Junie Moon

Yesterday I was in Shinjuku and visited MaruiONE. I always love to check out a shop called Junie Moon because they have lots of handmade, unique, and ever-changing products out for sale.

They also always have gorgeous and cute doll displays up! This time it was a collaboration featuring Imai Kira, who is one of my favorite artists.

The dolls were both sooo detailed and beautiful. Junie Moon was also selling large, shimmery printed posters of each illustration and I was extremely tempted to pick up one. Might have to make a return trip soon :P 

All I ended up buying was the cute elephant berry phone charm below because it was too cute to pass up!

Imai Kira tights

I've been a big fan of Imai Kira ever since she first designed for Angelic Pretty back in the day. Luckily, her popularity in Japan is still going strong. Her most recent works include a special pair of tights that are absolutely gorgeous.

I don't buy tights all that often, even though most Grimoire tights taught me endlessly. But I knew I had to get these tights when I saw the pamphlet advertisement for them in Shinjuku!

The design features a lovely print with random items falling down the tights and what looks like ribbon encircling the legs. Imai Kira also has a large poster print of the girl with the moon that I was considering buying, and so now I get to wear it instead ;)

A picture from the website showing the tights in person. Mine are expected to be delivered around mid-April. So excited! I ordered a signed copy of her new art book as well, and was going to RSVP to her fan meet but then realized it was in Nagoya. Maybe next time~!
