Oh, Dream Vision, it is growing ever so much harder to find sweet hime items in your store now! ・°・(ノД｀)・°・  BUT!  I did pull together enough for a themed post today~  And that theme is HEARTY-HEARTS!! ヽ(❤ω❤)ノ

Fluffy Heart Applique High-Waisted Skirt

The hearts!!  On this skirt!!  ARE FLUFFY!!!
And I really, really love the length of this skirt, too~

–

Ruffle Heart Platform Sandals

Neutral pastels are cute, sure,
but these are like… really, REALLY neutral…
But even so, the heart design surrounded by ruffles
is incredibly cute!

–

Dream Vision Sweet Maid Style Dress

This counts!!!  The buttons are shaped like tiny hearts!!
And this was, like, the sweetest himekaji-like item in the store,
so it had to go in this listing.

–

Heart Cluster Sandal Wedges

I often feel like I do not have enough hearts over my toes.
I’m not sure.  I think we can fit more hearts on these shoes.
It will be a tight fit but we can do it.

–

Pastel Mermaid Shoes

ok.  i broke the rule.  i broke away from the heart theme.
But these. are. MERMAID. SHOES.
There is even a beautiful soft pastel gradient over the heel and platform!!
FREAKING MERMAID SHOES I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS REAL
OH DREAM VISION YOU HAVE REDEEMED YOURSELF THIS DAY
I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON WE ALL LOVED YOU

Today’s selection of cute & sweet homeware items comes from TOPI Home!  Decorating your space sweetly is an integral part of your lifestyle and mood! ^o^

Pink Sakura Hanging Wind Chime Bell

Every time I see these chimes in anime, I think they are so simple and elegant!
This bell is decorated with pink cherry blossoms, and the tag hanging underneath
is a wish for “Spring.” 😀

Cute Bunny Incense Holder

Incense holders are not complicated tools – you only need that little hole
at the top to place your incense stick in, so the base can really
be shaped or painted like anything~
These tiny bunnies are so simply sweet, they are a subtle way
to add cuteness to your incense enjoying. c:

–

Japanese Home Incense Fragrances

And any incense accessory purchase is not complete without the incense itself!
There are a ton of pleasant aromas here~
Hyacinth, lavender, lilac, green tea, jasmine, rose, lily~
Of course, I would go for the one that’s packaged in pink.

Kawaii Round Bunny Keychain/Phone Strap

The ball chains on these kinds of toys mean they can be affixed to anything!
I usually loop accessories like this around the strap on my purse. c:
But anyway LOOK AT HOW CUTE AND ROUND THESE BUNNIES ARE!!

–

Pretty Pink Sakura Petal Chopstick Holder

These simple holders act as rests for you to place chopsticks on at the table.
But look at how pretty they are when you display a group of them together like this!

When you’re browsing for cute clothes in the style of Lolita, gyaru, mori girl, fairy-kei, and others, you may find in your searches through Ebay, Storenvy, Aliexpress and others that you begin to recognize certain pieces listed!  Maybe you’ll recognize the model wearing the fashions, or something about the photography will look familiar to similar listings you’ve found.  You have the vague idea that they’re probably TaoBao brands, but what are their names, and where do these listings originate from?

The thing about these marketplaces is that they very rarely actually list these items by name!  Knowing the originator of these pieces can help you shop around for them and get them at a fair price.  Plus, it’s just good to know where the things you’re buying come from.

Here is my quick guide to my favorite brands that I’ve encountered across these marketplaces!  It’s certainly not a comprehensive list, but maybe it can help you find some direction with your own browsing. :3

Candy Rain

This is my favorite of all of the TaoBao brands available –
everything is lacy and ruffly, with light floral patterns and soft pastels!
Candy Rain models are usually posed around rich-looking rooms
set with flowers, tea or cakes, or outdoors in a garden setting.

Sellers:
Candy Rain’s YesStyle Brand Page
LoliLoli Shop for Lolita Princess – an Aliexpress seller
BOBON21 – another Aliexpress seller that stocks Candy Rain
Candy Rain’s TaoBao Page

GOGO Girl

I hope I have the name of this brand correctly;
I only have their YesStyle page to go from.
It doesn’t refer to this brand by name on its TaoBao shop as far as I see. nn;

GOGO Girl is a very widespread brand on marketplaces
that features this model who is doll-like in cuteness!
She is posed against a wall in a cutesy interior room.
Again is the recurring theme of pastel colors and soft fabrics,
like sheer chiffon overlays.

Sellers:
GOGO Girl’s YesStyle Brand Page
PRO-G DEAL – Aliexpress seller that features GOGO Girl heavily
MONGPING finery – another Aliexpress seller
GOGO Girl’s TaoBao Page
Another TaoBao Page for this seller because who knows??

BoBon21

That’s BO-bon, not BON-bon, like a certain bunny-related URL you might know of.
This brand surfaced as a cheaper alternative to Liz Lisa.
Many of their pieces are similar to Liz Lisa stylistically.
They are not listed on YesStyle.
Their usual model has the light strawberry-blonde hair pictured above.
She is usually posed against a blank wall, but as with all of these guidelines,
there are variations sometimes.

Sellers:
LoliLoli Shop for Lolita Princess – again!  Such a reliable seller for cute clothes.
BOBON21 – A seller that shares the name, but may not be officially connected.
BoBon21’s TaoBao Page

Pink Doll

Pink Doll is also Dabuwawa, and it features mature and elegant clothing!
Their models look older and more mature than the previous featured
kawaii brands, to match the look of their clothing line.
There are also often non-Asian models featured sometimes,
such as the blonde woman in the center above.
They are usually posed in interior spaces against curtains or similar.

Sellers:
Dabuwawa’s YesStyle Brand Page
One, Two, and Three different Aliexpress sellers for Pink Doll
