Hello all~

So on Friday I went along to the Kanon x Kanon concert in London, and it was one of the best nights I've ever had. If you know me, you'll know I am a huge fan of Wakeshima, she is an inspiration to me / my idol / etc, I could go on. I just think she's flawless. :)
So, I was right at the front and I have to tell you this was a tiny box venue we were at. I was so close to her it was almost surreal! I could see her in every perfect detail and we made eye contact a few times. Haha, I'm gushing as I write this. She played a solo set first. Her English was so cute, too. She played my favourites, Celmisia, Kajitsu no Keikoku and Princess Charleston so I couldn't be happier. Really, Celmisia is such a beautiful song and as far as I'm aware she composed that one herself rather than Mana. I managed to shake her hand at the end and I actually got a little emotional... haha. I really must stop crying when I meet people I love. (Wow, I sound sad right now).

Then Kanon♂ came on and did some DJing, played us his favourite anime songs. I guess it was just because Wakeshima was getting changed into her Calendula Requiem outfit. Anyway, it was good fun! He has good taste in music. 

Then they both played as Kanon x Kanon, they played all of their own songs (which we did wotagei to, very fun!) and they did covers of Moonlight Densetsu and Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru (surprising!). During Moonlight Densetsu Kanon♂ was wearing a Tuxedo Mask costume and swirling around in his cape and he actually nearly fell of the stage right onto my friend, haha! No such luck. ;) I did get to high five a few times though.

All in all it was a beautiful and perfect night, I just didn't want it to end and I was euphoric at the end because it was so wonderful and I touched/shook Wakeshima's hand multiple times. I am definitely going to try and learn the cello now!

Here was my outfit for the evening!



I bought myself the tote bag from the merchandise stand afterwards. I wanted a t-shirt, but they were £20 and I only had £10 cash on me. Kicking myself! If I had bought my train ticket with my debit card and not cash I would have been able to get one, but I hadn't considered there being merchandise for some reason. Yes, I was really worked up about that in my head. But at least I managed to get something to remember it by. :)

I can't wait for another chance to see her. I believe there will be one. ^__^

Hello!

SO today I bit the bullet and gave in to the Bodyline $1 airmail shipping campaign, haha. I now have literally no money but I'm sure it's fine. ;;

I only bought 3 things, anyway! I'm so poor. x_X



Yes the dreaded music notes JSK haha. I'm such a sucker for any musical-themed prints though, being a music nerd myself, so I just couldn't resist this bargain JSK. *_*



 This cardigan. Is love. I really like crown motifs and it's super elegant! I got it in black. It's just simple enough I can wear it casually, too. <3



And the Antique Clock skirt in grey. I really wanted the dress but it's always sold out in grey xD And so I settled with the skirt. At first I wasn't sure about it because I don't wear high-waisted things purely because they make your chest look huge, but I'm sure it will look lovely. :3


SO here's looking forward to my first Bodyline clothing purchases. x'D I've only bought some shoes from them before.

Hello everyone! Today I'll show you some recent purchases. I've had a REALLY bad week, so what do? Retail therapy, of course.

Firstly, my order from Bodyline.

So cute~ I bought them in 22.5, and actually, they're a little small. I can fit into them and walk around comfortably but after a while they rub my feet, so I think I'll try and stretch them with ice. Next time I'll definately order a 3.0 though! (I'm a UK size 4 btw.)
Also eyelashes. I wanted some in "gyaru style" and these sort of resemble the Eyemazing ones, so I thought I'd give them a go. I haven't actually worn them yet, though. Haha. 

I wore these shoes in today's outfit. owo

Here's the fox print dress I bought today! Isn't it so precious? I'm a sucker for peter pan collars too, so basically I had to have it. It's a little on the short side, so I intend to wear shorts underneath it or leggings or something. It looks nice with boots for an autumn look. <3

See what I mean about the length?

I also bought this black dress. It's so lovely, the fabric is very thick and it hangs beautifully. It's fantastic for wearing to school, especially since I have to attend a lot of evening events, and the weather will be getting colder soon. The pictures do it no justice, it's really so lovely.

That's about all from me today. I'm going to a fancy dress party tonight as Peter Pan! I'll post pictures. <3

This is a long post involving my dream clothing items. *__*





Immsenly huge image is immense and huge. Anyway, I think what you can tell from this is that I love black, navy blue, brown, and blackxpink, music prints, BtSSB, and toned down, mature or ornate prints. :'D

One day I shall own at least 5 of the dresses on this wishlist. xD
Especially the Chess Chocolate jsk in brown, Unicorn in Bloomland in black, and Melody Doll in Pink. ;_;

For some reason, LJ won't let me comment on things? It keeps coming up with " Comment not posted: You did not enter your LiveJournal username." And... I'm rather perplexed. I'm logged in whilst trying to comment, and entering my login next to where you choose what to comment in (twitter, LJ etc.) and there seems to be no fixing it. LiveJournal, I am unamused. How can I be an active member of a community I cannot contribute to?

Besides all of that, I start school tomorrow which is equally vexing. I still have work to do, so I shall get cracking on that tomorrow, although of course I had all summer to do it and put it off but you know how it is. (Do you?) In an attempt to get my mother used to lolita fashion I've decided to wear my lolita and lolita-styled blouses to school (we have a smart, blouse+skirt/suit dress code here anyway, so it's normal). Of course some people might make comments about my pretty lacy blouses, but I'm sure I can brush it off with the elegance the clothes project. (Haha). I am to be a School Officer (or Prefect if you will) this year, so I'm expected to dress to a high standard anyway.

I shall have to start choosing which DS games to play in my spare time! (Of course, I'm joking. Free periods are for study, aren't they?)

Helllo~~

I'm Cherry. |3 I liek me some Japanese fashion and pop culture. (That's my intro.)

I shall skip boring things and write about my trip to Camden town today~

I went in search of a backpack for school because only the cutest of backpacks will suffice for me (comfort counts too, haha). I found one, the cutest black backpack with kittens on it!  I'm afraid I forgot to take a photo, I'll update with one later.

Now while I was there I stopped off in the Lolita shop. :3 Now I'm not in any position to call myself a Lolita, but I do really admire the fashion and I own a couple of offbrand pieces, but not a dress. (Well, an ita-tastic lace monster I bought when I was 14, but we won't go there). Now while I was moaning about the icky quality of the nylon lace and the shiny fabrics of the JSKs, I happened upon this OP which I fell in love with and consequently bought (although I hadn't intended to spend any money a dress, this means I shan't have to order the one I wanted from Bodyline and pay shipping). However, little did I know it's actually a replica of Angelic Pretty's Milky-chan. Now I didn't know this because I'm not a huge fan of AP and to be honest, I wouldn't have known the Milky-chan print if it jumped up and bit me. Now I do. Nevertheless, I still love the OP and I intend to wear it to MCM and make some nice Loli friends, but hopefully none of the local Lolitas will shun me for wearing a replica. ;; I know people have mixed opinions about replicas, so. D: I'm not up to spending £200 on a brand dress yet, I'm still working on my mother for that one. Haha.


It's so adorbs asdfghj;'    One day I will replace it with the real brand piece. :)

Besides that, I ate some yummy chinese food. :3

And that was my day.
