Lolita Rain Boots ^_^

My friend of The Lost Lola is always scouring ModCloth and just happened to come across this finding and posted to our SD Lolita community these fantastic Lolita rain boots! *-*

http://www.modcloth.com/shop/shoes-boots/notion-of-a-natural-fit-rain-boot 

As I have posted mine in the past; Juicy Couture's Loliable rain boots, these are much more on the affordable side ^w^


At $39.99, that's just about a $100 savings from mine! 0.0


And featured in black, these will surely suit many outfits ^_~


Topped with a cream bow, these boots are simply darling at an affordable price to assure no meet is never called off due to rain  ;)




*Update: woo!  Check out these other bow boots post on Style Redux *-*

Innocent World: Lauretta Rose JSK - Dusty Pink

Ahh it came! *-*

I wanted this dress and really wanted to make it mine :3  It was the first one I ever posted a want to buy ad for o.o  And though I felt I might not have had my chance at it for a bit, it actually wasn't too bad of a wait :3  Maybe it took a month to get a response?  I was super fortunate that a kind girl answered my post with a link to an auction for it on Yahoo! Japan Auctions x3  So grateful to her <3

I actually go it at a good price and it included the head bow right along with it ^^

This new piece to my collection actually makes me feel my aging into Classic Lolita xP  It's utterly romantic; subtle and feminine enough to pass through the muggle's common fashion, but still lovely enough to be it's own entirely ^^

Emily Temple Cute - Mermaid Print Skirt

Horray! It came in today! :D

I totally forgot about it for a moment xP  Since shipping was going to take a bit of time coming from New Zealand :3

Packaged nice and neatly ^.^

I remember first coming across this piece on a girl wearing it in a post on the daily_lolita :)  And mind you, she did a stunning job! *0*  I wish I still had the picture or link to it :(

Ever since I was a kid I've always loved mermaids--I wanted to be one!  The Little Mermaid was my FAVORITE MOVIE!  I watched it almost everyday and sang the songs everywhere I went--even in the bathroom * embarrassing note on me >.>

AMAZING art by Brittney Lee!  Check out her blog!  

Funny how this print wasn't exactly a dream print of mine.  I did admire the art very much :3  But at the time, I wasn't really too fond of the colors :/  But after quite some time, and some ideas on how I could coord it, it came at an opportunity when the price was reduced and good for me ^o^

And just in time!  I plan to wear it to a Fancy Nancy tea party on her new book regarding mermaids!  How fabulously fitting! >w<  And if you haven't yet heard about Fancy Nancy, it is a popular children's book series which I was introduced to by my mother, when she presented a calender of hers for my birthday xD  She said she reminded her of me when I was a child and I pretty much got hooked from there xD

My first ever Emily Temple Cute piece! :D  >Besides the tights xP  Would've been nice if my first piece was the one on my current checklist but I know it'll come in time ^_^

One thing I am surprised about is how incredibly simplistic the skirt really is :o  Almost like you could have gotten it handmade through a commission :o  Just a simple stretch band at the back, flat in front, cotton print, and lace trim o.o

Its Almost Here!

Ohmyglob--so excited!


Just got the invoice for the EMS shipping of my Innocent World Lauretta Rose dress *0*  I'm so effing excited! >w<


At first I thought I was going to have to wait 3-5 days for my payment to go through @_@ since I typically don't have a PayPal balance :O  But I lucked out with a purchase I was refunded for because I haven't received it :(  I hope by chance I still happen to get it ._.


If she doesn't take too long to ship it out, maybe it'll be here in time for our Victorian picnic we'll be having this Saturday :o  Then I'd really have a dilemma in choosing what to wear xP *Lolitaproblems xP

Emily Temple Cute - Chocolate Printed Tights

It came in today! :D


Yayyyy \(`-`)/

Looking at them made me want to eat some chocolate xP

They were packaged so nicely ^.^  I loved how it was so clean and simple--no fluff xP

And they really were tights! :O  I didn't realize they came in two different forms, because they looked like separate socks from the picture o.o

And bows in back! *-*  Simply charming >w<

When I first came across these in Herajika's pictures, I didn't know they came with a back seam of bows, but after I saw them, it just made them that much more adorable! *w*

And apparently they are hard to find o.o  I guess I was pretty lucky to come across them when they were posted :3

Now all I need is this:

Send a message over my way if you have it or a link on where to get it! *-*

This is also a dress that is on my current wishlist/check list xD

Now what to wear the tights with right now?

I was thinking maybe my Innocent World British Bears JSK?

Updates to Look Forward to! :D

Be sure to keep a look out for these up coming updates! :)

Juliette et Justine - Mere Vierge

It came in today~

Packaged neatly in a blue plastic bag.

My very first Juliette et Justine piece :3

A friend told me about their packaging and service, and that it matched the quality of their label.  So I was excited to find out for myself :D

I wish I had gotten one of their bags though :P

I never knew tissue paper could be so soft *.*

+ I'm so excited to receive one of their catalogs!  Of all the rest, I feel their's is the most beautiful ~

Overall it is incredibly beautiful with creamy fabric *~*  It feels utterly delicious ^w^

Checking out & receiving confirmation wasn't too bad; and I received it in a timely matter with communication on its shipment & link to its tracking :3  The only minor detail was the mix up in my address number :x  At least it arrived to me still! :D

I knew that the measurements of the dress, and my being short would mean the dress stopping just above my ankles, but after looking through their dress possibilities in their catalog prior to--paired with some simple, classic, grown-up girl heels~ its a lovely lady-like ensemble ^.^

Dream Come True: Innocent World Lotta JSK (Nordic Blue)

My dream came true~
After two years, and with the help of Trilainna's searching habits xD  I finally got my ultimate number one dream dress *-*

This dress set was a set worth waiting for~


It came with:

• The head bow
• Matching blouse
• JSK
• Limited edition picnic set
• & Mirror

:O!

I ran around frantically--returning merchandise I had purchased, to make back the funds I had to get it O_o

One thing I'll say I miss were these~

 

;~;

Jeffery Campbell's Zip 2 Snake Skin Shoes *~*

I also posted like crazy--all the best ticket items I could sell and make the most money off of :O

Considering what was included in the set, it was a good deal for what I was getting :)

I was actually sad the morning it came to my door--and there it was when it rang, to pick me up, along with the rest of the day:

A gift from Victoria's Secret :3

and support and encouragement from a post office worker I've befriend there who told me I was going places, that I'm gonna be someone, because I've got a good head on my shoulders ;~; <3

I was lucky to have included in the set, my first Lolita blouse xD  And it goes with the set! :O  The lace matches it exactly!

It came just in time for PMX :)  And I wore it along side my other valued pieces: Metamorphose's Twinkle Journey & Baby the Stars Shine Bright Bunny Milk Snow Strawberry :)

I never made a post on obtaining this piece :<  Shame on me >.>  But it was a piece I wanted very much as well @~@  We were all there, a group of us girls at a tea party meet, and as this tends to follow, we all gathered online and were starstruck over Meta's new Twinkle Journey release @_@  Ugh, how could we not want it? :O  Its practically a print of The Last Unicorn! *~*  I swooned over the page daily, and debated and worked over in my head how to get it, or which one would I even get O.O  Until one day of fortune, my good friend sold it to me *~*

I received a precious experience that this was what they meant by being patient; what you're wishing for is coming to you in perfect timing~


Speaking of which, I also purchased Innocent World's British Bear's JSK in cafe au lait at an INCREDIBLE PRICE! :O  And in perfect timing too!  I was fortunate enough to come across it while casually browsing the comm_sales and find it at its third and final reduction! :O


I had been meaning to seek this print out and buy it in general, but now to wear in theme for my family Christmas :) Plaid.  And how perfectly fitting to make the theme more lovely in Lolita :3

Isn't the cord I've created for it wonderful?! :D

I already had the socks for some time now, and now here it is complete with its matching dress :)

The Juicy Couture Experience

The Best Lolita Rain Boots In The World

My first Juicy Couture purchase~ :3

I was pretty excited xD

Its just one of those things where it's partially because it's a pricey brand, and if the purchase experience is as royally fitting as the store set up and image of the collection is xD

--I even took a picture of the store to commemorate my first time xD

How it all came about was a simple shopping-hang-out-day with a girlfriend of mine. Browsing the shops, I came upon their pair of rain boots . . . InCREdiBLy CUTE rain boots! >~<

Now, from time to time, there are a few specific things I am looking for that I don't easily find to my liking :| And therefore becomes a prolonged search for the one.

There was one other time before these, when I was looking for a specific sweat pant style; I literally COULD NOT FIND this style of sweat pants! O_O Then one casual browsing day in Victoria's Secret--I FIND IT! :D

--$40

"$40 for sweatpants! >:O" Well, because I've been looking for these for such a long time ._. I'll get them--

~And me and the sweat pants lived happily ever after xD

These were a must have.

$130

$130, is quite a price tag for a pair of rain boots... But we know this is brand pricing--and for me, it wasn't too bad of a price I was willing to pay :3

It was a couple of weeks of diligently holding onto the money I made from my sales before I could make the amount I needed to buy them :3

Once the shopping day came, a sales associate and I both gushed with each other like girlfriends over how cute these boots were, previous shopping experiences, and precautions for avoiding regrets on missed purchases in the future ;) I loved her; she ~made~ my experience (`-`)

I not only left with my very own Juicy Couture rain boots, but the shopping bag that is now an added souvenir ^_^

Royally packaged as the label entails ^_^
