[JAPAN] Great cities: Osaka ♥ Shopping at Shinsaibashi part 3 + recent buys!

Hello dear readers,

I hope you're enjoying winter time, drinking tea and wearing loads of cozy clothing~ ^-^ At least that's what I do!

As promised, this post focuses a bit more on Lolita fashion in Osaka!

Most popular Lolita brands have their shops in Shinsaibashi, I visited Angelic Pretty, Baby, the Stars shine bright, Metamorphose temps de fille, Miho Matsuda, Atelier Pierrot and Innocent World!

My first visit at an IW shop was so good *-* Especially because there was a special Sale at the moment! And... I did something I never did before: I spontaneously decided to buy a new Lolita dress! xD
I tried it on in store and completely fell in love with the design and print ♥ I'll show you pictures later in this post.

Atelier Pierrot!

Btssb! ♥

The shop was quite big~

There was a Lolita Teaparty at Btssb Osaka with AP models as special guests and the shop staff told me that I could join, but unfortunately it was on the day that I left Osaka T__T I was very sad!

In front of the Btssb store with my new big IW bag! :D How shall I stuff this in my suitcase?! 

After Shopping we visited a very cute Maid Café ! 

It was an interesting experience ^-^ All the girls were very friendly, wore cute Maid uniforms, we took polaroids together, they stirred my hot chocolate and draw this cute kitty on my pancakes with chocolate sauce!! ♥

Okay, so.. what's inside my bag~

... IW's Rose and Playing Cards Ladder Lace JSK in brown!

I'ts my first Classic Lolita dress and I'm already looking forward to try some Classic coords soon ♥

And here are pictures of the cute shirt I bought at merry jenny:

such a nice packaging!

'promise' print ♥

It was a very nice shopping day! Even better, because we had a nice party with many international guests at my WWOOFing host's house that evening! ^-^ 

But at the same time, it was a bit sad because it was my last evening in Osaka... the last weeks went by so fast!! I will definitely miss Osaka, it's such a nice city with wonderful people, and there are so many more nice places to see that I couldn't visit this time. But at the same time, I was looking forward to my new host in Saitama and my time in Tokyo!!

Bye bye Osaka... see you again soon!

Bonus pic: Even the alcohol is kawaii in Japan xD

[JAPAN} Great cities: Osaka ♥ Shopping at Shinsaibashi part 2

Hello lovelies,
I hope you all had a great start in the new year!
I want to show you more nice places for shopping in Shinsaibashi, Osaka today! ^-^ Shinsaibashi is not only a good place for Gyaru shopping, but also for Lolita! Plus, we went there at Halloween time, so we could see many people walking around in nice and funny costumes, Cosplay, etc.!

My two friends and me visited the following places:

1. Shinsaibashi OPA - more pictures xD

Some additional pictures of gyaru shops at OPA! I already showed you some in my last post.

They had a special collaboration with Kokokim at Glad News, so cool *-*

2.  Kera Shop

The next place we went to after OPA was Kera shop!  You can easily walk there from OPA, although it's a bit hard to find. One half of the shop is punk/goth and the other half is cute/Lolita and some cosplay!

beautiful dresses!

... and very cute accessories!

Love this dress ♥

Shop staff at Kera shop ♥

Besides Kera shop you can find Miho Matsuda and a corner where you can fix your hair and Make-Up (and I think you can buy some wigs and Circle lenses there too!)

So after visiting Kera shop, we went to...

3. Streets of Shinsaibashi :D

While walking through the streets you can find many nice clothing shops!

...and look what we found!:D My alltime-favourite store, Angelic Pretty!!
You can find directions + more pictures here !

I love it so much

♥

It was not allowed to take pictures inside, but let me tell you, this store is just adorable, aww ♥ ♥
 It was the first time I could try on all these beautiful AP dresses in store! And I spent a looong time there doing so haha, I was so happy! ♥

In the same street you can find Gothic&Lolita Used clothing store 'Near'!  It's not as big as, for example, Closet Child, but still worth a visit! They also have a nice selection of Vivienne Westwood shoes and accessory~

Of course, there are even more Lolita stores, like Metamorphose, Baby, the Stars shine bright and Innocent World, where I unexpectedly spent a lot of money... but I will tell you about that in another post!

Are there any new styles you want to try in the new year? Anything that inspires you at the moment? Please, let me know~

Have a nice day! ♥ ♥

[JAPAN] Great cities: Osaka ♥ Shopping at Shinsaibashi OPA

Hello everyone ♥
Now that I finally have Internet again, a new blogpost ♥
On my last weekend in Osaka I visited with two friends of mine the Shinsaibashi shopping district!
Shinsaibashi is a really cool part of Osaka, maybe you could say it's the 'Harajuku of Osaka', very cool and stylish people! It's also where the famous Shinsaibashi OPA shopping center is located, so of course we went there to do some shopping ^-^

One of my favourite shops, jóuetie!

And my first time visiting merry jenny, such a nice store!! I fell in love with a shirt from merry jenny when I saw it on my favourite blog fashionsquid, so when I spotted the shirt in store, I had to buy it ^.^

Many many nice shops!

And, my first visit at ma*rs store!! I was so happy! ^__^

Aww ♥

The shop staff at ma*rs was very friendly and we could talk a bit with the help of my friends ♥

All the best Gyaru shops in one place ♥ You should all definitely go there if you visit Osaka!

Cute roomwear ♥

And Shinsaibashi is not only a good place for Gyaru shopping, but also for Lolita~ I'll show you more pictures in another post! 

Are you already in Christmas - time mood? ^__^ In Japan we had a bit of snow this week! Hope, everyone's fine!
