Since I can BARELY keep up with all my updates, blogs, posts, etc...I'm going to do one LONG post about ALL my latest Lolita adventures ;) So...here...we...GO!!
First, the biggest event for me every year...Kawaii Kon ^_^
Our anime convention in Hawaii...& this year...we had HUGE Lolita guests:
Harajuku Hearts/Angelic Pretty/BPN had a booth
h.Naoto's MINT brought his Mint Neko brand goods as well as some other h.Naoto merch ^^
PLUS! He put on a fashion show to showcase his newest items...And I was one of the models XD
We all had to submit applications & only 13 models made it, so it was a HUGE honor & experience I will NEVER FORGET ^_^
Pics of us behind the stage & in the show XD
It was LOTS OF FUN & It was sooo amazing being able to meet the designer, Mint ;D
Plus, all the models were really friendly & the show was a success!
Another amazing Lolita guest was Iruma Rioka...who is soooo amazing in her music & style XD
She wore a BEAUTIFUL Atelier Pierrot Dress & her performance was SOOO WONDERFUL...along w/ her guitarist, Nemu & her teddy bear, Honey ^_^
Some pics of her on stage...& for buying some Harajuku Hearts merchandise, I got to have my picture taken with her ^^
Of course, I "had" to buy Lolita items, so here's my loot ^^

After hanging around backstage in my Mint Neko top...I HAD to buy it...it's sooo comfortable...Plus, if you bought some merchandise from Mint's booth, u got a signed polaroid with him ^^ I also bought the cute kitty necklace b/c he added it to my show outfit...as a last minute accessory :)
for my main loot, I mainly wanted some Diamond print socks...but they didn't have the color I wanted, so I settled for redxivory(2nd choice) and I was drawn to the Trumps print ones ^^
Best souvenir EVER!!
and I got Iruma & Nemu's autographs as well by buying the cd & standing in the autograph line...totally worth it XD
THEN! After the craziness of Kon...things could finally go back to normal...& I continued my usual shopping sprees ^^
h.Naoto cat cap(to be used for a photoshoot), some alice in wonderland tights & mirage in paradox skirt in navy (i have the jsk, but the skirt is super cute too...& there are more gold elements^^)
And then...Day Dream Carnival was released...& it was CRAZINESS O_O My SS sadly couldn't get me the dress I wanted...& I WAS willing to go through the auctions...but then...it just seemed not even worth it after i kept seeing the price go up & up & UP O_O
I mean, I DID love the dress, but not enough to pay a ridiculous amount of money for...not when I could buy something else with that money...so...i asked for my refund back & even though the prices have dropped, i'm still glad I can buy something more in my style ;)
I still want a really nice piece, but I think I shall put DDC on my wishlist for later on when the craziness is over...or maybe i'll have money by the re-release...but...i'm kind of over the print now...AP's not my fave brand either since it's too sweet for me, so we'll see...
In the meantime, I've been becoming interested in elaborate prints again, so I shall be writing a post about that...soon ;D I've also been REALLY into more Mint Neko items b/c they're so casual & I can easily wear them to work...so, there shall be a post about that as well XDD
I'll end with saying that I'd LOVE to get back into doing the Lolita Blog Carnival soon...but I was sick during the convention & after...& then work got a little crazy...so hopefully things will be settled by April & I can update this more ;)
I'm also going to do 2 reviews soon, so keep an eye out for those ^^
