Yumetenbo/DreamV Rakuten Order

I hope you guys are having a good week!

Anyways,  Rakuten had a free shipping promotion and I decided to order some items from DreamV or otherwise known as Yumetenbo (夢展望). There was a bolero that I've been eyeing for months so this was the perfect opportunity!

Here's what I ordered:

I ordered the dark brown ones

Pink one for me!

I ordered the one on the far right.

Everything was pretty much true to size and colour. The sweater was quite thin but nice and soft o3o. I've worn it quite a few times and it kind of stretched...not too happy about that. The boots are super tall! Both the platform and the heel! I'm only 5'2" so this gives me the height I've always wanted. I find them pretty comfortable. I've worn them out on a few occasions and still loving them to bits! I never got around to wearing the bolero. It just doesn't match anything in my wardrobe right now.

The only thing that didn't please me is something that was my fault. I ordered with a friend to take advantage of the free shipping since it's free shipping if you order $100 or more. However, the fine print said up to $30 worth of shipping. In the end, our shipping total was $60 so we had to pay half. I was a bit disappointed but it's my blunder. Always read the fine print!!

Anyhoo- Thanks for reading and I'll hopefully post again soon!!

My First Lolita Meet!

Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I've made a post. Things just got hectic for me in the last few months ^^"

Last month, I was finally able to go to my first ever lolita meet up! 

I've been in love with lolita fashion since the beginning of grade 9, but I just didn't have the money to fund such an expensive hobby. I mean, $30 for a pair of socks?? I didn't start building up my wardrobe until 3 years later. In between, I never owned more than 2 dresses at a time. My first 2 pieces were a replica of Fantastic Dolly and a Bodyline JSK. The only times I got to wear them was on Halloween. 

I got my first brand piece as a birthday present. My second piece was from a BtSSB Cyber Monday sale. Slowly, I started building it up. As of now, it's still pretty tiny. I don't own any lolita accessories, just lolitable ones. I make do :D

I've never went to a lolita meet up. Reason was partially because I didn't even know a lolita community existed here until earlier this year, and the fact that I had a horrible experience with one of the lolitas before I joined. I wore my replica JSK at a local anime/cultural event and one of the lolitas said that the strap of the JSK "totally gave it away". I really didn't know how to take it, but I ended up taking it badly. And when I finally joined the Facebook group, all the meets landed on a bad day for me.

Without further adooo-

What I wore:

Pas de Deux in the Blue Moon Odette JSK - BtSSB
Bag - Tralala
Necklace (can't really see) and Rose hair clip - F21
Everything else is off brand

I usually cake on the makeup, but I was in a rush so I felt so under-madeup that day haha- 

We went for a late afternoon tea party. Not the best place I've been to but it was pretty good! There was an odd number of us and I arrived a bit late so I had a whole set to myself.

Little Prince Afternoon Tea at Rose House.

Everything was really good! The tea was a bit bitter for my tastes. They gave you a small packet of sugar but I never felt like it was enough. The pastries were warm and I really love the rose jam and devonshire cream that came with the scone. My favourite has to be the jelly at the top. I don't remember what kind it was but the flavouring was light and just the perfect finish.

I was elated that I was able to attend this meet. Totally contrary to how I thought it would be like. Everyone was really nice and welcoming; I never felt left alone or alienated in anyway. Thanks to Kaede for hosting this!

Until next time~

P.S. Look what's coming for me!
