New things, new style.

I'm so sorry for my absence! I'll be around more soon. Not only have I barely found the time to sit down and write anything useful or inspiring, my phone camera is seeming to get worse. I need to buy an actual camera or buy a new lead and charger for my old one. Either way, I have some pics of my recent gets.

I got my favourite MA*RS set through, unfortunately the skirt doesn't fit but the top does! My stupidly badly proportioned body is stupid. Luckily I'm losing weight again now so I'll be able to fit into it as some point in the future haha.




Yummy, yummy D.I.A. top. It's absolutely gorgeous but my boobs seem to be too big (having 32B boobs I never get to say that!) and they look flat at the side but standing face-on I actually have a bit of cleavage! I never have cleavage.



Top-dress which is so cute. I'm really loving floral prints at the moment.



Stompy boots! I think these are gonna go so well with the top-dress above and the leather-look with lace inset leggings I have on the way. Menswear as womens wear/androgyny is really in this season. I also have a cropped tuxedo jacket on the way for the outfit. Can't wait till it arrives!

Now, I had enough with my half-dead hair. The bottom wasn't absorbing any dye and was a completely different colour to the top so I had a moment and cut it to my collarbones.



I actually like it. I'm also trying to change my style a little bit. I want to start looking more my age. I'm almost 22 now and, as much as I love the tsuyome style and such, living in a tiny village in Norfolk, UK (one of the most backwards places in England) it's not so acceptable to walk around in suspenders and such. I love that style but I don't feel comfortable in it anymore. Right now I'm trying to build my self esteem, create a healthy mind and body and eventually get myself back into work and living as normal.
I'm recovering well from my Depression, my anxiety is being controlled by my medication and I'm finally accepting my bulimia is out of control and I'm getting help so wearing clothes that I'm not comfortable in will only exacerbate my conditions. I'm feeling more inspired by Jelly, Blenda, Nuts and high-fashion now. I hope to keep my style Gyaru because it's what I love, what I enjoy, what I'm passionate about, but I want to be more onee-gal and start feeling confident about myself.

Shopping Mall Japan Review.

I got another order from Shopping Mall Japan through and I thought I'd write a more detailed review about their services this time, so here goes. I hope some of you find this useful.

Everything arrived in a box, well padded by a ton of Japanese newspapers. I really appreciate how padded-out the packages are to ensure that no, or as little as possible, damage is caused to the items inside.

The items themselves are always packaged in little bags with the auction number and such on a lable on the outside. The items are usually folded pretty well too.

The items were both undamaged and I was really pleased with the way they packaged and sent their items.

I personally use SMJ as you can put down a deposit through paypal and you can bid up to 5x that ammount on as many items as you like. You also dont have to pay the invoices for 2 weeks after you recieve them which is both a blessing and a curse for me!

Their fees are pretty good too but they charge different rates depending on which auction site your using or if you're placing a shop order. If you want to know their fees information just go to their website: http://shoppingmalljapan.com/generalfees.html

They only allow EMS shipping which is at normal rates. As far as I know they dont send items standard post. They usually ship pretty soon after you place your shipping request I've had no complaints with their dispatch times so far.

They support Yahoo Japan auctions, Amazon Japan, Rakuten auctions etc but do not support Mbok so you will have to use another shopping service for that.

Lastly their Customer Service is fantastic. Everytime I've had a query with them they have replied within 24 hours and are always friendly and polite.

Overall I really have nothing bad to say about this shopping service other then the fact they do not support Mbok. I'm hoping this will change soon but otherwise, if you're looking for a great service for Yahoo Japan and Rakuten I really recommend!

DreamV Haul!

Finally, after all the issues with Customs and the back-to-back bank holidays here in England, I finally recieved my DreamV items!

I got two pairs of stockings. I absolutely LOVE the pink stripey pair, but the other pair are really flattering on the legs as they still have the illusion of being stockings but are actually tights and so cover up my ugly parts!

This dress was on sale so I was even more drawn to it. I am so much more in love with it now it's arrived. It has a cut-out in the back and little sleevy things.

Last, but not least, the most expensive and favourite of my DreamV purchases. I absolutely love this dress. I've been really loving the lace cut-out backs and big collar trend a-la D.I.A and now I can follow it. YAY!

I also recieved a couple of other things

This is a huge, heavy necklace I bought from ebay. I'm thinking I can also use it as a chain-belt, ne?

AND, my sister went to Naples and brought me this Hello Kitty dipping Lolly. She's not doing very good for my diet, though, I have to admit, these kinds of things I dont really want to eat, I'd rather look at them.

Here's my outfit and hair and make for the day! I really love the DreamV dress but those tights are definately my favourite buy. The other dress is gorgeous on too but the sleevy bits make my bingo-wings look mahoosive!

Let me know what you think ^_^.

Clothes haul!

I'm finally back from my boyfriend's after far too long with a limited supply of clothes and underwear ! I do miss being with him but I need to get my clothes and stuff, plus having my own PC again is nice. Laptops get a bit annoying after a while .
Upon my arrival home again I had a huge haul of clothes and some other bits and bobs ! Gosh, I love ebay so much haha. My fed-ex stuff from China had also arrived. I'm so choosing fed-ex next time I order with them.

I'll show you the stuff from China first.

Order from China.

My order from my Chinese Wholesalers arrived today !
Obviously I share every detail of my style experience on here so of course you're about to be bombarded by pics of them plus me in a new outfit .

Look what the postman brought me.

I decided to post all the things the postman has brought me over the past couple of days. I'm such an ebay fiend ! Our poor old postman always comes to the door struggling with my parcels haha . Anyways, here are the things I've had over the last few days.

How to turn a plain old skirt into a cute princessy one.

I got through a bunch of new things when I'd got back from my boyfriend's house. One of which was a pretty plain white skirt I'd bought for a couple of quid from ebay. I decided it'd be a nice idea to simply customise it by adding a couple of black bows, one on each side of the skirt. I thought I'd post what I did for you guys in case it inspired you to do the same to one of your items.

I didn't take loads of pictures for this because I didn't think about posting it till after I started but here it is anyways.

Winter Warmers.

There has been an increadible ammount of snow here in the UK and I've been thinking it's about time I got myself wrapped up warm. I was thinking about the ways of keeping gal throughout the colder months without freezing to death. Here are some of the idea's I've come up with.
