Meeting Shira, Larme Facebook group and more Fluff

Its about time I updated! I have been editing this post forever and swimming in a sea of orders from my shop. But no more, I'm taking time to write this in my break! 

About 2 weeks ago I met up with Shira~ A super sweet girl, pretty, talented and the only Larme lover that I got to know. That sounds great, you say? Well Shira moved to Germany a while ago, before I met her, and so she is my far away Larme buddy~ <3

I honestly felt very shy to ask her to hang out, especially since she was only here for a week and she didn't know me besides Instagram photos. But she gladly said yes, we met up in Dizingof Center and had a great time shopping, chatting and sitting at a coffee shop ^^  




We later met up with Shira's friends, who were super nice and fun to talk to~!


If you want to see Shira's awesome fashion taste - look her up on Instagram: biiadayo
You'll love her taste, for sure!

What I wore the day before, also wearing my new pair of puff earring! 
What I wore:
Blouse: Bonbon21, but heavily altered by me.
Skirt: Bodyline
Shoes: Bodyline
Earring: Handmade


I made these from Fake Fur pompoms I ordered online. So many girls in the Israeli Asian Fashion group liked them and asked me to sell these in my booth! Such a fun surprise!
These are super popular in japan the last year, and I honestly cant believe it took me so long to actually make a pair.
I made a list of girls who wished for a these, and ordered more Pompoms and better metal hooks. I hope they will get here soon and that they will like them as much as I like mine ^^

I also got to know the relativly new Facebook Larme-Kei group. Shira sent me an invitation to join, and I recognized a few gals there from Lolita fashion. I posted a few posts there, but I honestly still feel newbie in this type of fashion, since I've loved it for just a year. 
I hope to get to know more Larme inspired girls and have more inspiration through them. They also upload scans from Larme Magazine and such, which is awesome. 
Shira sent me a few photos from the latest Larme Magazine she got and a Swankiss mook.... It was soooooo pretty! *3* I really want to order one too soon. 

Talking of Swankiss - Added Swankiss inspired spot: from Rosh Hashana!
I made the dress from a white lace fabric that cost all in all about 7 dollars. such a bargain~ 
Dress: Hand made
Shoes: Bodyline 
Socks: Ebay
Chocker&earring: Hand made



Beside that lovely day, I went to a party, a goth sort of club, with Oded.
It was loads of fun, it's been so long since I went clubbing! 
What I wore: 

Dress: Daniela store (Israeli made fashion).
Lace top: Thrift shop
Boots: Central station in Tel Aviv
Straps harness: Hand made
spiked headband: Ebay

Thats it for now~ I have so much more to show, from the dress I got at Zara and 11/11 buys! 
But I'll leave those to the next Post. 
Lots of Luv ♥

Larme Kei and cute Fluffy inspirations

So... one of my new all time loves at the current moment is Larme Kei! 
Derived from the relatively new Larme Magazine, the fashion is a collaboration of sweet, innocent, mature and sexy at the same time. Heavy hooded eyes with red lips, but sweet touches throughout an otherwise mature 50's inspired coord. It is describes as Sweet and Girly, Kawaii, Feminine and Darling.






I find it has a charming and classic vibe of Lolita but without the poof, and a more natural feel to it, since there is hardly any use in over the top colors. Mainly white, black, gray and brown, with touches of reds and deep blues. sometimes mainly Pastel but still very far off from the OTT feel of Fairy Kei. White, black or cream colored hosiery, which at times are worn above the cloths (like a lace top above a sweater). A lot of Cherries, strawberries and other type of cute fruits are also used as motifs. All in all? very interesting!




There seems to be a divide about certain looks who are in fact Fairy Kei, or the style of a once Gyaru brand, and now considered a Larme brand - Swankiss.
Swankiss is an old brand, heavily featured in Larme Magazine and at a higher price range then say, Liz Lisa, it seems to also be targeted at older shopping crowd. 
Swankiss shop employees wear a very fluffy, sweet and sometimes very colorful clothes, with colorful big hair and sometimes face glitter in their company events. Add to the slight confusion is the recent Japanese trend in blush - higher, all the way to the eyes, wide and deep blush in reds and pinks.








Face stickers and abundant glitter examples:








This new blush trend is a vital part of Larme fashion - as the name is "Tear" in french and the goal of this look is to look like a crying, innocent young woman.




I have tried to emulate and try the fashion in recent months, collecting more sweet, white and charming cloths. It seems however that no matter how much blush I put on, it is never visible enough in photos, making me wonder just how much blush do Japanese Larme girls actually wear for it to be seen in photos so prominently?
Here is a few of my tries to emulate the style~




In my next post I'll write about meeting the only other Israeli Larme lover I recently met - Shira~ And post some more Larme inspired coords I recently wore.

Hope you enjoyed reading and watching~
Lots of Luv !♥

A Loli day With Regina

With my Bodyline sailor dress waiting in the closet, and a visit from Regina, I decided to wear it even though we didn't leave the house XD
 We had a great day~ mostly discussing Lolita fashion, which I hadn't done in years like that, out of a Meet up environment.

What I wore: 
Hair bow: Hand made
Dress: Bodyline
Blouse: offbrand puff sleeved top
Socks: Ebay
Shoes: Bodyline Rocking Horse

Close up: 

I usually don't like the combination of my pink hair with classic Lolita, I also think this Pink and Green doesn't match, but I wasn't in the mood for a wig or a big bun.

Regina came wearing this enviable pretty coord:

Headband and OP: Innocent World
Underskirt: Little Dipper - Taobao.
Socks: Bodyline
Everything else: offbrand


With Regina, taking selfies:
And a close up on my Shoes:

I had a great time and I really want to host a Lolita event in my apartment now, but whenever that may happen it will be small one. I don't think my living room can host more then 5-8 people? ~_~;
Oh well, we'll see in the future~ 

Hoped you liked reading, 
Lots of luv~ ♥
