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!

Swankiss Sailor Mouton Coat

This looks super warm and cute!!
I love coats that are nice and long.
And the fur trim on this looks really fluffy!!

Swankiss Xmas Dress

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!

Swankiss Rose Rococo Dresses

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!

–

Swankiss Twinkle Star Shorts

Well, anything with “twinkle star” in its name is automatically sweet and dreamy.
I love the pretty ribbon details on either side of these shorts!

–

Swankiss Fluffy Tulle Skirt

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!

Well, a lot of my clothing features are for elegant princess styles, but I have great admiration for cutesy juvenile styles as well!  These dresses and jumpers are for wearing when you feel ADORABLE!!

Neko-Eared Sailor Collar Pink (or Blue) Dress

A sweet, simple solid pink with white collar and trim!
Definitely easy to wear and make cute coordinates out of!

–

Sweet Ruffly Gingham Dress + Bloomers (Blue or Pink)

What wonderfully sweet ruffles!
I’d feel like going on dreamy adventures like Dorothy wearing this~

–

Simple Sweet Strawberry Gingham Sundress

The tiny strawberry detail in the corner is this dress’ charm point!
I like the simple, easy-to-wear straps.

–

Kawaii Nautical Sailor Collar Pink Striped Dress

I thought this was similar to the neko-eared one,
but they are actually quite different, aren’t they? ^^
The pink stripe details on the bow and other borders are so cute!!

–

Kawaii Cherry Print Red or Black Gingham Romper

This is sooo cute and playful!
Something about jumpers like this just look so cool
when a cool girl with a put-together outfit is wearing them.
