This is a day late, but I had to pack yesterday and fell asleep shortly after that so I couldn’t get around to posting until just now 
Anyways! I’m now in Yonago, which seems to be a pretty nice place so far, but I wouldn’t really know since all I’ve done is wander around to find the nearest conbini and then retreat back to my hotel 
It’s already dark here though and training was tough today so I might just explore a bit tomorrow morning if I have time.
At least I was able to visit pretty much every store I wanted to while I was in the Tokyo area (Angelic Pretty, SWIMMER, chocoholic, Paris Kids, Chiara, Tralala, Liz Lisa, Hangry and Angry, Moi-Meme-Moitie, Baby the Stars Shine Bright, ACDC, Emily Temple Cute, SBY Happy Room, etc etc). Actually the Shinjuku Angelic Pretty was having a sale and so I ended up getting a really cute wallet/pass case and ring that were each 50% off.
The ring was only about $10!
 |
And the pass case/wallet was roughly $20 (I got the one in black)~
I really need to get my camera so I can take proper photos of all of the cute things I’ve bought. I really did buy quite a few things while I was in the Tokyo area 
I do have some photos of Shinjuku, Harajuku, Shibuya and a few other areas though, but they were taken on my iPhone so they aren’t the best quality unfortunately 
I hope you enjoy them anyways though~

Driving from the airport to the hotel after first arriving!
 |
Still driving…
 |
Harajuku!!
 |
 |
It was so crowded and hot but it was amazing 
 |
 |
Natto, salmon, avocado and rice. Natto is actually really yummy 
 |
SBY Happy Room!! Had a mini heart attack when I rounded the corner and saw this adorableness ♥ I bought a few bag charms in there
 |
Passed by Bodyline but didn’t bother entering since I didn’t have that much time
 |
 |
Liz Lisa yayyyy
 |
It was at about this moment that I spotted Kiddy Land and instantly knew where I would be spending the next hour of my life
 |
REMENT! I bought a couple, I couldn’t help it 
 |
 |
Wall of Rilakkuma = ♥ Ended up buying a large Korilakkuma plush
 |
 |
Descending into much cuteness~
I’ll stop there since this is turning into a photobomb, but I’ll post the remaining photos and my outfit snaps for those days in my next entry. Also I’ll be resuming my crafting as soon as I get settled in Shinjo so look out for some new jewelry soon! 
I have officially made it to Japan!! Currently I’m staying in Iidabashi but I’ve already visited Shinjuku, Shibuya and Harajuku. Can I just take a moment to say that visiting my favorite stores in person was an amazing experience 
After 109 I felt my life was complete 
Okay, not really, but it’s just amazing to be here! I actually really really love Tokyo so far – I’ve heard that it’s dirty and crowded but to be honest I think it’s a beautiful city and it feels safer than American cities.
Unfortunately I’m only here until Thursday and then I’m flying to the more south western part of Japan, but I’m excited to start working. The kids will be adorable I’m sure! I’ll write about my trip to Shinjuku before I start down that path though~
Myself and a few other interns decided to make Shinjuku our first trip since we needed to visit Kinokuniya and pick up some books. We took the line there and stepped into a camera store for a bit to pick up a disposable camera (I left my digital at home, really disappointed about that!). Then we wandered over in the direction of Kinokuniya, but first I noticed a building with a person dressed up in a Hangry and Angry costume outside so I decided to check it out. That ended up being a very good idea because there was a Liz Lisa store inside as well as a SWIMMER/chocoholic shop.
I actually wandered into the SWIMMER store thinking it was a patisserie because they have an assortment of extremely adorable sweets outside, but was so excited when I found out it was an actual SWIMMER store 
I bought a phone charm, a picture frame and nail clippers (random, I know). I’ll have to post photos later! I actually don’t have any digital photos from that day since I didn’t even think to use my iPhone camera until the next day. To be fair we didn’t spend that much time in Shinjuku anyways since I didn’t know where anything was and I spent quite a bit of time in just that one shopping building 
I have tons of photos from Shibuya and Harajuku though so look out for those in tomorrow’s entry!
NEW BOOTS~~~ 
 |
And only $20.00 too! I put together an outfit for them today 
 |
Kind of crappy lighting in my new apartment 
Probably doesn’t help that it’s always so cloudy outside! I can’t wait for the weather to start reflecting the season.
So I’ve been doing some crafting again recently! With even more sculpting! These new pieces were heavily influenced by crafts I see for sale on mbok and such
 |
 |
I’ll probably put them up for sale either later today or tomorrow. There aren’t so many because I wanted to put little details into each of them ♥
I almost forgot, I want to review a webshop I bought from recently! In addition to my usual MAC lashes, I’ve been looking for some cheaper lashes for days when I don’t feel like breaking out my #7’s. So I checked around and finally found out about Jcosme. At first I was a little scared to order from them since they don’t accept Paypal and I hadn’t really heard any reviews. But I decided to just go for it and order a bunch of the “Ethnic Beauty” style lashes. They also have “Gyaru Fashion” lashes that are cute and dramatic!
 |
So those are mine above 
I ordered way too many though so I might sell off a few pairs! I loved ordering from Jcosme though, and they even sent me a bunch of cute nail stickers with my lash order, it was so sweet and unexpected!
 |
Made another MAC order recently as well since I didn’t end up visiting their counter at Nordstrom when I was visiting home. And now that I’m back and taking summer courses (including yoga! but more about that later!) I won’t get the chance for awhile. I decided to order some eyeshadows in Woodwinked and Shroom and more #7 lashes. I seriously love #7’s 
 |
Okay this entry is getting long but I’ll update about progress on my Japan internship and more later! 
It’s been so long since my last update! With the exception of my private post of course, but that one was angsty 
And password locked! So really it was no good to anyone.
Recently I moved into my first apartment though! And I have my first very own bathroom!
 |
 |
It’s a lot bigger than my dorm room and much easier to live in! Plus my roommates have been nice so far 
So! Here is my new room~
 |
Still a little bare on the walls! I’ll fix that soon though 
 |
It’s pretty spacious, I wish it came with a desk though! For now I just use my laptop on my bed and keep my printer and books on the chest of drawers.
 |
The closet gets a thumbs up from me – wayyy more room for my shoes and clothes in this one! Five points to anyone who can guess what show I was watching 
 |
And the bathroom! I never thought I’d be so excited about a bathroom but apparently having one all to myself makes me extremely pleased. I love all the counter space
 |
I really have so many hair and face products, trust me that isn’t even the half of it! 
Here is my newest addition~
 |
The Shiseido pureness facial care set with cleanser, toner and lotion. I also invested in the face scrubbing brush!
 |
Hopefully the set works well since it was a little pricey 
I think Shiseido is more simple than other more chemical facial washes so it should turn out well.
That’s all for now, I have so much to catch up on with my blogs though so look for more entries very soon!
Has it really been two weeks since my last update 
I guess I’ve been busier than usual lately! That tends to happen towards the end of the year/semester. I’m sure that when the year ends I’ll be back to updating regularly 
The seminar for my possible internship in Japan is coming up fast! It’s on May first. I need to make sure I get all my documents in before then. Also need to get a new iPhone case as I lost my Rilakkuma one recently when I dropped my phone at a dance I’m thinking of replacing it since the Rilakkuma cases are now available on eBay, or I might get this cute Juicy Couture one~
 |
For now my iPhone doesn’t have a case, but considering that I could have lost the phone as well it makes me happy to at least still have my iPhone
There’s currently a Beauty Insider 15% off your entire order sale going on at Sephora for anyone who didn’t already know about it! The promo code for it is MADNESS and it ends tomorrow. I was seriously considering some of the cute new tokidoki collab items Sephora has up for sale but decided not to buy.

I finally did a bit of crafting over the weekend and here are the results!
 |
I haven’t been feeling very creative lately but it was nice to do some work with clay after not having made anything for awhile. I have most of the rings above for sale as well as some Liz Lisa items and more at the link below 
I have a couple more new Angelic Pretty images and dividers today!
I want to start adding more to the dollmaker soon – I haven’t really updated it in awhile. College has been busy lately though now that the year is coming to an end I had a math exam yesterday that was absolutely awful, math is my worst subject for sure. I found out I was accepted to the college I want to transfer to though, so I’ve just been setting that up in case the Japan internship doesn’t happen this fall. I have to plan for either outcome, but I’m really hoping I get the internship and spend fall semester in Japan Also I need to book a plane ticket for this summer so I can fly to the summer camp I’ll be working at from June-August. There’s so much going on 
I received my Liz Lisa spring/summer denim skirt in the mail yesterday though and that cheered me up. It’s so cute! 
I can’t wait to coordinate it, I think it can go with pretty much anything really.
 |
I feel like now I have enough of the ‘essential’ pieces from Liz Lisa that I can just add American brands into the mix but still have a sort of Liz Lisa look. I mean I’d love to have the whole spring/summer collection but that is definitely not possible
Sorry for the huge gap in updates! I came down with a cold on Wednesday and have been feeling under the weather since then Yesterday was really nice outside though so I went shopping again and picked up some really cute tops from American Eagle and a skirt from Vanity
 |
Also got a plain brown tee from TJ Maxx – I’ll probably go back and get more in different colors since they are great for layering and only about $6.00 – and some brown heels as well 
I’m wearing the tee in the photo below~
 |
Apparently Angelic Pretty deco’d a car? Has anyone seen this? I think it looks really cute, wish there were closeups of it!
 |
I noticed I haven’t been adding much along the lines of graphics lately so last night I worked on getting some new Angelic Pretty images up
As well as some new backgrounds and gal style images.
That’s it for today, I need to get some last minute homework done now!!
Another giveaway today! This time it’s a small deco kit with some stickers, ribbons, rhinestones and pearls. As usual, first to comment wins the giveaway so even if you’re a new visitor please comment to win! 
 |
One of the few items from my Celga order I decided to keep was the skirt below The rest just didn’t fit the way I’d hoped so I had to sell them off
 |
I really like this skirt though! And there are shorts built in underneath so it doesn’t feel strange to wear something so short
 |
If you’re wondering what’s in my pocket, it’s my amigurumi! I love handmade amigurumi – wish I could make them myself! Unfortunately anything to do with sewing just isn’t for me. I’ll stick with clay
As for an outfit rundown, the top is from Sechuna, skirt and boots are from Liz Lisa (expect to see these boots a lot, I’m currently pretty obsessed with them ) and the amigurumi is from an Etsy seller.
 |
I’m thinking about getting my hair done soon, I haven’t dyed it in a really long time! I’d like to either get highlights or lowlights, or maybe even both We’ll see if I can afford it after I go shopping again this weekend and pay off some bills.
And lastly I just wanted to remind everyone that the pixel eggs will hatch April 4th!
Just want to start off this entry with some photos of my new Liz Lisa boots, which are even more amazing in person I’m so glad I bought them when I did – they are now sold out at Liz Lisa’s online shop and Shibuya 109 net shop and seem to be hard to find for a good price anymore.
 |
They came brand new in their box with a duster bag and extra heel plugs in case anything happens to the heels. The bows are also detachable
 |
I couldn’t wait to coordinate them and so I threw together an outfit with them today I’ll probably have to add a light jacket for awhile until it gets warmer.
 |
I need a tan The dress and tank top are from Vanity, the necklace and boots are from Liz Lisa and the skirt is from Sechuna. The necklace originally had a little brooch type charm on it, but I took it off. I might make a separate brooch with it later on~
Also bought some things from MAC this weekend! I decided to try out their foundation again in a different shade, since NW15 was too dark for me even though I was matched to that color. I tried out NC15 in person at the counter and it turned out to be a perfect match!
 |
Ended up buying the foundation, lipglass in Underage, a foundation pump and new #7 lashes. Mine were kind of falling apart after using them daily for awhile. I’m impressed they held up so long though! I’m thinking of ordering these lashes from Daiso next though, you get ten pairs for about $20.00
Here’s the result of my new makeup, I can already see the difference their foundation makes vs. drugstore brand foundations. It definitely has better coverage and stays put much longer.
 |
I’ll leave this entry here since it’s getting a bit long, but tomorrow I’ll update with more new purchases and maybe another outfit
Just a quick post today – I’ll get back to regular updates when I get back from spring break! 
I got my package from Celga today, just in time, and so I’ll do a post on that on Monday~ Some of the items I bought didn’t fit quite right though so I have some things up for sale at the link below
Liz Lisa necklace, Liz Lisa spring 2010 top, Liz Lisa floral dress, Liz Lisa bag/skirt/etc charm for sale!
I loveee my new Rilakkuma iPhone case though!
 |
The Liz Lisa boots I bought are adorable too, but I’ll post a full update on Monday with some outfit shots with them!
