I was a teenage fairy

I just love this wig. I badly need to pick up some wig detangler spray, though! Poor thing. Although I kind of like the slightly crazy/messy look going on here.

Rainstorms are supposed to continue throughout the week; great for my plants, not so great for those of us who drive a scooter. Yikes. But I thought I would take advantage of the super green yard and break between storms for a little fairy-inspired photoshoot.

I found this dress on Etsy sometime around NY Fashion Week when I was so into the Marc Jacobs dreamy dresses and pale yellows. My favorite part about it is the tiny covered buttons and scalloped lace. I also finally bought a camera remote, which is totally obvious in most of these photos! Oops.

  12. Oooh, in that wig you remind me enormously of the faerie on the original jacket cover of Holly Black's 'Tithe'...have you read it? Another great teen adult faerie/fantasy read!

    I love the dress, delicate and the colour is very feminine. Your pixie cut looks wonderful with the collar/neckline. Cute!

  13. you know, the wig looks wicked on you, but i just can't get over how amazing your hair looks in that style!
    it suits you absolutely perfectly, and i don't think you could say that about too many people with a pixie cut.
    you're lucky to have hit upon it, really. i'm definitely still searching!

  15. Helen: Ahaha thank you! Trust me, if I could afford long blue extensions I would be all over this.

    Magatha-May: That's such a compliment to me! I think our faces are kind of similar and the bright hair just pushes it over the edge, haha.

    kater: HAHA that is amazing!! I swear I favorited and stared at it off and on for hours that day, and then just went for it. I would have been totally okay if you got it first though!! <3

    Amanda: They do! It's a spray for synthetic wigs and I really, really need to pick some up. It's just been sitting on my mannequin, but it's still so tangly.

    Diane: You really do! I highly recommend wigs, they change your whole attitude.

    pkjb: <3! I'll be dressing as her soon, so yay!

    Eyeliah: Do it!

    Haley: <3 <3

    golightlycat: I haven't read it but now I totally will. I love recs in that genre. :D And thanks!

    Leah: Thank you so much!! I definitely love it short.

    Diana: Ahh thank you! I think I have such a weirdo face, but I really do look so different with the wig.

  16. The wig is amazing! Can you put it up in pigtails? Cause I think it would look really cute in pigtails with a slight school girl look.
