Hello Sweetie Babes! I'm Back ☆~!

Hello everyone! Hahaha have you missed me? I've really missed blogging! I've actually been back for a little more than a week now, but I spent a lot of time resting and then I'v mostly been hanging out with friends to make up for the month of missed summer time fun! I had an absolutely fantastic trip overseas and totally fell in love with traveling! I'm hoping to do a similar program next year even ;u;~! I don't really have a whole lot of interesting pictures to share (or rather, pictures where I don't look like a complete mess @A@) but I'll share a few of the nice ones~

Macarons~ I'm totally addicted to em *u*! I'm so sad I didn't get to try any in Paris, I took this is Italy when I had a Rose flavored one~

Mirror pictures are really my favorite hehe. Goin' up the Eiffel Tower!

at Versailles!! I'm so determined to go back and stroll through the gardens, since they were closed by the time we got there ;^;! Let me know if you would like for me to share more photos ;v;~

Since I've been back I've also been determined to get over the huge sewing block I've been going through and made myself a few things! I'm also going to be making new items and stock for my shop again since I've gotten over this strange anti-craft slump I've been going through u ~ u! I feel bad for neglecting that poor shop of mine for so long! haha!

I really wanted a scrunchy elastic belt so I made one ;u;! I will more than likely have some of these available in Millions of Bows Shop very very soon~~! I also finally made myself this bow! haha I'm planning on offering these too ;v;

I also~ have been dying to find a metallic silver leotard for uchuu kei purposes lately! So when i saw the fabric I needed I thought "oh hey why not" and spent a few hours and made myself one haha!

I probably won't wear it very often though, since it is a little bit extreme ;u;! I'm planning on dressing as my Uchuu Alien Babe for AWA though, so now all I need is a wig ;v;.

I'll be posting as often as I possibly can from now on so get ready for it okay guys! ;v;! It's still summer vacation so I have a lot of time to take on projects and make posts about em ;u;! Thanks for lookin'~

☆Silver Stars and Crop Tops☆

Hi everyone! This is just a pretty quick post of something I did yesterday~! A friend of mine came over, and while we were hanging out in my room suddenly I was struck with the urge to finally remake a too big T-shirt I got while thrifting into an uchuu kei style crop top! I had meant to do this for the longest time, but lately I've hardly been able to craft of sew anything for myself! It was nice to get the feeling of 'Warm up that sewing machine and get going' again, and I'll hopefully be more motivated to craft and sew more and more often from now on for both myself and my shop, since I've got a lot of materials piled up now~! 

Anyways~

That's what I made~! It was made for uchuu kei, which even though I have a master post coming up to explain more completely I'll explain a little bit here, which is a style that draws inspiration from the ideas of popkei and outer space alien cuties! Think stars, planets, metallic, neon, and anything a particularly stylish alien would wear! Since I've been dying to expand my collection of uchuu related goodies, I sketched this out somewhere (probably on school notes;;) and had wanted to do it for the longest time before I finally did it hahaha. Also, if you're wondering, the holographic stars are actually made from paper from a gift bag I had! It was more or less an experiment to see if it would look weird on clothes, but I like it and figure I can hand wash or not wear it enough to wash it anyways, so it's all good~!

And worn! haha, the full pictures I took didn't show anything very well at all so I took a close up this time ;v;

Thanks for looking everyone! See you again soon~ 

☆30 Day Fairy Kei Challenge! Days 14-18 & Art Post!☆

Hey, everyone! I'm sorry about the weird posting schedule lately! School and other things have been pretty intense lately, and I haven't had much time for blogging at all ;A;! I don't want to leave this blog totally bare, though, so have four more days of the 30 day fairy kei challenge!

☆ Day fourteen: Do you have any hobbies that you could consider Fairy-Kei’?

I suppose fair kei hobbies would include collecting old cute 80s things or crafting? If that's so then, sure! I'm not an avid collector, sadly, so even though I claim a lot of "collections" it's usually not more than five items per "collection" of mine hahaha. I collect Care Bears and Unicorns! I would love to start collecting 80s magical girl items as well~!

Care Bears, Unicorns, and other stuffed animals on my bed~

I also craft, draw, and sew and love diy in general, though I'm usually either too busy or lazy to do a lot of it haha!

☆ Day fiveteen: Something you or a friend made themselves

 

I didn't make this, My friend Jesse did, but it's so perfect and cute! I love it a lot, so I wanted to share it here! I haven't done a whole lot of crafting at all lately, aside from the objects in my shop, so I don't have much of anything new to share ;u;

☆ Day sixteen: How did you dress before Fairy-Kei?

I used to dress in lolita, and other than that usually circus-inspired style!  I mostly wore combos of Black, white and pink.

Lolita~!

I think this was the outfit I wore to see  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1! I could be wrong though hahaha.

This is a petty old circus-centric outfit! you can tell especially because my walls were still beige haha. It's from January 16th, 2010! I'm pretty sure this was an outfit for school, but I'm not sure haha.

☆ Day seventeen: Do you dress in also another style, e.g. Lolita.

Not so much anymore! I still like to look at lolita and see it on others, but It's not really a part of my fashion zone anymore, so I've decided to more or less stop wearing it all together. 

I do dress in uchuu kei whenever it suits me, though (And I swear I am working that blog post! It's just pretty hard to put together information and references for a style that doesn't really exist haha.)! My wardrobe for that is still super limited, and because of my schedule lately I haven't been able to make a whole lot of things to match the outer space aesthetic~

☆ Day eighteen: How do you dress when you go to school?

Most of my outfit shots that I have are probably from going to school! That's where I go the most often, and I don't see a big point in having a fairy kei wardrobe and a wardrobe of "school clothes", so I just wear fairy kei or uchuu kei or whatever! Check out my outfit shot tag if you'd like to see some school coordinates~ ;u;!

I also wanted to share with you a shop promo I did for my grand opening! I thought I already had shown it here, but since I haven't I will!

There are only four more days to take advantage of the free gift! I'll be adding more stock after that, so please check out Millions of Bows Shop!

Also, if you'd like to see the full sized art, you can see her over on my Deviantart~!

Thanks for looking☆!

Updates~ Outings and Outfits☆!

Hello Hello~! Sorry I broke my three day posting rule again haha! Schools been intensifying with midterms coming up, and school events I've been helping out with~! Nothing much has been going on outside of school (Except for a big! surprise I'm going to tell you all about shortly~), but a few weeks ago I did go out with my friends after school and took a few pictures, so I'll just share a little of that with you ;u;!

I don't think I took an outfit shot unfortunately, since on friday's I'm usually burnt out from the week and look like a mess hehehe. We went to an outdoor shopping area called the Avenue after school to browse and grab a treat! We went to get froyo and I completely drowned mine in mango poppers ahaha~

I could eat these yummies forever *v*

hehehehe we went to a toy store and my friend Alisha played with these animal dolls with interchangeable parts!  I wish we had bought it or something ahaha

Afterwards I think we went to hang out at my house, but I don't have any more pictures ;v;. I do have a LOT of outfits that have piled up from January and February though!

Doing rundowns for so many outfits is a lot of trouble, especially when a lot of them are with the same items, so if you're wondering about any outfit or anything I wore in it just go ahead and ask me in the comments ;u;!

I also was able to bring my table home last week! I'm so happy to have it in my room now ;v;. I took this when I was waiting to bring it home, sitting on it (even though its a table).



Thanks for looking☆!

☆ Lots and Lots of Thrifting ☆ Uchuu Kei and Care Bears~

Hi everyone! ;v;! I'm finally back in posting within three days! Well ,this week I went thrifting twice! I haven't been for the longest time, so I was super excited to go Wednesday afternoon, and then yesterday with friends we went by chance hahaha! Since I was meaning to buy lots of stuff to kick off my uchuu kei wardrobe ( I promise a big old post on this is coming soon!) , and also some things for spring I wasn't too concerned about being super cheap this time hahaha I think from both of the visits I spent close to $35 ;A;. That's not too bad considering how much new stuff I got, but it's painful to spend so much in a thrift store! haha At least my second visit was only $5 though! Anyways, Here are those pictures~ 

Here's most of the haul! Almost everything here is for uchuu kei hahaha ;u;. I'm planning on painting the barbie to look like an alien and then making her a pin ;v;!

These two things I couldn't take flat pictures of without the coloring being weird, so I just threw them on really quickly ;v;. The shawl was actually a blanket, but I made it into a shawl once I got home ;v;! I also got a new bed jacket!

And this super awesome windbreaker! I was so excited to find this I almost died ahaha. The only bittersweet part about it is that it was $10 with some really ugly pants, and since I don't wear pants anyways I decided to only get the jacket. When I explained to the store clerk she said it would still be $10 ;A;. 

It was such a good find though, so I don't mind it all that much! 

I also found some Melissa jelly shoes, but they were too small! So disappointing haha! I'm really happy with all that I got though :D! I can't wait to coordinate it all and reconstruct some stuff as well ;v;

I didn't get as much during the second thrifting trip, since I bought a bunch of clothes the day before, but here's that haul~!

I'm planning on making the lavender sheet into a cutsew or a summer dress or something like that ;v;! I actually bought two more stuffed animals, but one I can't find (I'm sure its here somewhere haha) and the other is a surprise gift so I can't show it!



And my friend Alisha's mom found this care bear blanket and surprised me by getting it for me! Shes just too sweet  ;A; I love it so much!



Now my bed space looks like this hehehe ~ ☆

Also, you would  help me out tremendously by voting for me in this facebook contest for Gothic Lolita Wigs! it only takes two seconds, so please please do!

Thanks for looking!

Updates! Lots of outfits and other goodies~☆

 

Hello everyone! I'm so sorry I disappeared like that ;A;! It was really hard to get back into the routine of going to school, and for about a week I was absolutely exhausted and feeling really down about it ;^;! I'm all better now though, and I feel bad for not at least posting a 30 day challenge update or something ;^;. I have been taking lots of outfit pictures this month so far though, so I'll share those with you! I'm going to skip out on rundowns for these though, since I've worn all of these before or mentioned them on this blog once or twice ;u;. If you want to know where anything is from, feel free to ask!

1-3-12

I think this was the first day back at schools outfit ;u;~

1-4-12

Right now, this is basically what I wear on school days when I don't feel like putting effort into getting dressed or If i'm doing something messy in crafts class

1-6-12

I worse this to school last Friday and then to get hot pot afterwards with friends ;u;! It was a lot of fun to hang out with them and be dressed up  after a long week of readjusting to school ;A;

1-7-12

This is the first Uchuu kei outfit that I put together ;u;! I've mentioned Uchuu kei before when I posted my drawing of an uchuu girl, but I'll make a post pretty soon to explain it a bit more ;u;

1-14-11

This is a really toned down uchuu kei outfit too, I was going to put together a super over the top outfit and and do crazy makeup, but my parents told me we had plans to go to dinner with my stepdads parents so I had to tone everything down haha. I did do my makeup for the first time in FOREVER though, so I'll share that too ;v;!

and just my eyes~

And I also haven't shared my nails for this month! I don't think I posted my December nails either, I swear I had a picture somewhere but I can't find it at all now! They were pretty similar to these though, but they had alternating red and green bows and some pearls on the white snowy tips ;v;

You can probably tell that the thumb and pinky nails are fake this time. those two nails ended up breaking really short, and I don't have the willpower to cut the rest of them, so I've been wearing fake nails on those two fingers since sometime in December I think haha.

I also finally bought one of those sailor moon t-shirts from Hot Topic! I'm trying to expand my magical girl clothing and accessories collection, so I'm so glad I finally got my hands on one~! I also bought one of those snap bracelet watches, it's all sparkly and a really nice shade of purple ;v;

And the other day, my fashion marketing teacher informed her classes that she has a button maker! She got it out for everyone to make one button, but then she left the classroom for a while and a bunch of us made two (shhh~! don't tell her haha)

Both of the ones I made are Creamy Mami! I wanted to make an I Spank! button for myself, but I wasn't up to searching through pages of google images with those keywords at school haha. She said it should be fine to make more sometime, so I'll be sure to have them ready.

Thats everything I've been up to recently ;u;! I will try my hardest not to abandon this blog for so long again ;A;! I also promise I haven't given up on opening my shop, I'm just trying to make a few more items before I open it ;u;!

Thanks for looking!
