Downtown Disney

Not too long ago, I meet- up with two sweet lolitas Claudia, and Rae. My boyfriend and Claudia's cute baby boy were there as well. We met up to have some lunch at the Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney. From there we were browsing around in different stores. We had a great time eating and chatting. The down side was that it was scorching hot. I think we were going to melt in that weather.

It was really nice because it is good to meet up from time to time because not everyone can make it to huge meet- ups.

Anyways, here are some pictures:

This is me at Claudia's house.

jsk: ETC

wrist cuffs: AP

shoes: SS

Everything else is offbrand

My boyfriend also went with us. He is playing with Claudia's little boy. <3

My boyfriend  is such a sweetie for taking care of Claudia's baby! <33 Aren't they adorable?

The adorable Claudia and her baby playing with legos. ^^

The beautiful Rae and her Minnie Mouse inspired coordinate.

There were no pictures of food or the shops at Downtown Disney because I was too hungry and tired by the end of the day. None the less, I had so much fun!
I hope that there will be more lolita meet- ups soon! 

Thank you for reading!! <3 

Ramen date!

Sorry, it's been a while since I posted. I  have been very busy with school, and have no time to do much. It's project after project. I just hope the semester will end soon so I can get a break.
Anyway, my bf and I went on a small date to have some awesome ramen at sawtelle on 3/18/11. He was such a sweetie for recommending. <3 I would highly recomend that place. It's soOOO good. It's a nice break from the everyday grind.

I'm contemplating how good this ramen will be. lolz.

My sweetie is absolutely adorable!! <3 He loves ramen and could wait to just dig in.

This is the chicken with vegatable and miso soup ramen that I ordered. Most ramen places don't serve it with chicken so I was really surprised. Not too mention, it was delicious.

This is what my bf ordered. It's pork, vegetables, and miso soup ramen. I forgot the name of this, but he told me it was really good. ^^

This is fried potstickers. MmmMmMm, these were a good touch with the ramen we ordered.

Rating: 4.5/5

seating 3.5/5: The place is really small so if it's packed, like in lunch or dinner,you will have to wait outside. If you are starving, this could be a huge issue. As long as you don't come during rush hours, you're golden.

service 5/5: The service is fantastic! The two ladies who served at the restaurant are very sweet and thoughtful because if you run out of water, they will come promptly to pour you some. The food comes in a timely manner, like around 15 to 30 minutes depending the amount of guests that are there, and how much you order.

Taste 5/5: It's really good. You can just tell from the pictures! lolz

Overall, I really enjoyed my day, and I just wish I had more time to do things like this. I hope all of you are doing well.

Thank you for reading. 

Spring is Near...

  I went to Forever 21, last week to do some Spring shopping because I was in need of regular day wear.Outside of Lolita and J-fashion, I could look really mundane. I was running out of tops to wear as well.
:( There are tons of floral items at Forever, and tons of Mori Girl inspired stuff. I went a little crazy because I am addicted to florals and tights. They didn't have any tights this time I went, but I manage to snag alot of neat items. Plus, I went to H&M and got a bracelet and scarf.

        Something interesting happened when I was there that day. I was in the dressing room trying on the tops to show my bf if he liked it or not, and as soon as I was done. There was a girl trying on this really cute jean dress with white polka dots and I complemented her. I told her that it looked adorable on her. Then I went on my way. To my surprise she looked for me and told me where she got the dress and gave me a hug. She also gave me a complement of what I was wearing that day. I thought it was very sweet. It's not everyday, you meet a random stranger who talks to you as if you were there good friend. I think it's nice to give someone a complement, it can brighten someones day. 

Anyway, here what I got:

Here is a close up of the accessories and shoes:

I also set up some coordinates.

If you are interested in these kind of styles, I would suggest that you go to Forever 21. They seem to run of the items I want if I procrastinate even just one day. *sigh* I am not kidding when I say," Shopping is a war zone at times." LoLz.

Thank you for reading! :3

Devasating Earthquake and Tsunami Hits Japan

Hi Everyone,

This week has been a heck tick and tragic. As you all know the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan, which has left them with thousands dead or missing. Plus, there has just been a nuclear explosion in Iwaki, Japan. I just pray that everyone is alright, and that the missing people will be found, and I pray that God will show them mercy. ;__;

From Sweet to Classic or Gothic

Looking back, I have always been into sweet lolita, but during the fall of 2010 I started to be more interested in more muted color and dresses that I can wear out more. Don't get me wrong, I still really love sweet. I even want to decorate more room to look more like an Angelic Pretty store. It's just that I want to be able to wear out my lolita dress without blinding people with pastels.

I also know that many lolita are struggling with the issue of transgression from sweet to classic or gothic. Most lolita's think that they are too old for sweet and the like. As for me, I just want to try something new and see if it suits me. Too much of anything can be sickening. So why not try something new. It doesn't mean you have to quit an entire style all together.

Here are some pictures of me in sweet and classic:

Valentine's day, lolita meet- up, long past...

HuMmmm, I didn't do much on Valnetine's day because my bf and I were stuck at school, slaving away. *cries* The upside of that say was that my bf did take me out to dinner though, and he gave me a card. <3  He made me feel really special. He is such a sweetheart! X3

Not too long ago, there was also a Valentine's meet up on Feb. 20, which I missed. I was sad, but last Friday someone who went to the meet- up gave me a V- day's card from Sara, even though I wasn't there. ;__; Thank you, Sara!! I am so happy to have her as a friend. I even put near Dale, one of my favorite plushies given to me by my bf. :3

Have you ever had a friend or someone special do something nice for you? I would like to hear about it, if you are comfortable sharing. It's always nice to hear about good things. 

Have a wonderful day! :D

OphanimGothique Bonnet Review

Back in late November, early December I commissioned a bonnet from OphanimGothique. I wanted it to match my IW Lauretta Rose jsk. 

I received my bonnet in late or mid January. It took a while because she was busy during Christmas. None the less I was really excited! 

 She included her business cards, a cute note and a little gift. ^^

 I took a while to unwrap it because I wanted to be careful .

 AHHHH, it's absolutely beautiful!! Check out the details of her work.

Break down:

Price: OphanimGothique bonnets  ranges from around $80 to almost $100. It just depends on whether you want a full bonnet or a  half bonnet (like mine), and how much decoration you want on it.

Communication 5/5: Every time I messaged her, she responded quickly and efficiently. She has always updated me with pictures of what she has done.

Payment 5/5: I put a $35 dollar down payment, and I paid her the rest she was finished with the bonnet.

Shipping 5/5: The bonnet was well packaged in a priority box. There were tons of support, so there will be minimal to no damage .

Overall Experience: This bonnet was really well made. I love the fact that she added more roses when I asked her to. The only down side was that I wish she could have finished it sooner, but then again I asked during one of the most busiest time of the year. ^^;; Also the ecur is lighter than my dress, but I was able to match it perfectly with another dress that I have. Regardless, I would still rate her as a 5/5. She was very easy to work with and she tries to accommodate to your design and preference.

Here is her etsy page: http://www.etsy.com/shop/OphanimGothique
