Angelic Pretty Inspired Earrings

  This past week or so I have been making earrings that are inspired by popular Angelic Pretty prints.  They are a little funky and a little different and I love them.  Check them out.  You can buy them for yourself or a friend.  Even if you don't have the print they still go with a lot of other dresses.  If you would like to purchase a pair or two just let me know in the comments.  They are $18.00 per pair and it DOES include shipping.  Not bad.  They are all available except for the Milky Berry pair but I still wanted to show them off.  I especially like the Wonder Cookie and Jewelry Jelly ones the best.
  I plan on making more.  I also want to make some that are inspired by Baby prints and perhaps some by Meta and Moi-même-Moitié.  The earring hooks are silver plated but if you need sterling ones because of allergies I could get them for you no problem.  It would just be a few more dollars, like $3.00.

Lolita & Japanese Fashion Magazines

  I like Japanese fashion magazines and I really like having Gothic & Lolita Bibles for a few reasons.  I love fashion, I love Lolita, and I really like getting freebies.  I used to have a cute little shop that I would visit so I could buy the latest Cutie magazine and get the free goody that came with it.  I got a free purse, phone charm, mirror, hair tie, kitty bag, and other random fun things.  Now when I want any of the Japanese magazines I have to order them on-line but they cost so much new that I buy them used.  I got together most of them to share with you, take a peek.

CUTIE

This Cutie is a special one to me.  It is an older one from 2001 and it was given to me by a good friend from Japan when I was in community college.  

KERA

I really like KERA.  There are always ads for Baby and AP along with other brands.  It is nice to see their layouts and new prints.  They tend to be a bit more on the punk side which is just super fun to me.

Random Things

The egg magazine came from a friend in Japan who knows that I love Japanese fashion.  The Junie was also from the college friend in 2001.  Lastly, the two PHAIDON books that highlight street fashion and Lolita.

 Zipper

If any of you have read Paradise Kiss you will recognized Zipper as the magazine that Miwako's big sisters clothing brand  "Happy Berry" is in.

GOTHIC & LOLITA BIBLES

These are fun to look at, great for inspiration and ideas, and the pride of my collection (other than the old Cutie mag).

Detective Cats

  My husband uses his ipod alot, I mean ALOT.  He takes it to work and plays with it when he has free time.  Today he took pictures of our 2 cats and used an application to make them look like cool 70's detectives.  When I saw these pictures on Facebook I burst out laughing.  Take a gander.

 This is Bella.  She is our Japanese Bobtail who meows like she will be mute tomorrow.

And Eirwyn.  She is deaf and has only meowed 1 time in the 1.5 years we have had her but she grunts alot.

Make Up Case

  When I was about 13 or so I had a Caboodle make up case and i loved it.  It was blue and had cool sparkles all over it.  It held my nail polish collection and that was pretty much it.  Well, about 2 months ago I was at my local Walmart and I spotted a very familiar case.  They are making caboodle's again!  I scooped the case up, paid my sixteen dollars, and had a new awesome make up case.  I needed a new bigger one because I had too many things to fit in my old one.  Plus I love the way it is broken up.

I use the bottom part for mascara, eye shadow, lotion, and all the make up things.  The small top section holds the brushes, comb, and miscellaneous tools.  Lastly, the top section holds bows, rings, jewelry, barrettes, bobby pins, and other odd items.  

 I know I don't have too my eye shadow options but I think the five that I have serve me well.  The middle bottom cream color is a good base.  Much of my wardrobe is made up of pinks and girly colors so the pink, blue, and lavender get used often.  The black and grey compact gets used everyday.  I always line my eye with black like eye liner.

I bought this palette so I wouldn't have to buy all of these colors separately.  It only cost me about 18 dollars from amazon.  I highly suggest getting one.  It is fun to sit down and play with it.  Mixing & matching colors like electric blue and bright pink can have very cool results.  The only thing I don't like about it is that there are so many browns.  I don't need 16 different browns.  

 I love mascara.  No way around it, I just do.  When I started wearing make up on a daily basis mascara was the first thing that I wore everyday.  All of the other things followed after that.  I have spent anywhere from $2-$18 on mascara and I must say Maybelline is my favorite.  I was using the yellow tube, "Colossal Volume" up until I bought the "Falsies" kind.  I can't really tell the difference between the two but they both cover well, don't clump, last all day, and make my lashes pretty.

 I have a few expensive name brand things but these are a few that I use regular enough.  The tubes are by Benefit (lip gloss and eye shadow) and the Hard Candy is eye shadow.

I only have 3 brushes right now and they do their job.  The top white brush has a nice angle and is soft, the middle brush is small and very fine, and the bottom one is soft and fluffy.  

 Cover up for the occasional zit.

 I needed a new brush and I nearly peed myself when I saw this Little Mermaid one.

 Nothing too exciting here.  Tweezers, nail clippers, and eyelash curler.

Adding flowers and bows to my hair is one of my things.  No matter what I wear or where I am going I always have pretty things in my hair.  I want to make more bows.  I have worn the white and blue ones about 500 times in the past year.

Long Time No Post.

    Please forgive me.  I have fallen behind.  Things have been spicing up in my life and I have been busy.  Let me explain myself and list the good things I have been doing.

   1:  I have been working out at my local gym with a goal of a healthy body again.
   2:  I have been working more in order to  pay off my student loans.
   3:  I am brainstorming a big Lolita project. (a secret for now and most likely for a while)
   4:  I have sketching and designing my heart out in preparation for a Lolita fashion show in the Summer of 2011.

  I know this is no excuse to completely ignore my blog and my readers and I won't let it happen again.  I will explain these reason in further detail later because I am quite excited about them.  So, lets just jump back in.  Sailor Moon goodies..... I found more.

This is just a small bit batch of Sailor Moon dolls that I have.  These were just ones that I had stored at my parents house.  Like Lolita, Sailor Moon gives me warm fuzzy feelings inside.  It makes me happy and that is why I share it with you.  I will have to dive into my closet and break out the really good stuff like wands and rare items.
