This is the sec­ond half of the really long blog post. Mostly, I am post­ing my get from the week after the meet. But, I did do some­thing besides shop, so hang tight and I’ll get to it.

Finally decided to invest into some Dolly Wink lashes. :] I think it was the sweet girl set that I bought.

They really bring my make up together and makes it look so much more dolly than just using a lit­tle bit of mascara.

Bought these from Mit­suwa while hang­ing out with my waifu, Caitlin this past week. They’re won­der­ful, though I’m still fig­ur­ing out the bot­tom lashes since those are pretty much new to me all together.   Richie was also finally able to accom­pany me down to Irvine and we did a lit­tle bit of shop­ping. Went to the Rilakkuma store, had some awe­some ramen from Ajisen and then did purikura to fin­ish the day off since Caitlin had to leave for class. After she left, we walked around The South Coast Plaza and I bought a book to put my purikura in.

I had fallen in love with Caitlin’s keyring so she took me to buy one like it. It was the last one in the store! I got lucky.

These I bought directly from Caitlin. They’re btssb Mille Fueille plat­form shoes.

The soles are wooden, but sur­pris­ingly light and com­fort­able! Beats wear­ing heels all day, that’s for sure.

Chocomint acces­sories that I received some time ago while doing a group order. Never got around to post­ing them so, here they are!

Richie’s first purikura pic­ture!

For­got to scan it before I put it in the keyring and now I can’t get it out.

This past Sun­day, I went back down to Irvine to hang­out with Caitlin again. She had some local lolita that she insisted that I meet so I did. We stopped in to Crepe de Paris and had lun­cheon there and talked about the upcom­ing hap­pen­ings in the com­mu­nity for Sep­tem­ber. I’m hop­ing to make at least one of them see­ing as how Richie may or may not be able to go. (Usu­ally, this is because we’d never make it back in time for him to get to work and it’s not a good idea for him to miss work. Espe­cially because Irvine is about 2 hours away! )

Here’s how I did my make that day. As you can see I’m using my Dolly Wink.

The first thing that Caitlin said when I arrived was, “Omg, you look so cute! D: I don’t even–”

Guess I’m doin’ it rite?

My coord. I was wear­ing a blue cardi­gan but I traded my pony bag (+$30) for this Dream­ing Mac­aron cut­sew from Angelic Pretty. Sur­pris­ingly, it fit my big boobs. Then again, if it fits Caitlin, I can have faith it’ll fit me. (She’s gifted in the chest area too. )

Towards the end of the evening, Caitlin and I decided we wanted to do purikura. A friend of ours was feel­ing pretty crappy lately, so we encour­aged her to come out and meet us to do karaoke and purikura.   I think it made her feel a bit bet­ter.

Top to bottom:

Caitlin, Chris­tine and then me on the bot­tom.

And so this con­cludes the really long blog post series! Really, I should have just bro­ken this up into a few dif­fer­ent posts, but I am lazy.

Good night all!

I received my Swan Lake in the mail! It’s absolutely more beau­ti­ful in per­son than I thought it would be. It’s vibrant and very eye-catching. As I have explained time and time before, this print is a print I had seen on a girl walk­ing down the street in Down­town L.A. two years ago. She had the black col­or­way and it was just as vibrant except w/ blues in it. (I want the black color way too, btw. ) It made me fall in love with Lolita in a way I had never loved it before. I knew about lolita, I dab­bled in it dur­ing Jr. High and High school, but when I saw that print, I knew one day, I’d own it.

So, here we go!

Both my pack­ages arrived safe and sound, after a small mis­take at the post office. They scanned in the wig as received at 6:00am but it hadn’t even been deliv­ered because they don’t do deliv­er­ies at that hour!

The beau­ti­ful skirt! As you can see, it needs a lit­tle bit of gen­tle iron­ing as it was bought NWT and it’s prob­a­bly spent a lot of time in its package.

Glo­ri­ous close up of the print. (Do those swans remind you of a sozai I have on my blog? )

And last but not least, a photo of it worn. The skirt sits pretty high on my waist as it’s a bit too tight to be near my hips (LOL @ my hips being puffy cause they are. </3)

On to the wigs!

This was a bit of a sur­prise in two ways. #1: I ordered wig spray, but didn’t get it. I’ve con­tacted Cyper­ous so I’m hop­ing they can help me resolve this. I have a feel­ing that if who ever was pack­ing is any­thing like me, the bot­tle was right next to the box but they for­got to put it in.

As you can see, the bouf­fant is not as promi­nent as the other wig I ordered. A lit­tle teas­ing might help it pouf up though.

The dif­fer­ence between the two is phe­nom­e­nal! I love how relaxed the new one is, it’ll allow me to wear it with more casual styles in or out of Lolita. I’m over all happy with the wig, but I’m a tiny bit upset about the wig spray as it was the one thing I was absolutely need­ing with­out a shadow of a doubt because brush­ing these things w/o detan­gler is just a night­mare.

I finally got my OP from Baby, the stars shine bright. It’s as cute as a bug’s ear. Except, the bodice wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. But, I’ll get to that in a bit. Let’s just start off with our rou­tine “pack­age open­ing” pho­tos.

Please be warned that the fol­low­ing is extremely image heavy.

There it is. The beau­ti­ful one piece. It’s lovely, but the more I looked at it after an unsuc­cess­ful try-on, I began to hate the bodice. I took it to Grandma’s to see if there was any­thing we could do to help it not only fit bet­ter, but look bet­ter while on. We released two darts in the back and it helped the fit quite a bit, how­ever, the dress, as a dress, looked awful on me.  So, I forced Ma (much to her dis­may) to chop off the bodice and help me turn it into a skirt. She almost cried cut­ting into it because she kept going on about how well made it was, but I’m a mean girl so I made her do it. (Really, it was cause I didn’t have the guts to make the cut myself  )

It turned out lovely though:

Over­all, I’m pretty happy with my pur­chase. I know now though that I should just stick with buy­ing JSKs or skirts as OPs don’t agree with my body-type.

I have some awe­some news that I can’t wait to share with you but since I promised, here’s our round up from the last few weeks.  It’s a lit­tle short-sided since no one else has really put up any­thing new. I mean, come on. Milky Planet and the new Berry series from AP aren’t even out yet.

So, first up, If you haven’t got­ten yours already, then it might be too late for you. Meta­mor­phose has released and sold out of their sum­mer lucky packs!  If you were for­tu­nate enough to get one, it seems there’s going to be bloomers in them which is a pop­u­lar LP item right now.  If you did not get one, per­haps you can wait and watch the sales_comm for some­one who wasn’t happy with what they got.  Who knows, you may find one of your dream items in there.

Now, onto the “pic related” news from Baby the Stars Shine Bright. They have finally released, along­side their Sug­ary Cake print, their CREAM*SODA*POP series!!

Ok, and my good news is: I bought this in a one piece (as seen above)!!   It’ll not only be my first OP, but my first brand name dress. Before this dress, I had seen dresses from Brand name places that I liked, but not loved. Other than the Swan Lake print from Meta, this is the only other dress I’ve truly fallen in love with. I’m get­ting the whole set so that I don’t feel like I’ve cheated myself out. (Head­bow, dress and the match­ing socks)

As far as the com­mu­nity goes, there is a meet-up being orga­nized for AX in LA. So far, we’re still vot­ing on where we’re going to eat so no RSVP has been opened yet. If you’d like more info and to track this event, please click here.

And today is the last call for RSVPs for the Glen­dale Moon­light Roller Derby meet! It’s tomor­row, June 26th at 6:30pm. I’ll be bring­ing cup­cakes, and if any­one needs a ride, email me for my phone num­ber, I’ll pick you up for 5$. For more infor­ma­tion and to let our host­ess receive your RSVP, please click here.

So, instead of post­ing my roundup this week­end, I skipped. Well, more like delayed. I’ll still be doing it but it won’t be posted until Fri­day night. I’ve got lots of other lit­tle things I’d like to post first.

So firstly, King Richard got a sec­ond job, full time, at his old job as a patrol dri­ver! This is excit­ing since it’s hard to even have one job in this econ­omy. We’ll finally be able to save up and move. We’d like to move to Ven­tura which would be closer to my work cause at the moment, I have a 25 minute com­mute from the beach to nearly the col­lege! Eats gas like crazy!

Sec­ondly, I received my KING BLUE cir­cle lenses from PinkyParadise.com. I’ve never ordered cir­cle lenses so I went with a site I had seen oth­ers use fre­quently. The ship­ping was a bit much since I didn’t wanna wait 7–25 days. But, I guess you pay for con­ve­nience. They came with a cute pink froggy case to store them in.

I had to buy a new hair straight­ener this week­end. My old one took a dump on me. The plates were mak­ing an awful smell and were just get­ting to the point where it wasn’t straight­en­ing my hair very well any­more. But, it’s ok. I guess I wanted a new straight­ener any­ways. I can’t seem to get them to last beyond one year though! Does any­one have any tips on how to extend the life of them? Let me know!

Let’s see, all I’m wait­ing on now is my order from Cyper­ous and my Qutieland order but I’m not expect­ing that to be done any time soon since QL likes to take their sweet time.
