speaking of taobao... my haul, the third!

Yep, it's the fruits of my long awaited Taobao Spring/Summer spree time!

 C-c-cute cancan-esque hat! Now it really feels like summertime! So 

glad this didn't get damaged en route, these guys are so fragile. TaobaoNow is

 usually quite thorough in their packing, it seems.

  Platform Pumps from Coconuts. The bows are actually clip-on, 

andcame with an extra set in a different color if you want to change 

them up!They look a lot more painful to walk in than they are, especially

 for someone clumsy like me, hurrr. They even came with nonsense

Japanese phrase "それはである" hh

 

Look at this dapper fellow! Not Peter Rabbit... Pyotr Bunny? I dunno.

But he & this top are super cute! I like the puffy bat wings -- if

they're puffy, are they still bat wings? -- and the ties at the hem.

 

This slip dress actually came with Pyotr Bunny as part of a set,

since the top is translucent. It's a bit hard to see from the photo,

but it's got a multilayered tulle bottom with a subtle floral pattern.

Very lightweight lacy button-up. Looks like it'd be kind of

scratchy, but it's perfectly comfortable. Very airy. I wore this

to work with a white cami underneath.

 

AAAAHHHH. This was probably my favorite item, but it's kind of

like a doll sweater on me, and looks way too tight... sigh. Too 

much shoulder and boobage on my end to make this work (sob)

Let's have a picnic with the Wizard of OZ! I'll wear my ruby

slippers.

  

These are 'Barbie' shorts and are labeled as such! & It's my fault for 

not paying closer attention to the measurements, but these really feel like they 

were made to fit a lady of Barbie proportions.

Love Tutuanna socks.  I got two pairs and have been washing

'n wearing quite a bit -- I hope I don't wear them out too fast,

because they're lovely and go so well with so many things!! The Tutuanna 

socks I bought waaay back in the Fall of 2008 when I was living in 

Japan are still doing just fine, so I have high hopes for these.

 

SPARKLESATCHEL, how I hath longed for thee! Unfortunately,

the buckles on the bottom of the bag  (which were for mostly 

aesthetic purposes anyway, who has time to unlatch your bag

every time you need to dive into it for something?!) were not firmly

attached, but rather snapped on... and both have already vanished

into the ether. 

     

 Dotdotdot all day long.... comes with belt and bow tie, whoo!

I am a British schoolboy! (Not quite)

 Long sequined bow necklace! This came with Mr. Bunbun and

the slip dress set.

 Aaaand definitely going for a lovely marine look with these

breezy polka-dot pants.

That said -- ahh, warm weather! Being landlocked right now I would love to go on a boat ride somewhere and really feel the sea breeze, sigh. As long as my straw hat doesn't blow off, I think I'll be OK.
