Otafest ♡

On the 18th of May I got to attend Calgary's Otafest celebration. I went back in 2009 and since haven't had a chance to go because I've been in the States during the time it's held, but I was home so I decided to check it out again. For those that don't know, Otafest is a big Anime convention that's held at the University of Calgary every year in May. There's usually a pretty large turnout, with many cosplayers and events. I mainly like to go to the vendors hall and watch the cosplay productions. This year I was only there for a couple of hours so I only got a chance to look at some cosplayers and shop, but it was still a really nice experience, I will definitely go for a whole day next time to get my money's worth ! I myself cosplayed as Rinoa Heartilly from FF8, I didn't take photos but I still have my outfit of course. 

So here's my loot !

A few years back I stumbled across a bento box blog that an Indonesian mother runs, and since then have been obsessed with looking at cute bentos, so sad huh ? I would look at bento boxes and bento recipes and bento accessories online for hours but never buy any ! Well I finally got my chance to purchase these two adorable bento boxes for my future children haha It will be a long time in the future but I couldn't resist !

I realised after buying these and coming home why these keychains looked familiar; I'd seen them on an online store recently, and for about half the price that I got them ~ arg ! But they are sweet right ?

Aren't those Hello Kitty slippers just the cutest ? I was so torn between this pair, or a pair of Rilakkuma ones, I think the fact that these were a tad cheaper is what swayed me, plus I got a Rilakkuma keychain.

I've also been wanting to purchase some Hello Kitty style frames for months, but never did, so I got those white ones with the red bow, they're a little tricky to see in the photos.
