    Spreepicky Review: Seifuku
    Spreepicky is a store on Storenvy that focuses on selling clothes and accessories from Taobao. The clothes are either cosplay related with occasional anime merchandise or Japanese street fashion. They also offer artist applications so fans can be payed to design adorable prints for tee's, phone cases or more. They offer world wide free shipping as well as sizes for a range of sizes.Spreepicky was founded in August 2013 "with the idea of picking customers the best cute fashion with lower cost and best shopping experience"
    Facebook // Storenvy


    The first item I ordered from Spreepicky, was this printed seifuku.
    Sakura (Cherry Blossom) prints are really cute so when I found this I decided to buy it quickly.
    There is a variety of sizes so make sure you double check your size before you buy. This seifuku so far is only available in pink.

    The second item I got was this plain seifuku in pink. 
    Although I got it in Pink (Pink is taking over my life ^^) you can also get it in a variety of colours such as purple, green, red, black, blue, green and pink. The price is $19.99 (About £12.50) along with free shipping which is a good price.

    Here are both of the Seifuku's I brought. The labels are cutely shapped like a wing, Reminds me of the CardCaptor Sakura wing >.< There's really cute messages on the packaging such as: 
    In general the packaging gives of the idea of magical girls (A weakness of mine)

    The first seifuku I will be reviewing is the Sakura Print one
    The colour turned out really pretty. The bow is also detachable which means you can change bows if you would like. I found the Seifuku a little thin so be-careful when you wear it. The Sakura Print is really pretty and clear.



    The next seifuku is this plain pink one. The colour is a cute tone of pink that's slightly brighter then pastel pink.



    The bow is also a good size, its not too big and not too small. 


    Included in the parcel was also a free golden necklace which was too small to picture but it was really pretty. I gave it to a good friend of mine! Also included was a postcard from the old but well-known Mahou shoujo series, Sailor Moon.


    The message from the seller was really sweet!

    Plus the business card! It's really cute! 



    Personally I found the seifuku's a little too thin, however for the price they are not bad quality at all. The customer service was sweet and friendly. 

    In conclusion, Spreepicky has a wide variety of products as well as being friendly, and as long as you are looking for special occasion wear and high quality, long wear garments - I recommend!

    Surviving Fairy Kei In Summer

    Surviving Fairy Kei In Summer





    Surving Fairy Kei in the Summer heat


    It's that time of the year again where layers on layers and thick wigs are getting harder to wear. Fairy Kei is all about the layers which makes it seem impossible to wear during the summer however there are a few simple tips to surviving summer while wearing Fairy Kei. 

    Don't layer up too much, Your health is more important then getting a certain amount of layers!







    Hair 

    It's best to keep the wigs to the side however if you do decide you still want to wear them, take a hair brush and a wig storage bag just in case it gets too hot and you decide you want to take it off. When its hot its best to stick to showing off your own hair whatever colour it is. You can easily make your real hair cute through srunchies, hair clips and more. Tying your hair up into bunches, odango, ponytails or even plaits help keep your hair of the back of your neck. 




    Shorts 

    For a cheap price, you can get mint coloured shorts in Primark which are perfect for the hot days. There are also a variety of stores online where you can get pastel shorts perfect for Fairy Kei. Click here to see the shorts in the picture on the right. The ones on the left are from bodyline.


    Fans

    Hand fans can help you cool down when in the heat. If you don't want an ordianary hand fan, you can get a variety of styles such as ones with anime characters printed on. For example, the fans in the picture on the right can be purchased here.


    Short socks/Laced tights 

    If you want to, you can still wear OTK/Thigh high socks as you usually would but summer is the perfect chance to wear short socks (You can even buy cute frilly socks from brands such as Angelic Pretty) if you are confortable showing of your legs. If your not comfortable, wear a pair of laced tights under your socks. 



    Sleeves and dresses

    Keep to short sleeves/ vest tops. Dresses are also another good option as they limit the amount of layers worn. Taobao is a good place to look for tops and dresses. 



    Wear suncream and keep hydrated! 

    Unless you want to get burned, remember to wear sun cream with whatever you are wearing! Also remember to keep hydrated, especially if your going to be inside a stuffy building or doing lots of walking. There is also wide variety of Kawaii water bottles such as the ones in the picture above which you can find here. For more Kawaii water bottles, you can find more here. 

    Some cool outfit ideas:



    That's it for todays short guide on surving the summer heat while wearing Fairy Kei. Any comments or questions? Post below

    Ita Bags - The Next Big Otaku Trend?

    Nisan 22, 2015 0
    Ita Bags - The Next Big Otaku Trend?





    Online, more and more pictures of bags heavily decorated in anime badges have recently increased. 

    The nickname for this new trend is "Ita bag" or "Painful bag" (Since the bags get heavier decorated in badges)

    The bags themselves are usually tote or school bags.Each bag tends to focus on one anime character that the owner loves however more then one character can also be seen. The bags are used to express their love for an anime character or series. Since the idea is to cover the bag, it can be an expensive hobby.



    While in Japan you could easily get one badge for 200 yen (About £1.20) however online or at conventions the price of one bage can be higher. Also the plushies or keyrings used don't always come cheap. 

    Helpful links: 

    If you want to join in on this new trend here are some helpful links to places selling badges that are not too pricey to make your own bag!
    • Aliexpress has a wide range of badges ranging from Attack on Titan, Naruto  to Black Butler and more. 
    • eBay also has a wide collection of badges however they might not  be as cheap as ones on Aliexpress however there is a lot of options to choose from. 
    • Etsy and Storenvy both features a lot of different designs


    So what do you think? Do you think this might be the next big trend. Have you decorated your bag like this?

    Nisan 18, 2015 0
    The Hikaru Skirt - Brighten Up Your Outfit



    The Hikaru skirt (Light skirt) is a unique, new design where LED lights are embedded in skirts. Offical tumblr. The skirts are currently not available to buy yet however click here to check out more of the Hikaru skirts. With a touch of a button, its also possible to change the colour of the lights. 



    Since the LED lights can be turned on or off, you can turn the outfit more casual however if you turn it on at a concert, party or club, the outfit will come alive. 


    The main reason is to make the “absolute territory” (zettai ryouiki) the area of skin inbetween the top of socks and the bottom of skirts, shorts, stand out. These skirts are sure to light up any outfit for any style. 


    Moso Calibration‘s 7th single Mahou no Juice,  released on April 7th, shows the members wearing Hikaru skirts. The skirts bring a colourful, fun and unique feel to the outfits. 


    Here is the video :

    So what do you think of the new light up skirts? Comment below!
