My Wish App Haul!

Things have begun rolling in on my Wish App haul! I ordered at the end of January so it has been coming in for a while, but I wanted to get a good amount before posting. So here is what I ordered and my reviews of them. Keep in mind all of these items were ordered for the RT Convention in May.

This is what I received.

Luxury Pearl Crystal Rhinestone Tassel Bridal Sash Wedding Dress Belt" yes, this is how it is listed exactly on the site. I paid $4 for it and $2 for shipping so $6 total for this sash. Now I've said in the past I'm a plus sized girl, so I made sure to read all the reviews and the measurements and it does indeed fit. I ordered #3 with the champagne colored sash. So, I love it. It's very pretty, but if you didn't like the colors of the sashes it's basically just hot glued on, you can pull off the bling and attach to the color of your choice. They had several colors to choose from. The color I chose doesn't really match what they showed me on the listing, but it's okay for me, it will still work.

I also received "Elegant Women's Ladies Faux Fur Collar Scarf Warm Warmer Shawl Stole Necklace" Okay, so this thing looks NOTHING like the photo. It looks like a tail. lol. I hate it. I really do. I mean I'll use it cause I paid $5 for this with $3 shipping. I'm considering asking for a refund that's how much I hate it.

O.M.G. This is perfection. It is titled "Hot Splendid Gatsby Hairbands Europe and America style Pearl Tassels Queen Tiara". This is the life of my Roaring 20's costume. It's an exact replica of the headband that Carey Mulligan wore in. The picture does NOT do it justice, this thing is fantastic. If I were getting married, I'd be wearing it for that. It's so beautiful. I highly recommend this. Now I did have to bend the headband a bit because it comes a little small but it didn't warp it. It just fits better. It arrived in a box. The only item I received that arrived in a box. I paid $6 for it with $3 shipping. So worth it.

I also received "1PC Hot Red Cherry Bow Hair Clip for Pinup girls Retro Vintage rockabilly Hair Band hair Accessory Cheap Wholesale". This is cute. Looks just like the photo, it's a pretty big hair clip but it will be adorable for my Rockabilly costume. I paid $1 for it and $1 shipping. Well worth it!

I also received the glasses for my Rockabilly look. I love these, they are so cute. Paid $1 with $1 shipping. They had other colors, I wanted red and black though. I do like them! I took a very funky photo wearing them that I know use on Facebook and Twitter. lol. I'm thinking of ordering the other colors. 

I also ordered a few makeup brushes, but nothing special in those. I also got a phone case for $1 that had cacti all over it. It's so cute! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my little accessory haul.

My RT Convention 20's Flapper Outfit - Plus Size Struggles

I'm a big girl. A really big girl. So when it comes to finding "costumes" that fit and look normal are very hard. I needed a Roaring 20's Flapper type costume for the RT Convention in May. There are so many beautiful options out there...if you are under a size 20. I'm not. I'm more of a size 28. As much as I try to diet, I fail. But I was able to find a few things I wanted to share!

The dress was the most important thing to me. I wanted something that covered my arms, but looked like a flapper outfit without being heavy or uncomfortable or some weird fabric. I found it in this beautiful midnight blue dress from JD Williams. I'd never heard of them before so I was exited to find a new store that catered to my size (they have a few dresses I would LOVE to have!). They had this dress in white and the blue, I chose the blue because I wanted a deep color because of my red hair. It was on sale for $26.49!! I found a coupon code that gave me about $5 dollars off and that took care of most of the shipping charges so I was very happy. I've already received it (it shipped from Europe) and it fits beautifully.

Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan 2013

Now time for accessories. I wanted a cute flapper headband but I didn't

want feathers...those things break easily. I found THIS beautiful replica of the headband Daisy wore in the Great Gatsby movies.

Wish.com. Yes. Wish.com. I know the stuff ships from China and it takes almost a month to get here, but I couldn't resist this, it's beautiful and just what I wanted. None of my Wish items have arrived yet but I'm hoping they start showing up soon. I can't wait to see everything together. Wish also had the replica ring/bracelets, but I gust knew that would drive me crazy.  I paid $6 for it with $3 shipping.

This BEAUTIFUL sash also from wish was $3 with $2 shipping also from Wish. It's a sash that ties around the middle. I felt the dress did need a little bling, and I fell in love with this. According to the listing it should be long enough to tie around my waist. Here's hoping it's right!

And last but not least was this beautiful little stole. I loved it, it's white so it will add some 20's glamour to the outfit. I certainly hope it looks as it does in the listing. It could come looking like a rat tale. lol .If it doesn't look like this I will request a refund of course, but I hope it's as beautiful as it's supposed to be.


I've been considering getting a hand fan, the kind that folds out, I haven't found one that I like yet, and I can't afford a beaded purse, soooo....I'm not quite sure yet. lol. I haven't found shoes yet either.I already have full length gloves and a set of long pearls.


What do you think? Will I be 20's enough?

RT Convention 2017 in Atlanta

So excited to be going to the RT Convention 2017 in Atlanta. There will be over 800 authors and free books and book signings and contests and soooo much more! I can't wait. I couldn't afford to stay at the convention hotel, but I found a sketchy little hotel I could afford so it will allow me to go for the full week hopefully.

Now I have to plan for all the events, there is a rockabilly party, and I think I already have the perfect dress, I just need to get it. lol. There is also zombie party which I probably won't dress up for, as makeup and things like that just irritate my skin. It's a bit pricey to go but for me it's probably a once in a lifetime thing. If you want to pay my way however just email me! lol. I'm just kidding, I've always been one to pay my own way.

Things I plan on doing to prepare:

• Make some cute little business cards to hand out.
• Make a nice sized photo to take and have all the authors sign it so I can frame it and hang it.
• I might buy this Cherry dress I found but it's pricey. 
• Try to gather as many Uber credits as I can.
• Lose about 50 pounds (hahahahahahahaaaa)
• I might have to rent a scooter as my legs are all jacked up.
• Dig out all my SHUTTERFLY luggage tags
• Find comfy shoes.
• Buy mace....
