It's been a while since I did a post like this! Hey bunnies! Kieli here and I have a nice little post for Lolita Blog Carnival! This week's discussion is..............

A Star is Born Again! Sailor Moon's Return! [ 07-08-2012 ]

All Sailor Moon fans have been partying all weekend since the HUGEannouncement this past Friday that was streamed online! Sailor Moon will be back in an all NEWanime which will air WORLDWIDEbeginning Summer 2013! Definitely exciting news!



We all thought it was so strange that everything was kept hush hush, especially since this year marks the 20th Anniversary of Sailor Moon. We had a few websites say "Happy Anniversary" but no real news was being talked about if they were going to do anything big for such an important date. But it wasn't until Friday, July 6th, 2012 where all Moonie fans around the world that could, jumped onto their computer and logged to the sites that were going to be streaming this event. I mean, it had to be huge news if they were going to record something like this!

What's also very awesome that was revealed, is that a lot of old memorabilia is going to be re-released!No exact news on what that means exactly but for those of us that never really had a chance to collect Sailor Moon goodies because they were too young or they didn't live in Japan - we get a second chance! I can't wait to see what will be released!

I'm hoping we will see a special edition (in MUCH better quality) of the entire Sailor Moon anime. I've been collecting the Sailor Moon manga released by Kodansha but only have both volumes of Sailor V and the first two books of Sailor Moon. I need to get crackin'!Hmmm...I wonder if the re-release of the manga was a clue that something big would happen this year....I wonder.

Anyway, in celebration of this huge event, I have changed all of my sites, including this blog, to Sailor Moon theme! What do you guys think? I designed them myself!

I was just so happy when they said Sailor Moon was making a comeback. For most of us, that anime marks the best times of our childhood. A lot of fans have already begun making their own versions of Sailor Moon goods and they're all very beautiful too! I actually own one and will soon have another (can't wait!).

I also made this Sailor Moon inspired hairclip out of clay! Doesn't it look adorable? I may try to make more Sailor Moon goodies so please stay tuned! (And I know I'm a little late with what I promised but definitely after Otakon, you will see some of my work on Etsy! That will definitely happen!)

I noticed that my blog is mostly of reviews on products. That will definitely change too. I'll be talking more about the stuff I'm interested in so the blog isn't just boring and entirely on reviews.

Take care, everyone and I will post if there are any more updates on Sailor Moon!

Until next time~

Let's Have a Fairy Kei Teaparty: Kittywood Designs Review { 6-03-2012 }

Today I have another awesome review for you today! It's for the Etsy shop ♥ Kittywood Designs ♥. I just happened to catch sight of the store when I was going through my Etsy emails and saw these adorable teacups! I instantly fell in love.




Kattie, the owner of Kittywood, has an amazing and a huge variety of different designs. And she has more than just teacups - like necklaces, charms and even cell phone cases. Each one is a different design and oh so cute. I also discovered that she can do custom designs.

I asked her about it and she showed me different designs she has done and let me tell you - the choices and combinations are pretty much near endless.All I had to do was tell her what I wanted for both the teacup itself and what I wanted on said teacup. Of course I went with all things super cute. I said bunnies, horses, bows, stars, hearts, straws and cute little beads for extra shine all on white "icing" in a blue teacup. I didn't even have an idea of how it would come out and thought she might have thought I was crazy. xD But nope, I am not crazy (well, maybe a little). She was able to make the most adorable carousel design ever!

 Front and back views:

It is definitely something a Loli dreams of. The teacup is a cute baby blue color with heart designs, and yes it does sit on a little plate. The decorations are in sweet colors of yellows, pinks and purples. As I said, there are bows, stars, little beads and rhinestone-like shiny beads. Sitting at the top is a larger bow with a cute little pink bunny, an ice cream cone and two carousel horses with the straws as the poles of the horses. All of this is sitting in the white "icing" in the teacup that is securely-fastened to an alligator clip. It does have a little weight to it but it's not enough to give a headache and I can make sure it's still there when I'm wearing a wig.

The second item I bought from her and fell in love with is the Fairy Kei Pastel Transparent Balloon Hair Clip. I saw it when I was looking through her teacup designs and was so happy when she had the balloon hair clip listed separately!

I'm not sure what the balloons themselves are made of but it's a lightweight clip. Each balloon is a different color with four of the five being stars and the one in the middle is a slightly bigger moon. It really does look like someone holding a bunch of different balloons with the base. The stem has a white polka-dotted purple ribbon and is attached to a secure alligator clip.

I am very happy with my purchases from Kittywood Designs. It was a great transaction and she made it super easy and painless so that I could get my custom design 100%. And she did just that! So I would definitely buy from her again in the future! Thank you, Kattie!

You all should definitely check out her shop if you're looking for sweet deco and Fairy Kei stuff. Kattie is super sweet and a great designer. I highly recommend her!

Until Next Time~
