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!
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
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! 
Just checked Liz Lisa’s webshop and they have a cute new layout up! 
It’s also much easier to navigate now. I think it’s a definite improvement 
And all of the flowers on top are so lovely for spring!
 |
Sooo I finished the commission for custom mini hats today and I think they turned out cute. It was my first time attempting to make mini hats so I’m pretty happy with the result. I couldn’t find a heart shaped mini hat for the melty chocolate themed hat though so that was a little disappointing
 |
I don’t think I’ll be making any more mini hats though as they took so long to make 
Recently I’ve on the fence about these denim skirts from Liz Lisa. I really liked them when I first saw them, but I wasn’t sure if they were worth buying
 |
But I caved and bought the light blue version the other day 
I wasn’t going to, but after seeing the spring looks in stores here I thought that it would pair well with just about anything and make a lot of outfits more gal.
 |
I should be receiving my package from Celga this week, I’m so excited 
It has my Liz Lisa boots and a bunch of other things. Can’t wait! I’ll probably check its status way too often until it finally gets here
As promised here’s a small random giveaway for you all! First to comment will receive a Cinnamoroll sticker pack including all the items shown below~
 |
Also I still have a Liz Lisa necklace for sale! I’m willing to take offers on it as I just want it sold You can find it at this link

So I’m finally going home tomorrow The campus is dead now that everyone’s on break, and that makes me want to get home even more. I went for a walk around the campus today, since I live on campus and just wanted to get outside, and there was hardly anyone around. It was really unusual, I’ve never seen it so deserted Before I leave tomorrow I think I’ll take advantage of the situation and get some pictures of the campus while no one is around to crowd it~
I went shopping today despite the horrible weather outside. I mean wind and snow on the first day of spring break But I was glad I went because all the new spring looks are finally in stores! I love that the western look hasn’t been limited to Japan – it’s definitely influencing the spring styles here too
I was going to wait to buy anything until I got back home, but I tried on this dress/shirt at Vanity and had to buy it!
 |
The tank top underneath came with it so I think it was a pretty good deal for only about $30.00~ I plan on layering it with the Sechuna skirt in the photo since it’s one of those tops that is in between being a shirt and a dress 
There are lots more things I want to get from American Eagle and Vanity now that I’ve seen it all. During the winter I only really shopped at Buckle but for spring and summer I think I like those brands more. Actually I haven’t shopped at Vanity for years but they have some really cute pieces this spring so I can see a lot of outfits coming from there 
I definitely want to get a denim overshirt, wide leather belt, and some new tank tops.
I made a custom carousel ring for one of my friends yesterday – it turned out really cute! 
I really like the color combo of pink x black actually.
 |
Last thing, I have some Liz Lisa and Tralala items for sale~
 |
Brand new Liz Lisa necklace + Tralala sweets cutsew back up for sale
I’m probably going to be doing another giveaway tomorrow so watch out for that
