Red Sky at Night Outfit

"Red Sky at morning, sailors take warning

Red Sky at night, sailors delight"

So I was reading one of my new favorite blogs; Kalamari Kastle, and I came across a post that made me very jealous of the writer. This blog focuses on the Japanese subcultures (mainly Lolita it seems) and things relating to them such as events, stores, and products. But this is one of my most favorite post by them.

Here is is --> Clicku.

This was an event held by the San Fransisco branch of Baby the Stars Shine Bright (a major Lolita brand/store in Japan) for their sub brand Alice and Pirates. Now, I wasn't too big on the Alice and Pirates brand because I was looking more at the sweet lolita things. However, after I saw that post, I HAD and I mean HAD to make a outfit collage for it. Now, I have fallen in love with A&P because of its wonderful Disney themes and general awesomness. However, even with Etsy and Baby sites, it is really hard to find things inspired by your favorite Disneys that arn't tacky, unless your someone who likes Snow White. Personally, my favorites are Pirates of the Caribbean, Beauty and the Beast (and Imma going to have to watch it now, rawr), and Balto. Not easy to find those sometimes (aside from Pirates of the Caribbean, which is sometimes quite easy!) This is what I came up with (sticking to mostly Baby)

Top :: Baby The Stars Shine Bright

Skirt :: Baby The Stars Shine Bright

Shoes :: Baby The Stars Shine Bright

Clover Earrings :: Fanplusfriend

Ring, Tail Bag, Hat, Rings :: Etsy

I like how it looks like it would not be hard to wear yet it still fits the frillyness of the party as seen in the Kalamari Kastle post.

Oh and by the way; HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am looking forward to Chinese Food (which I think I ate too much of...), A Knight's Tale, and staying up doing art or browsing the internets for ideas. My resolutions are;

-Be a better friend to those that matter, and make new friends. I need a change from the fustration of not being able to be the friend I need to be and not finding people worth being friends to, besides the friends I rarely see who do matter to me.
-Make a routine for bloggy things. I have been in and out of my muse and that needs to also change. Also make time to reply to messages that are left to me. <3
-Find more things to do so I am not bored or sad as much as I normally am.
-Be a better daughter.
-Staying away from negativity. It is eating me ALIVE! D:

I hope you all are having a great New Years Eve! Ado!

Frustrations and Updatings!

Ajaksnsdknfdsklfnskldjffkkkkkkakakakak...orz... I haven't been good about posting have I? Well, I could explain but I am trying to make a negativity free zone in my life for the most part. However, I will say that I am really sad with a community that I am (was?) in online has forgotten me in it's move to it's own site and it hurt. I don't know what to do with my characters that I had there and you may see them eventually here. I will also say as far as real life high school class mates and teachers go, my patience is wearing and shaking. But that is about it. I need to fix up some parts in my life. That is all.

 Now enough of that, as far as this baby blog and you all go, I am making a few changes and I need some advice from the more blog experienced souls following me. I need to set some subjects and features for my blog, something that people will want to read if they ever come by this little hole. Here are my ideas...

Art - Come on? You know I love arts and crafts. I am going to try and post more art and collages as well as some new things if I get the chance.
Film - I would love to do film reviews and movie related stuff every couple of weeks. Mainly inspired by one of my favorite blogs; La Vida Frills. She is awesome. Nuff' said.
Pets - I love to talk about animals and animal related things, especially those animals that manage to be our companions.
Fashion and Lifestyle - Festivals, Lolita, LARP, Cosplay, Decora, Wicca, Hot Topic Stuff, Media, Food, and all of those special things that make life fun, and make me want to spend hours researching. I'd want to put those to good use yes?

Any other suggestions? Tips? Problems? HALP?!?!? I want to grow a bit more into this blog, but to do that, I need people to want to read it. I am also going to change up the design a bit, but I don't know what I want it to look like yet...emphasis on yet.

Well, now I feel I must depart for a heaping plate of Chinese food. Ado

A Little Bit

Welcome to my second ever Blog! My first one failed badly, due to me putting a subject on it. Soooooooo...this one obviously will not have an objective! Yayright?! I hope you like what you see!

So a little bit about me, My name is Shelby Nicolae Demona and yes that is my name. My favorite alternate names are "Shelbs," "Shelbymonster," and "Shelbyvonne." (I may, or may not, have made those up for fun hinthint) I don't mind nor care if you just call me Shelby or one of those. I am a seventeen-year-old-crazy who dwells in one of the most amazzzzzzzing states in the Americas, New York. I love the New England states and that is pretty much it. I care not for the government and know very little about it, instead I care for adventure. I would love to travel in the New England states, Britain, Scotland, Ireland, Holland, Romania, New Zealand, and Japan. I am also an artist of many talents! What do I do? I make Chainmaille, like the medieval armor yes, jewelry, ceramics, and other misc craft projects as well as sketches (mostly werewolves until I perfect humans), and write fan fictions, poems, and random writing pieces. Yes, I make a lot of art! Art is a way of life! It is addicting like the drugs other people my age spend their time doing, but much more healthy. All in all, I am an over decorated and hoodie kinda lass who loves making and collecting art, cute yet bizarre things, adventure, writing, and jewelry.

Well, that is enough about me, I am going to go eat a bagel now and get back to this later! I hope to see something come of blogging in round two! DINGDINGDING!
