Hello Lovelies, I went to Birmingham yesterday to do some lace shopping. I haven't been to Birmingham for quite a while now, and I really needed some lace to finish a lolita alice bow I was making.
A few weeks ago, I brought these nail polish from BarryM to celebrate the finishing my projects. ❤
(Yes, I will give myself little excuses to go shopping)
The colours are super pretty and pastel ❤ , they also dried so much quicker then I expected, I used the silky pink and mint as the base and then used a lilac polish also from BarryM for the dripping syrup. At first I thought of being adventurous and also do little sprinkles on it, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time.
Anyway, back to my trip to Birmingham, I got to Birmingham quite late as I was having lunch and was also shopping around Bullring. I finally went to the Rag Market to find some of the lace after walking around Bullring, The Rag market is such a nice place to get some lace, although there are lace that are really bad quality so you have to be really careful, there are also a lot of materials that could be used for lolita like ribbon.
The next bit I went to was a little shop not too far from the market called Fancy Silk Store, they have lots of fabrics and materials that are perfect for lolita. But since I still have lots of fabric that I haven't used over the years, I didn't get any fabric. But it is still a really good place to take a look at all of the fabric, the thing I love about them is that they have a little basket at the back of the store that have lots of fabric samples that students can take. For poor students like me, 5 samples is all I need and happy accept for free!
Even though it doesn't look big from the outside ,there are actually 3 floors full of fabrics~ Just look at all of the fabrics❤
After shopping for all the lace I wanted, I went back to Bullring and shop a little more before heading back to the China Town to get some cute snacks and Pockys.
Bags of laces I brought from the Rag Market~ ❤
These two are my favourite lace I found from the Rag Market, they are 1 for 3 metres, the swan lace is perfect for a swan printed fabric~❤
I also found this amazing fabric in the Rag Market and although I still have lots of fabric at home, I just couldn't resist this holographic foil. I have so much things I want to make with it, a skater skirt, bows or even a dress? ❤ I am so happy that I found it, I've always wanted some holographic garments~
And here are some of the snacks I brought from China Town~
Banana Flavoured Pockys... Milk Flavoured Pockys... Almond Pockys....❤
And that is the end of my trip to Birmingham~
