Fairy and her 3DS...

Hello,
Uhh, I'm sorry for not posting anything since last Saturday >_____<
Here's the cause of it :
Yes, I've finally got my lovely 3DS <3  I made me happy like a rabbit in the carrot patch!
My friend code: 
2723-8344-0555

From last week I was doing nothing but playing Harvest Moon. It's sooo nice an enjoyable. One of the best HM games I've played <3 I love the idea of unlocking almost everything, and customizing you village. Also the new animal design is adorable!
2 days ago I've experienced my fist Black Friday in America hi hi. Of course I didn't go for the midnight shopping but in the morning I went with my husband to the local Gamestop ^____^
Soooo many new games <3 Some of them didn't have their original cover, just the ugly Gamstop case (I hated when Gamestop doesn't have original packaged for used games >___<), so my husband printed new ones and now they look just as nice as they should be <3 Well, maybe not the upside down Heavy Rain hi hi.
Tomorrow I'll probably start Rage. I'm really looking forward to it ^____^
I also got small thing form Clare's; two adorable bracelets! The one with cats is just precious hi hi. (I'm sorry for the blurry picture...)
And the last thing I want to share is my adorable Dream V coat.
 It's as cute in real life as it was on the photos <3

Two simple, daily outfits:

So you think you can ride this chocobo?

Hello,
I haven't play any good jrpg for some time now so I decided it's time to get a new game!
Unfortunately there aren't too many good jrpg games for ps3 so I really didn't know what to choose. In the end I felt a little bit nostalgic and decided to buy Final Fantasy 13-2.

I adore FF series soooo much but to be true, FF13 is my least favorite game of all FF games I've played. The characters weren't memorable like heroes from previous games and I just didn't feel any emotional connection with them ( not like for example with Tidus and Yuna; I was silently weeping for the whole FF10 ending >_____<), the story wasn't too exacting, there was no interaction with npc's, no free exploring. The game was just boring for me and I really fast forgot about it. I think if I had to point out its best point it would be defiantly battle music. I would say it's the most thrilling and proud battle theme I've ever heard! And I admit, riding chocobo on the wide, grassy and full of various living creatures  plains of Gran Pulse was quite exacting.
I didn't have too high exeptetion for FF13-2 but suprily I enjoyed playing it. First thing is the new Lightning design! Ohh my, she looks marvelous in her feather armor! Sliver shield and sword suites her sooo much like she would meant to be knight form the very beginning <3 Actually looking at proud lady knight Lithing made me buy this game! Ahh, when she's soaring the sky of Valhalla on Selphinrs back looks sooo majestic! It makes my little fairy heart pound faster <3

In FF13-2 (without dlcs) only 2 characters are playable; Serah and Nole and when Serah is quite cute Noles is... well he's Noel...  To make him a little more interesting, I made him wear the dlc N7 armor hi hi.  I also wanted the white mage outfit for Serah but my husband proudly presented me with the bikini  >____<

What I really enjoyed playing this game was monster taming! What can be more adorable then fighting alnog side of you Behemoth whit cute chocobo chick on his head, or a medic chocobo with cactuar ornamenting his back <3 I still have some monster to tame, I'm especially looking forward to have my own Tonberry on the team!

 The story again isn't the best part of FF13-2. Usually when time travel is involved with the plot nothing good comes out of it...  But I must say new desings of old character are soooo much better then the previous ones! 1000 point for new Snow looks.

The battle system for me is too simple and practically it's limited to choosing between 3 tactics. Random encounters doesn't give too much challenge so I'm not really keen about this either.
Well FF13-2 is for my a little bit too casual and I still don't admire it as much as the other FF games but I had some nice time with this game. Actually it reminded me of a FF10-2.
Also, ahhh the song from "Dying World" it's just heart moving, soooo sorrowful and melancholic.
Uhh, I only wanted to write some of my thoughts about FF but it turned out to bee quiet a long post, I'm sorry >____<

If anyone would like to add me as a firend here's my ps3 ID: Demon_Emily
Too bad I can't change my account name, "demon" doesn't suits little, green creature like me anymore...

Fairy prepares for the winter!

 As I mentioned in my earlier post I was planning to buy coat from DreamV and I finally did it <3
I had such a hard time, choosing between two colors; beige or brown. Both of them are just adorable and I always wanted to have brown brown coat but most of my winter accessorizes like scarfs, hats and boots are brown, also ma hair is brown so there's a big possibility that with brown coat I would look just like a fluffy, round bear hi hi. So in the end I took the beige one!
Now I just  hope it'll be warm, and worth of it's price!

Some time ago I also order Krad Lanrete's Mozarabic Chant JSK in ivory.
Ahh, this print is just wonderful! Really proud and majestic.

Winter's snow and cold are getting closer with every day, so for freezing weather warm, mori sweater.

And some small, little thing; the adorable, pastel cat T-shirt and cherubs thighs ^____^
Uhh, that's defiantly too much >___< Curse you evil fair's vanity...
I swear, I wont buy any new clothing until my Spring trip to Japan!

Taming the Taobao monster!

Hello,
I'm planing to start writing series of post with reviews of taobao stores and clothing. I shop from there quite often and now own quite a nice collection of different dresses, blouses, shoes and so on.
I tried different stores and from most of them I got really nice things but I know it really easy to end up with some low quality, unfitting and unfaltering clothing. That's why I want to share with you some of my experience.
Today I wan to start with small list of my favorite stores, but first some advices:

  1. Always look on seller's statistics. You wan to choose seller with 100% positives. Also it's good to choose seller with lots of transactions. You can tell the differences by looking at the sings under the seller name. The best are golden crowns, then blue crowns, diamonds, red hearts.  I usually don't buy from sellers who doesn't have at least 3-4 diamonds.
 2. It's always good to buy form sellers who provide their own original photos of products. You want to see what you will actually get, isn't that right?
 3.Browse trough different stores, often prices of the same items wary from seller to seller.
 4.  This is of course common sense but I'll write it anyway, if something seems to cheep it's better not to take chances and don't buy it.
 5. Carefully look at the garment's measurements. Taobao sizing tends to be much smaller then average European\American. I'm petite (155cm\40kg) so for me it's actually a big advantage because I can get clothing that actually fit small, little fairy creature like me. If you're taller, it's good to keep in mind that some dresses or skirts can end up being too short.
6. If you are unsure about specific item it's good to ask your shopping service for opinion. They should help you with all your concerns.

Shopping service:
I'm using Taobaospree for almost a year now and I can highly recommend them. They respond really fast, provide me with all the necessary information and always answer every question. Unfortunately, I haven't use any other ss, so I can't write anything more useful.
Now, some of my favorite store list:
Cute clothing:
MM Angel
Lots and lots of adorable laces, pearls, frills and delicate, ethereal materials.  Lovely place to look for nice blouses, sweaters and dresses.
Ruis collection
Both of this stores provide the same assortment. Very cute, romantic garments mostly in delicate, pastel colors. Wonderful place for sweet and innocent, everyday dresses <3

Lolita:
Surface spell
Wonderful store with classic/sweet lolita clothing. They have their own unique prints and some really beautiful dresses inspired by historical clothing.
Surface spell gothic
The same as the one above but with more gothic/aristocrat garments.
Dear Celine
Good store for nice lolita blouses. Also I highly recommend their petticoats <3
Infanta
They have a lot of cute lolita garments and some really nice original prints. Sweet, classic, gothic, every one can find something adorable for themselves<3

 Mori:
http://forestgirlfans.taobao.com/
http://shop34151877.taobao.com/
Warm an cozy clothing for every lovely forest girl.

I think that's all for now. Tough this entry didn't mean to be a guide but rather small collection of few advices, I hope it'll be useful for anyone who's planing to start ordering from Taobao.

I'm sorry, I know my writing skills in English are quite poor,  so pleas excuse my "wonderful" gramma.

Welcome to the realm of madame Winter

Ahh, first snow this year <3
I really like the day when the snow falls for the first time before winter. It always has something magical and beautiful. Especially in the evening, when the starry sky is covered with brownish clouds and those little white flakes falls from sky like swan's fluffy plumage.
It was snowing for whole night but unfortunately when I was taking the pictures most of snow already melted. Maybe it's for the better, because I still don't own winter coat or gloves or even earmuffs. ( I have my eye on adorable DreamV coat but can't decide on color, but when I'll buy it I'll write a small review!)
Yesterday's weather was great to try some warm and cozy mori outfit. I really wanted to wear something nice but in the end, as always it didn't turn too mori... Layering is soo hard for me. I usually just endup looking more like crazy old lady then cute forest girl >____<
I'm looking trough a lot of mori magazines and pictures on different tumblrs, I even own clothing form mori stores but still I can't coordinate something that would look like typical mori outfit.
But I believe one day I will success and proudly post it here!
To not to bore you any further, photos:

Yak and alpacas!!!

Ahh, what a torment it is >______<
This year I asked my husband for 3DS and new  Harvest Moon with Gamestop preorder plushie for Christmas. He knows how I love this game, how I enjoy grooming my cute cows and riding on adorable horsy and watering my crops and apparently, he tough torturing me will be fun so he gave me the game yesterday >_____<  This is just evil in its purest form.
Now I have new HM but can't play because I still don't own 3DS yet... Ahhhh, I just can't wait to raise my yak and alpacas!!!!!! I defiantly die of cuteness because this game...
I must say this is my first time getting HM with the plushie. It's  always only available in USA so I'm soo happy to have it. This little, fluffy yak is just to adorable <3

When the sun found the moon, she was drinking tea in a garden ...

Ahh, sometimes it's so hard for me to figure out if my outfit is still lolita and when it's already something else. I think classic lolita doesn't have as strict rules as sweet or gothic so it leave more space for your own invention. I'm inspired by different Japanese fashion styles; mori, doll kei, romantic gyaru and although actually I don't weary any of those styles, they influence my lolita.
Well in the end, as long as the outfit looks good naming it is not so important...
And now, outfit photos:

俺はお前を殺したいほど愛している...

Yesterday I've spend my first Halloween in the USA. Unfortunately I didn't do anything special on that occasion but I decided to wear something nice. I think it has been almost 3 years since I've changed my style from gothic to more cute and ethereal but I still own some nice black pieces. So yesterday I've changed my everyday deers, bunnies and Lillis of the valley for crosses, bats and black roses. Ahh, and the best part was that yesterday I could just walk by the town in my fancy, lace, black dress and nobody would even notice me <3 Now I want to have Halloween everyday >___<

Quoting on of my favorite Buck-tick song "Alive", defiantly that's how my yesterday's mood was <3
感じるこの瞬間が正と死だ傷を付けてやる
震える俺こそが正と死だ刻み付けてやる

Now's the time for the pictures. First of all I'm really sorry for the awful quality of pictures.  They were taken after the sunset and buuu, when it comes to photos, dusk and black dresses don't go together very well.
