Lusting for Lucky Packs~>

MaruQ recently announced it's selling lucky packs. Not only is the exchange rate price good, but on top of that, they have limited edition Liz Lisa Store-Only packs!

I'm living vicariously through my friend X-al who partook of several packs. I heard from Sweet Loulita who is in the Japans now, that the Trunk bag which was available from Liz Lisa website looked really good in person.

If you're interested they ship internationally!

Bless those who earn and spend, and thus the economic wheel keeps turning.

MaruQ Lucky Pack & Sweet Loulita Lucky Pack

My friend and 'fan' Sweet Loulita helped me buy a Lucky Pack from MaruQ when the physical store opened. It was only $75 and inside was an entire outfit.

The bag the pack came in is rather sturdy. The plastic makes it easy to keep clean and cloth handles allow easy hanging from any hook without damaging it.

Sweet Loulita created her own Lucky Pack for me, and stuffed it in, making this pack extra Lucky!

Time to get Lucky.... Packs!

At year's end and on New Year's, Japan and many Asian countries often sell lucky packs, fukubukuro. These are bags of random or unique items that you buy at an exceptional discount. The caveat being that the contents are a surprise. But for me, surprises are Super Prizes.

The Grab Bag I got from Sanrio is just like a Lucky pack. I also recently got a Lucky Pack from MaruQ , with Sweet Loulita's help. ( I hope to blog about it soon; I must purchase online storage for my photographs. Flickr Pro, here we go.)

Sentimental Circus Inspired outfit

December 3rd 2011, I wore this outfit. A year and one day later, I'm blogging it. (I wore these tights today, too.) The idea was Mad Hatter & Ring Master.

Random Pirate Lolita outfit.

On June 3rd, 2011 I was a Lolita Pirate. Why? I cannot recall. I was meeting friends for dinner and drinks! Maybe I wanted to wear my Happy Pack Bonnet from Alice & the Pirates. And, that just happened to match my corset, which matched my stockings, and little by little the outfit put itself together. Usually when I make coordinates, I just keep adding until it feels done. Much like decorating a waffle.

I tried to hide the homely background.

Black Saturday: Faturday & Caturday! Hello Kitty and Hoppy times.

Since I did not shop on Black Friday, I happily went to the mall today. The mall was not crowded, perhaps everyone had emptied their piggies yesterday.

Black Friday Outfit, Lucky Pack Dress!

You could say I did my Black Friday shopping early, since I spent my time and money in line for Angelic Pretty's lucky packs last week. But I'm happy with the results!

I spent the day writing blogs, eating leftovers, and dressing up!

Lo lo lo lo lo, Cupcake Gingham Style~>

Angelic Pretty 2nd Anniversary Lucky Pack sale

It'd been a while since I'd lined up for lucky packs, and this time the content t'was a mystery. At the same time, they were releasing Misty Sky, too. I wanted Lucky Packs and a Tea Party Ticket.

Since it was predicted to rain all weekend, I chose my darkest Angelic Pretty dress, and slapped on my rain boots.

Outfit outline

Hat: Uniqlo

Blouse: Alice & the Pirates

Dress and socks: Angelic Pretty

Shoes: Rockport

Rainboots: Roma

Coat: Unknown origins from Mom

In line, I kept my hair braided, but later in the day, I let it down.

To mimic the dresses check pattern, I used fishnets over the strawberry socks.

I arrived around 6:10am, and there were already 5 ladies in front of me, all from out-of-town. It was raining before the sun came up, so once the sun came out we snapped some photos.

Even with Coats on, everyone's so cute.

She was #1 in line, all the way from Michigan!

We got really excited once they put out the signs. Trying to peek at the merchandise. Earlier we'd seen Asuka and Maki walking in and shop girls too.

Pink Misty Sky! The Navy is Gorgeous.

I want to Celebrate with you!

Asuka and Maki stepped out for some Photo Ops! Their outfits were So Perfect, and lovely for the Fall Lolita.

I was in a rush so I was in and out of the store in 15 minutes! I got what I wanted.

Yes, I was tired.

The Haul.

Bunny Cutsew part of Toy March, I love it.

Special Anniversary gift for spending 150+

Inside the Lucky Pack!

Cute  Tape

Luckily, I have nothing like this. I can't wait to wear it.

I thought the Sax ring with the Gingham dress was very cutely coordinated. I love Drips and wear this ring all the time. I dream of doing Country style or Dorothy inspired lolita outfits!

Beary Casual

This is my Gloomy x Baby, the Stars Shine Bright hoodie. It's a photo from September 2011, but in the Spirit of Halloween, I will blog about it now.
I got this hoodie as part of a lucky pack from San Francisco's Baby, the Stars Shine Bright.
It's super comfortable and might do for a casual bear costume in a pinch. I'd like to dress this hoodie up and make it more Gloomy, with claws and blood. It's the Saturday of Halloweekend, and I don't know what to wear!
