Gone fishing~{

Guess what I did for Valentine's Day? Gone fishing!
No, that's not my catch, Taurus, who's in the same boat, caught this huge shark.

I only hooked this lil' guy. Isn't he cute?

I mean, isn't he cute?!?

Top: Tokidoki

Leggings: Hello Kitty x Japan LA
Shoes: offbrand

My outfit was kawaii sea themed, thanks to this neon Tokidoki shirt. It's a bright and eye-catching shirt. (And apparently fish-catching, too.)  And cats love fish, so Hello Kitty.

Gotta take a cheesy photo with my first catch. Technically, I only hooked him for a few minutes. Then the boatman helped me reel it in. Which means another cheesy photo in the future for my first reel catch. Later it was hard work to make sashimi and eat it.

My Baby. Hamachi are you worth?

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.

Bunny Lolita~>

Hello Friends & Lovers, this outfit is based on the Pink Bunny headband made by PipStarPop, my sponsor! Because the bunny band is simple and cute, I chose a pink bunny patterned lolita dress in jumperskirt style. The dress also has roses and strawberries motif, so I paired it with strawberry patterned knee highs and red flats. Even my hairstyle is simply pigtails.

Pinkhime's blog!

Dear Friends and Lovers,

I'm in Pinkhime's blog! Very exciting....

http://pink1115pink.blog57.fc2.com/blog-entry-318.html

Her blog has photographs I entered which she decorated for a contest to win these lovely shoes.

Pinkhime is a designer who makes over the top decora items, like the rose ring in the photo above. I hope to collect more from her!

L.A. Day 1

For my vacation in Los Angeles, I planned my outfits meticulously because:

1. I wanted a cute vacation.
2. I wanted to pack light (as possible...)

So to maintain objective #2 I re-used a few items in some outfits. ( See if you can tell in the ensuing posts.)

This is a Hello Kitty bandeau style bikini I bought from Hot Topics. In Hulk-like fashion, I broke the original plastic hook which holds the top together. I used the straps to tie the back for now.

Comfortable and adjustable. You get Kitty on your frontside and backside, but somewhat subtle. There are tiny black polka dots on the red bikini.

Black Milk Wishes Swim in my head, again.

Since it's Summertime, Beaches and Swimsuits have been on my mind.

Kind of need this, wouldn't you say, no lie?

Beach, beach fun time, surf & swim.

Last weekend, I played on the Beach with my Friend.
This was my first time at Manhattan Beach. We wanted to eat at this Sushi place, but it was closed.

They have beautifully decorated walkways.

        

This beach is quite lively, many people of all ages with an active attitude.
I will visit again.

Happy National Best Friend Day!

Happy National Best Friend Day!

Do you have a best friend? I do. It's often hard to discern who my best friend is, but for quite a while now, I'd say Sweet Loulita is my Best Friend.

That's not to say I don't have other Really Really Really good friends, but in terms of comfort level, almost family type friendship, and I'd have her baby for her if she couldn't, it's her.

So to embarrass her a bit, here's my favorite photo of her on my blog.

Doesn't she look so peaceful?

More photos on this post.

So, I'm wishing my BFF a great day, a great weekend, a great life.

Thanks for reading! Go tell your Best Friend what they mean to you, too.

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. ^_^

Make up Spree

A favorite make up maker, Sugarpill is having a sale today!

I got some samples from the Creator a while back, and was very impressed how brilliant and well the colors covered. But, hard deciding which colors to buy.

I previously mentioned that Sugarpill was the official make up of the 35th anniversary Hello Kitty show.

Can't wait to create.

I limited myself to Four for now...

And they give you Glitter Stickers with each purchase~>

Sanrio Gyaru outfit. Comfortably cute.

Cow Gyaru~> Yee Haw!

Howdy Cowgirls and Cowboys! I done put a Dude spin on my Gyaru outfit from Tralala.

Shirt gyaru!

I have several blogs about Liz Lisa and the gyaru style. But with most fashion movements, and art, the acceptable styles are quite broad and all encompassing. Luckily for many, that allows our creativeness to fly free.

Here is my Boyfriend shirt style gyaru look.

Happy Earth Day!

 In celebration of Earth Day, I put together a super floral Liz Lisa outfit!

Dress: Liz Lisa

Bloomers: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright

Socks: Unknown, Cousin's hand-me-down

Hairpiece: Handmade

Lolita Harlem Shake

There's a Popular video on-line right now, called the Harlem Shake. Well, my friends made their own version. I keep watching it over and over to see what funny things each is doing. I don't know everyone in this video, but hopefully we will meet one day.

New Phone?

Been wanting a Smartphone, but there are a few things holding me back.

I like keyboards, I don't want a phone that easily cracks, but I want cute cases.

Particularly this case in point:

This case is so Wonderful! (Get it?) It's Little Twin Stars, Sanrio characters I love, having a Tea Party, but also, it's Alice in Wonderland with the Mad Hatter~>

Maybe I'll just collect cute cases.

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.
