A few months ago I put in a substantial order with the shopping service FromJapan. Now, I'll be honest it was a complete impulse splurge in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep and I should say I regret it, but I really really don't, I got some hella cute stuff! Onto what we're all waiting for, the haul!
**Dream dress alert!!!**
Metamorphose Wonder Card / Card Playing Kitty OP and headbow set [Lolibrary].
I saw this exact set come up on the Mbok last year, it was relisted a few times before the seller everntually pulled it. I couldn't afford it at the time and was devastated when it was no longer available, so you can imagine how excited I was when I saw it pop up again! I knew I was meant to have it! I was particularly interested in this set as it has the matching headbow and the OP is complete with waist ties, detachable black ribbon bows and the collar and cuff set. It also all seems completely unworn, the headbow even still has its tag! I probably paid far more than its really worth now, but come on? A set that's this complete? I also now have something to match the Parka I bought a while back [if you remember?]Next up I put an order through for some items from Maiden Clothing I could probably have managed to order direct from them, but I kinda felt like I was saving something on the postage by ordering through FromJapan.
Angelic Pretty Trick Girl Set [Lolibrary]
As I was ordering around August time, I decided to get my Halloween outfit sorted early. This is one adorable dress and fits perfectly! I did wear it out on Halloween and I got a lot of compliments! I've only worn the mini hat for halloween, but I've actually worn the dress a couple of times, its perfect for more casual frilly outfits! The velvet is so soft and beautiful <3
**Another dream dress alert!!!**
Baby, the Stars Shine Bright Chocolate Fascinate Fairytale [Lolibrary]
I knew when this dress first came out that I had to have it! I'm not really a fan of chocolate theme prints personally (love how they look on other Lolitas though!), but this one is different to me as it's done in Baby's more traditional Fairy Tale style depicting the story of Hansel and Gretel, so I think I'll be able to work it =D Up close the print does not disappoint, so detailed and pretty! I didn't actually realise this came with socks until it arrived, so that was a nice surprise when I opened the box!
Maiden Clothing is a really good site to buy from in my opinion. They have a scoring system for the condition of their clothes and it is beyond accurate! All of the items were in better than expected condition, I'd almost go as far as to say nearly new!
I also grabbed some accessories off of both Yahoo Japan auctions, Mbok and from Metamorphose's webstore.
Socks:
-Wonder Card socks in blue. These are new with tags. They aren't my preferred style of socks for this print (these are) but since I didn't think to order my preferred socks when I saw them on sale on Meta's website they'll have to do =/ They complete the set at least!
-Crown Label Bubble Bath socks. I don't have this print, but I really want the Pinafore jsk and since I already have so much regret over the Wonder Card socks I didn't order, I decided to snap up the socks while they were on sale! I could have ordered direct from Meta's website, but thought going through the Shopping Service may work out cheaper on shipping in the longrun (Who knows?).
-Angelic Pretty Fancy Paper Dolls OTKS in lavender [Lolibrary] Socks with ears?! Yeah, I HAD to have these! They were released for Fancy Paper Dolls, which is a print featuring Lyrical Bunny, so I knew I needed these to go with my Lyrical Bunny lucky pack print! They are so cute! Though not in the greatest condition, I bought these second hand and unfortunately they do have a feeling of wear, I'll be sure to wash them before wearing!
Close up of accessories (all Angelic Pretty):
-Lyrical Bunny Wrist cuffs in Lavender [Lolibrary] Yeah, I know, I just bought these in white! But I just couldn't resist getting the lavender too! Besides they go perfect with the socks!
-Bunny toy headbow [Lolibrary] This was released this year to go with the Melody Toys print, but I just knew it would go fantastically well with both my Happy Garden and Lyrical Bunny (though I thought of putting it with Lyrical Bunny first!)
-Magical Lyrical Bunny Necklace in pink [Lolibrary] Released for last years Halloween, but I am a complete sucker for AP's Halloween jewellery! Also, Lyrical Bunny again! =D Aaand its new with tags, win!
These were all sat on my dream item list too, so its always good to tick them off! So happy to have them all! ^_^
FromJapan are a really good shopping service and I do definitely recommend them if you need to buy anything off of auctions or webstores in Japan. I've always found them super professional, communication is fantastic, postage is very quick, and their website is very simple to use - your orders update quickly and accurately!
Hope you enjoyed sharing in my box of delights! I cannot wait to wear it all!
