Photo-post: Fashion Show, Picnic, and Renfaire.

In the beginning of this month, two lovely designers from my local community Skyler (of Candy Threads) and Tola hosted a fashion show meet at Montpelier Mansion in Laurel. They had a little runway show to display their newest designs, and then we had a potluck picnic. Though it was still a bit humid, it was still a delightful day, with lots of new faces.

I wore classic, for a change.

Last weekend, I met up with two girls from southern Maryland to go to a lolita picnic in Washington DC. We ended up splitting off from the group and having our own little picnic on the mall. The weather was perfect and Autumn-y, and we got all the fall-themed drinks from Starbucks.

 I had to represent the dark side amongst all the sweetness!

The next day, I went off the Renaissance Faire! Again, perfect weather. Much food on a sticks was eaten and good times were had by all. We also all bought these delightful little antlers from one of the shops.
