I think that's enough spending for awhile... most likely...

Derp, dropped photo
A small, happy little haul.
I didn't want to do a Taobao order until late May, but then the Collared Dove series popped up. I knew I had order that divine blouse before the store became overwhelmed with orders for it (and alas, they closed the preorder for the blouse already). My *true* Taobao haul later this month will be way more socks/shoes/cosplay.
And gotta have menhera tights for whenever Bunny & Black finally re-release the Nurse JSK.
>>8996728
Derppp, wrong photo. I think this thread is cursed.
>>8996732
Ugh, that Collared Dove JSK is gorgeous
>>8996732
which shop did you get the meta jsk from? I've been looking for it for a while but couldn't find it
>>8996802
Not that anon but cynthiavivi.taobao.com
>>8996820
>cynthiavivi.taobao.com
Thank you muchly
The shoes are more I'm getting replicas made of this specific design. They said they could do it with 90% similarity, so will see. And just got the tights the other day and really like them even though the print is on the lighter side.
>>8995844
Cardigans are from https://world.taobao.com/item/527981069572.htm
>>8996784
I got it during the February rerelease. It was my time buying Meta and buying straight from a brand store. I typically only buy secondhand brand or new from Taobao, but I was afraid this one would remain as elusive as it was before the release.. Plus I regretted not getting Dozing Cat Hakama JSK in beige during that rerelease. DDG is definitely an oddball in my mint/ivory/pink classic wardrobe. But idgaf.
>>8996865
Can you post a quick review on the F+F overdress when you get it? I've had my eye on it for awhile
>>8997483
Will do. I hope it ends up being nice.
>>8996784
here it is for auction anon
http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h225956183
>>8996865
If those shoes come out well, will you name drop your connect?
So, not all I've bought, but here are the main attractions. I need to slow the fuck down.
>>8996276
in the 2nd column, with the hair accessories, where did you get the bottom 2? also sauce on the shoes pls
I wish I had never discovered mercari ;-;
Also have nameless poem on pre-order. Hope they get shipped soon!
>>8998412
Oh wow, where did you buy the meta set? I have the mini hat thing that goes with this. Very cool find.
>>8998498
I got it off of LM. After she reposted a few times I caved and got it.
You wouldn't by chance have an extra pin would you?
>>8998505
I do actually! I'm not into the anime that this set is based off of, so I took it off my hat. Are you interested in it? I'll make sure that I still have it and didn't lose it first, but if you are, I'll leave my email in the name field.
>>8998516
Emailed!
>>8996266
If this is just a thread for discussing what we got in the mail, I recently received a replica Ring Of Favour & Protection, and I've got a Mask Of The Father on the way.
>>8998493
Nice finds anon! How much did your OPs set you back?
>>8998493
So envious anon. What ss did you use for Mercari?
>>8998557
It actually wasn't too bad, but I've been trying to cut back on spending! About 28K yen for both dresses combined!
>>8998578
If you do a search on facebook for "no country for tall men", the guy who runs that SS, his wife can buy from mercari and fril, the fee is 15% He'll give you her contact info!
>>8998583
I'm surprised that no one on here seems to remember/care about all the shit he pulled on LJ. Only now you can actually get Sugary Carnival for $200 very easily.
>>8998472
Top accessory from Red Maria, Bottom from Cutie Creator. Shoes are AnTaiNa. I'd link you but I'm on mobile
>>8998578
Japonica can also buy from Mercari and Fril
>>8998658
I guess I wasn't around then? Was he a scammer or something? They were both really great when I used them, very fast to respond, no issues at all
>>8996732
Congrats on the adorable haul. Although it's so cute i'd be so scared of staining them, the lighter dresses I mean.
>>8999212
Oh yes. I love light colors but stains are a big fear, hence why I rarely wear them except for special occasions. I'll get mysterious little stains/dirt at the end of the day, though they usually come off with a bit of water. I've stained one skirt on the lace, but I will use a bleach pen when I'm brave enough to undertake such a delicate procedure... It almost makes me want to invest in a nice but cheap apron I don't have to worry about getting stuff on. I could just keep it in my purse, slip it on during dinner and it would still be cute, yet practical.
If I could build another wardrobe without worrying about money, I'd do jewel tones and black. Firstly because they're elegant/less seen and because if you drop hot sauce on your skirt, it's not a catastrophe. I'd use it for meets where I'm more likely to get dirty (outdoor stuff, sloppy food menu, etc). Wonder if other people worry as much as me, but maybe I worry because I seem to have bad luck with stains.
Bodyline stuff and got 3 items just arrived at my SS to be shipped to me. I was looking for this darn VM hat for a while now.
And I hope these Meta socks aren't too yellow.
>>8998493
Jealous of that ivory VM OP! Great find!
>>8999289
Thanks! It wasn't my preferred colorway, but I couldn't resist the deal. I love that VM hat! I've been looking for it in black and bordeaux for a while myself
It's currently out for delivery! Should be here any minute. The wait's killing me.
>tfw your dream dress is in your city now
Where is it usps. I'll fucking drive to the post office and pick it up, just watch me.
>>8999322
Congrats anon! Are those wedding cakes I see? What print is this? It's gorgeous!
>>8999381
Same here, anon. I was actually concerned it got lost in the mail because of how unusually long it was taking but it probably got missorted in customs or something.
>>8999389
Meta's Majestic Princess. It may still be on their website.
>>8998370
Oh I can just say it now. Another anon said Antaina custom makes shoes with no minimum order amount, so I'm trying with them.
Waiting on some new bbcream from saemmul and some new brow tint from etude house. Hope they get here in time for AN.
small cc haul.
kind of impulse buys because depressed, but Ive been on the look for this ETC print.
>>8999200
http://getoffegl.livejournal.com/578290.html
I'm excited because the glitzy wonderland infanta lucky bag(?) just shipped out!!
My infanta lucky pack/deal (?) from glitzywonderland with a blouse and OP/JSK was finally shipped!!
>>9000996
Oh! I actually do remember this, I just didn't put it together that it was the same guy.
Well, it seems like he's gotten his shit together. He wasn't rude, was very upfront about the fees, everything went super fast, etc.
>>9001730
>%15
>insane
Am I missing something? I thought that was pretty reasonable.
>>9001750
It's generally 3-5% with places like FJ and Buyee
>>9002073
But they also add on fees for each item you buy. They also charge a processing few for using PayPal. I calculated it and it was cheaper to go through him.
>>9002113
>it was cheaper go through him
>didn't realize 15% base fee was high
Keep back peddling there dearie
>>9002119
What are you talking about lol
If I am being stupid and spending too much money on a SS I genuinely want to know, but the calculations I did don't support that I have, especially since I bought a lot of smaller items as well.
I'm secretly hoping that ordering back in April will have them here by mid June.
>>9002125
If it works for you, it works for you. I don't understand why you're eating so much bait though.
>>9002289
Well like i said, if I was overpaying for something I would want to know. But I guess I was just being trolled so it's irrelevant
>Lolita and Anime goods
Sometimes I wonder why I'm not into cheaper hobbies.
Most of this was made possible with graduation money, working a summer job now that I'm out of school so I can save up for a move in August. Hopefully there aren't any other big releases I want this year...
>>9002460
>Cheaper hobbies
Hobbies are always money sinks anon
Nice haul!
Hasten forth, my sweet princess
Waiting my stuff to arrive
>>9002729
Looks very nice!
Some figures I bid on came in today so I'm super relieved because the Kamen Rider stuff is a bday gift for a friend at a con in two weeks.
Also waiting on a Taobao order that's almost 4 weeks since shipped and still no sign that it's reached America.
>>9002729
Damn those shirts are awesome.
Were to get me one?
>>9003343
Not that anon, but those are from Omocat's clothing line.
>>9003345
Thanks anon thought they were only girl fitting shirts then i saw a guy wearing them.
Going to buy some and weeb out.
Got some cute stuff coming for my bedroom, mostly organizational things. I'm sprucing it up once class is out for the summer.

Blouse source please.
got some stuff from elegy coming in the mail and then decided to order some lip stuff and eyebrow gel from colourpop. eyebrow stuff was cheap and I have an ash blonde wig and my natural eyebrows are dark brown/black so I thought I might try this stuff and see what happens. (warning to gulls though - according to comments on IG, people suspect they had their payment info compromised from shopping at colourpop. they have 2 different payment methods, paypal and directly entering your card information. I used paypal and it seems like the paypal people are all safe/I have not noticed anything wrong since making my purchase, just thought I'd let people know, probably not gonna buy from them again for a while tho since they have yet to address this issue officially)
Trying to focus on buying versatile accessories instead of just dresses, but I couldn't pass up Missing Letter Keys, I've wanted it for a while! It's my first OP too, I'm pretty psyched about it.
>>9004614
I wish colourpop was over here, I'm jealous of the the variety. Please review the elegy stuff when it arrives, anon.
>>9004614
Seconding the elegy review, I've had my eye on that dress for a while.
>>9004614
Not really a fan of the colorpop liquid lipstick formula... I found it super drying and uncomfortable to wear.
>>8997483
I got it in today. I like it, though it's very much off-white in person and I'm not crazy about that. Both the lace and the fabric are soft, it looks nicely made, and there's not lose threads. There is a small light blue mark under the last button though. I guess left over from when marking where to put the buttons.
My waist is 29 inches and I bought the lady 75 thinking I'd be okay (plus the lady 85 was sold out in white), but the elastic waist in the back of it is a bit snug, so will probably have to corset down a bit.
Overall I like it and it looks just like the stock photos expect for the color difference. Threw on a jsk for a quick cell photo (ignore the black shirt) to show how it looks.
>>8996276
Man. I wanted that tarot dress so bad. I had never seen it until that facebook sales post. If you find it doesn't suit you, I would buy it at the same price.
>>9005882
Shoot me a PM on FB and I'll let you know when I get it
>>9005868
True, but I'm after the blouse, anon.
>>9004960
Wow that looks super cute, thanks for the review anon!
>>8996865
What are those shoes a replica of? I might have to talk to an*tai*na about them, too, they probably won't come in my size
I should also have some more JoJo merch if I'm not outbid in the next couple days.
my lil orders
>>9006087
The black blouse if from Taobao. Seems like they have taken it down. https://world.taobao.com/item/523322284461.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a1z10.5-c.w4002-12551903266.22.32EKvy
I had been sweating because I was after the last Scherehezade cut and colorway on Baby's website, but I wasn't sure if it would still be there when I had the spare cash...then it popped up on CC at roughly half the price! Score!!!
>>9006183
Please post worn pics of the IW salopette when you get it, it's such an interesting piece!
>>9007174
Will do! The bib sits kind of awkwardly (at least to me) in the worn stock photos so I'm hoping to wear it as a skirt mostly.
>>9002729
source on the op? sorry if this is a super newfag question, i was mostly into sweet back when i was into lolita before
>>9007650
Not that anon, but it's Ista Mori's Nameless Poem. It comes up for sale pretty regularly!
The morgane is most likely the 2009 version which used cotton sateen rather than the iconic velveteen version, but all in all, I'm quite happy I've managed to cross a DD off my long list!
>>8999390
Congrats on this dress. I have it and I love it.
A bunch of menhera stuff. A Putumayo jacket. A BTSSB skirt and blouse. Sugarpill eyeshadow. Kojic acid soap. An*Tai*Na shoes. A few AE orders with cheap accessories.
I can't be assed to collage this all right now
>>9008158
I own the 2004 version and it's a very heavy corduroy fabric and not velveteen. The official stock pictures are just shit, but you can see it on detail picture of the black colourway.
Congrats on your haul, you hae amazing taste!
Praying that the skincare stuff improves my face.
>>9007120
Anon! A review on that surface spell bonnet please!
>>9011182
Anon, I want to warn you. The AHA 7 reacts with skin and begins to smell like absolute ASSHOLE. It's a great exfoliant so I deal with it, but holy fucking shit it's god-awful.
Beauty is suffering.
>>9011887
>>9012208
It's only when I put it on my skin-- smells perfectly fine in the bottle, but ten or so seconds later it's like rotting eggs all over my face. It's gone in about five minutes or less, though. I just huff some oil or nice smelling chapstick until it ends. It's really bad, but short-lived and worth the longer lasting effects.
>>9012245
>like rotting eggs all over my face
shit
> but short-lived and worth the longer lasting effects.
Great. If it works for me I'm going to try and get my brother onto it.
More crowns for my wardrobe.
My roseroseshop order arrived today! Ordered it 5 days ago, and yesterday got a text saying that the package was going to arrive tomorrow at the end of the day. Unfortunately, my order history was only available in list format, but if anyone wants a picture of anything I'll be happy to take one!
>>9011206
Just got it yesterday! It shipped very quickly from the US Etsy storefront and shipping/price were reasonable. The bonnet itself is absolutely beautiful and high quality. There are two nice rose clips and an ostrich feather accessory, and then this big, dumb floral comb that's covered in hot glue strings and is off-white (the bonnet and other accessories are stark white) ??? Which is bizarre, but the important part is that the bonnet itself is great quality (on par with my Antique Beast half-bonnet)
I can't wait to get these, I woke up at 4 am to buy them lol, My only regret is that I kept waffling and didn't get the Jeweled Duchess brooch but oh well.
small gets this month. i couldn't resist the hoodie any longer...
>>9016944
Where is that hoodie from? So cute!
>>9016945
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Girls-Anime-Neko-Atsume-Cute-Cats-Hoodies-Sweat-Coats-Cosplay-Anime-2-Colors-/152014731007?var=&hash=item2364c8b6ff:m:mC0p9whBslQ2Ocu4DZVcrYg
It also comes in white, but they're out of stock. If you search "neko atsume hoodie" you can find some!
Trying to be better about buying basics so I have more than 1 way to coordinate each dress. I'm also on the lookout for more chiffon blouses... but I'm very very picky.
The Misty Sky skirt should be here on Monday! Took forever for it to get through customs.... Likely the jewelry's also in customs limbo.
>>9016944
Sauce on the sweater?
Finally getting my ita bag started, still figuring out the base color for the bag. Plus dream dress so this month is a good haul
My Kobito water bottle came in! It's really sturdy, came with a bottle brush, a kobito minifig, and a set of generic stickers. Really great for a Aliexpress order.
>>8998524
great purchase, anon
>>9017346
such cute items, anon!
could you review the crop blouse when you receive it? thank you!
>>9004614
>>9004826
>>9004887
elegy anon here!
I forgot to post but my dress came in a few days ago. It's really pretty and I absolutely love it. It was extremely hard for me to get a good photo off due to lighting + the shape of the dress; it is a sack dress kind of thing, so the shape looks like a weird blob when I lay it out on the floor. it does have a ribbon belt though if you don't like the sack dress look. the dress is made out of a cotton gauze I think is what she says on the website. I like it, although some people may think it's an odd material. In person, I think it looks fine, it seems a bit prone to lint/animal hair but that may also be just because it's black so all that stuff shows up more easily. If people are interested in photos I can make an attempt to try and take nicer photos again, although pic related is what I posted to instagram. Everything is pretty true to the stock photos anyway. I LOVE the lace collar thing - it's really nice.
Peignor is nice, I like the lace on it! I think it's nice if you're looking for a peignoir to wear with lolita since it's not someone's old used lingerie and you can also specify length.
fabric rose is cute, some people may not like the large textured fabric it is made out of but I think it's interesting.
I just really love the dress, idk, it was everything I hoped for haha. Definitely worth the money I spent and if you guys have been wanting it I think you should go for it!
>>9004890
the colourpop stuff came in and I didn't mind the liquid matte formula at least, I didn't find it was anymore drying than my ABH lipsticks or the kat von d ones. the formula was a bit more wet, but it wasn't super runny or anything. I don't think they are as permanent as the abh ones (if you rub them nothing rubs off but these ones did leave a bit of pigment if you rubbed hard enough) but for $6 I think they're nice. I did not get a chance to test out the satin lip though so I don't know if that's super drying or not.
>>9017346
Holy shit those seashell accessories! I wish they where in pink 'tho, they're super cute! ;o;
Also my very small haul. I haven't bought anything in a long while and I had the urge to buy some cute stuff I came across. I'm a sucker for anything sea/marine related.
>>9016395
Thank you!
>>9018285
Thanks for these pictures anon! Is the fabric flower detachable?
small innisfree haul and some accessories, nothing big
>>9020206
Yes! It's a pin/brooch ordered separately from the dress and it also has an alligator clip so you could put it in your hair if you'd like.
>>9018285
Thanks anon! I/m glad to hear it was worth it, I'm really tempted now lol...
Could I request a photo of the dress worn? I'd like to see how it sits on a real person.
Found out this came back in stock and ordered it immediately. So pumped.
>>9018319

Mostly buying accessories and more casual clothes lately. Trying to get colour into my otherwise gothic wardrobe.
A dream dress popped up and it was really well priced! I have been looking for it for a while and it is in the exact cut and colourway I wanted!
Also the shoes... the shoes... could not resist those damn shoes! I need them on my feet ASAP.
>>9021377
The sailor dress is a cutsew OP by Angelic Pretty! I got it from Wunderwelt so I'm afraid it's not in stock anymore there. Search for セーラーカットワンピース on lolibrary, it's the first result. The keychain plushie is a new mascot by San-x called Jinbe-san! You can find a lot of stuff at Rakuten, I got mine from a shop called LaughLaugh. Search for じんべえさん ^^
>>9021660

Found this jewel at CC. Bought it for $190.
>>9023302
It's by MA*RS but I found it secondhand on mercari. The same one plus the light pink, white, and black colorways are all on mercari right now, though!

Are you planning on using the aha at night and bha during the day? You may already know this, but be sure to only start with just one and give your skin plenty of time to adjust, like a few months at least. I'd recommend an aha/bha toner as well as it gives your face a neutral pH to make it more effective. The bha is going to make you peel and may dry you out if your skin isn't oily so I suggest you wear plenty of hydrating moisturizer. I'm using the bha right now and it's fantastic.
Trying to find cute clothes, but have no idea what search terms to use, or websites for that matter. Heres a link to types of clothes I like..any ideas on how to go about looking for them? https://uk.pinterest.com/PunctualFox/fashion/
>>9023746
Wtf noone gonna spoonfeed you. Your style is all over the place anyway.
>>9023796
Was just asking for advice on search terms, or a place to start looking. I just wanted a place to start, not someone to hold my hand
>>9023746
Where are you trying to find these clothings? taobao, japanese sites? the actual brand stores? Cause I see some that look like Innocent World, some that look like Angelic Pretty, some that look like Baby The Stars Shine Bright.
I have no idea what exactly you are trying to search for these things through.
Do you even know the general terms for these dresses? Jumper Skirts (JSK) and the like?
>>9023801
All I wanted was a general idea on what to look for or where to look for it. I'm struggling to get results looking around, and was hoping for advice on what I should be searching. Also don't make assumptions on how much I make.
>>9023802
been looking on storenvy and aliexpress, to no avail
>>9023809
Dont use aliexpress for lolita.
There are a few lolita brands hosted on storenvy, Haenuli is one
But to put it simply, check the shopping doc in the taobao general and you will find a lot of jfashion shops and links on how to buy from there.
Places people normally find their dresses (for lolita at least) are lacemarket, yahoo japan auctions, taobao, closet child, and directly from the brand store itself. A taobao re-seller is my-lolita-dress, but be careful with them.
You can also find more casual Jfashion on sites like Rakuten
>>9023814
Thank you!
>>9023283
Of course! They are amazing.
They are from a store in Harajuku called Lagrace Mart
I bought mine through the Shibuya109 online store using FJ here:
http://e-shop.shibuya109.jp/ladies/commodity/LAR/L2LAR15A19/
but they also seem to have their own independent online store here:
http://lagracemart.shop9.makeshop.jp/shopdetail/000000000041/all_items/page2/order/
Unfortunately on both stores, the blue is sold out but they have pink in stock. If you really want the blue, I suggest contacting a SS to perhaps get some in-store for you?
>>9023394
Thank you! Unfortunately doesn't ship to my country, oh well.
>>9023941
bless your heart, anon, thank you! the pink ones are super cute, I might just buy them instead.
Various pastel things from Phooey, Aliexpress and Spinns.
>>9026503
I like your taste anon.
>>9021352
Adorable!
>>9018191
This is horrifically cute.
Stuff from E Hyphen World Gallery Bonbon, WEGO and Bubbles, plus cheap shit from Ebay.
Most likely the wrong place to ask, but mail related. Are there any US forwarding services for very small orders (one item, coin sized) that will charge a proportionate fee? I just want to order a pin but they don't offer intl shipping.
>>9028522
Awwww yeah that sailor top, it was too small for me unfortunately, I'll live vicariously through you anon.
Sauce on the heart choker & the pink see through top btw?
>>9023941
These are cute shoes, but I can see so much dirt and general outside dirtiness and public bathroom grossness getting all over the bottom of these.

I often see people looking for SS's that will buy from Fril and Mercari, and I see people saying that FJ will not buy from them.
Just wanted to say I have recently (this month) ordered from both Fril and Mercari using FJ and had no issues what so ever. It just processed like a normal shopping service request.
