† Celestial Mahou Shoujo †~

Hi everyone!

I hope you're doing well ^-^

Today I just thought I'd share a little look that I put together a few days ago, I'm quite happy with it!

I've been meaning to coordinate this skirt from Ank Rouge more, because it was a dream piece of mine for a while ;^; Since it has constellations, I wanted to go for a sort of spacey theme, so I pulled out my moon cut-out blouse, and went from there!

I ended up adding things on and on until...

~Celestial Mahou Shoujo~

Wig: Shy Lolita

Top: Ank Rouge (maybe? It's missing the tags but it's high quality and is their design)

Skirt: Ank Rouge

Shoes: Juju 

Accessories: Eyecandy, Ebay, Gift

I'm really really happy with how this turned out! >< I've been in a sort of creative slump for a little while now, so it felt really nice to produce something I was quite proud of ;u;

I managed to style the wig into dango buns, which is something I've never done before! Although they didn't turn out perfect, I think it's pretty decent for my first try ehehe ^^" I really love this wig; generally I'm sort of iffy about wigs- I get them but then end up selling them shortly afterwards because they weren't quite what I was expecting, but this one is the exception~

I wore the earrings I got from Pastelbat's online shop (which I can't link right now because it's under maintenance ;^;) because they're so cute and fluffy and I thought they went well with my hair buns (I've actually done a review of the earrings here if you're interested)

Everything else sort of fell into place after that, and I added the wings as a final touch to make everything look much more magical~

So, what started out as just a vaguely spacey inspiration turned into a sort of angelic space magical girl look, or what I call Celestial Mahou Shoujo~ 

Sorry for rambling on and on about this, I just got really excited and happy when making this look and now sort of want to make an OC for her ehehe >///<

I also took some selcas (as usual) because I was quite happy with how my makeup turned out!

You can see the glitter on my cheeks quite well here~

I think that's all I have to write for this, I hope you enjoyed seeing a slightly more creative outfit of mine ^-^

Thank you for reading, bye-bye!

Things I'm Waiting For In The Mail~

hi hi~

Today I just thought I'd so a casual post, because I do want to write more on here~

So I thought I'd just share some cute things that I'm waiting for in the mail because I'm really excited~

I've been looking around a lot on the Japanese secondhand site Fril (it's essentially like Depop or Mercari), and I was able two find two items that I've wanted for a while now!

Lazy Oaf No Chance Romance Top

RoseMarie Seoir 'eat me' Necklace in Pink

I've really liked the Lazy Oaf top since it was first released (however I couldn't justify spending around $60 on it). I found it brand new on Fril though for a much more reasonable price so I decided to go for it~ I love the style of it!

I've also always loved the designs of RoseMarie Seoir, but they're an incredibly expensive brand unfortunately ;^; I fell in love with this choker when it came out, but it sold out really quickly. I found it in my desired colorway though, and for half the price of it new, so I happily got it!

Another item that I've honestly wanted for years is this Nile Perch Little Twin Stars Watermark Cardigan in pink!

For those of you that don't know Nile Perch, there's a popular Fairy Kei brand from Harajuku. Their clothing is handmade which I think is incredible, and all their designs are so pretty! I don't know if I've mentioned on here before, but I'm obsessed with Little Twin Stars, so this Kiki & Lala patterned cardigan is my dream piece ;^; I love how the star buttons are different colors!

Here's a photo of it coordinated~

*long rant about this piece incoming*

So I saw this cardigan on Tumblr (where else heh) for the first time a couple of years ago and fell in complete love. But then of course I forgot about it. A considerable amount of time later I found it again (on tumblr), this time with the shop name actually tagged! Excited, I went to their site, only to see the high prices. I figured I'd wait a bit, save up some money. So that's what I did. A few months later, with money ready, I went to their site again. But, tragedy had stricken. They no longer sold it. I was really sad and looked for it everywhere; but alas, could find almost no places that sold this brand second hand (this was before my discovery of these Japanese second hand sites, but that's another story). A few months after that, I was browsing the Japanese Sanrio site, and THEY HAD IT! I was incredibly elated, and it turned out they had restocked it on their own website as well! 

So finally I bought it, and now I'm impatiently waiting for my dream cardigan to arrive ♡

Those were the three main items that I'm waiting for right now. I used the same shopping service for all of them, so they'll arrive at the same time, and it'll be a very happy happy day once I get it~

I also made an order from the Japanese Amazon site, because they have much more reasonable prices for some of the things that I love~

Lululun Sheet Masks

Supposedly these are super popular in Japan, and I see them often in Japanese fashion magazines as well~

Yuzu Warming Eye Masks

I've tried these masks before in both the lavender and the rose scents, and they're quite nice! They're really nice before going to bed; I sometimes get really stressed at night so having something warm on my eyes helps with that. They don't stay warm for too long which is a shame, but I think they're a nice self-care item regardless~

Sakura Bath Salts

This company makes really nice bath salts, and they were almost five times cheaper on the Japanese Amazon than they were in stores when I've seen them ;u;  I haven't tried this scent before, but I think it will be quite nice!

Camellia Hair Water

My hair is quite damaged, and I've read nice things about this hair water, so I hope it'll help! Tsubaki/Camellia oil is supposed to be really good for your hair, it's used often in Japanese shampoos and conditioners~

Kitty Strawberry Mug

I can't resist cute mugs, and I fell in love with this adorable one~ I just find it so much nicer to start the day by drinking coffee from a cute mug instead of a boring one hehe

So, that's everything I'm waiting for right now!

And I can't wait ^.^ 

I always get so happy when I get mail~

Thanks for reading! Bye bye~

Are you waiting for anything nice in the mail right now?

Kirei Pink Lens Review {Klenspop Sponsored}~

Hi everyone!

I hope January has been treating you well~ Sorry about not writing for a little while- I started up classes again a few weeks ago and so it has taken me a little while to get used to things.

Today I have a circle lens review! Gosh I feel like it's been forever since I've done one of these ;^;

Today I'll be reviewing the Kirei Pink lenses, which were kindly sent to me for review by Klenspop! They're a fantastic circle lens supplier, and I highly recommend them if you're looking for a place to get lenses~

Anyways, let's start!

I'm really quite fond of the design of the 'kirei' lens series! I've reviewed them before in the blue colourway, and I think they're just so striking! The dark band around the outside makes the lenses stand out a lot on your eyes, however they don't feel too unnatural- because of the yellowish ring on the inside, they blend quite well with my hazel eyes! The design diameter of these lenses is 14.8 mm, which isn't massive, but it's still a fairly enlarging size. 

Here is how they look on my eyes~

Natural light

W/ Flash (sorry that it turned out so overexposed ;^; )

Dim room lighting

I really like that the pink shows up so well on these lenses! I originally got these because I wanted to do a Madoka Kaname cosplay, but then I realized I had no motivation to cosplay and so I ended up not doing that ;^; I still think they're very nice lenses nonetheless!

These are very comfortable as well! My eyes are quite sensitive, however I was able to wear these for a number of hours without having any discomfort. 

On the whole, I'm quite happy with these lenses! I think the design is very pretty- it's striking without being too artificial, if that makes sense. I highly recommend these, whether you're looking to use them for a cosplay, or just for everyday wear when you want to enhance your eyes~

Here are a few more photos of them on, just so you get the general idea of how they look~

Thank you for reading!

Bye-bye~

Valfre Luna and Bowie Choker Reviews~

Long time no see!

Sorry for not writing in a while- school was taking up a lot of time and I didn't have much motivation for writing anything at all...

In any case though, I hope you're all enjoying the holiday season, and that you had a nice Christmas if you celebrated it yesterday ♡

Today I thought I'd write a small review of some chokers I got from Valfre! They have a really nice selection of vegan leather chokers (and they also carry clothes and phone cases and that sort of thing). If I remember correctly, their stuff is handmade in California, which is really nice (correct me if I'm wrong though).

Anyways, let's start!

The chokers came in individual boxes which are quite sturdy. This is really useful because it makes storage much easier~

I was worried that they would have an artificial/plasticky scent (as fake leather often does in my experience), but these were perfectly fine~

Bowie Choker (Tan)

I thought this choker was really cute because of the large bow~ It comes in pink and black as well, but I figured that the nude one would be the most versatile and less garish (since it's already a fairly attention-drawing piece). It closes on snaps, which allows you to fit it to your neck size more or less.

I think this choker is really cute~ It's quite comfortable too! I honestly have no complaints about it- it's really well made and doesn't seem like it'll be falling apart any time soon.

Here's a worn photo of it~

I highly recommend this choker if you're looking  for something cute, but not too obviously cute~

And now for the next choker, which is my favourite of the two

Luna Choker (White)

I was really drawn to this choker because of the huge pom-pom~ I really love everything that's fluffy and I thought that this would be such a cute piece for winter.

Unlike the Bowie choker, this one closes on a buckle, which I really like because it feels much more secure that way. The pompom is also incredibly soft- if it wasn't stated that this was a vegan choker, I'd definitely think that it was real fur.

The construction on this one is also great~On the whole I really like this one because it goes with a lot of my outfits, so I can wear it frequently!

Overall I'm really pleased with the quality of Valfre chokers- they're really cute and well made, and I highly recommend them if you're looking for something unique and nice quality!

TT Black-1 Lens Review {Klenspop Sponsored}~

Hi everyone!

Happy (late) Halloween~

Today I'll be reviewing a pair of lenses kindly sent to me for review by the online store Klenspop. They have a lovely selection of lenses and I highly recommend them~

Anyway, let's get started!

The lenses I'm reviewing today are the TT Black-1 Lenses. They're currently $18 USD on the Klenspop site, and have a graphic diameter of 13.6mm (which will look quite natural on most eyes).

The stock photo~

Despite having a thick limbal ring, these look quite natural on my eyes, and just bring a nice amount of emphasis to them. Since the design isn't too colorful, they look pretty much the same in all lighting.

Window Lighting

Dim-ish Room Lighting

Camera Flash

I really like the emphasis these lenses give to my eyes, and the design is quite nice for everyday wear.

These aren't the most comfortable of my lenses however, and they dry out my eyes quite quickly. If you carry eye drops this shouldn't be much of a problem, but I don't really carry drops with me so it's not the most convenient for me. I like the design, but would only be able to wear them comfortably for a couple of hours (which is probably a good thing, because you're not supposed to wear circle lenses for a very long time).

Here are more photos of how the lenses look~ (I did try slightly more Halloween-ish makeup haha)

(and some photos of the outfit- I made the skirt myself~)

On the whole these are nice lenses, I just wouldn't wear them for a very long time.

Thank you for reading!

Have a lovely day~

StyleWe Autumn Dolly Clothing~

Hi cuties~☆

I hope you're all doing well!

A little while ago I talked about the website StyleWe, and today I thought I'd make another post showcasing some cute items they have~

Where I live, the weather doesn't really change with the seasons, but I still thought I'd show some cute items for the fall and winter.

Let's start! ☆

Pink Cotton Blend 3/4 Sleeve Midi Dress

I think this dress would look cute with a light jacket thrown over it~ It's a fairly elegant looking piece, and I really like the silhouette of it. Pink isn't really an autumnal color, but I just love everything pink hehe~

White Chiffon Long Sleeve Sweet Plain Stand Collar Tunic

This tunic-style shirt is a really unique piece that I think would be perfect for layering in a sort of cult-party-kei coordinate, or something like that. It seems to be really loose and cozy, which is what I look for in comfy autumn clothes~

Navy Blue Floral-embroidered A-line Sweet Crew Neck Tunic

Another tunic style top~ I think the embroidery is really cute on this one- I love floral embroidery on absolutely everything. This would look cute with a thick pair of colorful tights and boots maybe! I really like dresses that are this style because you can layer them with skirts and get a super cute layered look c:

Black Color-block Plain Shift Long Sleeve Mini Dress

I love love love dresses and shirts with big collars, so this dress really grabbed my attention~ The silhouette is quite simple, but the collar isn't just a plain collar so it's more interesting than your typical black and white dress. It's casual enough for every day wear, but it doesn't look too lazy.

Black Crew Neck Elegant Plain Sweater

This style of shirt seems to be really popular lately- it's quite elegant looking and would work quite well with a lot of different styles of skirt. It's a basic, versatile piece~

Wine Red Shift Bow Cape

Lastly is this super cute doll-like cape! I really love the color and the bow on the neckline- it's just so perfect for autumn and the holiday season. This is definitely a great way to doll up any outfit~

Thank you for reading! 

Which item was your favorite? And what's your favorite thing to wear in autumn?
