Mermaid

Mermaids. I've just been in love with mermaids. Everything about them. Because of this, I've been scouring Etsy for mermaid related items. So many wonderful mermaid-y things! Be sure to click the links below the images and visit the shops. Even beyond the mermaid things, the shops have so many great things. Such talented people!

Now, for the mermaid-iness!

I'm off to dive into an ocean and grow scales. Or something along those lines.

The Blogger Programme


The Blogger Programme is having a contest for a voucher to a favourite brand! Which is cool. I am a part of the Blogger Programme, but I haven't done too much with it as of yet, because I want to do more posting before getting involved with other brands. I'm thinking about joining as Grimm Fabrications as well as myself, because it could be fun. After all... why not? Carpe diem...

To be clear, The Blogger Programme is a UK based community that matches fashion bloggers with different labels and different brands. It works out to be a win-win situation, depending on how much a blogger writes about a brand, and how popular the blogger is. I definitely want to be involved more, and probably will. Especially as I work towards doing more fashion blogging...

Plans!

What will I be working on over the next couple of months? A few things. A lot of cosplay. I'm going to be making at least two lovely costumes, maybe more. Here's the plans thus far.

Elven Aristocrat
This will involve lots of whites and blues, and watery looking silks and satin. A simple silver circlet, and a nice long cloak. A long dress, with lots of pleats. And, the piece de resistance, a breast piece made of chain and clear scale mail. I'm hoping that it will be beautiful. It should be. A lot of work  is going to be put into it.

Steampunk Mermaid
I'm creating a character who is a mermaid in transition towards becoming a human. The costume will consist of mermaid scale leggings, a bustle skirt with a long tail (made of ribbons and tulle), a corset (with shell and pearl details), a net shawl (to look like a fisherman net), a collar/choker (embellished with similar details to the corset), a mermaid-y wig, and a few other small things. Also, because it's a mermaid out of water, there will be a water respirator (because how else will she breathe on land?), and maybe some water-filled goggles. Kind of Abe Sapien-ish, but not quite. I think it's going to be cool.

These are the things I'll be working on for the next few months, along with a few other things. All Grimm Fabrications stuff. Because... yes. I need to. I want to. And it's going to be amazing.
