SpreeNow shopping service

Hi guys~

I just finished paying for a taobao order, so I should have a review on what I bought coming up soon!

If anyone is wondering, I use Spree Now as my shopping service and I've used them and another service before and I think I prefer them to anyone else. The first time I've shopped with taobao I communicated with someone over email and it was very annoying trying to get into contact with them, so I switched to a real service the next time. I've tried to use yoybuy before, but every time I would try to finish an order their website would glitch out and delete my entire cart and not take my order. After the third time it happened I was too frustrated to continue using it, and so I hopped over to Spree Now and I've never looked back.

The Versatile Blogger Award

Hi guys!

So the lovely Tokki nominated me for the Versatile Blogger award.

The Versatile Blogger award is (going to steal Tokki's words here) "given to bloggers, who are popular for their good quality style of writing and overall the quality and uniqueness of their blogs."

The rules are simple.
Share 7 facts about yourself
Nominate 15 bloggers
Thank the person who nominated you



Starting off! Seven facts about myself:

1: I love food. I eat way too much and I really don't care, I just love food so much. I don't think there's a food out there that I don't like or won't try. At the top of my list are the usual things like cake, donuts, pie, cookies and so on, even if they're not the best things to eat all day. If it's not sweets then the list can go on even longer. I love Turkish food, Greek food, Japanese food, and home cooked Mexican food, courtesy of my best friend.

2: I love to cook. This kinda goes hand in hand with the eating thing, but anyway... I hope one day to open up a cafe, since it's been a dream of mine since I was six or seven years old. It makes me extremely happen when a recipe comes out well, and even happier when someone I care for gets to try it. I think the only things I can't cook are angel food cake and french toast. Don't ask me why, I just can't get it to do the thing when it's cooking and it turns into a mess.

3: I love to write. I've been writing and editing a book for a while now, and since it's almost done that means I can get it published and move on to the next in the series! I've loved to write and create stories since I was a little kid (even though they were terrible back then...) and I've just grown up with the love of writing and books. It's probably why I made this blog, just so I could write nonsense all day.

4: I'm trying to learn German and Japanese at the moment so in the near future I can leave the USA and move to Vienna. Japanese is something I was interested in as a kid (inb4 weeb) and I found that hiragana and some kanji are fairly easy for me to read without having to study much. I'm studying German so I will be able to navigate the maze that is Vienna when I move there, and possibly attend University , but German is horribly difficult for my lazy tongue.

5: I'm into lolita, otome-kei and street fashion. When I was in Vienna recently, I fell head over heels for New Yorker, specifically Fishbone Sister brand clothing, and I'm really mad I can't buy anything online because they're jerks and don't have an online store that I can find. I found lolita back in 2008/2009 but being a poor fifteen year old , I couldn't indulge my fantasies until recently. Otome-kei is very new to me, but I still love it nonetheless.

6: I love video games. Yeah, yeah, "Gamer gurl!!one!" Shut up. I grew up with them, of course I love them! Some of my prized possessions include an '89 Game Boy with the external battery pack, a Dreamcast in pretty great condition, and my collection of Pokémon cards. (I'm aiming for every card ever printed in every language, heheh...) I'm more of a PC Gamer now, (as stated in my TNVL: L4D2 post) but that doesn't dwindle my love and respect for games. Also I really adore Vash12349, and we used to have common friends when I was doing LP's on Youtube. RIP almost friendship with Vash. (boohoo)

7: I have no friiiiends. No, I'm kidding, I do. I work 40hrs a week in an office, which means I have little time for socialization with friends in real life, so I rely heavily on other means of communication. Most of my friends are online, and we talk through skype daily. I'd love to make more friends online and don't have much of a problem with people from long distances away. So if anyone finds me interesting, hmu and we can be friends!

Well now that that's done, I can move on to the nominations~


I nominate:


Aaand... I'll have to update this when I find more bloggers to add D:



A big thank you to Tokki for the award, I appreciate it bby! ~ xoxo 


See ya next time~

A-kon 2015

Hi everyone!

Who all is going to A-kon this year? I'll be there all three days, one of them in lolita and the other two in cosplay.I don't know what my lineup is going to be yet, I'll have to wait and see what's going on while I'm there to decide what I'll wear.
I'm hoping there's going to be something lolita related (tea party maybe?) at least one of the days, but I haven't seen any plans being made yet. 

Dallas/surrounding area lolitas, any ideas on a meetup?

It's going to be my first time in lolita so I'm kinda nervous about going, but it shouldn't be too bad. Dramatic Rose is a fairly easy dress to coordinate so I don't think I'll be too ugly, and I've got almost all of my accessories and pieces already. I'm hoping to make some new friends while I'm there, so if anyone is going and wants to hang out a bit, don't be afraid to leave me a comment!

I'm also going to be taking my BJD, Ivy, with me so maybe I'll meet some BJD people as well. She's going to be wearing the same cosplays I wore last year since 2014 was the first time I'd cosplayed, first time at a con, and my first time buying a BJD. The lineup for her is Matryoshka Gumi, Fionna from Adventure Time and the third day is her normal outfit. 

But anyway, A-kon is still a long ways away, so I have plenty of time to finish everything up with room to spare. Let me know if you'll be going, and what you're wearing, I'm excited to see what everyone is doing~

Short post for today, sorry about that guys, see you next time!

TNVL: L4D2

Hi guys!
It's taking a while to get that new review up (sigh) so again, have a new post!

I wanted to start a new thing on my blog called "That's Not Very Lolita (of you)" in which I make posts about things that aren't really related to lolita fashion but it's something that I enjoy or something that's close to my heart.

Line play~

Hi everyone!

I have a new post coming up in a day or two, but I didn't want to leave this blank until then.

So, if anyone has Line Play, please feel free to add me!
I don't play as much as I used to, but I'm getting back into it so I was hoping to make some new friends.

Here's my info, I apologize if you don't have a Japanese keyboard on your phone.

I hope everyone has a nice day, byee!

Kitty Carousel/Dramatic Rose Review~

Hello, everyone!
It's been a few years since I've done any blogging so please be patient if I'm a bit slow on the upkeep.

I recently purchased Angelic Pretty's Dramatic Rose JSK and it's finally arrived~

I figured I would do a quick review on both the seller and dress, so here we go!
