First of all, I just wanna say WOW! Thank you all for following me!
I am so excited about having 100 readers now ^^!
Today, me and my mom went shopping! :)
It is a reeeeally long time since we have just gone shopping for pleasure, so we both made sure to enjoy ourselfs properly.
We did have one objective, but otherwise we just looked around and tried on things.
To tell you the truth, it has been SO long since I have been in real shops getting new clothes that I almost forgot how convenient and easy it is over online shopping XD haha
I wanted to dress up a little bit also, since it has been a while, so I did a simple punk-inspired lolita outfit with a classical/sweet twist ;-----)

Skirt: Angelic Pretty
Shirt: Bodyline

Tights: amazon
Shoes: an*tai*na
Accesories: glitter, vintage, amusement park, H&M
I crimped my hair today! ^0^
I didn´t find to much that I wanted, but I wound up with a couple of cute things :D
Pretty happy with my finds anyway ^^
Love this new ring! :D I can´t believe I found something so "japanese" in a regular store XD haha
Also got a new sweatshirt! :D It was really cheap also! ^^
Gosh, I seem like such a hipster now XD haha... well well, I really like my new things, and can´t wait to cordinate them :) The ring goes with everything! I got a new liquid eyeliner as well, but thats not really important :P
Do you prefer online shopping or real-life shopping?
Finally it is friday again! :) Yet another stressfull week has passed, and I am more than ready to tuck a thick carpet around me and switch on a cosy movie as the rain is pouring outside my window.
What do you do on fridays really? Usually I keep my fridays off, with nothing to do, so that I can just relax and enjoy myself! I therefore thought that I might make a little update ^^
If you are like me, then having something fun to do might be just the right thing!
I decided to share five september things that are currently inspiering me/ things I currently want.
Everyone needs some creative input at times, so I hope you enjoy my little list ;---)
6 September things!
1. Spiked headbands:
I really need some spiked headbands to make the last finish to my outfits! They are so versatile and lovely! I love that they can make any outfit more edgy ;-)
2. Fake eyelashes:
this is something totally new that I have never tried before. I have ordered diamond lash - lashes, and I am excited to try out more doll-ish makeup!
3.Skeleton tights:
absolute must now that halloween is approaching.
I really want some skin coloured ones!
4.KERA October 2012 issue:
I have seen some scans from this, and I just LOVE everything about it! Must obtain for all the cool halloween themed things <3
5. Mint coloured accesories:
my obsession with Kurebayashi is still strong, and she makes me want mint coloured things for some reason x) But! My newest dress that is arriving soon is also in mint, so I really wanna stack up on things to go with it :D
6. Bob wigs:
I am in love with the simple adorable hairstyle that is the bob. So cute and simple, yet adds a really classical and chic look to any outfit! Toned down for autumn, definitely on my wishlist.
In other news, I bleached my hair once again! ^0^ I took my roots, and the whole hair, to get it as close to white as possible.
I am maybe doing a mini-colouration to get some of the "yellow-shine" out of it soon.
What do you think?^^
Now it is almost white! The shadow makes it look kinda dark on the left side here...
I am very surprised and happy to announce that I was picked for
the liebester blog award once again! ^^ The first time was around, I was really surprised, but THIS time... wow... I am speachless! I feel very honoured^^

5. No tag backs!
1:Which of your features are you most proud of? (ex: hair, eyes etc)
I like that my legs are long ^^ And I like that my nose is completely straight, like... normally everyone has something that is a little bit crocked about their nose, but mine is really straight... its kinda weird acctually xD
2: What style would you love to wear but never thought you could pull off?
I am not really sure... maybe mori girl... I really want to try it out, but I am unsure if I would be able to get enough layers and stuff...I really don´t know, because I think I could pull it off to some exdend... I AM going to wear it sometime! ^^
Also, I think boat-necklines are really pretty, but I can´t wear those because my shoulders are quite wide allready....
It might sound like I am super full of myself, but right now, I can´t think of any...
oh! maybe cosplay! Yeah, I don´t think I could pull of cosplaying... I would just look tacky and weird in that >_> I would really love to try it out some day, because I think it looks really awsome when its done well, but I am afraid it will suck if I try...
3: Why did you start blogging and what motivates you to continue posting?
I think I started blogging because I thought it seemed like a lot of fun! ^^ For many years now, I have been reading blogs like Lolita Charm (now Pairfait Doll),Zerudaswonderland, andFyeahlolita (amongst many others). I always felt so inspired by all their wonderful lifestyle articles, cute little everyday tips, and new twists of doing things, and they always managed to fill me with creativity! >v<
I first thought that no one would be interested in little me, but then I found tumblr, got more and more into fashion, and somehow got more and more followers, and after a while...
many people acctually told me that they would enjoy reading about my life/style more, so then I decided to start writing a real blog on my own! :)
I want to use this blog to spread inspiration and tips, and make people want to do creative things also! ^^ I really hope that my blog will be able to reach someone, and make them get up and do something totally new, or try out a new style or find a new webshop they really like :D
I wish to express myself through fashion, style tips, and fun things that I like! ^^
I am motivated to continue because of all of this, and because of wonderful readers <3
4: If you could have any super powers, what would you want?
Maybe being able to make money appear from thin air! *v* then I could buy anything I wanted without having to save up for it for many months >v< hohoho!
5: What makeup product can you not live without?
My Skin 79 BB - cream! ^^ It is really great :D After I started wearing it, I love how my makeup looks on my skin! ^^
6: Your biggest fear?
loosing myself... meaning in many different ways...
7: Best way to kill time when you´re by yourself, waiting for someone/something?
watch a movie, surf on the internet, tumblr >w<, look up new exciting webpages, reading a book, gaming, doodling ? ^^
8: Where do want to be in life in 10 years?
living and working in Japan! ^^ Doing something creative and fun :D
9: One item, in your opinion, that could completely ruin a perfectly good outfit? (ex: belts, scarfs etc)
Scarfs can acctually cover up outfits very much, and sometimes they don´t look that good....
I guess wearing vastly different fabrics can be very wrong aswell...
Oh, acctually, makeup and hairstyle! Even if you wear amazing brand clothes, if your hair/makeup isn´t done properly, your outfit might end up looking really bad.
The right pair of shoes/feet wear is important also! Old sneakers is just wrong with a pretty outfit!
10: Whats your favourite makeup remover?
I usually use Simple - kind to skin cleansing facial wipes ^^ I think those work very well,
and they are easy on your skin! :)
11: Do you have any secret talents? If not, any you wish you had?
Secret? I have some weird ones, but they are not really secret XD haha...
I can spot where I have seen an actor/what movie they have starred in before, when I see an actor in a movie or a show, almost instantly! ^^"
Thank you very much again! ^^ It was fun writing the answer to this :) about the rest of the rules, I won´t tag others, mostly because I have allready tagged most blogs that I know of that has less than 200 followers, and I feel like I am bothering people >.< I hope you understand!
I also wanted to add that I was so happy when I got a message that this lovely girl
wrote about me in her blog! oAo
(click through ^^)
Really, this means SO much to me, you have no idea... this is like a dream come true! I am able to inspire people, and it makes me so happy ;_; *sobs*
Thank you very much! I don´t know what to say really! I just feel really happy and...
like I don´t deserve this at all >.<
You are all wonderful readers, you make me feel like I am shining! ^-^ I feel really warm at heart, and a bit flustered, like I really don´t know what to do with myself >.<
Today, I thought I´d share some info about them, since I just recently ordered their CD and some autographed pictures! :)
Pinku Project started on Youtube, when a girl called Robin Joobin started uploading dance videos on her account. She got many viewers, and after a while, she started dancing with her friends also! ^^ They wore super cute lolita outfits, and did the most adorable jpop dance covers! And suddenly, pinku project was born ^0^
(playing of the name "hello project" which is a famous japanese idol group ;-) )
The first generation of Pinku Project started about three years ago, Robin and her friend Leah has been in it ever since then, but the two others decided to focus on school after a while.
After that, it became more apperant what kind of nicknames they made for eachother! Robin became Peach Pinku, and Leah became Baby Pinku ^^ They were accompanied by Candy and Cherry Pinku in the second generation of Pinku Project! I loved Baby and Candy sooo much <333
Peach is a blooming fashion designer on the side of being in Pinku Project, and she started making their outfits to make a more distinct look for them when they danced! :D Around this time, she also started an Etsy shop with her own brand called
In the beginning, she sold only smaller items such as accesories, but in the more recent times, she has begun selling clothing also! Many of these can be seen worn by the Pinku Project girls in their videos, so for anyone being a fan out there, I really reccomend you to look at it! You can get really unique handmade items, and even though I don´t own anything from the brand myself, I can easily tell that Peach has become an amazing seamstress over the years :) I plan on getting things from them as soon as I get some money to spare ^^
First Pinku Project Mini concert!
Part 1
Part 2
This is the first proper concert they ever held! I love Peach and Babys dresses the most! I really wish Peach would make those dresses for sale >w< I love the design so much! The dresses worn by Cherry and Candy however, is available in the PinklyEverAfter etsy shop :D
This concert is where it was announced that Candy and Cherry was going to graduate. Baby and Peach was once again alone :(
So this time, quite some time went by with only Peach and Baby sticking together, making videos as the kawaii "Sugary Fairy" duo!
I had begun being a fan of Pinku Project properly after the second generation started, so I was quite devestated when they split up, you might imagine >.< I dreamed about attending one of their concerts one day * v*
BUT, datta-da-daaa!
They gather together once again for a new generation! Generation three :D!
Cotton Pinku and Berry Pinku joined the fun, and they are the ones that is by definiton,
todays Pinku Project^^
As you can see in this video, they were quite new together, and still hadn´t settled their catchphrases properly >v< I love their outfits so much! <333 (these are not made by Peach!)
THIS generation is the one that has made the most impact on me, and that has made me the crazy Pinku Project Otaku that I am today >0< ♥ ♥ ♥
They uploaded video after video of super duper cute dance covers, and they also started to focus on each Pinkus character traits! Baby, which became my favourite, was the lovely type, Peach was the happy type, Berry was the healing type, and Cotton was the nyan type! :D
(Don´t get me wrong, all of the Pinkus makes my heart go doki doki, but Baby was my first favourite, so she will always make me feel extra fuzzy and happy >w< These days, I feel like I love all Pinku Project members very, very much!♥)
They held several concerts together, and they started a close collaboration with
She became a model for PinklyEverAfter clothing, and she also helped them in their biggest project ever done! Their original produced CD and DVD! *0* I remeber so well when they launched this idea, I almost freaked out!!! I just jumped around shouting with joy, and I felt so happy and proud on their behalf. They are so strong and wonderful to work so hard and follow their dreams, and I really, really feel like they are true idols when they are even able to make a proper CD! *0*
It is so amazing, they made a totally original dance and the cutest lyrics you could ever find <3
Offcourse I had to preorder the limited edition DVD/cd set right away x3 hihi
It contains their amazing PV Magical Journey, sung by Baby Pinku and Yukapon, and also their song about their Pinku Project, called "Pinku Invasion" (just like the title of the CD itself! ^^)
Originally, this PV was only meant for their Pinku Otakus, ordering the DVD, but as it was announced that Pinku Project was ending, once and for all with a final graduation of all members, it was put online. ( I am very happy to own the DVD being able to watch it on my tv - screen! thihi >w<)
I am really sad about Pinku Project graduating... even before I was able to see them preform live! It has been a dream of mine for so long, so it acctually made me cry ;_;
I understand it though, they are all growing up, and they need to focus on their studies, work hard and really follow their own message that they have spread out there through all their years as idols^^.
I have the utmost respect for them, and I am so happy that they will continue to be online seperatly, spreading their interests and love for kawaii things and dancing. Peach will keep up her store, Cotton and Berry will dance, and I am not sure what Baby is up to, but she has claimed to come back also!
(btw, Berry has become my Pen-pal :D!)
They will continue Pinku Project until the end of this year, but then it will be over... this means that they are still having a couple of events for fans to attend! ^0^ If you live in Toronto,
please look them up! :D
I decided to get more Pinku Project merch, while I still could, since they have been such huge inspirations to me, and brought me so much joy ;_;
When I made the order, I sendt a little message to them about how much they mean to me, that I was sad they were splitting up, and that was why I decided to make another order to get more of their things! ^^ Peach was the sweetest person ever and wrote me a super cute message where she said that she offcourse remebered me, and that they would name a seat after me on their final concert ; A; whaaah TT ^TT They are so amazing <3333
I only owned the DVD/cd limited edition set, but I really wanted to own the CD also, so I got one more x3 I also ordered one of every single picture they had for sale! :D
Look at the cute visit cards and the HUUGE PinklyEverAfter sticker! ;_;
(Probably putting that on my wall of kawaii = v =)
They sendt me an extra CD for free ;A; And Peach Pinku wrote inside of it...
" Dear Josephine♥ Love and peach, we love you! Please remeber us"
Please don´t worry, precious, precious Peach <3 I will NEVER EVER forget Pinku Project, and the huge impact it has had in my life... I have never been a bigger fan of any group before, and I will always remeber you guys! <3 You guys have made me hold on when I have felt like just giving up with my disease. When I have been so sick that I had to stay at the hospital, I always smiled when I watched your videos, and you made me feel strong, like I could do anything ^^ I wish I could meet you guys in person, because you are so important to me ♥
I hope that I can one day hug each and every one of you, and tell you how amazing you are!
(even though this is a bigger text, I will probably
write more about Pinku Project/PinklyEverAfter
later on
also >v<)
So to sum up this wall of text, all I really want to say is Thank you... thank you ever so much for all the fuzzy feelings, the smiles, the giggles, the warmth and friendship you have shown me! The inspirational happyness you have brought me, and the fact that you are always there to make us smile and be happy. I really don´t know how to explain it better, there is SO much more I feel like I should have said, but I really don´t know how to make you understand just how important and deep this subject is to me ;_; *sobs* I just want you to be aware of that...
Now, I have been alone for two weeks, and I feel pretty ready to finally get my parents home tomorrow! :) I know for a fact that I am getting a little something - something also, so I am pretty excited >v< hihihi
Today, I vacuumed the entire house, cleaned the hens house, gave them new food, watered all the flowers in the house and went out with the trash! :D So now the house is clean and fresh for their return <3 I am also planning on making a special dinner tomorrow, so that they have something good to eat when they come home! ^^
Otherwise today, I have no plans at all, just relaxing and regain some energy for next week. I had a mathmatics test yesterday, and we also had P.E, so I felt quite exhausted after that!
I decided to finally dress up again in some of the new taobao stuff ^^ I have only worn clothes for comfort this week, because it has been really cold outside, so mostly... the weekends are the only times I wear fun clothes >A<...
My hair is just a messy side - bun and I didn´t use makeup because I am lazy on Saturdays xD
I need a spiked headband now...
☆Laces of Candy☆

details :3

Veeery simple outfit, but I have been planning it for ages now, so I finally thought I should go through with it ^^ I even bought the suspenders only for this outfit because I thought there was something missing XD haha
Now, I have to tell you something really, really fun, fun FUUUUN :D!!!
Yesterday, I found one of my absolute favourite dream dresses EVER on an auction site ;A;
It felt far to good to be true, and I felt super duper excited and nervous about it, because I could acctually afford it and everything 0o0! After some thinking, I decided to get it >w< Even though it is sold without the headband, It acctually comes with socks and a bag. Since I don´t have anything to wear with it, I also decided to get a cute cutsew directly from Angelic Pretty also!
AND not only that, but I am also currently bidding on a cute blouse that I really hope I will win >v< I am really nervous about it! I never do auctions normally, because it makes me super duper nervous, and unable to concentrate on other things :P
It feels so lovely to finally get lolita things again *v*
