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.

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.

Happy International Lolita Day! Winter 2013

Happy International Lolita Day~>

International Lolita day happens twice a year, in the Winter and in the Summer. It's a day where we Lolitas proudly wear this fashion to celebrate, sometimes gathering.

This day, I wore relaxed Punk Lolita. Starting from shoes and leggings, I matched the cage skirt and pastel rainbow t-shirt and as a final touch, devil hoodie~>

The idea was black grounded with pattern pops of colour.

Hoodie: Glavil

Shirt: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright x Gloomy Bear

Skirt: hNaoto

Leggings: Japan L.A. x Hello Kitty

Socks: Mint Neko

Shoes: Y.R.U.

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

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.

Anime Expo 2013 Day 3: Gyaru fashion show, Gyaru, Lolita, The Doctor, o, My!

Exhausted from the Fun and Work on Day 1 and 2, not only did I sleep in on Day 3, but traversed traffic. Since I White Rabbited, I was not allowed in to watch the last set of the Gyaru fashion shows of Glavil by tutuHA, MA*RS and Golds Infinity, however, I took photos of all the ladies afterwards!

Ghetto Furikura~>

Friends from Doll Delight's show at Fanime were modeling! Also, compared to Day 2's fashion show with Liz Lisa, this style of Gyaru is Edgier and Punkier. Cute ne?

MA*RS is so Pink and Black! I bet X-al loves it.

Glavil by tutuHA is definitely Punk Rocky. I love the Horny Hoodies!

Of these brands, Golds Infinity is much more affordable. Cute and feminine.

Anime Expo 2013: Day 2 Gothic Gyaru, Magi daiyo!, Liz Lisa Fashion show, Starmarie, Kim Dao, Cosplay, & Hugs o my~>

Anime Expo Day 2! 

Continuing from the Aladdin theme of Day 1.

This is a cute cosplay of Aladdin from Magi. I love this anime, and the Porno Graffitti booth I was helping wrote the opening theme song for it. ( I'm so gonna cosplay this...) 

We hugged afterwards. I was Honoured! Good hug, too. (Note: No matter how Cute or Awesome someone's outfit is, ALWAYS ASK before touching it or them!!!)

Later that day, my Maid Sakana stopped by, what luck! I remembered to take photos. ( We didn't during Fanime.) Maid Sakana is also a Very Good Hugger.

One day she will be Lolita Maid Sakana~>

AX D1 2013: Anime Expo Day 1, Magic Carpet Ride~>

Day 1 of Anime Expo 2013! Anime Expo is a huge Anime Convention in Los Angeles held around 4th of July.

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.

Fanime 2013 Day 1: Kimono and hNaoto Fashion show

In terms of fashion for Day 1 of Fanime, I had the opportunity to wear a friend's Helly Kitty Yukata! 

Fanime 2013 Day 0: Minimalist Lolita

Dear Friends & Lovers,

   This past weekend was the annual Fanime Convention in San Jose, CA. It was a lot of work, yet I managed to dress up each day, at least a bit.

I recently made a Legendary Ten Shirt Purchase from Uniqlo.

Since Thursday involved Travel, I wanted something simple. Excitedly, I wore the Laduree x Uniqlo shirt for the first time. (I'd been wearing the Sanrio x Uniqlo shirts from this haul for a while. These shirts are on sale right now!)

Laduree is a world famous macaron & confection shop. My first taste of Laduree was thanks to Christina Winkelmann, I thank her for enriching my Tastes. I apologize the photos are not great, but you get the idea.

Shirt: Laduree x Uniqlo

Bloomers: Frill by hNaoto

Shoes: ellie

Bag: Juicy Couture

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. ^_^

Urban Mori Gyaru

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

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.)

Thanksgiving 2011 Black Friday

My casual Hangry & Angry outfit for Black Friday deals at hNaoto in New People Building on Thanksgiving 2011.

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

Except
Backpack: Frill
Shoes: Rockport
Hat: Handmade

The T-shirt is actually autographed by Gashicon, the designer of Hangry & Angry. The socks were my first ever hNaoto purchase. Unfortunately, I recently messed them up in the wash, and am still trying to unfelt them. :_:
