Better late then never! So this past weekend was IDL as most of you ladies know. This year I returned to NYC for another panel discussion at Kinokuniya Bookstore. I'll be honest I didn't have as much fun as the year before but I think part of that was because my friend Amy wasn't able to join me.
Tara and Megan were the first ladies to go up and chat. They are the shop girls from
Tokyo Rebel. You get to see them a lot in videos they do on the site's blog. We got an exciting announcement that Tokyo Rebel is going to be have a
tea party to celabrate them carrying Baby the Stars Shine Bright. It was nice being able to ask them some questions about the store and themselves.
Next was Aly from Miss Lumpys blog. Number one I love her blog, her post are always to sweet and she really has an elegant way of writing. So defiantly check her
blog out! She came to speak to us about her recent trip to Japan and her experience being a Western Lolita there. What I though was interesting was how the "rules" don't seem to be as important there, and they seem to explore with different styles instead of identifying with just one style. Also I found it neat that she wasn't really viewed as a tourist when she was dressed in Lolita over more common clothes.
I was also excited to get the chance to chat with her after her panel. She is very sweet and I hope that we get to meet again at another meet up along with
Puchi Puchi . She is another CT blogger I got to meet .
After that we went to the Sanrio store to pick up some cute Hello Kittyness and then to a noodle shop for lunch. All and all it was a good Loliday. I think that I need to have some big plans for the next one in December! Now with my outfit pics!
