ღ Pamyu Pamyu revolution and Milky-chan ღ

♡ Hello cutiepies ♡

Today I felt like writing  a little entry, since I have to lie down because of my hurting back = A= 
Also, I really wanted to write one, because I got my "Pamyu Pamyu Revolution" limited edition CD with photobook (and DVD) today! ♡♡♡ (*°∀°)=3 yaaaaay!


I guess it has been a long time since I updated you on my outfits, so I will show you one of those as well! And I wanted to say that I am not going to keep updating only like this! I am fully aware of that it must be incredibly boring for you all to read about my purchases and outfits, but this blog is still new, and I need to get better at blogging :P So I will try to change that soon  ☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆ (look forward to it!)


 I wanted to wear something a bit more classical than usually, and also wear the one dress I own, and  use the least! My Milky-chan applique dress >w<
I would like to call this outfit :

Classical Milky-chan


Jsk: Angelic Pretty
Shirt: Baby, the star shines bright
Wig: Prisila
Shoes: Björn Borg
Shoeclips: trift store in Edinburgh
Tights: H&M
Accesories: Chocomint, Glitter



The last time I wore this wig, I had it tied up, so now you can see how it looks when I let it hang down! ^^ I really like it, it looks very hime-ish :D


 Look at my pretty shoeclips \(@ ̄∇ ̄@)/



 
Please let me know what you think! ^^




now over to Kyary Pamyu Pamyus new CD! :D I have been so incredibly excited about getting her new CD! When I heard about it a couple of months ago, I immediately decided to preorder it as soon as it was possible.  As you might know, this is her first full CD, and it has almost all of her songs on it ^^ Before this, she has only released singles, and a couple of book, but now she has got both a photobook and a CD at once out >w< whaah :D
 It is really amazing, and I will show you now!


It has such an adorable front page :3 I want a shark on my head now!

 She totally reminds me of Violet Bouregard from Charlie and the chocolate factory! ^^
I love kyary soooo much <3<3<3

✲゚

 This is my favourite outfit! >w< She is so inspirational <3

And these two are my absolute favourite pictures in the whole book x3 I just love how down to earth it looks, but still super weird and cute! I guess it is also because I am obsessed with earthtones and milky pink skintones as of recently :)
  amazing Kyary is amazing <3


I can´t wait to listen to the CD, and watch  the DVD  >w< 
(Have not done it yet, as I only got the CD a couple of hours ago, and been busy :P ) 



It makes me so happy that there is wonderful people like Kyary out there.



t-t-t-t-t-thats all folks!

- Cute Can Kill review & recent haul -

 Some time ago, I ordered a necklace from a friend of mine that has a really cute "homemade brand" that is called CuteCanKill! (or CCK, as it is also called >w<)

So, last wednesday I got a package note in the mail that said I could go pick it up at the mail-office, but because I have been delayed for various reasons over the past days, I didn´t get it until today! >A>
 And I really wanted to do a review on it, because I thought it might be fun! :D 


I also recently got a lot of packages in the mail, with various things inside, so I wanted to update you all on my super kawaii new things >w< hihihi



Now...
In this review I will be talking about these points:

Communication
Shipping
Packing
Quality





Communication:
I ordered this necklace on the 4th of May, and the very next day I got a really sweet message with a confirmation on my order. I also got to choose for myself what kind of shipping I wanted! (because I wanted to get it quickly, I took the registered one >w>). I were so excited, because I have wanted to order something from CCK for the longest time, but because it is a really popular brand, it is very often sold out! ; V; But finally, I were able to snatch up a cute necklace! Elisa were so sweet that she even sendt me a second note with information that she would put a little present in there for me, which I think was incredibly sweet of her >3>  
So really, the order was pretty much done in just a couple of days, and the communication was very quick, polite and super sweet ^^

 5/5



Shipping
As I said before, I choose to get the registered airmail, which got me a code to track my package for security (which I really do prefer!) and it costed me about 7,50€ to the original price of the necklace, which was 12€, making it a total 20,50 € (with the paypal fee), and I don´t think that is bad at all!  
Also, I the order was shipped on the 7th of May, and since it acctually got here last wednesday (which was the 16th) it only took 10 days! I don´t think that is to long at all, when you think about that its coming from Italy, but still, I did get my other package that I ordered  the 8th from Japan, on the 15th, so it could be a little bit faster. I am not going to blame it on the sender though, since the postal service in Norway is extremly bad -.- 

4/5
 
 
 Packing
The package came in a secured, thick envelope with bubblewrap inside, which really made me happy! I acctually struggled a little to get it open at first XD 
Inside I found the cutest little transparent bag with loads of little hearts, leafs and flowers printed on it, and it was secured with a piece of Marie tape!  (●♡∀♡) so KAWAII<3
It was really great! Nothing wrong with this one, acctually extra points for the cutness which made me feel happy and fuzzy inside >w<

5/5




Quality
I just have to say at first, that I were super excited about how the necklace was gonna be like when it came here, and I am not dissapointed at all! The necklace is sooo nice! The resin is sturdy, thick and looks flawless. The pony, the stars and the word baby is securely placed inside of the necklace, and it does not poke out of the resin at all. It is also in perfect condition, with no scrathes at all. 
I love that it´s so super sparkly, and the gradient colour in the background really makes it pop, that suits perfectly with fairy kei >w< The only thing I can say about it that I wished were different, is that I wished the chain was a bit bigger (like the chains themselfs, the length is great!) But that is just a fuzzy little detail that really does not matter xD
☆AND LOOK AT THE SUPER CUTE KEYCHAIN SHE GAVE ME AS A GIFT☆
Oh my gooood >0< I were so excited when I saw it! I really love the sparkly moon, and the little pony >w< It also says hello, in plump, pink letters which looks so sweet <3 
5/5  

All in all, I really reccomend buying from Cute Can kill , it is super lovely getting these kinds of handmade, one of a kind things ^^ It feels really special and nice, and I just love it! I will definitely buy more from this brand ! :D



Now, some time ago, I decided to order some accesories from the ever so cute brand, Chocomint!  
They are a japanese Rakuten based shop( which also has international shipping on the Rakuten international page ) that sells the most adorable accesories, candles, boxes and even note books! ^^

I have only ordered from them once before, so it was really nice to get some new things again. 
I have been drooling over those fuwa fuwa shooting star two way clips for a really long time, so I had to get both colourways >w<. Also, because I really lack bracelets, I got two really cute ones that matches most things that I own! The super cute candy ring was also something that I really needed, because I only have like... 3 cute rings ^^""""  And then there is the huge, puffy melon green bow that I really liked, and the really adorable teddybear bow! ^^ both which are two way clips also! :D


The employees at Chocomint is really good at writing english, and they are always very polite and kind when you mail them ^^ The first time I ordered, they marked my package as a lower price and sendt is a gift even without me asking about it!
 (This time I did, and they happily agreed to that this time also >w<) 
So really, if you want super cute things, that are really cheap, take a look at 


At last, I want to show you my super duper cute book that I got! >w< iiiih
I am so happy to announce that I have finally got the

MISAKO AOKI BOOK!

 
I bought it second hand, but the quality is like a brand new book, with no flaws at all ^^
This book, like the Kyary book is also really easy to understand without knowing japanese, and it has even more tutorials of how to do your hair and makeup! <3
Here are some of my favourite pictures!





 I love these outfits SO MUCH!! O.O


 She is so classy and pretty * v* I love her style <3 


Now, off to homework and drawing a super cute pastelly rainbowcoloured cavity enducing picture!^^


Have you bougth anything exciting lately? :D

☆Adventures in Paris: part 4☆

MORE WALL OF PICTURES = A=
So, I know I said it would be a three part series, but ... 
yeah, it turned out that I needed some more space xD

Well! This is the last part of the Adventures in Paris posts! And, also the one that contains my favourite parts about our trip. The day we spent in Versailles!


We left our hotel at around 10 am,  we had allready decided what route to take on the underground, and we knew where to find our train, so we pretty much just hasted from station to station, until we finally came to the 30 min. long train ride (above the ground) to Versailles. I were really surprised to find that there is acctually a village by Versailles! >.< I always imagined it to be in the countryside, away from other houses :P hehe... But offcourse, I have mostly seen pictures from the garden, and up to the castle, instead of from the street and up to the castle



The weather was rather shifty, and there was a strong wind blowing most of the time, but I was determinded to be able to say that I had visited Versailles in lolita, so I wore my new Fancy Box skirt with the matching headbow.... 
(this was something I rather regretted, as I were an icicle most of the day( TДT)  )

But really, the whole experience totally made up for the wind! (besides, there was sun at times, it just didn´t warm us :P ) 



While we were standing in line to get in,  we got a very good look at the beautiful golden gate ^^ As you can see, it is covered in gold leaf! Imagine working as the polisher of that! O.o


We bought tickets to see everything, including Petite Trianon (which is Marie Antoinettes famous summer house), the gardens and Grand Trianon (which were a slightly bigger summer house for all of them). 

At first, though, we took a wrong turn and ended up going directly to the garden! We did not know that we couldn´t enter the castle from that side, so we ended up walking all the way around it and back again before we realised XD haha

We had decided to not look more closely at the garden just yet, before we had seen the castle, though x3

 

I were so excited, that my heart went doki doki the whole time while we looked around inside! >.< 
You know that kind of awe you feel when you go into a church? Like, you feel like you have to be really respectful and have the utmost of manners? That kind of feeling fell upon me as I stepped inside....
It was really magnificent! *O* Everything was so huge and grand and totally over the top, All the paintings were huge, and the frames even bigger at times. The furniture looked so beautiful, with douzins of carvings of flowers and swirls all over them. We walked from room to room, and everything was so grand that it kind of melted together in the end, into one big mash of pure glory.
Really, it was all .... to big for words to describe

 

This was the crown of the bed of Marie Antoinette and Louie o.o



 
 ♡


 
  I did remember to film a lot while we were inside, but everything was so overwhelming to me that most of the film is just twirling here and there, which only makes you kind of dizzy to watch XD haha... 


Basically, after the "grand tour", we were so blown away that we just decided to stroll in the garden for a while... 

(the charming fault in this picture is because my sister uses an analog camera :D)
 
Now... The cool thing about the garden, was that they had hid away loads of speakers here and there that played classical music that fitted with the rococco era, so that when you walked around, you really felt like you were starring in a movie or something! with background music... 




Soon, we also realized that it was time for some food, Checked out the map that we had gotten as we purchased the tickets, and looked around to see if there might be a café near by. 

After strolling down a cosy alley with beautiful statues all along the sides, we came to a huge pond at the end of it. There was an amazingly cool statue in the middle, with something that looked like a sea god, that came up from the sea in a wagon pulled by horses and enormous monster fish o.o
Right beside the pond, was a really cute little café. We figured that we wanted to sit inside, because we were both quite frozen and we really just wanted to be warm more than anything else XD haha

It was quite full, but the waiters were very efficient, and we soon got a tiny little table for ourselfs...

 
Now, the only thing that really works when you are that cold, is cocoa :) So I got some cocoa, and one of the most delicious club sandwiches I have ever eaten. 
 

Afterwards, life felt a lot easier to bear, and we decided to look around for Petit Trianon, which supposedly was placed somewhere near our current location.

yeah XD Basically, there was an ally that led up to it, and my sister insisted on taking a picture of me in it! And... since I can´t be serious for a second, I blew up my cheeks and did the awkward pose! x3


I must say, that this must have been my favourite part of the tour... Petite Trianon was so cute! ^^ It was a lot smaller than Versailles it self, and there was a lot less people, which made it easier to walk around and see. Everything was really simple, as opposed to the grand "over-the-top-ness" of the main castle. 






We got a good look around the whole place (and I saw a japanese girl dressed in a super cute outfit that looked like it was from Emily Temple Cute! >w<), before we headed out into the beautiful garden behind the house.

This was the prettiest garden in my opinion... it had a man-made river that led up to something that looked like a roman gazebo. 



There was also loads of threes that were in full bloom, and one particular cherry three cought our attention... 





Really, we slowed down and just strolled along the small paths that was all around the place... We started talking about how lovely it would be to wear rococco clothes, and just sip at a cup of tea, or have a picnic... 






 After a while, we came to Grand Trianon also! ^0^
This was the summer house of Louie, but I believe it was also popular just for holding parties as well... 


There was a really long room inside, that we were told used to be for dancing, and all the pictures were painted by the same person! ^^


After looking around in there for a while, we decided that we ough to get back to the hotel soon...
So we began the surprisingly long walk up to the castle again, to get a last look at it all.

Basically... it was all so wonderful and magical that I wished it would never end! 
So, when we started heading home at around 6 pm, I couldn´t do anything but sigh... 


When we got home, we were both so tierd that we just decided to find the closest resurant there was... so we ended up with indian food that night! It was really good, but a bit on the hot side, so I drank a fair share of water ^^" 

Well back in the hotel room, we started packing our bags, and made sure we had everything in place for our trip home the next day (it was all traveling from morning until night, so there really is nothing more to it x3) before we said good night, for the last time in Paris.


It  was a wonderful experience to see Paris with my sister, and I enjoyed every single bit of it! ^^
We both agreed that we would love to do it again sometime, and I really hope we do <3

Thank you very much for reading all of this!^^
I know it was a lot, and especially many pictures, but I could simply not choose >//////>

Have you visited anywhere grand lately?
