Oh, gosh, it’s so cold outside!! A pretty coat can keep you feeling cute even though you have to cover up your cute outfit. (This is the saddest part of Winter to me – no one can see the outfit I’ve put together!)
So versatile!!
The poncho cape is sooo pretty.
I love the shape that capes make. And this one with fur trim and a row of bows
make it perfectly princess-like.
Wow!! This cardigan is pretty enough to be a blouse!!
It has such dainty little details!
I think I am in love with the lace collar.
But also the vertical beaded ribbon down each side.
PRET!! TY!!!!
Floral-printed-anything is automatically so pretty and romantic.
This is so soft and light and pink!!
And thick fleecey ponchos are sooo awesome at keeping you warm!!
This is a San-X character (the makers of Rilakkuma!).
This plush sculpture is so elaborate!!
It really impressed me, so I had to feature it for that reason alone.
The New Super Mario Bros. games are ones where you might see
this match-up happening~ That game is fun to play with friends!
I like how this plush is actually kind of pastel? And cute??
Okay, you need to look at the pics of these strawberry plushes being held by someone…
They are huge!! They’re like big throw pillows!
I would be happy replacing all of my throw pillows with cute round strawberries.
BIRBS!! Look at the cute birbs!!!
Ohmygosh. I’m dying over the blue budgie.
These are so gosh dang cute.
Carrying one around with you strapped to your bag would be
too distracting, I would want to be cuddling with it all hours of every day.
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!
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!
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!
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!
