What's in my closet, but I haven't worn yet!

I thought my blog is a bit bare, so I will make it my goal to post once a week. To encourage myself, I will participate in the 52 Weeks of Lolita Challenge. Original post and challenge list is located here if you wish to join in.

I have the habit of buying stuff and not wearing them, so I have plenty of things I could list, but i'll stick to 3.

I have a couple old parcels i received a few weeks ago but didn't blog yet. I'm actually behind on my "Mail Updates", haha.

Dual Mail Update: Angelic Pretty using Tenso.com & Innocent World

(SOURCE: unknown -- Edwardian apparel)

All the Angelic Pretty goodies I bought during their summer sale arrived. Angelic Pretty has their sales during the summer and winter for clearing out the left-over seasonal clothes. It is always a good idea is to set aside money for their sales if you want to buy some new brand cheap. Also, you should definitely set aside money for their New Years sets. They're quite the bargain.

(Late)Mail Update: Mary Magdalene

This post is a bit late, but after months of waiting, I finally received my Mary Magdalene Raphael Doctor's Bag. Reservations for this bag opened in April and I placed my order April 24th. I received the invoice the same day. Mary Magdalene is very easy to order from. They have their own English guide to ordering.

Finally, a new blog entry! The First of Its Kind, The Lolita Trends Newsletter!

It occured to me that individual brands have their own on-going trends. There may be some overlap, but they're mostly brand specific. Here are some recent trends. Let's start with Angelic Pretty.

Mail Update: Angelic Pretty & Tenso.com Review

Yay, mail. This is my first package from the Japanese mail forwarding service, Tenso.com. In order to buy from Angelic Pretty's international webshop, one must sign up using Tenso. Their pricing is reasonable. They consolidate shipping for a fee. Shipping is EMS only (i think).
