Dark Lolita outfit for Meeting.

Happy belated Valentine's! This was from last weekend, but I wanted to share. ♥

Since I had a few hours to drive, I opted for a comfortable pink and black lolita coordinate. The dress is fully shirred and stretchy. It lacks the big back bow common to lolita dresses, allowing me to sit back. 

One thing I enjoy about meetings in San Jose is easy access to Philz Coffee. Pricey, at almost 5 dollars a large cup, but the Mint Mojito is definitely a good value, since they use a ton of fresh mint leaves.

Refreshing.

That which I most enjoy at meetings is the people. Ashley & I selfie~> I regret not capturing a full body image of her outfit. It was most adorable.

Day Out with Sheila!

That day before Christmas, I spent a day with Sheila!! She's so cool and nice.

We went to Royal Cup Cafe, because they had good tea, and you could sit and chat for hours, comfortably.

Royal Tea, good good.

This salad was huge. My cell phone for size.

Comfy couch.

Sac Anime 2014: Day 1, Visual Kei Lolita~>

Day one of SacAnime 2014! I went to help my sponsor PipStarPop, and was ready for a Visual Kei group photoshoot with Ying and Darla. If you've seen my previous blogs, I'm not very experienced when it comes to Visual Kei style, but I just dive into it my own way. (Thanks Darla for taking outfit shots!)

Top: Sixh

Skirt: hNaoto

Shoes: Y.R.U.

Hoodie: Glavil by tutuha

Necklace: 6% dokidoki

Black roses: Black Peace Now

Feather Fascinators and bow clip: PipStarPop

Bag: hNaoto Frill

Make up: Sugarpill

For a base of Visual Kei and Lolita, I started with the Sixh shirt and hNaoto skirt. I then added the Glavil hoodie, for a punkier twist, and then the red and black tights and spike shoes. To continue the devilish look, I used the Frill winged backpack. To draw out a bit more white, the neckrope. Let's just say the make up and hair accessories were sprinkles on this Visual Cupcake.

The lovely Dalek bedecked lady below was just so cute, I had to capture her. Also, you get a peek at PipStarPop's booth.

AX 2013 Last Days~>

This blog includes the outfits I wore on AX 2013 Day 4, and the next day, to fly home. I was so busy on day 4, I didn't take convention photographs. So Posing Practice shots, for your enjoyment purposes!

Spotted mirror gives me a White Iris, cool.

Am I cool yet?

Black Roses: Black Peace Now

Vest & Shirt: Sixh Ibi

Nekolace: Mint Neko

Pearls: Forever 21

Shorts: Honey by hNaoto

Safety Pin necklace & Scarf: hNaoto

Scrunchie: Gramm by hNaoto

Ring: Pinkhime

Bag: Juicy Couture

Boots: Demonia

I had no make up, and kind of threw this outfit together. The idea was 'Shirt look', but the back of the shirt was too short, so I added shorts. Surprisingly, people liked it and some still wanted my photograph.

Chvrches Concert at Solano Beach!!

This was the day I saw Chvrches! They are a Scottish electric pop band. Their sound is very upbeat, I highly recommend you check them out.

Since their L.A. concert was sold out, we headed to Solano Beach. We decided to spend the day at the beach before the concert.

Parking was a short Nightmare. There was not only a Festival de Sol at the same time, but also a weekly Farmer's Market that lasts most of the day. After we finally found a spot, we headed over for some lunch.

This is a Pistachio Gelato Pop. Quite good.

Fanime 2013 day 3: Lolita Sunday

On the third day of Fanime, my true love gave to me, Do-o-nut Ring~>

We were messing around at the info-desk outside of registration, with my new found Mini Krispy Kreme's ring. I remembered Krispy Kreme donuts being quite oil-filled, but this one was killer.

Fanime 2013 Day 2: Lolita, Dolldelight Model, & Tea for Two

On day 3 of Fanime 2013, I had the honour of modeling for Dolldelight. Here's a sample of what I wore, more details on my Modeling Blog.

For the rest of the day, I wore a Macaron Lolita outfit, since it suited the Hair and Make from modeling.

After modeling, I headed over to Clockwork Alchemy's Tea Room to meet my brother. 

Clockwork Alchemy is a Steampunk convention in its 2nd year put on in conjunction with Fanime. So one membership gets you into two conventions.

More on my Food Blog.

After drinking our fill of Tea, we wandered around Clockwork Alchemy, to see what was left to see.

There was a Stage which I did not recognize, but it looked Cool, so we took photos.

Urban Mori Gyaru

Mori gyaru is a Japanese street fashion with a very natural look. The main idea is 'a girl from the forest.'

Hoppy 12 12 12 Outfit

Happy hoppy 12th day of the 12th month of the 12th year after 2000! This is the casual outfit I wore on 12-12-12. I wanted to wear the Toy March cutsew, and the Bears Cafe skirt from Angelic Pretty. This was a bit of a challenge.

(FYI: I bought Toy March recently at Angelic Pretty San Francisco 2nd Anniversary weekend, and Bears Cafe at Angelic Pretty San Francisco's Grand Opening.)

Top, Socks, Ring & Skirt: Angelic Pretty
Scarf/Wrap: Uniqlo
Shoes: Vans
Ribbons: Handmade

Anime Expo 2012, Blue Exorcist, and Prinny, o, my! Last day to play.

On the last day of AX, I wandered with my brother. He was catching all the posters and autographs during AX. There were lots of huge and cool anime posters like this Blue Exorcist one. There's someone I want to cosplay in Blue Exorcist, can you guess who?

It's like I'm their friend...

Anime Expo 2012 and My Idol, Misako Aoki! Take 2, and Action.

The morning of my Day 2, I grabbed some quick food. The motel we stayed at had free coffee and doughnut breakfast. The coffee was surprisingly decent, and the doughnuts were fresh, sweet. My cupcake for the day is pictured also. I made the cupcake portion, and the top black and white rose is formed from an hNaoto bandanna which came in a magazine. I added some Hangry & Angry charms and safety pins.

That morning I rushed to get Misako Aoki's autograph at the Angelic Pretty/Harajuku Hearts booth. Misako-san also models for Putumayo, which she is wearing pictured below. 

At the booth, the shopgirl, Yuri, said that in Japan Putumayo recently had a Tea Party with Misako-san as a guest. Film of the Putumayo fashion show from AM2 was shown to the lolita attendees. Yuri pointed out to Misako-san that I was part of that Putumayo show, and then Misako-san said I had 'Attained Kawaii.' (Internal, Kya!) I thanked her profusely. 

Idol Blessings, such a lovely way to start a Conventional morning.

For her to sign on, I purchased a postcard calendar she made for 2012 from the booth. Although the year was almost done, the photographic cards are easily re-usable. (Photos coming soon.)

We were allowed to take photos with her, too.
