Axes femme

ITS JUST THE SOCKS but im getting into kogal and im new to everythign so im still excited wahhahhaa

Mostly just some second hand taobao stuff.

Bunch of taobao and aliexpress accessories.
Yellow and ivory honey cake set.
CTP in pink.
Kumya hair tie.
Two blouses that are stuck in EU shipping purgatory.
An usakumya pochette that is stuck in US shipping purgatory. My order from aliexpress literally arrived already yet this thing has been stuck for weeks.
BtSSB lucky pack that will never ship due to EMS getting the ban hammer.

>>10522293
Too many accessories and tights/socks to add.

>>10522376
Noice

>>10521532
Thanks, anon

I always regretted not getting in on the MTO for this.

This is pretty much all of the weeb/lolita stuff I bought this year. Most is still sitting at my SS's storage but a few have arrived. Didn't go too crazy buying things as I'm trying to save a few grand for next year, but it's still a nice amount. Very happy I found the limited MHXA figure for a good price as it's a (xmas)gift for bf.

>>10521452

>>10522376
Can you share what’s in the lucky pack when you get it? I’m very curious!

>>10523378
You have good taste anon!

Be careful with your jewelry snow socks. They're very sheer pantyhose esque material. Mine snagged on something the first wear and have a godawful run in them and it's so sad.

My haul that are currently in the mail! Most of it are stuck in limbo though.

>>10523472
Yea absolutely. I'm just not sure when I will get it as EMS is banned currently from JP to US. It might be a long while lol. But this board is slow as fuck so if anything I'll post in the next thread.

Need to finally ship over some second-hand clothing that I've bought off of mercari/fril over the last couple of months

>>10523538
Why'd you bother buying SC? Especially lavender, the most faded colorway.

>>10523756
Nta but how do you know the one she bought was faded? Also, I bet she bought it before the MTO was announced so why wouldn't she buy it if she liked it, lmao.

>>10523761
all of them are faded

>>10523764
...No? There are still some mint condition ones floating around.

Been on a huge mcyt kick recently. I've been watching Schlatt for a long time now, I'm really pleased to have gotten the 6in & 1ft ram plushies. I know it's cringey, but so is wearing big poofy girly dresses, so it's not as if this is something new to me.

>>10522280
thats a cute heart bag where is it from?

>>10523761
Yeah bought SC before the MTO was announced and it was pretty cheap from a local com. Will still buy items from the MTO though.

Bought a few dream items secondhand, like the Tokyo Boppers and the RM bag. Yet I'm still most excited about the weeb stuff.

Really looking forward to the JM items!

I've gotten all of my items from various taobao shops except for Red Maria. They haven't shipped anything yet despite follow up from my SS. reee

>>10522127
Link to the shoes on theft?

>>10523782
Please please where is the heart backpack from. Please link

Star Twinkle was so fucking good.

>>10525019
Good taste, anon!

>>10522376
Have gotten one item out of this list. Taobao is delayed and fuckt. See you all in 6 months when shit finally ships lmao

I purchased this from an indie brand from Vietnam called Glitter Tale through Facebook. As a larger busted person, I really like this brand because they do prints and you can choose the cut you want for no extra charge. I dropped the waist to true waist for mine. And they’re small enough a company to remember their clients after a few orders. I ordered the same sort of cut previously and didn’t have to resend measurements.

>>10527255
Not to ruin the fun, but where you paid to write this?

>>10527259
Nta but maybe they posted here instead of the indie review thread on accident

>>10527255
Poor man's ruins cathedral/all old mmm ops

>>10527259
Figured this info would belong with the post. Name, plus sized friendly, why I like them, how to find them in case someone was interested. Simply thought someone might have any of those questions.

Not sure if appropriate thread, but does anyone have experience marking down packages shipped with DHL? Usually I don’t bother, but I accumulated a large order and customs here are brutal with these couriers. Canadian, so my only options or that or surface mail, and I’m not sure I’m comfortable with surface for such a large order. My worry is DHL might come back and ask for an invoice if I mark it down.

>>10527362
>My worry is DHL might come back and ask for an invoice if I mark it down.
Inspect Element the website, screenshot it and then print it.
>inb4 the customs sperg shows up and shits up the thread

>>10527362
I'd just wait until EMS is running again. I had to ship something DHL this month, and the shipping+brokerage+duties were almost triple what I would have paid for EMS shipping.

>>10527503
I mean I don’t need the items right away but who knows when it’ll start up again. Could be months. If there’s any information out on it I’d like to know.

>>10527362
I have never escaped paying something from DHL. Even if you mark it down, they at least seem to charge for handling fees. That being said I also never had them ask for proof of my marking down, but you just need to be not super sketch about it.

Technically fedex is an option too if the place you are using offers it, and marking down I have escaped customs better with them.

Finally got some cute rona supplies and invested in a chest binder, curious at how much smaller it will make my bust. I might add to my pile during the ap sale, or buy some unwanted salopettes, but this is it for now. I still need to make my taobao order, but I don't know what ss I should use for a Chinese address

finally found ss who operates during us daytime, bless

>>10529722
Good taste anon! What SS? In some parts of the US daytime hours intersect with Japan already, but if there's someone "up late" in Japan that responds faster midday here I'd love to support them.

>>10529725
nta but that will only create more competition soooo

>>10529726
If they are smaller and don't get enough business they won't remain open though.

There's already competitions with JP lolitas anyway, and whoever is first gets the thing regardless of if it's SS or not so the competition is only really speed which was always a factor anyway.

waiting

>>10529722
Aw I think you bought one of your things from me. Unless this was all overseas. In that case, my bad.

>>10530040
I have had scenarios like this too and it makes me smile when an anon is excited to recieve something I sold them

>>10529725
my email is in the name field, feel free to contact me and i'll lyk!

>>10529722
i probably did because a lot of this was on LM!!! i love everything coming so thank you whoever you are!

only the pony necklace was bought on mercari, was just happy to find an AP necklace that'll match sugary carnival

>>10530081
wow i'm a dummy and put it in the wrong field sorry, here you go

>10525832
Aww thanks anon!

I also ordered the mystery seconds pack from Peppermint Fox! I can post what items I get when it comes if anyone is interested.

>>10531020

It's obviously idiot o'clock because of my dumb typo. Meant to reply to >>10525832 not accidentally use green text fml

February can’t come fast enough ;_;
I got the last pre order too, whew

>>10531020
Yes please! I have also ordered one and it’s my first time buying from them, so I’m curious to see what others get

The waiting game is on

>>10531834
Link to top right op anon?

Finally found them at a decent price. I can't wait to dress them in little kumya capes.

>>10532568
Nice! Where do you purchase the capes? I have some kumyas I'd like to dress as well.

>>10532609
I buy them from Baby when they release, I buy them secondhand, or I find damaged items and take them apart to make my own capes. There's other people in my comm who've made full dresses for their Kumyas but I'm not quite there yet, I mostly stick to capes.

>>10532613
Wholesome af. I think someone linked a shop in a Taobao thread or aliexpress thread that made clothing for kumyas. I need to find it again!

>>10532560

>>10521452
I've got a few things coming, but I am most excited because I found the Chocolat-chan socks in a sock lot on Mercari. This dress was my dream that I chased for years. Now I just need the headbow!

>>10527713
based fellow sopepal

some birthday presents i got

>>10533711
Good tastes anon the bag is cute. Not begging but if you decide to sell the shirt I’ll buy it from you, I didn’t want to get the whole bag. Also been lazy to search for it on fril / mercari. Sorry not begging!

>>10533740
Anon what the fuck it says it's their bday present back off

>>10533740
Not selling anything atm

>Also been lazy to search for it on fril / mercari

You probably should check, there's been a lot of people selling parts of their lucky bags.

>>10533711
I love those LL boots. Since the ribbon is in the back it almost kind of passes as a normie boot but with a splash of frill. It's very trendy

>>10533744
Kek replies like this make me cackle

I got a dream dress!! n.n the rest of this stuff is from AliExpress

>>10536376
oooo link to the heart necklace?

Mainly wardrobe filler with a few main pieces

>>10538385
Congrats on scoring first release of Magical Etoile!

just some stuff from taobao. The purses are taking ages to make so I keep adding stuff

>>10540541
But the OP is from the second release?

>>10540544
knee highs on the bottom left?

>went to like 4 different ss for the same wristcuff listings
>none of them could get them

press f

>>10541014
Which wristcuffs?

Current Taobao orders (mostly pre order ugh) and 1 AP second hand.

Just some cosplays, a purse, and a pair of basic earrings. I'm super excited for the purse to get here!

Another kumya to add to my (slowly) growing collection.

>>10540588
Right, right, sorry. I kinda thought they only did that white bib for first release.

>>10541138
I've never seen this kumya before but it's adorable! Godspeed on your collection, anon.

>>10523764
Its a myth all SC are faded. Mine isn't

I bit the bullet and went DHL for my order with my SS. I got impatient.

>>10541014
I SPOKE TOO SOON ONE OF THEM GOT EM

>>10541065
it was these!!

>>10541832
>navy misty sky skirt
good taste anon

I'm so excited to have found this and been able to get this, it's one of my dream dresses. I won't get it for a while but that's fine.

I also have a Taobao order coming in but I already posted that in the taobao thread.

>>10541082
I love the cat JSKs, what brand is it from??

>>10540544
Good taste anon!
Link to the JSK?

>>10541146
It's the Ikebukuro anniversary kumya. Ngl I love Baby's new paw design that tells you which store got the exclusive kumya, it's really cute imo.

>>10541892
It's la poesie de camelia! It's really cute, dark and whimsical

Here's my haul for the month. Am v excite for autistic cat to arrive.

>>10541994
So cool you hapen to grab the hood cat! If you don't mind, what was the cost of that bag? I see them on sale for around 200 bucks and higher.

>>10541996
i got it for around $200 if i include dhl shipping

>>10541999
That's nice. Congrats on scoring!

>>10542000
tyty swan bby is next on my list to hunt for

Baby OP technically not in the mail yet, but I'm too happy not to share

>>10541882
My god those are cute

>>10542127
congrats on elizabeth! i tried for black/black but didn't get it, so fingers crossed for more rereleases

>also you have good taste

>>10542127
Great taste, I love that bag especially

Couldn't get an in person SS to get the dream sky cutsew so I was super happy to see it pop up secondhand at a not too ridiculous price. I'm also pretty excited about the pink coat!

>>10541135

I always want to post my hauls but I'm too paranoid people will figure out who I am from them so I never do

>>10541882
Thanks anon. I've been waiting for the original release to pop up and I'm using it as motivation to lose some weight.

>>10542182
anon-chan where are those lil clips from???

>>10542224
If anyone recognizes you then they would be outing themselves as a gull too.

>>10542236
people never consider that and usually the one outting someone else just lies.

>>10542216
Shut the fuck up thot-chan. This is a lolita thread.

>>10542236
>>10542242
I hate having to pretend I don't use a mostly-helpful extremely popular site for the past decade+ because of a few vendettas
I don't think /cgl/ has as much of a stigma now as it did back in ~2014 but it's still annoying

>>10542234
popxparade on IG

>>10542191
Nta but the one costume is a dude lol. Also the girl one covers everything?

>>10542265
>popxparade
popparade has big design replica energy. shame their stuff is cute

>>10542298
agreed, their newer stuff just directly pulls images and motifs from ap and it doesn't sit too well with me... especially their milky bear patches, those are direct replicas :/

i don't mind people making things like that for themselves to wear, but selling it is a no no

>>10542277
>tits out
>ass out
>flavor of the month
thot detected.

>>10542258
No it's not, retard. Shut up and stop shitting up the thread.

>>10542224
I thought about that before posting mine but honestly if someone knows your character well enough I feel like it shouldn't matter if you use a sight that's generally helpful like >>10542260 said.

>>10542314
I agree which is why I mostly went for generic stuff... I couldn't resist that tarot card tho and frankly I don't have the means to make it. It sorta reminds me of when Swimmer used to make print specific matching stuff desu.

>>10541135
What store are u using for the genshin impact cosplays? Can u review then when u get them? Been low key looking for a good store for a keqing

>>10542140 #
Thank you, I for sure thought I wouldn't be able to buy it. The black is absolutely gorgeous, I hope you can get it on rerelease!

>>10542148 #
Thanks, anon. Not looking forward to the bag falling apart eventually, but I couldn't pass it up.

>>10542127
Where did you find the IW velveteen JSK, anon? I’m mad jealous

I'm so excited for Fancy Hospital, it's a DD so my 2021 goal is to find the matching accessories! Also curious about how long JP surface is taking for you gulls-- I risked it with a Mercari order in Sept. and it took like 4 months. I just don't feel like paying $200 for DHL :/

>>10543235
Got it off LM! It was up for a while, surprisingly enough.

>>10524936
I have no idea who the little dude in the bottom left is but he's SO cute

>>10531020
>>10531275

My Peppermint Fox mystery pack arrived today. Not the biggest fan of the bon bon brooch (it’s cute, I’m just not into lollies), but the other two are lovely!

Just fuck me up. Padding out my wardrobe with some secondhand items

>>10542392
>ITT hoes mad

>>10543694
Oof, that’s what I get for trying to take a break from constantly scouring secondhand sites. Congratulations on the find though, it’s beautiful!

Can any Canadian gulls that have used sea/surface mail since the EMS and airmail suspension share their experience with it? It's the only shipping method tenso currently offers but I'm scared my package will get lost.

>>10544403
My packages came right around the 2 month mark so the 60 day estimate is accurate. Box was in good shape, better than my DHL boxes which came beat up. Tracking worked all the way through - there is a long period of no updates while its on the boat.

I think its a reliable shipping method if you're fine with the 2 month wait. I make sure everything's shipped in a box just in case. Tenso will add protective packaging if you ask.

Tenso also offers DHL if you message them, but its not work it imo unless you want your items right away, or if you're worried and need insurance.

>>10544998
>work it
worth it ugh

>Patiently await AP JP winter sale with a view to cop pic related
>Placed order thru SS instead of Tenso because I had an order on the go and didn't want two shipping fees
>SS take 72 hours to place order, cardigan inevitably sells out in the meantime

Damn it feels good to be a gangster

>>10543813
so cute anon! i am still waiting for my mystery pack to arrive. i love the bon bon brooch so maybe if i get something im not the biggest fan of we could trade? ill post here when mine comes in

Plus some OTKs!!

>>10546818
congrats, cute taste :)

>>10545187
Very excited to see what you get when it comes!
I’m also open to trading if there’s something you’re not so fond of.

i went kind of bonkers this week

>>10543680
seeing this post made me turn around and immediately ask baby to track down an extra roomwear set 'cuz i forgot it existed

>>10546818
Still low key regretting for not getting that pony when I could

>>10546818
Oh, jelly of CBB. I have the red OP and I've been trying to cop the red jsk instead for ages!
Good taste anon!

>>10530007
Ohhhhh my god, I am extremely jealous of all three of these.

Reviving the thread and excited for this to all come in next week.

I was definitely in a mood, buying this stuff in the middle of the night

For anyone (well, Americans) dealing with international shipping, here's a tip. In the fine print, FedEx specifies that the maximum declared value for customs is the greater of $100 USD or $9.07 USD/lb for a FedEx PAK. Don't make the same mistake as me and request a FedEx PAK for a $500 order just because it's cheaper than a box.
>Euros who need to declare everything at $20 anyway carry on

i had never seen this before but it's an imai kira screen print and i'm kinda psyched!

the lace is going to be kind of gross though, needs oxyclean

>>10556355
I saw this and loved it! I'm happy someone got it that's excited to spruce it up. : D post pics when u wash it up

>>10556355
This dress in another colorway got bought out from under me (the seller required a comment before purchase, I was the only comment and got their approval and then someone else bought it without commenting) a few years ago and I'm still really sad about it. I also saw the pink and thought it about it but pink looks terrible on me. Congrats, I hope you can restore it to what it deserves!

storage bags for my coords during travel, I hate being unable to iron while at hotels

>>10558275
god i love storage items!

>>10558292
in case you like that kinda thing, store was https://nayg.taobao.com/

>>10558946
awesome, thanks! i'll just tack them onto my order!

Already got the jacket and skirt, so I'm only waiting for the JSK, beret and barette. I've loved the look of chocolate prints for a long time but it didn't fit my wardrobe very well. I sold most of my prints last year, since I didn't feel my love for border prints as much anymore and now I'm filling the void with chocolate.

I got a big vacation remittance because covid and everything on my wishlist came up at once.

Funnily enough I never really took notice of Dreamy Dollhouse until I recently saw an inactive listing of it that had print closeup photos and immediately fell in love...excited for everything to get here!

I fought so hard for her but she’s finally mine <3
Should get shipped within the next couple of days, I can’t wait
So sad I don’t have the matching accessories but that’ll come with time

>>10542127
Excellent taste, really jealous of some of that stuff

>>10560680

>>10559325
God tier taste

I'm pretty excited desu. One of my hobbies is tracking down old cotton releases from Taobao brands, the chiffon jsk withholding of course.

>>10562303
These are all really cute. Happy for you, anon.

>>10560602

Here you go anon: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=610161140541

Recent haul over the past month, I had better luck with hauls last year, this haul feels like a clusterfuck. Some things already came in the mail, ~$140 dhl for 8 items... Others are in sea mail limbo

Also bought some non-lolita shit too in this haul and 3 taobao hauls that feel too chaotic to post.
>>10542127
Beautiful taste anon. How does the pleather hold up on the meta crown bag?
