Sugar Addict Giveaway & FM-Anime Review

Yesterday I had a postie card in the mail saying that I had missed a delivery so today I went to the depot to pick up what it was that had arrived, as I had no idea what it was.

And guess what?

I had two waiting for me!

One arrived yesterday (the smaller package) & one arrived today (the bigger one).

So what were the contents of these packages you ask?

Well the small one is from Sugar Addict & the other one is from FM-Anime.

I have ordered from FM-Anime before,  I brought my Stocking  wig from there.

As for Sugar Addict, I won 2nd place in their giveaway and got to choose my favourite accessory from their online shop.

So first I will talk about my package from FM-Anime.

I ordered my Stocking cosplay & got it custom made because they do not charge extra for custom made items, which a HUGE perk!

I ordered this on the 2nd December & it arrived today, the 19th December.

That's some super-fast shipping!

When I ordered my wig from these guys they sent me an email to give me my tracking number once they had processed my order, but this time I did not receive one, so this outfit arrived completely unexpectedly.

This is the outfit safely wrapped in bubble wrap, which I will enjoy popping.

And the outfit!

It cam with the dress, headbow, back bow (which is giant!) & waist band.

The details on the dress are just beautiful!

I tried it on briefly & it fits perfectly.

Overall I rate FM-Anime a 4.5 out of 5!

Ok, now onto Sugar Addict!

This is the lovely contents of the package from Sugar Addict~

And included was a lovely letter that reads:

"Dear Aleshia,

Congratulations for winning the 2nd place in the giveaway! We hope you enjoy your prize :)

Sorry about the delay to send the package, but we wanted to wait for the other winners to send it all together. We hope you don't mind that :)

We hope to continue seeing you at our website or though our Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr accounts.

Greetings from Spain,

Sugar Addict

And this what I chose! A lovely pink & black bittersweet cupcake necklace.

The necklace is beautifully made & so detailed.

I would rate Sugar Addict Shop a 4.5 out of 5 as well~

21st Party

So Saturday was my 21st birthday party, and a great night was had by all.

My boyfriend's parents came around to make food for the party while myself, my boyfriend Stuart, & my friend Reece went & picked up our friend Joe & went on a booze run.

I wore my Holley Tea Time tights~

Sorry, but I had no make-up on, so it's just a leg shot.

Skirt: Glassons

Tights: Holley Tea Time

Shoes: Warehouse

And onto the photos~

First vessel of the night goes to... STEPHEN!
Actually it went to me, but I REALLY hate bourbon & beer so I decided to have an absinthe shot instead. 

He look so proud, but he gets so drunk!

Shitty flash lol.

Reece getting his drink on.

Bang bang, Joe~

Becky pouring out my 21 shots.

The tradition is that you do 21 shots on your 21st, starting at water & making your way up to something like absinthe.

1-10 of my 21 shots.

10.21 of my 21 shots.

I had already had quite a bit to drink before taking these & I managed to get up to shots #13 before giving up OTL

Also, I didn't do the beer.

All in all it was an awesome night & I want to say thank you to those that showed up~

Holley Tea Time Order #2 - Saturn's Wish Tights

I cam home from a lovely day out with my best guy friend, Reece, to a wonderful surprise:

My Holley Tea Time tights had arrived!
I pre-ordered these babies back in October & they arrived just after my birthday :)

This is the envelope that the tights came in.

And all my goodies safely arrived!

The tights are on the left, with Holley's business card in the middle & a super-cute Christmas card on the left.

If you look on the tights you can also see a little Saturn's Wish button badge that she kindly sent me as well.

Holley is so sweet ^w^

And the tights on (excuse fat legs lol)

I have my 21st party tomorrow night so this is perfect timing & I will be wearing these tights tomorrow night~

My Very First Lolita Co-Ord!

My boyfriend surprised me this year by telling me what my birthday/Christmas presents:

He is going to pay for my very first lolita co-ord!

I'm so friggin' excited (✿ ♥‿♥)

So I've spent countless hours on Bodyline looking at outfits & I think I finally have decided on my co-ord!

JSK in red

Blouse in white

Socks in white/light pink

Shoes in red (top right)

And when it comes to wigs I'm not too sure ( ；´Д｀) 

One of my close friends, who is also a lolita, recommended getting a brown wig because brown is a very versatile colour.

So these are some of the wigs colours & styles that I am considering:

Gothic Lolita Wigs

Lockshop

MintyMix

A Day in Victoria Square - Image Heavy

Today because it was such a lovely day & neither myself or Stuart had work so we decided to have a picnic in Victoria Square.

Victoria Square has been cordoned off for ages & has only just recently been re-opened to the public.
All around you is the red-zone, & because of this, it is eerily peaceful & quiet.

We brought bread rolls & fillings from the supermarket & walked to the square from the bus exchange. We had lunch in the square then I decided to take some photos

The blue Information symbol is where Victoria Square is, and the red parts of the map is the red-zone, the areas still cordoned off, so you can see what I meant when I said that you are surrounded by the red-zone.

Now on to my photos from Victoria Square o(≧▽≦)o 

This is where the Vic & Whale once stood.

The Town Hall

Town Hall Again

There has been this initiative going on in Christchurch called The Gap Filler Project, and their newest project is the Pallet Pavillion!
It's a small events center made out of pallets! They can host anything from concerts to plays, from parties to weddings. It is very versatile.

Plants everywhere

And from the other side

So I had a very lovely day looking around town at things I hadn't before & going to places I hadn't been to since the earthquake.

Typefettinge's Tumblr Giveaway~

Typefettinge recently held her first giveaway on Tumblr & I was very luck to be named second runner up. There were originally going to be two winners but she decided to pick three~

Once again I had to use my iPod for photos so please excuse the poor quality pictures ;A;

This is the package that I saw on my bed when I got home from work tonight~

I'm going to have so much fun with the bubble wrap!

And the contents of the package. The sweet note says:

"Thank you for playing Kathy's first giveaway! You've won: - a Lego necklace! 

Yay! Please play or shop again. Enjoy your prize!

-Kathy/Typefettinge/Arkham Accessories"

As the second runner up I got to chose anything from Kathy's Etsy shop, Arkham Accessories up to the value of USD$8, so I chose the Lego necklace! 

And this is it on me! The chain is very long but it looks so good~

And my face u.u
