I have been obsessed with morbid stuff lately also,
so I recently got this gorgeous necklace!

if you lost your real teeth! ^^

Are you inspired by halloween
in your daily outfits recently?

teddybears galore + recent japan haul

Hello, my dear lovely followers

Today I am back with more lolita-goodness for you all :D

I mentioned quickly a while ago that I was getting some new lolita things, 

and amongst them, one of my absolute favourite dream dresses! ^^

I feel so incredibly lucky to be the happy owner of my two favourite prints

 in my dream-dress list >w<

When I found it second hand, I became so happy that I just had to get it! This is the kind of dress that you don´t find very often for sale! Especially in the correct colourway >.<

Since I am terrible at buying basics, and things I need to cordinate my outfits, I decided to find a blouse to go with it :) I only have one pink blouse, and that one is a kind of "classical pink", since it is from Baby, the star shines bright, so I wanted to get another one with a "fresher" colour ! :D

After looking around for a while, I figured that they didn´t really have blouses in a desireable cut in-store (Angelic Pretty) right then, so I looked for second hand blouses, and ended up deciding on a black one! I don´t have ANYTHING that even looks like a blouse in black,

 so I figured it was a good idea (also, it was half the price of a new blouse). 

Still, I wanted something that I could wear with my new dress, since black certainly wouldn´t match, and therefore I decided to get a nice turtleneck cutsew from Angelic Pretty :D

So, in the end, I got two new tops to wear with lolita for the price of one new blouse!

 What a bargain! ^^

I ordered through Japonica Marked again, and I must say, they never stop amazing me! It was shipped on Monday, and arrived on Friday!

 Turtleneck (Angelic Pretty), Black blouse with pearl details (Angelic Pretty)

I was so amazed when I got the blouse out of the box, since it is in absolute PERFECT condition! You can´t even tell that it has been worn, and I got it half price!

The turtleneck has such a beautiful colour, and the lace details are just darling :) Fits with everything, and it´s warm and cosy for autumn and winter <3

And now... what you have all been waiting for to know... 

WHAT dress did Josephine get?

well...

DA-TA-DA-DAAAAAA

 little bears café (Angelic Pretty)

IT´S FREAKING LITTLE BEARS CAFE IN MINT ;A; 

with MATCHING socks!

I have wanted this dress ever since it came out! And I have never found it second hand in mint, since it´s one of the most popular colourways ;A; 

But now... now I have it TT_TT And I am so happy that I could cry! It is like a dream came true!

and I certainly go IIIIIIIIIIH just looking at it XD

Look at this beauty!

Recently, I also ordered some false lashes, because I have been dying to try out the look x3 hihi

I can´t use them yet though, since I am still waiting for the eyelash-glue to arrive ;------)

Glamour eye diamond lash lashes, princess eye diamond lash lashes

I got the "glamour" diamond lash lashes, and the "princess" diamond lash lower lashes :)
 They look so stunning irl! I can´t wait to try them :D
  (I got these from Ebay, but it was only a few days before the big package, so I added them here ;-) )

And here is everything I got! :D

What a lot! ^0^ I am so happy I got the matching socks for free ^^ I only wish I had the headbow also >.<

The book in the picture is my first ever, brand new moleskine that arrived on Friday also! :D

As an artist, you have to have the right aquiptment, right? ;----)
 Moleskines are the best sketch/drawing books you can find! ^^

I tried it out yesterday also! This is my very first sketch/doodle in it :)

Kinda like it!

the text says "kami-sama... stay with me", though I suck at writing japanese, so it

 might say something else XD haha

I was to tired to dress up yesterday, but made my plans ready for today, and decided to do a cute 

coord with my new things >w< I love getting new lolita things! <3 I can do SO much more with my outfits, even with just the few things I got now! ^^

Since I didn´t get the headbow with the dress, I had to make-do with a chocomint bow,

 and some home made things :-P

I really like my outfit though! ^^ I think I am getting good at cordination <3

Cute Can Kill, HolleyTeaTime

 ☆

I freaking LOVE this print so much!!! >w<

Had to get my teddybear offcourse >w< I have had him since I was born! :)

His name is "Brun bamse", which would translate as "Brown bear".... yes, I was very imaginative XD

I love how my Holleyteatime ring perfectly matches the colour of the dress ^^

Twin-bun hairstyle to go with the "bear" theme of this print ^^ Look at my crappy home-knitted bow XD

Some more details of my outfit^^ This is my adorable CuteCanKill ring! ^^

I don´t think I will ever be able to grow up = V= <33

Lolita forevaaaaah * v* Who is with me??? >w<

So yeah... sorry for the picture spam XD haha... 

I am just so super duper happy with all my new stuff <3 ; v;

What is your favourite print,
 and do you own it?

Until next time, keep lolita-ing it up everyone! ^3^

Rainbowholic shopping service review + pastelly goodies

One of my absolute favourite kawaii bloggers, the lovely Kaila of "Rainbowholic"

 (if you haven´t heard about it, you should totally check it out!)

has recently opened up a shopping service that allows people to order things from japan through her! ^^ She can take orders from both in - store and online! 

Another one of my absolute favourite bloggers (even though I can´t read japanese yet) is the well-known harajuku fashion idol Kurebayashi! <33 I look to her blog for inspiration and for fun pictures of her outfits, cute hairstyles, adorable face and fantastic art!

Did you know that she is not only a great fashionista, but also a creator of her own accesories that she has recently started selling?

One day after looking through her updates, I found that she was talking about some cute hairbands that she has been seen wearing a lot lately, that an artist called Miyamo has created.
Kurebayashi has spread the word and popularity of her items around so much that hey have almost become a trade mark for her! So when I found out were to purchase these items, I was really overjoyed! :D

SOL - love & BeBeSol

(click to go there :D)

is a vintage and handmade boutique that is located a couple of side streets from Laforet Harajuku, and there you can find all sorts of things suited for mori girl, cult party kei, decora, fairy kei and all kinds of awsome japanese harajuku styles. Many artists sell their things there, and you can find tons of one of a kind vintage things! So if you are interested, I really suggest you give it a look! 

I have wanted to buy some smaller things worn by Kurebayashi, and since I didn´t want to order through one of the big shopping services, I decided to check out how Kaila worked hers! :) 

(Acctually, I have just waited for a reason to do so >v<)

Service 5/5

When I first made my order, I got an email straight away, confirming my order, and that she would get back to me as soon as possible. She also kept me updated with frequent emails throughout the whole process, with personal little touches like "Josephine - san" >w< hihi

She also confirmed everything with me when there was a little mistake in the order (because the colour I wanted was sold out), but I decided to say it was ok with me to take another one :)

She even sendt me an email to apoligize for the order being slow arriving at her house! So I would say it was top score on the service part ^^

Shipping and handling 5/5

Her listed prices are a bit expensive, but I really think it´s totally worth it! After all, 

she is a regular human being that needs money just like everyone else :) I am going to explain this bit a little bit further down ;-)When she emailed me, she made sure to send pictures of the items when they arrived, and when they were ready to get shipped also!

 That was a really great touch that made it feel a lot more personal and secure! 

I made the order on the 19th of August and (due to the shop I ordered from being slow) it was shipped on the 2nd of September.  It arrived yesterday after 11 days! ^^ I didn´t get any kind of extra fees, and also saw that she had put a cute little bit of rainbow coloured tape on the outside to mark that it was from her! <333

There was even more rainbow tape inside! AND pink bubblewrap *w*

Package 100000000/5

I was super duper excited about getting my package finally, but I wondered how it could possibly be as big as it appeared to be, since I had only ordered a few things.

You see, Kaila has this special service that is an extra to her shopping service! She has a policy that is to not only bring her customer their orders, but also bring them a bit of japan as well! ^^

I thought, that since she also has her own shop , this extra detail only applied to THAT, but as I was to discover, it acctually applied to her shopping service as well! And oh boy was I surprised! O.O

She sendt me the cutest little personal note, with two buttons! :D I am gonna wear these SO often!

These awsome hairbands/bracelets was my actual orders, and this was how they looked when I first opened the package :) 

But acctually, I got all of those freebies as well! oAo Japanese candy!!!

Cute chocolate cookies, something that seemed to be an icecream cone with pink chocolate instead of icecream (I ate it allready, it was delicious x3), and ... OMG... GREEN KITKAT! I have always dreamed about eating those! :D

Not only that... but the people from SOL-love & BeBeSol sendt me candy also!

... And to think I acctually only ordered three of these things, and ended up getting ALL OF THIS! (put the bags in the picture also, because they looked to cute >w<)

So to sum it up, Kaila gets ALL the points 8-D!!! 

Seriously, if you are considering ordering through her shopping service, don´t even wonder another second. Kaila offers great service and AMAZING extra gifts that makes you feel so special and fantastic! Her extra fees for doing the job might be a bit higher than big - company shopping services, but the personal touch she puts into her packages really makes up for it, and it makes the whole experience so much more special.

If you want to check out her offers and policy on her shopping service

LOOK AT IT HERE

Today, I wore my new things in a kawaii Kurebayashi inspired outfit! ^^

This picture will also be a little preview to my upcoming "Kurebayashi - get the look" post that is coming very soon ;-)

(I got a wonderful girl in my class to take some pictures for me >v<)

I hope you guys enjoyed this review, and that you pay Kailas blog a visit ^^ You will not regret it if you love kawaii things, like I do ^0^ <3<3<3

A little side note to this, is that I got my adorable new things that I recently ordered from
 Cute Can Kill

She recently updated her site with her new collection! You should totally check it out! ^-^
She was even sweet enough to put in a free bat ring, and a heartshaped keychain ;A;
And will you just look at that adorable handwritten letter <3333

LILA! YOU ARE TO NICE TO ME <33333 *cries*

Thank you VERY much for reading this far! ^v^
I am hope you continue reading on, because it is just getting good :D
