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!

Creamy Mami Signkai & Goods

Quite awhile ago, back in March, I was able to meet the lead voice actress for the Creamy Mami anime. I didn't really know the anime too well and had only seen a few episodes, but she was so cute and nice and we talked about the anime a bit before she signed a pre-selected piece of paper for me.



 Since the signkai (sign meet) I kind of accidentally became a big fan of everything Creamy Mami. After I finished watching all of the episodes, I wished I had bought more things when I had the chance at Shinjuku Maruione.

But, luckily, Maruione's online shop, as well as Lolii's online shop, have both stocked limited supplies of more Creamy Mami goods!


The hand mirror and pearl strap I had seen back in March, but didn't purchase either of them at the time.  So when I saw them both readily in-stock at Lolii's online shop I jumped at the chance!


I've been wanting a new hand mirror for awhile, to replace the W♥C Kumatan one I've had for years and years. The quality is very good and it is super sparkly~.


Angelic Pretty recently stocked more Creamy Mami collaboration jewelry as well, so if anyone is interested in ordering anything from any of the shops please check out my Japan Shopping Service details~!

And I leave you with some shots of some of the cute things I've eaten recently :D Nana's Green Tea parfait and the famous caramel Tokyo Banana (both are so delicious!) ♥

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~!

Rolianne pink made

One of my favorite stores to waste spend time in is Rolianne pink made in Shinjuku's Marui One. It is always full of the cutest and sweetest charms, jewelry, accessories, and bags!


Just recently I finally bought a bracelet that I had been eyeing since last year. It's always so hard for me to decide on what I want there, because everything is so cute, but I picked up this cute bracelet since it's very spring time colors~


Looks like gumdrop candy! And because White Day was coming soon, they included a cute little gift baggie filled with random candies and chocolates.


I tried it on with a few of the other spring-ish bracelets I've picked up recently and it matches really well I think. Super happy about my purchase and already planning what I will pick up next ;)

Jill Stuart Nail Polish

Yesterday I purchased my first polish from Jill Stuart's newest collection "Dreamy Layered Glow".



The colors were all really gorgeous and so it was hard to choose, but I finally decided on a shade called "Future Wing". It's a perfect nude-pink color that I've been searching for!

And don't even get me started on the bottle! Simply gorgeous, with Swarovski crystal elements.


It was a bit expensive, coming in at around 1,500yen, and requires a double or triple coat for any noticeable color, but it dries so lovely and shiny and lasts quite awhile. Also it smells like rose when it dries, which is a nice little touch.

Definitely recommend it! Check out the other amazing colors below~
