Meet Marie ♥

I've been saving up for a new Alpacasso to join our little family. As soon as I saw the eden series I knew she was the one. I have two pink boys, Toulouse, from the earmuff series, and Berlioz, from the gorgeous series.

(A cookie for whoever can guess where their names are from~)

Bought: HERE!! (Anime-Dolphin eBay)

Anime-Dolphin sells a range of plushes and merchandise, mostly related to Japanese animation. They have cute ghibli, pokemon and disney collections plus lots of other series. 

Shipping: $3

When she arrived she was packed into a padded, yellow, paper envelope. In that she was sealed in a plastic bag. A little squished as you can see but being a plushie, it just took a few squishes to get her back into shape. She arrived a lot sooner than I thought she would. She was posted within 24 hours after payment, on the 15th of April. Estimated delivery was for the 30th of April but she arrived on the 24th. That is almost a week early, so I was pleasantly surprised when she arrived.

Item/Quality/Price: $39.99

She is a white, female, 17 cm Eden Series Alpacasso. She has little pink cheeks and stitched eyelashes. She has an amuse alpacasso tag on her tummy towards her back leg.

My main concern in purchasing her was that she was going to be a bad knockoff. If she is a knock off, the difference seems very minor to me, she is a very good one. I don't know if she is or isn't a genuine Alpacasso. She does have a label, and a tag, however the only thing that makes me suspicious she is not a genuine one is her label is not an 'eden series' label. I'm no Alpacasso expert so it's only a suspicion. Everything else to me screams genuine. She is a really good quality plush, knock off or not.

I was hoping for a genuine one, but the places where I know to get them had sold out of the eden series. So I took a chance on Anime-Dolphin and I love what I got.

Overall:

I love her to bits. She will get lots of cuddles and fits in wonderfully with Toulouse and Berlioz. I would advise anyone of thinking to buy from Anime-Dolphin, look at the store through the american eBay site. Her Australian site has a lot less available, this product isn't even listed in her Australian store. If you do this there will be price differences, better keep an eye out for that :)

Creepers Review

In my little home town we have an annual rockabilly festival called Lady Luck. It's a great day of kitsch stalls, sexy vintage cars, sick tatts and of course swing cats. This post has been a little delayed, the festival was actually in January but I finally got the time to write about it.

Every year I go around checking out stalls, taking photos of people, cars and buying little bibs and bobs I come across that I can't resist. This year I found a gem of a stall.

Baby Creatures.

This business makes rock n roll adorable. Selling things like tees and bandanas with skulls and tatt designs printed on them. How are they adorable? Well they are for little bubby greasers rather than adults.

Now you might be wondering why this store would catch my eye? I don't have a baby, I don't really know any babies, especially babies that are cool cats. Not only did they have baby things on they were also selling T.U.K creepers. Specifically Mondo Lo Sole Brothel Creepers, with leopard print and studs.

I've been hanging out for a good pair of creepers for a long time. T.U.K is one of the brands to look for, so just how good are they?

Price: $90 AUD
At the time this pair could be bought for around $86 USD, once converted to AUD it was over $90 AUD, and that's not including about $20+ shipping. So this price was amazing! I was so happy. They are great quality shoes, $90 is quite a bit of money for someone on my current income but well worth it.

Item/Quality:
Amazing! They take a little getting used to I will admit, not so much because they are a platform but because they are a lower cut shoe than what I am used to. Also the suede is quite firm at first so I found it dug in under my ankle a little. Though they have softened now so I wear them a lot. I walk pretty much everywhere and these haven't given me any pains, even when I have been walking for kilometres in the city. They are really comfortable, perhaps not the best for support but, again, they have not given me any trouble. None of the studs have fallen off either, which worried me a little but they seem to be fastened on well.

Service:
The man who was running the baby creatures stall was very friendly and personable. He helped me try them on, we had a chat and even held them for me while I went to the bank.

Overall:
Love these babies to bits. They are really versatile in style too, I can coordinate them with heaps of styles. They are pretty much my go to shoes right now. Very comfortable and if you can get your hands on a pair I would definitely recommend them.

As for buying these yourselves you may have to do some hunting. I'm sure if you are in Australia and wish to buy a pair you might be able to grab some from baby creatures if you contact them on their facebook or through their website.

☽ KILLSTAR Crop Top Review ☾

☯ Ouija Crop Top - £24.99

☯ Third Eye Crop Top - £24.99

Shipping: Free, special promo.

My order was posted 2 days after I paid for it. It arrived in 6 days which is super fast. I have bought from KillStar in the past and paid for shipping so I know it is pretty reasonable for a fast reliable service.

Item/Quality/Price:

I got a small in both and they fit me great. I paid £24.99 each, a little over $40 AUD each. I think that's great for designer shirts, the fabric is also great quality. It's pure cotton, it breathes so it's great for hot weather and is cut as a crop to expose your tummy. The designs are awesome, I can't pick which is my favourite which is why I decided to get both. The print stretches, so it shouldn't crack. I can't wait to wear these more.

Extras:

This time it came with what I think are stickers for the tag. The KillStar logo, the inverted cross, looks to be a sticker. If not I'm a label hoarder, I love using them for scrap booking. The detail of the designs is great once again, right down to the labels.

Overall:

Love these crops to death. Super excited to have them. Once again, KillStar has provided a great service. Really pleased with everything. I recommend them and hope you check them out.
