♡ A day at Sanrio Puroland | sparkling Christmas 2022! ♡

Hello sweet angels!♡

For today’s blog post, I’m so excited to be sharing a little about my most recent trip to Sanrio Puroland…! ♪ I decided to visit in early November, when they introduced this years Christmas theme, ‘sparkling pink christmas’ ꒰⑅ˊ͈ ˙̫ ˋ͈⑅꒱

I’ve also posted a short video vlog on instagram if you haven’t already seen it!♡

♡ Travelling to Puroland ♡

To get to Puroland, I had about a hour-long tube journey from Shinjuku-sanchome station. Although I was a bit nervous travelling by myself, it went very smoothly and the tube system was easy to navigate! I also got to travel half of the journey in a woman’s-only carriage, which was a relief as the train was quite busy. By the time I’d arrived at Keio-Tama-Center station, it was initially a little confusing as there weren’t the classic Puro decorations that I remembered from the last time I visited (which i also wrote a blog about!), but then I realised it was because my train was just further out from the centre of the station. Then, following the directions, I’d arrived at the adorable front gates…!

Because I was travelling there on a weekday, and had bought my ticket the night before, there was no queue and I was able to walk in easily. I’d really recommend buying your ticket ahead of visiting the park, as I’m sure the ticket queue is much bigger on the weekend…! however, I did have to show my passport, which was a little strange as I wasn’t requested to do this at Disney or Universal…?♡

♡ Lady Kitty’s Palace ♡

Once I was there, I immediately headed to the beautiful palace of Lady Kitty …! This is one of my favourite parts of the park as everything is the *perfect* shade of pink, with many beautiful girly and princessy details. This part of the park has a shopping section, various photo spots, and Kitty‘s home! The queue was quite short, and I only had to wait about ten minutes♡

Once we were welcomed into Lady Kitty‘s house, there were so many pretty spots for photos and to have fun! I really loved this closet, that opens up to reveal a giant bear! It was such a surprise as I’d been standing in front of it hehe

Then before meeting Lady Kitty, I decided to take some photos…!♡ The lighting in puroland is actually quite nice for selfies, and all the makeup products in Lady Kitty‘s room are giant, so it makes it feel like you’re a doll…! For todays code, I’d decided to wear this Liz Lisa x My Melo print dress from my previous post with the Donki My Melo crocs, knee high socks, and accessories from Paris Kids and Lafary (as well as My Melo ears bought from the puro shop, of course!)

I then queued to get my photo with Lady Kitty, although to be honest I wasn’t so bothered…! I’m just a My Melody fan, although I’d definitely stay in this beautiful mansion if it meant I could sleep in this beautiful bed, hehe♡

Before I left Lady Kitty‘s realm, I had to get the classic photo in her strawberry carriage…!♡ Despite being alone on this trip, I worked up the courage to talk to someone and ask her to take my photo…!~♪ And I’m really happy I did, as this family were so sweet and friendly, and took some photos for me that I really like. If you’re travelling alone, don’t be afraid to ask others for help taking pictures, everyone is really kind♡ 

♡ Cinnamoroll anniversary café ♡

I decided to visit this limited cafe as it was super pretty, and seemed to have beautiful sweets…!♡ The sparking Christmas only had meat dishes available, so I wanted to get something that was vegan (or, more realistically, vegetarian) friendly, but still cute and tasty. I also visited early to avoid queuing, which seemed to be a good idea as when I passed this cafe a couple hours later, there was a long queue…!~♪

I decided to get the milk cheesecake and banana milk set, with this pretty strawberry jelly yogurt drink~ overall, everything tasted quite nice!♡

 I’m not a huge fan of milk in general, but it looked so cute, it was fun to pose and take photos with hehe~ as for the cheesecake, it was a little confusing as the base is actually a piece of waffle…? Regardless, it was simple but tasty. The drink was very sweet (as you can probably tell from the photo, hehe!) and overall, it was okay. I probably wouldn’t order these items again, but they make for a cute photo? And, I suppose, the event is limited, so they’re somewhat special

♡ My Melody’s room ♡

After my very sweet meal, I headed to my most anticipated part of the park: My Melo’s room! This area is mainly a shop, with some cute photo spots. The last time I was here, it looked completely different, but honestly it’s even cuter now…! ꒰#’ω`#꒱੭

The entrance had this adorable christmas tree that you could take photos with…! Lots of people had brought along oshigoto goods to use as photo props, and it was too cute! I took some photos of my Madoka-chan and Jyushi-kun plushies with it, which I’ll be posting on my instagram around Christmas time~♪

One of my favourite photo spots is this adorable My Melody with a little heart…! And of course, the beautiful cherry blossom table. I took some photos here, thanks to the lovely girls in the queue behind me who also loved My Melo♡

This cake really added a special feel to the room, it was just so beautiful..! Everything was pastel pink, and I felt so happy being surrounded by the beautiful sakura and My Melo goods

After having an amazing time shopping, I decided to visit my favourite ride: My Melo drive! ♪

 You can see the full video on my instagram reel, my favourite part is seeing baby Melo!! I just adore all the sweet characters in My Melo‘s life, and getting the cute photo taken (that you can decorate…!) I’m still getting used to how quickly purikara asks you to edit photos, but eventually I’ll decorate in time hehe!

Finally, I went to view the sparkling christmas show, which was absolutely adorable!♡

Cogimyun had her own little singing solo which was too cute, although unfortunately by this point it had gotten super crowded, so it was hard to see…! I couldn’t wait to see the performance from the front row as I had very little time before rushing off to see a friend in Akihabara, but next time when I’m not so busy I’ll make sure to sit front row and get good photos to share with you!♡

Here’s a summary of all the things that I’d ended up purchasing…! As I’d already been to a few Sanrio stores prior, I didn’t go too crazy and just bought the things that I’d really wanted… as well as a Hypmic Samatoki figure and Pui Pui Molcar cable bite, hehe!

Overall, I had an incredible time and would really recommend Sanrio puroland to anyone considering going, it’s just such a happy and fun place. Everyone was so nice to me, and a few people even recognised the print that I was wearing !! ♡

My main advice would be to try and get there as early as possible, as many popular merchandise and food items will sell out quickly. Additionally, take lots of photos, and start sitting to wait for the live show at least half an hour before it starts if you want a good view!

Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful day~♪

Liz Lisa x My Melody 2019 & 2017 prints | reviewing three dream dresses!♡

 Hello everyone…!♡

For todays blog post, I’m so excited to be sharing my most recent secondhand Liz Lisa purchases, three more lovely lizmelo dresses, as well as my thoughts on them, comparing the lovely details and shades of pastel pink!♪

I’ll also link my previous Lizmelo posts here too, if you’re interested in seeing more photos of Liz Lisa’s other my melody collab items! ꒰∗´꒳`꒱

♡ Liz Lisa x my melody 2017 print - pink colourway ♡

The first dress that I’ll be looking at is one of my ultimate Liz lisa grail dresses, this beautiful sailor collar dress with many ribbon details…! This dress is such a lovely shade of pink, and matches perfectly with most other my melo related accessories, such as this pretty lizmelo handbag from the 2019 release. 

The scalloped collar of this op is absolutely adorable, and such a unique twist on the sailor collar style! I love how many ribbons there are hehe (๑°꒵°๑)･*♡

This print also includes an adorable design of roses, ribbons, pale lace and little My Melody’s with various poses, wearing a sweet flower crown and her own Liz Lisa dress! I love how pastel but vibrant this print is, and the flower arch design around My Melo♡

How pretty is the back of this dress…! The same pretty ribbon design is continued on the back, with sweet scalloped edges. The stripe lace pattern is so subtle but adds to the sailor dress theme, this print feels like something Melo would wear to a magical girl theme school♡

I’ve also included a little coordination photo as this dress looks so pretty with this Maison de fleur my melody bag…! The pastel pinks match perfectly, I’d really recommend these two pieces coordinated together ♡

♡ Liz Lisa x my melody 2019 print - pink colourway ♡

Although this print isn’t so new to my wardrobe, I thought I’d include some photos as it’s just so lovely…! This design features a much paler pink than the other dresses in this review, but on its own it really stands out and is so pretty♡

The promotional advert for this dress was just so adorable! This collab also included a backpack, pouch and charm too♡

I also coordinated this dress with my new pink hair and Vivienne necklace…! Lizmelo op’s are so detailed, you can put together a cute coordinate with few other pieces ♡

This dress has a simple Peter Pan collar with delicate lace, pink ribbon and rose buttons, so simple but beautiful. The ruffles are so princess-y too! ૮⸝⸝ >  ꇴ <⸝⸝ づ

The highlight of this dress for me, however, is definitely the print! Adorned with roses, lace, ribbons and little Melo’s holding love letters with flower crowns, this dress is too adorable… it almost has a vintage, shabby chic feel to it ໒꒱

I love how the letters are addressed to ‘dear my friend’, with little stamps and detailed stationary! Maybe My Melo is writing to Sweet Piano, or even Kuromi? ૮꒰ྀི ⸝⸝´ ˘ `⸝⸝ ꒱ྀིა

 

♡ Liz Liza x my melody 2019 print - pink colourway ♡

The final dress that I’ll be sharing today is this beautiful baby pink op that was also made in 2019….! ໒꒱

I purchased the bag and charm at the time, and regretted not being able to afford the dress…! Ironically, I decided against it as i thought the print was too similar to other years… little did I know that in the future I’d see these dresses so differently, hehe! I’m so grateful to have found this beautiful print to match my favourite handbag and charm~(ꈍ ᴗ ꈍ✿)

What really stands out to me about this dress is how vibrant the pink is- such a gorgeous baby pink! It contrasts so well with the white sleeves and darker pink ribbon details. I also adore the pink and gold ribbon buttons, how perfect! And the heart shaped lace… it’s just too cute!♡

Unlike the other two dresses in this review, the back of this op is a little more simple! Featuring a lovely baby pink corset tie ribbon, and simple collar…♡

A little close up of this gorgeous print…! The ribbon theme is just adorable, and My Melo’s sweet poses look so sweet and girly~ (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

Thank you so much for reading this review angels! ♡

I hope it was as enjoyable to read as it was to write, if only liz lisa still released multiple new lizmelo dresses every year… we can dream, right? ꒰⑅ˊ͈ ˙̫ ˋ͈⑅꒱

Lots of love,

Liz Lisa’s ‘cupcake bunny’ & my melody winter collab review!♡

Hello cupcake bunnies!♡

I can’t believe it’s already February, but i wanted to share some sweet photos of Liz Lisa’s bunny print and most recent my melo collab that i took this winter…!~♪ It’s been a busy couple months so I couldn’t be more excited to share some photos of this dreamy print, as well as some of the sweet details…  (♡ >ω< ♡)

I’m also so happy to be reviewing the first Lizmelo collab that includes Sweet piano, My melo-chan’s sheep friend! If you’re interested in seeing the adorable charms, please keep on reading… ♡ I’ve also posted two mini unboxings for these items, if you’re interested the link can be found here, on my reels and ig video!

Liz Lisa’s cupcake bunny print op, skirt and clips!~♪

My first thought upon seeing this print was that it is just… gorgeous! There is essentially everything that i want in this print; bunnies, cupcakes, pink ribbons, lace, hearts, and the list goes on! That’s why i decided to purchase both the op and skirt. 

Official artwork for this pretty print! 

♡ Liz Liza ‘cupcake bunny’ op- pink colourway ♡

Let’s take a closer look at the print and some of the sweet details… ♡

the first detail that I couldn’t resist talking about is the sweet white bunnies with pink ribbons, adorned with little heart shaped pearl details! I find that Liz Lisa’s bunny designs are always so sweet and remind me a lot of a stuffed animal. The golden fork with ‘LL’ engraved on it is such as sweet touch, it definitely makes me wish liz lisa still sold homeware like this! ♡

And how pretty is the variety of pink, purple and white cupcakes? My favourite is definitely the pink variation with little bunny ears, its just so sweet and a really clever design! U・ᴥ・U

And the upper part of both the dress and skirt feature this gorgeous bunny ear rose bouquet and more of the sweet fork design…!♡ it was so lovely to see this, as so many of my other Liz Lisa bunny prints just don’t have any rabbit related motif at the upper part of the dress. The more bunny details, the better in my opinion!~♪

And here’s a close up of the upper part of the dress…! ꒰⑅ˊ͈ ˙̫ ˋ͈⑅꒱

I just love this so, so much oh my goodness… there’s so many lovely details and ribbons, hearts, lace that, in addition to the little bunnies and cupcake details, it really does feel like this dress could be one of my top 5 Liz Lisa prints…!♡

My only critique however, is that the centre ribbon is a little small for my taste…! I do tend to prefer more flamboyant ribbons (Liz Lisa’s ‘chocolate gateau’ that i reviewed here definitely has that ott style ribbon detail that i like!) however, I still love that this ribbon has a sparkly heart in the middle, so I’m not too bothered.

Another reason that i just adore this print is how beautiful the colour is. Pale pink is my favourite shade of pink, it’s just so girly and sweet!~ ♪ 

I feel as if even simple photos like this with the adorable print look cute! Please excuse my older nails from this photo, i think maybe my bunny themed ones now would look better… ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡

♡ Liz Lisa ‘cupcake bunny’ skirt- pink colourway ♡

In the past, when I’ve seen a cute print that i like I’ve always gone for the op, and sometimes regretted it as I also adore Liz Lisa skirt prints so much for their versatility in coordinates!

In addition to that, this skirt featured an adorable removable apron that was just too cute to pass up…! 

This skirt features not only a gorgeous transparent apron detail, but also a sweet centre ribbon, lovely heart buttons to match the dress and heart embellishments all over the lace. I love the attention to detail even in small places, like the polka dot lace at the end of the dress…!♡ 

The back of this piece features a big chiffon ribbon (that holds the apron in place)~ ♪ 

I do prefer the ribbon tie on the op to this, as it features the print and same lovely pink fabric as the dress, however this chiffon ribbon does serve as a functional part to deciding if you’d prefer to wear the apron accessory or not. All the coordinates I’ve styled so far have the apron included, so I don’t think I’ll be removing it any time soon! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

Whilst I wont go into detail about the high waist jeans or knit jumper I purchased in this order (as they aren’t really related to this print, and were featured in my unboxing video anyway), i did just want to write a little on the jumper as i used it in a couple coordinates with this print…!♡

♡ Layer open shoulder knit - white colourway ♡

This knit jumper is just so sweet! I really love the lace detailing at the top, and the pink heart shaped buttons. It’s also super soft and comfy, I love how long and oversized the sleeves are! I’ve been wearing my other off-shoulder pink jumper so much recently, that purchasing different variations of this style has been on my mind. It’s also been very cold, so investing in more Liz Lisa knitwear seemed like a good idea~ ꒰⑅ˊ͈ ˙̫ ˋ͈⑅꒱

And before I share the styling photos, I couldn’t resist including these lizmelo charms in todays blog post!♡ for Liz Lisa’s winter my melody collaboration, they released these adorable my melody, sweet piano and kuromi charms! All look adorable, but what is most exciting is that this is the first sweet piano charm Liz lisa have made! ~ ♪

I ended up getting both the my melody charm as always, and sweet piano. Kuromi does look adorable, but I'm definitely bias to my pink girls… ♡

Both charms feature this gorgeous dress that has little pictures of them together, flower crowns with sweet jewels and a little scalloped collar!~♬ The dress design itself is one of my favourites Liz Lisa have released, so its such a shame they didn’t release an op of it! Regardless, these charms are just so sweet. I love the little wink they both have, and blush! It’s an identical face to the 2019 melo (who i reviewed here !) but that doesn’t bother me too much as both feature quite different dress prints. A sweet detail about these charms, however, is that they have a plush heart shaped Liz Lisa logo attached, which is more reminiscent of earlier lizmelo collab items!

I'm also really glad that Liz Lisa have gone back to this base sculpt for their lizmelo charms, as i do prefer them a lot more to their recent designs, such as this 2020 lizmelo, who i do love, but i just think her pose isn’t as cute…*⋆˚꒰ˊૢᵕˋૢෆ꒱ 

Here’s a little size comparison of some other lizmelo pieces! In the centre are the new charms~

I think they look so sweet together, albeit very similar…! ♡ 

And here are some of my most recent codes styling these, albeit quite simple…♡

I wish i could show the shoes that i wear with coordinates more often, but im also worried to wear them in my room in case they aren’t completely clean…! However, due to the cold i tend to wear my pink ribbon Ugg boots with almost everything, so its not so special lol :>
