Being Wicked At The Wicked Faire NJ W/ Hope 2016!
Get Ready To Be Wicked At The Wicked Faire
Whether you want to be a fairy or a pirate, either or and more is welcome here at the Wicked Faire.
I enjoy going as a mixture of fairy and whatever I’m feeling the day of.
I like that there’s plenty of seated shows happening around after checking out the vendors that I’m not afraid to wear my favorite heels of all time!
This outfit took lots of love and time. So much fun and joy I get out of being creative. Especially for my favorite events. I didn’t create the corset, but you can find those on CorsetStory.com!!!! The rest of the outfit will be on sale in my Etsy Store.
We look forward to going to the Wicked Faire every year and this time we had the privilege of going as Press.
Let me start by saying there will always be hotel rooms available around in NJ. You just have to look. Otherwise don’t worry too much. We like to book our room a month in advance or 2 weeks before hand just because the month is tricky when it comes down to snow. If you’re really skeptical and want to be careful when it comes down to travel and weather, then you can always buy a pass at the door for a little more or just make sure that the hotel you are booking allows refunds. Then you will be in the clear.
This is an 18+ event, but also a place where adults could feel like a kid again!
Not only can you get your drink on pretending you’re in your own fairytale world with others, but you get to explore everything as a new playground with plenty of entertainment going around!
They had aerialists, belly dancers, comedians, storytellers, bands and more going on that day. We had landed on a Friday. However Saturday’s seem to have much more going on.
Definitely don’t forget your cash because you will end up wanting something.
Every single vendor here was unique in their own way. I’m very grateful that they had their own cards to give around because I can’t wait to shop online as well.
Here’s a few of my favorites.
I like to collect cards while I shop around because I don’t want to overwhelm myself with how many cool things there are to buy. I like to basically window shop the vendors and then check around one more time, take note of things and then find them online to see what else they might have.
It’s rare that I buy anything online because I’m so consumed with what I’m doing in my own shop. So it’s nice to take note and really appreciate these shop’s hard work and creativity.
Can’t forget the awesome buffet that lasts all day long!
Always try to not arrive hungry though, or else you’ll find yourself over eating and loosening up your corset at the end of the day lol
They also have a bar in case you want to get some drinks.
The next day we enjoyed our free breakfast and went sightseeing at a scenic overlook since the next day was oddly almost 60°. It went from really cold to really warm all in one night.
Had to enjoy it!
Those pics of that adventure will be available soon to check out! Be sure to sign-up on my newsletter to know when it comes out.
