International Lolita Day ~Spring~ 2012

Hello Lovelies~

 Did you enjoy The first ILD of the year? Did you celebrate in a sea of pink and macaroons? Did you sip tea and surround yourself with good books while dreaming of sunsets in Italy? Did you write dark poetry and tip your nails with blood red jewels? Or maybe you worked and only got to celebrate it in your heart while dreaming of cupcakes and the Hello Kitty  slippers that await you at home! However you celebrated or didn't celebrate, I hope you had a wonderful Saturday, regardless.

As for me~! I rocked this holiday in style!

I wore my newest dress, the Pink and Blue Tartan Baby, The Stars Shine Bright dress, which ya'll have seen before, but this time, rather that wear a headdress or bow, I took the dress in a Elegant Hime style in the way I did my hair ^_^

 Here is a different Angle.

I did my hair in a braided side bun, held together by bobie pins, and used my pink mini tiara as an accent, then got creative with a strand of pearls I got for my birthday last year! The effect was stunning and I felt like royalty.

 I even got Mom to dress up in one of my dresses, but I never got a picture of it sadly.

 My mother and I went to the local art museum to see the Egyptian Exhibit but sadly we were unimpressed with the selection on display. Everything was interesting, but it wasn't arranged in any logical way and with so many other people there to see the exhibition as well, it made seeing everything difficult.

We then went to the casinos, because with every 10 point in slot or table games play you get a free buffet, so we figured it would be a fun way to spend a few hours. We went in with $20, walked out with $50, and still only paid $11 for lunch! It was SO good~!

 After that we went to get our nails done as it is a tradition we do every ILD. I got my nails done to match my dress.

O.O....PINK!!!! Lol! It's a very lovely shade. It's called, 'Blonde Date', from OPI.

 After that we came home. I hadn't slept since the previous day and actually fell asleep in the car. I was so sad! but lucky we did come home because I found a package outside my door!!!!!!

I didn't think it would come in so fast, but it did! and While it's not my normal style, I love it ^_^

  Look!!!

When I saw it on the mannequin, I thought it was a dress and for $50, I just couldn't pass it up. When it arrived it turns our it's a long t-shirt that was advertised as a T-shirt Dress, but I am much taller than the average Japanese girl, so it's a touch short on me ^^; Not that I mind. It fit's everywhere it promised to and isn't tight or anything! I love it love it love it! and totally play to alter a pair of boots I have to go with it!

Putumayo!

So that I was ILD ^_^ I had a blast and am now thinking of brewing a pot of tea to accompany a night of movie watching.

Outfit Post! 3-15-12

Hello Lovelies~

 Because I have felt SO much better this last week while attending my Dealer's classes than I have in the last few months of going to my other job, I have started trying to take more pictures of the outfits I'm wearing. Todays' outfit was a tribute to summer ^_^

I am wearing a simple white peter pan collared shirt under my Metamorphose 'Marine Border Shirring' JSK. I twisted my hair up with a clip in the back and added three large rose hair pins I made myself. The final touch to the outfit are my nails.

I used an O.P.I. color called 'Aphroditie's Pink Nightie' that I borrowed from a friend and added a simple like of glitter across each nail. I love how it turned out. Each fingernail looks like it has a row of sparkly diamond necklaces on it!

Another spa night at home ^_^

Hello Lovelies~

Today was another hard day at work, but it was also the last day of our President's Day sale and so everyone and their mother was in trying to scoop up as many great deals as they could. Mad houses would be calmer...I swear it! Lol ^_^ So tonight I am doing another relaxing at home spa night.

 This time I am useing 'Freeman's Beautiful Avacado and Oatmeal Facial Clay'....

I have never used this mask before, so it's a fun new experience ^_^ The clay is a light green, almost Mint green in color, to be honest, I was expecting something a little darker in color, not that the color really matters. I had to laugh a bit when I realized I was wearing light pink pajama bottoms that were covered in roses, a light blue tank top, multi colored pastel yarn bows and had a light mint green mask covering my face. I feel all kinds of colorful tonight!

 More on the results of my mask later, but for now we'll move on to the next step in my spa night. My nails! What spa night is complete without it? This is half for fun and half for nasesity. I broke two nails while at work ~_~!

This is an old picture, but it is the color I painted my nails tonight and just didn;t feel like taking a new picture of it. ^^;

 The color is O.P.I.'s 'Warm and Fozzie' from the release of 'The Muppets'. It was the only color I was able to get from the collection and it makes me a bit sad, but I love it to death and have already used half the bottle. It looks great on me and I say that in full knowledge of the fact that normally I wear browns a bit akwardly. 

Here is a swatch of the color I did a few months back. Look how it practically glows bronze! I love it so much!!!

 Ok, So I just washed off my facial and my skin is all tingly. But after an hour my skin is still soft and smooth. The oatmeal calmed the redness in my skin and some of the small bumps I was worrying over were soothed away.

I really enjoy a good spa night. next on my agenda.... >.>.....a wonderful pedicure!!!!

All the Small Things...

Hello Lovelies~

 Seems like a lot has happened to me over the last few weeks, and yet, in the same time, it's like nothing of monumental importance has occurred. But isn't that with life is? A series of small joys all clustered together to make a full and exciting life.

So! Where should I start?.....How about with the newest acquisitions to my room?

 The other day I was at Walmart and saw the most beautiful black and white pictures that I just had to have. At the time of my not quite impulse buy, I wondered what I was going to do with them. I'll be the first to admit that these pictures don't fit in with the Rococo theme I'm going for in my room, but I knew I couldn't pass them up.

I took them home, put one of them up and found I didn't have another free nail to hand the second, so while it's not hung, it's still displayed.

 Want to see the pictures???

Ta da!!! Two of the most beautiful women in all of history. Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. If I could find a picture of Elizabeth Taylor, I'd be completely content.

 International Lolita Day, the winter version, just passed and while I stayed in most of the day and watched Doctor Who all day, I did go out and get new slippers. They are super cute and they support breast cancer awareness.

See the ribbons on the side? I plan to remove those and reposition them on a more cute design. ... But that's another post....

And for my final joy of the week, as I told a friend just the other day, I have been obsessed with nail polish lately. My favorite color of my latest purchaces, is 'Warm and Fozzie' by OPI.

 OPI released several colors for 'The Muppet Movie', which was a great movie by the way and if you haven't seen it yet, you should. From 'Pepe's Purple Passion' to 'Excuse e' Moi' all of the colors were wonderful. Sadly they are limited edition and 'Warm and Fozzie' was the only color the shop I was in had left.

It's a beautiful gold chocolate tan color with deep inset shimmer. It takes two to three coats to get it looking on the nails like it does in the bottle.

This is after three regular coats. not to light, not to thick.

 So, that is my past week in a nut shell! Hope you enjoied it and I hope to hear from you soon ^_^ Look forward to my up coming posts where I show off my newly designed slippers ^_~
