I finally did it.
I had been building up a huge cart of items on Bhiner (a Taobao shopping service) for almost a year now... and I finally went and bought it all!
Okay so I didn't buy everything I had in there initially-- after a bit of trimming, I shortened my list, but it's still the most I've ever purchased in one go. I've gotten large packages when shopping from Japan (like my many DeJapan hauls), but those I built up little by little. With this haul, I got 25 20 things at once (not 25 because several items ended up being out of stock ;A; )... granted they're not all large items (there are many small accessories/cute things, which I won't show in this post).
Today, I thought I'd share some of the highlights of what I bought! I'm really excited to get it, especially since some of these things I've been wanting for quite a long time ^^
Without further ado, let's begin!
Wigs
I don't wear wigs much in day-to-day life, but I do enjoy wearing them for photos/videos, and I've been wanting to get some more natural coloured wigs for a while now, so I decided to get them in this haul! I purchased both wigs from the shop Dream Holic, which by far is the best wig brand I've ever tried (granted, I haven't tried many, but I think it's still worth mentioning!)
Their wigs are amazingly soft, beautifully coloured, and don't really tangle all that much. They're about mid-range in terms of price, but I think it's really worth it.
I got two wigs from them-- I wanted to try out some other Taobao wig shops too, but in the end I decided it would just be better to get two quality wigs from Dream Holic rather than one quality wig, and one or two mediocre wigs.
I've been wanting to get a shorter wig, and so the first one I got is the "Miss Poppy" design!
I've never owned a wig this short, but I think it will look really cute!
I got it in the "Macchiato" colour, which is a beautiful and fairy-like platinum blonde colour.
I think it should look quite cute! And it's probably really easy to keep neat-looking too, due to the very short length.
The other wig I got was the "Miss Scarlet" design-- I think the curls on it are really beautiful and elegant looking.
I got this wig in the "Cocoa" colour, because oddly, I don't yet have a brown wig! I like the warm tones of this colour.
I think this wig will be really cute with more bordeaux/mori girl coordinates, and I'm really looking forward to it! The length seems really nice too-- I sort of wish my actual hair looked like this.
Clothes
A while ago, I saw a really cute mushroom print dress on the lolita clothing retailer DevilInspired (where if you use my coupon code "milk" you get 11% off!)-- however when I recently checked back it was already out of stock ;_;
After a bit of digging though... I was able to find it on Taobao!
Although the version of the dress I initially saw was the OP, I noticed on the shop that they actually also carried a JSK, which I thought would be more flattering, since the OP had a sort of sack-like shape to it...

I was torn between the white/ivory colour-way, and the ochre one, but in the end I chose the white since I figured I'd be able to pair it with more things this way! I saw try-on photos of it with a pretty dusty pink blouse, as well as with a really gorgeous red blouse... which I ended up getting too!
I just thought the two of them looked so adorable on the model, so I just had to get both!
I am a bit worried that the blouse will be just a bit OTT on me (like, look at the puff on those sleeves!) but I think it's worth a try!
Update: This blouse ended up being sold out ;^; So I couldn't get it >< But I thought the stock photos still looked really cute, so here they are.
(isn't it just the cutest?? I'll probably wear it without the waist ribbon though... since it sort of reminds me of children's Easter dresses ^^" )
I initially ordered more clothing items, but a lot of things sadly ended up being out of stock so I was refunded for them... oh well ><
So, the other clothing item I got was this tank top! It seems like the perfect piece for layering, and since it was quite cheap, I happily got it~
I also purchased a dress that would have looked really cute with it, but it was out of stock ;-;
Mori girl is a style I really want to start wearing more-- I always feel so pretty in it! I was going to order more mori things in this haul, but then other things caught my attention, and I ended up leaving a lot of them out... but I guess there's always next time!
Accessories
The next item is sort of on the brink between being clothing and an accessory-- it's a petticoat!
This petticoat is from the lolita brand ChessStory, which is a brand I have purchased from before and really liked. This doesn't seem to have too much poof, which is perfect for me. I have a few pieces that I think would look much better with a petticoat, so I decided it would be a good idea to finally get one!
Moving on to some of the actual accessories I got~
The first thing is his headbow, which is from the same brand as the mushroom dress. It seems to be made of a sort of fake suede/velour material-- I'm not too sure? It's really cute though, and I'm quite fond of the dusty pink colour. Assuming I'm not too self-conscious to wear it out because of how huge it is, I think it will look cute with a lot of items in my wardrobe!
Here you can see the model wearing it with the mushroom dress and a blouse in the same shade of dusty pink-- I think the combination is oh so cute!
Lastly is this really pretty flower crown~ Why I got this, I'm not too sure, but I do think it looks adorable (and of course, I couldn't pass up the low low price of $4...)
This post was supposed to be a bit longer... but unfortunately several of the larger items I ordered ended up being out of stock. Good for my wallet, I suppose, but a bit sad for me, since they were things I was quite looking forward to ><
Regardless, I'm looking forward to showing these items, and the other small things that I got, in a haul video once everything arrives! Hopefully that will be soon.
I hope you liked this lil post~ I'm really looking forward to wearing all the items, especially the wigs and dress!
Until next time ♡
All of this stuff is so adorable! I can't wait to see how you coordinate them~!♡
