Lolita Where to buy / How to buy Directory! posted at 3:17 PM


 Hello guys!

Tomorrow I will be doing a talk on how to buy Lolita Fashion. I am just posting the points I am going to address here so people can review and also access links. I hope this helps people new Lolitas and long time veterans alike. I do visit other blogs a lot and go directly to their posts with all the links to their favourite places to shop. This helps me find new and interesting shops, ideas and links so I thought it will definitely help some people if I compile my own list! I am still updating things as I go. Happy Shopping!

[Disclaimer, this information is researched and true to the best of my ability at the time of writing March 2016. price points do change over time and some of my advice may irrelevant down the track, I will update when I can but with no guarantees.]

Travel diary: Kobe, Japan 2015-2016 posted at 4:51 PM

First of all I wish everyone had a wonderful holiday season and a fantastic year so far.
I had been off visiting my family in Japan, where I traveled around 3 cities, Kobe, Osaka and Tokyo.
We didn't do much touristy stuff during my trip as I mostly spent quality time with my family.
This is our house in Kobe! 
 My mum adores pink, and Japanese stores almost always have a pink colour option for every product, feeding her love of the colour.
 My family recently moved to Kobe, its a beautiful city, and its where I spent most of my time in Japan. I am busy with Postgrad study and I am not sure if I can go back again soon like I used to, but I can't wait to go again already.
Until next time!

Video: Lolita Problems Part 2 by Deerstalker Pictures 2 posted at 3:10 PM

Hey guys! Long time no post.
I've been busy lately and I am going to visit my family in Japan in 2 days.

Meanwhile, check out this (relatively recent) Deerstalker's video of Lolita Problems: Part 2!

 

Andy as Mr. Yan is HILARIOUS. I nearly died when I saw him. Actually he (Andy not Mr Yan) was the one who introduced me to our local community a year ago. Before then I had been a lone lolita for almost a decade.

I have a backlog of meets and photos I was meant to put up and hopefully I have time to post them up before the year ends. If not, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season and a lovely New Year! I will definitely be posting photos from Japan from my Instagram if you like travel photos.

See you!

Double Video Update with Deerstalker Pictures and Töck & Phantasmafloria! posted at 12:33 PM

Hi everyone! I just thought I will update you guys on what I have been doing lately!
I have worked with some of my friends from the community, one being Deerstalkers Pictures (first video) and  Töck & Phantasmafloria (second video).


In the video above, my friends Goldie, Simone, Ann, Maya and I tackle some real issues we face as a Lolita Fashionista. We're mostly joking around - although I know some of you can really relate to some of the problems. Especially the one where people try to snap photos of us without permission! Ann handles it tremendously "AY MATE YOU WANNA GO HUH!?" !!!! Deerstalkers are currently working on part 2 so stay tuned!


In this video, Bing and I unbox our Holy Lantern series from Angelic Pretty! Bing is so funny throughout the whole thing, ESPECIALLY at the end. Bing and I recently became really close, and we keep enabling each other to buy things. It's a bad relationship. Hahaha.

I had a lot of fun filming with friends! If you like these videos make sure to subscribe to their channels Deerstalker Pictures 2 and Töck & Phantasmafloria

Until next time!!

Video: "How to Buy from Angelic Pretty" posted at 4:36 PM


The wonderful Goldie and Elliot from Deerstalker Pictures, Maya and myself got together to create this comedic video "How to Buy from Angelic Pretty"which was released yesterday.
*spoilers* I've already posted this on my social media platforms, but basically, I play the role of AP Queen Bee who gets the release straight away, much to the dismay (and murderous intent) of those other salty Lolitas. 
I also play the role of a cute babby ita maid who is sacrificed to the AP gods in hope to obtain the ever elusive releases. I hope you enjoy the video!

Convention: SMASH! 2015 Highlights posted at 5:07 PM





SMASH! is a Japanese contemporary culture convention bringing together Cosplayers, Lolitas, Anime fans and Japan enthusiasts alike. I have only been to SMASH once during my high school years, and it was tad smaller back then. I was very surprised at how big the new venue, Rosehill Gardens was, and the many events and stalls that were happening on this busy, busy weekend.

This year I volunteered at the J-Fashion Indie Corner stall at SMASH! 2015. I did this as a favour of my friend Kate, who runs Rouge Aerie Designs. She is currently in America tending to some urgent business so some of us jumped on board to help her out. Kate is a lovely person and she deserves all the help she can get, really. On Day One I wore Misty Sky, and on Day Two I wore my signature CDC!!
