Hello dear Friends & Lovers! My blog has been on vacation for a while, so I hope to regularly post again starting now. As usual, I am disastrously behind and my posts are all out of order, but hopefully you enjoy them none-the-less.

Merry Christmas 2013!

Dear Friends & Lovers,

Merry Christmas! Thank you for reading this year. I hope next year brings many more interesting posts. I am relaxing during my Winter Vacation, and slowly blogging. I hope you have a wonderful holiday, full of love.

Sincerely, 

The Cupcake is a Lie.

Hangry & Angry Tights....Tight!

If you're an overseas hNaoto Junkie, you know it's hard to get your hands on tights, stockings and sock-like items from hNaoto booth at conventions. So, when these puppies popped up, I had to have them.

Look at the Drips and Details! They match the Hangry crucifix dress I bought during Gashicon's visit. Also, these witch shoes which I decorated matched too, although you can see my work shoes behind me.

Dress and Stockings: Hangry & Angry

Shoes: second hand self decorated

Matthew's Mint Top is my Dress

 Although I love clothes, I also hate having to wear clothes just to go out. So I compromised with no-pants.

  

Top: Mint Neko

Necklace: 6% dokidoki

Anklet: Hangry & Angry

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.

Backlog: Catching up to the White Rabbit

Hello Friends and Lovers. Happy Saturday!

I found photos from the beginning of the year. 

So many I want to share and so little time to process them.

Here's a peek at one for now.

Super bright and comfortable outfit. 

Doesn't quite fit into a category of Street Fashion.

I just call it Kawaii Kei.

Thanks for reading. ^_^

Shopping Saturday hNaoto San Francisco Closing Sale

Sadly, it was announced earlier this month that hNaoto shop in San Francisco is closing. So of course I visited during the Closing sale when everything is 50% off to mourn the loss.

My friend Ying and I drove to San Francisco just to shop at hNaoto. But for me, I also wanted to check out the Tea at the new Crown & Crumpet Tea Stop in New People Building.

We headed straight to the hNaoto shop. Like most stores, there's a no photography policy, so I only have photos of my haul bag. ( I haven't had time to catalog the haul, but I may update later, and the items were worn for my L.A. trip.) We shopped for about 2 hours. Everything was 50% off and the sale items that were more off were still honored.

After the Drive and Shopping I needed some Tea. We headed to Crown & Crumpet Tea Stop. They were very busy. (That rhymed!)

lol @ the posing Lady

There were some very cute details in the shop, which I'd like to capture next time with a point-and-shoot camera at least. ( This day was ghetto cell phone photos.)

We ordered a Large Crown & Crumpet Special Blend black tea pot and scones to share. I love scones. And we sat in the 1/2 floor on level with the New People Store and MaruQ pop shop. ( I resisted the urge to pop shop, because I just broke my wallet at hNaoto.)

SacAnime: Day 2

Day 2 of SacAnime in January 2013. I took the bus to the Convention Center. At the bus stop, a gentleman told me I looked great, and that I 'Brightened' up his day. I smiled for the pun, and thanked him for the compliment. On the bus, the happy passengers asked each other if they'd seen the 'freak show' that's happening at the Convention Center. I giggled on the inside. 

Homeward Bound. Bye-bye Snow.

Frosty the Cube car was ready to take us home. As fresh powder crying for us to ride on the mountain ached, so did our bodies. I took photos on the way home.

Snow way.

Happy End of 2012 Year, Happy New Year's Eve & Happy New Year's 2013!

M-hoshi~> Dreaming of Sentimental Circus Lolita.

Happy New Year's! I hope everyone is Celebrating safely and warmly tonight. My outfit for New Year's Eve is inspired by Sentimental Circus. (The Tralala bag's charms are by Sentimental Circus, and in fact contain a tote bag.)

Second day of Heavenly Snowboarding

My first Snow of the Season and my first time at Heavenly. As the name implies, this resort is certainly Huge and Covered in Snow. Behind me is Lake Tahoe.

Merry Christmas Eve's Eve's Eve's Eve!

Via was 50% off

On the night of Dec 20, 2012, as I drifted to sleep, a strange outfit came. I wanted to wear this Angelic Pretty Salopette with my cream Gloomy x Baby, the Stars Shine Bright shirt. But in order to show the shirt's design, I had to pin the top of the salopette on backwards. Resulting in a suspender style.

Christmas Eve's Eve

The day before Christmas Eve, I arrived at my friend's family's home. I brought some Choya to share. Choya is a popular plum wine. It's very sweet, like dessert wine. I especially love the plums at the bottom, soaked in wine.

-_- happy Asian face

The hair was the most fun. A wild and comfortable outfit.

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.

Accidentally Hermioned!

Yesterday, I was throwing together an outfit, when I accidentally Hermioned. Somehow the flowy flying-squirrel cardigan and the neck ribbon really come together for a Wizard look. The stripes and hair helped too.
