Halloween masterpost!

Spooky~
As Halloween slowly approaches, it feels like the world is falling to the spoopy skeketon war Apocalypse. Thus, I bring bargain deals to make October seem much better for the Kawaii folks out there!

New Purchases

Hi everyone! Sorry for this coming out SO late, but as a high school student the month of September was spent studying for the upcoming SATs. In fact, I'm taking my test next week, so wish me luck!

With bodyline's 20% off sale, $10 off shoe sale and temporary free shipping until Halloween, a ton of my favorite shoes and items from them have sold out. >_>
Even so, I've been buying a few things of my own! 
So here are a few miscellaneous purchases:
*Gasp* What's in the bag????
A super cute bag for a super cute store! New York is filled with more "Asian" districts like 8 ave in Brooklyn, Chinatown in Manhattan, and Flushing in Queens. There are lesser known "Asian" places but these are the big three.
Ta-Da! A navy polkadot usamimi and a pack of three pink x purple cherry hair clips. I got the usamimi for five dollars, and the hair clips for two. They also threw in some business cards~
Ignore the laptop in the corner
Cute!
Here we can see the usamimi. It's a good size and really cute when worn. A great purchase!
3 clips for 2 dollars
Any fan of decora is sure to love these clips. I've been watching Tokyo Fashion videos on Decora, more specifically the decora hair tutorial by Haruka Kurebayash. It's really cute, and you should check it out!
Prior to the navy usamimi, I only owned a small one from Claires I believe. It was about ~$4 or something, but I REALLY love usamimis so I snatched it up!
 There's a picture below to show the size difference. This plaid one has three small gold pieces on both sides, and is much smaller so it fits wrists better.
I could only envision this one being worn with a big scrunchie with a side ponytail or a long ponytail/braid in the back.
Any suggestions for how to wear this?
Cute!


Detail!
This sheet only cost $1 since it was on sale, so I quickly snatched it up! ADORABLE stickers to be put on your face. I could easily see these being used for decora, OTT sweet or fairy kei. Even some Creepy Cute or Pastel Goth lovers could use these to give their outfits an extra pop!

Okay, so this was just a mix of items that will work for the jfashion aesthetic. I'd strongly recommend any lover of the Asian fashions to check out the places I listed above in New York, because you'd definitely find bargain goods that are cute!

I'm working on another review for Sweet Poison Cupcakes, so keep an eye out for that!
Have a spoopy Halloween!

Bodyline review 1.5 (Necklaces, Skirts and Petticoat)


Hello there! This is my first review of a huge haul I ordered off of bodyline! It's made up of exactly 21 items, and was separated into two packages! This review will be covering shipping, service, and some of the items received.

Shipping/Packaging:
☆/
Bodyline's shipping was pretty much fine. I don't have a picture of it but accessories were packed in a shoe box (as well as a wig, but that's not in this review) that protected them from getting damaged. One of the stars has been taken off because one of the packages came with tears in the bag, and the shoe box was pretty beat up. They still came in a timely matter though, so four stars it is!

Communication:
/
I pretty much gave full stars for the service since there was never I point that I needed to communicated with bodyline about anything. All my items came intact, and I got the shipping info as needed. I paid and got my items, and that was that.
  
Items to be reviewed:
  acc011 (petticoat!)
- l190  in blu
- l125 in blk
- l162 in pik
- acc1028
- acc1213
-acc1214

Hello and Welcome to Lacy Dreams!

Welcome to Lacy Dreams! I made this blog when after fawning over other popular lolita blogs and trying to post decent reviews on tumblr I realized that a blog of my own would be fun! So welcome to my blog!

What is Lacy Dreams?
As an aspiring young (well, relatively anyway :P) lolita, this blog will consist of outfit posts, product reviews, the journey into lolita and passing trends! Of course, there will undoubtedly be some personal posts. My plan is to update once a week or two weeks, probably weekend updates.

Who are you?
As a high school student, I don't have an income and spend quite a bit of my time drawing up frilly designs and studying for upcoming tests. Therefore all my purchases will be funded by family members and so reviews occur at random times. I'm bilingual (Mandarin Chinese and English) and live in NYC. Since I'm still rather new to the lolita life and have been hesitant to join the community this blog will be a record of me from the (hopefully not too ita) beginning of my journey.

I wear sweet lolita and like both OTT and Old school, although personally I don't tend to wear OTT. I've been interested in the fashion since 2010 and have made my first purchase exactly one year ago! My favorite brand is probably Baby The Stars Shine Bright, but I also like Metamorphose Temps de Fille and Innocent World. As of now however, I pretty much only own off-brand, handmade, bodyline and taobao! I'm hoping with the opening of a BABY store in NYC that I will buy more of their items!

 I hope you enjoy my blog! ^-^
