Lolita Charm: Lolitas' Day Out!

Lolitas' Day Out!

Saturday as promised Dalin of La Vida Frills and Miss Lumpy and I went out on the town - with a surprise visit from Crystal of Pretty Wonderland! I had a ball and my friends made sure that my birthday was a special day. To my lovely ladies who make my life sparkle, thank you!!

Here we all are outside of Thirstea, an East Village hotspot for bubble tea. I chose almond - I like my bubble tea to be milky ♥

We started out with a little shopping in Chinatown. This is a gorgeous display of lucky stars, which are made out of thin strips of paper. I love them even though I'm so clumsy at them ;o; Someone has made a lot here!

Even the container they come in is cute!

After shopping we stopped for lunch. Max Brenner's is a chocolate-themed restaurant, a favorite place for us. To celebrate being 21, we ordered a Tiramisu cocktail (served with a ladyfinger) and a Banana Split cocktail. They were expensive, but the display was amazing. The Banana Split was actually a stemless glass perched above a tumbler of ice.

Here's my outfit shot taken at Tokyo Rebel (next to the display of Milky Berry!). Nothing too ornate since it was 98 degrees in the city. However while out shopping I found usamimi - a current gyaru trend that's supposed to be a little retro and a little country, a fabric-wrapped wire headband that resembles the bunny ears on a TV. Not only did it keep me cooler, I think it makes this outfit a little quirky. Dress by Angelic Pretty ♥

My birthday present to myself - a blue Jelly Jewelry series ring from Tokyo Rebel. It's just a little thing, but the soda blue color was so cute & refreshing. I've gotten a taste for Angelic Pretty jewelry lately, a big temptation! And now Dalin and I are rings twins, so I couldn't resist! Hers is pink :3

Chinatown really does have some cute places to shop and a few hidden surprises if you know where to look. We had a great time and I can't wait to see my girls again soon!

My fiance and I love to check out small places to eat and such at (that aren't too expensive, we are on a tight budget.) I definitely plan on visiting Tokyo Rebel, just because, but do you have any other suggestions of cheap/free entertainment and good food? (We already know the typical tourist stuff though.) I am glad you liked chinatown b/c I wasn't sure if it would be worth it to visit it.

PS I love boba tea (bubble tea). Taro flavor is the best!
