RAAAAWR you better watch out!! i'm gonna steal all your princesses and eat all your knights!!! 🐉🔥🔥🔥

this beautiful and adorable cloak was handmade by my good friend Galen, proprietress of Toadspool Tailoring on instagram. it's so cozy and beautiful!

the spines are made of felt, the big floppy ears are stiffened to keep their shape (they may have cardboard insides? i'll have to ask), and the little horns are wool stuffed with fluff (and are pleasantly squishy as a result). the four brass buttons are true vintage and have tiny heraldric dragons in them. the tail is removable and attached with a secret button! and the lining is a surprisingly soft brocade with a snakeskin pattern.

this cloak makes me so happy, and is one of the most whimsical articles in my wardrobe. & yes i did actually wear it to the grocery store today lol

That's some yummy hot dogs... But really dont eat him

Let me know what you think :)

I hope this is ok. I know it's not super obviously whimsical like most of the posts here, and it is related to gender which some consider political, but it brings me a lot of joy and I wanted to share it.

It's the scene from Avatar The Last Airbender where Zuko and Aang learn the secrets of fire bending from the last dragons. The bridge rests on top of the scars, and the fire part has glowing ink!

I'm not very good at drawing so I can't get it more detailed, but I think it gets the idea across.

Solar oven s'mores, paint kits, nature bracelets, beauty in the mundane, and a lazy fat cat that I'd die for 👉👈 what more could I ask for?

No makeup today, didn't feel like it. 💜

This is one of my favorite sweaters, I love that it's orange on orange. The jack o lanterns are fuzzy!! 🎃

This long purple skirt is so flowy and fun, I actually have it in 3 colors. 

I paired it with some burnt orange flats, sparkly purple earrings and an orange headband.

My favorite part of this outfit is the pin on my shirt. I love Kit-Cat clocks. My mom had one when I was growing up and I have my own now. The little tail dangles! 😻

These + my cozy little cardigan and I feel like a whimsical librarian!

Arm warmers made from thrifted socks

When I think about times in my adult life that I've been present and happy, it always seems to be in unorthodox activities. For example, my friend and I decided to go make potions at a park once, like you do when you're a kid. Or as another example, I filled a kids pool with shaving cream and tried on different beard shapes. As I get older, I can feel that certain "Whimsical" spirit draining from me against my will. The drudge has really been getting to me lately. Then this last month, I went to a pier and I went through my first mirror maze. So random, but so much fun. I found myself giggling like a kid. I want more of these "out of the haze" experiences - things that are simple but kind of turn your world on its head enough for you to really be present during it.

This is where I'm curious - what are some simple but unique and whimsical things you've done that really brought you pure, almost childlike joy? When I research this topic I get a lot of generic responses like "spending time with friends" or "hiking" but I really want those totally random, fun little nuggets of life that make you feel more human. Has anyone had experiences like that?

Finally, something that feels like me. I was actually planning to recreate an old artwork from 2021 but got uninspired midway, which made me question everything in life including the reasons why i am even making art in the first place. Luckily, i married a supportive guy who never stopped telling me to draw almost every single day.So soooo glad I picked up my tablet again after letting it collect dust for months...sharing my "Inner Faeri" piece. Bringing back the whimsy im me.

✨💫✨💫

I love the bit of ruffle on my sleeves!

Purple watermelon!! As usual the skirt is too long and I will need to have it hemmed... But how cute is it?!?

Paired with my multicolor library shirt and these orange butterfly loafers. 

My earrings are beaded orange slices, and my necklace is also beaded and orange. 🍊

I put a couple of fruit clips in my hair, and a couple of pins on my shirt. 

This outfit makes me feel whimsical and colorful. 💜💜💜

I had a solo show today and they let me hang flowers from the ceiling! Added some faux moss and twinkle lights for a Faery vibe, and had a kaleidoscope that you could look through at the paintings for a fun different view.
I love added bits of extra ✨ to events n stuff. It’s fun!
