❤ My First Liz Lisa Pieces! ❤

This post is long overdue since I bought these items back in October, but I've been super lazy to take photos haha~

I was first introduced to Liz Lisa when I saw Kim Dao's youtube videos about her trips to Japan. Her wardrobe and hauls videos made me fall in love with Liz Lisa.

All of her clothes were just so cute ヽ(。ゝω・。)ノ

I always admired the Himegyaru style and loved the details that were put into each outfit/coord, but since I'm still a college student and I really suck with make up, I didn't think I would be able to pull off the style or even afford it. Liz Lisa primarily sells Himekaji clothing that is both princess like and casual so I thought it was perfect for me! I don't like having to deal with styling my hair or coordinating matching accessories with my outfit, so I really prefer to have a casual style that still looks unique, detailed, and cute. Although Liz Lisa is quite expensive, for me, their clothing is more affordable than most gyaru brands that I know of. ( They also have a ton of sales! )

Anyways, on to the pieces I bought! I ordered directly from Liz Lisa's official website and used Tenso as my shopping service. At first, I was really scared that I would mess up my order, since I couldn't read Japanese, but Emiichan's tutorial on how to buy from TokyoKawaiiLife was very straightforward and really helped. I would recommend that anyone who plans to buy from Liz Lisa and doesn't know how to read Japanese to check out her tutorial. 


These are original stock photos from TokyoKawaiiLife. At the time I purchased, I think only the pink and the white color was available. I decided to go with the white sukapan because white usually matches with everything lol.

When I placed my order, Liz Lisa was having a huge sale to get rid of their Summer/Spring clothing so a lot of clothes in the outlet and the sale section were 30% - 85% off (?) I don't quite remember the exact number. I was surprised this skirt was even on sale! I really love Sukapans because they have pants underneath, but the pants are also an added decoration to the skirt!

The lace design on the pants, made the skirt look cuter and more detailed.^^

The skirt had ribbons on the side!
I really loved the details that were put into this sukapan! I even showed my grandma and she was amazed by how nice it was! \( * O * )/ The material is very soft too and comfortable to wear! I wanted to get the matching top that does with this it, but there was only the blue top available and I thought it would be better if the skirt and top matched (T _ T)...

The second thing I got from TokyoKawaiiLife was a really big sweater from Tralala!



There were 3 colors available: White, Pink, and Camel ^^~ I decided to go with white since I thought it would suit my wardrobe the best!

So warm!
It's a pretty basic sweater~ When I wear it, it's really over sized and warm! I mainly got this sweater because it was on sale for a good price and I knew it was going to be good quality. The material is really soft too which makes it perfect for Winter/Autumn!

And that's it for my first TokyoKawaiiLife order! I didn't want to buy too much since it was my first purchase and I knew Tenso's shipping fees would be pricey as well... The good thing about Tenso is that my package arrived in about a week which is really fast since these items are from Japan~ 

I've been literally spending all my money on Liz Lisa and a bunch of other kawaii things so more blog posts will come soon~(⌒▽⌒ゞ

♥ Dolly Dynamite Review ♥

Okay, short blog post today because I'm soooo tired from work and exams. Christmas is coming up so I've got to work hard and earn money for Christmas presents (and my Liz Lisa fukubukuro hehe)!! Anyways, on to the review!

Usually, I don't like to spend a lot at online stores if it is my first time purchasing from them unless I have read a lot of reliable reviews for that store. I was planning on trying out purchasing some items from storenvy since I was going to buy a seifuku for my sister from storenvy anyway. I read that Dolly Dynamite was a reliable store so I decided to see if she had anything cute instock (。+・`ω・´).

I decided to buy an organza skirt and bunny rabbit tights! Both were very cute!
Embroidered Organza Mini Skirt
Animal Tights ( Bunny Tights)
I had ordered the skirt in the beige color ~ Dolly had a lot of animal tights available! All with free shipping! I actually really liked the kitty tights and the bear face tights, but each pair of tights was about $15 so I couldn't spend too much >< The pricing may seem a little high, but for an item that I can't normally find in at my local mall, I think the price is pretty reasonable. The shipping was free anyway so that was a plus. 

Dolly also had some beautiful and detailed dresses available!! I absolutely loved them, but they were around $50 and I didn't want to spend too much on a dress that I didn't know the quality of. 
Hime Lace Cake Dress
This dress was one of my favorites! I think it is Himekaji style? I'm not sure, but it does remind me of a princess ^^~ I love things that are lacey, frilly, and full of detail! 

So about a day after I purchased, Dolly contacted me and told me that the organza skirt was actually out of stock!! (」゜ロ゜)」She immediately refunded me for the item though so everything was okay~ I was a little disappointed at first, but I understand that mistakes happen! 

Anyways, so I ended up only getting the bunny tights!
The bunny tights are so adorable!! Perfect for making a casual outfit look cuter~
The package is quite cute as well ^^
Overall Rating:

Products: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5/5)

The products weren't damaged at all. Quality was great for its price in my opinion!

Shipping: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5/5)

Took about two weeks to get to my house which is pretty fast! I wasn't really impatient with this order so when it came I was really surprised by how fast it was! Whenever I'm impatient, 2 weeks can feel like a month to me lol. The shipping was free so i was expecting it to take longer than 2 weeks.

Communication: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5/5)

I guess i can't really give this one an accurate rating since I didn't really communicate personally with Dolly, but she did inform me about the skirt being sold out so I guess that counts as communication haha o.o

Customer Service: ☆☆☆☆☆ (5/5)

Don't really know how should rate this since, again, I didn't personally communicate with Dolly. She e-mails her customers back quickly if there is a problem with their order though!

☆Dolly Dynamite is a reliable store and has a great variety in stock. Most of the items are reasonably priced as well and a lot of the items are on sale now. The only complaint i really have is that I think the number of stock per item should be monitored more carefully? I just think it is more reassuring for the buyer and easier for the seller if the listing of stock on the website matches the actual amount of stock the seller has.Overall, a pretty nice shop ^^ You can check out her storenvy here! ☆
