Small Lolita & Fairy-Kei Haul!

I have pretty much stopped buying lolita clothes as I don't really get many chances to dress up at the moment, and I have far too many clothes anyway. BUT when I saw one of my dream dresses at auction (one I'd narrowly missed buying in the Angelic Pretty sale) I couldn't resist buying it!


My gorgeous Moon Night Theater pleated JSK in wine!



The details are amazing, from the custom AP lace to the glittery golden thread and soft ribbons.

My only problems with it are that the pleats mess up easily (this dress already needs an iron after wearing it just once), and I also max it out as there is no shirring. So I guess I should cut down on the cakes.

To make my order with my shopping service seem more worthwhile, I bought a few other things too. Unfortunately I got scammed on one item (a cotton candy sweater from Milklim - gutted as I've always wanted one of those sweaters!).


A silly OTT furry jacket from Angelic Pretty! I have no idea what I'll wear it with, but the price was good and it's just so silly I couldn't not buy it. All the lace is detachable and amazing quality. I'd love to try a hime outfit with it, but that would require doing my hair and make-up properly xP


Swimmer shoes! I haven't tried them on yet, but they should be fine. I thought they'd be cute for fairy-kei style outfits.


And lastly, a long Milklim top. I wasn't majorly keen on it when I bought it, I just really wanted to own some Milklim as it's easily one of my favourite clothing brands. However upon seeing it in real life, I love it!


The colours and details are so cute. It's more shapeless than I'd thought it'd be though, but I'll have fun making some coords with it.


Not from Japan, but I figured I'd add these here anyway - a cute panda purse from New Look. It's pretty tiny and a bit crushed already, but pandas are so cute xP


And these were from Asda. The Hello Kitty pencil was 37p and the Monster High case was 75p! I was annoyed though as there was supposed to be a 75p MH notebook too, but they were sold out. And Asda had tons of cool stuff I wanted but couldn't buy as I was with mum (they had dollymix ponies (the G3 kind!), and Cupid).

I also have a few non-cutesy clothing purchases I'll share in a seperate post tomorrow =]

BBQs & Beaches

This weekend was both busy and relaxing at the same time, with a lot of time spent in the sun! I've never been much of a Summer person as I don't deal with heat well, but when you are lazing around and not doing anything it's just about bearable ;]

I ended up spending the whole weekend over Rob's house, which was great because his house is always cold!


Casual, plain outfit I wore.

We went down to our local high street and I found Draculaura (may have done the whole over-excited and making odd noises thing =P).


On the Saturday evening we had a barbecue. It ended up being pretty expensive and we didn't know what we were going, but it was delicious and nice to sit outside all evening!


Rob was in charge of the food - all veggie, of course. Because I'm 'wrong in the face' like that. We had burgers and sausages =3


Obligatory jug of Pimm's.

On the Sunday, we drove down to Weymouth. Usually we go Weston-Super-Mare, but Rob always complains about it! The journey took around 2 hours, but we had Frank Turner CDs to keep us happy =P


Managed to wear a somewhat gothic outfit to the beach?! Although I stripped to my fluorescent bikini as soon as we got to the beach.

The shops were a lot more rubbish than I remembered, and we struggled to find decent food for lunch. But after that we just sunbathed all day!


We only paddled for a short while as some little brats started harassing us, telling us to get a room (...we were standing about a foot apart) and splashing us so I got annoyed and stormed back to the beach! I think Rob found sunbathing a bit boring, but he wouldn't paddle without me and I didn't want to get wet Dx



It was a perfect beach day really, although due to the good weather the beach was totally packed. But I got to eat chips and ice cream so I was more than happy!

I usually burn despite sun cream, but I only burned in a few places this time as I kept my sun lotion topped up. But burns in odd places - ankles, feet, between my boobs, butt cheeks!! Next time I think I'll put lotion over my whole body before putting on my bikini so I don't miss anywhere.

Unfortunately back to being boiled and bored in my room now as I have a database to put together (I have no idea what I'm doing). Also assuming I'm missing out on a party later as my housemate finished all his exams, but I have a hospital appointment and will be visiting my ill brother in hospital too =[

Fairy-Kei Day 19 ~ Toys

☆ Day nineteen: 5 of your favourite toys.

Hard to pick just 5 as I am overrun with ponies at the moment!! I don't really have specific favourites, so I've just picked a few.

• Murray - he's been with me for a long time. He usually has a spot in my bed, but he's been replaced by a hot water bottle since the weather turned colder.
  
  


• Giant Pinkie Pie - I have a Toola Roola too, but Pinkie is my favourite pony.
  
  


• Princess Luna and Princess Celestia - they came in a set, so I've put them together. I just love how glittery they are (I'm a total sucker for glitter).
  
  


• Dewdrop Dazzle - pretty colours!
  
  


• Abbey Bominable - she has my name, and is also glittery!
  
  

I know girls into fairy-kei are often into vintage toys, but still seems like an odd question to me. Until this year I had little interest in toys...I am almost 21 after all!
