Mail came today!!!!! It's milky rail train!!!!!!

This took forever to come because I ordered every piece basically; and BABY/AATP does this amazing thing where every piece in a big set is released at different times. :/ It was totally worth it though. My only complaint was that I'm not a huge fan of the embroidered clocks, for the price they could have easily made them out of metal. Some clocks are, and it looks much classier.

I order this set through SS, I could have ordered it online, but I am horrible at waking up at 3am for reservations and often miss the pieces I want most. I decided not to risk it and shell out the extra 10% since I have ordered from her before and knew she was reliable. I wont give the full price of the set because to be honest plus fees shipping etc I have no idea, it was sent in multiple payments because of the whole release date things as well as exchange rate issues. Just as a marker however my initial 25% deposit was 800$ then the yen skyrocketed!!! XD

This was a Mitsukazu Mihara X Alice and The Pirates collaboration

WARNING: So sorry if this takes forever to load I do not know how to make a blogger cut, I looked it up but it basically made me do this @.@ so I gave up.

Enough Chatter on to the PIX!!

The bear was a gift w/purchase item, his necklace is a mustache that actually pins on to his nose!!



clock bag(black) there was brown option but I felt it wasn't as versatile.
Knee high socks, I have a grey and black set like this but I felt the white went better, plus at that point what's another $27


3 post card gift w/purchase for full set orders. They got a bit bent in transit :(

poster gift w/full set orders, this thing is Pretty huge

his and her coat/ caplet

they are actually one but it detaches, the big part buttons on the guy blouse and looks amazing. I would have never realized this had the dolls not been wearing it as such.


The best part about this set is that even though it seems like a one trick pony, almost all of the little pieces are detachable. It can be very elaborate or very basic, so I can see myself doing so much with it. Here are some pics of a few pieces, they all came individually wrapped in bags w/ A/P stickers and I had to use the pictures to figure out where to stick what.


the roses come off the ribbon broach

choker

belt/necklace

Bonus pic of my Yorkie melody wearing her new A/P bows

The box it came in! good thing we have an elevator

That's all for today! Stay tuned for the unveiling of the dolls post.

Running errands today, updated

So simple look for the rain and 57d weather.



surprised look so it's easier to see


E: sugarpill; after party, tako, bulletproof
Mac: gel liner
benefit: bad gal mascara 

Update later on what I got while I was out!

I got this really cute hat at the new lola by BCBG store on bay street!! They don't have a full website yet, and as far as I know there are only 5 or so stores, but if there is one near you, check it out, It's basically a classier f2, much better quality but still great prices. This hat was originally $19 but I got in on sale for $6 


Also some actual Lolita!


A lucky pack from BPN! So stay tunned for that post later on.

Finally home and It's awesome/Lucky Pack Post

That was the worst week ever, short supply of clothing, waiting on insurance and NO MAKE UP!!!

To celebrate the end of that disaster week, I did a sunset look today.


moved bangs so you can see better.

blending this was so much fun

eyes: Sugarpill:
buttercupcake
flame point
love+
poisonplum
over UD primerpotion

lips: lime crime; golden ticket, the picture washed them out but it's  like golden foil on your lips <3

Now the even more fun part!
Stood in line since 5AM to get some lucky-packs! Got everything we wanted, totally worth waking up early. This Set was 150 and included
jumper
boston bag
socks
cutsew
baret

I got the Angelic Pretty set in Pink! I originally wanted black but they sold it online and didnt have it in store. I am really glad they didn't have it though because it pushed me to get the pink. I have so much black that having some pink is very refreshing and I'm sure it will be put to plenty of use.



I love it all but the best part is the boston bag! It has so many pockets and dividers, perfect for outings. I think everyone's biggest issue with brand purses is the fact that you can fit a lipgloss and a very small cell phone. Then you better pray your dress has pockets otherwise you'll have to stuff your money and cards in your top.

front pocket

back giant pocket

inside dividers! D8



BONUS!! It also happened that they put out the re-stock of chess chocolate that day. I was extremely tempted to get the mint OP, but the gold just looked so much nicer on the dark chocolate. I love it to bits and I know I will use a skirt so much more that an incredibly formal OP. 
As a side note I was not a huge fan of this print or else I would have pre-ordered it. It was so much different in person, I totally fell in love once I actually had it in my hands.

Until Next time
