Shooting of Kawaii International

Last thursday was a very special day ! Can you guess where and who was I with ? 
Maybe with some clues...

Whose glove is this ?


Whose shoes are those ?...

I hope you guessed right ! 
I had the unique, amazing and unforgettable chance to be the Parisian guide for Minori !


On the occasion of Kawaii International (http://www.facebook.com/kawaiiiofficial)'s venue to Japan Expo, they shot Minori all around emblematic places of Paris : what a great idea, isn't it ? I was, for this day, her guide through the most fashionable district of Paris : le Marais. This place is filled with open-minded people, and gorgeous shops. I guess that was the right place for Minori, don't you think so ?

Minori was wearing one of her fabulous handmade outfit !

We first went to some vintage or freelance stylists' shop. Le Marais is full of high parisian brand's shops, but we can also find some nice little stores with handmade and unique creations ! Those kind of stores really suit to Minori's style. I had to select some shops in order to show them to Minori ! I'm glad she did like the stores I chose. I guess you will soon see the stores in full detail and the reaction of the shop staffs to Minori in the new episode of Kawaii International. How do you think shop staffs reacted ? Haha~


What did Minori ask for ? A tea ! I guess only tea can match perfectly with her "monshiro-jyo" style.

Filming can be so tiring ! haha~ So, we had a break in a lovely area and took this opportunity to shoot Minori in a very French-like café and beautiful surroundings. I bet the international viewers will like it a lot. Last but not least, we also went to le Pic de l'île de la Cité, which is a beautiful park in the very extreme point of one of the Island on the Seine (the same island where Notre-Dame is). We had a little picnic with macarons. How French is it ! Haha. 

I now can't say more about this secret shooting in Paris, but don't worry there are also other few surprises left in the show. Will you watch it ? I hope so ! Minori will be as fabulous as usual and I... I will just be me (what's this even supposed to mean ?...). I hope I won't be too silly on screen (^-^)". I really spent an excellent day with all the team, I'm sure you won't be disappointed by the show, they did an amazing job for you all !

This is now time to go, there are few pictures left, I hope you will enjoy it.



Was Minori able to spread her style in Paris ?... 
You will see soon in another Kawaii International episode~

Please, look forward to watching this special episode in Paris ! 

This special episode will be aired on August 31st !
Keep supporting Kawaii.i


Thanks to Kawaii International's staff, Kawaii International's producer, 
Minori, her lovely friend Ran, the director and his assistant.

Le Piano dans le ciel


Hi lovely readers ! How are you ? I've been so busy with the lolita events. However it was an amazing week, everything went so fast and so nice, I wish it could last a little longer (though my tiredness was hardly bearable after the last day). A lot of posts will coming soon ! I can't wait to show you everything, I hope you will enjoy my articles as much as I enjoyed being there. 

To begin with I share with you some picture of my thursday's coordination. I really wanted to wear (again) my Misty Sky JSK, I really can't get enough of it... But I also wanted to add so sweet and cute elements, in order to create something very Angelic Pretty-like. A cute bag and a matching necklace, some tea parties on my feet and a bow in my hair, that was what I needed !

Comment allez-vous ?~ J'ai été si occupée entre le stage et les events lolita, mais je reviens, pour votre plus grand plaisir (et plus forte que jamais = a.k.a. avec un nouvel appareil photo). Les events étaient juste géniaux ! J'aurais bien aimé que cela dure un peu plus longtemps encore (même s'il ne faut pas se leurrer, mon corps n'aurait pas tenu 2 jours de plus avec aussi peu de sommeil, haha~).

En attendant le tri, le recadrage et la retouche de mes photos (ce qui prend du temps, mine de rien), je partage avec vous ma tenue de jeudi dernier. Je sais que je porte la Misty Sky presque une fois sur deux, mais cette robe est si belle, je ne peux pas m'en empêcher. 



I am wearing : Dress, bow ang bag : Angelic Pretty — Blouse and cuffs : Baby the stars shine bright
Shoes : Offbrand  — Thigh highs : Oysho — Necklace : Offbrand

At the end of the day, in front of the Kawaii Café with Marie, Aliénor and Ludovic
As you can see, I changed my hair color ! What do you think of it ? A talented friend, Mathilde, did it for me. She did some hair stylist studies and her own hair was always so amazing that I could only ask her. She did a better job than any of the hairdressing salons I went to (and it's been now more than a week that I did it, added with several hair washings) ! If, by the way, you're living in Paris (or near Paris) and you need some help with a hair color you've always wanted, I can put you in touch with Mathilde.

That Thursday was maybe exhausting but still an amazing and unforgettable day ! Can you guess why ?... Let's have some clues : I was with someone very special ! Sharing an unique experience ! I guess you all know that "someone"~ If you have any idea of what I did or who I was with, share it with a comment. The answer will come soon...  

Whose glove could it be ?

July Events 2013


Les évènements de juillet arrivent à grand pas, oui bon, autant dire qu'ils commencent demain. Je dois bien avouer qu'il y a cette hâte grandissante en moi que je ne saurais cacher : après tout, c'est la première fois que je peux assister à tous ces events. Première Tea Party d'été, première Japan Expo, première Convention Lolita, les cinq jours qui suivent s'annoncent hauts en couleur, et surtout, avec très peu de sommeil. Je suis actuellement en stage mais j'ai réussi à négocier mon jeudi, vendredi et samedi tout en étant disponible le lundi (puisque la galerie où je travaille est fermée — notez que j'ai réellement trouvé un stage, quel talent.).

Ainsi mes dernières semaines n'ont pas été très passionnantes, à moins que l'envoie de mails professionnels, la comptabilité des dépenses et l'accrochage des oeuvres ne déclenchent en vous un intérêt subit ? Je compte toutefois me rattraper grandement lors de cette semaine de juillet à la fois merveilleuse et stressante.

Planning prévu :
(Si vous me trouvez du temps pour dormir, n'hésitez pas à faire partager vos solutions ;__;)

 Jeudi :

○ Journée au planning secret. (mouhaha. Ca commence bien.)
Mais ne vous en faites pas, je pourrais sûrement bientôt plus vous en dévoiler.
○ Passage au Kawaii Café à 20heures.
Parce que je suis une warrior à que je n'ai peur de rien. Même pas de la foule qu'il y aura.

 Vendredi :

Tea Party Btssb.
Ma coordination est d'ailleurs finie à... je dirais... 98%.
Petite after-Tea Party.
Faut pas déconner non plus, c'est essentiel.

 Samedi :

○ Japan Expo.
Quelques passages aux stands qui m'intéressent, rencontres de nouvelles personnes
et sinon ce sera errance au milieu des corps transpirants.
Le soir, "Twice Upon a Time", la soirée de lancement de la nouvelle collection de Clara Maeda. 
Où je vais revoir mes chères et tendres Léonie et Diana, j'ai hâte !

 Dimanche :

○ Je me pose de bon matin devant le Bataclan, pour le concert de Perfume.
Une journée sous le signe de la patience et du wota.

 Lundi :

○ Arrivée de bon matin à la Convention Lolita.
J'y serai à la fois pour visiter, rencontrer de nouvelles personnes,
défiler et quelques autres surprises encore~
○ Une nouvelle soirée after-events.
Pour péter un coup et se noyer dans la vodka et les rires.


En attendant je suis tout de même sortie samedi dernier, pour aller à une soirée lolita spécialement organisée par la boutique Voriagh. Une nouvelle découverte pour moi, il semblerait pourtant que la marqué ait vu le jour il y a quelques années déjà ! Je vous conseille d'y faire un tour, sur le website ou à la boutique parisienne, c'est un régal pour les yeux.

Je n'ai pas pu faire de photos, malheureusement, je n'avais pas encore mon appareil (que j'ai acheté ce matin, fufufu ) mais vous pouvez faire un tour sur leur album Facebook (où vous pourrez voir que j'étais bel et bien la seule non vêtue de noir). Du coup, j'ai tout de même tenu à porter du lolita pour l'occasion — ou de l'otome si vous préférez, mais ce n'est pas l'heure de chipoter. Merci (toujours et) encore à Marie pour les photos 



I am wearing : Béret : Offbrand — Brooch : Angelic Pretty— Blouse : Zara
Dress : Emily Temple Cute  — Bag : Offbrand — Socks : Offbrand — Shoes : Offbrand

July's events are coming soon ! I can't believe I can finally be there for Japan Expo, Tea Parties, Convention Lolita. I've been wishing I could be there for five years now~ My planning is so busy, I feel that I won't even have time to rest, haha (^-^)

I'm sorry I haven't been able to post a lot those past few weeks. I've found an internship so I've been pretty busy ! And I'm sure you wouldn't be very interested in blog posts about professional emails, accountancy or exhibition setups. However, here is my schedule for July's events. I wonder if there will be any foreigner lolitas this year ? I hope so ! If any of you come to Paris, let me know  


 Thursday :

Secret plans
Muhahaha. How fancy it is to say something like this,
but I will let you know as soon as I can.
○ Going to Kawaii Café a 8PM.
There will be a lot of people. I mean it'll surely be crowded. But I'm also a warrior.

 Friday :

○ Btssb's Tea Party.
My outfit will soon be finished. I hope so. (maybe tonight ?...)
○ After Tea-Party.
It's really needed after a Tea Party !

 Saturday :

○ Japan Expo.
I will surely be between some fashion booth and Kawaii International booth~
 In the evening,  "Twice Upon a Time", launch event for Clara Maeda's new collection.

 Sunday :

○ PERFUME's concert ! 
I will be queuing at the Bataclan since the morning, surrounded by patience and wota.

 Monday :

○ Early arrival at Convention Lolita.
The first time I will be able to go, can't wait to see all the booths !
I will also fo the fashion show.
○ In the evening : After-event's party. Again.
The party we all need, with friends, vodka and laughs. 

See ya~ If you're coming to Paris, please let me know !
