Stranger Things merch haul!! Also, long time, no see...

Hi, beautiful people!! Long time, no see...

I've had a rough and challenging couple of weeks(more like a little over a month), and to be honest, I'm still going through a lot and things just seem to be getting crazier and crazier in my life. It's a nonstop roller coaster. But, over the time I've been away from the blog-o-sphere, I watched Stranger Things season 2!!!

Now, I was never as excited as I was when this season released on Netflix on October 27th. I had been anticipating it's arrival since I finished season one, back in July of 2016. And, now that it's finally here, all I want to do is re-watch it over and over. Unfortunately, I don't have time to do so, but trust me, if I did I'd watch it all the time. IT'S THAT GOOD!!!

Anyway, back to the point...

I wanted to show you all my haul of Stranger Things merch that I've picked up both recently and from times passed. Well, truthfully, I've only had the vinyl record for almost a year now, but everything else is new. Nevertheless, I love each item equally because this show is just so dang good!!

1. First up, the Halfway Happy sweater/sweatshirt.

This item is one that I absolutely adore. I searched everywhere for cute items that said this saying from the show and then, when I found this, I knew immediately that I had to have it.

The saying on the show is one that has stuck with me after watching season 2. It's the scene where Hopper is talking to El about compromise, and I'm not gonna spoil anything, so I'll just say that much and finish my sentence.

It's super soft, cozy, and I wear it all the time!! Perfect for the winter and fall, honestly. If you want to pick it up, I found it on etsy!

2. Second, we have the Stranger Things tee shirt.

This shirt is sooo incredibly soft and comfortable, let me start with that!

I love love love the little nose-bleed detail and honestly that's what sold me on it. At first glance on the website, it looks simple and plain, but that small detail is one that instantly hooked me and I couldn't help but pick it up.

It's so simple, so cute, and perfect for everyday wear! I really love this shirt and highly reccommend it.

If you want to pick it up, it's at Target.

3. Third, we have the Stranger Things vinyl record, and the Stranger Things CD soundtrack.

Both of these are absolutely amazing and so easy to listen to. By that, I mean that when I listen to them, I don't want to skip one song, I want to listen to the whole thing through.

Now, the vinyl comes with two separate records, so there's no doubt that you get what you pay for! Both are filled with the pure music from the show -- stuff like the background music or music that fills the quietness within the show. There's no lyrics, and it's such an experience to listen to all the way from beginning to end that it's almost hard to stop listening to it.

The CD is the same thing -- it's an experience. There's tracks on there that are soundbites from the show, aka, quotes and popular saying on the show that are perfect for soundtrack purposes. Those really pull the CD together. The songs on here are lyrical and these are songs from the show that were popular or alternative hits from the 80s, so they all should be recognizable.

Either way, both of them are so incredible and I recommend them endlessly. The Vinyl, I got at Barnes and Nobles, and the CD, I got at Target.

4. Next up, the patches!

These patches are so amazing! I haven't gotten to use them for any purpose, but I'm sure I'll find something to put them on in the future. They are so timeless and really perfect to put on an old jean jacket or pair of jeans that you want to spruce up.

No matter what, their a steal and I think they're worth the money! I only picked up two, but there were so many more choice to choose from.

You can get them at Target!

5. And now, the buttons!

These buttons were difficult to get pictures of, as you can tell. I had to hold the one with black because it wouldn't show up in the pictures I took!

Anyway, these buttons are super cute and totally perfect for using on anything your heart desires. I haven't found anything to put them on yet, but I'm sure I will soon. I got them at Target! They are only sold in stores, I believe, though, so that's one downside to this.

6. Last, but not least, the enamel Eleven pin.

This was such a steal! It's so cute and the design of it is just simply amazing. I was blown away when I received in the mail because it was so high quality and the details were immaculate.

I highly recommend this pin for everyone who loves Stranger Things and/or the character Eleven.

Well, that concludes this Stranger Things merch haul! I hoped to have this up a lot earlier but delays kept happening due to my crazy busy life. Thank you so much for reading and checking out my items! Maybe you'll pick some of these up yourself, by chance.
