Yay! \(^o^)/  Here is a selection of soft and pretty styles, typical of my fave TaoBao brand Candy Rain~  Lots of top + skirt sets in this feature!

Sky Blue Plaid Off-the-Shoulder Rosy Ruffle Top

Ahhh!!  The ruffle across the shoulders is SHAPED LIKE ROSES!!
Gosh, this light Cinderella-blue is so gorgeous.
I’m seriously in love with this so much.

Creamy White Lace Shorts with Crystal Bead Accents

The model is wearing the same outfit,
but this listing is for the shorts this time!

–

Sweet Spring Green Dress + Lace Bolero

Click through to the product listing
to choose from both the adorable green dress
or that light sheer bolero!!

–

Sweet Pink Skirt with Pearl Beading Accents

The pearls sewn into this skirt are so subtle,
I didn’t notice them the first time!
And though this is unrelated to the product listing,
I really fell in love with the hairstyle the model is wearing, haha///

–

Short Puff Sleeve Keyhole Shoulder Hoodie Jacket

This listing is for the jacket!
Sometimes I like to cover up with a jacket layer even when it’s warm out,
and this clever type of sleeve make it perfect for those situations~

Geek apparel shop Teefury has just started selling all-over printed leggings and skirts!!!  I love the swishy skirts so I am mostly featuring them here, but these prints are also available as leggings, so you can click through any of these to check those out if you’d prefer!

Legend of Zelda Adventure Items Skirt

A cool swishy skirt featuring items and icons from Legend of Zelda!
I REALLY like this design a lot.
From afar, it just looks like a pretty patterned skirt in neat aqua colors.
It’s a subtle way to wear your geekery.

–

Sailor Moon Wands Leggings

Equip yourself with your favorite henshin sticks
and Sailor Moon weaponry!
I love the bright purple background color
and all of the starry sparkles!

–

“In the Tall Grass” Grass Pokemon Skirt

I love grass Pokemon!
Such pretty flowers, and there are such cute leafy designs on this!
And the pattern on this is really pretty, it could pass
as just a floral print at a glance from non-geeky observers.

–

“Too Haute to Handle” Fire Pokemon Skirt

Fire!!!!  Pokemon!!!!
I have a personal rule to pretty much always
go with the Fire starter in every Pokemon game.
And so, I am so ecstatic to see that Cyndaquil and Torchic are on here!
Those were some of my favorites!

–

“Wave Riders” Water Pokemon Skirt

Okay, I kind of cheated compiling this list
and made the last three features all the Pokemon type designs, LOL.
But look at the pretty Dragonair on this!
When I look at this skirt, I hear one of the Surfing themes playing.

Once again, during my regular browsing I was completely distracted by cute nail polish lol!!

What I love about each of these is that clicking through to the product page, all of them have the marbling or glitter instructions posted!  I’ve never tried marbling my nail polish, but I like the look so much that now I want to try it!

Marble Nail Art Polish Set – Red Diamond

Look!  At!!  How!!!  Pretty!!!
Wow, gosh, I’m completely in love with this.
And I love that they have so many variations shown as examples!
The red, pink, and white all together looks like a rose garden~

–

Juicy Frappe Nail Art Polish Set – Cherry

Omg, look at that pretty gradation!
And gold glitter only on the very tip is so subtle and pretty.
I definitely want to try this with my own polish!

–

Dreamy Pastel Glitter Nail Art Polish Set

Dreamy pastel glitter!!
Pastel colors all together like this always make me think of
Little Twin Stars or other soft Sanrio art.

–

Kawaii Pastel Dot Nail Art Polish Set

These colors look like soft, delicious sherbet!!
As shown in the examples, there are other cute designs you can create
besides polka dots.  That yellow one with geometric shapes
is giving me huge 90’s pop vibes.

–

Tropical Paradise Nail Marbling Set – Deep Rose Pink

This particular set comes in a ton of color combinations!!
Again, this tye-die marbling technique is completely new to me
and I think I am in love with it.  I want to try it with pastels!

Lashes are pretty much a required staple for gyaru makeup and beauty!  There are a few ‘styles’ of gyaru lashes that stand out as common themes that you will see a lot as you are browsing for lashes.  These selections come from the YesStyle brand LUCKY TRENDY.

Gyaru Princess Outer Edge Dramatic Flick Lashes

These just became my dream lashes!!!
The multiple flicks of dramatic lashes at the outer edge
remind me of drawing cartoon characters and anime eyes~
And I love the minty princess packaging, too!

–

Gyaru Princess Voluminous Outer Edge Lashes

These lashes concentrate their volume on the outer edge,
and are thickly dispersed throughout as well~
Rather than looking cartoonish, these are like a ‘natural’ lash.

–

Gyaru Princess Alternating Volume Lashes

The alternating thickness of these lashes
make a stripe-like design across your eyelashes.
It is a very romantic style to wear!

–

Gyaru Princess Alternating Stripe Lashes

A style similar to the previous, with the alternation made more dramatic.
I always thought that this style of lash looks crystal-like,
as if reflective lines are being attentively drawn around your eyes.
Maybe that’s weird, I don’t know, haha. 😀

–

Brown and Black Criss-Cross Crystal Lashes

This cris-crossing style of lashes is common for gyaru as well,
but this is the first time I have seen brown and black overlapped like this!
It is a very subtle dramatic effect that adds voluminous depth!

Bows, bows, BOWS!!  You don’t need any kind of elaborate hairstyle for these.  Just clip them in – maybe at the back of your head, maybe on one side or the other, or near your face.  And bam, instant frilliness.

Wide Soft Color Hair Bow Barrette

This comes in incredibly soft neutral pastel colors!!
I love hoe long the bow tails hang~

–

Wide Lace Chiffon Hair Bow Barrette

Omggg look at this pretty dainty embroidered lace!!
This bow is so voluminous and so elegant!! *o*

–

Leaf Cascade Hair Bow Barrette

Eeee the trailing leaves from this bow are so pretty!

–

Floral Chiffon Hair Bow Barrette

The colors this comes in are so soft and wispy!
I can see the light chiffon fabric of this bow
being picked up by the wind and fluttering lightly~

–

Narrow Ribbon Hair Bow Barrette

I love the multiple tails hanging down from this bow!
And there is a small detail that is very tiny and delicate –
a small rhinestone dangle in the center of the bow!
