Made My Day

Last Friday my Package from Tokyomade arrived by courier.

There was loads of seafoam-green tissue paper,a handful of cool postcards (one of which had a 'thank-you' note written on the back) a cute eraser and stickers!

The Stuff I actually ordered was cool too:

'Jello' resin ring. Bigger than I was expecting (My Boyfriend reckons I'll sprain my wrist wearing it!). By: Honey Bunny

Resin necklace with tiny, plastic, glow-in-the-dark jellyfish.

By: Lissita

Jelly Shoes (you know you secretly love them)

Do they make your feel like they've been shoved into plastic sandwich bags?

Do they give you blisters?

Do you care?


I know Jelly's are supposed to be some sort of Fashion no-no (well I've seen a lot of hate spouted about them on various fashion blogs lately) but they look like candy and they're cheap (all designer incarnations excluded!).


Things that are cheap and look like candy generally tend to make people happy and is that so wrong I ask?


Seduced by their bright colours and memories of childhood summers I recently went on a binge:

All Jellies pictured are by JUJU and were purchased from the following lovely ebay sellers:

• 404huges


• hollyxwx


• honey_bee08
  

I am currently coveting the many wondrorius jelly shoes produced by Melissa. In particualr the Vivienne Westwood and Alexandre Herchovitch collaborations:

Surely these are beautious enough to make you renounce your jelly-hating ways?

Diana F+ 'Dreamer'

I would just like to start by saying that the Uraban Outfitters chain in North America is a million times better stocked than it's UK counterparts.

I've become a bit obsessesed with lomos lately, specifically the Diana F+ model. They are all plastic and like their cousins the 'Holga' come in candy colours.

If you go to the offiicial lomography website you will find the special addition white Stripes Diana F+ (meg) and Holga (Jack) in bright red plastic complete with peppermint swirl dials and filters.

But the best discovery I made the other day was the Diana F+ made exclusively for Urban Outfitters in America. The pistachio ice-cream coloured Diana F+ 'Dreamer':

Charming Bracelets

Last Christmas whilst standing by the till of a comic book shop in Toronto (Silver Snail on Queen st.) I noticed some strange little boxed sets by a company called Rement.

Rement are a Japanese company that make highly collectable minatures of nearly everything you can think of. I instinctively want to buy every single set I come across but then reality kicks in and I have to ask myself what exactly I am going to do with so many 12th scale miniatures. Seriously these things are so small you could end up inhaling them by accident.

To make a long story some what shorter my beloved cat died a few weeks ago so I was doing some window shopping on Etsy to make my day a little less miserable and I came across these from Mels' Boutique :

Yes those are tiny packets of sugar and artificial sweetner (Only the Japanese)

I bought them of course.

Visit Mel's Boutique for more (check out the plush telephone!)

Japanese Cosmetics that Gladden the Heart

Japanese cosmetics and their adverts have brought me joy:


(that's a little blackhead waving goodbye in case you didn't know)

B&C Laboratories peach lip cream and Peach hand cream. I own the lip cream and it is the epitomy of 'glutonous cute' (I just invented that this second)

The same company also do both the lip cream and hand cream in an orange:

...and an apple version

I am currently trying to get my hands on the Polynia choclate face mask:

The entire advert for this is hilarious. But the best bit is this gingerbread man warning you not to eat the deliciously chocolate scented face mask.

For the lushes among us there is the Red Wine Jelly hydrating face mask


Why can't Western cosmetics be more fun?
