Adorn Your Frames

This wonderful shop is what I found looking for sunglasses and turns out that they have more to offer than just that.


These cute items are like little emblems for your sunglasses. To be honest, I had no idea that they made things like this but I am so happy to know about them now because I just love to add flair to everything and these little gems are such a fun thing to add to your glasses. They're like an accessory for your accessories! 


And not only does this shop have wonderful eye glass accessories but they make some really great  sunglasses as well. As you can see in the photo above of the purple half rimmed glasses I ordered from them, I have yet to find another pair like them and I am in love with the way they look. I get a real coachella vibe from these shades, they'd be perfect for any festival looks, and even for EDC.


They are very boho chic and go great with many different outfits. These glasses definitely get noticed when I am out and about. I really like to put the smiley face on them to give an even more "hippie" look.



I'm obsessed with the pitch black skulls that I ordered too, they give a really cool edgy look to any pair of glasses. The charms really look great on my husbands all black aviators.


This Etsy seller really doesn't miss a beat when it comes to interests, there is probably a charm for kust about anyone in this shop and not to mention their high fashion glasses. The charms and the sunglasses can make wonderful gifts for loved ones or yourself. Check them out for more of their amazing products!

Perler art for all your gaming and twitch needs



Just in time for Halloween! This poison apple perler (left) is gorgeous. It is a great replica from Disney's Snow White but in it's own design. The perler on the right is also a reference item from a show on TwitchTV that I actually have not seen yet. I still really love it and it reminds me somewhat of the dark brotherhood of Skyrim. 


 I love that these perler pieces can be used for Halloween decor but also be used year round. One of the best things about these perlers are that they are full melt. I cannot stress enough how important that is to me. This method keeps the beads nicely together and makes them more stable and less breakable. That way you don't only have to put them up in frames or anything but you can use them in other ways like fridge magnets or even on garlands. I will say though, the stem of the poison apple is a little on the weaker side and I am afraid it will not last so I could suggest adding more beads to it or if you don't want to lose the aesthetic, glue it with some strong glue. Other than that, I love these little edgy designs. They look lovely as decorations and could look really great in DIY mixed media art. This shop also has such great items that I know could make perfect gifts.

All in all though these perlers are great and this shop makes some really wonderful designs that are totally worth buying. To check out their rad creations, click here!

Handmade copper shoe wings. These unique beauties are a new kind of jewelry statement! I love the whole idea of these shoe wings and their lovely rustic and rose goldish look. They actually have a good weight to them but aren't too heavy to wear, I really like putting them on my glossy black combat boots, they give the most lovely contrast.


I always get looks of wonder when I wear these out. I'm sure that, just like me, no one has seen anything like them. 


They really add an extra wow factor to  my outfits and I just love to feel like a fairy of some kind. These take my outfits to a whole other level and would make an awesome gift for someone who likes to dress funky like me.


The quality of the wings are great, they have a nice rustic look to them and would even look great for a steampunk cosplay or costume. Though they are still a great looking for any other everyday outfit. These are made out of great quality copper, just like all of the other items in their shop.

Kawaii Decals

This shop has the best anime, and kawaii decals I have yet to see! They have so much detail and are still not too over complicated. They look like the animators drew them themselves!


This gnarly decal is of Erin in his titan form from Attack on Titan. I love the profile of this crazy looking giant and his huge toothy smile.This is a perfect look for this character. I also really love the dark maroon color that I ordered it in, it makes it look so nice and crisp.


Now here is an awesome decal of Soul from Soul Eater. This shows his outfit and sharp toothed smile and lazy attitude. This decal seems like it would be too detailed and hard to apply but it worked out just fine and the end result is perfect.


 This is Natsu from Fairy Tail, a pink haired dragon boy, which is why I ordered him in all pink. This is such a cute decal. All of these decals were extremely easy to use even with all of the details and lines I had no trouble at all applying them. They have also shown to be very secure and can definitely last a long time. I am so happy with these wonderful decals. If you're interested in seeing more of this kind of decal, click here!

Where Madness Meets Creativity

Original and nerdy perlers are made here with awesome quality and creativity. I ordered two products from Quite8bitMad and am so happy with them. 

 

These perlers are a really cool versions of my favorite character from the story of Alice and Wonderland. These two are the two different Disney versions cats of the story. The one on the left being the Tim Burton's grey and blue Cheshire version and the one on the right is the classic purple/pink Cheshire. I was very impressed with the creativity of the perlers and how wonderful they look especially since their fronts are fully melted.

(This is the back of the perler)

These perlers are made as full melts which I feel makes them very sturdy and are sure to last a long while. I would say that they are medium sized about the size of the palm of my hand. They are made to look like twins with very cheeky smirks, classic Cheshire. I really love the designs of their eyes, smile, and that they both match.

(This is the back of the perler)

This store has many other great and original designs to choose from ranging through video games, movie characters, and superheros. If you'd like to see their wonderful creations, click here!

Taylor Sewing Anime Items


If you ever wanted to make your own cosplay clothing and get it exactly right, this is the shop to go to. This shop has anime logo patches galore and when used make the perfect accurate outfits. I got a couple of patches and a shirt from Taylorsewinghandmade and could not be happier with their quality. 




The patches are from the anime Soul Eater and are exact replicas of the character "Soul's" patches on his outfit. They are just the right size and colors and if you're a meticulous cosplayer, they are perfect for you. I also got a patch of the cute chibi soul of Soul (I know, a little confusing, it's his soul inside of him and his name is Soul).


These patches are very well made and have no flaws. They are just perfect and can really make a difference when used for cosplay but can still be used as just a cool accessory for regular articles of clothing, or bags, ect. These lovely patches are a great addition to anyone's collection. 


Along with the patches, I received this awesome Ouran High t-shirt. Ouran HighSchool Host Club is definitely a good and funny anime and I am glad to have found such a unique piece of merchandise of the show. The already great patch is added to a super great quality Gildan brand shirt. I really love when people use Gildan brand tee shirts because they are way better quality than just a plain old blank shirt you get at the craft aisle at Walmart. So not only is the patch good quality but so is the shit that it is attached to.


This shirt looks great and I get asked about it by fellow anime enthusiasts quite often. This shop is a great place for many animes and some video game merch. The products are definitely worth their prices for such good quality patches and wonderful art.

Nerdy Bead Sprite Art

OtakuBeadsmith, just how it sounds, has all of your Otaku favorites in bead form! If you're a perler and/or anime fan like me, this is a great shop to visit and keep in mind if you're thinking of gifting a perler and/or anime nerd that you may know. I ordered two adorably made perler sprites of two of my favorite strong (and goofy) female characters; Sailor Moon Usagi and Peridot! These two are definitely some creative characters and stand out for sure, so it was easy settling on the two (even if it was hard to not get other perlers from this shop). 


This is the Sailor Moon Usagi bead perler of Usagi in her Sailor Scout outfit. This piece really does not miss out on any detail even with the fact that it is only made from beads. You can see all of Usagi's outfit pieces, even her tiara! This is one of the best perlers I have seen of her so it just had to be mine.


This is the Peridot perler from the show Steven Universe. I have not found any other Peri perlers so far so I was super excited to see that OtakuBeadsmith had her and other characters from the show that I have not seen as perlers yet. This is a really creative chibi looking version of everyone's favorite green space dorito, and I thought she couldn't get cuter! I am so pleased to add these two cuties to my collection.


I have to say, this is some of the best handmade perlers I have ordered, the designs are very unique and well thought. Make sure to check OtakuBeadsmith out and maybe get something for a loved one, or yourself!

~ THE EXPLODING AWESOME ~


TheExplodingAwesome, the name fits. This Etsy store specializes in these cute enamel pins. I received two pins from this shop that I am so very pleased with.


The first enamel pin I got is this whimsical "shooting star" pin. It has one post and a golden back. 


It is actually pretty large in size and has a nice glossy finish. This pin is perfect for any space babe in your life. 

*WARNING*
"STRANGER THINGS" SPOILERS AHEAD


 

This second pin is the homemade "Ouija board" that Joyce Byers from Netflix originals "Stranger Things" made to talk with her son Mike who was lost in the upside down. This was such a creative part of the show that I wish it had more development because I was just so surprised of it happening and really intrigued with the idea of the lights signally that something was there, like a ghost. (Spooky!)

 And I just love the fact that a single mother will not believe her baby boy is dead and makes a frickin "spirit wall" to talk to him! So this sweet little pin was definitely a huge must have for me and I immediately knew what it was supposed to be. 

 

These pins are super heavy and thick. The "spirit wall" pin has two posts which keeps it very steady and secure. These are made with such great quality and I cannot believe how accurate the "spirit wall" is and how good it looks on my makeup bag.


TheExplodingAwesome has many other cool pins for sale, so check them out for more of their high quality items!
