Mori Girl clothes!

Since I bought stuff from Rakuten before (Chocomint), I get those periodic (and sometimes annoying) e-mails from Rakuten about their various shops and sales. Today, I was browsing and something caught my eye--! A shop called "Soulberry" that sells very earthy-toned, mori-inspired clothes. Hell, it might even be considered mori itself but I am just starting to learn about mori girl and all of the lifestyle stuff that goes with it so I am not really sure what "defines" a mori girl outfit apart from the loose, flowy, vintage layers, and random hints of earth-tone in an outfit... and cute, chic accessories like a little bird necklace or a camera-shaped pin. :D

....you be the judge of whether their stuff is mori or not. :P

I think on my "must buy" list for this fall, I want to get some fur stole or wrap, a crochet vest in cream or white, and a couple of vintage dresses from Avalon. :] I find it so hard to pull off straight up US vintage...but when you mix and match vintage with current trends, and add a hint of fairy tale, you get something like MORI gal. :D



And here is the rest of it.

KrystaalRain on Youtube: Make-Up Inspirations

So I think this is going to be a make-up related post. :D

Lately I've been stuck in a rut make-up wise...I don't know why but even using the Kat Von D palettes I so fawn over, I've been feeling sort of BLAH. I guess I wish I had more MAC stuff like a palette of eyeshadows or bright colors. Sugarpill, etc...but I guess my old Urban Decay stuff will suffice for now. :3 I have some Rocket City stuff on the way since it's only $1.99 per item no matter what item, from wholesalecosmetics.com (!!) :D Rocket City was one of the first makeup brands I ever bought and wore religiously. It's like a blast from the past! Retrofuturism! :D

ALSO.....
Only 3 days till Aromaleigh's final sale before they shut down shop for good, so don't forget to get your last minute mineral makeup....I know I will order at least SOME thing from her site...I especially adore her blush. *eyeballing roomie's Aromaleigh stuff* xD

Despite hearing so much hate about LimeCrime, their lipsticks are EPIC. Seriouslllly. I found myself using the My Beautiful Rocket (bright orange) lipstick quite frequently. >_<;


Anywayyyyy the real point of this post was to share a very inspiring youtube-r with you all. Her name is KrystaalRain and she has AWESOME HAIR but even more AWESOME are her makeup abilities! :D

This is the tutorial I am following:

When I saw her sporting this look on her "About my dreads" video, I just had to try it myself! So I will be using mostly Urban Decay products to try and get the same look she has. :D

Botanic Gardens Day 1 Photo Post!!!

For those that do not know...every year there is a Japanese Festival at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.





We've started a gal circle in St. Louis called "Chance" with members: Anne, Kate (me), Nami, and little sister member Yuka. :D

We took a photo of all four of us together but it is on another person's camera and I will post it later ....I think Anne will upload photos to our website soon. I actually forgot the URL at the moment...and since I got a new comp, I have yet to transfer all of my bookmarks over.....









Yuka's awesomely decorated pumps which I thought for sure were from DreamV on Rakuten....but they were self-made!!! O.o;


Me xD


Yuka


Nami



That was my yukata that I bought in Sapporo. :D
I really miss Sapporo. D:

The weather here has been pretty good!! I am looking forward to going back to the festival again today in my Angelic Pretty powder rose OP! I will see Yuka and Anne again....unfortunately Anne had to leave early yesterday to get food so I didn't get many photos with her. D: Sad face! I think they photos I took of her ended up on someone else's camera so I gotta wait for those to be posted. :x

I will try to take more photos in the pretty gardens tomorrow. It's always so crowded, though. >_<;

I hope everyone has been having a great labor day weekend!! :D
Look for more photos tomorrrowww. 8-)

LIZ LISA Fall/Winter Collection!!!!

GET EXCITED!!!


Liz Lisa Fall/Winter Collectioooon! :]



I am really excited....I am very in love with Liz Lisa and I never really saw a lot of their winter/fall stuff yet...cause I just got into gyaru recently. x)

There's a Japanese fest this weekend and I might go in full Agejo in a yukata...hah. Assuming I can find a friend to tie my obi that is, I am so fail at that. :P

Click below to see some picsss....



Almost a bit o' mori gal???



So cute! ^__^ A lot of browns and neutrals..



And OMG THESE BOOTS. MUST.....HAVE.....! >_<; But they'd never fit my thundercalves. I really want a pair of thigh high brown or black boots for fall/winter with a HEEL. My friend Lauren said she got some from Steve Madden that could fit me, so I can't wait to try those on later tonight!

Oh and I henna'd my hair using LUSH henna. xD


YUM CACA! :P


10 hrs later...



xD

YAY RED HEAD! Haha.

OK that's all for now. Sorry for short/crappy post. Maybe I will write more about Liz Lisa later...I am back from class just now and feeling tired/hungry. :P

I also scored these sweet SBY notebooks! I have yet to figure out what I will put in them! I got all of these on eBay from a great seller across the river in IL at Scott AFB. She's a Japanese woman who sells a lot of GAL items. :3 Shipping is uber fast too since she lives so close to me, muwhahahaha!

I was sad to hear that Aromaleigh is closing down. Two years ago I bought eyeshadows from her and I loved them! My roommate also has some of her products...she was the one who told me the site is going down! OH NOES. But there's going to be a huge SALE on the remainder of her products soon, so yay. I will be on the lookout for that. Gothic Lolita collection here I come. :3

I'm so sorry! I've been ill in the ER from suspected food poisoning or some kind of highly contagious stomach virus! Not sure which but either way, it was awful! :<
