♡ Things I'm Waiting for in the Mail | A Very Blue DevilInspired Haul ♡


Hi everyone!
Today I'll be doing the sort of post that I don't believe I've done before-- things I'm waiting for in the mail! Recently DeviInspired reached out to me once again to see if I wanted to review some items, and I gladly said yes because I always love working with them (I have several videos on my YouTube, if you're interested in learning more about them and seeing the products they have available!)
In short, DevilInspired is an online shop that carries a large number of lolita and kawaii fashion brands; I think they're a fantastic resource if you're interested in Japanese fashion!
DevilInspired gave me a generous amount of credit for their shop so I was able to pick out a lot of cute things that I'm really excited to receive in the mail~ I'll do a try-on haul once they arrive, but for now, a little teaser of what I'm expecting! I'll include links to everything in case you're interested in a particular item ^^
I've been gravitating a lot towards cooler/blue tones lately, as you can probably tell by the items I chose!


The first item (and the one I'm most excited about) is this beautiful Oxford Lattice JSK by the brand Magic of Utopia~ I had never heard of this brand before, but I fell in love with this pinafore the moment I saw it! I think the green plaid is so cute~ The top bit is detachable, so you can wear it as a skirt or a jsk! I know I'll definitely get a lot of use out of this, both in my more casual and more cutesy looks ^^



The next item I chose was this blue x cream x brown skirt from the brand Mori Tribe~ I thought the colours of this were quite unique, and I love the little tag that says 'milk' in the bottom corner! Plaid tennis skirts are always super versatile and cute-- I love using them in my looks ^^

I got several cute tops in this haul-- the first being this college-style sweater from the brand No Worries! I chose this in the blue colourway; I really adore dusty blue shades, and the pink and white details on this look so cute~ I think it would look so adorable with a peter pan blouse layered underneath, or even with just a lacy tank top that could peek out from the neckline!


I thought this sailor collar blouse from the brand Labeau was super cute-- you can't go wrong with a sailor collar blouse! I chose it in the mint colour~ I was drawn to this blouse mostly because of the large ribbon tie it has, I think it's such a cute and unique detail (and I'm hoping the tie actually comes with the blouse eheh). I don't have any colours like this in my wardrobe so it'll be an interesting addition!


Another item from the brand Labeau-- this peter pan collar blouse! I don't really wear colours like this on my Insta, but in more daily life I love this sort of mustard colour, especially paired with dark red! So I imagine I'll be wearing it a lot at work hehe~ The texture of the fabric looks really nice too, I'm excited to see what it'll be like in person!


Moving on to accessories, I got this deer antler headband! Honestly I've been wanting this headband for years, ever since I first saw it on the site, and I finally decided to take the plunge and get it~ I really love the whole fawn aesthetic and I think these will just look so precious in the more creative looks that I do ^^ I chose them in white, but I think the caramel colourway also looks oh so charming!


Yet another somewhat impractical accessory is this witch hat from the brand C C Cat! Do I have any reason for this...? Not really... it was just so cute! It comes in a number of colours, but as I said, I've really been liking blue lately, so I chose it in that colour ^^ It had such a sweet and whimsical vintage feel to it~ I have a slight worry that it'll look silly on me, but hopefully it'll be fine!


I think patterned tights look really cute, and I was very drawn to this 'fantastic tablewares' pair from the brand Reina! I thought the pale grey printed on the white looked quite nice and subtle, and the design itself looks adorable (I believe there's a lolita print from the brand Baroque that looks similar, if I'm not mistaken/remembering names wrong?) Reina has a lot of cute printed tights-- it was hard to choose a pair!


And to conclude my haul, these velvet bow heart earrings! I wear earrings pretty much every day, they're my favourite type of accessory, and I thought these would be really cute to add to my collection~ They also come in black and white, but I love the look of red velvet so I had to choose these!


And with that, my haul is concluded! I can't wait to get everything, I know I'll have a lot of fun coordinating it all~ If any of these items stood out to you, or anything on DevilInspired's site in general, you can use my coupon code "milk" for a discount!
Thank you for reading, and I'll see you in my next post~
Bye-bye!


P.S... just how beautiful is this OP from Krad Lanrete? It's one of my dream lolita pieces; maybe someday I'll get it eheh ;v; I just wanted to include it to show that DevilInspired carries a huge range of pieces, from more affordable to more extravagant! I really hope to add this dress to my collection someday >< Do you have any dream items?


And with that, a proper goodbye!

April Favourites + a very pale coordinate~

もしもし~
hi everyone!

Just a quick update today- I made a new YouTube video showcasing some of my April Favourites, in case you're interested!
I also put together a coordinate a few days ago, which I was going to post to my instagram... but it sort of turned out too washed out. I've had a very specific image that I want on my account on there, but it didn't really fit into it...
But, I might as well post it here, so that at least someone can see it, if you actually read this blog ^^
Although to be honest, since changing my url, my view count has dropped a lot... but I guess that was expected.
Anyways, though, outfit:
Cardigan: Nile Perch
Dress: Liz Lisa
Shoes: Ebay (probably? they were a gift so I'm not 100% certain)
Purse: Aliexpress

In any case, I hope you all have a nice week
Bye-bye~

Some Recent Crafting~


Hi everybunny!
Lately I've been doing a lot of crafting, mostly for my Etsy store! 
I haven't felt super inspired lately to be honest, so this small burst of creativity has been quite nice ^^
So, I thought I'd share some of the little things that I've made, in case you're interested in seein

Bunny Earrings


I really like how these turned out, I thought they had a very Larme-kei look to them~

Cotton Candy Earrings


Bunny Choker
To be quite honest, I just got addicted to making pompoms (out of felting wool!), so I was inspired to make a lot of cute things out of them ^^"

Sailor Moon Transformation Brooch Choker
I really like how this turned out! I watched the most recent Sailor Moon series about a year ago and fell in love; I finally got around to making something inspired by it~

Strawberry Ribbon Kitten Choker
The design of this choker is really simple, but I thought it would make a cute subtle addition to an outfit~

Marshmallow Kitten Choker
I'll admit, I really like naming items in my store after sweets >///< Cause sweets are yummy, and who wouldn't want to wear something inspired by sweets?~

Pale Pink Satin Loungewear Set
I was really inspired by Nile Perch designs to make this loungewear set c: I've made several before, but this pink one was my first! I originally made it for myself, but then ended up never wearing it ;^;

Floral Cotton Bloomers
These were just a really simple pair of bloomers, but I like how they turned out, in particular how the green bows compliments the tiny hints of green in the pattern!

Anyway, I hope you liked seeing some of my most recent projects~
Thank you for reading!
Bye-bye~

Shopping with ZenMarket + Mini-Haul~

Hi everyone!
Today I thought I'd write about my experience using ZenMarket!
(this isn't a sponsored post, I jut wanted to share my experience for those of you who might be hesitant about using shopping services)
So let's start!

For those of you who don't know, ZenMarket is a shopping service that you can use to purchase things from online Japanese shops! Whether it's the Japanese Sanrio site (which has a much bigger selection than the American one) or Yahoo Japan Auctions, you need a shopping service because the majority of stores don't ship out of Japan. 
I was always intimidated by shopping services because the process seemed quite complex, with spreadsheets and emails and large service fees; it just seemed like a lot to handle. However with ZenMarket it was all really straight forward; you just link the item you want (and specify if you want it in a certain colour or anything like that)!

Once you've linked the item, it usually takes around a day or so for them to process the request. Once that's done, you can pay for the item, and they'll purchase it for you! Then, once the item arrives at their warehouse, you can either have it shipped to you, or you can wait for your other packages to arrive if you've ordered multiple things.
ZenMarket charges a 300 yen service fee per item, which I don't think is too bad considering other fees that I've found~
Once all of my items arrived in the warehouse, I chose my shipping option and they were shipped out really quickly! I chose the EMS shipping option, and everything arrived safely packaged in less than a week~
On the whole I had a really pleasant experience shopping with ZenMarket, and I'll definitely be using them in the future!
And now to the fun part: the things that I got!
In my previous post I mentioned that these were the things I was waiting for in the mail, so it's not much of a surprise as to what I got ;u;
What I was most excited for was...
This Little Twin Stars collaboration cardigan from Nile Perch!!
I've wanted this cardigan for so long and I'm so happy to finally have it ;u;
The details on it are just so so so perfect ^-^ 
I love the little star buttons so much~
And the tags that came on the piece were really cute too!
I don't have an outfit photo for this yet, but I'll try to take some soon ^.^ I really like the colour of this cardigan because it's pink but not too pink; I think I'll be able to coordinate it with a lot of things!

Next up is this top from Lazy Oaf!

I thought it had a really cute retro vibe to it, and I've wanted it for a little while now so I'm happy to own it ^.^
I'm having a bit of trouble thinking of what to coordinate it though to be honest ;u; Today I'm just wearing it with a pair of taupe jeans cause I couldn't think of anything else OTL
I do still like it a lot though~

And the last item that I got was this choker from RoseMarie Seoir!
This was another piece that I've wanted for a while. I really like RoseMarie Seoir's designs, but they're quite expensive unfortunately ^^" I was able to get this for a good price though so I'm happy about that~
The seller also packaged it in a really cute bag~


On the whole, I was very happy with my shopping experience! I finally have a way to get things from Japanese shops that's not too much of a headache ^.^
I hope you found this post useful! Or that you at least enjoyed seeing the few things that I got~
Thank you for reading!
Bye-bye~
