+ the bold & beautiful: Nicki Minaj



+ promised myself that in 2012 i'd be more bold and wear whatever i want, whenever i want. i don't want to define my style. just want to wear cute shit. so this week's inspiration pics come from Nicki Minaj. i don't always agree with her style but i always respect it! i think she's adorable and i love how she pulls from Japanese street style at times.

+ kawaii nail craze + GIVEAWAY

+ so recently while tumbling and googling i came across an awesome site that sells pre-decorated kawaii nails! they may be a bit "extra" for everyday but then again, not really. lol. Yukiumi has an awesome selection of these [as well as other cute stuff]. i like that their products come in sizes, because sometimes the normal press ons seems a tad small! not everybody has the same size fingers! i like them SO MUCH that i want to GIVE a set to a lucky blog reader :)

here are a few of my super cute faves from Yukiumi. 3D Japanese Nails :

+ the cutie charlotte : style inspiration



+ i've only been following her blog [ Charlotte Clothier ] for a few weeks but i totally love it! i like her style in that it's kind of like mine, doesn't fit into a particular category but is inspired by different things on a daily basis! no matter what she's wearing or how she accessorizes or styles her hair it always seems effortlessly amazing!  that's why she's my blog crush this week [which i think i skipped last week but oh well].lol.

+ i've been posting a lot of other stuff and decided to post about me today ^_^

this is what i'm wearing today, simply because I don't have to go to school so I can do what I want.

been kind of putting all of my extra money into starting the kawaii line for bows and arrow [ release 12.21.11, whooo hooo] so i haven't been shopping, but this is a look i've never really done before so it's making old new!

+ kawaii kyutie + inspiration: Pastel Raindrops


+ somewhere in a land of purple unicorns and pretty pink bows, there's Pastel Raindrops. an amazing blog by Mio. from her kitsch room full of rainbow plushies and pretty makeup to her amazingly cute DIY projects, she always manages to keep me captivated. her blog is one of my favorites to go to for inspiration, which I need a lot of right now :)  her look is always changing but still always cute and she stays true to her style which is everything cute x lolita x kitsch x kawaii.  that's why she's this week's inspiration!

+ new direction: kawaii inspiration

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


+ hope you like the inspiration pics.

+ sometimes, there are things you love that inspire you, but you have to find ways to KEEP them inspiring you. i knew i loved crafting bows, but after a while i realized that it wasn't enough. it was hard to come up w/ collection themes for new bows and materials, and afterwards i'd always find things i wanted to make but didn't because they didn't "fit" in. but there is a love i have as much as the love i have for bows. it's the love of all things lolita x kawaii x cute and sweet x kitsch . i have decided to re-vamp the brand to forever represent my love of these things.  there will still be majority bow-based pieces but this will allow me to do even more unique jewelry pieces as well!

+ out on a limb


two little bows, sitting in a tree, B-O-W-S And Arrow please. [was that corny?]
anywho, I love this photo, and this necklace!

+ the nautical girl

showing respect to all things navy-ish and nautical.
they say everything is bigger in texas, like this bow, made from a texas flag.

+ the native american

native american inspired, vintage americana collection piece. 
i'm re-creating a veil like this for my wedding, if I ever find a husband.

+ a new beginning

This season, things have changed, and that's for the better. I've been slaving away, working on the lookbook and new store for the new "Vintage Americana" collection. Finally, the time is almost here, and i'm absolutely pooped! 


Throughout the sewing needle and hot glue wounds, an amazing collection was created and I hope that it is enjoyed by ALL.


I'll be posting a few pictures from the lookbook, because, hey, the new blog needs some posts, and I know you want to see larger versions of the pictures!
