Kawaii Pretty Socks, Stockings, and OTK Socks

Friday, July 17th, 2015

As I fill my wardrobe up with more and more skirts and shorts, I need to make sure that my legs and feet look cute too!

There is an unlimited quantity of adorable socks and stockings nowadays!!  I love the cover that OTK (over-the-knee) socks and stockings give, so I picked out a bunch of those here!

Ruffled Lace OTK Socks

When it comes to girly frills, socks with lace and ribbons at the top
cannot be beaten!  This is a universally cute look!
You can also just wear these under a longer skirt or dress
even if the ruffle isn’t visible.
You will still feel cute anyway!

Thigh-High Illusion Stockings – White

One of my favorite trends with stockings right now
is the nude or sheer color at the top of the stockings,
creating the illusion of OTK or thigh-high socks!
It feels like more coverage than wearing them alone would entail,
and they look very smooth and will never fall or roll down.

Sweet Soft Floral Sheer Socks

Okay, these are shorter socks than everything else featured here,
but I wanted to show how sheer fabric is used in regular socks
to add cuteness and interest, too!

Knit OTK Stocking Socks

These are modest and adorable,
and the cable knit texture creates a schoolgirlish look!
Very cute and comfortable, and extremely workable
with many, many outfits.

Cute Hello Kitty Stockings WITH PAW PRINTS!!

Okay, I cannot emphasize enough
how cute the paw prints on the bottom of these stockings are!
These are more illusion stockings – the top part of them is sheer!

Cute & Convenient Homey Items

Thursday, June 25th, 2015

I’m a firm believer in the concept of a “kawaii lifestyle” – that even mediocre tasks you do and that mundane homeware items around your living space can be made cute, even if for no other reason than to make you smile as you go through the day.  It’s not even as if it’s expensive to infuse cuteness into your everyday life – here are five saccharine items to affordably indulge in to sweeten your life.

Cute Hot Beverage Mug Cover (19 Styles)

Some of these designs are soooo dainty and pretty~
And the concept is so simple: Cover your hot beverage,
and the silicone cover keeps the heat in!
(and looks pretty, too)

Pretty Woodland Animal Lace Doily Coaster (4 Colors)

And since you’ve got your hot beverage out,
naturally you need a cute little coaster to place it down on!
Okay, I am in love with that lacy pink bunny.

Kawaii Emoji Mug (4 Styles)

Speaking of mugs, if you’re shopping for a new one,
there probably isn’t anything cuter than these little guys.
I’m really close to picking up that mischievous kitty-faced one for myself…

Cute Mushroom Toothbrush Holder (2 Colors)

I don’t like the idea of my toothbrushes touching surfaces,
and these cute polka-dotted mushy-mushes bring Super Mario to mind~
In fact, they come in red, too!

Sweet Bunny or Bear Cushion (2 Styles)

I am pretty much always in need of a lumbar cushion,
and a polka-dotted bunny wearing this serene expression
would make my back ever so happy!
There’s a stripey Mr. Bear to choose from, too.

Easy cute DIY- Kawaii Heart-shaped Lolita Apron for Beginners – nekomaid costume(cross straps)

Yumi King is a Youtuber who frequently posts DIY videos for making your wardrobe cute!  Turn annotations on if they are not showing up by default~

If I had to add anything, my advice would be to fold your edges under TWICE if you try this out yourself, rather than just once as shown sometimes in the videos, and backstitch at the beginning and end of sewing every line as well. n_n
