Getting ready for summer ☼

Vent first

So lately I've been absolutely lacking. Lacking money. Lacking a job. Lacking motivation. Lacking inspiration. And lemme tell you, it totally sucks. :( I've been trying to dismiss these feelings of hollowness --becoz negative feelings = more negative feelings = negative life events-- but I can't seem to no matter how many creative activites I hurl myself into.

I've tried watching some of my favourite movies~ Breakfast at Tiffanys, Roman Holiday, Clueless, Marie Antoinette... I've tried making collages, which only resulted in my sulking coz I can't afford any of the clothes I collaged [well, I could, but I'd be broke fml], I've tried rearranging my room, doodling, writing etc etc~ nothing worked, so that's why I'm blogging today! :D

I'm feeling better already, being able to vent a little, and talk about me lololol I also had a job interview on Friday, and will be calling them to follow up on my status after I finish this post! I also plan on working on a few reviews later, and HOPEFULLY do a hair tut that someone requested back in February. X:

Ok I'm starting to sound long-winded. This entry is going to be basically what I'm wearing this summer ^ ^ it isn't sponsored, more so just for fun!

ONTO THE POST~

Liz Lisa

 

a girl can dream LOL

 

The rosy playsuit on the bottom left is SO freaking CUTE!!! I don't know if I'm willing to drop $100 dollars on it, but I just might over indulge when my birthday comes around lolol

 

Webstore. . . [click] 

Brandy Melville

Super love the top left tshirt, and high-waisted floral pants ❤



I discovered this store back in November of last year, and it immediately became one of my favourites. ❤ They carry cute items that are super feminine and edgy~ Everything is also well-priced, in my opinion.

 

Here's a dress I got for Christmas 2012!

 

 

It ties in the back, and is super flouncy!

 

Also not available anymore.

 

Webstore . . . [click]

 

American Apparel

 

 

 

 

I already have a petticoat from AA, but I really want another one lolol~ the lilac is especially pretty, along with a pistachio color that they have ❤

 

Webstore. . . [click]

 

Wildfox Couture

 

 

 

Wildfox is turning into one of my favorite stores. They are super bubblegummy, and carry something for everyone and feed every interest!

 

They are quite pricy, but I believe it's worth it since their items are so unique and cute! I really want to get the "Things I love" shirt, and most definitely the baby pink "Love Potion" sweater since it features my two favourite colors-- pink and gold!

 

Webstore . . . [click]



 

 

ending with a pic of me!

 

the only snap that turned out ok from the fifty selfies I took LOL. I tried really hard this time at gyaru makeup. Usually I just pop some lenses in, and put top falsies on with little eyeliner on top. But this time I did the whole sha-bang! I spent over an hour trying to make it perfect, and I'd like to think I did ok :)

 

Also did a review for some lashes that day;; it'll be up as soon as I edit pictures ^^

 

ok tata! ❤



Liz Lisa boots!

I FINALLY HAVE MY OWN PAIR OF LIZ LISA SHOES!!!! OMGOMG~~

LL was having a huge sale [like, 80% off almost everything omg] and I managed to snag a pair of scalloppd, bow adorned, beige booties before they sold out!! ❤ I'm a U.S. size 6-6 1/2, and ordered a size M. There's some wiggle room. Only when I have like four pairs of socks on does it fit perfectly LOL. But even without the socks, the shoes don't slip off when I lift up my foot to walk! I definitely wouldn't go ahead and buy a pair of LL pumps though. They'd forsure be too big!
 
MMKAY I'M DYING TO SHOW YOU PICTURES
 
But before anyone asks, I ordered them from the official Liz Lisa site [here], and I used Tenso [site here] my guide [here].
 
Yes, the order as a whole was expensive. Shoes were around 30 dollars, and so was shipping.
 

 

:D :D

I really love the capped toes! ❤  

 

Back detail.

 

 

Closer view~ :) I love everything about these shoes man. The big bows, the thin criss cross, little flower indentations, gold hardware~ ❤❤

 

this actually might be what I love most about liz lisa shoes LOL when you're walking in the snow you can leave little liz lisa prints!

 

 

a shopping bag, and their most recent catologue is always included with the orders ❤

 

The shoes aren't just cute but they're also super comfy! :) and being beige, they go with just about everything.

 

That's it! I also ordered a pair of shoes from Dreamv, so I'll have a few pictures up of those sometime soon.

 

thank you for reading and sharing my excitement hehehe~ tata!

Using Tenso

HELLO ALL

For the past few months I've recieved a great deal of questions about how I've gone about ordering from Japanese webstores-- specifically, Liz Lisa! ❤ I've tried to answer all of the questions to the best of my ability, but there's only so much I can explain in my novel length worthy replies. I think what everyone needs is a visual :)

But, first off,

I've bought all of my cute LL clothes through a forwarding service called Tenso . . . [click] this service is extremely reliable, easy, and quick! I believe the only downside to it is that it's quite expensive X: when I bought my lucky bag from Liz Lisa, I paid almost just as much for service fees/shipping as I did for the bag. So it's like I bought two lucky bags > < I almost died. But I do not regret my purchase at all because Liz Lisa is absolutely worth it!! Alrighty~~ I'm babbling lol anyways,

LET'S BUY CUTE STUFF!~ ❤

Step #1: Get started with Tenso.

 

Go to the Tenso website, change the language to English, click Free Registration~ all in the top right corner. After you register you will need to go to your email, and click on the confirmation link. When you do so head back to Tenso, and click on the "My Page" tab.

 

There you will find your personal Tenso address to use at check out when you shop at Japanese webstores. :D :D

 

Your number is just for you so the Tenso peeps know which package belongs to who!

 

 

Step #2: Sign up for a webstore, and start shopping!

 

I'll be using the Liz Lisa webstore as the example today I know sHOCKER lolol

 

 

so cute i'm dying sjfkljfakfld. . . [site here]

 



 

 

At the top of the page click on the "register" button.

 

 after you're all done, scroll down and click the big pink button!

 

Then check your email for an account comfirmation link~

 

.

.

 

MMKAY LET'S SHOP :D :D

 

 

LET'S BUY THIS DRESS! supah cute, and perfect for spring! also on it's on sale :D

 

I tried to translate this to the best of google translate's ability lolol~ but to clear a minor thing up "Total Length" is from top to bottom, and then "Length" is from where the transparent collar ends to the bottom. [hope that made sense, ah!]

 

If it is any more help, I am 5'1 and around 92 lbs. My Liz Lisa dress fits me perfectly length wise, but it's just a little bit loose. However, it's not very noticable! Liz Lisa tops fit me perfectly, and bottoms do as well!! :)

 

Step #3: Check out

 

When you're all done check your cart, and click on the pink button to pay.

 

WHO'S EXCITED AFJDKLSDJFKL

 

go back to Tenso, and copy+paste your address!

 

 

 

I color coded everything so I hope that makes this part a little easier :)

 

click the pink button when you're done!

 

 

ALL DONE!

 

You should recieve an order confirmation email from Liz Lisa shortly, and then you'll get another one once it has been shipped~

 

Once your item has arrived to the Tenso warehouse, they'll send you a payment request [through email] for EMS shipping + service fee. I use PAYPAL to pay! Shipping is super fast, and I usually recieve my item within a few days! :D

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: EMS shipping is EXPENSIVE. For me, it's usually around as much as I paid for the items I ordered.

 

OK it took me FOREVER to finish this post~ I really hope that you can take something from it, and I hope that it makes you feel more comfortable with purchasing from Japanese webstores! I also hope you buy lots, and lots of cute clothes now so we can all be super cute. ❤

 

Feel free to comment if you have any questions! You can also ask me through my tumblr . . .[clicky]

 

tata!

Update + photo dump

HI HELLO
 
I've been nannying for the past week, and a half so I'm sorry for no updates!! But on the other hand I've watched Wreck it Ralph about fifteen times so nao I can quote entire moobie!!!! /annoy people lolol
 
I decided last month that my goal was to at least, blog four times a month, and upload two videos a month. As you can see, I have yet to reach both of those goals.... lol. trying to get more comfortable in front of the camera though I promise X:
 
But ya!~ so last time we sort of left of, I blogged about my Liz Lisa lucky pack. I have since ordered more goodies from Liz Lisa, and their sister store Tralala!! I am actually a little tempted to say that I like Tralala more than Liz Lisa wtf X: I think it's because for the school I'll be attending, solid black is the dress code, and Tralala has so much cute black shit. I didn't order any black items this time though wtf

 

I ordered two things from Tralala, and one thing from LL. They were having a REALLY huge sale omgomg I was about to go to sleep around 2 A.M. when I recieved an email about the sale. 50%-80% OFF GOOD RIGHT!!!!!

 

I'll show more what I got sometime soon, but what I was really please with was with the extra goods I recieved!!! I got a LL shopping bag, and small Tralala one ❤ also got Liz Lisa's spring look book........ I fricken puked rainbows oK.

 

Again, the only downside to this was hao damn expensive it was... fml..... anyways

 

SENPAI NOTICED ME

AKFJDSJKSJFJSFDKSDFKJSDFJFK HOLY SHT BALLS
 
I FORGET actually what I did....... I think I just commented on her photo, aND THEN SHE DID THIS. I nearly passed out rite!! Audrey has been an inspiration to me for years. I just caN'T.
 
But then.... it got better.....

 

*dies* *pukes ALL the rainbows*

 

This happened during church, and just sweet CHEESUS I COULDN'T HELP MY FLAILING. She's replied to me before, but nEVER like this!!! :D :D :D damn happy!!!

 

Ok. Have some random pictures nao.

 

Sugar Factory 2012 ❤

 

At Las Vegas. This is definitely one of my favorite trips so far. I've gone to Vegas almost every year since I was a freshman. Finally, in 2012, we went to a lot of fun places like the Sugar Factory, and Serendipity 3! I got so fat omg

 

S-U-G-A-R jump into your racin car! it's sugar rush! fml

 

giant ice cream (like 2x my size) greets you when you walk in! I wanted to get a picture with it, but while I fumbled with my camera three girls took over, and I was too timid to tell them to gtfo asdjfhksh

 

they served yummy sugary delights while you waited for a table~ I got some delicious marshmallow milkshake... I think it was called "The Barbie" :D it was like six dollars, and I didn't even finish it. I'm pretty sure I gave the rest to some drunk customer...

 

Wah! This is the only photo I've come across that has made me miss my brown hair wtf  ): but then I thought,

 

"This picture would look so much better with my blonde hair."

LOLOL

 

Serendipity III 2012 ❤

 

"Before he was anyone, Andy Warhol declared it his favorite sweet shop, and paid his chits in drawings. Photographers discovered the charms of Tiffany glass set against whitewashed walls. New York’s avant-garde caught on that nineteenth century junk was suddenly twentieth century chic." -- [click]

 

 

greeted by another 10ft tall desert wtf

 

Serendipity literally offered a lot of big food.

 

 

DONUT WAS AS BIG AS MY BROTHER'S HEAD.

HE. ATE. IT. ALL. AJFKDJSLFK. what the fat.

 

 

I went to a used book store yesterday! I came across a set of extremely old books. They were dusty, and inside some of them were lighty written dedications. I thought about buying the Alice in Wonderland one, but then decided against it. Nao I'm regretting it wtf

 

I picked up French, and Japanese pocket dictionaries instead! They were like a dollar :D :D

 

Ok, so if you know me at all, you'll know I have a burning LOVE for Chanel, and platform pumps. I came across these earrings yesterday~ 100% authentic, and being sold for $600...

 

I'm REALLY tempted to buy them X: ugh. Last time I tried to buy Chanel online was when there was a Chanel bow up for grabs for $150~ I thought about it for too long, and it was already sold when I was ready to buy. I can't find it anywhere nao :(

 

These are the Steve Madden "Dejavu Platform Pumps", and I am ABSOLUTELY in love with them. I am highly thinking about getting them. fjsdk. Thinking. That is something I should really stop doing. Steve Madden had a pair of pumps called "Babylonn" and now they don't sell them anymore. urghhhhhh. Someone should just make decisions for me since I am obviously incapable until the very last minute. fml.

 

Ah! okie, that's it for today! I hope this makes up for my lack of posts lol. I'm going to try, and blog a few more posts out in the coming days though.

 

ok. tata ❤



Liz Lisa Lucky Bag! ❀

HELLO~ this blog post is going to be CHOCK full of pictures!!!! or there might only be 2-3 I haven't decided yet since most of the pictures are of me lovingly looking down at my body wtf

But I supposed I have good explanation!! If you haven't already read the title, I recieved my New Years lucky pack from Liz Lisa last month!! :D :D :D but it was in customs for almost THREE WEEKS WTF I WAS SO MAD!!! In my defense, I had to wait a month and a half for it since I ordered it back in December. I knew it wasn't gonna ship out till January, and I was ok with that. But I also ordered another thing from Liz Lisa in the beginning of January, and it came before the Lucky Pack!! LIKE WTF

To order, I used an international forwarding service called Tenso! I am still having very mixed feelings about it coz it was REALLY expensive X: the shipping cost alone was almost just as much as the price of the lucky pack. If I remember correctly, lucky pack was around 5,000 yen. Use your imagination yeh. But other than that, the service was really great. The people at Tenso answered all of my emails promptly, and politely!

this picture first coz I adore how my hair looks! love blonde! :D

I was afraid the bag might be cheapo quality, but it's actually very sturdy! The only thing I'd change about it would be the inside. No pretty pattern or anything :( it just adds a nice touch yanno.

 

#1: White lace cami w/ bows.

I am in LOVE with this shirt. The bows absolutely complete it.

 

Lace straps! I love this shirt so much~ it makes me feel super luxurious, and elegant!! TY Liz Lisa for adding this to the lp ❤

 

❤ ❤ ❤

#2: White scalloped cardigan w/ pearly rose buttons.

 

this cardigan is SO SOFT!! ❤❤

the embroidery is super pretty! I also love that it's transparent to show off my non-existent collar bones lolol

 

#3: White and pink dress!

 

FREAKIN' CUTE RITE!!!!!!!!

oh my GLOB I was flipping out when I pulled this out of the bag!!! I've wanted a dress from Liz Lisa ever since I discovered the brand. It's totally and completely me. I feel so dainty, and adorable when I wear it :D

 

 

wearing my petticoat under also makes it super flouncy!! ❤

 

my hair here omg

j'adore!

bag also comes with a strap!

:) :) :)

 

There was another 5,000 yen lucky pack that was released with different pieces in it. I saw it on tumblr, and just DNW DNW OK!!!!! It was like a giant fuzzy jacket, and like satin bloomers IDK I was not fond of it at all hahahhaha! So I am VERY satisfied with what I got! I made a fail stop motion video earlier, and took like 500 photos wtf

 

Although it's fail I still really like it a lot. So here's the video!
 

Like, subscribe, comment, U KNO ~
