Event : Kawaii International filming for Enchanted

J'ai commencé mon report en vous parlant du brunch pré-Enchanted mais j'ai omis de vous faire part de nos merveilleuses aventures du vendredi ! Kawaii International s'étant intéressé de près à l'organisation d'Enchanted, ces derniers souhaitaient des prises de vues avant l'événement, montrant toute la team du Street Fashion Europe — ou du moins une grande partie de la team. L'occasion pour nous de nous réunir et discuter des derniers détails de coordination : bénévoles, tickets, positions des stands, goodies dans les sacs VIP, etc.

Tandis que certaines filles de l'équipe étaient allées à l'aéroport chercher et accompagner les invités d'honneur, j'ai décidé de profiter un peu de Londres, avant de me mettre concrètement au travail... Profiter est un grand mot : disons que je me suis baladée pour aller jusqu'au Starbucks, en compagnie de Marie et Lunie, où nous devions retrouver Isa, la représentante espagnole du Street Fashion Europe.

Après mon délicieux chocolat frappé de chez Starbucks (chose merveilleuse que nous n'avons PAS en France — je m'en vais pleurer dans un coin.), nous nous sommes dirigées vers le fameux lieu du tournage : l'hôtel qui allait également accueillir la Tea Party d'Enchanted, le dimanche même, Le Rubens Hotel ! Qui était également l'hôtel dans lequel s'était déroulé la Tea Party de Frock On en août dernier. Ca m'a fait plaisir de voir que l'équipe d'accueil était toujours aussi aimable~ Ils sont vraiment adorables, souriants et toujours curieux de connaître le lolita s'ils n'en ont jamais entendu parler (bien qu'il semblerait que la plupart d'entre eux connaissent finalement plutôt ça bien, à force de voir des Tea Party au Rubens Hotel, haha~).

Grâce à la NHK nous avons même pu réserver un petit salon juste pour nous~ Je ne commenterai le bon goût de la décoration (oui. tout est léopard.), mais c'était un endroit très tranquille et parfait pour filmer ! Après avoir attendu quelques minutes les dernières filles : le tournage a enfin pu commencer dans la joie... Et un peu de stress quand même. 

Nous avons réglé beaucoup de derniers détails, pour les plannings, les tâches à réaliser, le programme, le placement des stands... Des tas de petites choses mine de rien très importantes et dont il est bien plus facile de parler en direct ! 

Kawaii International team !

Myself, hardworking, as usual

L'émission autour d'Enchanted va d'ailleurs bientôt être diffusée ! Les personnes qui ne pouvaient venir à l'événement vont enfin avoir l'occasion de voir à quoi Enchanted ressemblait et pour celles qui se demandaient quelle organisation était nécessaire pour démarrer, créer, mettre en place un event d'une telle envergure... Et bien vous pourrez surement nous voir débattre, courir, pleurer et nous rouler par terre ლ(๏‿๏ ◝ლ) (j'aime mettre des smileys psychopathes)

Event : Organisers' brunch pre-Enchanted

Hello ! How are you my dear readers ? How I am ? Exhausted for sure, haha ! That was maybe the toughest but yet the most amazing week-end I've ever spent ! I guess this report won't be as formal as usual : since I was one of the main organiser of Enchanted, I didn't really spend my time enjoyed the event but more running from on side of the venue to the other with my back-bag on.

I thought it could be great if I had pictures inside of the venue before the event begins, but well, I had just before leaving the — now useful — idea to take pictures also near our hotel. Happened that I didn't have any time during the event, so I guess that was quite a nice move to take pictures before I run and sweat all around the venue. (What ? Would I exaggerate ? Not a bit.)

We woke pretty early (too early for my own good) and left the hotel around 10:30AM so we could go brunching with lovely people ! Marie and I had to brunch with the other organisers, while Diana and Mathilde had to also have lunch pretty early in order to go to the models' rehearsal that began at the venue. Finally the brunch we eat at was roomy enough to let Mathilde et Diana eat with us~ (thought they were not at our table ;___;)

Diana as beautiful as usual. The is the real lady among us.
I just can't get enough of the photograph on the left. 

Lili was sharing a room with us at the hotel~ But she eat with other people attending to the event :D

My perfect (and sunny) Marie, wearing her J&J's Crucifixion for the first time !!
Can you see the Crown of Thorns she had as a headdress ?

We eat at Merchant of Bishopsgate, near Liverpool Street Station. It was indeed a very delicious restaurant : I took a whole typical English brunch, just I what needed and wanted ! As I sat with Marie, Harly, Bloody and Lunie, the other members or the team arrived just in time in order to have the quickest brunch ever, haha~ We had only one hour to fulfill our stomaches before going to the venue. So, we took the opportunity to make some pictures before being served~ Let me introduce you to a part of the Street Fashion Europe team that have been working hard for months now ☆～（ゝ。∂）(Unfortunately I don't have a picture of everyone there, and some organisers weren't here (´Ａ｀。) )

Oxana from Russia ! Her husband and herself were filming all the week-end,
I guess we will soon have an amazing video to share about first SFE's event ! 

Oxana (Russia), Kyra (England/U.K.) and Oh Tralala (Germany)

Carmilla (Italia and Finland) and Michaela (England/U.K.)

Lunie (Belgium/France), Bloody (France)

Vief (Belgium/Netherlands/U.K.), Lunie, Bloody and Harly (Germany)

That was a super fast brunch but still had a lot of fun ! It was great to talk about things and others before going to hard work ! Since we were altogether, Marie, Bloody, Lunie, Diana and I it was also a great time to talk a bit about French Café, since we all are in the main team. If you still not know about French Café and its Garden Party coming on July 7th (just after the Japan Expo), you should totally check our ☆ Facebook Event ☆ ( ﾉ^ω^)ﾉﾟ

You now know what's happening before Enchanted... Eggs and bacon. Well, not quite : it was a way to relax altogether before the H-hour. I feel like all my time was dedicated to Enchanted during this journey, and I'm still super happy about it. Couldn't spend a better week-end (except if I had one or two days more available in order to visit the city and enjoy London with my friends ;__;). But well, I knew what it would be like, and still not disappointed, at all ☆～（ゝ。∂）I wouldn't do it a different way, not for all the world. 

We went then as fast as we could to the venue. Some girls were already ready for the rehearsal, booths were getting set up, and SFE team was running everywhere. Doing the VIP bags, teach the choreography for the fashion show, answering all the questions, preparing the entrance, that was quite a preparation ! I'm now leaving you with some super secret (not so secret) pictures from Marie, before the doors opened with some bonus pictures, because I know you love them~~

See you soon for the posts about Enchanted !! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Event : Frock On! (part. 1)

Since reporting the whole event would be way too long (so many things to say !), I cut the main Saturday event in two parts (maybe three ?). I will mainly focus on the fashion show's experience and outfits in this one, if you are more interested into general informations, stalls and activities, please, wait for the other parts (*⌒∇⌒*)

I woke up pretty early on Frock On's day in order to go as soon as possible at the venue with Bloody. Indeed, we had to try on our last outfits that we couldn’t try the evening before. I have to say I was literally amazed when I first saw my Millefleurs’ outfit. It might not be a style that I usually wear but I could only do adore what Millefleurs sent to us. While Marly was in the gold dress, Cordelia in the red one, I wore the flowers’ one: we can say our dress matched us pretty well! More than the dress itself, it was the bonnets I was totally fond of. Look how gorgeous they are!

Marby, Cordelia and I ♡

My second outfit was by the Argentinean brand Chérie Cérise. I was both surprised and happy they picked my application. At first, I thought I couldn’t honour them as I didn’t feel I matched the brand’s feel. Finally I just loved the dress and the whole outfit they picked for me! The bat dress was so cute, detailed and soft that I could’ve wore it all day. The under-fabric was all sparkly and the bat-sleeves were absolute cuteness. Plus, Roxie Sweetheart lent Chérie Cerise jewelleries to match the outfits: might be a detail, but it really put the finishing touches on to the coordinations.

All lolitas waiting for the fashion shows to begin !

Modelling was a little bit stressing, especially that the girls watching us were very near to the catwalk. But all my friends were here to support Bloody and I ! No mistake allowed, haha~ I don’t really know what Millefleurs thought of our performance but Chérie Cerise told me they were very happy they picked me as a model! I couldn’t feel happier when they told me that, my only goal was to proudly represent their brand!

The whole atmosphere in the backstage was really lovely and funny, it was a moment of pure joy and enthusiasm. Everyone was adorable and I really did meet some nice girls ! I also saw people I was dreaming of seeing (do I sound like a fangirl yet ?). I really hope the backstage feeling will be the same at Enchanted, and I'm sure it will be~

Models for 4 O'Clock had to walk on those amazing shoes !

I know the biggest part of the attendees went seeing the fashions shows ! What did you think about it ? I hope the walks wasn't too awkward, haha ! It must be told that we are not professional models (well... Except Chokelate. Is that even fair ? She was simply stunning !)

Obviously, I couldn’t watch the catwalk while the girls were modelling (that’s the sad side of modelling during events ;__;) but I think I watched all the pictures and videos of both of the fashion shows, haha~ I picked some of my favourites outfits so you can have an apercu of the designers’ talent!

Lyci and Chokelate for Juliette & Justine

A lovely girl for Baroque. I just love this dress !

Maja and a cute fawn-girl for Haenuli I do adore Maya's dress !

Travels : London

I've been such a terrible blogger these past few months, I owe you big apologizes my dear readers ! I will make up for my lack of updates the best I can : I definitively have a lot of events to tell you about, coordinations to share and things to write about. So let's start in order, with some amazing places and events I went to during summer... I couldn't wait to tell you about my trip to London and my attendance at the now well-known Frock On !

On the sunny yet busy Friday 30th August 2013, I took the train with Alienor, Ludwig and Marie to London ! I must say it was my first time in this city and I was pretty excited to be there, though it was only for few days... I knew at least it would be an intense week-end. We woke up pretty early in order to be as early as possible in London — though I must say now we arrived too early... We were more tired than anything else, haha. We will definitely pick a later train next time ! 

We took the train so early I ended up doing my make-up in the train, I hadn't the time to do it before leaving (also we had a surprise birthday party for Ludwig the night before... busy schedule is busy, and tired Mila was tired). After hours in the train, subway, looking for the hotel and checking in we finally went for a walk around the city. The city was so calm and sunny, I must say it really does look like the city we can see through the movies (so many red and yellow bricks. everywhere). Noting that London has, obviously, the best street names ever we improvised a little photoshoot for Alienor and Ludwig, as their outfits matched well with the feeling of the place we were in. 

Soon in Men's VOGUE !

Wandering through the city, Zoé finally joined us in order to go to Vivienne Westwood. We couldn't not go the World's End, especially with Ludwig, Alienor and Zoé among us, big fan of Vivienne Westwood that they are ! The store is sooo far away from every subway stations I was wondering London people were enough brave to go there often, it was more of an epic journey than a relaxing walk, haha.

Finally arriving to the store, I wasn't really fond of anything — plus I wanted to wait Frock On in order to spend all my money, I didn't know what I could find there ! — but I must say it was quite an experience to go there. I may not have spent my money in Westwood, but our three fans bought some jewelries, t-shirts and brooches — that I don't even have pictures of, too bad 'cause they were very nice and cool. Making up for the lack of money spent in Westwood's jewelries, I ended up wanting a chocolate at Starbucks, luckily we had one near the shop.

(I know you saw I messed up with my own name.)

Most of us had a free-schedule until tomorrow, but I wasn't one of them : I had to go to Frock On's venue for the fashion show rehearsal. Though I was pretty sad to leave my friends, I was also pretty excited to see the venue, meet some girls and try on the clothes I had to wear ! I had the chance to be picked as a model for Chérie Cerise and Millefleurs : both of the outfits were amazing, I can't wait to show you in my next post... 

I went to the rehearsal with Bloody (since she was also modeling) and Marie (because she is very kind). And I must admit it was quite an experience, haha ! We tried on the clothes that were already within the venue, did fashion show walking training, talked a lot with other girls and visited the venue — especially the restroom. Trust me when I say it was the most gorgeous restroom I've ever seen (Ladurée on Champs-Elysées' restroom aren't even that close). 

Annso being a perfect Olympia on the couch (yeah, still in the restroom)

It was quite a long but funny night, I can assure you that all the Tea Party Club staff was working hard ! More than just a fashion show rehearsal, it ended up as a real teamwork. Some packages weren't at the venue at time as we began ; at the end of the practice session, they finally arrived, ensuing a teamwork with all the girls attending to the rehearsal. Carrying up all the boxes full of clothes and accessories from the street to the venue was maybe one of my most memorable moment of my trip — well, take few seconds to picture about fifty lolitas carrying packages full of clothes through the three floors of a gorgeous venue. I must say I felt like a Santa's elf for few minutes. It was like receiving packages you will never have enough money to order.

After all those great adventures we got back to our friends, more exhausted than expected. It's that I walked all day long and rehearsals are more tiring than they seem to be ! I quickly eat with Marie — since all my lucky friends already eat at a Japanese restaurant ;w; — and went back to the hotel : a long night of sleep is needed before a daylong event (≚ᄌ≚)ƶƵ

I am wearing : Shirt : Ladurée x Uniqlo — Skirt : H&M — Cat ears : Taobao
Bag, socks and brooch : Angelic Pretty — Shoes : Secret Shop — Necklace : Chelsea

Thank you for reading ! And see you soon for my Frock On's report ! (^-^)
