Blacked out and preordered the new Breath of the Wild vinyl collection (releasing 2026).
There's also a 2LP set:
Via Nintendo.
Part of the reason I'm still obsessing over getting the Master Edition of the game release is because it comes with a CD of some of the music. I imagine it's probably what's on the 2LP set, if not similar. And now there's a whole vinyl collection?! Ugh, FINALLY, we're SO late on this, but it's better than never!!!
Debated between the two, but there's enough music that I like on the 8LP set that justified getting that over 2LP. PLUS, these are gonna look so fab on display. 💜💜💜🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Thee Sailor Moon art book is out to the public, and the deluxe edition has been put up for sale on the official fan club, and I suh-wear I hate ordering anything on there cuz
(This translates to a $79.29 USD total charge, according to what's now on my card.)
Shipping being more than the actual book...aight man.
But anyways I got my pink ink and special lil cover I GUESS!
I also straight up fell asleep before these released at 11pm EST, so the standard edition was sold out, but that's fine cuz I was aiming for the deluxe anyways. According to the Sailor Moon Fan Network (bless them, fr), the fan club is the only place to order the deluxe edition directly if you're not in Japan. Otherwise, it'd probs be an import through a proxy. So...I guess I paid the price of convenience. :')
Also, in preparation for the release, an email actually went out to the fan club Monday night. It was that serious.
Omg my Tiger, Tiger volume one physical came in 😭😭
It's BIG and HEAVY!! It's the one crowdfunded through Hiveworks, not the Seven Seas release. I didn't even know there'd be a second version, but I would've picked this one anyways since it's uncensored. (Nothing major, just shows the nipples on female-presenting breasts. 🤣🤣)
Didn't even get a shipping notif for it, so it's like a late prezzy.
I was just thinking about this the other day, too! How fab.
These are so fucking sick, I'm so glad I irresponsibly caved on these lmaooo 💜
The Martine Ali x Converse Chuck 70 De Luze Wedge sneaker. (Bought for $160 USD, $174.20 USD total after taxes.)
I buy everything from Martine Ali except its actual jewelry 😭😭 Literally got a bag and magazines by it—no chain, smh. And mind you, learned about it through a scorpion chain it released in like...2017/2018. Eventually, I will get to it, though. And Converse NEVER sees me, but it got me here by association.
The shoes also come with a detachable leg warmer-esque piece that snaps onto them (and zips on your leg) and makes them more waterproof. Gonna be so perf for when I find out the right size of mini skirt I need. And can confirm they're thick calf friendly (to a point) cuz it has a stretchy middle and I had no issues putting it on. But being real, I'm probs gonna wear em without it most of the time.
Also, the sizing info said to get half-a-size down, since they run big, for your actual size, but I say no, get your normal size and use that half-inch for insurance on the platform. Same thing with the Draculaura boots, my foot slid down and was thankfully still comfortable since I had the room.
Every Black Friday season, my shopping randomly takes on a theme. This year it was shoes. 😮💨😮💨
(Thank you to my dining room chair for modeling. 🫰🏾)
Y'all. This is. EASILY. My new favorite jacket.
The techniques used across it are soooooo sway, I really feel like I'm wearing art. All the little details and touches like the Hypland logo on the buttons, the rings on the sleeve, the "Gotta Go Fast" near the right pocket....whew, Hypland's design team did their big one with this jacket. Nothing else is touching it, I fear.
And yes! These were put up online for a 6-8-week pre-order period. Yes, I do have mine a mere 2-weeks after I ordered that same day! Hypland said on its Twitter account that some orders may be fulfilled sooner, as it'd tap into leftover New York Comic Con stock for them. And ya girl was blessed with ~just that~ 🤭🤭🤭 (Yes I'm being annoying about it to my friend who's gonna have to wait the remaining 4-6-weeks minimum lololol)
This is my first Hypland order, and honestly, I love it. I'm SO glad I cross-referenced its size chart with the one for another varisty-style jacket that I have from a different brand. I got it a size up from it so I could actually button it up over my breasts, since I can't really do that with the other jacket 👉🏾👈🏾 (I can but it doesn't look seamless like I want it to. I'm considering selling the one I have, and then reordering it a size up. Which was the original size in my order, before I sized down thinking it'd be too large 😭😭) This one's still long on the sleeves for me, but that comes with the territory. The important thing is that I'm cozy in it.
I also picked up the jersey from the same collab, in white!
(It's a bit harder for me to show, lol.)
It's my first ever jersey and it's just so freaking cute. I'm such a sucker for good embroidery, and the "Gotta Go Fast" on the year in the back really got me. I dead got this color cuz I felt like the embroidery showed better on it, too. I'm sooo glad it fits me exactly how I wanted.
See, this is what I would've worn to the Mario vs. Sonic Olympic Games!
This lady dead forget she had me in heels as a baby, like ma'am I'm not new to this I'm true to this!!! I've only been on this flat earth cuz I've been w*rking and been fell out of love with the boots I've had for 10+ years.
ANYWAYS, these have been on my list for a while, and I caved and got em at 50% off during YRU's Black Friday sale. LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS AND GET THEM A SIZE UP FROM YOUR USUAL! I'm a 6, read through them, copped a 7, and THANK GOODNESS I DID! You need that extra inch for how your foot is gonna shift when you stand up. It was so comfortable when I tried them on, too, but obvi I'll give y'all an update when I actually wear them out with the fit I have in mind...come spring? Yeah, let's shoot for spring.
I also got them a size up since as a fat girlie, my calves are a bit thicker. And once I lace these up properly, they'll actually zip. (I wasn't gonna be doing all that during a try-on, tuh.) Advice I also got from the reviews—READ THE REVIEWS ON EVERYTHING!! Not to go off on a tangent but reviews are literally "I did this so you don't have to" like READ THEM! These shoes are final sale, too, so imagine how stressed I'd be if they didn't fit me right now. Not catching ME slipping, know that!!
But yeah, I've wanted these Draculaura boots for a hot minute. (Not even "inspired", bro, these just straight up her boots, I've stared at comparison pics of her Generation 1 design and these for sooo long, so I know!) I also have my eye on Clawdeen's and Ghoulia's, but...I think this might be it for me from the collab. What's really topping Draculaura, like??? WAIT NO THE ELISSA BAT ALL-BLACK BOOTS AND THEN THAT'S THAT! Let's see if YRU does a Valentine's Day sale. 🤭🤭
Wanted these darlings in time for Barbie, but I wasn't keeping track of it enough to make it 😅😅 Oh well, still scooped em up for Black Friday. My first pair of Timbs—and Jimmy Choos! Am I officially an NYC girlie now 🥺🥺🥺
Dust bag and box. Def thought I took a better dust bag pic, but I packed everything away now and am too lazy to get another. ☺️☺️☺️
Also!
Gonna be hitting the site up again to get its boot cleaning kit. Since it'd actually work with these, ya know. Not like I'd wear em soon. Into the closet it goes with my Jordans and satin Sailor Moon sneakers. 😮💨🤧
Hopped on the Hypland Discord for 2.863-seconds to get the early access code and cop my jacket (+ a cute lil jersey as a treat) by the 12pm release time 😌😌😌
Heart was thumping all mfing day thinking about what I'd do if I didn't get the jacket................ Now I just need some of the Sonic collab chains from another brand, and the fit is fitting itself!
Bless up I can finally shut up about this until it comes and I get my pics off. 😗
The fashion peeps I follow on the bird app once again reminded me of how you're not supposed to hang knitted clothing (it'll stretch), meanwhile, all my cardigans are hung. :') I've known this for a while but simply don't have an extra drawer handy to fold them all instead. 😅😅 And keeping them in a random bin will deter me from wearing them because that'll be extra effort to store and take them out. Lol. I try to mediate them being hung by sparingly using them instead. 😗
I don't have a single pic of me in it but I wore this all last week, and the way it's unironically one of the best hoodies I own.
(Pre-ordered at $60 USD from Mattel Creations back in July. Literally after I got home from watching the movie.)
The fit and elasticity are just right. The hood is big enough for my beanie AND headphones, AND THEN SOME! Easy on, easy off. The outer texture and lining just right. It's eff Mattel 5ever but it did sumn with this one...
I'm about to have the FUNNEST time filling up those albums I got from my friend. 🥰🥰🥰
Totes forgot to get a carrying case for it but that's fine loool. Gonna search one up and get it soon. 😤😤😤 Mostly happy that the listing I found offered up the full-body case! And obvi new new, never opened, never used.
I really thought these were recent, but no, they're 2014, apparently??? And the film they come with is good until March 2024! Like how amazeee, this get was timed perfectly for me!!!
Thee cardigans from Clammy Heart finally came in, and I am beyond over the moon with them.
Look how freaking cuteee!!!
I thought the moon bunny one would be my fave fave, but the soot sprites one is just so beyond charming?? All the lil buds going for their snackies 🥺🥺🥺
And y'all. Can we talk for a moment on intentionality in clothing design?
Like on the real, a great distinction for a quality product is how images match up on the seams. If a pattern is irrationally cut off, that's usually a sign of little thought put into it and/or a fast fashion product. You've probably seen this a million times and never noticed. But check the pics of the cardigans. Look at how the patterns are placed around the seams for the sleeves and the pockets.
Nah. Just look at this front-and-center moon bunny:
(It doesn't appear like this in the pic of me wearing it cuz I wrapped it since I didn't wanna button it up.)
See how the pattern was edited so that while the bunny is cut off by the border, it stops and starts damn near perfectly? THAT'S ATTENTION TO DETAIL! THAT'S CARE!! THAT'S A PRODUCT WORTH GETTING!!! (And yes babes it IS 100% cotton, you already knewww~)
Y'all don't even understand how elated I was in seeing that 🥰🥰🥰 Clammy Heart, y'all did the thing fr. I wanted these cardigans for about a year, waited another year to get them after the pre-orders went up, and I could not be more pleased. Honestly, truly. I'm gonna have these for as long as I can. I'm cursing this heat wave for keeping me from wearing them now!
And I v much enjoyed my lil granny candy treat 😌😌😌 And omg, y'all. On its order fulfillment forms is written the person who packed it, and mine was done by the owner/designer! It was honestly the cutest little touch that wrapped this all up in a perfect bow.
Like this is so adorable I low-key wanna keep it like it's their autograph?? 🤣🤣
(July 17, 2022 on the order date. I was nawt joking about this being a year-long process. 🥺💜)
I know these were tough orders to fulfill, so my heart goes out in full gratitude to the CH team. Dreams came true with this perseverance and dedication. 🥰🥰🥰
Shop with them!!! I ain't missed with them yet. Berets, a blanket (of which I should've bought two 😩😩), a sweatshirt and patch, and these cardigans. Tens across the board. 😤😤
Pre-ordered "The Spot" variant of the Spider-Verse vinyl earlier this morning.
I also liked "The Anomaly" variant, and may pick that up from eBay somewhere down the line since it's exclusive to Europe and Asia-Pacific territories. But it'd really only be for looks, so I may not. More importantly,
I cannot wait to hear Miguel's theme on vinyl. 🥺🥺 It's my favorite piece of music across the whole movie. Second is Gwen's starting drum solo. Itches my brain good.
Also, gotta loop back around and get this for the first movie.
