Circle Lens Review: Vassen Super Lacey

Two weeks ago, I ordered my 2nd pair of circle lenses from Pinky Paradise. I've been wanting to try a darker colour so I was really torn between a black lens and a grey one. After a lot of thought, I figured that grey would be best and bought a pair of Vassen Super Lacey in Grey.

Shipping took two weeks and when they arrived they were perfectly packaged, all secure in bubble wrap and came with a free circle lens case and my Anna Sui inspired circle lens travel case ^_^




The pattern on the lenses is super cute and looks really natural in your eye. It's not OTT like my other Hello Kitty lenses but it does enhance your eyes to give that dolly like effect. These lenses are 14.5mm in diameter and cost around £15. Being a Vassen brand, the lenses are super soft so if you have trouble putting lenses in, I wouldn't really recommend getting this brand because the softer the lens, the trickier they are to get in! However, being super soft, means that they are very comfortable and you can easily wear them all day.




There isn't really anything negative to say about these lenses. I'm super happy with them, the colour is really lovely, the pattern looks natural and the diameter is just enough to give you dolly eyes. I'd highly recommend these lenses to anyone looking for a good pair or grey circle lenses! Pinkyparadise is a great place to shop for these, with a HUGE selection, good shipping time and super cute lens cases ^_^

I really hope that you enjoyed this little review and if you have any questions about these lenses or how to care for circle lenses, I'd be more than happy to help :) Thank you lots for reading!

Liz Lisa Shoe Lust

I'm so sorry for my absence recently but me and my lovely fiance took a mini break and chilled out for a few days. I didn't have access to my laptop at all and honestly, it was really good to have a break from it BUT I'm really happy to be back, all refreshed and ready to post ^_^

I'm still pretty new to the whole 'shoe craze' There was a time that I really didn't pay any attention to footwear, I didn't understand it and heels hurt >.< but over the last couple of years, I've grown more and more in love with shoes...in particular, PLATFORMS! Being my height (5'1), platforms give that a little boost and I think they finish most outfits off perfectly. Today, I was browsing through the Liz Lisa website (drooling over their latest collection) and I stumbled upon these:


Aren't they the cutest? Platform sneakers have been hugely popular in Japanese street fashion for a while now but these are a lot more elegant and girly. Perfect for summer, with super cute lace dresses and playful skirts. The organza ribbon is so 'Liz Lisa', super feminine but remaining cute and fun and the extra layer of colour in between the cork effect platform, really gives the shoe that extra 'squeeeeee' factor! These beauties also come in soft pink and duck egg blue:



 What do you think of these cute shoes from Liz Lisa? I'm so stuck on which colour I prefer, they are all too adorable!

Create Your Own Magical World

I'm sorry this is a bit more of a personal post, I really don't want to bore you but I wanted to share with you some artwork I'd been working on recently. I got a super early birthday present (my birthday isn't till next month hehe) from my lovely fiance and I couldn't wait to try it out. It was Bob Ross oil and brush set.

I've been a HUGE fan of the artist Bob Ross for a few years now, I just think he's the sweetest guy and so freaking talented it's crazy! Anyway, I tried out oil painting for the first time using his techniques and I really wanted to show you how it turned out...it's not perfect hehe but I really loved doing it
 \(^ ^)/




It took me a few hours to paint this and honestly, I ended up with more paint on me than the canvas hehe but I had so much fun and can't wait to paint another. If you've ever wanted to try out oil painting, I seriously suggest looking up this technique, it's really great to use and you can create some really lovely things when you get the hang of it (which I really need to do!).

I'm sorry this isn't my usual 'fashion' post but I hope you don't mind me sharing this. If you would prefer, I can create a separate blog for artwork...let me know what you think!

Do you have a favourite artist?

Candy Cool In Tokyo

A few months back, I kept seeing these super cute transparent satchel bags around the internet and I had no idea what they were. After a little research and endless # searches on Tumblr, I finally found out that they were Furla Candy Bags! Furla is a designer accessories and handbag company that sets itself apart from the usually 'stuffy' designer brands. These bags are super cute, functional and come in a variety of different colours including PINK!

Whilst browsing on Youtube, I came across the Furla promo video for their super sweet Candy Bags and I really wanted to share it with you. It's set in Tokyo featuring the gorgeous and inspiring Misha Janette and shows off just how much fun these bags can be. With the bag being a blank canvass, it's transparent and made of a soft rubber, the video shows how you can transform your Candy Bag into your own creation, expressing yourself and allowing you to explore your own creativity....


I really hope that you enjoyed this video and that it inspires you to explore the things that you enjoy, to always express yourself and to never follow anyone's path other than your own ^_^

Boudoir Barbie - Peignoir Review

A few blogs ago, I mentioned a cute little boutique on etsy called Boudoir Barbie. This amazing little store sells beautiful vintage pieces perfect for Cult Party Kei outfits. I'd been on a hunt for a lovely, pastel peignoir for a while and I finally found one on Boudoir Barbie.

The store is based in America but it literally only took a couple of weeks for my peignoir to arrive. It was beautifully wrapped (which I stupidly forgot to take a picture of) and the peignoir itself was in beautiful condition.


It is a really soft blue colour with a cream lace top and princess puffy sleeves. It cost around £12 which I think is an absolute BARGAIN! It's mid length, so it falls around my knee (because I'm so short) and it's also double layered, giving it a really luxurious feel. I was honestly surprised by the fantastic quality of it, sometimes with Vintage you can see some damage or the quality of the material might be worn or not very well made but I can't find any fault with this. The lace is also super soft and delicate, not scratchy.



If anyone is looking for a peignoir or something soft and floaty for a Cult Party Kei coord, I would definitely recommend Boudoir Barbie. The shipping is fast, the products are really amazing and the store is super lovely with plenty of choice and plenty of sizes. 

Please CLICK HERE to visit the store.

I really hope that you enjoyed this little review. Happy Shopping!

Whip Cream Love








It's been a while since I wrote a Store Recommendation so I thought it'd be fun to do one today ^^ I've been getting more and more into Cult Party Kei and Dolly Kei, slowly building up a wardrobe but it's been hard to find things within these two styles without using TaoBao or Japanese stores. Then, I found Whip Cream Love, an American based store on Storenvy. The store has a HUGE selection of Japanese street fashion from clothing to shoes, wigs and accessories! They even have a small selection of Cult Party Kei pieces like sheer dresses and cute pastel bags. I've never shopped on this store before so I can't tell you how reliable it is but from looking at their range, it seems pretty cute. A lot of the products can be found on Taobao so my guess is that the owner buys from there and sells it on. The disadvantage to this is that it's probably more expensive per item but the advantage to this is the shipping will probably work out cheaper!

I definitely have my eye on a couple of items and it's definitely somewhere I'd recommend to browse around if you love anything Japanese fashion related.
