Ahh!  I only knew of the shopping site Tokyo Otaku Mode for buying anime merch, but they actually have brand name Japanese fashions, too!!  Swankiss is one of the most desirable brands for cute styles like Larme-kei and modern soft/dolly-looking gyaru.  Here are some of the newest items listed!

Swankiss Sailor Mouton Coat

This looks super warm and cute!!
I love coats that are nice and long.
And the fur trim on this looks really fluffy!!

–

Swankiss Xmas Dress

This looks like the kind of dresses that Candy Rain does all the time!!
Although, I guess it’s actually Candy Rain that copies Swankiss’ style.
I’d love to wear something romantic and dreamy like this for Christmas!

Swankiss Rose Rococo Dresses

This adorable dress has the prettiest little rosebuds embroidered on it!
The detail pics of the embroidery are so pretty –
it’s worth clicking through to check out the detail pics just to see them!

–

Swankiss Twinkle Star Shorts

Well, anything with “twinkle star” in its name is automatically sweet and dreamy.
I love the pretty ribbon details on either side of these shorts!

–

Swankiss Fluffy Tulle Skirt

There’s pretty corset-style ribbon woven through the waistband
of this pretty, dreamy skirt!!
This iridescent type of fabric was called “lamé” at the fabric store where I worked,
and I always associate “Larme” with it because they look so similar!
So in my mind, a skirt from lamé material is the very essence of larme-kei!

Today’s theme kind of accidentally turned out to feature only pink and lavender things, lol!!  I was just looking for cute stuff in general, but we can pretend like I did it on purpose!  It has been a little while since I’ve done pastel Fairy-kei stuff anyway~

Kawaii Bunny Seifuku Lavender Top + Pumpkin Pants

This listing is for all of the pieces in this set!
This usagi-seifuku is sooo cute… like something a real anime character would wear..
Heck, I want the bunny hair accessories that the model is wearing, too!

–

Pink Ruffle Lady Princess Maid Costume

Well, this is definitely more like a costume…
But it is so dang cute and ruffly I really just wanted to include it!!
It’s a very cute shape with a lot of full ruffles
for being a costume. nn

Pink Sweet Lolita Underbust Suspender Skirt Dress JSK

The shape of this was hard for me to classify as either a skirt or JSK –
oh, heck, we’ll say it’s both!!
A very adorable Lolita item the likes of which can be difficult to find
amidst all of the clothing items that call themselves Lolita without
actually fitting the description~

–

Cute Sweet Pastel Gradient Slouchy Sweater

A pastel sweater that somehow didn’t make it into any of my other sweater roundups!!
A very simple shape, no real details here –
just the appeal of three sweet pastel colors and all of that snuggly coziness.

–

Bunny-Eared Kawaii Pastel Seifuku Top

Ahhh this looks so comfy and cutsew-y!!
The bows are small and sweet and…
Okay, we all know by this point that bunny ears on anything
is my ultimate weakness.
