my family washes is hand washed, there is quite a bit that is allowed in the dishwasher and on our busy days we will toss them into the dishwasher. We are left re-washing dishes quite often because we don't know if they are clean or dirty. I think these little signs are so cute, especially for $0.50 USD! You can also choose what color you want. Hello Pink ~ Yay for cute, cheap, and useful magnets!

Did you ever have a pillow that lit up? I remember my sister had one, mine was just plain and I was so jealous. Believe it or not, this cute star pillow actually lights up! I want like. . .twenty on my bed so I can light them all up. Honestly this is one of the cutest stuffed pillows I have ever seen.

Talk about amazingly creative and super cute storage! The come in sets of three and I am in love with the colors. Actually, they might be fairly easy to make, but for those who can't wait this could make amazing storage for a lot of different items!

Storenvy Saturday #3 ! CREEPY CUTE EDITION

I can't believe we have come to another Storenvy Saturday! This week went by so quickly for me! I can't complain, because I got my paycheck this Friday. The portion not going into savings was spent on tights (for me in all sorts of cute fairy kei/mahou kei designs) and jewelry for my younger sister (whose style is very creepy cute). So you guys can look forward to those posts eventually.

Anyway, ONTO STORENVY SATURDAY.

This time I am doing something different and making a CREEPY CUTE addition in honor of my sister Theresa (who is turning 17 on February 26th. She is getting so grown up. TT u TT <3) and her adoration for all things fluffy, adorable, creepy, and maybe slightly morbid. Some of these items are on the sweeter side, and some could be use in Gothic Lolita, sooo~ this gets the lolita tag and the fairy kei tag.

Choco Cloud carries items that are Fairy Kei but some delve into Creepy Cute, for instance this bow works for both Spank! styles and Creepy Cute. For $4.50 USD this bow can be worn in your hair with an alligator clip or pinned to clothing with a pin. I just adore polka dots so this is ranked pretty high in my book. Plus there is purple. Plus there is sparkle. Look at how that bow glitters. It shall hypnotize you with it's shininess!! "Buuuuy meeeee~~"

For $3.50 USD these earrings can be yours at Darling Deers Kawaii. Heck, I bought them for Fairy Kei since they look so pastel and 80s. However, bats and pastels are common in Creepy Cute. (Bold colors such as purple, teal, hot pink, and lime green are also used with black, white, and gray of course.) Every other picture of a girl in creepy cute I see pastel colored hair, bat motifs, and crucifixes everywhere. So these are something I frequently find missing from my room and hanging from my sister's earlobes. Up close in this picture you may see "flaws," how some beads don't close up as much as others. However, once on your ears (and even more so moving a bit) you really can't tell - but mine were really nice too. They look so cool when my sister is walking because they look like flying little bats.

Also - my sister has really sensitive ears, so most metals and heavy earrings bug her. Let me go into mini-details here because you may think you have sensitive ears but you have no idea how bad it can get. Theresa had to get her ears pierced three times - and I am just talking about a simple lobe piercing. She still has to sanitize her ears after having them done for years because they become red and infected so easily. Plus she should be doing it every time she takes earrings in and out. I can't say that she always cleans them, but that may be why around the lobe her ears are often dry and red.

The amazing thing about these? She has had no problems with and she says they are super light weight.

Vinyl, leather, lace - you may think I am talking about the wardrobe of Lady Gaga or Adam Lambert but nope. These three items are common for clothing and accessories in Creepy Cute. So why not showcase a vinyl bow by  Melty Dream that costs $8.00 USD. For a vinyl bow that is sewn this well, I could see myself purchasing this for the price. It's actually a fairly large bow. Warning though: Melty Dreams isn't exactly thrifty. A lot of items in her shop are more. . .wishlist items.

It was tough to only pick one headband from Creepy Little Girl because to be honest, I want them all. Flower headbands are still appearing everywhere in Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese magazines - and I would think in many other Asian magazines too. Even Vogue caught on and had a few girls dawning bouquets in their hair. It's trending right now, which makes people give you a few less looks but it also works well in a lot of Fairy, Lolita, and Creepy Cute looks depending on the flower quality, the headband quality  the colors, the additional items mixed in, etc. The headband is $15.00 USD and the anklets/shoe garters are $15.99 USD. More expensive, but these could make fairly easy DIY experiments. (I think my sister may take a trip to dollar tree so we can make these for a DIY. . .) This gal makes a lot of cute items though.

These little devil horns have made their way all over Tumblr, and I can see why. They are super adorable in Creepy Cute, and my sister who is also a Homestuck fan already has plans to paint the white ones into. . .I don't know who the character is, but apparently the character has candy corn colored horns like that. (I avoid Homestuck because the fandom is obnoxious. Yet I am a Whovian. Whut?) These are sold for $8.00 USD at Jinx Me.

Now, want to know a secret? EVERYTHING ON JINX ME IS ON EBAY. For at least half the price. Just do an ebay search and you can find everything. 

If this looks familiar it is because I bought it for my sister for $12.00 USD at Miss Jediflip. And since my sister is a total creep (or a cutie - both terms are correct for Creepy Cute) she is IN LOVE with this amazing bow. Although the bat has photographed silver it is a metallic lavender and gorgeous. The quality is amazing, and my sister loves wearing it every way she can. Including pinned to clothes.

Sugar and Spice DIY is my sister's second favorite storenvy shop. (I promise I will show you her first favorite too!) It contains a lot of Creepy Cute stuff in bold and bright colors, which can sometimes be the more difficult colors for her to find. So I listed a ton of our favorite items from the shop. In order of appearance: Crucifix Bow - $7.00 USD, Crucifix Necklaces - $6.00 USD each, Graveyard Dust Charm Necklace - $9.00 USD, Suck My Bats Brooch Set - $7.00 USD, Star Brooch Set - $8.00 USD.

Spooky Crafts is my sisters third favorite store which sells mostly hair accessories but does dabble in bowties and necklaces. This coffin box is $15.00 USD, and Theresa's most loved item from the store. It is her favorite of all of the handmade coffins Wendy has ever made. Wendy is also happy to do custom work! Be sure to check out all of her glitter skeleton hands! Those are so fun and sparkly ~~ (plus reasonably priced).

(Con)Artistry sells a lot of Victorian, Lolita, Creepy Cute items. This is our favorite item and it only costs $6.00 USD which is our most thrifty find since this hairpiece looks so darn expensive.

The Biscuit Bar!! This is her favorite FAVORITE shop on Storenvy which sells amazing rings (for the most part its all rings) and some iPhone cases, but neither one of us has an iPhone. We are Andriod gals. All of the rings shown are $10.00 USD each, which isn't expensive but not super mega thrifty either. I am including this shop because it is her favorite shop of all time. Including everything on eBay and Etsy which is saying a lot.

Storenvy. . .Saturday? #2

Some of you may have noticed that Storenvy Saturday didn't appear in your blog subscriptions yesterday. I am sad to say that I am a day late posting this, life just got busy for me over the weekend. So here I am posting this super late at night on Sunday. ONTO THE POST~

Cuteness Overload is a sensory delight from Sweden specializing in all things cute and fluffy. Everything in the store is a reasonable price: the best example is that these bracelets are $2.00 USD each! She carries so many cute bracelets, a lot of them I have envied and can be viewed in my profile. These are perfect to stack on your wrist for Fairy Kei and possibly Sweet Lolita. ( Oh my goodness - the blue with the lavender stars in Sailor Lolita <3 I am overflowing with joy ~ )

I know anime and manga sometimes go over pretty roughly with the lolita crowd, mainly because so many are asked if they are cosplaying when fully dressed up OR cosplayers of Miku, cosplayers in maid outfits, etc, all think they are dressing up in Lolita even though they are clearly not to all Lolitas. However, anime and manga are strong themes in Fairy Kei so I present to you an adorable pastel Pikachu button from Shadow Anime which carries all sorts of otaku gear. This pin comes in at $3.95 which is reasonable since it is a giant three inch button!

Baby Cupcake Boutique has some of the cutest headbands this week. If you click the picture linking to her post, she has better pictures of three adorable Hello Kitty headbands and one bunny. Priced at $7.00 USD I am so jumping on getting a white one for my winter white Sweet Lolita co-ord. These headbands have so much frill and sparkle, plus if you are a budget Loli this can be a great substitute for a big brand headband. It's versatile enough that you should get a lot of wear out of this headband.

Bowkuma is well known for elaborate bows, and even I have purchased some from this lovely shop. Now for $3.00 USD you can get your very own Sweet brooch. It's even made with a fancy fancy turning lock, meaning it's going to be extremely difficult to fall off whatever you pin it too: clothing, bookbag, stuffed animal. I know I have seen this resin piece before but this is the best made brooch I have found of it and one of the cheapest too.

$2.00 USD earrings? I am so there! In fact I was just over at Little Sugar Girl a little over a week ago. These are on my next purchase from her shop, and I am so excited to see them in person. Absolutely Fairy Kei but a Sweet Lolita could easily get away with them. I love anything with stars or planets so these earrings are definitely on my list plus the shop owner is darling.

Before you Lolitas call me out for not being elegant enough, I am featuring these lovely earrings from Roaring Through Crowds. Priced at $8.00 USD these are more spendy but they also look much classier. I want to buy most of the earrings in this shop because they look so magical. This perticular design you could wear with a fancy Fairy Kei outfit, a Sweet Lolita co-ord, or even with my sister's style Creepy Cute.

From Creepy Cute to Fairy Kei Pii Kawaii is the perfect shop to visit for really unique accessories. These rings come in at $6.00 USD each with a lot of customization available. I think these are adorable for Fairy Kei and Creepy Cute because Fairy Kei has that made-it-myself feel it it and with Creepy Cute anything goes as long as it is pastel or black (and white!) and adorable.

Millions of Bows always has many many many cute bows - right now her store is actually lower in stock than normal. Anywho - this pin is only $4.00 USD and LOOK AT HOW 80'S IT IS~ The colored mesh can be layered in any combination you want as well. Possibly my favorite find of this week and oh so Fairy Kei. Be sure to check out her three dollar scrunchies too if you are into the style!

That finishes this week's Storenvy Saturday erm. . .Sunday. As always your feedback is greatly appreciated! Is there anything you want me to change? Perhaps you would want me to post only stores I have bought from even though I try to review all of them? Or maybe you want me to focus on one shop every week? I love hearing feedback from all of you Fairies and Lolis out there! ^^
