♡ Melanie Martinez CRYBABY Tour NYC ~ Experience, Outfit, Photos + more! ♡

Hi lil'buns!

So before I begin talking about my experience at this wonderful concert, I must include a little segment of what Melanie's' music, aesthetics and personality mean to me.(Though I assume most of you reading this do lolz).

So Melanie Martinez is a popular musician who recently gained much fame after becoming one of the finalists on the voice in 2012, and has since released 2 albums "Dollhouse"! 

She has since gained more fans and recognition through her newest album from 2015 CRYBABY album centered to her ever blooming style and baby aesthetics.

I first came to know more about her shortly after the release of her music video Carousel (video link) and came to LOVE her after Pity Party's release. I recently found out that Carousel was used in a trailer for AHS: freak show --which I've watched and wasn't aware of somehow? Haha anyways! 

Little after getting more into her music, her CRYBABY album was released and I was so incredibly happy because her music is so unique!

Other than great music she releases, I also love love love her aesthetics. As someone who loves to wear pastel 24/7. She uses the pastel theme to advantage of adding her own style (baby theme), which work together so perfectly.

She embraces and is all about a childlike/baby theme. In other words I love that she really stuck to her own style and theme, and didn't become another clone being produced in the music industry. 

I'm sure there's more back story as to how and why she was able to, but its always nice to see a new artist express themselves through their music and not be tied down to limits made by their labels etc.

I found out about her Tour around November of 2015 and tickets for tour officially went on sale on December @12am (I had an email subscription to remind me lolz). 
I remember it was like a Thursday of Friday (basically the weekend) and having the page for the tickets open and once it was midnight *ding!* bought my ticket! I'd be seeing her on March 24th '16!

 I figured her tickets to perform in NYC would sell out if I waited to buy them --which they did! I was so glad to have bought mine on time and secured a chance at getting to see her in concert!

My outfit!

For my outfit to the concert, I knew I wanted the colours Baby pink, light blue black and white to somehow be incorporated into my outfit.

So I went with this look:

To The Concert!

I got lined up around 4pm, despite trying to get there earlier. But I managed to get to the front of the concert (about the 4th row) and I had a clear view of Melanie and her adorably set up stage! 

The concert was to begin at 7, but started a little closer to 7:30 which is ok! The opening band was pretty good, but people were getting impatient for Melanie.

A little before she begun performing, the audience suddenly turned into the closest thing I've experienced to a mosh pit! They were pushing and shoving and among the crowd my friends and I somehow migrated a little closer to the stage. 

Some people got pulled out of the crowd and I was witness to a fight...It was really crazy but all the more for an awesome experience!! From what I know, no one was seriously hurt. But one girl with asthma problems, i think she was having an attack, was taken to first aid. 

The stage was set up very adorably with Melanie's signature baby theme and a beautiful lighting scheme; a blue violet with devil red flashes which matched the beats to the song. Simple lighting but the stage props were all I was hopping for.

Speaking of her appearance was so cute! I had heard from others who attended her earlier concerts what it would be, but nonetheless i was still excited for it. 

She climbed out of a baby bed/court when the first song begun playing which was Crybaby. She basically rolled out of it as one side fell to the ground, stood up and begun singing right away. 

During breaks of the song is when she said a few greeting and a proper lengthier one after the first song. She said she'd been super busy with her tour but excited to be here with us aww~

She is actually very smol in person, I was kinda surprised?? I feel like this enables her to pass off with her style with more ease than if she were taller. Speaking of her style, I LOVE the material of the dress she wore. Had the style/cut been a bit different i'd have waned to own one. She pulled it off really well!

One thing about the entire experience with stood out to me the most, was how diverse the audience was! I saw people of all ages, backgrounds and ethnicity's' & races there. It really touched and amazed me how many different people she has come to inspire, and literally brought them all together. It made me really happy to see that with my own two eyes!

Loot/Haul?

Currently there is only one thing I truly want from her store; her CRYBABY album vinyl! I loved records since I was much younger (my father has been collecting them for years, and since been exposed to them since I was a baby -I came to like them too!). 

I didn't actually get anything from the concert because the line was long and everything was overpriced. So after words my friends and I went to a Japanese restaurant had a small meal, discussed the night and went home shortly afterwords.

I am so very happy and grateful to have experienced this and made new friends there as well!

I'm looking forward to more upcoming music and videos from Melanie. As for now i still cant get enough of music. 

I have more photos of my ig! Do take a look~

Thank you for reading!! ♡

♡ Pastel Chokers Review! / TwirlyTrinkles@etsy ♡

       

  ♥ Hi Lovelies~!  I hope you are all enjoying your summer break! 

For today, I will be reviewing adorable chokers from TwirlyTrinkets on etsy! This store is owned by Penny, the sweetest person I have chatted with in a while and we became good friends ^^ I purchased two chokers from her store and I am super pleased with these purchases!

♥  When I frist found this store, I was honestly taken back by how pretty the charms on the chokers were. For one reason or another I have noticed that "kitty" bell chokers are all the rage on tumbr and I completely understand why , buuuuut I have to say I favour charmed chokers much more. So finding this store was the best thing that happened tome when I first got really into chokers and wanted to own some on my own 

♥ When it finally came down to picking chokers I really wanted it was a really tough decision but I finally decided to get these two lovely chokers, one with a heart key charm and one with a hollow moon.

I got my chokers in two colours, Light Pink and Baby Blue. TwirlyTrinklets chokers come in a ton of colours there are about 5 shades of blue alone! You can choose dark maroons and greens or pastel pinks and purples! 

I decided to get them in cute pastel colours and of course in pink -my favorite colour!

One of my favorite things about opening my parcel was the packaging. 

Each choker was in a cute little baggy that was the same color as the choker itself. Its little details like this that make me smile and show that the store truly wants you to like your package. 

 

I will always appreciate such little things that make the biggest difference.

 

In each little baggy, there was one free chain that came together with my purchase. It was a pleasant surprise. Whereas the choker itself was in a clear bag to avoid causing any damage to the fabric.

I absolutely love this choker the most, the heart on the chain makes it look enchanted - like something out of a fairy book. And the additional chain on each side add more of sparkle to it, its absolutely perfect in every way. 

I've come to fancy baby blue more recently and decided to add it some more to my closet, and this was a good way to start. I figured I would choose a moon more this choker because the moon is kind of mystical and pretty, it also reminded me of the Chinese moon-goddess and Yue from Avatar: Last Air Bender. Its also less flashy than the pink one, so I can use it for more causal-cute outfits! ( Kinda silly but it's true! ).

Here are the two free chains I received, the silver one came with the pink choker and the black one with the blue one.

As for the chain that attaches at the back, their is a single chain that hangs at the very end that allows one to adjust the tightens of the choker. I got mine in exactly 14 inches and it isn't too tight or loose one me, its the perfect size. Penny suggested I measure my neck before she made my chokers. That's another thing I love about her, she wants her customers too be 100% satisfied and will even ask you what size you would like you chokers to be before she makes them and sends then, to avoid sending a product that is too small or large.

I am 100% satisfied with these chokers, the charms the size and the cute little chains that dangle on each side.  The materials used are very sturdy; the velvet-ish material and links at the tips to close them at the back.


 5/5 ♥♥♥♥♥

The colours where exactly what I requested and were very pastel and what I was hopping to receive. They work very well for my usual pastely style and are simple yet can make a major statement to my cords.

 5/5 ♡♥♥♥♥

♡ My parcel which only took less than a week to arrive at my post-box was carefully and delicately packaged. Each choker plus two additional necklaces as free gifts, where each placed in a separate clear bag. I thought it was awful nice of the owner of TwirlyTrinklets to give me some gifts.  I'm sure I have more than a few loose charms I can attach to them ^^ The fabric is soft against my skin, even though the velvet feel is only on the outside. The chokers are even more gorgeous than I thought they would be! I thought it was really sweet of Penny to add a little free gift to her parcels.♡

Tried them on and got dressed in a simple pastely outfit featuring a white over-sized sweater, wig and sparkly white bow! They are comfy and add a perfectly cute touch to my cord ^^
