❄ What I got for Christmas 2014! ❄

Hello everyone!

So my second blogpost of this year is actually going to be what I got for Christmas haul, I know it's late, but I still want to do it as I spent ages taking the photos for this ; v ; 

From a lot of my family I got money and I've spent quite a bit of that, but I'm probably going to show a lot of the things I bought in a Collective Haul later on this year? as I've still got quite a bit to spend! 

Also before I start this haul properly I want to make it clear that I am so grateful for everything I received and am so lucky to have such a generous family!  

So if you follow my twitter, you'll know that before Christmas I ordered a Liz Lisa dress! Well that was actually a present off of my grandparents, I've been wanting this particular style of dress for a while and when I found someone else selling it new with tags for a pretty good price, I couldn't resist! The dress fits so cute, it's quite dressy I feel so I haven't had the chance to wear it properly yet, but I can't wait to!

I also made a coordinate with it! The bag was also a gift but off of my parents! 

✿ How to: Miyuukihime's Guide to Taobao ✿

Hello everybody!

So I thought today I'd do something different! I promised this year that I would get different content & even though it's been slow I'm getting there! 

If you have been in the J-fashion community for a while then you might be quite familiar with an online store called Taobao.







♡ Introduction to Taobao ♡


For those who aren't particularly sure of what it is, Taobao is an Chinese online store. Like eBay & Amazon, Taobao has many different sellers, all selling different products! You can get items such as clothes, accessories, jewellery, wigs, Cosplay, makeup & even electronics! They have so much variety, although I can't say whether the makeup & electronics are good quality, but that's where reviews come in handy! Replica's are also VERY common on taobao, so if you're not a fan of replicas then this sight may not be for you!

It may sound straight forward & you may actually be wondering as to why I'm telling you 'how' to order. Well in actual fact, people who don't live in China can't order as Taobao doesn't ship internationally & doesn't accept particular paying methods in which a lot of us would usually use ( like Paypal for example)!

So now you know a bit more information, I will get onto telling you how to actually order. 

Getting onto Taobao is pretty easy, you can just type in 'taobao' to your search engine & find it! ( or click the links I've provided above)!

♡ Kittywood Designs Review ♡

Hello everyone!

So today I'm going to be reviewing an store named Kittywood Designs.

Now Kittywood Designs is a store ran on Etsy & is owned by the lovely Kattie! Her products are extremely versatile, she makes Hair Accessories, Necklaces, Rings, Broaches & more - aimed at many audiences from Creepy Cute to Fairy Kei. I'd be surprised if you didn't find something you liked.

It was a while back that Kattie was looking for some people to review some of her products & as I have bee a fan for a while I instantly decided to email about it - so you probably can tell that by looking at this, I was chosen! I'm very grateful to work with such a perfect store!

So before I ramble even further I will actually begin the review!

♡ My Photos ♡

♡ So my parcel came like this & can we just talk about how cute the packaging is?! I've never seen someone use pink packaging but I was definitely excited over this! ♡

♡ Christmas 2013 Haul & Resolutions/ Goals for 2014 ( Photo Heavy ) ♡

♡♡ HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! ♡♡

I hope you're all good & well & had a good Christmas ( or just a nice time off if you don't celebrate it )!

Today I'm going to be showing you my Christmas gifts & the New year!

Before I start though, I just want to say that I'm extremely grateful for every gift I received, I didn't demand any of this stuff, my parents & family choose how much they decide to give me & clearly they're very generous people!

♡ From my Auntie ♡

♡ I received a Thorntons Santa Claus & this adorable Gingerbread themed Foot Set ♡

♡ I also got a £20 Gift Voucher ( for a particular Shopping Center/ Mall(?) ) So I decided to spend it in Victoria's Secret as it's recently just opened! ♡

♡ Small Manchester Expo 2013 Haul & Cosplay Plans ♡

Hey everyone, how are you all doing?

So today I thought I would take a break from reviews & do a small haul from when I went to Manchester Expo on the 20th July! I would of loved to do a whole post on the day but in all honesty I don't have many photos. I personally felt that the expo was a little disappointing. First of all I wasn't Cosplaying because it was far too hot, not only that but me & my sister had to line up for about 20 minutes just to get in, despite us having early tickets. Once we got in it was a relief as it was cool, but then as more & more people got in the event became far too crowded. Honestly me & my sister had to push through crowds, my feet also ended up hurting & I felt very ill. There was also a lack of Cosplayers I feel, obviously because of the weather, I also never ended up seeing many people I wanted to meet! I know it sounds like I'm being a kill joy, but compared to Telford it was nothing! Although on the bright side I got some super cute things & got to see the masquerade. This was a big thing for me & my sister as we have never seen due to coming to the stage seating area too late & being very small - haha! Anyway onto what I got! 

♡ So of course I had to get more peach tea! Unfortunately you can't get this near me, I also wanted a bottle of it but they only had cans, either way - still delicious! ♡
