EVENT: French Café's Garden Party ♥

Hi sweeties ♥ 

It's been almost a month since French Café's Garden Party so I guess it's time for me to do a blog post about it! 

So on Monday, July 7 the group French Café hosted their very first event,  French Café Garden Party !

This event was set in a gorgeous mansion near Paris, le Manoir de l'Île aux loups. As its name says, the mansion is on an island in the middle of a big river called Marne.

The location was pretty amazing, and kind of exotic cause way different from what I'm now used to: Paris and big city noises. 


The event started at 1pm but I arrived around 11am to help the French Café team cause they had a lot of work to do and not so much time! Mathilde, Zoé, Rosalynn and Libellule were already here to help, it was a bit stressful but yes, I must admit I had a lot of fun installing Lorina Liddell's both ,with Yumi and Motohiro, and running around the mansion searching for the staff ^ ^ 

Lorina Liddell and Neb aaran do and the raffle's booths 





I really enjoyed the bingo(dzilla)!! Not joking, it was really written on the sheets! To play bingodzilla, we had to write down on the blank grid the number and the name of other participants, and this this required us to socialize.

This is a super idea cause I'm kind of really shy with people I don't know, even more if their outfit is pure awesomeness (so pretty much everybody here).

I almost won something but I wasn't fast enough screaming "BINGO", too bad! Here in France we say "c'est le jeu ma pauvre Lucette!"

So yes LONG LIFE BINGODZILLA !!


Precious place, wonderful people, and delicious food !! Both buffets salty and sweet were tasteful but since I have a sweet tooth I enjoyed the sweet one more ^^" Oh and the drinks! Let's talk about the drinks! French Café offered us cotton candy, candy apple and violet syrup/diabolo, iced tea and orange juice. Guess, what my favorite one was cotton candy ♥

The sweet/dessert buffet is serious business!  
Matching drink and dress LIVIN THE KAWAII LIFE

And here comes the outfit picture, stolen (with permission) from Hilde Heyvaert (go and click on the link, all the pictures from the galleries are precious ♥ ), so thank you for the pic~
Oh, yeah... Weird pose cause I was holding the salopette I won ... YES! For the first time of my life I won something during the raffle !! It's a cute salopette set from Spaceship lolita, not pink but it has fruit print! 
The prices form the raffle were A-MA-ZING ! So many prices, so many brands and indie brands ♥ 
Ok, I was only supposed to introduce you my outfit rundown, so here it comes. 



Angelic Pretty: JSK
Blouse: Zara
Accesoiries: Angelic Pretty, Chocomint, Mello and offbrand
Socks: Angelic Pretty
Shoes: Bodyline

Oh and the valentines♥ There were a lot of colorful little bags, one for every participant and everyone was free to add kind words inside during the event, thanks to everyone who let me a little word! It really means a lot to me ♥ 

I wish I had more time to write kind things to everyone, cause everyone deserved it ! 




I stayed like one or two hours after the event to help the staff once again and went back home happy and tired but sad it was already over ! 
I wish I talked to more people and more to the ones I already talked with !


A huge thank you to all the French Café staff, you guys are really wonderful ♥ 
What you've done with the Garden Party was really awesome and thank you for working so hard!
I can't wait for next event !! Love love love !! ♥

Hi lovelies ~ ♥ 


This post is a picture post, and it's Angelic Pretty's pop-up store (again!) 
This time, the pictures are from the inside of the store, and as I write this post I can say I miss this store so much ♥ Plus, I'm in the south of France visiting my family now so I don't have much time to write about the Garden Party and AP's tea party, but I'll do it soon I promise (I'm such a bad baad blogger u____u") 
Ready for the pics ? 






Those cosmic OTKs **
NEW PRINT! ~



I love this one so much ~ Remember? I told you I gave Maki and Asuka drawings I made of them ? 
Here is the pic ♥ 

See you~ ♥

REPORT & HAUL: Angelic Pretty in Paris ♥



Hi everyone~

So today, was the last day of Angelic Pretty and Putumayo pop-up stores in Paris.
And as you may guess, I want them to come back next year (oh please!)
cause one week wasn't enough...




Pictures from their official websites
Inside the store, you could find AP's current prints such as Crystal Dream Carnival, Berry Garden, Wonder Queen, Dreamy Girl, Toy Drops, Wrapping Ribbon, Fantasy Theater, Magical Etoile and Cosmic. But not a single print-less dress like the beautiful Sugary Gingham or Aurora. 

I didn't bought anything from Putumayo, and I kind of regret this. A lot of items caught my eyes but I'm more into AP's style, anyway I really love their new tights and the full outfit Misako was wearing the first day! 

YES! Cause Misako worked as a shopgirl for Putumayo on the first day, I was so surprised to see her there! I knew she was coming to the tea party but I wasn't expecting to see her there ^^ 
Maki and Asuka were there too, it was a thrill too see the three of them during this week ♥


CDC in display

Close-up cause I love AP's typography, yup.

Maki and Asuka talking to the customers

And now, let's see what I bought this week...
Too many things, I tried to be reasonable but I failed...
On the opening day I only bought AP mook, cause they had some trouble with the card bank reader.
The day after, I went to the shop a few hours before the TP and I went mad, cause the last one Cosmic in pink was waiting for me ♥  
On Thursday, I bought a cute hair clip/brooch cause I was in the mood to buy more AP stuff.
And today was the last day so I had to buy something as I went to say goodbye, so cute socks!

AP SS 2014 Mook with Day Dream Carnival bag 


Cosmic Sailor JSK in pink


Twinkle Star Emblem Clip (Kirameki Star Emblem Clip)

Dot Marine Crew Socks in pink


I really hope that AP will comeback soon to Paris and maybe open a new store which will stay here like forever !!(*v*) Before leaving, one last pic with those amazing girls ♥ 
They're coming back to Japan tomorrow and I miss them already cause they're amazing!! 


Asuka, me, Ms Honda & Maki ♥

Right now, I'm kind of sad but also super super happy because of all this,
and because French Café's Garden Party is tomorrow~ 

See you ~ ♥

News & OOTD~♥




Hi guys~ ♥
If you follow me on instagram (link on the side bar), you may know that since last time I posted here I received two more AP dresses (Little Bear's Café & Sugary Carnival ♥)
And last Wednesday, just before going AP's tea party I bought another one, Cosmic ! This was totally unexpected ( I mean... I never thought I'll find a Cosmic here, and certainly not buying it!) but I went crazy, and it was the last one, and I fell in love and ... COMSIC !!
You'll see it soon cause I plan to wear it next monday, for French Café's Garden Party~ ♫


Harajuku Mode (AP and Putumayo stores) is closing tomorrow...
AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO LEAVE PARIS (TToTT) 
I feel so happy they came to my town yet so sad cause the week has passed so quickly !! 
I mean, I hardly realize how AMAZING this week have been! 
Getting to know Maki and Asuka, talk with them almost every day,
and meet Misako several times; all this seems unreal ♥
I'll make a post about the store and the Tea Party/Fashion Walk soon!
(I need to edit and steal some pictures)


So today I went (once again) to AP/Putumayo to give Maki, Asuka and Misako drawings I made of them!
Sadly, Misako wasn't here, but the shop staff kindly took my drawing to give it to her after. 
Maki and Asuka seemed so happy, and I'm sure at this moment I was blushing so so much
and I was even more happy ♥ 
This was my outfit for today~
(Oh and YES, pink hair is back!)

Hat: H&M
Blouse: Zara
Salopette: Angelic Pretty
Brooch: Angelic Pretty
Socks: H&M kids
Shoes: Bodyline
Accessorizes: Barbie, offbrand 

See you ♥
