Brand Feature: Neon Moon

The Korean brand Neon Moon is going to have a popup shop in Laforet in Harajuku opening today! Neon Moon store owner and designer Lee Soso takes inspiration from Pipi Longstocking and american 60s and 70s fashion. She also takes inspiration from Michel Gondry and Wes Anderson films. In her store she sells vintage toys and trinkets in addition to her own designs. 

Every four months she introduces a new concept to her shop and changes the display of her shop and makes designs to match with it. The theme right now is 'Pink Paradise'! I really love the whole collection, I hope I can get my hands on something from this collection because it is just amazing. All the different colorways are really cute.

I really like the style of the outfits in the photo shoot for her new collection. Its a really interesting mix of retro and very cute pop style. I just feel like a lot of the pieces can go with many different styles!

So if anyone is around Tokyo don't miss going to this popup shop in laforet! Also check out Neon Moon on their instagram.~

Preppy Cute (x Barbie)

More cute Barbie clothes for the laforet Barbie event. The two top ones are by Dolly & Molly, the bottom dress is from OLIVE des OLIVE and the barbiedoll is by la belle Etude. I totally love the DM dresses, they would both be super cute for just casual outfits, the top left one is my favorite of the bunch! The dress for the Barbie doll is really adorable too.

Nile Perch/Faline Tokyo x Barbie

Nile Perch and Faline Tokyo both made super cute sweaters with Barbie prints for the laforet x Barbie event! I think these would look really cute with Fairy Kei or just comfy casual for anyone who likes cute pastel clothes. The retro feel in the print makes them even more perfect for Fairy Kei. I definitely like these!

Metamorphose x Barbie

Here we have Metamorphose's contribution to the laforet Barbie event! As usual Meta goes for a really different and bold direction. There is something really classy about the pale pink with black combination. All in all its a really cute set! I think the print might be a little bit too simple in the shapes, I personally prefer the Angelic Pretty dress. But then again I'm always in love with everything Angelic Pretty creates. What do you think of the dress? Would you buy it if you could? More Barbie designs to come!

Laforet x Barbie

As I mentioned earlier there will be a Barbie event in laforet with 20 brands there doing collabs with Barbie, there seems to be some great stuff coming up for sales, so sad that it only will be sold there. But at least we get to see the cool designs different brands made. For those of you that don't know, Laforet is a huge shopping mall in Harajuku, they house a wide selection of brands and a lot of Lolita brands have their stores there. So its a must see if you go to Tokyo. Some of the brands are: Angelic Pretty, Baby the stars shine bright, metamorphose, Algonquins, h.Naoto, Emily Temple Cute, ghost of harlem, Swimmer and Super Lovers to name a few. Its interesting seeing brands taking the idea of Barbie and designing something that still fits their brands aesthetic. I will be posting more about the different Barbie designs so be sure to check bad for that!

Speaking of Barbie trends Angelic Pretty just announced that they are releasing a special colab Barbie dress. Too bad from anyone outside of Japan since its a LaForet special, but hey, a girl can dream! This dress is delightful in its simplicity.
