Confessions of a Shopaholic

I really need to stop shopping! My room is a ridiculous hoarder's mess and I need to throw things out, but doing so gives me crazy panic attacks. No choice but try to soldier through it, but it's so hard! My style changes all the time so if I get rid of something I know I'll want it back a few months down the line.


First up is my most recent Black Milk order! Impulse buys as they went limited. The Burned Velvet Sheer Spartans were $90 (£50.35), and they look pretty cool but I have no idea how to wear them as you can see pants through! I'll also have to remove the labels are they show as well haha. Crazy Cat Lady Reversible Skater Dress was $85 (£47.55) and is almost completely sold out now, so I'm glad I took a chance on it. I did get hit with around £30 customs though, which stung.


The print looks so much better in real life! I wore it today as I couldn't wait to give it a go. The new cut made me a little uncomfortable at first as it's cut much lower in the front and I don't really have the chest for it, but I still like it.


Here I am modelling it by a giant kitten in town! All cats, all the time.


This Wet Look Cheerleader Skirt was waiting for me when I got home. I got it on Ebay for £22 and although it's tagged it has white stains on =/ I should be able to clean it up, but the lying seller doesn't seem likely to give me any money back. The cut looks really uneven too, but hopefully I can get wear out of it anyway.


Whilst in town I was finally able to find this lucky cat top in H&M in (hopefully) my size! I also found a reduced Pinkie Pie in Claire's, & Rob treated me to a Pokémon booster and some loose cards in Pink Planet =3 he also bought me a yummy hot chocolate in Costa to make up for the disappointment of BOTH bubble tea shops being closed down.


Lastly, my Y-R-U Qosmos that I ordered from Schuh! They were £55 each and I was supposed to buy one pair, but I couldn't choose. They have 365 day returns, so I figure I can just return them if I never use them. I'm a little disappointed with how they look close up, but it's not like it notices when worn. One shoe has a bump where the logo is stitched on the heel which sucks and will probably cause blisters, but I think it would be too much hassle to try to exchange them =[ other than that they seemed pretty comfy when I tried them on, and fit well considering I have really awkwardly sized feet.


Honestly they don't look right on my tiny feet and stumpy twiggy-ankled legs, but I just love them! Hopefully I can wear them a lot and hopefully my mum won't kill me for buying new things (she will).

I accidentally bought a bunch more things on Ebay, AND have Battle of the Kings Black Milk on the way. Must try really hard to avoid all shopping now -_-

Pink Purchases!

I started writing this post a whole month ago, but was too lazy to add the photos until now so it's out of date. Sorry!

Since I just turned in my last essay and finished my degree on the 22nd of May, I treated myself to some new things! They arrived before I finished, but that doesn't matter ;P

I'd been wanting a 3DS for a while as the next Pokémon game won't be playable on the DS. I kinda feel like I'm cheating on my DS though...I've had it since Pokémon Diamond and Pearl came out!


I searched specifically for a pink one this time! I ended up getting this one secondhand for £56 with a game card with 20 games and a DS game case. Unfortunately it has a scratch on the touch screen even though the seller said they'd replaced the screen, and the stylus is missing (they sent a new one but it took almost a month and is visibly chewed). The parental lock was also on when I received it and it would have been a pain to contact Nintendo to crack it, but thankfully I guess the pin really quickly as I figured the previous owner's kid's birth year was a good place to start!


My only games at this point are Super Pokémon Rumble and the new Mystery Dungeon! I'd played the Wii trial version of Rumble before and while it's easy and probably not a very long game, it is really cute. The Dungeon one is somehow even slower than the old ones, but thankfully with fewer flashbacks. Rob bought it for me as a congrats on finishing present. I want more games, but not really sure what. I am tempted by Animal Crossing as everyone keeps going on about it, but it's expensive and honestly I think it look boring...


This is my case for it at the moment, from ArtsCow for $0.99. It was supposed to be for my make-up, but I'd rather use it for this now...*swoon*


Lastly, my Dreamy Horoscope skirt! It cost £60 secondhand, and while I felt that was quite a lot for an unpopular print/colourway combo I didn't want it to slip away. I love this shiny kind of material even if it may be looked down on by many lolitas. Of course, it's also super short! I can't wait to wear it, although that will be difficult now that I'm back home. Going to try to be brave enough to wear it at the weekend though (my mum HATES lolita and calls it ugly and children's clothes and generally bullies me about it...in addition to my being fat and useless, of course).

So I finally made a post! A lot has happened since I last posted. I have moved back home which is hell, having difficulty finding any jobs that I'm qualitfied enough for, etc. It does look like I'm on track for a 2:1 grade in my degree though, which is great as it was looking shaky at one point!

Band Tees

Sorry I haven't written in a while, I've been doing absolutely nothing and so I didn't really have anything to write about! Sadly I start work soon, so I doubt I'll have much to write about then either.

Finally all the merchandise I bought following Reading has arrived! When not wearing lolita, I often wear jeans or shorts with a band tee or hoodie...it's just the comfiest thing to wear, while letting people around me know what I'm all about ;]

Anywho, onto the new arrivals!



First up, my Reading tee itself. I like the simple design of it, although I realise now it's pretty pointless for me to have the line-up on the back as my hair completely covers it! It's a lovely navy colour.



This was probably my favourite package...it came in a box for one thing, which is always a bonus - my Frank Turner tee and hoodie! I've been living in these ever since they arrived xP The hoodie looks ridiculous on me though, as its widest part is where I'm the smallest. I guess I don't have the same proportions as a man!




And finally, my Muse tees. I was only going to buy the Origin Of Symmetry one, but then I saw that the stadium tour one was on sale. Since I didn't pick up a tee at the time I figured I'd buy it. Sadly the former doesn't have the festival dates on the back and the latter looks like it will be too small. Damn! But now I have a grand total of 6 Muse tees ^_^'

I love how band merchandise has come along though...I remember when women's sizes were rare (so I had to drown in a men's small which would generally come down almost to my knees...and when they did exist the material would wear out and fade really quickly) and the colour choice was black, black or black. I got rid of most of my old ones because of these faults, but all this stuff I will keep until it no longer fits.

Also my gifts for Rob just arrived!


I wasn't expecting one of them to arrive so quickly, so now I have to decide which should be a birthday gift and which an anniversary gift. I got him Pokémon gym badges (lazercut and really awesome looking, even if they are a pointless and nerdy gift) and a Vivienne Westwood shirt (I really hope it fits, I don't understand man sizes at all!).
