Earthgarden Hand made Elf Boots

"Have you taken a walk in the forest and lost your way? Are you being chased by a band of wild trolls and must get away fast? Perhaps you are barefoot and going mushroom collecting... maybe your treasure hunting and need to cover your tracks, or simply a sprite dancing light of feet... May every step take you where you want to go"

These are the words that open the store of "Enchanted boots by Earthgarden" a store specialized in handmade boots and moccassins perfect for elf, fairy, or fantasy garments. It's always difficult to find the "right" shoes.They're custom ordered so don't be worried about finding the right size/color, probably they can make it for you! so you must allow a bit over two weeks for them to ship to you though you're in a hurry feel free to contact the seller. They have thicker leather layered soles so they can be used outdoors safely. Some also have embroideries and vines and ornaments. Overall they look great!
I'm in love with the white ones! snif! and also all the natural browns and moss greens... snif, snif... plus they look comfortable... so bookmarked!

Best Lingerie Line: Cheap but gorgeous corsets to add to your burlesque, fairy and fantasy costumes
Let´s face it, high quality corsertry is expensive and there´s a reason for it, they're really difficult to make and though we girls are fond of the shape they provide, most of the time they're not the most comfortable item either. So if you're looking for a corset to cinch your waist or even reduce but if you're looking for a nice looking corset or underbust, fancy and and nice looking and sturdy enough to just control your "curves" in place. They have full corsets and underbusts. Best Lingerie store offer a very extense collection of corsets, from bridal to burlesque and thus presents itself as an inexpensive source for brand new and at retail price corsets. Some with vibrant colors that will even do for fairy, burlesque, or even steampunk garments. With solid colors, stripes or floral brocades and plenty of hues and colors to choose from. My only concern is the durability of the fasteners and front clasps but well I intend to buy a white brocade cincher very soon so I shall tell you how it goes!

Above: green corset with leaves-brocade in front, ideal for fairies and dryad dresses!
Lately I have a passion for greens... isn't this one great for absinthe and steampunk?

One good thing about the store is that they have large sizes, so if you're not a petite fairy but a generous curvy one you make sure they can offer you up to a 6XL size. Other advantage of the store is that they have not only constant bids so you can grab very cheap bargains but also they have items ready to buy with free shipping, so if you're unsure
They also have really lovely combinations of corsets plus tutus that will work on gothic lolitas ensembles but also would be a great part of a full gown if wearing over a tulle long skirt. I´ve put my eye in the black, white and purple and black. White is really lovely for angels/snow queen gown, even for bridal fashion!
Piel de lobo: Historical reproductions belts, armors, pouches and more

Below you can see a sample of some of the belts available, I'm in love with the chesnut colored one...! hope to grab it soon!

Tatoo socks: so clever and sexy idea. Show your legs next Halloween!
Tatooed socks is a store run by Gabby and Tal based in Tel Aviv and they offer handcrafted stockings that look like tatoos on your legs using their own designs.You can find their store in etsy TATOO SOCKS or can also network with them in their facebook page. The idea is so clever and the result is so sexy if you're lucky enough to have pretty legs. And not only for fantasy costuming but also for a chic fashion moment.. They offer several lengths but the most comfortable are the full length models for sure.
That you want to be the risky girl that tatooed bats on your leg for Halloween! These are perfect for the season
I particularly like the butterllies and this one with the twirls and spirals because they are very fairy, and also the branches...! sigh... one day I may go for these ones!


To make sure the socks look natural and blend perfectly with you skin tone their color chart offer have 4 body color shades plus white. If you pick the right blend they can look "almost" as if you're having bare legs with tatoos, as shown in the pictures.

They change the list of items ready to ship on a constant basis and keep a small stock of each model/color so if you don't find your size/color/model check frequently or ask the crafter that you might be interested in having it relisted. For sure this will catch some eyes, as they look like tatooed legs when being worn. But indeed very elegant and sexy too!
