★10 things about your lolita bubble.★

1. I first saw Lolita fashion druing a trip to japan when I was younger. I didn't really get into it until 2003~2004.

2. I don't really stick to one style but if I had to choose just one, it would be Gothic Lolita.


3. My favorite brands are Alice and the Pirates, Black Peace Now, h.NAOTO, Metamorphose temps de fille, Moi meme Moitie and Putumayo.


4. My first brand piece was a black x white Karami JSK by BTSSB, I still have it.


5. I often ask my parents if I look pretty in Lolita before going out. It is a bit odd for them but I feel like the more they see me in it the more they'll grow to accept it.


6. I enjoy dressing up my friends in my frills. . . even if they don't.

7. Scent is just as important to me as the outfit. I often coordinate scents with my Lolita outfits.


8. I love how close knit the Hawaii Lolita Community is, but I guess this is bound to happen when you live on an island.


9. I love to design Lolita outfits but lack the skills to make them


10. I'm slowly collecting things to update the look of my room into something for befitting of a Lolita.


Until next time,

Japonica Market Review

Japanese fashion is simply amazing but can sometimes be hard to obtain. To remedy this problem, many people offer shopping services to aid those wishing to purchase such clothing. My personal favorite out of the many shopping services would be Japonica Market. I've been using them for quite some time and I haven't been disappointed since. I have recently been doing some shopping and finally sent in to have my items shipped.

 I chose to have my items shipped via EMS shipping and everything arrived in three days.

My items where carefully wrapped in bubble film so everything was protected from damage.

All items remained in their original packaging.

What did I buy you ask? Here are some pics of my purchases after removing them from their packaging.


This would have to be my favorite item out of all my purchases. The hooded vest is by h.NAOTO's sub-brand Sixh and was only 1000 en. The reason for the low price was probably because it was missing a button. I had planned to remove all the current buttons and replace them but upon further inspection, I found a spare button sewn next to the care tag.

I had originally thought that this was a shirt when purchasing but after reading through the discription I found out that it is actually a one piece. I was in love with the image and bought it without reading anything. The one piece works very well as a long tunic.


I have been intrigued my the popularity of sarouel pants in Japanese fashion so I decided to purchase some. These pants are some of the most comfortable pants I've ever worn.

I had bought two pairs of sarouel pants and these feel like a dream. The material is very soft and flows nicely.

Japonica Market Review:
Service: ★★★★★
Pricing: ★★★★★
Shipping:★★★★★

There is a reason why I only use Japonica Market when purchasing things from Japan, They have never disappointed me. They reply quickly and will work their hardest to get whatever items it is that you want. Their pricing is fair and upon receiving your items will hold them for a maximum of thirty days.

I hope this review will be helpful for those looking to use this company, I highly recommend them.

until next time,

ティー☆パーティ

One of my friends came home from Las Vegas for a couple of weeks so we had decided to have a tea party like we did back in high school. It was a rather nostalgic affair, bringing back a lot of fond memories of the past. We've welcomed new people into our small,close knit circle and talked of many things. It is sad that he will have to return to his new home in the coming days but the memories we've created shall remain dear to me.

eyecandylens.com & Princess Mimi/Bambi Circle Lense Review

I had recently ordered some circle lenses from Eyecandylens.com and I thought I would share my experience with my readers~

My first pair of lenses hand recently expired so I thought that a new pair was in order. I stumbled upon Eyecandylens.com after finding their listing for lace lenses that I wanted for wearing with Lolita fashion. The lace lenses were nice up seemed a bit too out there for everyday wear. After searching their site, I decided to get the ever popular Princess Mimi/Bambi lenses in Chocolate Brown as well as Apple Green.

One of the main reasons I decided to order from Eyecandylens.com was that they offer free shipping worldwide. I placed my order on the 11th of April and the lenses where shipped out on the 15th. I usually get extremely impatient when waiting for anything coming in the mail but these where driving me crazy. Luckily, they arrived a lot quicker than I had thought the would and I received on the 20th.



The lenses where shipped in a roomy bubble mailer and where packed rather well. I shook the package and couldn't feel or hear any movement.






The lenses where packed in super cute pink bags covered in golden stars. Eyecandylens.com had also included a card to keep track of when your lenses expire as well as a general guide on using and caring for circle lenses.




The lenses where also packaged in bubble wrap and came with free lens cases.

☆Eyecandylens.com Review☆
Customer Service:★★★★★
Pricing:★★★★★
Shipping:★★★★★
Would you purchase from them again?:YES

I was rather happy with my overall experience. Eyecandylens.com had answered all of my questions quickly and updated my order as soon as they could. The cute packaging was a total plus for me as things of a cuter nature will get you extra brownie points. I totally recommend them to anyone that's looking to get a pair of circle lenses with out the hassle.

Before finding circle lenses, I would be constantly let down with colored contacts because of my dark eyes. The Princess Mimi/Bambi lenses are amazing. I love,Love,LOVE these lenses. At the current moment, I only have opened the Apple Green lenses. They look super cute and I have a feeling that I'll be opening the Chocolate Brown ones in the very near future.


☆Princess Mimi/Bambi Lens Review☆
Color: ★★★★★
Enlargement: ★★★★★
Comfort:★★★★☆

The color of these lenses is amazing yet no where near natural. I was rather scared of ordering anything but brown lenses just because I thought they would look odd with my skin tone but these look great. The lenses are comfy but tend to feel dry pretty fast. I don't know if its just my eyes but it becomes a bit bothersome. Enlargement is great as well, making the wearer look extremely cute and doe eyed.


I hope my review has been helpful to anyone thinking about using Eyecandylens.com or purchasing these particular lenses.
