Gyaru & Ageha Shoes at Moery

Friday, May 18th, 2012

These kitten heels from popular gyaru shop Moery are made to turn heads!

These are ATTENTION GRABBING!! Just like CAPITAL LETTERS!!

Clear Rose Heel Sandals

Here’s a great pair of shoes that would complement any girly coordinate – there are tiny roses embedded in the clear heels!

These also show off a feature that’s very common in Moery’s shoes – the strap that holds your foot in is completely clear, fully showing off how cute your feet are with no strappy distractions! ♥

Slightly Sweet Platform Sandals

This design almost matches what you’d see in Lolita fashion, although thin, tall heels like that are a little outside of the norm.

Which makes them great for princesses who like to wear a lot of girly things!! ^o^

Dice Heel Shoes by Ellie

Here’s something a little edgier than the other shoes featured here – the heels are sculpted into little dice!! For all the gambling vixens out there.

Lace & Ribbon Heels

And we’re back in the realm of girly & sweet with these cuties!

Bows. ; 3;

Thick Clear Pastel Platforms

I loooOOOOOVE these!!

The color is just hinted at in those thick platforms.

You’d look like you’re walking on air~

Dream Vision is also sometimes known as Yumetenbo or DreamV, and it’s one of my most FAVORITEST STORES EVER!! It’s just stuffed full of sweet and girly clooooothes!! ;^;

However, I shall save actual clothing items for another day! Today, we feature bags and purses, and a hat snuck in here too. XD

As a bibliophile, I would just love to have a bag that resembles one of my favorite things. ;_;

You’d feel so classical wherever you go!

Another super precious interpretation of a basket as a purse.

Who could resist that perfect oversized bow??

Elegant Dresses from Diva Rosa

Saturday, May 12th, 2012

Here’s a selection of ladylike dresses from Diva Rosa, another Rakuten store that should please followers of gyaru and ageha styles. n_n

Chiffon A-Line Dress with Beading

We’ll start this post out a little casually, but don’t worry, you’ll see just how full-blown this store’s dresses can be in the next one!

The color selection is pretty limited, but this style of dress is really cute, and chiffon is always light and flowy. ^o^

Full Bell Volume Princess Dress

O^O

Princess dress indeed.

The deep wine red one is soooo romantic. ♥

Floral Maxi Dress

Maxi dresses are so popular right now! The rhinestones around the waist on this one give it extra sparkling flair!

I like that the color for the flowers is only splashed around here and there. n_n

Glitter Lamé Flocked Dress

I am in love with how subtle the black color of the overlay is over the pastel color of the dress. o^o See how you can only see that it’s black where the fabric gathers? That’s so cool!!

Ruffled & Ruched Princess Bell Dress

O3O~~ Almost a variation of the other princess dress listed above, but this one has rows of ruffles around the dress and I think the bodice is prettier!

This is what I would wish to wear to Prince Charming’s royal ball. ; 3;~

Discounted Designer (Japanese, too!) Goods at LadysOff

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

All right, now we’re getting into the real meat and potatoes of the kinds of shopping posts I want to make on this blog.

I adore Japanese fashion trends, and my purpose here is to hook you up with where to find them

LadysOff is a store on Rakuten that sells secondhand (but very good condition!), discounted brands, making it the perfect place to start looking for Japanese brand-name street fashion.

Mariko Oikawa Ribbon Enamel Pumps

OH MY GOSH AMAZINNNNNNNNNNG

AHHHHHH LOOK AT THESE AHhhhhhhhhhh

and this

is why I love Japanese brands. u3u

La Pafait Black Hime Dress

La Pafait is one of my most favoritest brands ever. o^o (That’s Pafait, without the R you’d expect to be there. Hey, knowing the proper name of the brand is the only way to search for it online!)

Himegyaru just makes my heart all melty. ;~; How I long for the princessy life.

Tarina Tarantino Hello Kitty Pendant Necklace

Ohhh myyyy GOOOOOSSSHH!!

Are there any kawaii-fanatics out there that didn’t just DIE when Tarina Tarantino and Hello Kitty partnered up? I mean, the result was Hello Kitty with hot pink hair.

Getting jewelry from that line secondhand is the only way to get it now. :O You’ve got to grab it up when you find it!

Barbie Beige Jacquard Culottes

These just don’t photograph well, but if you clickthrough to look at the larger pictures you can see how pretty there are! Barbie has a whole line of elegant fashion that’s exclusive to Japan. ;^;

Jesus Diamante White Fur Bolero

ANOTHER of the prettiest and best himegyaru brands out there, Jesus Diamante is often featured on LadysOff~

I’ll try to share some of their gorgeous floral hime dresses when they’re listed, but they go fast! X3

Wigs for Cosplay and Every Day

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

Zephyr1 is a wig shop on Rakuten that sells hairpieces in bright fantastic colors as well as for every day.

Wigs have made their prevalence known in Lolita fashion – when was the last time you saw a photoshoot that didn’t include perfectly-curled pastel pigtails? And it’s not that natural colors are an oddity either. Cascading hair extensions are almost essential to Himegyaru style. And what’s more, Zephyr1’s selection of wigs are available in enough colors and basic styles that you’re sure to be able to find one that you can style to match a favorite character you choose to cosplay.

Of course, even if you don’t follow any of these street styles, wigs are great for just giving you a new everyday look to try out without fear of dying or cutting your hair. They’re really not such an oddity nowadays!

So let’s check out a few of them!

Long Wavy Wine Red Wig

Here’s a good start for this post – this wine red color is romantic and just-natural-enough that you could get away with wearing it with any everyday outfit. 😀

The length and waviness of it is great, too! c:

Straight Shaggy Rose Pink Wig

This is suuuuch a great rosy color~ ; 3; Usually I’m all about pastel princess pink, but this shade is more neutral and would work with more outfits, I think!

I wanna put a BIG OL’ BOW in it!!

Short Tussled Lavender Wig

This style is just REALLY fun!!

Lavender is always such a sweet color, but this style makes it wild!

Long Wavy Gold Wig

One more natural color to even this post out! And that’s quite a gorgeous gold.

The soft curls would fall so prettily over your shoulders~ o^o I really just love this wig a whole lot.

Long Straight Glass Green Wig

Ohmygosh that shade of green is SOOOOOO GOOD wow!!

Soft pastels just work so great in the fashion styles that I love the best… but green is a color that often gets left out amidst all of the pink and baby blue and lavender.

I really am seriously pining away for this color, and dreaming up ways to incorporate it into outfits. It would add a very different kind of “naturalness,” haha!
