50. Modelling for Baby the Stars Shine Bright and small lolita post.

Hi everyone, 

It has been a while, hasn't it? Sorry for the lack of updates... My laptop has died and it is really hard to blog without a laptop and it is hard because I am unable to upload photos in mass quantities... Currently bumming off Tama chan's laptop while he is in Japan. 

Enough with the excuses! 

So PMX (Pacific Media Expo) had a modelling application for Baby, the Stars Shine Bright's fashion show!.. Which was back in November... orz

Preview~

I didn't think they would pick me at all because last year I applied for a fashion show and was shut down~ Anyways, I was very glad to have been able to participate!!

I also apologize for not having enough pictures of the others that were there...

A few days before the show, I got my nails done! 

I was fretting about getting into the show once I got in because a week before the show the gorgeous men of Moonstream were announced to be models in the show... I was very shocked. Two people had to be displaced... but I got lucky and they kept me in the show anyways!

Jyaan jyaaannn~!! Isn't this outfit beautiful?!

Photo is from Erskine!

It was very expensive... You can see a break down of some of the items here...

Also, there are other pieces from the fashion show listed there too!

Photo is from my friend, Scott W.

At the show, I made a new friend~ めちゃ可愛いでしょ～

Audry/Chiyuu

I think I had the most outrageously beautiful dress!! It was also the same dress that lolita legend Misako Aoki wore in a different fashion show!

I felt very lucky to be in the show, and was super excited... a little bit sad that my skin was so dry and flakey... which rarely happens on my face... but it all ended well!

It was my first runway experience, and I had a lot of fun!! I was really nervous, but my friend Ashley, who really helped me out a ton!! She was the first one to go on, and was the most gorgeous Alice!! 

Masumi Kano and I!

She is so small, quiet, but very sweet! Not to mention ridiculously talented...

She was so kind to me! She also complimented me, not only by picking me for the show, but when I asked her if it was alright if it was me, she said that my face suited it! Ahhh, I almost died 5 times, I think!

I also went to A Secret Winter Party a few weeks ago,

It was organized by Oli and Fairytale Boutique

Stole this picture from my other half, Chris, of Lovely Kuno

You can't really tell, but my hair is a coppery pink... 

Sadly the pink fades out in only a few washes...

I do wash my hair with really cold water, despite being winter... but it still comes off easily! Do you guys have any idea of how I can retain the color longer?

Anyways, my friends and I ended up showing up pretty late so we didn't get to see and chat with very many girls... however I did see Angela, Ashley M, and a Judy... but I forgot to take pictures... fail...

Angela, and I~

Aaaaaa... I totally neglected getting a decent full body snap of my coordinate... it was actually different for once!!!

I also bought lovely cat ears from the event but I will post them all when I get a new laptop or figure something out... 

My friend Gretchen of Stop and Stare also drew this gorgeous picture of me for International Lolita Day!!!

Thank you very much again; I love it!!

This year I got a lucky pack from Liz Lisa from Tama chan~

I got the sweet ribbon set because the trunk was already sold out when I realized it... I can't wait to get it soon!  Too bad because the trunk is so adorable and I really needed a suitcase... so maybe next year!

You can still order from here, and there is also a sale going on!

Have a safe and happy new year! 

See you again next year,

Christine

Ridiculous Amount of Pictures... and Lacome's Berry Bold Review!

Hi there! It's been a while~ How is everyone? (: I've been so busy with school since, and I work 5 days a week... so I have no time off...

My birthday was May 10th, so I am 22 now... |||orz I'll have to make a small birthday post later! (:

Anyways... when you guys are trying your best to look nice, how much makeup do you wear? This is usually what I use when I have time and try to look my best!



Normal days are usually just circle lenses, and mascara. Sometimes I'll put on blush or a little eyeliner under my top waterline.

Also.... preview of what is to come... it's gonna be a massive post, lol. (:

Comic Con 2011 (Mostly Day 2)~ + Random Stuff

My outfit for the day~

I wore gothic for that day, which is really rare because you never see me in it ^^;;; It's not even my dress! Charlotte Charms and I swapped a bunch of stuff! She lent me Church Gate...! We agreed on exchanging stuff of equal value, so it was sad how much of my closet went to her because Moitie is worth wayyy more than AP, lol.

KawaiiGoods.com Lucky Pack Review

Please feel free to click on these images for larger images!

So so so so long overdue... but I must say thank you to Claudia and Judy from kawaiigoods.com and kawaiicarnival.com! I bought a salopette from Claudia and she was so sweet and threw in a free lucky pack for me! I think it is the $25 dollar lucky pack, but the contents are worth way over $45!

Communication: 5/5

I was extremely troublesome and kept changing my mind and order, but Claudia was upfront, honest, understanding, and really sweet throughout the whole ordeal! When I did buy the salopette, she even threw in the Lucky Pack... how sweet is that of her?!

Quality of the Products: 5/5

They are really amazing, they are all HANDMADE with a lot of love and care. You can totally see that with the cute designs, the carefully chosen yarns and colors! They are mostly 2-way clips, so the items are versatile!
The items are all so cute, chosen really carefully, and there was a lot of thought that went into making these... when I saw them at their booth at AX, you could totally tell! how much they care for their customers and about the quality of their products.
Please check out the photos below the review portion!

Shipping Method: 5/5

Claudia shipped within 2 days of finishing the transaction! The items were bagged carefully, and put into a water resistant mail bag!

Overall Experience: 5/5

I LOVE my items! I cannot wait to start coordinating them! The items are so perfect for sweet lolita, especially the OTT (over-the-top) look, decora, fairy kei, and the items are so cute, you can wear some of them for that hint of cuteness normally!

    This is also geared a little more towards sweet lolitas, since this is my main style~

Last Birthday Post, I Hope! XD Also, Bambi Lenses Review~

My outfit for the day!
I know... I should really work on my posing... but surprisingly, I'm really shy. X_x;;;;
I got my bangs trimmed, and I didn't realize how short I asked Kevin's mom, Stephanie of Stephanie's Salon to trim it. She also did some highlights under my hair too! The blonde looks really nice with my brown hair, I think... but it's not as noticeable! It's really subtle and pretty, imo~
Outfit was mostly bought at Shibuya Closet~

Some buys, recent and not.

Today, I bought some Dolly Wink lashes!!! I'm excited because I love them! But I usually only get number 4! I didn't like 2, and I just got 5... but they didn't look that great with 4, so I thought maybe I'll try it with fuller lashes! :3



Kevin also got me the winter LP scarf and glove set from Baby!I have been looking for this forever!! I really wanted it so badly~~~ I'm so glad I got it!! Thank you Kevin! I love you, sweetie! <3

Just some more pictures of friends!

My favorite purikiras with Kevin H. (my lover face), Kevin D. (Lizzie's boyfriend), Lizzie and I! xD


Kevin and I!
What do you think of what you can see from my outfit? :P

Tea Party. :3

EDIT:
If you're interested, Kevin's mom, Stephanie, who did my hair has a facebook page!

I just would like to share since there was some interest in my hair. (:

Hi everyone!

How are you all doing? I had a wonderful time at a tea party that my dear friend, Caitlin, hosted. She always hosts the best meets, and she's always too thoughtful, and too sweet. (:

Tights: Alice and the Pirates
Head band, pear bracelets, necklace: Offbrand. I have no idea. XD
Star bracelet: Tiffany & Co.
Hair thinge: Some extra wrapping supplies, lol.
Shoes: Bordello. :3
Bag: Baby.

What I just got, and some thoughts.

Recent Purchases:

To match my Puppet Circus, and I think it may work in some gothic coords. Although when I do get into gothic, I would really like to get the MmM platforms. I think Mana makes really pretty mary jane platforms. :3


I finally got Dreaming Macaron in mint, with the headbow. (: I put a deposit down on the mint Melty Chocolate too! Now I need matching shoes. I'm hoping AP's new line of Mint tea parties will be a little lighter. :D I think I should get them in Ichigo Pink and brown too! :X I love tea party shoes. >w< Hrm..!


Still... not a lot of interesting/good ideas for my Puppet Circus coord atm. :/ I really want to buy some normal girly clothes too. ^^; I feel sorry for my boyfriend, I think I look frumpy most days. D:


On another note, my dieting has been VERY bad lately.



It is time to finally do something because I'm sick and tired of myself.
I'm tired of hating myself, and of the way I have been this past year and a half...

Recorded Lolita Coordinations [IMAGE HEAVY!]

I got this idea from Stiffany, because she posted it on Sara's page! I hope that SARA WILL ALSO DO ONE TOO BECAUSE I KNOW SHE HAS IMPROVED AMAZINGLY WELL AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER TRANSFORMATION! *COUGHFORSUBTLETY*

Style Improvement~

So, I am just curious, how much have you improved since you started lolita? Or maybe are you more fashionable now?

Me:



I hope I can keep improving, I would really like to expand my style into gothic mostly, and a little bit of classic.... although my shoulders might be too big for VM and MM. D:

T_T

Hello everyone,

I suppose I have no been doing too well lately. I think I had food poisoning again yesterday, lol... I don't know. I have been very stressed out lately, I missed my pilates class last week, and I have not been eating much lately.

Instead, I have been at school, work, club, running errands in SD, or recording songs in my free time. D:
