*If you do not have any interest in mentions of Astrology (I respect that), please feel free to scroll past down to the reviews on pretty things I purchased. If you are wondering what a Profection Year is and how it affected me, read on. So for those curious, your 1st House Profection Year has to do with Astrology, your birth chart and the beginning of your Rising Sign month. Every 12 years you go through a special transformation that lands in your 1st house which correspond with your personal style, identity "what defines you" and how you are ultimately perceived by the otherside world basically- it's a chance to experience a true and liberating Phoenix moment (this could be voluntary or just "happen") in the mirror and your mind. Mine began last fall and it's been a wonderful and exhilarating whirlwind of emotions, reflection and knowledge AND style/wardrobe changes since then. I finally feel like "me"! These are my latest finds that define the real me that I have been hiding and denying for so long. First up is the Astral Aura Handbag from KILLSTAR *Now I don't know if KILLSTAR is considered indie so I won't focus this review entirely on this bag but it's the most gorgeous and defining side accessory I have ever owned and it is Quality AND Quantity when it comes to this bag. It's currently sold out but believe me, if you get the chance grab it and step out in true unique style and feel like you own the show. It's like armour that's the only way I can describe it.
I had to find a pocketbook to match such a striking arm adornment and I found just that on ETSY at Zekcreations. This mini wallet is exceptional (I do think I will go for the larger size next time as my astral purse swallows this lovely small reticule and as much as I love the darling hand fit of this small pocketbook, I can't help but covet now the beast size). I adore the tactile element of this item and the colour and design scream my taste. When I look at this bifold I see a divine mixture of gothic and art deco (anyone else see peacock feather details in the swirls?). I'll be visiting this shopfront again this year never fear. Last note is on their customer service which was prompt and courteous- they custom fit a moon charm at my request for the inside zipper. I love indie sellers. Zekcreations |
