New Logo and Pastel Pony

Hey everyone!

As you can see I changed my logo and my background design.  Lemontree111 helped me color the bear.What do you think?

I also posted some cute items on my etsy shop:KawaiiCarnival

This is one that I made awhile back is called, Pastel Pony.

Please let me know what you guys think about my design. Is this something you would wear or is it too extreme? Should I ton it down or keep going with the same direction?

Thank you for reading!

Anime Expo 2011 update and Kawaii Carnival shop news

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

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. ^^

Thanks for reading! 

*Look at the cute kitty. I want one so bad.*

Lolita Inspirations/Origins

   

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.

Updates on the NEW Angelic Pretty Prints!

Hey everyone!

Last night the new Angelic Pretty Summer 2011 catalog was released!! The new Toy Parade print is called "Toy Fantasy." This dress is a must for me!!! I never got Toy Parade, so this is a good substitute. Plus, AP also released a salopette version with a bunny hoodie!! How cute is that? I want that too! To be honest I love everything from this series!

Salopette love. <3 Can you resist the bunny hoodie? 

Wow, look at the umbrella and accessories!*Q* I am drooling all over the place.

This print is called "Dream Sky," it clearly looks like the casual version of "Milky Planet." This is great for casual wear on a hot summer day. *W*

Everything about this series is just dreamy!

Thanks for reading! <3

NEW Angelic Pretty Print~

Angelic Pretty Shooting Star print

OMGosh!! This print is sooo cute by AP!!! Look at the shooting stars, rainbows, and moons. This really reminds me of milky planet, but the good thing is that it can be worn more causally and it's can be versatile too.  I  really want to get it in sax or black. What do you guys think? Do you like it or not?

*Edit:* Mochichan is right! This dress has a fairy kei feel to it which makes me love it more. Now, I can wear pastels without going over the top. lolz.

This is the one piece version.

This the jsk version.

*Edit:* Angelic Pretty has already release on their website that they are going to release different version of

"Toy Parade."  *Q*
