Harajuku Fashion Review ~ Totoro Blouse

So as I mentioned in my 3rd Lolita Login, I came across this adorable Totoro blouse after discovering another Totoro blouse from the same store on Tumblr.

The blouse is from Harajuku Fashion and it is $24.70/£15.92 and was $9/£5.80 to ship to the UK. Also I used Pastel Cuties discount code for 10% off so over all is cost $31.23/£20.13.

It took two weeks to get to me which is pretty quick, it arrived safely packaged as well.
The smaller grey package -




Pictures in the initial packaging and straight out of packaging :









Neatly folded in a clear plastic cover.









Out of the plastic cover, with original tags.




Top unfolded: 

Here are newer photos of the top :























The embroidery is so cute, and well made, there are no loose threads anywhere.

There are two sizes and I chose Large, there are clear measurements to choose your size.

It fits me well (I have to wear a binder for slightly better fitting), I am a UK size 8/10, if that helps for reference.
It's soft and comfortable to wear as well.



 I love the cute, wooden buttons.




The sleeves are quite tight, but there are buttons so you don't have to have it fastened so that's fine.






I think this is so cute, and perfect for lolita and other styles.

Thank you for reading~

Geisha Wigs is Back~ Lush Wig Review 1 ✿

So I wasn't planning on reviewing this wig because Geisha Wigs was originally closing down so I didn't see much point but now they are re-launching as Lush Wigs~ YAY
So sorry some photos are missing as I wasn't preparing to write a review ^-^;

✿Twin Tails Sweet Heart✿ 




I've been wanting this design for so long as when I heard Geisha Wigs were closing I had to get this before it was gone for good. And I managed to get the last one! Someone was checking out with the last one when I tried adding it to my basket, but I was determined and I kept adding it until it accepted and it was mine~. (preparing myself for lolita buys ahaa) (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و

The price of this wig was £20 and postage and packaging cost £4.50, which is a good price for a wig any way never mind a twin tail. Also as Geisha Wigs was closing down they gave a discount code, which gave me a total of £22.50. (*´꒳`*)

Once ordered, it took 9 days to get to me which is super quick! I thought it'd take longer due to them selling everything out of stock. 

It arrived in a cute pink parcel, here's it in a picture with a few other things I got in the holiday. 


The wig and each of the pigtails were rapped in individual hair nets in the same plastic wallet.


Got a cute business card as usual 
(◕‿◕✿)

Here's what the wig look liked when I first got it out of the packaging :





The ringlets are so pretty, and there were no noticeable nots.

The wig is adjustable, and has a light cream netting and so do the clips on the pigtails.



As you can see it has s full fringe, but it is still cute long so you can style it how you want.
Before I styled it:


After I styled it: 


I believe this wig is heat resistant, I wish to cosplay Sweetie Belle with it so I will attempt curling the fringe soon and update on that. (๑>◡<๑)

And as you can see the ringlets are still pretty tight and I have worn this wig twice. 

I can't wait to experiment more with styling this wig, especially the pigtails. 

This wig is adorable and I am so happy I managed to buy it. ❀.(*´◡`*)❀.
I hope Lush Wigs bring it back, if they do I will link it below. 

Thank you for reading, I hope this helped.

Lolita Login 3 ~ All dressed up and no where to go

Last Log In

So in my last log in I went through the beginning stages of a new co-ord I was planning. I was also going to celebrate International Harajuku Fashion Walk day with some friends but that ended up being cancelled, though I was upset I still wanted to try everything on~.

So on Wednesday I put everything together and felt pretty cute (´∩ω∩`).



















 Items I haven't mentioned before are the wig which is from Geisha Wigs/Mermaid Wigs (Review Coming Soon), circle lenses from Oh My Lens (Review Coming Soon) and my Totoro necklace (Review).

I'm thinking of purchasing a grey wig at some point to match this co-ord a bit better but for now this looks okay, I also need to style the fringe in this wig.

Next I'll be looking for a few more accessories for this co-ord, maybe some tights or garters for the socks I wore. Also I may look for a coat, for the colder seasons, or most of the time in England...


Here is a review for the blouse, (Coming Soon) it's so adorable, I'm definitely adapting it into more outfits.

Lolita Logins ~ 2. Totoro Spring Co-Ord


Last Log In


So this year I want to put together at last one proper co-ordinate, I have worn my dresses in outfits before, like at Goth Weekend, however I want to put together a better themed and more intricate co-ord.

Here's my outfit from Goth Weekend, I will be getting stuff for a gothic co-ord with this dress but as it's summer still I'm going to work on my JSK first.

Also I have organised a harajuku walk with some friends for the International Harajuku Day so I have a deadline. The walk is on the 29th, a few days after the actual day but it was the closest I could arrange.

So since my prom, I've purchased a petticoat, though I've been thinking of getting a tutu styled one? But for now, the one I have is fine. I also got some cute lolita socks from CutesyKink so that's another thing off the list.

The main thing I need is a blouse, I dunno how I managed to wear it without a blouse before...
So I the other week I was just chilling on Tumblr and came across this amazing Totoro blouse with a link~


The pink detail would look really cute with my JSK, and Totoro is adorable so I had to have this blouse. However the blouse is long sleeved and it may be warm on the walk so I will postpone this purchase.

On the same shop, I found another Totoro blouse, it's not as matching as the first one, but it's still really pretty and I want to try and make a pink-green-grey co-ord? Something light, and spring looking.


So after purchasing this I went to look for a bag, it's not a 'lolita bag' but it's cute, and fits my co-ord theme and I can use it for a lot of outfits.


I needed something cute that would hopefully fit my camera in it, that's my main worry with lolita bags - most of them seem quite small. 

I really want some grey shoes, but I can't find any flat ones that don't take months to ship... I guess black shoes won't ruin the look... I hope. 

If you know where I can get any grey flat shoes, love platforms, then please comment, I would really really appreciate it. 


Also I thought it'd look nice to have white and green accessories but they'll take awhile to find, but I found a pretty floral headband from Claire's~. There's a Claire's near where we're having the walk so I may pop in to see if they have it on the day.


At the moment I'm staying at my boyfriend's and my sister messaged me saying all my purchases have arrived, including a wig I may or may not include... We'll see. I will be back the day before the walk so not much time to change anything...

Just less than a week to go until I will be trying my attempt at a new co-ord. I hope it looks cute~.

Lolita Logins ~ 1. After 5 Years

Hello and welcome to my new section of my blog, and as you can probably guess it's about the amazing Japanese fashion style named Lolita.


I have known and admired lolita for around 5 years now, I know that is a super long time, but when I first discovered it I really didn't like, and there for didn't care much about, my appearance. I was over weight, which there is nothing wrong with I just didn't like it personally for me, I had loads of spots and my hair just sat there... I did try though, I bought a dress, a Wa Lolita style so it covered a lot but I only wore it about two times and then stuffed it in my wardrobe.

I still loved the style though along with other Harajuku fashion styles, and continued to draw them and blog them on my tumblr.

So a few years later, I was starting to loose weight, looking after myself better, and my hair was becoming pretty awesome. I was going to finish school soon so prom was on the way and of course, I wanted to dress in lolita. I originally wanted a dress form Metamorphose however I understood my parents didn't have much money so I found a site called Milanoo and found a simple, pretty pink JSK that was under £50, one of the cheapest prom dresses I think.

Didn't wear it that great because I ran out of time to buy a petticoat but I still felt confident and kind of cute, I also got compliments; I'm sure I recall one of my teachers saying I looked like a Japanese cartoon character, I loved the compliment.

Now I am in my third year of college, I think I know what I want to do with my life, I want to be a fashion designer, and I want to design lolita dresses into my line. But before I can do so, I need to wear it more.

Now you know the back story, welcome to my lolita logins.
Here I will blog about my journey into lolita fashion.

So far I have two dresses, but nothing I would quite call a co-ordiniate yet.

I also have joined two lolita groups near where I live so hopefully I can make more friends that like the fashion. And I have also joined a UK sales group on Facebook.

So I am trying to complete a co-ord with my JSK, and maybe my Wa dress too, before I purchase a new dress (I also need to save up...).

I have never purchased a well known brand dress but luckily my friend Jenna made a video about it which was super helpful.




Now to save money, search and buy.
