Mintyfrills Outfit: Diner Doll

When I edit photos in photoshop I get a bit too into it and end up with this tacky mess of a background, but I love it!  

I recently wore this cute and colorful outfit with my Diner Doll dress from Angelic Pretty. I love how bright and sugary this print is and coording with 3 or more contrasting pastels is my favorite! 

 Diner Doll can be difficult to coordinate because barely any lolita accessories are that bright pink color. If I had a blouse the same shade as the bright pink details that is what I would love to coord this with. Also the colorway is supposed to be Mint but it really is in the no-mans-land between mint and blue, so unless I have the exact shade its going to be difficult to make an outfit with mint or blue. 

So instead I went with a yellow blouse from Metamorphose, it works better with the dress because the yellow in the print is more pale since its the cake and popcorn etc. I don't have any yellow shoes so matching with pink also felt like a good idea! 

Then at this point its pretty easy, since I have pink shoes yellow socks will contrast and pink tights to add more color. I usually try to match my shoes with my bag so my pink melty chocolate bag felt like it went well both in color and theme. At this point I had a bit too little pink on the top side so I went with one of my common fave tricks and used the waist ties from another dress to make a big bow knot on the blouse. 

I was picking between some different headbows and felt like this bonnet was best with the whole look. It has a yellow star on the side too which was a great match! Too get some yellow on my head I added these adorable little chicken clips I made for an easter outfit many years ago. It doesn't quite go with the theme, but they are adorable and the color was right! I also had a bow that was pretty close to the color of the dress which was just perfect! And since some people were asking me, I'm not wearing a wig! Its just my hair, I wore two braids overnight and put up part of my hair in high twin tails to get the volume!

Thanks for reading! Hope you like my outfit and my post, please come back soon again for more! <3

Online Store: Kawaii Honbu

I've been asked by online store Kawaii Honbu to review a few things from their shop! The sell cute clothing, accessories, plushies and anime merch. They sell a lot of stuff from china, I think its a really good option if you feel like shopping services, taobao and everything like that is a bit complicated. They also offer free worldwide shipping with every order, which makes it easy to order just a few things at the time from them. If you just need one thing shipping can make cheap items expensive. 

Here are the items from them:

Plushie $25

Shoes $46

Stockings $17

Bunny Ears $33

So I put together an outfit to try them out! The dress if from kokokim, striped socks from Angelic Pretty and necklace from Vivienne Westwood.

The shoes are pretty comfortable for high heel shoes and they are stable to walk in. The quality feels nice. The plastic part work great for showing off pretty lolita socks. Its a pretty pale shade of pink, I would probably prefer a bit more bright pink but since you can change out the laces that makes them more diverse.

I was very positively surprised by the stockings actually. They are very stretchy both over the legs and in the waist. I often have problems with stockings being uncomfortable over the waist because I'm pretty sensitive and have sensory issues so its a really big deal for me. This also means that I would totally recommend these if you are plus size, they would probably fit comfortably even if you're twice my size. They don't feel fragile either and are soft. The pattern is really cute and doesn't look cheap like many lace style stockings often do.

The bunny ears are cute but not totally my style. They sit comfortably and are not too tight on your head. One thing that I really did like is that it has lace laying under it which really nicely covers my unbleached roots, which is a plus.

The plush is cute, though its not proper San-x which I think you also can see by the cheap price. Its well made and really soft. So its up to you whats most important! I think some of their stuff is from the brands, you can usually see on the price which is which.

The shop owner is based in England so you can easily message them questions in English. Though the items are sent directly from china, which means if they are from different original sources you might not get everything in the same package. A actually good thing with this is its a lot less likely to get hit by customs fees if you are ordering a lot of stuff. And if you live in London they will also be selling at Hyper Japan this summer!

The have a wide variety of items so I recommend to check them out!

Trying to get anything done

Living with chronic depression this is what my life is like every day. I keep trying to do all the things I want to do but there is just no energy. I get so frustrated over all the things I want to do but never finish. I push myself as hard as I can but I still can't seem to do it. I want to finish my videos, post more on my blog, draw more and take more photos.

I'm still going to keep trying, that's really all I can do. Hope you like my drawing!
