Hotel Lolita Tea Party & Convention Center - part three: my haul

Continuing with Hotel Lolita convention: my personal purchases! <3

In retrospective I should have bought even more. But I'm happy with what I have, hahaha.

BTW, this is going to be a programmed post, because today is my birthday and I'm probably going to be away from the computer! ... okay, probably not, but I'll be busy. Please send me some birthday love here!

Continuando con la convención Hotel Lolita: mis compras personales! <3

En retrospección debería haber comprado más cosas. Pero soy feliz con lo que tengo, hehehe.

Por cierto, este post va a estar programado, porque hoy es mi cumpleaños y deberé estar lejos de la computadora! ... bueno, no creo, pero seguramente estaré ocupada. Porfi mandenme amor cumpleañero por acá!

The first purchase I'm going to show you was actually my last, time-wise, lol. It's a handmade, original design necklace by Chaton Noir. The owner of the brand is such a sweetheart!

I had been eyeing the necklace all con and finally decided to buy it near the end. 10/10 design, zero regrets.

La primera compra que les voy a mostrar fue en realidad la última en cuestión de orden, lol. Es un collar hecho a mano, diseño original de Chaton Noir. La dueña de la marca es una divina!

Estuve con la idea fija de comprarme este collar toda la convención y al final de todo, antes de irme, lo compré. El diseño es un 10, ningún arrepentimiento! Jaja

The pink glitter acrylic is gorgeous and so sparkly. I also love the heart-laced mirror next to the lobster clasp, showing the brand. Such an amazing level of detail! El acrílico rosa de glitter es tan hermoso y brilloso. También amo el espejo con borde delicado de encaje de corazones al lado del gancho, mostrando el nombre de la marca. Que nivel increíble de detalle!

I need to coordinate my Vanilla-chan skirt into a "Crazy Cat Lady" outfit. I'm going to use all the cat-related accessories I own mwahahaha. Necesito coordinar mi falda de Vanilla-chan en un conjunto que diga "Loca de los Gatos". Voy a usar todos los accesorios con mínima relación gatuna que tengo mwahahaha.

These next two rings were bought from Rainbow Valley Shop, which is owned by a girl who came all the way from Rosario to visit us in Buenos Aires! Her name is Ariadna and they were handmade by her. So cute!! Los dos anillos que siguen los compré en Rainbow Valley Shop, que es la marca de una chica que vino desde Rosario a visitarnos en Buenos Aires! Su nombre es Ariadna y estos accesorios fueron hechos a mano por ella. Muy bellos!!

I had been in need of a black blouse and Alice's Delusions was selling just the thing! Check out this wonderful organza blouse! Había estado necesitando una camisa negra y Alice's Delusions vendía algo que me vino justo! Miren lo que es esta maravillosa blusa de organza!

And last but not least, a cute notebook printed by Vanilla Studio! I loved the strawberry shortcake motif. Y por último en orden pero no en importancia, un lindo cuadernito impreso por Vanilla Studio! Adoré el print de torta de frutilla.

And that's it! The only thing missing is my coordinate and all the professional photos! So please stay tuned for that post!

Y eso es todo! Lo único que falta ahora es que les muestre mi coordinado y todas las fotos profesionales que me sacaron! Así que por favor, manténganse al tanto del próximo post!

Finding KAWAII everywhere

Usually when on vacation I don't particularly feel like wearing too much make-up, or cute clothes. It's those times when this blog suffers the most, as I find myself struggling with the quest of actually finding kawaii things to blog about.

So, as a challenge, I've tried to take pictures of anything remotely kawaii during my USA vacation. Here are the results.

Handmade Duffy Bear for signing @ Epcot. This one was actually called "kawaii",

so I guess it has the Proof of Kawaii Seal.

Flowers are kawaii?? Well, why not.

Silly selfies

My never-ending collection of pink stuff: some accessories, my iPhone 5, and

then the newest member: a Fujifilm Instax Mini 8!!

Instant pics with my new camera.

Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine, right? Well, actually, Peter was incredibly rude to Wendy in the movie, but I guess the face characters are really cute!

Mad Hatter mocha cupcake at Fantasyland, Magic Kingdom.

Lace and fabric! Bought at Jo-Ann's.

Charm on an adorable notebook from Claire's. Didn't buy, but kawaii nonetheless.

My Melody aisle at Orlando Int'l Airport's Sanrio. This one already has like 800 notes on Tumblr. But I still have less than 400 followers. I've no idea why.

I'll try to keep seeing the かわいい in all things.

Late Summer Gyaru Fashion Trends

We're currently transitioning into fall (well, at least most of you Northern-hemisphere people are *shifty eyes*) and I've been reading too many gyaru magazines / stalking too many online shops lately. In the up-and-coming clothes you can already see the new trends surfacing!

I've made some imageboards out of the latest fashions I found in the Shibuya 109 online shop, and that I also saw in many August gyaru magazines such as Popteen and Happie Nuts.

New trends

Light-washed denim paired with white and minimal black details seems to be a big trend this late summer. Distressed and baggy jeans are popular, but I've noticed them in mostly light blue to light grey hues! (this whole imageboard looks like the colors of my country's flag *wipes off patriotic tear*)

Monotone black and white and big houndstooth patterns will transition really well into the fall, I think. Huge stripes are in, too! I specially love the transparent skirt by MA*RS. By having a clear fabric over a solid skirt you can manage to go a little shorter, hahaha （ゝ。∂）

As for accessories, chokers are EVERYWHERE!! They look adorable and definitely tie in well with both the clothing trends I described above. I guess I need to dig out my old chokers from my pre-teen gothic phase... did I say that out loud?

Going-going-gone Trends

It really seems as though jelly-like vinyl plastic is more of a summer thing, and I agree. I consistently see this trend going out when we finally enter fall and colder weathers, but I have to say it's one of my favorite fads. I love love love the look of the transparent plastic material and bright colors! While these are still on sale on the Shibuya 109, they will probably clearance their way out when summer ends.

Do you enjoy this kind of fashion report? Would you like to see more of these in the future?

Send me your love in the comments! I reply and if we have things in common, I'll follow back!

Crazy iPhone Case Lady

Ever since buying an iPhone 4 last year's October I've been crazy about iPhone cases.

Before that I was stuck with a iPhone 3 which had NO cute cases for it whatsoever *weeps*

But right now...  I am queen of cellphones! *_*

So as I turn into the Crazy iPhone Case Lady (Patent Pending), I wanted to show you my collection of cases.

Lace Hello Kitty case from Sanrio Vivitix. It was an unexpected gift from a friend - thank you so much! (^_^) I think it's one of the cutest I own! It's so awesome and delicate. My iPhone is currently wearing it, hence the picture.

Cheap-o cases from SWIMMER. I love SWIMMER, I really do. The pink one isn't really that intense, it's just the light in the picture.

And now, the collection of Juicy Couture Jellies! :D

First jelly: blue/turquoise. Actually more turquoise in real life. How cute is the terrier charm that came with it?

Second jelly: purple.

Third jelly: pink. Plus a Mickey Mouse ice-cream charm because I've no idea where the terrier is.

Adorable Tokyo Disneyland Sweet Love 2012 case. It was St. Valentine's themed - of course I had to get it.

Super mega SHINY Juicy Couture Jelly case. This shines like a thousand suns, I dunno, it's amazing. The crown charm is a nice touch.

If I keep buying these things, I think my iPhone will explode from identity confusion wtf.

But I can't stop!

What are your favorite ways to decorate your phone?
