Did I say something about posting 3 days ago? I was kidding! orz Why am I so lame?? I can never keep my promises!

But anyways, here's the winner of the giveaway, together with a coordinate inspiration to go with the second prize of the giveaway! (and you must be thinking, why didn't she do this before? Does she have the least knowledge of marketing??)

A mori-like vest from H&M!

Kidcaella!

Congratulations! I already sent you an email! (Be quick to answer! D: If you don't before 3 days, the prize will go to someone else!)

I didn't want to go back, but I was getting short on money

First of all, hello, I'm back! I had an amazing time in London, and took so many pictures... I got lots (well, maybe not that much) of post-worthy material that will last for a few entries! haha

Second, I'm amazed at home much the blog has grown even when I was away! Amazing!
So welcome all new (and old, too) readers, and thanks for being here.

Third, I want to say thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway, promoted it or just had some nice words towards this blog. This just makes me want to keep on!

Anyways, random.org said that the winner of the giveaway is... *drum roll*

Congratulations Yi-Lin!

And that's all for today, I'm still tired even sleeping for the whole afternoon, so see you tomorrow with cute puris!

5am je t'aime and My Tokyo guide

5am Je t'aime is an asian oriented fashion and culture and inspiration blog not much older than 2 months and some days.
And they're generous enought to host a giveaway every month!
This second time, they were giving away an amazing art and fashion guide of Tokyo compiled, "compiled and designed by the Sydney & tokyo-based graphic & textile designer Eloise Rapp" is something that really caught my eye.
I love Tokyo, I love fashion and all this seen from a designer's perspective, is something that can't be missed.

It's too late to enter this giveaway, since I was the lucky one to win it! (I can't believe it yet), but you can always wait for next month's giveaway, that I'm sure will be as amazing as this month's!

I'm going to do a review of the guide as soon as I get it in my mail, se expect it. But I can already tell you how yummy it looks!

Thank you so much to the people at 5am je t'aime and to Eloise Rapp for the guide.

And now, go take a look at these people's blog, since I'm sure it's something you'll enjoy!

What to talk about today...

I've been wanting to do this for a long time now, but was always too lazy to do it... haha
This is some simple recipe I discovered while Mayuko was here.
She loves sea weeds, and so her mum made her take this wakame soup thing with her, and we ended up cooking it at my house (and she left the rest to me *w* I still have to packs) with rice! (instead of making soup out of it). I really prefer rice. I love rice! haha

Hope you can understand my incomprehensible handwritting :D

Oh, and yesterday I forgot to remind you all to participate in my giveaway! You still have time until September 1st, but I wouldn't risk the opportunity if it was me!

Brand introduction. Delilah, or how to dress for a party

Barror is going to Japan in a month (I'm so jealous! haha) and since she said she found new brands from Japan that she likes now (and I'm sure will be visiting) throught my blog, I thought I could keep introducing other japanese stuff I like and things I want to do and places I want to visit once I can go back.

This is Aya chan, shop staff and model for the brand.

I'm going to introduce another brand I like lots. It's a dress and jewlery brand called Delilah, and their slogan is "Let's change before the party!". With that few, you can just imagine a bit how their clothing will be.

Cute

Funky

Pretty

Many of you, mostly gal-oriented readers, will probably know a bit about this brand already, or at least, recognize the style of clothing, since it's one brand that appears frequently on gal magazines, mainly Ageha. Other magazines they got features in are Seventeen, Vivi and Popteen to name a few.

But! The brand appeared recently in Kera (not their first time there, tho), what demonstrates something I strongly believe in, it's not the brand who makes the style, is how people use the clothes that creates it. So, it doesn't matter if you're a gal, a fairy girl, or whatever, enjoy Delilah with your own style!

They mainly offer onepieces, but they also produce cute camisoles.

And jewlery, cute, sparkly and girlish jewlery.

Even swimsuits!

These two may be my most favorite in the whole shop. And I don't even like bunnies that much!

Delilah is situated near shibuya station, just a few streets away. Here you can see the location in google maps.
And they even have a webshop, in case you can't go in perston to the store (like me) and prefer to order online (I'd really rather go in person to the store though...).
Prices are surely a bit on the high side, but it's worth waiting for the sales, where they reduce the price quite a lot.

What do you think about this brand? Is this something you'd buy/wear? Everyday wear or just for parties?

Changing the topic, I participated in The cookie button blog swap, and my partner is Meggs, so I'll be talking about crafts tomorrow. Expect a diy tut tomorrow (I meant to post this Delilah entry yesterday night, so blog swap post will be ready this afternoon c:)!

Btw, don't forget to enter my new giveaway here! It includes moko-moko scrunchies and other drawn-by-me stuff!

New giveaway and new surprises!

It's been three months since this blog's first giveaway, I thought it was time to make another one, since, in that short time, this blog went from barely 20 readers and 1,000 visits to 67 readers (plus the people that reads it annonymously, thanks!) and more than 7,000 visits.
I also have been talking, mostly in the first giveaway, that I was planning something bigger for my first giveaway, but that couldn't be eventually.

Now the time has come and I'm ready to let you all now, I'm so excited about this! I hope you are as much as me!

This giveaway's to celebrate the opening of my own Etsy store! As some of you may have noticed if you read the blog directly from the page and not on a reader, it's been open only since a couple of days ago, and you can find the banner to go to the shop in the sidebar.

Yes! the shop's named after the blog.

Just a few things listed for now, but I'll be selling prints and original drawings soon too! As soon as I scan and photograph everything c:
I'll also be doing custom orders of anything that's available in the shop (painted sneakers, drawings, accessories...). So if you're interested, don't hesitate to contact me.

Now, onto the giveaway!
It's pretty similar to my last one, but I hope you still like it!
All items, except the kawaii sheets, are hand-made by me, original goods you won't be able to find in the shop!

You can find the bases in my blog-folio and all the chances to win. You're not obliged to follow it in order to participate in the giveaway, so don't worry.

Changing the topic, I already have planned three outfits for London, once I've figured the rest out, I'll draw them and present them to you c:
I'm aware it's rainy and not so summerish right now over there, but still, I don't have any plans on bringin long pants or thick jackets. Wish me luck!

Important, seems like people been having trouble with disqus commenting form lately, so if you can't comment on the entries, please email me to yumepony [at] gmail [dot] com so I can report what kind of trouble you're having commenting so they can try fix it, thanks!

Great surprises got home today!

There are several news concerning this blog and its periphery I thought were worth mentioning arround here.

First of all is that I created a new tumblr account. You may ask, why? because you don't have anything else important to do?
And I may answer, not really, but since I post a lot of snapshots and coordinates, and I enjoy seeing new ones too, that's what I'm going to post in that tumblr.
You can find it here: Snapshots for your consideration.

Other great news is that I made a new blog on blogsport as a lame substitute of the portfolio I don't have. Yet.

Blog's header. No name, no nothing... Keeping things simple haha

I won't be updating this one any less-at least that's my intention, so you don't have to worry.
You also have a banner to the blog-folio on the sidebar, so you can go there anytime you want c:
The blog's opening means (probably) that you'll see less of my work here (and a few reposts there). At least full art posts like the deer or the zoo ones. That doesn't mean I'll stop posting drawings here c:

Remember I said I did win Lacosta's giveaway at Laurita? Stuff in the mail! Beware of the cuteness!
And thanks a lot to Lacosta. She's such a nice girl, and has a super cute blog, so go read it! tehee

That's what was waiting for me in the post office today! (since the postman came yesterday, but I wasn't at home...)

Metamorphose mini towel, Baby TSSB calendar and catalogue (♥) and panda coin purse!
Now I feel cheap when I remember my own giveaway XD Sorry Miruku♥

Super sweet message from Lacosta♥♥ I always get super excited when someone says kind things about my drawings out of nowhere ;A;

I think this ilustration for June is the one I like the most♥

This month's page!

I don't know if everyone has seen it already, or if someone wants to take a full look at it? If anyone's interested, I can scan it and share, just leave a comment! c:

This is the cutest out of all! (and basically the main reason for my joining! haha)

Full of pennies for my London trip!

And, is this a mini towel? I'm not sure, but anyways, cute! ;A; yay for baking bear!

And last but not least, I decided to skip tomorrow's coordinate catch up post to make a big anouncement, so remember to check back!
(I haven't drawn/worn any interesting coordinates this week anyways so this comes right in time! haha)

I know I'm forgetting something, but I can't remember what it is, so this posts ends here today c:

What I need and what I don't.

I tend to forget all the important (and not that important) things.
That's why some weeks ago I taped a piece of paper to my desktop. This way, everytime I see or think about clothes I'd like to buy (coordinate-wise) I can draw it down and not forget about it when I'm shopping.This way I'll have something to rely on and avoid buying the first pretty thing I see and unstabilize my wardrobe. Ha.

In order to also focus on the important things, I made two lists. One with the clothes/shoes/accessories I kinda really need (kinda since I don't go naked outside, so speaking frankly, I don't need any clothes) and the other has a long list of whims. I already got some (as you can see on my sale shopping day.)

Also, I've been trying to stay away from black. At one point I had too many black clothes... I like white and colors! Mori girls don't dress in black! haha

So sorry about the really crappy pictures. Since the paper is attached to my desktop, I can't really scan it (I'd had to rip it, and I want it here a couple of weeks more at least).

Clothes I kinda really need.
1-A white cardigan. Check!
2-Sandals. Everyday wear.
3-More sandals. I like these ones from TopShop. In black, thanks.
4-Flats. Check!

Clothes my soul needs.

1-Nautical bag. Not a bag with nautical motifs.
2-Miu miu clogs. Cat print please. Hahah... someday.
3-Lace headband. I saw some cheap ones at Primark but... argh not pretty enought.
4-Round sunglasses (in black) for customization purposes.
5-Knitted cardi, or something like that. Check. (same as point 1 from previous list. I can't spend as much money as I'd like, so I'll have to do with merging those two.)
6-Lace camisole. To wear as a dress with something underneath. Saw some at H&M. I'll have to go back again.
7-More flowers for my head. Always more!
8-Nail polish in red and yellow. Also want a white one.
9-Chanel's Nouvelle Vague.
10-Flower skirt with pockets and buttons in the front. The truth is I want to make this one myself.
11-Geometric shoes. I think Irregular choice has some nice ones.
12-Can-can hat.
13-Denim vest. May get customized once I get it.

And that's it! Phew.

Also, been painting a bit more.
These are for my mum, and I plan on painting some white flowers on the pink/red background once it's done.

On upcoming posts, expect another coordinate catch up.
I don't know why I don't do this more often, it would mean less work...

And to finish today's post, just tell you all about another great giveaway! This time from Lacosta at Laurita!
What's this, everyday a new giveaway arises! Giveaway a go-go! (but I don't really mind, all the prizes are so cool! haha)

Isn't the panda-purse adorable?? ;A; *grabby hands*

Montjuïc de nit.

I'm super tired today since I spent more than 6 hours in the beach today! But I wanted to have this post up today, so I'm bringing lots of pictures!

Two days ago, in Barcelona you could attend to more than 30 concerts for free. And go into 8 museums for free too.
It was called Montjuïc de nit (Montjuïc at night). And everything revolved arround that area that night.
So, knowing how much I love free stuff and activities, I went to Montjuïc with a friend and spent my time having fun, from 8pm until 2am.

Since all the bands I liked played at the same place (so lucky!) we just spent the afternoon at Sot del Migdia. First to watch Mendetz, then Delafé y las Flores azules and last (but not least) The Pepper pots.

Since the event started at 8pm, and despite it being called Montjuïc at night, it was still daylight! Summer is SO great *tear*

Not much people yet, too early, but the band is really something. So I highly recommend you listen to Mendetz! I'm pretty much in love with this band. Nothing else to say.
More info here if you need it. But really, just listen to them, you'll fall in love inmediately.

And of course they were amazing live. Their songs are great, but live they're just much better.

They even played some remixed 80s songs.

This is from Delafé y las Flores concert. We were pretty tired, so we went to the back to sit. And halfway it I thought the front was so crowded I didn't want to go there again. So no pics from this live.
Meeek bad choice, the front was crowded but it was spacious. I really should have gone nearer! They also made me move a lot. Even though they're quite a calm band (at least compared to the other two bands).
So since I don't have many pics from them, here I'm leaving a video.

The Pepper pots are a Motown-inspired band from Girona.
They're formed by about 11 members: 3 lead-singers, drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, trumpet, tenor sax, baritone sax, trumpet and trombone. (I know, I said 11 and you can count 12 members 8D)

They're another band worth listening to if you like 60s poppy songs. They'll sure make you dance. Even more if you go see them live!

Their concert was really great. I enjoyed it so much! I couldn't stop dancing even if I wanted! I had to try so hard not to move while I was taking pics... hah

I took so many pics in this last live, just because i was closer (first row! hehe). But I'll leave you with just a few of them. Hope you enjoy them!

La pegatina (a pretty famous Catalan band) was playing too after that three bands, but since we were a bit tired and wanted to see some museums, we didn't wait to see them.

Then, since you could go into any museum for free, we headed to Poble Espanyol.
It's a place were every "street" represents a typical spanish zone, you could visit Spain in just an hour here! haha
We also wanted to see the Picasso museum, but since it was almost 1'30am they were closing and didn't let us in.
Spent a little time there. It was dark, too crowded and I have free tickets so I can go again and take pics and see everything at my own peace.

So, this was how my Friday night went. How about you all? Have you done anything interesting lately? :3

Btw, Miruku is hosting her fist giveaway!! All the prizes are amazing, and I want to win it, so don't enter! hahha (but follow her blog anyways, it's really interesting!♥)
