Taobao Haul #15: Mini Haul - Fairytale Forest, Dream Ornaments IMENG, Komaru's Private Living, Xiaolongju Original Lolita
Darn, I missed my deadline by a day! Sorry, everyone, I was too busy yesterday to work on this post, but I had time today.
I got a mini Taobao haul to prepare for my events this year! I'm actually ahead of the game with my orders, so I only have a few odds and ends left to purchase for my first Lolita event of 2020! I can't wait to share photos with you all of my summer travels!
Let's go right into the review, shall we?
I've never been so simultaneously happy and disappointed about an item before. I love this blouse -- I think it's absolutely breathtaking and it's going to look so good with my coord. But it's such a letdown given the overall fit of the blouse and the cut is so... odd.
I've run into this issue in the past though. It's a classic case of "just 'cause it's in your size, doesn't mean it actually fits." Measurement wise, the blouse fits me wonderfully, but give that my bust isn't actually wide, but protruding, it makes the blouse tight where my chest touches the fabric, and loose everywhere else, :/
Fairytale Forest has a selection of beautiful items, but they're frequently out-of-stock. For now, I give them a 5 out of 8, with a note that maybe smaller-sized Lolitas will love their items. Visit the shop here.
I was so happy to get this hat! It's so chic and stylish, and classy, and just -- ugh, I could gush about it all day! It's much larger than I expected but absolutely lovely. Y'all don't even have to wait for the score: this is an automatic 8 out of 8 for me!
The hat comes with a headband and two alligator clips to attach it to the hair. I can't wait to wear this and create a coord that features some old-fashioned Hollywood glamour!
Don't wait, go get this. You need it in your closet. Dream Ornaments has a massive catalog of hats and headpieces in a variety of styles and colors. Check out their store with this link.
I bought these tights because I thought they were cute. I wasn't sure they were going to fit, though. Well, color me surprised, because they fit wonderfully and my thighs are so thankful!
Something about the pattern on these tights is so appealing to me. I have a couple of prints I can wear these with so I'm excited to pair these with the rest of my closet. Bonus points for being plus-size friendly!
Last, but certainly not least is my new headband from Xiaolongju Original Lolita. I ordered this piece at least three months ago, but the shop owner was out sick, so there was a delay in production. I can say that it was well worth the wait because OH MY, this intricate headpiece is absolutely gorgeous.
I love that each piece of the headband is detachable, so if I just want to wear the headband, or the feather portion alone, I can do either. The colors are also perfect for my Lolita wardrobe since 90% of my accessories are gold or feature gold hardware.

Under a JSK, no one will know the difference, and I cannot stress enough how beautiful the blouse is. I just wish I had paid the extra $20 for a custom-sized blouse as opposed to buying this one.

Damn, that hat! *.* Every time I read one of your Taobao haul reviews, I find new things and new shops, I'm not sure if my wallet can take it much longer :P
ReplyDeleteHahah, I know that feeling exactly! My wallet is struggling every day, T_T
