[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 Osaka station part 2 + I've won a Giveaway!!

Greetings to all mermaids out there! ♥ This is final part 2 about my shopping day at Osaka station ~

Osaka has so many stylish people, wow!!  I enjoyed strolling through the streets there so much!
To complete my picture spam of this day, here are the other wonderful gyaru shops located in Lucua shopping center: ( part 1 )

Honey Bunch ♥

Cecil McBee! 

One of the first shops I really fell in love with when I first discovered gyaru fashion ♥

You can often see small signs that tell you in which magazine this clothing item was featured, I think that's so cool! They should do that in Germany too! It's fun to know that you wear the same fashion item as, for example, your favourite model haha~

Elegant Murua store!

And some more pictures from SWIMMER/Chocoholic <3 All their items are soo cute! *-*

The other pins I've mentioned in previous postings!

Another really cute shop staff girl! 

... and right besides the gyaru shops you can get your nails done! :D Very practical!

There also was a Topshop where I found this cozy sweater! I want it!! Soo good for winter <3 

And now, as you could read in the title of this post: something magical happened! I've won a Giveaway!! :D 

This was a big surprise for me, because I've never won a Giveaway before ( and didn't think it would happen any soon)

The Giveaway was hosted by stylish German blogger Yulie Kendra and my prize is this beautiful vintage red bowknot dress!! Ahhh  ♥ ♥ ♥

I joined this Giveaway because the dress reminded me of an evening gown from one of my favourite movies, 'Moulin Rouge' ^////^  ♥
I'm so happy I've won it!
But, unfortunately, I will have to wait for 5 months 'till I can open the package! ^^' But oh well, at least now I have one more good reason to go back home after my journey I suppose ;)

That's all for today! Thanks for reading and have a nice evening~

[JAPAN] Great cities: Osaka ♥ Shopping at Osaka station part 1

Hello lovelies, a belated Happy Halloween to all of you!

This time I want to show you some pictures from my third weekend in Osaka ^-^
I took the train to Osaka station because I wanted to visit Jesus Diamante store which is nearby! You can find the store if you walk to Umeda Sky Building which you can see from the station ^-^

nice shop front ♥

...aaand inside the shop! It was sooo huuuge *O*

everything looked so elegant *-* I especially love JD shoes, they look simply amazing ♥ All ruffles and bows and flowers and just... wooow ♥ ♥

Too bad that Jesus Diamante is so expensive >////< I could've bought everything! But I think I will rather see if I can find somethin from JD at Closet Child haha~

After that I went back to Osaka station because there is Lucua shopping center located! ♥

 rainy day~

 At Lucua:

chocoholic by SWIMMER!

 with chocoholic shop staff!
I liked her outfit, perfect for autumn ♥

so many cute things ♥ I also bought something...! (will show it in my next post)

Gyaru shops~

*-* okay okay I have to stop now, too many pictures! As you can see it's a really nice place for shopping! I didn't even know of this shopping center when I came to Osaka.. I think Shibuya 109 Abeno and Shinsaibashi OPA are the most famous ones... but still Lucua is definitely worth a visit! I will show you the other shops and my latest buys in the next part of this post! ♥

And please tell me... How did you celebrate Halloween? ^-^  I'm curious about everyone's creepy stories!

Have a nice day! ♥
