The Year of the Magical Girl

Hello Hello, Lil Buns!

Hope you're all doing well! Today, I'd like to talk to you about Magical Girls - particularly the merch. I grew up watching the original Sailor Moon, Pretear, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Cardcaptor Sakura and one of my personal favorites - Magic Knight Rayearth.

Non-Gyaru Brands for Summer!

Hello Hello, Lil Buns!

Hope you enjoyed my vacation posts! Now, here's something I think we should look into...

Summer is just about here. But for whatever reason, you need new clothes and/or accessories! But buying from overseas can take forever!

What is a Gal to do?

Today, we're going to look at a few shops and ideas for coords that you can use in your Gyaru fashion!

Betsey Johnson Bag Favorites

Hello Hello, Lil Buns!

I'm back in NY! Don't worry, the other half of my vacation post is coming soon (with some exciting news)! So until then, I just thought I would share some of my wishlists with you!

My Favorite: Bags

Hello Hello, Lil Buns!

Winter is definitely here! It snowed last night but only a couple of inches. I'm so glad it wasn't that much!

Today I wanted to start a series, maybe a weekly one or monthly, not sure yet. It's called
"My Favorite". I'll pick one type of item that I own and show you a bit of my collections and which one(s) are my fave!

Today's subject is...
☆Bags☆

Like every person that's into fashion, you need a coordinating bag, right? In the Gyaru and Lolita fashions especially, there are tons of kawaii bags. It's really hard to not want everything. XD

Here are the bags that I use the most!

☆Puddle Bunny Bag from Sugar Bunny Shop☆
This is a great bag for my more casual days or when I just need to carry a lot more items. Plus it's a design with uber fat bunnies! What's not to love?
Shop here

☆3-Way Bag from DreamV☆
DreamV/Yumetenbo has always been one of my go-to shops for Himekaji style items. Especially for shoes and bags! This bag can be used as a rucksack, an over the shoulder bag and a handbag.
Shop here

☆My Melody Canvas bag from Sanrio☆
Now that the Sanrio global site is carrying more things that would only be found on their Japanese site, I can find a ton of merch from my favorite characters like My Melo! I love to use this bag with my lighter coords in the spring~
Shop here

☆Lovely Rabbit bag from Spreepicky☆
I think this bag is an adorable accessory but not very good with space. I can only really carry a small coin purse, my phone and maybe 2-3 makeup items. It works really well with Lolita and even Fairy Kei. Maybe if I can do more Pastel Gyaru, I can incorporate it as well~
Shop here

☆Quilted Rucksack☆
I love this bag! It's pretty roomy and it's still nice enough for a casual or a slightly more dressed up coord! This was a gift from a dear friend.

☆Sailor MoonxSamantha Vega Replica from Syndrome Store☆
It looks like an exact copy of the original - even down to the lining. I am a little sad that my locker at work messed up the handles but it's a great little bag. It's subtle enough to go anywhere with!
Shop here

☆Fluffy My Melody Purse from eBay☆
I fell in love with this purse when I first saw Sui Princess with it in one of her old hime photos. It's so soft and fluffy, it works with any fuwa fuwa style! I'm sure you can still find it on eBay but here are some just as cute alternatives!
Shop here

☆XOXO Handbag☆
I got this bag a long time ago but it's still in great condition! I use it a lot with my dressier coords.

☆Check Rose Tote Bag☆
My first Liz Lisa bag! It has so much room and pockets. The print is beautiful! It's my most prized favorite in my collection~

Hope you enjoyed! What are your favorite bags that you own? I'd love to hear!

That's all for now! See you next time!

My KFashion Haul!

Hiyo lil bunnies! 

Today I wanted to share my haul with you from a couple of weeks ago! My friends and I made a date for a whole day in a nearby area called Flushing. It's basically like a mini Chinatown and has a ton of cute shops and cafes. One of our stops was a place called Fashion City. (Unfortunately they don't have a website, but if you're in Queens, NY you should totally stop by!)

They were having a huge sale on a lot of their stuff so of course we all decided to go shopping! I really wasn't planning to buy anything but I figured it was a good time to treat myself. I hadn't bought any goodies for a while~

I managed to get cluster earrings, a mint scrunchie, and this super adorable bunny dress (which one of my friends found for me!).

I think in total, I spent about 30$? Which isn't bad considering that the original price of the dress was about that much.

The cluster earrings have a heart, star, moon and gem. They're just simple post earrings but they work great for any outfit.

I absolutely adore this scrunchie! The fabric feels a little bit like a textured mint organza with little stars! And the little decoration with the beads are a really nice touch~

And finally, best for last, is the bunny dress. The tag says the brand name Sugar. I never heard of it before but now I know they exist and make cute things like this! I love that I can wear this for any kawaii fashion, Gyaru included.

Aren't the bunny faces so adorable?

And here are some worn shots! I finally arranged my room so I can actually photograph outfits. I can't wait to review the adorable Little Twin Stars blanket behind me in a future post!

That's all for now! See you next time!
