Popkei, Puppies, and Paint!

Today I got dressed up to see some friends of mine to make cupcakes, and I chose my new Swimmer headphones as the popkei inspiration piece for this outfit :) I was a big fan of my old Swimmer headphones, which were pink with kitties, but they broke (rattling in one ear and no sound on one side, if you're curious), so I was happy to get the new generation which no longer has any black hardware - just pink!

Skirt, socks: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Shoes: Jeni
Bracelet, blue heart ring, cutsew: Angelic Pretty
Pink heart ring: Tarina Tarantino
Pink rhinestone bow: Chinatown
Bag: Sanrio

Here's the headphones in action! And Misu ♥ (check back for more Misu this week - her Charm Channel debut! She really is adorable to watch scurry around and get into trouble! *w*)

You may also notice something about my background - the walls are now pink! Over the weekend my father and my boy worked hard to get my room repainted - from dusty lilac to a bright, princess-worthy pink with minty doors and a buttercream ceiling. I'll be doing a video showing off my room at long last for everyone who's asked to see it :) A lot of pink mostly, in case that wasn't obvious ;) While they did the walls and ceilings, I snuck a little of the buttercream (Behr's Social Butterfly, to be specific) to finish my long-wished for dream of framing my favorite Angelic Pretty full-size ads. I didn't want to pay a lot of money for the frames, so I sifted through my local thrift store and found three frames for $2.50. One was a 70s-version nasty gold, and the other two were unfinished. With a little stolen ivory paint and putting in the glass, I now have the very cute start of my Angelic Pretty gallery. I'm looking to get a few new magazines this weekend when I go shopping in New York City, so I can add them to my collection - hopefully the Milky Planet or Fantastic Dolly ad! Currently I chose Royal Poodle (since I also have the red OP, pictured) and coats because I am excited for upcoming coat reservations! My smaller one on the side is a miniature flyer of a recent Gothic & Lolita Bible cover.

It was easy to make the frames match perfectly! My next project is a little more challenging - painting my china closet the matching mint! I can't wait to see it finished!

At July 14, 2010 at 10:09 AM , Victoria Suzanne said...: @Lo: The headphones are from a brand called SWIMMER, which doesn't ship overseas from Japan. I've been trying to get a new pair for a long time, and my friend Michelle sold me hers ♥ You'll have to look on the aftermarket (find someone selling them) or hire a shopping service to purchase them.

I have 3 Poms:) 2 are orange with white on their chest & tummies (Their names are Mochi and Hana). My other is all white, and her name is Mitsuki (Mitsu for short!)
I wish I could paint my room pink!

But Victoria I just had a question, and maybe you have another post for this somewhere, but where can one draw the line on Loli clothes or not?
I consider myself a soft-loli just for the fact that I own one BTSSB dress, (and one body maid outfit from my job at Katsucon, but I don't wear it outside of work.) but everything else I wear has a Loli look to it, just not the brand name or is Japan-made.
Mary Janes, button up shirts, skirts above or below the knee with a petticoat, long socks that cover the knee, ballet flats, bows, and stuffed animals.
So yeah I was just curious as to what your take on that sort of thing was, I apologize in advance if you already answered it somewhere and I failed to see it.
