Liz Lisa’s ‘gingham cafe’ | reviewing one of my dream dresses! ♡

 Good morning fluffy pancakes…! ♡

Today’s post is so exciting, as i finally got round to purchasing one of my dream Liz Lisa dresses secondhand… gingham cafe in the pink colour way. I’ve dreamed about owning this dress for years, but it’s quite hard to find, and when you do it tends to be very overpriced.  

But after finally finding it on yahoo.jp auctions for a somewhat decent price, and in perfect condition, I just had to go for it, and am so glad to have done so…! ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ✩‧₊˚

The main reason that I’ve grown to adore this print is for how retro, but princess like it feels. The little gingham ribbons tied on cherries, delicate roses and array of sweet pancakes and treats make you feel like you’re looking at a vintage dessert advertisement!~♪

The body of the dress features an abundance of cherries and Liz Lisa’s signature pink roses. I find that quite a few of my favourite Liz Lisa prints have cherries on them, and it might be due to how sweet and shiny they look… or how cute the little ribbon details on them are!♡

Whilst in my code photos, this dress may appear a bit more of a baby pink shade, but the actual colour is this pale pink! I adore how the gingham pale pink x white colour scheme looks with a simple ribbon and lace trim at the collar. Although the overall look isn’t as extravagant as other Liz Lisa prints, I actually think this style is so flattering and adorable in it’s own way…!~♪

And of course, there is an adorable fluffy layer of tulle on the underskirt of the dress…! This is one of my favourite details that Liz Lisa add to their dresses, as it just gives the piece so much more shape and cuteness U・ᴥ・U

My favourite detail on this print have to be the stack of pancakes, adorned with honey and flowers. Not only is there this stunning lace boarder, but ribbons and roses just look so pretty and cute along with the desserts…! The teacup even has a golden edge, how beautiful♡

The other gorgeous details on this print feature a cherry cupcake and another pretty dot pattern teacup~♪ The attention to detail is just impeccable, the cupcake even featuring a little ‘Liz Lisa’ logo! It makes me feel like I’m at a vintage girly themed picnic or tea party ♡

And here’s a little overview of the coordinate I put together with this op!

Dress: gingham cafe in pink by Liz Lisa 

Hair ribbons: off brand, handmade from yahoo.jp auctions

Hair clip: Liz Lisa x my melody (reviewed here!)

Bag: Sanrio puroland 2018 my melody print 

Bag charm: my melody kindergarten series charm 

I really enjoyed coordinating items that fit the colour scheme of this print! Pink x red is such a cute combo, especially when the red details are adorable little cherries… I got these hair ribbons especially for this code, and couldn’t resist a few my melo details♡

Thank you so much for reading about one of my favourite prints angels…! I hope that your November is going well, and cannot wait to share some pinkmas content soon…

                                                            Lots of love,

                                                          ♡ Evie xox ♡

                                                     

Lodispotto & girly J-fashion brand spring 2021 haul ♡ charms, codes and more...!

 Good morning sweet sunflowers!♪ ♡

For today's blog post, I'm so excited to be writing another spring collection review and haul, as well as sharing my most recent (albeit quite simple!) codes. It seems like springtime is when all the cutest pieces are released by brands, and Lodispotto is no acception...♡

 ♡ Lodispotto 'Mignon' pearl Face Mask - white colourway ♡

This simple yet cute mask caught my eye, for the delicate lace details and pearl embroidered ribbon, which match so well with the pink writing. Although the pink colourway is also cute, I decided to go with white as I need more masks that match different shades of pink in my wardrobe...꒰⑅ˊ͈ ˙̫ ˋ͈⑅꒱

It was only after purchasing this mask that I realised a little pouch is included for storage, and it has an adjustable wire built in for your nose...! These types of masks are so much more comfortable (at least, in my experience). The lace pattern is also continued on the other side, and looks so sweet♡ 

♡ Lodispotto Petit Rose Fille op- white colourway ♡

This delicate floral print dress was the piece that inspired me to purchase from Lodispotto's spring collection; I absolutely adore the feminine cut, lace embellishments and ribbons. This print was also so special to me, as my sister bought a matching ver. in the blue colourway!

My first code with this dress...! I decided to pair this print with ParisKids earrings, a Tiffany & Co. pink silver heart bracelet, Liz Lisa pink ribbon wedges and Collectif strawberry bag with a fluffy Maison De FLEUR poodle charm!♡ Once the weather is warmer, I think a ribbon straw hat would be so cute with this print too. Wearing this op was so soft and comfortable, I can't wait to create other codes with it...꒰#’ω`#꒱੭

 ♡ Maison De FLEUR toy poodle charm- pink ribbon  ♡

I couldn't resist sharing a little close-up photo of this toy poodle charm, too! After browsing the Maison De FLEUR tag on secondhand auctions, she seemed too cute not to pick up♪ ♡

I also absolutely adore my other charm from their brand (a little pink bunny from this blog post!) and accessorise my bags with her all the time, so finding a friend for her was so sweet!

♡ Lodispotto Fleur Fairy Knit - pink colourway ♡

A piece that I was so, so excited to receive was this beautiful pink knit! The fabric is so soft and light, perfect for spring weather ꒰♡ˊ͈ ु꒳ ूˋ͈꒱.⑅*♡ Another detail that I absolutely love is this delicate embroidery around the collar; little pearls, flowers and leaves just add so much cuteness and elegance...

 The sleeves are also absolutely beautiful! I love floaty, princess style sleeves like these, and the embroidered flower clusters are such a cute detail ♡ I can imagine this style of knit blouse being so cute with a floral printed skirt, or perhaps a tulle princess style piece?

♡ Romantic Dolly Blouse - white colourway ♡

This simple pearl accent blouse seemed to be so versatile for spring to summer, and had such a cute sweetheart neckline with the cutest little pearl details. I'm always looking for new blouses that can be coordinated with many outfits, and perhaps this simple white piece may be the solution to that ♡

The white tulle sleeves are also so beautiful...! The bell shape is so elegant and sweet, I really love the look of tulle, and so am overjoyed to see so many pieces Lodispotto has with it ♪ 

♡ Mille Fille Closet Princess Cream Blouse - pink colourway ♡

I also picked up another blouse by Lodispotto's (sadly discontinued) sister brand, Mille Fille Closet...! As it was preloved, the seller also included the sets matching skirt, which I also absolutely adore ♡ This seems to have a casual princess feel to it!

One of the reasons this blouse captivated me is for the many pretty and delicate details. The pearls adorning the front, layers of ruffle and lace, back ribbon and beautiful sweetheart neckline all create a feminine and lovely piece...♡

♡ Mille Fille Closet flower swan skirt - white colourway ♡

This beautiful tulle skirt was an absolute necessity to me, despite the fact I rarely wear blue themed items; tulle is such an elegant material, and skirts like this are so comfortable, yet pretty~  *⋆⑅˚꒰ˊૢᵕˋૢෆ꒱ The first underskirt also features a beautiful floral lace pattern, which is just perfect...! I feel that this piece will be perfect for both summer and winter, with the pale blue patching snowflakes, or a sweet summer sky♡

And this is my first code with the Mille Fille closet items...! I paired them with a gold rose heart necklace and Liz Lisa white ribbon platform sandals (with little gold hearts ♡) to try and create a simple girly summer look. I'd also love to pair this blouse with Liz Lisa printed skirts, or the skirt with a white lace blouse or fluffy white cardigan in the winter...♪

♡ Ladurée Macaron Bag charm- mint colourway ♡

The final piece that I wanted to include in this spring haul is this beautiful macaron charm from one of my favourite shops in London...!♡ Despite having already purchased the pink version of this charm, the mint just seemed so cute and sweet with the pink and white macarons, and perfect for coordinating with other pastel colours~꒰* ॢꈍ◡ꈍ ॢ꒱.*˚‧

I hope that this post was somewhat interesting to read, as I had so much fun writing it...!

Although it's taken a little longer to sort out, I hope to finish my other blog posts sometime soon, and until then that everyone is doing well, staying safe and taking care♡

With love,

♡ Evie xox ♡

Liz Lisa winter 2020 collection ♡ review & unboxing!

 ♡ Hello angels !♡

I am so excited to share my thoughts and photos of Liz Lisa's newest collection, 'Tiny swan ballerina'...

From the delicate baubles and sweet snowflakes, to the snowy white swans and sugarplum fairy ballet slippers, Liz Lisa has created the perfect Christmas print~♡

Liz Lisa produced a skirt and a op of 'Tiny Swan Ballerina', both of which are so beautiful!

I decided to purchase the skirt, as I was so in love with the matching blouse (and wanted to pair this blouse with my other Liz Lisa prints ♡)

I also decided to pick up the matching hair ribbons and socks to complete the coordinate, as they were too cute to pass up!꒰´꒳`∗꒱

♡ heart lace socks in pink colourway ♡

To start off my winter haul, I couldn't resist picking up some of these beautiful ankle socks... 

The lace hem with soft pink ribbons and jewelled hearts is so gorgeous, as is the ribbon detailing across the side of the sock! ෆ๋

I'm always looking for cute new socks to match my shoes with, and thought these would be perfect for making some of my heels/loafers cuter꒰⁎˃ ॢꇴ ॢ˂⁎꒱➴

♡ Wabbling heart ribbon in pink colourway ♡

These ribbons have completely won over my heart! I couldn't resist as seeing the adorable hairstyles influencers like Sakihime have done with similar ribbons, I have wanted some in a similar style for quite some time.⑅*♡

The ribbons feature a baby pink satin-y material, floral white lace, and heart shaped pink details~ the lace is so soft to the touch! ꒰* ॢꈍ◡ꈍ ॢ꒱.*˚‧

In the centre of the ribbon is a faux pearl heart with a baby pink gem, and a dangling gold chain with multicoloured hearts; so detailed and cute ପ꒰*⑅ ॢ˘͈ꀧ˘͈ ॢ⑅꒱✩.*˚

The back of the ribbon has a sturdy gold clip~

Honestly, having these has just made me want to buy them in every colourway, mainly white! how perfect would that be for a fluffy winter coordinate, especially with the gorgeous cape Liz Lisa have also released for this winter...!

♡ 'Tiny Swan Ballerina' skirt in pink colourway ♡

Despite some worries with the fur on this piece being wrongly listed as faux, but seeming real (detailed more on my twitter ), this is such a beautiful piece! 

Adorned with ribboned ballet pumps, sweet swans and Christmas ornaments, this print is the perfect addition to my Christmas wardrobe꒰ෆ❛ั ु▿❛ั ु꒱

One of the main reasons I fell in love with this print are the adorable sugar cookies, and swan macaron! I adore sweet themed desserts in prints, especially when designed in such an elegant way ♡ most of my favourite prints have some sort of sweet/cookie theme!

Sweet ribbon pom-pom details! Honestly after the worry over these I will probably be replacing them, but the concept is so cute and they do look lovely ♡

♡ York Tulle Blouse in pink colourway ♡

This sweet white x pink blouse was a must have for me, as it has been quite a while since I loved a blouse this much!꒰⑅•ᴗ•⑅꒱

The pink ruffle and ribbon details, heart shaped buttons, and heart print mesh are all so elegant and cute- I've also become much more fond of shade of pink recently♡

I especially love the removable heart ribbon pin in the centre of the blouse! It is such a cute touch, I might even use this on some of my winter coats...

This blouse is so soft and comfortable, I adore this sheer material so much. I'm quite picky with blouse materials (hence why I wear dresses so often!) but this one is perfect to me, and seems light enough for spring/early summer ꒰✩’ω`ૢ✩꒱

   Here is an idea of how the full coordinate looks together! 

I am overjoyed with everything from this lovely collection, and can see myself wearing these pieces in so many different ways ♡

I hope this was as enjoyable to read as it was to write, and that everyone's winter is going well!꒰⑅ˊ͈ ˙̫ ˋ͈⑅꒱

Stay safe cuties,

♡Liz Lisa x My Melody 2020/16 review♡

Hello lovelies!♡

My last Liz Lisa post was over 6 months ago, so I felt that a new one was long overdue. And what better a place to start than with some dreamy cute lizmelo items?꒰∗´꒳`꒱

Not only did I buy some of the Liz Lisa pieces released in their new summer collection, I also managed to find one of my dream dresses from a 2016 collaboration on yahoo auctions♪ I had originally intended for these to be separate posts, but as they arrived at the same time it seemed more exciting to create a full lizmelo outfit haul.ᐝ.∗̥✩⁺˚⑅

Beginning with the 2020 items, I have mixed feelings in regards to this collab. On one hand, I felt the dress was not particularly exciting, and was a little disappointed to see the masks were not for sale on the international website. But on the other, I loved the Maison De Fleur inspired tote bag and thought the keyring was pretty unique ꒰✩’ω`ૢ✩꒱

♡Liz Lisa x My Melody Tote Bag♡

The first item I fell for is the mdf inspired bag*⋆˚꒰ˊૢᵕˋૢෆ꒱ Having two other Liz Lisa bags (neither of which are totes) I was interested to see what the bag would be like. The first thing I noticed is how big this bag is, and the second is the lovely, shiny gold melody♡

I love how soft this is, and also how simple but cute~ I can imagine this being perfect for a simple summer code with a long dress, heeled sandals and a ribbon straw hat ꒰⑅ˊ͈ ˙̫ ˋ͈⑅꒱

Cute check interior! There is also a single pocket that fits a wallet/keys/change, etc. I do like that this is a darker colour as black x pink is a cute colour combo♡

♡Liz Lisa x My Melody charm♡

The second item I purchased from the 2020 collab is this cutie - the featured keyring~♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱

I was particularly interested by her uchiwa, as the photo inside is interchangeable with any the same size; how cute would it be to have her hold a photo of your favourite idol, or a loved one ♪

I think the sitting pose for her is also so adorable; it makes me think that she is cheering on her favourite idol while they perform on TV ꒰♡ˊ͈ ु꒳ ूˋ͈꒱.⑅*♡ The semi-sheer pale pink ribbon at the top of her dress is a nice touch, it looks a little more sophisticated imo then the simple white ones some key rings have.

Like the other Melo's from the past few years, she has a ball chain and keyring clip on her back, but a relatively simple dress finish. Unlike other Melos, she does not have a heart 'Liz Lisa' attachment keychain with her! 

here I have a little size comparison (from left, Maison DE FLEUR Melo, LizMelo phone pouch, Lizmelo 2018~20, My Melody simple plushies, Mewkledreamy large plush and the new Melo herself!)

She is a little bigger than the other melo's, but a little smaller than the mdf one♡

♡Liz Lisa x My Melody 2016 op | pink colourway ♡

The final piece I shall be talking about today is one I did not expect to own, but have wished for years to obtain꒰* ॢꈍ◡ꈍ ॢ꒱.*˚‧ In my mind, I call this the 'Lizmelo princess dress' because it is just so princessy! This is so Himegyaru/kaji I couldn't help picking it up~

As I got a good deal on this piece, I was concerned there would be some discolouration, but after a wash this dress looks almost new꒰ˊૢᵕˋૢෆ꒱ I love the little ribbons and ruffles...

What really made this dress a princess dream to me was the lace detailing underneath the print♡. I also adore how sweet and feminine My Melo-chan looks with her flower crown and wink expression; so perfect for the feminine theme୨୧*˚· I can see this dress pairing so well with so many different pieces~

The back of the dress features a classic ribbon tie and a lovely finish to the white collar (also ft. me in the mirror standing on my tiptoes to take this photo xD)~♡

Overall, I am so happy with the items from this 2020 collab I purchased, and the 2016 dress. Both really do reflect why Lizmelo is such a cute collab, and will be treasured in my collection♡

I really hope you enjoyed this post, and am so excited to share my many other upcoming ones with you~! ꒰⁎˃ ॢꇴ ॢ˂⁎꒱ 

stay safe and stay kind,

♡Evie xox♡
