Tune in Tokyo and Cherry Jelly Productions event and Sneak Peeks!

Photobucket



 I know it's only one day away, and if any of you are in the LA area please check out; Tune in Tokyo and Cherry Jelly Productions 12/21 event "AKIHABARA WINTER WONDERLAND." I will be launching some  my new products.

Here are the previews:

This is my new "Star Burst" giant bows. These have the two way clips in the back and you can clip or pink it everywhere! 

Here is a close up of the "Star Burst" giant bow. This is really great if you want to make a statement  with your outfits.

These are my new "Fairy Wish" cell phone charms. This is perfect for any phone or bag, if you need that extra bling. I made this with the thought of one of my friends, Danielle, who likes cute things, but she prefers a more mature and classical attire.

I hope to see many of you guys there!
Thanks for reading. :3

T'was the Night Before Christmas (Lolita Meet-up)

Photobucket



Hi Everyone!!

I hope every one is enjoying there weekend. :D It has been a great weekend for me because my boyfriend took me to this awesome lolita meet up that Oli, Amber, and Tani has set up. There were so many lolitas that were beautifully dressed. *__* I was so impressed.  I had such a lovely time and I hope that all the people who went to the meet up had fun too.

The meet up consisted a swap meet/  boutique, which I participated in. I have some new products for my shop, Kawaii Carnival at the meet. (I will post pictures of my new products soon.) ^^ Most of at the boutique were doing some major shopping. There were so many cute items that I wanted to buy, which were just killing me. Anyways, after everyone did their morning shopping, we headed towards the main event which was the tea party. Each table was nicely decorated with Christmas motifs, which I just adore; and each seat was presented with a plate of food. On the plate we had a scone, two tea cakes, a piece cumber sandwich, a piece of a chicken salad sandwich, and a mini chocolate cupcake. The drinks that were served were water with sliced of cumber for taste, and tea. There were also different music that was playing, some of them set the mood and some were a little dark or hard core. I think some of the music was a little hard core because this meet up was also celebrating Halloween as well.

During the tea party, there were prizes that were given away to the first 30 people who arrived early. There was also a contest for three people who were best dressed for the event. One of my friends, Angela, won for best dressed as a Christmas theme. She was really adorable in her outfit. After that we had a  Secret Santa exchange for all those who brought gifts. I didn't bring any because I didn't have time. ;3; Then there was a bingo game that came right after. My boyfriend was so cute ,he teamed up with  Ariane's husband  and they had two and three bingo cards, and they still lost every game. lolz. In the end of the games, it consisted of four winner. I lost each time.;__; It was fun any who. :D When the tea party was over we went back to the boutique  and did some more shopping. lolz. When the clock stroke five, all the venders had to pack up and everyone had to leave, and we said our good byes and await for the next meet up. ^0^

I wish I have gotten more pictures taken, but I was so preoccupied. I feel so bad. Here are also some pictures that my boyfriend took:

Anime Expo 2011 update and Kawaii Carnival shop news

Photobucket


Hey everyone!

It's been a while since I have updated.

Well, during the month of July, I attend AX 2011 and I had an Artist Alley both there. It was so much fun, but a lot of work. I met some awesome people at AX. This year it was really crowed on Saturday and Sunday at the exhibitor hall, more than last year. I think it's because of the awesome Miku concert that was held there.

Here are also some pictures that other people  took:
This is our booth taken by the LA weekly. lolz my face.http://www.laweekly.com/slideshow/anime-expo-2011-day-one-friday-33682270/32/

This is me and Roxanne, who looks awesome Sailor Pluto.  I was so happy that my boyfriend asked her and her boyfriend to come to my booth. I am such a big fan of Sailor moon, and I was so happy to see her cosplay as a sailors scout. *nostalgic*

I think this is me on the third day of AX. My friend Sami took this picture. <3

There are more pictures but they are not mine, so please check out LA weekly or my friend's blog:

Canon Camera and Rilakkuma Get

Photobucket



Hi!

I hope that everyone has had a wonderful week. ^^ Yesterday, I got my Canon 12.1 mega pixel camera in the mail. I have been needing a compact camera for a while and I have been putting it off because I thought my SLR would be efficient,which it is, but I cannot carry that thing around with me everywhere. It is to heavy and on top of that I take to carry a 3 to 5 pound purse with me, daily. I just think I have to be prepare wherever I go. Plus, it is really inconveinet at a lolita meet-up.

I really love my new camera, it takes fantastic picture as we can see below. My boryfriend took me to the Rilakkuma store near his house to get me a camera case. While it's rare for me to get one thing of Rilakkuma. I also go this cute key chain with Rilakkuma on a stack of pancakes. lolz. It really reminds me of my boyfriend because he really likes my pancakes. lolz. XD

Anyways here are some snap shot pictures that my boyfriend took of me at the store. <3


I love the new bag that they have at the store. <3

All the goodies! *__*

I love the camera bag, it really looks like a retro camera. ^^

Lolita Inspirations/Origins




   http://www.mirukuma.com/
http://www.mirukuma.com/
Hi Everyone!

Have you ever had some body or some thing that inspired you? I was looking back in how I got into lolita, and how I came to love this fashion so much.

I think  my inspiration went as far back as when I was probably five years old. I have always been intrigued with pretty frilly things. I really loved the dresses that princesses would wear, even though I had no interest in wanting to become a princess myself. If I had to pick something out from my childhood inspiration it would be; Barbie and Care Bears  which has played a big factor in my obsession with Over the top (OTT) lolita style.Barbie always wore the best dress and she was always wearing my favorite color, pink.

During my rebellious years dressing as a goth in  high school is when I found out about the famous Mana from "Malice Mizer" or his current band "Moi dix Moite." I honestly thought he was a girl, until one day one of my friends told me he is a guy. I have to admit I was shocked to death because he makes such a pretty girl. Anyways, when I found out about him is when I really got into lolita. I tried to find some authentic lolita dresses, but at the time it was really hard to obtain because one, lolita wasn't that popular in the US and two, I didn't know where to get actual lolita items. lolz. So, I guess you can say that I started off as an ita. haha *We all had to start some where."


When I got into college I met girls who really knew about the fashion and where to get them. I met a girl by the name of  Anya, who told me all about Angelic Pretty (AP). This brought back my love for super cute and colorful thing. *__* We all know where Angelic Pretty is made out of, which is pastel vomit with tons of sugar rush. What really got me into wear actual lolita, instead of being an ita is; the previous model for AP, Amo. I know she has a full team of crazy make-up artist and photographers that make her look fabulous.Regardless, she is still adorable.

Now, I am inspired by alot of people and things. I really enjoy lolita fashion so much. Through out the years, lolita has expanded to a broader spectrum making it very versatile. These are the people and things that inspired me in this fashion.

I hope you enjoyed this entry.
