VLOG ~ Afternoon tea

I decided to make my VLOG on a local lolita meet that I had arranged ♡
We went to Molly's Tea Room in Hitchin, Hertfordshire (UK) it was so cute,
with a shabby chic/vintage décor and table wear XD

 I wish I took more footage of everyone else, rather than me talking (⊙_◎)
but we were busy talking/eating ^-^

Toric Circle Lense Review

I finally got some circle lenses wooo! I've brought some before over 2 years ago, back then I couldn't get hold of
any in my prescription ;__; but this year I found out where you could get some (after giving up hope >.<) I have
an astigmatism so I need to wear toric lenses, so I hope this review is helpful if you need to wear
toric lenses too (*・∀・*)

Hyper Japan

Most of you probably already know that I own an etsy shop Sugar Coated Sprinkles :3 Well this July was my first time exhibiting ever! Obviously I had to pick Hyper Japan to have my first stall ^.^ If you're not aware of what Hyper Japan is, basically its the biggest Japanese convention on the UK, held over three days in London, this time in Earls court! There's everything there including food, drink, games, fashion etc. 

I had such a good weekend, some of my highlights were~ meeting the lovely Alexa Poletti (model inspiration) and Pixe Late, they were such babes! They loved my sleeve (a lot of people did to be fair), Alexa even took pictures of it :3 I sold some of my lolita clothing at the Tea Party club bring and buy sale and used all that money to buy new stuff aha :') I had so so many photos taken of me, I even got approached by three different official Hyper Japan photographers! I also got interviewed for a TV show, I'm not sure how what's gunna turn out aha, I'm a little awkward at times ;__; and not to forgot meeting some lovely people and seeing happy customers! That's such a nice feeling when you hand make items! 

This is me on the Saturday with my stall ^-^

Baby metal

I went to go see Babymetal in London and I also met up with a few girls into J-fashions before hand :) We went YO!sushi for lunch, one of the workers made us all origami butterflies from Hyper Japan flyers, really sweet and a little ironic aha :') Then we walked around Camden, did some shopping and tried some nitrogen ice cream, it was so nice, really rich so a little went a long way!

My outfit :3

Wig - Taobao

Crop top - Topshop

Necklace - Sugar Coated Sprinkles

Skirt - Taobao

Bag - Taobao

Garter - Creepyyeha

Now for a few pictures of the gig ^-^ 

Babymetal where amazing, even thought the venue was so warm! omg and luckily I was out of the way of all the mosh pits etc ^-^

Kyary 2014!

I went to see the lovely Kyary Pamyu Pamyu back in April in London ♡ Before the gig I went to my first ever J fashion meet, we went to Westfield shopping center and had some food. The plan was to go to China town, but the tubes where on strike ;__: Still I had such a good time meeting everyone, so glad I plucked up the courage to travel to London on my own and go to a meet finally!

The staff from Lush asked us to come in the shop ^-^

I got a picture with Kyary's mascot!

More pictures! :)

Milklim order/Tenso SS review

Tenso is a different sort of shopping service, instead of asking the company to buy or bid on things for you, from countries that don't ship to yours, then have them posted to their company and then shipped to you, Tenso allows you to buy things online yourself. You just get items you buy sent to an address they give to you, so your items you have already paid for get sent to their warehouse. They then work out fees, you pay the fees then they will ship your items to you!

My experience

This is my first time using a SS, I've always been worried I'll get charged stupid amounts for things I've already paid for, or get scammed. I ordered two crop tops from Milklim (4410 yen) on the 7th March, they dispatched my order to the Tenso warehouse on the 8th. On the 11th I got an email saying my order was at the Tenso warehouse and asked me to pay service and international shipping fees. I didn't see the email until the 13th though, I paid straight away when I saw it >.< the service fee was 490 yen and shipping was 1500 yen. I got 500 yen off my order because I proved my identity to Tenso. They shipped my tops out the next day and sent me a tracking number. My parcel got held in UK customs for a few days.. only to get a custom fee charge of £21.17, I can not express to you how much I hate custom fees. I paid the fees on the 22nd ¬.¬ and got my parcel on the 25th.

Not including custom fees, altogether it cost me 5900 yen/£41 for two tops, I don't think that's bad at all. I think I'll be using this service again, if I can get round paying custom fees.

Tips

Download google chrome, it translates webpages for you and for translating emails use the google translator.

Parcel I got from Tenso

Milklim parcel inside

I brought these crop tops for my holiday, I'm going to Florida, it's going to be so warm compaired with the UK, there's still little bits of snow about where I'm from :/ I'll be living in high waisted shorts and vest/crop tops I think!

Kyary concert

Last night I saw Kyary Pumyu  Pumyu in London ﾉ◕ヮ◕ﾉ I was pretty much at the back of the room :( But at lest the venue was small enough so I could still see her, well the top half of her >.< I really wish I was closer, I would have danced more! Kyary had 4 outfit changes, first one was the PonPonPon outfit ;D then it was a pink filly dress, then a pink dress with pegasus on, I know she posted a picture of it on her facebook page before. Then when she came back on stage after saying goodbye in one of her top tee shirts :3 She played all of her singles, a few songs off her albums and her new song Ninjari Bang Bang :3
