New Year Resolution 2015!

As with every new year comes a new year's resolution. This year I'm trying to fulfill my resolutions that I make and not skip out on them (Which normally happens). So for 2015 I've made a little list of resolutions/goals that I will work hard to complete this year.

1. Get through this year's schooling without going crazy.
2. loose some weight =-=;
3. Limit spending to a minimum.
4. Save for Japan.
5. Succeed this year.
6. Get Furniture for room.

The two main resolutions I'll try to work harder against would be weight and limit spending. I ,myself isn't the smallest Lolita in the comm so I'd definitely benefit from a few Kg lighter. Also spending in general, I spend too much and mostly on impulse buys so I have to stop and save up for my japan trip at the end of 2014.

Well this was just a tiny short post and doubt anyone would care :3

Ultimate Dream Dressss!!! (sorta)

Well, it's finally here!

Through out the year and after many many failed auctions I've secured it. My dream dress. Whimsical Vanilla-chan OP.....but in pink. Oh wells, I can still look for the JSK in mint -=-;

After searching through Mbok on a faithful evening, I stumbled upon a auction for this dress. The starting bid was 5,000 yen and I immediately HAD to bid for it. It was the OP and even though it wasn't in the colour I wanted it was still the OP. The OP normally goes for about 18,000-50,000  yen so I was determined to scoop it up. There was about 2 other bidders interested which was competition. I put my max price in with Chibi and thankfully afterwards the other 2 bidders got stopped bidding and I won it! I got it for a really good price and am so sooo happy that I did!

Here it is!

I chose to ship it via un-regested airmail from Sendai to Sydney which took about 2~ish weeks. It normally takes only 1 but due to it being November and the X-mas rush it too longer.

Chibi packaged it in the perfect box! PERFECT!

 

Nice little card as always~

Was packaged nicely in a Btssb shopping bag. Upon first opening the box I had mistaken it for a AP bag but found it was a baby one. Quite deceiving when both brands use the same colour for their shopping bags.

And tada! The collar~ it was packaged nicely and fitted wonderfully. The dress wasn't that big and it didn't cost much to ship, around $25 Aud. I absolutely loved the collar and pearls; the pearls were the first thing I inspected and found no faults or anything wrong with the collar. Even though the listing had indicated a fault I could not fine any. win win.

( Camera Started to be stupid on me -=-;)

Now with it on my sewing form I can't express how god damn happy I am to own my dream dress in the cut I was after, not in the colour but that doesn't matter since now I can go after the JSK in mint ^-^ I love love LOVE this dress to infinity and beyond. The lace, pearls and print is everything I had imagined it would be. Perfection.

In other news: Recently just got a phone so that means better quality pictures next time.

Reunited at last!

~*~FINALLY! WE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN!~*~

After searching night and day for auctions with this print I finally. FINALLY SCORE IT! XD
This was my fist Angelic Pretty print I ever bought back when I  was getting started. I bought the skirt back in the beginning of 2013 of Candy Fun Fair in red in which I had asked the seller if the measurements of the skirt would fit me where I was answered with a yes. Bbbuutt when it came....nope. nudda. it wouldn't goddamn zip. I was heart broken.

I loved the skirt and the print, the colour and everything. Unfortunately I had to sell it off even with my attempts at trying to loose weight ;-; But thankfully a year and a few months later....and many lost auctions, I have now been reunited with my beloved print.
༼ つ ◕w◕ ༽つ joy joy!

As some may know from my Tumblr and it's influx of Candy Fun Fair related posts~ I'm extremely happy about getting this print and in a cut that fits me! I love Angelic Pretty's red colourway's they produce even though they are rather hard to coord normally, I really love this print especially the rose bouquet and carts. I never realized these details till after I had sold my skirt.

I used Chibi-Tenshi's service as always to snag the dress. I had just sold a lucky pack to a nice girl in the US and from the money had enough to buy that dress and another. I had originally stalked the dress's auction and gradually saw the listing price fall as no one was bidding on it. it originally was priced at 15,000 yen but fell down quite a bit and had a buy it now. I swooped down to snag it like the mastic thing that I am~

And here it is!

So extremely happy right now!

New AP Winter Release : Sugar Dream Dome

(Note: This series will be set to be released in store on 22nd November 2014.)

Another horse print from AP! This year's been a very horse driven year along with chocolate. This print is going to be added to AP's already long list of pony prints buuutt who's complain.

This series has been released just a few days ago but has become very popular. It's different from recent series and has a winter motif to it along with interesting colour contrasts with the pieces~ very sunset-ish tye-dye.

 The series is consisted of a one piece, two jumper skirts, kc, skirt, salopette and tights in four colour choices. This series is limited to only Tokyo and Shinjuku store release but most probably will be available online. The whole series reminds me of the Marshmallow Bunny Angelic Pretty did a few years back, especially the fur jumper skirt and salopette which is nice.

I have to say that this series doesn't really take my interest as it reminds me of looking like a New Year's lucky pack. Yet if I had to choose a piece from this series I'd grab the salopette in navy or pink since the colours I think work the best. I don't know why, I don't like it as much as I should but it may be due to me coming from a hot climate with no snow ;-; 

But never the less, I'm looking forward for more Angelic Pretty's releases for the rest of the year and next year.

Feeling a bit Purple today~

Recently I've been feeling  like a change in my appearance and decided to go all out and do something spontaneous  for a change and colour my hair. I've coloured my hair before but only with the little hair dye boxes you get at your local supermarket in natural shades. I had stopped dying my hair since the start of the year but found myself lacking.

To start everything, I had jokingly said that I'd get my cousin to dye my hair jokingly. But the thing is with family members that are hairdressers is that they follow through with things when hair is involved =--=; and so the next minute, I see my cousin with gloves, a bag of hair bleach and dyes so there was no backing down now.

She bleached my hair first outside.

Took about 6 hrs to get my hair that shade of blonde and I always had to wash it out with each layer of bleach. My scalp hurt like hell but I guess that was expected, couldn't bleach it white due to the fact my hair would have fallen out.  After all the bleaching was complete the colour could go on, but being my cousin she didn't get the right purple for me and brought me dark vivid ones when I asked for lilac =-=; next time I guess.

So this is the finished product.

Not the colour I  was going for and some of the purple didn't take to my hair properly but all in all it's manageable. I'm thinking of dying it green next time.

My First Lolita Meet-up!

On Sunday I attended my first meet up in Sydney! I was so excited and nervous since I hardly knew anyone there, we'll I didn't know anyone actually. I was extremely anxious and worried that I wouldn't be accepted or liked and would  only be as an awkward bother to them but I wasn't! They all welcomed me in to group instantly. I was extremely nervous and sorta awkward but everything didn't really care...well I hope no one cared.

But I'm so happy that I was actually able to go since last time I couldn't due to things getting in the way and not having enough courage to go out dresses in sweet. But I forced myself and I have no regrets. I got to meet people in my comm and see others that like the fashion as much as me so I'm beyond happy.

There was about 16 of us I think that attended which apparently was a good number that turned out and I got to see so many lovely coords and dresses (also adding a few to my wishlist hehe). Even though it was a casual meet I sort of felt a little over dresses =-=; oh wells.I really like this one girls coord and Skirt she was wearing! It was gorgeous and I had to apologize to her due to me touching the fabric and lace so much! It was Beautiful and her coord too!!! She wore a plain bordeaux  Innocent World Skirt and everything was put together well. I really liked her coord and got me thinking about maybe trying Classic.

Afterwards we went to Grill'd and ate burgers. Don't get me were here the burgers were humongous!I had to tactically attack the thing to finish it off! It tasted really nice and would defiantly be eating there again.

Also got this odd bottle cap from the cashier, he said that we could dispense it into a jar around the shop and that would equal $1 in which it'll go to a charity. Seeing that it was my first time there and out in lolita I was heartless and decided to keep it as a memento.

After lunch we went to Capitol for desert and games where I won my first Alpaca plush, I was so surprised that I actually managed  to snag one without loosing a dump  load of money or ragging a lot. I also ran into a friend of mines there which she had never seen me in lolita before and said she liked my coord ^-^ 

We finished the day off with Purikura and shopping at Diaso where I spent too much ;A; Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures but the next time I go out I'll make sure to take loads.  Hope to see everyone at the next meet-up/hang-out.

I don't have any pictures with me right of what  I wore (I'll upload some later)

Angelic Pretty Haul and Chibi-Tenshi Review

Hi!

I couldn't resist getting a few things from the Angelic Pretty online sale! I arrived late to the sale and missed out on a few good things but in the end I'm happy with what I ended up getting. I used the Shopping service Chibi-Tenshi. I had used her service before and this was the second time, I'm extremely happy with her service and how organised she is and would heavily recommend her service. 

I chose EMS and it arrived exactly 4 days after she sent it out. I paid her shipping and she shipped my item out on the very next day. When it arrived it came in a nice sturdy box, I couldn't help myself and opened it up on the kitchen table. I had to go to the post office to get it since my post man was a dick and didn't knock on my door when everyone was home and left a little note to tell me to pic it  up. Apparently he was scared of my tiny Pomeranian -=-;

The first thing I saw was the dress! I ordered the Magical Etoile JSK. I was thinking of getting it in pink but I already had a hell of a lot of pink dresses in my wardrobe and thought I might get something different. I was originally unsure whether to get the red or navy when they first came out but chose the navy at that time. I have two Magical Etoile JSK's now, both in the colours I wanted! The JSK came in a plastic bag with coat hanger and price tag with fabric swatch. ( I tested it and the print doesn't bleed!)

I also bought 3 OTK's and 2 necklaces which I'm super happy about but think I sort of spent too much ;A; Damn sales! Anyway besides my goodies the box was filled with balls of newspaper to prevent things from breaking.

I also got this lovely card from Chibi which I love very much. It's nice to get this in order's from SS's as it makes everything feel more personal.

Apart from my AP sale order I did also ask to get the OP and bag of the Upside down story Disney x AP release but apparently that was going to be a popular release. Chibi also told me that I was 15th in line for the release and told me that she'd try to get the items I wanted but in the end she wasn't able to get any on the release date. She did a instore to try to get my items but wasn't able too get any as most of the items were gone in an instant.

In the end I'm happy I was able to get everything I wanted from the sale.
