♡Traditional Ryokan | Hakone & Yudanaka ♡

Hello everyone! ♪

One of my favourite memories from my time in Japan is staying in some beautiful hotels, surrounded by nature. Outside of Tokyo, I spent a few nights in two different traditional style Ryokan, both of which I loved, and wanted to share the pictures here on my blog!~

Hakone

This has to be one of my favourite places I have ever stayed in. The rooms have a beautiful mountain view and water from the nearby springs for your own private baths. As someone who has never stayed in a Ryokan before, I was in awe by how simple yet pretty everything was ♡

Onsen attached to the room..

(they also had a koi pond which I forgot to photograph, but it was so pretty~♡)

Yudanaka

This ryokan definitely had a very traditional feel to it, feeling as if not much had changed throughout the years of it being open. While in Yudanaka we spent a lot of time travelling, so taking pictures throughout was a little challenging, but here are some I managed to take!♪

One of the specialities for Yudanaka: Buckwheat noodles...♡

The snow monkeys enjoyed the weather ^-^

There are tanuki everywhere!

One of the installations at the art gallery!♪

The traditional style foods were presented so beautifully, although unfortunately not much was vegetarian so I had to give some to the people I was travelling with xD ♡

The leaf plate is so cute!

Beautiful gold details..

Thank you for reading this post!♡ Although it was a little simpler than what i usually write, I still hope that it was interesting to see some of the photos from my holiday~♪

♡ Spring favourites 2019 ♡♪

♬Hello everyone!♬♪
I'm back with another blog post, for my spring favourites this year ♡
Life has been pretty hectic recently, especially with exams, but I've still found ways to write new blog posts, mainly because spring gives me a lot of photography inspiration, especially with the beautiful blossoms and pastel themed purchases~ ♪ ♬ ヾ(´︶`♡)ﾉ ♬ ♪

♡ Tiffany & Co. baby pink heart necklace ♡ 

I received this necklace as a birthday gift, and it is so beautiful!
The pastel pink and silver combination goes with a lot of my wardrobe, and gives that extra charm to any outfit. Most of my jewellery is gold/rose coloured, so it’s also nice to have more silver pieces for a change, especially one that is heart shaped!♪

Baby pink side...

The classic heart side..

♡ LullaBellz Hair extensions ♡

I finally caved in and got some new extensions!♪ This is the LullaBellz 20" strawberry blonde curly clip in hair extensions~
Even though the hair is synthetic, it looks and feels so real, with no unnatural shine or colours ᵔᴥᵔ
I've used LullaBellz in the past for when I had darker hair, and considering how affordable (under £20!♬) and well made their extensions are, would recommend them to anyone looking for fairy/princess /gal style hair, especially if you live in the UK~☆ヽ(^◇^*)/

I love this colour, it's so natural and soft..

The bag these extensions come in is great for storage ♪

♡ Ted Baker ribbon bag ♡

My current favourite bag has to be this gorgeous ribbon design one from Ted Baker!♪ The rose gold chain detailing and pastel pink colour make it so feminine and sophisticated.
Although it's perfect for spring, I will definitely  be using this all year round ♡

Also wearing a Liz Lisa code featured in the last blog post!~

♡ Disney Thumper Bunny Pyjamas ♡

My current favourite bedtime set is this one of one of the cutest bunnies, Thumper! ♬

I definitely have a bias because he looks a lot like my own rabbit, Arthur, but also adore how the grey x pastel pink looks for these~ It's sadly still very cold at night, so these are perfect to keep warm...

The material is so soft!

♡ My melody pink pencil case ♡

For this school year, I chose a white x pink love themed My Melo case with gold detailing.♪

It would be difficult to write a favourite post without My Melo in it, but this had definitely made my favourites list for being practical, durable and girly! 

that ruffle detailing..

♡ Primark false nails ♡

Ranging from £1-4, Primark has the most affordable falsies, that are also super cute!

Every time I've posted a new nail look, they've definitely been from here ヾ( ~▽~)ﾂ ♪

For how pretty and fancy they look, as well as the variety in cuts and styles, I'd definitely recommend trying them out~ ♬

♡ Etude house silk scarf hair essence ♡

I've been using this hair oil for a few months now, and am so in love! ♪ I have very fine, long and dyed hair, and whenever I use this it makes a world of difference. 

I used to be insecure about having brittle ends, but now my hair is really soft and smells like strawberries, so it definitely is a confidence booster (●´ω｀●) 

The packaging is pretty cute too..

♡ CamCam Lip & Cheek Gel ♡

I bought quite a few of these during my Japan trip last year, mainly because the way Canmake designs their products - very cute and compact! This colour is the most natural red I could find, and gives a healthy tint to cheeks/lips which looks very natural and cute~♬

 The inside has a tiny little mirror too, which is perfect for travelling! ᵔᴥᵔ

It looks a lot more natural in person ^o^

♡ Holika Holika Jewel-light under eye maker ♡

Another favourite for this month has to be this dual eye stick by Holika Holika (n˘v˘•)

The different sides give both a shine and a shadow to your under-eye area, making eyes look defined and soft in appearance~♪ 

I'd really recommend this product for giving sparkly, surreal looking eyes! 

The sides have little stars on them...☆

♡ Bare minerals performance wear liquid foundation ♡

Finding a foundation that is pale enough for me is challenging, but this bare minerals one is one of the most perfect matches I've had♬
The formula feels light on the skin, looks so natural, in addition to offering impressive coverage. I love using this with the blemish remedy concealer to achieve a clear and natural looking complexion, without doing damage to my skin. (*~▽~)

This is in the shade 'Fair 01' ♡

Thank you so much for reading (o´ω｀o)

Liz Lisa spring & outlet 2019 haul ♡

♡ Hello everyone♪ ♡

For this months blog post, I wanted to talk about the gorgeous spring collection that Liz lisa released!

As well as a couple of the items I got from the spring collection, I'll also show some of the outlet goods as they were too cute to leave out!(n˘v˘•)

♡ Poodle print skirt - pink / Spring collection ♡
This was the first thing that I became obsessed with in the new collection!
I love how simple yet detailed this skirt is. The shape is perfect for both formal and casual events, and since I have similar shaped pieces in my wardrobe, I knew I'd be wearing this a lot★~(◡ω◕✿)

This skirt also has shirring at the back!

Pocket details.... they have soft tulle~

Built in shorts, always a bonus ^^

A closeup of the print...

My favourite details from this skirt are the 'girls in bloom' signs and the gorgeous little poodles!
It just looks so feminine and happy ♡(●´ω｀●)


♡ Lace up satin blouson jacket - pink / Spring collection ♡
When I saw this jacket on the Liz Lisa website, I knew that it was exactly what I wanted for spring!
This jacket looks cute for an off-shoulder look as well, which is great for warmer weather.

I love these sleeves!~

The inside has a soft satiny material...

Close up of the ribbon details!

When the weather is warmer (aka not snowing!), I can't wait to wear these...♡

♡ Enamel ribbon sandals - white / Outlet ♡

While looking for a new pair of cute sandals for spring / summer, I found these adorable shoes from last years summer collection! During that time they were out of my budget, but after the sale (and some saving) I was able to get them (▰˘◡˘▰)

I love the gold x white details..

Close up of the Liz lisa charm and ribbons!

The back of the shoes! I love the lace details so much :>

I really recommend Liz lisa for comfortable (and cute!) shoes, especially as they have such a variety of sizes nowadays.

♡Ribbon Hair Clips / Outlet ♡

I picked up some simple clips for cute hair arrange styles! ᵔᴥᵔ 

This is the beige x white set, which I chose as these colours go with most things~

The white ribbons have gold LL logo's on them...

close up details...

♡LL x Ojamajo Doremi OP - white / Outlet ♡

When I saw this dress on sale, I was so excited! the bakery/chef theme is too cute, and combined with the magical girl details, this dress was too good to be true ;u;

The buttons and frill look like an apron..

The print has cookies of the show's letters and wands!

The back again has apron like details...♡

I'm thinking of doing some magical girl themed codes with this dress and the madoka magica x LL dress sometime soon! ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Shopping bags sent with my orders ^-^

Overall, I'm really happy with my order! The quality and details of everything is so gorgeous, and I would definitely recommend the outlet sales and spring collection~(n˘v˘•)
Thank you for reading!

Disneyland Paris at Christmas...♡

Hello everyone! ♪( ´▽｀)

For this month’s blog post, I wanted to talk about my recent trip to Paris Disneyland ♡
Unlike the other times I’ve visited, this year I was able to meet a lot more cast members, and take some adorably festive photos... :>
Although it was cold, visiting in December was worth it for the beautiful decorations and special events taking place, such as Mickey’s 90th birthday & the Christmas Tree Lights!

Thumper with his lovely tartan bow tie!~

The light show for Mickey’s birthday was so so beautiful~ The lights created a beautiful rainbow across the tree, but there were also some pretty fireworks! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)
You also didn't have to stay too close to see the show; as you can see from my pictures, I was pretty far away and could still hear and see the different moments in this show~

Purple hues & blue strobe lights...

The gorgeous rainbow lights!

The lighting of the Christmas tree is another must-see for your trip; Minnie and Mickey sing different carols before a beautiful light show on the centre tree, featuring different colours and effects! If you can, I’d really recommend seeing this show, it was so special and cute ^-^ the show was in both English and French, so it was understandable for most of the audience! It really felt like they had checked that every detail was perfect.

Minnie before lighting the tree!

Rainbow lights...

In comparison to the tree in the DLP hotel, this one has a lot more detail and colours..♡
It's also a bit bigger too! In fact, it blocks the view of the castle from the hotel XD

Brilliant blue ♪

However, my favourite thing about the trip was meeting the different characters in their festive costumes!
Most importantly, seeing Thumper (for the first time!) in person. Thumper is my all time favourite Disney character, and he was so funny and cute!♡
I didn't know you could even meet him outside of easter time, so this was a lovely surprise ^o^

I took a lot of pictures with him, but these were my favourites~ 

He also chewed on some candy canes while waiting for his picture to be taken, so cute!♡

I'm not sure if this photo shows how happy I was TuT~

Here are some (blurry!) pictures of Tiana and Belle's christmas outfits! They looked so beautiful and happy, I loved this part of the parade ♡

As well as all the main princesses, the parade also showcased the gorgeous outfits of the main characters!~ Although it was very quick, so I couldn't take good photos.. TuT

There were so many cute and delicious sweet treats at DLP this christmas!~

Although there were many pastries, cakes and desserts, my favourite has to be the hot chocolate; It has whipped cream, marshmallows and christmas tree sweets!♡ 

It was so tasty !

While waiting for my sister in Frontier Land, I had this delicious nutella crepe with a hot chocolate!
I really recommend it, especially when it's cold and you don't want to go on scary rides ♡ 

Even the crepe packaging was cute~

Overall, Christmas at DLP was an unforgettable experience, and if you're thinking about going there, I'd recommend christmas over almost any other time~ 

From the carols played throughout the park, to the adorable costumes, this has to be one of the most festive and cheerful places to stay at during the holidays~

as always, thank you for reading, and I'll see you in the next post!♡
