Hello, Lovelies ♥


This year is coming to an end, so I decided to write a blog post in summary of my shopping experiences, haha. This year I will be honest and say I have been quite mental in terms of how much I have been buying Liz Lisa and other brands. So, I have quite a bit of experience now as I have to diligently search and trial a lot of shops since I live in Australia, a giant island in the middle of an ocean. Below I have tried to compile a list of all the way I would recommend buying Liz Lisa, coming from my own experiences. I tried to be succint as I have a tendency to babble, so that way it'll be easy to read the pros and cons that I found.

Hello, lovelies! Long time no see.

This year has gone by so quick and I have barely posted, I am sorry! Firstly, uni and work has taken up most of my time and then I went to Russia for six weeks during the holidays. Busy, busy, busy.

Since I have been working a lot, I have been making Liz Lisa purchases often, I think I might be a little crazy, haha. A lot of them from the site Tokyo Otaku Mode - which I really recommend!

I recently went to a 'Carnival of Flowers' with my best friend, where I mustered up the courage to finally wear a Liz Lisa coordinate - a flowy long sleeved top. a jumper skirt and a cardigan. I bought these all from Tokyo Otaku Mode.

Hello, everyone~

I'm adding another post to my series! This one will give a few ideas as to what to when you find some Asian clothes are too small or the wrong size for you. I don't know about you, but I always have trouble finding gyaru clothing that is long enough to wear.

I am in every mindset to just go to Japan just to personally buy the clothing myself and know for sure it's my size, but that's not that easy. I hope to find a reliable store that will sell gyaru clothing suitable for a girl of over 170cm in height!

Until then, we have to manage with what we have, right?

Wear several layers!

I found that for some short dresses or skirts, it can still work if you slip on a skirt underneath. By having one of two skirts/shorts of a neutral tone- like white, grey or black (but with most clothing, you might need a pink or white one) it might make it easier to quickly add an extra layer underneath your clothing.
You could even put some leggings, shorts or bloomers underneath as well.


Dress too short? Wear it as a top!

Yup, pretty much. Some of taller girls don't have much that we can do about gyaru clothing being too short for our frames - but we can still use it, yes! 

Almost like wearing layers, you can use the dress as a cute top instead and wear it over a skirt or jeans!

Sew on another layer/alter the length

Now for this, I am hopeless at trying to alter the length of my clothing, I'm pretty sure I would make it worse. But if you can, or know some who can, why not alter the length of your clothing through sewing? If not, then maybe a professional can do it, but that would come with a cost,

What is your experience with buying clothes online? What do you do if it's not your size? Do you know any stores that sell Asian clothing that is a good fit for western girls? Let me know!

Enjoy life!
