Otakon 2013 Outfits!

Actually, to be accurate, these are "The general vicinity of Otakon" outfits as I didn't actually purchase a badge this year.
Fortunately the tea party hosted again by Martha of Moss Marchen was outside the convention center. It was at the gorgeous Royal Sonesta hotel like usual. I'd really love to organize a tea there with the local community sometime, so many amazing photo locations and several beautiful tea rooms.
The theme was "royalty" this year. I originally planned on sculpting myself some gold antlers, but I ran a bit short on time, so I ended up spray-painting a crown gold and making a scepter from ribbons and a Chambord bottle (lolita booze wand!). I suppose my theme ended up "(Wonder) Party Princess".

21st Birthday Night Out

So I'm finally a full fledged adult it seems, as I just turned 21 on the 11th (I know that's not so impressive to those of you outside the US, haha). My friends helped me celebrate with an awesome night out. I went to my usual club for their old school goth night, Obscura. Everyone I knew there bought me a drink, including the DJ :)

After the club, we went to the diner and I got a tiny oreo cheesecake c:

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.

Bonnet: Chantilly

OP: Chantilly

Boots: Bordello

Fan: Vintage

Parasol: Bella Umbrella

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!

JSK: Bodyline

Blouse: Bodyline

Belt: H&M

Cravat: Handmade

Boots: Pleaser

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.

Tea and Topiary Gardens Meetup

Yesterday I went to a delightful meetup with my local community, hosted by Miss Tanya. We went to The Casual Cup in the Dulaney Valley area, and then onto LaDew Gardens. The tea was really yummy, I even tried an herbal tea that I actually like! Though black tea is still my one true leafy love.
The gardens were absolutely beautiful, despite the humidity. Fortunately, it wasn't as hot as it has been most of this summer (in the 90s-100s D: ). The Victorian garden with the black fountain and mermaid sink was my favorite, though the water lily garden was a close second. I would love to come back in more temperate weather, say...fall or early spring.

And then onto the gardens!

 

Since it was fairly nice this weekend, I thought it was a perfect time to break out my Baby "Marcia" OP. It's a velour/velvet fabric but fortunately still pretty airy. I've been waiting for a chance to wear it since this spring (I bought it, and then the heat struck).
