Long Time No See! (Post) ＼(●~▽~●)

Hello everyone! 

It's been 2 years since I last posted and I've honestly missed it so much. Why haven't I been posting you ask? Because I've been busy.. And a little bit lazy. 

So, I'm going to post today about what's been keeping me the last couple years.

So my last post was about Kyary's awesome outfits and costumes. Shortly after this post, I became less involved in Harajuku fashion and more involved in my cosplay - my League of Legends cosplay to be exact!

In particular, my whole year was taken over by my adoration and commitment to cosplay every single skin/costume of Katarina the Sinister Blade. I worked all year on her costumes, I did photo shoots for all of them, 

Default/ New Dawn Katarina, 

 

Mercenary Katarina,

 

Red Card Katarina,

 

 Sandstorm Katarina,

Kitty Cat Katarina, 

Bilgewater Katarina (Featuring Jason Mamoa (Khal Drogo, Aquaman) because even though I have amazing shots of this cosplay, I love this photo most),

High Command Katarina, 

Slay Belle Katarina,

and Warring Kingdoms Katarina!

 I also did a Battle Bunny Katarina!

 

I even DJ'd at Neko Nation as Katarina in not only Melbourne, but also Sydney,

I entered a competition run by Riot (League creators) as Katarina and won a trip to Sydney to be Katarina at their official event, 

I even got a Katarina related tattoo!

It's safe to say, my 2015 had a theme. But I didn't just cosplay her, I also cosplayed Firecracker Jinx, 

 

Gothic Orianna,

 

Nurse Akali,

and a non-League of Legends cosplay, Meme-chan from the ME!ME!ME! music video.

That was my 2015, my 2016 was totally different. I steered away from the LoL cosplays and returned to my anime loving cosplays. 

Some of which I shot were Hana from ME!ME!ME!, 

Saeko Busujima from Highschool of the Dead, 

 

and Madoka from Madoka Magica.

Shortly after the last photo shoot, I returned to Tokyo! It was just as amazing the second time, if not more. I got to see more species of Penguins,Magelanic and African, 

I finally got to go to my favourite Harajuku fashion brand's store (milklim),

And it was so magical there, the staff working their were so nice and even took photos of my coord and shibe tattoos to post online on the official milklim accounts.

I actually got to see Mt Fuji this time, and not just cloud.

All while wearing this cute ensemble!

I also got to see some beautiful cherry blossoms~~

When I came back to Australia, I started at a Japanese Language school! I've always wanted to learn the language properly so I'm super glad that I finally got onto it. (And I'm still there too yay!)

I didn't cosplay much when I got back from Japan, but when I went to see Jack Gleeson (Joffrey) and Travis Fimmel (Ragnar Lothbrok), I threw a couple costumes together:

Daenerys with Joffrey at Supanova Melbourne,

Babydoll and Ragnar at Supanova Sydney. (Yes I drove all the way there just to meet him!)

 

 In June of that year, I got to see my darling idol Kyary Pamyu Pamyu in concert for the third time~ But this time, in Melbourne! (Home!)

 

And I got to meet her, again! (With Pamyu again too!)

I made the Ninjari Bang Bang dress for the occasion too.

Shortly after Kyary, I went and saw the amazing Melanie Martinez! 

 

She was amazing.

Another cosplay I threw together last year was a Suicide Squad Harley Quinn! I bleached my hair the night before the shoot.. You know what they say about the crazy ones.

 

And lastly but certainly not least, I got to do a photo shoot with the super talented Neil Creek! We shot my handmade (and hand sewn) Elizabeth Comstock cosplay from Bioshock Infinite. It was a truly amazing experience..

So that's where I've been and what I've been up to for the last 2 years! Just some fun, busy stuff that I enjoyed a lot. I'll probably end up doing separate blog posts about some of the things from these past years in more detail, but for now, I hope you enjoyed reading about my adventures!

Photo of my kitten (Garfield) for added cuteness.
 

Soon, I'll post some reviews on some websites where I get some of my cutest stuff from! So look forward to that because it'll be full of info and totally honest so you can decide whether you wanna shop these stores too.

Thank you for reading,

until next time, take care!

I will have to travel from Melbourne to Sydney, but I don't care because Kyary is worth it~ ♡

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

 

I am having so much trouble deciding on what to wear.. I have too many options.. (︶ω︶)

I hope the new music video gives me the chance to make a completely new costume for the concert!

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Here's the vlog I did last night to show my excitement~ It took a lot for me to stop crying for 5 minutes and record this~ I giggled a lot though! ^^;

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆ 

 I hope all you Kyary fans out there get to see her in your countries too! I am so excited~ Even though it's a month and a half awei, I am nervous and worried! But more so, excited! Hehe~ (｡◕‿◕｡)

 I'll be sure to keep you all up to date on my progress on my next Kyary Pamyu Pamyu cosplay, and also various other Kyary related things leading up to her concert!

 I'm a little sad though because..

I'll have to leave Levi body pillow at home! (눈n눈)

But, I will be bringing Pamyu The Mameshiba (AKA: My waifu) with me! ☆彡

Little Sugar Girl (Storenvy) Review ♡

 ☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Hello everyone! ♪

Welcome to my first review post~ ｡◕‿◕｡

I will be reviewing an item I bought from the Storenvy shop, "Little Sugar Girl!" ♡

 

 ♡↗Click the logo to go-go!↖♡
 
☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

For a long time I've been looking for earrings like or exactly the same ones as Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's in PONPONPON and CANDY CANDY.. 

And a few weeks ago, I did! The earrings Kyary wears are by the Japanese brand "Spank!" But like everything else Kyary has, they'd be expensive. So, I tried my luck on Storenvy and succeeded! ＼(*T▽T*)／

I found these darling earrings in a store called Little Sugar Girl, and I decided to pick a pair and buy them straight away~  (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･✧*:･✧

The earrings themselves cost $5, and the shipping cost was $9. I paid for them on the 19th of September, and they were shipped on the 19th of September! ヽ(；▽；)ノ

On the 7th of October, they arrived~ ☆彡

They came wrapped in layers upon layers of bubble wrap, so that they were kept damage free while on their way. A handwritten note, business card and receipt were also sent along. (●´∀｀●)

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

✧･:*✧･:*Scores! *:･✧*:･✧

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Product:

❤  ❤  ❤  ❤  ❤ 

They're stunning, perfect and most importantly, KAWAII ♡

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Quality:

❤  ❤  ❤  ❤  ❤

The earrings look beautiful, and they're crafted carefully too. One of the earrings were a little misshapen, but the seller did mention they're individually made so they'll rarely be exact - I also think it could've happen while they were shipping.

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Shipping: (18 days)

❤  ❤  ❤  ❤  

It was pricey, so I thought it might've shipped a little quicker. It's not the seller's fault of coarse, so please don't let the slow-ish shipping hold you back from buying the earrings - they're really worth the wait~ 

 ☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

So overall, I'm very happy with the earrings! I will certainly be buying more! 

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

I hope you enjoyed my first review post! There will be lots more to come, I promise!

See you next time! （*＾ワ＾*）
