[Got Lolita] AP, BtSSB, Bodyline



Finally I received these items I bought in the begining of the year!
This package must've been cursed, because it gave me headaches even at the last moment; it was returned to Japan, then sent back here, and when I thought the problems were over, the mailman marked it as delivered while it wasn't, so I had to check the neighbor buildings and the post office to try to recover it. Goddamn it. Well, it is finally here, so let's take a look at all the items!


Magnolia A-Line Plaid OP

Bodyline
I thought I would never put my hands on this op, because 1- it's Bodyline, so sells for cheap, and the cheaper, the faster it is sold; and 2- because tartan is very sought after, so probably who owns it would never let it go. I was lucky somebody actually let it go haha. I can't wait to coord it!


Cosmic OP

Angelic Pretty
I was so happy to get it! This dress has a very small poof, so it is perfect for daily lolita - except for playing cello, but I've come to terms that I will have to upgrade my wardrobe for that activity, anyway.
I want to match it with pink! I need to make some matching headthing for it.

Small items

BtSSB Usakumya-chan's Fluffy Tissue Box Cover: since I have allergy, I like to have a tissue box next to my bed. I was using a BtSSB Milky-chan tissue cover box for it, but since Milky-chan stays with her head down, you can't see it clearly, so I bought this one that's a huge Usakumya head. The Milky-chan one I put on my sofa, so I can use it while watching TV.


BtSSB Dot Ribbon Headband: I like those plastic headbands for more casual coords, so I bought this one! So cute!


Bodyline Cutie Poodle socks: I had these in pink last decade and I regret selling them so much! When I found these in blue I had to buy them immediately! While I have the Cutie Poodle JSK, these ones match my Maxicimam's sax dresses better.


Gosurori 13: I was wanting to collect this magazine for a while, so I am happy to own at least one issue.


Bonus: pink BtSSB Ribbon that I have to figure out what am I going to do with it.

I am so happy these items made it safely home!

[Got Lolita] Otome no Sewing 17



Yeah! Last days I got my copy of Otome no Sewing 17 that I had preordered through a brazilian bookstore. I think I will keep doing it to not miss any volume anymore.

About the Otome itself, I think there could be more "pure" lolita material (even though I like the Pink House-esque dresses, I would love to have more strict lolita silhouette patterns). But the few ones that are in there are very interesting, and I am wanting to sew them to wear to my cello classes; Bonus for the coffin bag that looks so cute, but I need to figure out what they use to give it the strenght/shaping.

About the purchase itself, I want to try buying straight from Japan in the next time to compare how long it takes to arrive, versus the taxes and shipping, and the final price. It took four months to arrive, starting to count since the release date. I didn't find the amount I paid for the brazilian bookstore bad, in fact it is very reasonable, but maybe it could arrive earlier if ordered directly from Japan with EMS, not by sea. So, just curiosity. But indeed, it is so easier to order through the brazilian bookstore, plus you don't have any headdache.

[Got Lolita] Angelic Pretty Parasol and Otome no Sewing mooks



So, these are the lolita items I got yesterday!


First item is the Angelic Pretty Heart Logo Polka Dot Print Umbrella, from 2008, that I traded with a friend. 
This umbrella is so gorgeous! It will look amazing with my strawberry lolita prints! And of course, with my always growing collection of red pieces!
And then, THREE volumes of Otome no Sewing Book! I am so happy to have found them! now my collection miss only three more volumes, and then it will be complete ^^.
I can't wait to try these patterns! I have a little pile of fabric that I want to get rid of, so I hope there is enough material to sew something ^^

[Book] Kawaii! Japan's Culture of Cute




Yesterday one of the books I was searching for a long time arrived!
It is the Kawaii! Japan's Culture of Cute.
I couldn't read it all yet, but I was reading the lolita part and it is very cute, even though it is very small. The other subjects of the book are very interesting, so I might do a review later as soon as I finish reading it.

Lolita and Lolita Lifestyle haul~☆


☆ Today some packages arrived! ☆
I've been waiting for them for an eternity...

First things first, dream dress!

Melody Toys High Waist JSK (2020) and the matching KC!
This print is awesome, I can't even describe how beautiful it is in real life! Breathtaking!
Then some jewelry! Offbrand Merry Go Round necklace, three Angelic Pretty rings and Angelic Pretty baloons necklace I got in a bloodbath a long time ago.
Milk oldschool-like socks and Angelic Pretty fake fur bag.
For the lifestyle side, Angelic Pretty mug and Kamikaze Girls manga.
A super adorable My Melo room mat!
It looks so cute in my closet! I was going to put in my tv room, but this thing is so beautiful to let my cats ruin it.
And finally, a My Melody McDonald's toy, to put fries and soda to eat inside the car and a cotton swabs case. I was going to put the food holder inside the car, but maybe it would be a waste of an amazing item! I still need to decide what I am going to do with this lol.
I am in love with my new items!
