Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

I was lucky to attend Kyary's second ever UK show on the 29th of April!

We were quite near the front of the queue so after rushing to buy merch and dumping my backpack at the cloakroom I joined my friends right near the front! I was in the third row ♥


The empty stage and excitement building!


I'd never been in O2 Sherpherd's Bush Empire before, but the ceiling was cute! The stalls area was smaller than I thought it would be, but there were seated levels above!


I brought glow sticks that were supposed to become a cat headband, but they didn't work at all and I had to ditch them on the floor (too short to wave my arms around at shows!).


I love how expressive the backing dancers were!

INVADER INVADER was the first song which was great as it's my current favourite!


Creepy bunny thing!

Pamyurin was there too before the show, but I didn't realise that the photos with him were free until it was too late to get one.


Second outfit! The male backing dancers were so happy looking haha.

TSUKEMA TSUKERU


I love this bear!


Third outfit. My camera had a smeared lens for this one though, but FASHION MONSTER!

 

PON PON PON! I love how bass-y everything was.

So much [blurry] cute!


SO ADORABLE!

CANDY CANDY


This outfit was my favourite.


I want a bunny hat like this!


And end.

I couldn't find a setlist for this specific show, but I'm pretty sure it's the same as the Australian setlist.


Stuff! The shirt has the tour dates on the back. I wanted the photobook too but at £30 I just couldn't afford it. I'm so glad I bought the shirt though as I have a feeling I'll be wearing it a lot.

I hope she tours again soon! I think I'll get a seat next time though as I couldn't see very well at all despite being near the front.

London Adventures

I wanted to take photos of eeeeeeverthing, so I'm having to split my Kyary Pamyu Pamyu stuff into 3 posts!


Since I missed the show last year (I bought a ticket but then sold it as I wasn't sure about spending so much money), I knew I had to go this year. It was still a hella expensive trip, even though I bought my train tickets in advance!


I always end up taking photos of my feet when waiting for the bus.


And of my face sometimes too!


Hurry up, bus!


I ended up getting to the train station a full hour before my train was due, so I took more selfies!


There was a bunch of cool art in the waiting room.


I also read the Metro and did all the Sudoku puzzles! Haven't done them for ages, but I somehow managed to not make any mistakes.


Yummy second breakfast of cinnamon swirl that I cooked when I did my pain au chocolat for breakfast!


And Skittles to deter train-based boredom.


Since there was a tube strike, I got the Circle line train straight to Shepherd's Bush Market. I was kinda sad as it meant not getting to spend the day in museums, and I wanted to visit Harrod's as I've never been there. Next time, for sure!


I had the world's crappiest Subway for lunch. They grossly overcharged me, charging me extra for toppings I didn't want (ONIONS does NOT sound like OLIVES, I had to pick all the olives out as I can't stand them!) and charging me for a coffee instead of tea. BOOOOO. I'm painfully British so I didn't demand them to redo it and just left and complained about it to everyone haha such fail.


I think I got to the venue around 15:30, so we had to while away the time!


Mostly we all took a ton of photos.


And admired everyone's outfits!


It took me ages to decide what to wear as I wanted to make an effort. I ended up wearing my Macaron Tartan salopette from Angelic Pretty with my Drop Dead Hate Hearts shirt, Angelic Pretty Candy Sprinkle socks, and Reeboks to match my Saltrock Girls backpack. I kept accessories simple and tried to dress comfortably!


Although googly eyes felt like a must. I want to use them under my eyes again as I think it looks cool! The forehead one not so much.

Here's a little video of the queueing peeps! We saw so many different people dressed in different styles, had our photos taken, and met a cute little girl dressed as Kyary (such a little superstar).

That's it for this post, but tons of kawaii shizz to come!

Game Of Thrones aka Yet More Black Milk

After falling in love with some items in this collection, I finally sat down and watched Game Of Thrones! I've also made more progress in reading A Clash Of Kings finally after starting it last Summer.

Customs was just over £30 again (boo). Ordered on 27th March, shipped on the 7th April, and arrived on the 22nd.


This time I got a Wonder Woman postcard, small sticker, and even a badge!

Drogon & Rhaegal Dragon Egg Skater Skirts - $60.01 (£33.37) each


I couldn't choose between the skirts, so I ended up buying both!


I probably shouldn't have, but I love them both so I don't regret it.

Drogon Dragon Egg Vegas Suit - $100.00 (£55.61)


I loved this when I saw it, but thought it was way too expensive and wouldn't look right on my chubby, flat-chested body. But I bought it on impulse one day when I needed cheering up...oops!


I found it funny that the size is printed on the crotch for some reason.


The cut is really strange as it doesn't stay covering my boobs at all, although this may be because my boobs are very small.


No booooooobs. Will need boobtape or glue or something!


It's fun to experiment with ways of tying it!

I'm really looking forward to hitting the beach in it, although I wish they'd released a regular swim version.

Velvet Mulled Wine Evil Cheerleader 2.0 - $120 (£66.73)


I also picked this up off Ebay for £44.20, so I saved quite a lot.


I love velvet, although when I wore this I ruined it immediately as my seatbelt rubbed against the shorts I was wearing underneath (I'd forgotten my safety shorts and don't like not being covered up). I'm hoping I can steam it out though, and at least I learned my lesson on how to treat velvet! It's still stunning anyway.

Cathedral Dress - Museum Piece


Lastly, I bought this from Sophie for £25! It's a size smaller than I'd have thought to buy, but it fits really well. I love it to pieces even though it's too low cut for my liking. I guess I have to learn to flaunt it!


This was the print that really got me into the brand, and it really doesn't disappoint. I think it'll be good for layering under shorts or even under tops to look like a skirt!

My addiction continues to grow! I'm really tempted to get the Drogon leggings just to complete my little set.

Amazon.co.jp Order 3

More AP stuff was released, so I ordered through Amazon again! Service & delivery was great as before. However the Kera I ordered was out of stock, which sucked.

I also realised why there are no customs charges from DHL - you pay the VAT upfront on Amazon. I think this is great as it means you don't have to pay those handling fees which are what usually make something too expensive! The total was £44 which is pretty steep, but GLB alone cost £25 in England anyways.


My stuff! Apologies for crappy iPhone photos.


Day Dream Carnival tote with the new AP mook. This mook even has recipes based on foods in Angelic Pretty prints! This was ￥1,500.


I also got the Wonder Cookie stationary set which came with a little booklet. I don't know why I bought this really as I probably won't use it and Wonder Cookie is probably the only AP print I don't like. But I love collecting novelties, I guess? It was ￥1,430.


I also got a recent Gothic & Lolita Bible for ￥1,300.

That was a kinda bare and pointless entry, but I hope you liked seeing my new stuff anyways ♥

Catch-Up - Sorry I've been rubbish!

I've been so busy recently with work and being tired and just in general not having enough time! I've been neglecting my blog a little, and completely neglecting my YouTube channel as filming videos takes too much effort. I really need to stop procrastinating! I'm sorry!

I figure I'll post a few random photos that were on my phone (my camera is out of batteries which is part of the reason I've not been good with my blogging).

My family have Longleat annual passes, so we go really often! Our visit tied in the Black Milk Photo A Day challenge day that was 'with an animal' so I got photos with the cuties!


I love red/lesser pandas!


They look so soft and snuggly, but they always seem really sad =[


Selfie with penguins, awh yiss.


Beautiful house. I'd love to do a lolita meet here, but entry is too expensive and you need to be able to drive, which sucks.

We also had a short trip to Weston-Super-Mare.


It was 'bracing'.


We ate chips and then went back home haha.

That's all for now! I have a few little hauls to post, and I'm hoping to start getting back into YouTube-ing soon too as it's been too long.

Lolita Blog Carnival: Your First Lolita Item

This week's Lolita Blog Carnival topic is first lolita item! My first skirt was from Bodyline, but I bought it on Ebay along with matching socks and tote for around £12 if I remember correctly. This was back in very early 2010!


The fabric was printed backwards for some reason, but the flocking on the trim was nice. I really don't think it was too terrible a first purchase, although I couldn't coord for shit. Unfortunately I deleted all my old webcam photos recently! I thought I posted them on Twitter before deleting them, but I can't find it. I wore a plain black long sleeved shirt and T.U.K. cat shoes...I looked awful but got lots of compliments somehow!

Pinky Paradise Circle Lenses

I finally decided to take the plunge and try some lenses! As a longterm wearer of glasses, I was pretty nervous about it.

I'd heard lots of people talking about Pinky Paradise, so I decided to order some from them. I wanted Geo Grang Grang Choco lenses but they were out of stock, so I picked Geo Angel Brown instead as they were the same price and size.


They looked a lighter brown than I had wanted, but I just wanted to try some lenses!

My order was placed on the 12th of February and were shipped on the 27th, arriving on the 13th of March. I'm delayed in reviewing them as I didn't want to buy lens solution until I knew the lenses were definitely coming!


These lenses were £12.45 + £3.72 shipping. They are 14mm lenses, so not super big. They also come with a free lens case, which is useful (and adorable!).

Since I've not worn lenses before, I really struggled to get them in and out. However, once in they were pretty comfortable after I used eyedrops! I have a feeling I have very slight astigmatism in my right eye though as that lens was a little blurry and less comfortable.


I love how they look, although my face looks so strange without glasses! My friends kept doing double takes. They look darker in than I thought, which is good as they are a good colour for my eyes. Also the enlargement isn't freakishly big, although I'd probably wear lashes with them where possible as with this photo to avoid looking too much like an alien!

I will probably order another pair soon, although the cost is a little off-putting. I guess I'll see if these ones last the full year they claim to before buying more.
