Rrare Item Monday - Orange and Purple High Top Sneakers

This weeks Rare Item Monday is this lovely pair of High Top Sneakers. I personally love this color scheme, especially this orange (I often wear items with this color a lot)! I think its most appealing to me because its bright and soft and not dark, however its not exactly... neon? Hm. Not sure how to really describe it!

This color scheme also works really well as orange and purple are nearly contrasting colors. Blue and orange are true constrating colors, and purple and yellow are true constrasting colors. So this is kind of the nice inbetween.

Don't forget to buy this before Monday ends!

Pilgrim Hat and Chrysanthemums

Now that Halloween has gone and passed, the next major holiday is known as a day of thanks... so much so that its part of its name - Thanksgiving! Which is why one our new items just happens to be  a Pilgrim Hat, which the pilgrims who started Thanksgiving were said to have worn. Now you can throw that more than just traditional Thanksgiving dinner...

A pretty common returning item, the Pilgrim Hat was first released back in the November of 2010.

Along with this comes the new monthly flower at Treetop Gardens, this time Chrysanthemums (also known as 'mums'). These mums come in a bouquet or just one bloom.

Fun fact: in Texas, where I am from, we have a special homecoming tradition in which we make giant, huge, extravagant ribbons called "mums". This is because the center piece of the mum is a mum - as in a chrysanthemum! While they used to be real, most of the flowers used for these homecoming mums are fake nowadays.
