Does anyone know where to get these kind of shoes with a shorter heel?
Cannot do high heels ;_;
This dress was posted in a previous thread and people seemed to like it, it's on sale at the moment for £8 but is out of stock online. If you have a local New Look it might be worth checking! I kept checking back on the website and certain sizes would sometimes become available, i guess if people return it. I managed to order it the other day.

Here's some similar ones, I think maybe the last ones are closest. They are often called ghillie shoes.
http://www.asos.com/Carvela/Carvela-Aid-Nude-Suede-Ghillie-Lace-Up-Mid-Heel-Shoes/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=6442510
Those are pretty nice as well. Might be worth checking Topshop too cause they usually have a few pairs in a similar style.
>>8926754
I had a look at the last thread and the FAQ (but its empty).
What would say are some of the major features of this fashion? High waisted stuff is one I seem to see, and tight fitting lacey tops?
It's really lovely and kind of how I dress day to day.
Sorry for the newfag questions!
>>8927725
Major features: ultra girlyness without being uguu kawaii puke, cute but mature. So although you have ribbons, fluffy pompoms, frilled panels, tulle and pastels you also have pencil skirts, heels, red lipstick, black lace and arrow through heart motifs. Super feminine classic and vintage looks sometimes with a contemporary take. Playfully seductive but classy. Yes there are nymphette/Lolita themes but this is by no means definitive Larme; in fact there is no definitive Larme as it reflects current trends as long as they are sweet/girly and the magazine itself often just uses clothes and outfits to get a story across. If you want the major features in regards to actual fashion items, alot of westerners will site the above mentioned fluffy pompom earrings, high waisted pencil skirt, corset style lace up ribbon feature, fluffy heels/platforms, lace top, cute bag. There are so many looks though, best sources are outfit apps or sites like Wear and Coordisnap and of course the magazine itself.

Would anyone be interested in scans from the winter 2015 Lillilly lookbook? Not sure if it's online
>>8928514
I most certainly would
>>8926773
H&M has a similar kitten heel/flat shoe with a similar thin cross strap.
quality shoes? what are good brands?
I don't want to buy shitty mallcore shoes
I walk a lot and don't want the heel to die after a couple of month's use
I have a big foot (Size 11 in the US) could someone link some shoes?
Also aliexpress Larme-able stuff?

Are you only after shoes from actual larme brands or anything that would go with the style?
Bumping with some original bits 'n bobs to try to save the thread.
A friend of mine picked up a copy of larme 021 whilst on holiday in Japan, I loved how it was tied with plastic to help keep its structure. I tried to snap a picture but the cat tried to sit on it. So it's ended up as an attempt at larme-like photography featuring my cat's ass.
>>8937305
Hnnnnngh that Verybrain dress
I'm really tempted to get something of theirs but I have no idea what the fit is like, and desu I'm not sure if larme has much of a second hand market
>>8937853
Ah I love the subtle coolness of Verybrain, its unusual and quietly badass prints like this that makes their stuff really stand out.
>>8937853
> I'm not sure if larme has much of a second hand market
the secondhand market for larme brands is pretty much exclusively on fril.jp and japanaese mercari They're smart phone flea market apps. You will need a specialized ss to buy from them. I've used kairai in the past but there are a few others. I'll see if I can come up with them later. I know Japonica apparently also does it but for a huge fee.
>>8938315
I meant reselling things myself - if I splurged for one of their dresses and it turned out not to fit I'm not sure if I'd be able to successfully sell it. Not sure how efficient the fb group would be and I haven't really seen much larme stuff in the b/s/t thread. On a side note I was considering getting some stuff from mercari so if you have ss suggestions I'd be glad to hear them
>>8938323
Like I said kairai is the one I've used. Here a bit slow though so I'm in the market for a new one. I'll let you know if I find anything.
As for reselling Larme brands, it's pretty much a crapshoot in the western community. you better be sure you want something really badly because you are not going to get back anywhere near what you paid for it.
Sorry for the dumb question, but are there any lolita jumperskirts that could work in larme coordinates as well?
Where can I get cute clip on earrings for larme? They don't seem to be too common in the West and ordering them from Japan is really expensive to my country (draconian customs laws typical of Europe but worse)
>>8938735
Where do you live anon? I mean if you'all be ordering them from abroad anyway it doesn't really make a difference what country you buy them from...
>>8938799
Not really, I don't pay customs for European stores or American stores with registered locations in Europe (like F21). Etsy, eBay etc are also okay, but Tenso, FJ and Buyee all charge exorbitant fees for a small pair of earrings for my location.
>>8937310
Loves the outfit of the right! What brand is it?
Going thrifting tomorrow, any key staple pieces I should grab for spring/summer? Styles and cuts that are supposed to be in this year?
Also, any tips of things of how to tell if something is larme-able or not would be super handy.
So far I've been keeping all my co-ords to myself as I don't think my wardrobe is nice enough to make decent outfits.
>>8938851
>loves
Meant love (I'm so stupid)
>>8938851
From what I can make out, earth music and ecology and titty and co and then something else.
>>8938315
I'd be super interested if you'd review the ss's that will do this.
>>8938693
You'd think lolita items would work well for Larme, but honestly you're not any more likely to find lolita that works for Larme than normie clothes. Most lolita just has too much frill; Larme tends to be more subdued.
I really can't say I can think of any JSKs that would work, but some of Innocent World's plainer OPs would be alright (see pic related), I'd still go with little to no petti though.
Also if you have anything recent from MILK, that could be nice.
>>8938852
Off the shoulder tops are really popular right now and good for spring/summer. Gingham is also popular in larme any time but especially for spring/summer. High-waisted skirts and high-waisted pants with a retro feeling print. >>8937310 Is a great example of what to look for.
As for details spend a lot of time going through the magazine and popular larme brands. Going through the FB group is also a good way to see good larme outfits next to bad ones. Stay away from things that are too basic, too busy, and poorly fitted (unless you can modify them). Look for pieces with ruffles, puffed sleeves, bows, high-waists, and fabrics like lace, leather, chiffon, satin, sheer fabrics is a good start. I personally try to picture if a piece would look in my favorite style of outfit (layered top, pencil skirt, fluffy sandals).
>>8939293
>>8938852
I posted a few coords a couple of threads back, and all of the items that people asked for most were offbrand normalfag items, mostly picked up from ebay and charity shops, but originally from topshop, new look, primark etc.
Normalfag fashion has had a real sixties revival over the past year or so (I think it's moving onto seventies now though, especially with regard to colour palette and patterns) So things like bardot tops, gingham, oversized woollen coats, pastel coloured items, scalloped hems/edges, etc etc are pretty easy to find. The key is to think of keywords and search terms from the perspective of what they're called in western fashion, and the era they were most popular in.
Dropping some more images from larme 021.

Quite a few threads back an anon asked me for the source of a skirt I posted, I've just found the same one on ebay. If you're still here anon, here you go:
>http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bank-black-and-white-gingham-checkered-skater-skirt-size-10-BNWT-/141942611610?hash=item210c705e9a:g:C2oAAOSwAvJW-Q4X
>>8940759
Thank you anon! I've been lurking for a while now hoping someone would post something similar, so thank you so much!

Silent Siren confirmed for being hideously catchy and frequently wearing larme appropriate clothing.

>>8938735
Fellow non-pierced ear larme lover here! I know that you said that ordering from Japan is expensive, but Paris Kids items are super cheap (~$3 USD) and have a ton of cute options. I'd say about 90% of my earring collection is from them because they're adorable, sturdy, and inexpensive!
http://global.rakuten.com/en/search/?k=%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A4%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0&tl=100486&sid=pariskids&l-id=gs_product_search
If that really isn't an option for you, you can buy earring converters! They don't always work properly (and can look weird) but I've had success with them. You can check on Amazon, I got a pack of 100 for like $8 USD. It can convert any post-style earring that you like and is really easy.
>>8943153
Alternatively, if you can be bothered, you can buy a wirecutter and some clip on earring backs in bulk from somewhere like ebay, then you can snip off the posts from the back of the studs you like, and then glue them to the clip on backs.
Could this possibly work if coordinated in a Larme way? It looks vintage-y and is fairly simple.
>>8944804
It's from Innocent World, and I've heard their stuff is pretty good for wearing casually, so no/very light petticoat should be alright. I'm not sure yet as to what I'd wear with it though.

I'm something of a prolific ebay browser, and I see a lot of very larme appropriate items that I either don't like/need or wouldn't fit me. Would anons be interested in me posting links to things I find? Most of the time they just go unbidded on until the person doesn't list them again, seems a shame.
>>8947202
!! please, I'm the worst at internet shopping and I'd really appreciate the help!
>>8947237
Most of these are gonna be auctions and UK stuff, (as that's where I am and ebay filters the results) so bear that in mind for the sizes listed.

Fuck. Sorry gulls.
Please gulls help me!
I'm saving links for my next taobao order and one thing I had added was a >red sleeveless dress<. I remember someone posted a picture in a earlier larme thread.
Can you, anon, please post that picture again? I need it to image search :( The seller I saved stopped selling them. I'm heartbroken.
>>8947567
And now I can't write.
To clarify, someone posted a "I'm going to buy this from Taobao" picture, and the dress was in that collage.
>>8945837

>>8948521
No problem, I'm a little scared that I remembered + found it so fast though haha. A tonne of shops are selling it iirc so if you haven't already reverse image search it to find more reliable listings.
>>8948538
I tried with image search, but it didn't give me anything. However, I found one more from the store in the first link!
>>8948521
Hey, anon! That was my dress. Unfortunately, the seller no longer has it in stock. I apologize! I hope that you can find a nice one in the other stores linked!
>>8950023
Thank you for letting me know!
Just got a semi-large order in from DreamV/Mon Lily! Is anyone interested in a review, or is everyone pretty sick of them?
Regardless, I have to say that I'm super impressed with this jumper skirt... thing! It's beautifully made with heavy silk, lining, and fits like a glove. I don't usually splurge on purchases, but this was definitely worth it. I'm eyeing some other pieces now...
>>8950544
Is it actually a skirt? it looks like culottes from the image.
>>8950551
You're right. They're culottes.
>>8950544
I'd love a review!
>>8950544
I also would love a review, and if you don't mind it would be really useful to know what size you are and the sizes you ordered. I want to order from Mon Lily but I'm just worried about sizing in general.
Happy to hear that you anons wouldn't be annoyed by a review! I know Mon Lily has been pretty popular is all, so I figured people might be sick of hearing reviews regarding them.
Sorry for the kind of crappy collage! The photos on the first and third columns are what I ordered. The photos in the second and forth column are what I received. Risa's in the bottom right to take up the remaining room haha. I haven't ironed or steamed anything yet because it's midterms week.
To preface, I am 5'5" (165cm) and 115lb (52kg). I ordered everything in a size medium, even though a few items recommended me to go larger for my broad shoulders. Everything fits well, though! In general, everything is made out of thick, quality fabric and has no issues whatsoever. I really feel like I invested in quality pieces, even though I only paid about $240 for the whole order, shipping included. Once shipped, it got to me in 3 days from Japan via EMS.
One awesome thing about DreamV/mon lily is that they give you a free shipping coupon which even works internationally! I'm not sure if it's EMS though, but I might check on it since shipping was $75...
Do let me know if you need any worn pictures. I'd be happy to take them. Same for any in-depth review or detail pictures!
>>8952568
They shipped all of the correct colors, by the way! I just used whatever stock photo was most convenient and best quality.
Beware that the black lace shirt is a little short - it doesn't hit your hips. Also the white tee looks really crappy but it's INSANELY soft and well-fitting!
>>8952568
> Risa's in the bottom right to take up the remaining room haha
Kek before I read this I was gonna ask if you ordered sweet dolly Risa but received gothic dark Risa.
>>8952568
How are skirt lengths?
is it super short on you? can taller people where it?
I have this super cute dress from wego with a white fluffy heart on it but it's literally a belt downstairs and it makes me want to cry.
Anyone have pieces from Amavel?
>>8952609
kek I'd keep her either way!
>>8952683
The skirt lengths are accurate to the website. I just checked my measurements against theirs and it fits perfectly. Most of the skirts are 44cm long, with the culottes being 50cm without the straps and the garter skirt being 27cm.
They almost always supply the model's height in the pictures, and she's usually around 165cm, so I usually nab it if it looks good on the model.
Also pictured is the white tee with a black bra underneath to show its opacity. I totally wasn't just too lazy to change to a flesh colored bra or undershirt.
Is there a site or archive that lists measurements for clothes that have not been in-stock for ages? I want to buy a ton of stuff from fril.jp, but obviously not many sellers list the measurements. I don't want to take a risk of stuff not fitting me. Google isn't helpful either, not even in Japanese.
Or alternatively, if any seagulls own the Honey Cinnamon apron-dress on the right, I would appreciate knowing the waist and bust measurements.
>>8954885
Do you have an SS in mind? They could ask for you. You could also look at the measurements of similar current stuff through honey cinnamon's site. Should be pretty similar.
Or you could ask sara Mari. I think she has the dress.
>>8954885
I've had some luck with googling the brand name and general terms related to the item, sometimes you can find shop pages for out of stock items that are still up or auction listings where someone listed the measurements. Alternatively what brands were you thinking of buying from? maybe someone can give you a rough idea of the sizing for that brand. What ss were you thinking of using btw?
>>8954903
>>8954910
I've made one order in the past though From Japan, but back then I only bought items that I could find measurements of. I guess I could ask them to find out the measurements for me, thank you for the advice anons! (Normally I'd use Tenso but I've heard forwarding services don't always work with fril.jp, so I didn't even try).
Honey Cinnamon's sizing has been a hit and miss for me in the past, some items would fit me fine, some not. I've tried Googling measurements for that one apron-dress in particular but couldn't find anything. For my next order I'm going to ask my SS to find out the measurements for me if they can.
>>8954981
Are you at all considering selling the items that don't fit you? Might be interested
>>8952820
I only have a dress from them.
>>8955229
Sorry anon, I've already sold all the items that didn't fit me
>>8956012
Do you mind me asking where/how? I've been trying to sell some larme stuff but not very successfully
>>8956027
Just for personal friends.
I'd imagine some other anons on these threads would be interested in buying second-hand stuff if you haven't been able to sell them anywhere else.
>>8955231
How is it, and do you have pictures? I'm interested in first-hand experience.
It seems like Otaku Mode raised their prices... I wanted to get some things from Ank Rouge and Swankiss, but I swear, the prices went up by at least $15 to $20

This is an old dress and an old picture (2014 or 2015)
Is not super short for my height (170cm) and is very confortable ( a bit roomy?).
Hope this helps a bit, I don't think I have new pieces from them.
>>8960519
Thanks gull, it's cute! Was thinking about something like this from them, reasonably cheap at 5000 yen.
>>8955216
This is beautiful but idk where I'd wear it
Has the magazine ever done clubbing/night life outfits? Also generally requesting any Larme outfits that would be appropriate for dancing and that sort of thing.
>>8960365
I wouldn't be surprised. The yen is starting to go back up in relation to the dollar.
>>8961424
I think the slightly more coquettish type looks with hints of pin-up and fetish, lacing details etc (the kind of stuff that may be a bit risqué or 'out there' for during the day) would make great clubbing outfits.
>>8961435
not to mention if you're from the UK, the pound is weak as hell against the yen right now
>>8960963
No problem!
That dress looks very cute! Hope you get it!
I really love the look of Larme, but I'm really intimidated by it. It's really far out of my comfort zone.
>>8961990
Yeah coke whore kei is pretty intimidating.
>>8937296
The cat butt makes it even cuter, ha ha.
>>8937296
It's wrapped like that to stop people from reading it in the store
>>8960388
I think it would be ok to post them here. There's also the bst thread but really non lotitas don't really sell there much so I'd just post in this thread.
>>8938852
Invest in some good basic pieces that go well with many outfits!
>>8962046
That seems so freaking obvious to me now that it almost hurts, derp. I genuinely thought it was something they did when you got to the counter (seems a bit time-consuming as it looks hand-tied?) and thought it was help to keep it in shape during transit (which It did, honest guv, at least according the the friend that picked it up for me).
>>8962205
I'll bite then. Reposting from the other thread:
Black platform Mary Janes, size 22.5 - £22
Dusky pink DreamV tote bag, fits A4 size - £15
Greyish blue Mon Lily turtleneck - £25
The turtleneck is really flattering but I don't really wear that colour at all...

>>8964256
What shoes did you get?
Btw, if any gulls missed out on the Risa collab (I did and was incredibly bitter because I'm fangirl trash) E hyphen Bonbon are now taking reservations for pic related, not sure for how long though.
I'm going to Tokyo (and Sapporo) next month. I have a big list of brand stores to get to, but what would really be nice is some second hand shops. Do any of you gulls know any second hand shops in Tokyo that often sell Larme brands? Best I've seen is a couple websites that don't have real storefronts and the occasional MonLily or LilLily dress on Alice Fururun.
>>8964715
These are the shoes I bought. Both are rather mature, but I think they'll fit larme-looks quite well. Rounder tip would have looked better for the black ones, but hey, they're still good.
>>8965893
I like the black ones! where are they from?
I've been having a really hard time finding shoes for larme in general because there isn't much in normie shops and I don't really know which Japanese brands are any good
>>8965911
The black ones are from Topshop!
Finding shoes pretty much depends on where you're from and how big your feet are. I'm a Eurofag, so I have used sites like Zalando and ASOS, because they have a lot of different brands.
If you can fit into Japanese brands, Mon Lily and Bubbles offer affordable shoes. I have found the quality to be solid and the shoes have been comfortable to wear, too. If you want chunky/platform shoes, then definitely go with Japanese brands. Not that many normie brands still offer good-looking chunky shoes.
Pic is my favourite shoes from Bubbles and Mon Lily at the moment, I think all of them would fit larme.
Other anons could probably share their tips for larme-able shoes as well.
>>8966021
Thanks anon, I'll have a look. I wear a UK 3 so can fit Japanese brands, I just find Asian sizing really baffling (in b4 just measure your feet, all of my shoes seem to have different insole measurements)
>>8968591
>>8968594
>>8968595
>>8968596
>>8968591
That's why you measure your foot, not your shoes. Trace it on a piece of paper then measure the outline.
>>8968608
Okay, I'm probably being super obtuse now, but if I have multiple pairs that fit me well, they'd have roughly the same sole length, wouldn't they?
>>8968623
Unless they were all exactly the same kind of shoe, of course they wouldn't. The sole length is entirely dependant on the sole, it can be a completely different length for two very similar shoes just because one is slightly taller - If you just draw around the bottom of the shoe, it doesn't take the slope caused by the heel into account.
>>8968623
One of my friends was confused about this before and i sent her something like this which cleared it up for her. If youre confused about the same thing, hopefully it will make sense for you!
>I know it shit, im tired
>>8952864

My friend brought it from japan for me but she bought it a size too small so I have to let this baby go.
Swankiss LP JSK
Doesn't fit me in the bust so I'll have to let this go too...
$70 or best offer, tag included, never worn
>>8969689
just so you know,
the og skirt is about 3000 yen less( still available to buy) , so you might want to cut the price.
>>8969689
sizes on the JSK?
>>8968885
Onespo has one that's kind of similar
http://fashionwalker.com/brand/onespo/item/OSP0116S0132
>>8969689
What's the quality/material of the skirt like? Too small for the one you're selling anon but I was considering ordering one of the plain pencil ones
>>8969726
That's the price my friend gave me. I honestly just want to get rid of it, so I'm willing to offer free worldwide shipping.
>>8969726
Bust 80cm waist 75cm.
The JSK should fit a 84cm and smaller bust. For comparison my bust is 89cm. Wearing it is just too tight on my chest.
>>8969729
I think the black one looks like a thin shiny pleathery material? The pink one has a smooth canvas texture and is actually very stretchy and accomodating. Still a size too small for me though.
>>8926773
Zara has some.
>>8969729
Thanks anon for the skirt link!
>>8969689
What's the waist on the skirt?
>>8971008
waist 60cm hips 81cm. The fabric is a stretchy material so it's pretty accomodating.
This may be a dumb question, but what would one consider larme music? I think Petite Meller fits the cut.
>>8973362
Dropped the image
>>8973362
Some French pop music I consider larme. It probably helps that the world larme is French though lol.
>>8973362
There was a discussion about this in the fb group actually! Im at work now but if you're interested I can see if I can find it and list some of their suggestion later
My personal suggestion is Strawberry Switchblade! Their clothing style isn't very larme at all but it's very sweet yet melancholy music.
Have any of you guys read the Petite Dollies blog that Luka and Eri from the fb group are writing? I haven't had a chance yet but it looks like it will be good. There are surprisingly a fair amount of larme blogs out there!!!
>>8973366
no not her, please never her
>>8973366
She looks like Michael Cera.
>>8973526
Ina Guardian article about her:
> And does that YouTube commenter who describes her as an “Aryan pedo nightmare” maybe have a point?
>>8973526
How come? I've never heard before so quite curious. Not sure if you can talk about something like larme music but if that's a thing I'm pretty sure Francoise Hardy would fit the bill 100%
>>8973518
I've had a look and it seems to be really decent! Care to drop links to some more blogs anon, I'm after some quality content
>>8973420
That's fair!
>>8973518
Yes, please do. If you don't mind, I'd like a link to the FB page.

>>8973553
Search don't cry baby on facebook!
As for Petite meller, i don't like the most recent song she put out but I don't think she's bad at all. Tbh she reminds me more of a grandma than of a little kid.
Some things im thinking about ordering, not all larme but thought people might like a few things

Sauce on the gingham top please?

That makes more sense now anon, thanks.
Speaking of shoes I kind of bit the bullet and took my chances with pic related as a spur of the moment purchase, I'm not sure what to coord them with though. They have a heeled platform which isn't very visible in this photo. I was thinking a dress with darker red and pink accents, in a looser (babydoll?) shape, could work well, but I haven't been able to find anyting like that. Anyone got any suggestions?
>>8973362
Pretty much all the music Amo posted in her blog gives me Larme vibes. I personally don't think you can get 'Larme music' but if the music is sung by a female singer, and has whimsical or melancholy or somewhat angsty feels that goes a long way in my book. Ultimately it comes down to the preference of the listener, I have a Larme playlist, its one uniting feature is all the artists are female, and the overall feel is super feminine but most of the music doesn't fit into the same genres.

I have similar shoes to that and I like to wear them with a black sheer skirt and then some other subtle velvety item
>>8975968
I have no idea, but what did you get?!
Also, a general question...what is everyone's favorite brand? I'm really into Rosemarie seoir for accessories, but clothing wise Risa's ehyphen bon bon collection is nice. I don't see much of crayme but I love the photoshoots they do and would like to get into them.
>>8977919
See pic related, I'm having some second thoughts about the skirt but I guess it's simple enough that you can't really go wrong with it. I'm really loving the new collection overall, it looks much more wearable than the first one.
As for favourite brands Crayme looks amazing but their website has been out of stock for ages... Currently trying to find some stuff secondhand. I absolutely love Verybrain because it's the kind of style I can see myself wearing even 4-5 years from now. The prices though...
Also, thanks for the shoe tips (same anon)
Sorry for the delay in replying!

I am definitely a stan for the e hyphen bonbon Risa collection. I bought a few things from the collection knowing full well the quality wouldn't be quite enough to justify the price annnnd I was right. But I'm so happy to own something from ~Risa~. It's definitely a status thing. I still really love the stuff I did get but I'm hoping I can pick up other pieces later on once the novelty wears off and they drop in price.
I really love katie accessories, though not so much their clothing. It's out of my price range for the most part anyway.
I also really like LilLily but I'm at a loss as to how to wear most of it myself. All their stuff looks so comfy.
I also like rosary moon but I don't see it around very much. I really want that one top xoxsaramari has with the keyhole and the pompom.
I used to really like honey cinnamon but it seems a little too juvenile to me now. It works better for the yume kawaii/yurayura style now.
Eatme also has some lovely pieces.
>>8978264
I LOVE Crayme. I own quite a bit from them. I'm so disappointed that they've pretty much dropped off the face of the earth. What the hell happened? I want a new collection! I hope you can find some of their stuff secondhand.
Ugh verybrain. Agreed that they are gorgeous but that price tag is insane. Has anyone come into contact with verybrain clothing in the flesh? Is it worth it's ridiculous inflated price tag?
>>8979233
What did you get from the new Bonbon so far? I'm really tempted to buy a few more things when the second part of the summer collection gets released in a few days (my boner for Risa is strong) but yeah it seems quite overpriced. I wouldn't be so sure about the sales though as basically the only things left from the spring collection atm are those bizarre jumper dresses which don't even look flattering on the model.
I have a LilLilly shirt and I have to say I can see what you mean, it's quite tricky to coord but the material is lovely, so in terms of quality I'm happy with it.
>>8979007
Thanks anon
Really want to get that skirt but can anyone better versed in Ali speak explain what the hell microbomb is supposed to mean? I'm trying to find out if the waistband has any stretch at all
>>8979786
I bought the "bizarre looking jumper dress" hahaha. I love it. Personally I think it looks adorable.
Oh and I wasn't talking about sales, I was talking about secondhand. For right now secondhand is still really expensive. I'm waiting for secondhand prices to go down. People don't want to part with their pieces yet.
>>8979789
Nice 1. Which one did you get? I was considering getting some comfy larme stuff but damn the stock photos really didn't sell those dresses well.
Yeah right now secondhand stuff is as or more expensive than buying new. I haven't seen much of it around to be honest. I'm after this fucking sailor top that sold out like 3 times but not sure if I'll be able to find it.
>>8979786
>explain what the hell microbomb is supposed to mean
I wondered that too, I thought perhaps its to do with the fastenings?
One of the reviews said "The skirt material is NOT flimsy quality and is of a stretchy, suede-like texture"
>>8979793
I would expect things to start popping up more readily on mercari and fril and the like after the summer. It'll probably take a season or two for the older items in the collection to lose their appeal and become more available.
I got the jumper dress in pink. The fabric feels quite nice and it's very soft and comfy. I like the weird not quite under bust look of it too. I can tell why it would put some people off though haha.
>>8979894
If it's suede-like, could micro bomb be related to microfiber?
>>8979953
Whoa big cultural barrier there, I'm in the UK so pic attached is what would be called a jumper dress here (that's one of the bizarre ones I meant), what you posted would be a pinafore probably. I was actually thinking of getting the one you did but I figured it would odd if you were more busty.
Gonna dump some Crayme now
>>8981799
>>8981802
>>8981806
>>8981811
>>8981799
Ahh sorry for the confusion! I forgot about the jumper=sweater thing. Honestly I also forgot the piece you posted existed since it's so un-noteworthy to me. Definitely one of the weaker pieces of the collection. I remember people wtfing over my dress when the collection first came out so figured that was what you meant.
And yeah I'm not sure what it would look like if you're more busty. I will say it has quite a bit of stretch though, so that wouldn't be the issue. It would probably end up sitting lower on the chest than it does on the models.
>>8982122
Also the straps literally tie together at the top so you can adjust them a little bit for length which might help with any bust issues.
Thoughts on this skirt?
http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-2443122/disneys-alice-in-wonderland-a-collection-by-lc-lauren-conrad-gingham-skirt.jsp?color=Marshmallow
>>8983229
It could work if your other pieces were a little more detailed but imo you could get something a lot better than that for $30
>>8983259
I don't really like the waistband much. It's kind of too fussy to be a basic piece but not stand out enough to build an outfit around.
>>8973542
>Aryan pedo nightmare
Isn't Petite Meller hitting her 30s already? Lol someone in the comment section revealed her birth year once, but some how it got deleted later on.
>>8983377
I also think she's Israeli (or so I've heard) so not very Aryan either.
Does anyone know where dress in pic related is from?
>>8987399
>>8987403
are there any larme outfits that aren't filtered to heck and back ? All the ones that are considered 'good' on the worldwide page are filtered so much !
Spotted this on Katie's homepage. I know that there are some nymphet themes in larme sometimes, but does this look like straight up ageplay/diapers to anyone else?
>>8990552
The product in question. It doesn't look pinup inspired to me at all.
>>8990556
these literally look like diapers holy shit
>>8990086
Try the magazine itself?
>>8990086
The FB page has so few good outfits that it's not even useful for outfit inspiration. Besides the fact so few of them are clear. Try larme brand twitter/blogs/instagrams, and tumblr has few larme blogs that update often.
>>8990552
Katie has several pieces and editorials that are way too nymphet-like for my tastes... It's like everything is either retro, which is why I love Katie, or nymphet.
>>8990556
Oh look! Diaper covers!
>>8990086
I agree, way too filtered. So many of the outfits aren't even Larme. The most recent posts are just regular cute fashion at best. Also what's the point of just a headshot? We can't see your outfits!!
>>8964779
It's me again, I'm leaving this week. Anybody want me to take a look into any stores and post about the quality?
>>8990086
>>8992546
Yeah a lot of is filtered to hell and back because muh aesthetics. I'm definitely guilty of this myself too. Really love this girl's outfits though & they're not obnoxiously edited either.
>>8993437
Katie definitely, I've been thinking about getting something from them but I really have no idea if the price is worth it.
Maybe some of the new bonbon
stuff too?
In general it would be cool if more anons could post some reviews of the stuff they got from larme brands in terms of fit and quality. Tempted to do that myself but I don't have enough pieces from any specific brand to make any judgements really...
>>8993437
I'd be interested. I wish I had recommendations on where to go to buy Larme brands secondhand but I had no answer for you when you posted. Maybe you can find something when you get there by poking around. I wonder if xoxsaramari would know some? She seems to go to Japan quite a bit.
>>8992546
What outfits do you mean aren't larme? Not trying to pick a fight, I'm just new to the fashion and don't want to call something larme when it isn't. Examples of what is thought of as larme but isn't?
>>8993905
Sure! Will do!
>>8993941
Yeah, I figured the lack of replies was because no one knew :P
>>8992388
it is, i saw terry poison live in 2007 (yes i am old) and i remember her face.
Any of you going to enter the contest on the fbook group? It looks like it will be fun. Kind of worried that things like filters/setting/aesthetics may weigh more heavily than the actual outfits though..
>>8995317
I think I'm going to enter to help make the group feel more active! Simple outside photos. Not sure what I want to wear yet. Most of my larme pieces aren't very picnic feeling.
>>8995317
I might! I've been wanting to organize a picnic when the weather gets warm (it's still chilly in my part of Canada) so this will be a good motivator to actually do that.
>>8995317
I really want to enter but my entire larme wardrobe is all pheromone sort of styling.
Gonna keep an eye out for some gingham though, I have the perfect img. in mind it's just finding the stuff.
>>8995317
I'm not a member of the group, what the theme?
>>8995947
"Picnic date"
>>8995317
I'm very tempted to although I haven't posted any outfits to the group yet, that would be as good a reason as any to start I suppose.
Speaking of which, where could I get a sheer short top for layering like the one in pic related? I feel like most larme brands had a similar one at some point but I can't find anything right now.
>>8995158
Thanks for the confirm. And you could have been me, since I've been going to concerts since 2006. So don't feel old, anon!
>>8987405
Source of the skirt/shorts (I'm not into larme so I don't really know how to call it, but I need one in my life)?
>>8997011
That's from E hyphen world gallery Bonbon. It's sold out unless you want the white colorway but even then I think you'll need an instore SS because they're only in stock in the physical store (checked yesterday).
Speaking of Bonbon, I splurged and got the pleather garter skirt. Design is gorgeous but honestly doubting if it's worth the price. The pleather skirts also run really small (I'm average Japanese sized) so keep that in mind too.
Also, anyone got some Larme coords with brown shoes? Just got some of those new 3 ribbon heels in brown from Bubbles, probably should've gotten the black ones.
>>8998844
That's not great to hear, my BonBon order is on the way so I really hope it won't be a disappointment. My package ended up being really expensively, how on earth can a top, skirt and nightie weight 1kg wtf.
Speaking of brown shoes I've seen some good outfits from Fint, I know it's borderline larme, but still, they've been featured in the magazine quite a few times.
>>9000699
I think if you pair them with white you can't really go wrong.
>>8994981
Okay so I went to E Hyphen World Gallery Bonbon today and the first thing I noticed is that everything is really tiny. Like I'm a large in western sizing, but I can usually fit into at least a couple things at any given store, but there's no chance for me there. After that, the quality is really variable; some things like the sailor crop tops look fantastic, but others are a little lacking given the cost. The heart chokers for example, the leathers not cut very cleanly and the stitching connecting the hearts is a lot more obvious than in the stock photos, like I mean it's alright, but I don't think it's worth ¥4000. Other items, especially the quilted tote bags, were kind of plasticky too.
>>8993905
She's ~not a girl~ according to her tumblr, anon.
>>9002474
was she/he born male?
Do you think that this could be worked into a larme outfit?
>>9002901
And these?
>>9002564
They're just genderfluid or genderqueer or something. No biggie, they've just asked for no female pronouns.
>>9003207
Do you think a red one could be made to work? I rarely see red pieces used in larme, but I do love the colour.
Any makeup tutorials?
>>9003999
I think it could look really nice with an all black/white outfit and red lips too.
I found this on the Amazon UK site earlier, if anybody is interested. It comes in black and violet too.

>>9001095
Maybe Ive just been desensitized to Japanese prices but I went there yesterday and it seemed really reasonable to me??? I was expecting $100+ for most items but there were plenty of cute things in the 60-90 range. But I feel you on the sizing thing. Im skinny but mad pear shape and so while things like dresses and tops aren't bad but I felt bad even looking at the pants, my ass would fuck those things up
Goddamn anons, I tried ordering stuff from Fashionwalker and E Hyphen World Gallery Bonbon but they do not seem to accept debit cards. Any other people had this problem? At least Bonbon's webshop says they accept debit cards, but there's still an error message. I'm a student so I don't have an actual credit card, either.
I just want cute clothes, anons ;__;
What's the story with her?
I started following her on ig, but she only ever posts in Japanese now and constantly spams her WEAR account. I guess she is becoming moderu and is too hot shit to even write in English.
>>9006862
had to reverse image search but,
in 1st page of posts i see one link to her wear and about 4 posts w/ japanese.
self post or either she's been on a deleting spree.
>>9006862
Well for one things she's French, and her English isn't the best. I also recently saw a really long post in English she made on tumblr. And she is fairly active in the larme fb group in English. Seems more like a vendetta than a self post to me
>>9006862
This is Chieko right? She already modeled for syrup so its not like it's just a pipe dream for her.
