Small Shop Love: Etsy

Hey lovelies, in this post I want to talk about a few other small Etsy shops that I've had a pleasant experience with. I've shopped with some of these places once or twice, but they are definitely worth writing about! 

This Etsy shop has got to be the most cutest-magical one yet! If you aren't following her, then what are you waiting for? Here is her IG: @bumble_and_be Sophie has got to be the most talented human being ever! Look at how cute her crochet beasties are! *screaming* I ordered Willow (my house elf) and Winnie the pygmy puff sometime last year, the pygmy puff was for my mom. 

(Shown above) Sophie packs her products so beautifully and neat, you can tell that she puts lots of love and time into what she does and I adore that 100%. I was so happy when I saw that she threw in a free book flower and book pin for me:) The pin is on my pinboard and the flower is on my merch shelf.

This was my second order from her shop and I went more crazy with this one, I ordered the set of 3 house elf pins, a crochet hat and scarf for Willow (my house elf), a print and my very own pygmy puff! I was super happy when she threw in a bookmark along with another book flower for me! That made my day. I also love her packaging and the little book-page confetti that she includes. 

Sophie always has such beautiful pieces in her shop, I love how she is always raising money to help lots of charities as well, this is something that I truly admire. I also love the cute little notes that she includes in her boxes! I am so grateful that I got to adopt 3 beasties from her shop! I definitely plan on making more purchases in the future. So what are you loves waiting for? Go and check her out!

Next we have an Etsy shop called, LoveForPixieDust, I came across this shop while randomly browsing Etsy. She sells the most cutest straw buddy's! I had purchased a Harry Potter one and a poison apple one, I'll add a photo later. Their IG is: @loveforpixiedust

They are super cute! And I love how magical they make my coffee or drinks feel:)

Now how can we pass up something Luna Lovegood related? I randomly came across this shop and when I saw this shirt, I knew that I had to buy it! The shop name is friskypeaches, they had no social media listed. This shirt is in an XL in case you were wondering, I like my shirts big, but it's all according to your preference.

TEAM KAVINSKY! Now who else is obsessed with To All The Boys I've Loved Before? Well I came across an Etsy shop that sells his hoodie! They print it of course, due to that, it does take some time to ship and arrive to your door. This shop is based in Madrid, Spain and I had a very pleasant transaction, they were very prompt on communicating things regarding my order. It fits great and it is super comfortable! They do have a site https://www.basedtees.com and a Facebook page as well. The shop name is: Frayel.

Who doesn't love a good coffee cozy? I have been a tad bit obsessed with these lately and I plan on getting more from other shops as well! This one is from a shop called AffordableEarz on Etsy, the price was amazing! She also sells fandom ears for a very reasonable cost, hence the name lol. Be sure to check her out!

Here is an up-close view:)

Guys, if you couldn't tell, I have an obsession for crochet things haha! I ordered this super adorable house elf from a shop called AutumnLeavesStitches, this seller was absolutely fantastic regarding communication! She kept messaging me if anything changed, she messaged me with different yarn options etc. This is what I look for whenever I make a purchase! Constant communication and great customer service. She shipped this pretty fast and it was way bigger than I thought, I was super happy when she arrived! I love the little sock that she added as well:) Her IG is @autumnleavesstitches

And last but not least, I made this purchase last year, but I do hope to make some more eventually! This shop has such beautiful coffee cozies and the owner is so sweet! I ordered the Harry Potter cozy for me and The Little Mermaid one for my sister as a gift, she loved it! I had a pleasant experience with this seller and I adore her shop, you guys should definitely check her out. Her Instagram is @wanderlustbee

Look how cute they are! You guys need to check her out!

Femme De Bloom Shop: Review

Hey lovelies, in this post I want to talk about how important it is to support small businesses. I adore all things fandom related! I came across this astounding shop from a fellow follower and friend on Instagram, I couldn't resist and I purchased not one, but 3 pairs of earrings (pic shown above). After that purchase, I made so many more, these are not even all of the earrings that I own from Melanie's shop:) I have a whole bin full, LOL! https://www.shopfemmedebloom.com

On the top left you will see these stunning poison apple earrings, if you're not familiar with the poison apple, it's from Snow White. They complimented this costume so well, I had so much fun with this cosplay! On the right you'll see earrings of the infamous Maleficent! She is the villain in Sleeping Beauty! I admire Melanie's craft and hard work that she puts into her items. Her shop is so much fun to browse and she has something to suit almost anyone!

Here is a big purchase that was made about 4 months ago, I couldn't help myself, she was having such an amazing sale and I went a bit crazy, she often has sales in which she'll give an amazing promo code, as well as freebies! Now we all love freebie's, don't we? 

I adore this Mickey & Minnie Broach that I snagged as a freebie! I got so many compliments on it, if you couldn't tell, this was my Valentine's Day outfit. How cute is it?! My cardigan is from Rue 21, just in case you were wondering. Oh, I forgot to mention, I am also wearing her Minnie Mouse Donut  drop earrings as well! These were another freebie that I scored with my order!

Eep, I cannot get over the cuteness of these Mickey with his Santa hat earrings, this was one of my favorite looks.

This is Halloween, Halloween, (ok I got a bit carried away there lol) now if you're a big Nightmare Before Christmas fan like I am then you'll absolutely love these earrings! One side is Jack and the other is Sally. 

Here are another pair of cute earrings, it's Jack with his Mickey ears *melting heart*

How can we forget Oogie Boogie? I couldn't wait for these to get restocked, as soon as they did, I had them in my cart haha!

Now loves....I have a MAJOR sweet tooth and when I saw these earrings in the sale section, I just had to snag them!

If you're a fan of Toy Story and you've seen the fourth one.....then what are you waiting for?! You absolutely need to snag these Forky earrings! You'd be crazy not to, he is such a cutie, not to mention such a lovable character.

I love these little collar pins that she sells! This purchase was a must! I don't have many clothing items with collars, however they do make a nice addition to any jacket, sweater, shirt etc.

Feeling spooky? These Haunted Mansion earrings are a MUST! They're even Mickey shaped, need I say more?

And last but not least, BABY YODA *cries internally at his cuteness* this little guy has stolen my heart OMG! When Melanie announced these, I made sure that I got them ASAP HAHA!

Harry Potter, BUT Make It Fashionable

Hey lovelies, it's been a hot minute since I've updated this blog, I wanted to share a few Harry Potter pieces that really stick out to me. The first thing that I want to share with you loves is this Gryffindor sweater, I got it from Hot Topic. It's super comfortable and I love the fact that it has my house name on the back, no worries, they have all houses. 

This golden snitch necklace is super gorgeous! The golden Harry Potter rings are from Hot Topic as well. Here is a close up of the sweater. I adore the Gryffindor patch!

 Here is the back of the sweater, I love the font and the attention to detail. Did I mention that it has a hood? How cool is that?!

I love how the front has a v shape, I prefer my tops or sweaters that way:) 

 This outfit is the perfect cosplay! If you want to go as a student for your house, Hot Topic has house themed skirts, embroided with your house name and they fit so well. My size is an XL just in case you were wondering.  I got the tie from Ebay and the time turner from Hot Topic, as well as the headband.

GUYS, I really didn't need a book bag haha! But this one is Luna Lovegood themed, do I need to say more? I got it for less than $20 from Hot Topic, I'm not sure if they still carry it. But it is definitely roomy:) 

 My boots are from Boscov's, I have them in black and brown.

 Loungefly always has the best fandom bags! My sister purchased this wallet and backpack for me as a gift! This bag retails for around $50 and the wallet retails for about $35. I love the attention to detail on these items! Especially the spectraspecs on the zipper.

 Now this look wouldn't be complete without this gorgeous dress! I got this Luna themed dress at Hot Topic. I also got my spectraspecs' necklace at Hot Topic as well.

This is another Luna bag that I got, it is from Loungefly as well, but it's sold at FYE. It was around $50, I love this design and it definitely has a decent amount of space.

HOT TOPIC FANDOM CLOTHING ALERT!

 Now who doesn't love The Nightmare Before Christmas let alone Tim Burton? This gorgeous-comfy dress is from Hot Topic and I bought a lot of these dresses when Hot Cash was on, that always comes in handy;) This dress is a little short though, lol so I just wore spandex underneath. It is really comfy though and totally Spooky season approved. The headband is also from Hot Topic and I'm just obsessed!

Here is a full body view and a view of the back, PUMPKIN KING-HOW COOL IS THIS?!

These combat boots were the perfect thing to pair with this dress!

And now for our precious Sally! I have wanted this dress for a long time, so I finally snagged it with my Hot Cash, let me tell you-I surely got some great deals!

 

Here is a full body view, the best part about this dress is that it has pockets! That definitely gets an A+ from me!

Another precious character that I'm in love with is....LILO! She is too precious and I cannot get over this dress! I wore it on vacation back in August, what perfect place to wear this other than the beach? It is airy, flowy and lightweight-perfect for the beach:)

 

 Of course, Stitch had to tag along haha:)

This HoneyDukes candy bowl and shirt are also available at Hot Topic, however I am not sure if the shirt is still in stock:) so you can check in store or on the site. The bowl is new, I think that they released it for Halloween, but I just bought it as a great addition for my collection!

Fun Halloween Decor, Collectibles, & Merch Finds!

Ok! So Five Below has the cutest stuff in for Halloween, however, they are starting to clear everything out for Christmas. I am so sorry about being behind on this blog, I have been super busy with Halloween content for my social media:) I hope that you loves are enjoying my Halloween series so far. 

These super cute Squishmallows are only $5 at Five Below! They had lots more, but these are the ones that I snagged.

They also had these super cute Nightmare Before Christmas socks! The pack was $5, which is totally not bad, these are so comfy! 

Look at the cute designs!

OK SO WHO DOESN'T LOVE HOCUS POCUS?! I got these from Spirit Halloween! They were apparently an exclusive, yet not many stores have them, so I got this online. 

And how cute is this shadow box?! Spirit Halloween always gives out 20% off coupons, so this came up around $10.

Another amazing find were these Harry Potter signs at Spirit Halloween as well! They each came up around $8 with my coupon!

Can we talk about these TOTALLY SPOOKY AND CUTE trinket jars?! I got them at Hot Topic for only $10! I had a coupon and some rewards to use up, so I wanted to snag these.
