I'm just a mouth-breathing pervert who enjoys the company of horseshoe crabs and sassy Victoria's Secret panties with dreams of retiring in sunny California and owning an alpaca ranch. I mostly blog about beauty tips, loving yourself, fashion, and loving others. I write primarily in British English.

- Yay! New blog post~ I finally went ahead and continued where I left off on the Lolita 52 challenge. =)
- I thought I'd finally sit down and keep record of all the different places I have appeared as a model, artist, or a spokesperson of some sort. The photos and screencaps you see here is where I have agreed to have my image used! If you see them circulating anywhere else on accounts that do not belong to me, please let me know.
- Probably the best floating photo I've seen all day. Looks like a unicorn is behind it all!
- Beautiful pair of tights that I MUST have. *A* Pre-order them from the Fairytale Boutique!! Beautiful collaboration with Automatic Honey. =)
- I love how these designs are reminiscent of Suppurate System!! Like and share to spread the word for this small business~
- Love this! Hope you all had a great weekend! =) For some reason there is a delay in receiving my messages on this page, sorry for my delayed responses in the future if you do message me on here!
- Please make sure to spread the world, these tights are replicas of Sweetie Cakes' hard work! Hopefully ROMWE takes it down soon.
- Thank you for sharing this photo Starlight Deco Dream! =D I am modeling her Memento Mori series! =)
- I finally made a post about the Renaissance Faire I went to in early April! Can you believe it's May already?
- I must do this.
- You can check out all the looks I wore to my recent photoshoot with Saitam Photography for Starlight Deco Dream on my blog now! If you have a LookBook, feel free to hype them on there and let me know what you think! I'm super excited to finally be able to share them~ I mention briefly how I first started planning that very first outfit I wore back in July!
- Oh my goodness, this sounds exciting! Please take the survey and share~ I'd do anything to help out one of my favourite shop owners. =D
- The next three days, I'll be posting the three different looks I wore for Saitam Photography and Starlight Deco Dream's photoshoot onto my LookBook! Check out the first one~ I used Sakura Kinomoto's catchphrase as the title for this look--"Everything will be alright!"
- Yet again, sorry for really not posting that often! I have a couple of things I attended that I can blog about, so I am probably going to share a bunch of photos soon! It's just a matter of editing them all... I have over 500 photos to pick through. 1) Nearly 3 months straight of never being home: the picture diary. 2) Renaissance Faire Meet-up with the lolitas, and how I really want to be good at archery.
- I totally want to do a shoot like this sometime. I love the bright colours, wide-eye lens, and cluttered composition! Maybe TATE'S Comics + Toys + Videos + More would be down for letting me borrow their awesome store for this. *A*
- My apologies for my blog being so inactive for the past couple of weeks! Here is my latest entry about Kirameki Mag and a recent date I went on~ Lots of delicious food photos in this post!
- I'm receiving more and more completed shots from Saitam Photography's photoshoot with me last week!! I am so excited to share them, they look SO awesome. *A*
- One of the exciting opportunities I was offered today! (The other is a secret until we get some things set in stone, so hopefully soon~) I'll be contributing to a brand new alternative and J-fashion magazine, Kirameki Mag, as a writer and designer~ Please like that page, and if you're interested in any opportunities, message us there! =D
- Yay! One of the three outfits I had planned for my Starlight Deco Dream photoshoot is up on Saitam Photography's Facebook! Go check both of them out, they are such amazing and talented people. I was inspired by Yoyokin's art for this one and wore elf ears with the outfit since she draws such cute little demons for her Starlight Deco Dream art! I will post the other outfits soon!
- Ugh, I have been neglecting pretty much all of my social networks in favour of playing Tera: Rising right now. Does anyone else who follow me play the game? Here are my characters, add me if you want to hang out some time and do dungeons together! My Elin Mystic's username is Avina.Star and my Castanic Archer is Zoravina. (Not really original names, just a combination of my name and one of my dog's names, LOL).
- I think Lush officially had the best April Fool's Joke I've seen today. Hahaha!! If only it was real. ;A;
- Magical Meggie and I had to double check to make sure that it wasn't one big cruel April Fool's Joke, but guess what, it isn't! Our galaxxxy video was posted on Youtube!! Please like and share around~ =D
- Looks like quite a few of my friends have been receiving a disproportionate amount of hate today--I dedicate this to ya'll!! STAY KAWAII EVERYONE
- Who'd be interested in seeing me jump on the Throwback Thursday train more frequently and posting outfits from recent years that I've squirreled away on the internet? I honestly really liked a lot of the outfits I wore that I didn't really share, it'd be nice to let them see the light of day (again, in some cases). Right now over at my Instagram (http://instagram.com/_avina_ ) I am having fun posting photos from last year's MegaCon Convention that I sadly was not able to attend this year. ;A; Hope you enjoy what I posted! Here is the bigger original photo for the photo of Cindy Morgan posted recently on there! *A* Can't believe it's been over a year!
- Oh my goodness, this is so inspirational, I just love this photoshoot!

I desperately need the ob x shu uemura lashes that came out. They are absolutely darling, and come with little gemstones and appliques on them! FFFF, what I’d give to have both. ;A; They are so pricey though…
- So I finally figured out how to rig reply-replies until Missing e is back up and running again...I wanna see the videoooo
Galaxxxy will be uploading it onto their Youtube soon!! *A* When that happens I’ll post it everywhere, I promise!
Wow, that’s so cool!Thank you doll! <33
You look great!Thank you!! I’ve been forgetting to smile in my photos recently, so I’m glad it still looks good~
Omg congratulations! And you look awesome, by the way :)Thank you!!! =D
HOWDY PARTNER~ I still love this coord so much. I’m so glad you wore this for the video ; A ;Huhuhu, partners in crime! <333
Reblogging here because I know some of you only follow me on this blog. *A* Thank you so much everyone!

I shot a video for the Japanese brand Galaxxxy and am happy to announce that I’ll be one of their U.S. spokesmodels along with a bunch of other lovely girls from California and Florida! I am super excited about this opportunity, and am really happy to probably have worn my favourite outfit to date for the video.
Finally uploaded the look on LookBook! =) Hope you enjoy it.

Omigosh I can finally share this! At SPX last year, I was asked to draw something including the words “TOO KAWAII TO LIVE, TOO SUGOI TO DIE.” Afterwards, Ananth and I asked if we could elaborate on the sketch and make it into some sorta design and then I did.
This is now available as both a tee and a print over at Topatoco if you’re interested! And there’s the rest of our store at Topatoco as well.
I WOULD GET THIS TATTOOED IN A HEARTBEAT
I would totally buy the shirt if it was available in a similar blue colour to the one on the print! *A*
Something for my friend Avina! She’s incredibly cute, stylish, and is the official Attorney of Kawaii. Avina I expect you to put this on all of your business cards once you’re a real-as-corn lawyer. If you don’t I will cry big, anime tears.
This is seriously fanart of me and I could cry omg Kate. *A* She drew me fanart years back and she is the beeeest.
Also I am still diggin’ the Sailor Moon (specifically Sailor Venus) feels I get when I look at this. “In the name of the law, I will prosecute you!”I’m really excited about the latest Lolita Blog Carnival post I did! Check it out here!
We had to pick three “lolita” beverages and make outfits to match. I wanted to try and avoid conventional teas as much as possible, so I picked a Chocolate & Matcha Frappé, Lavender Lemonade, and Spiced Mulled Wine (made A Game of Thrones style). I had a lot of fun playing with colour palettes and putting together the collages—and was especially inspired by Sakizo’s artwork. I may try and wear coordinates like these in the future. *A*some pics from Saturdaaay u v u
omg, lovvveee
a++ laffi
Oh my goodness, the shibari aspects are to die for. *A*
fucking Japan,man
cuuute
i need it
Was this made out of a bunch of dakimakura? Because I think I need this.
- 5'4"??
So I think for the past couple of years I’ve thought I was 157 cm thanks to doctors who never quite measure me correctly and have given me ball-park estimates from 159 to 165 cm. APPARENTLY I AM AT LEAST FIVE CENTIMETRES TALLER THAN THAT?
I keep asking friends who are shorter than me what their height is and they always say 157-160 cm and I’m just totally stunned because I guess that difference means a lot to me???
But this also means my whole about me is a lie.This changes everything. Well not really everything, but now I’m really happy! I always wished I was two inches taller because I dunno… 162 cm always seemed like a nice height (meh I don’t need to explain myself) and turns out I was always that height??? So now I’m like the nice middle that I enjoy. *A*
This also means my drivers’ license has the wrong height but I don’t care really. It technically has the wrong hair colour too once I dye my hair another colour, haha~But in the end, I am pretty happy.
- check out more black hair goodness at my yura tag jfashionmagazines(.)tumblr(.)com/tagged/yura/ sorry for being nosy haha > < but she's my favourite model of all time
Yeeek, I’m following you now~ I need to follow more people that post Magazine scans, hehe! =D She is sooo super cute. *A* Browsing through it now~ KERA March 2013
I have to say, this makes me really like black hair a lot more than I originally did. I need to find more photos like this for when I coax myself back to going to my natural hair colour—because this will just make me feel so much better. ;A;
This August, I’ll be entering law school, and I think one of my most superficial fears is not being able to express myself fashionably once I enter the workforce. But today my brain was churning with ideas, so I made an inspiration board for what I’d like to slowly build up in my wardrobe for my work wardrobe!
I’ve also been seriously considering cutting my hair super short too. *A* So there’s also a little bit of hairstyle inspiration! What do you guys think??
I know what got this all started for me was the picture at the bottom left-most end. I just love that length midi skirt, especially in pencil skirt form. ♥ I know some of these outfits are waaay too himekaji for work, but the details and colour combinations of some of them is really what got me.I am in love with how this photo looks after I edited it a bit to give it that dreamy feel. This is probably one of my favourite outfits I have put together in a while!! More shots of it coming soon~
For those of you wondering, this is the same coordinate I wore in this post.They could not be forgotten because now is now. (by Avina ★彡)
I had some friends over to do some character creation for an Exalted game we’ve been planning for ages now. This gorgeous Angelic Pretty dress is so soft since it’s quite old, and I love my giant cat bag!
A video that Meggie and I have been so excited for is coming along super nicely. *A* I can’t wait to see the final project!!
they remind of the revolutionary utena shadow girls.
Oh my goodness, that was the best connection ever to make.
Stupid outtake from my latest look! I spent more time goofing off than actually seriously taking photos. So glad my friend captured this!! *A*

Another trip to Disney! I will never grow out of this place. I even ran into Honey BooBoo randomly that day, wasn’t expecting that. *A* I had a lot of fun wearing this outfit, and the shoes remained surprisingly comfortable for a long time!A couple of detail shots of one of my favourite coordinates I have ever put together! I need more pins with profanities on them.
I did a review on chibi_tenshi’s awesome shopping service on my blog! While I was photographing the things she helped me buy, I realised I have probably one of the older tags and the newest Angelic Pretty tag in my possession, so I snapped a photo of them together! Look at how much they’ve changed. *A*
I highly recommend chibi_tenshi to everyone, I’ve used her to do Angelic Pretty reservations, bid on mBok!, and personally go into a store to purchase things for me, all of which she did extremely well and for a decent price.
