Gothic & Lolita Ensemble Vol. 1
Just arrived in our store, the newest major gothic & Lolita magazine, Gothic & Lolita Ensemble Volume 1! From the producers of Alice Deco a la Mode.
Celebrating ten years of the term "gothic Lolita", this issue features interviews with a bunch of major brand designers including PUTUMAYO, Angelic Pretty and MAXICIMAM. Of course, there's an appearance from Mana as well, who's often credited with coining the term.
Misako is the "kawaii producer" of the magazine and is featured throughout. You'll recognize some of the other models as well (Midori and Uri at least), though there are also some faces unique to GLE.
All of the major gothic and Lolita brands are represented in the magazine, including brands we carry such as Atelier-Pierrot and Innocent World.
We will be selling this magazine for $23. Hopefully we can bring that price down in the future.
Initially, we will sell this only in our store. We do plan to sell magazines online in the future, but not yet. We'll let you know!
Angelic Pretty Jewelry Jelly is here :)
UPDATE: Jewelry Jelly is now up for order in our Angelic Pretty collection.
We're closed Mondays, but we were still at the store long enough today to receive a surprise shipment - our Angelic Pretty Jewelry Jelly series! We didn't expect this until the end of the week.
Here's what we have:
Jewelry Jelly skirt in mint
Jewelry Jelly one-piece in sax (same as AMO is wearing in the KERA ad)
Jewelry Jelly jumper skirt in mint
Jewelry Jelly alternate jumper skirt in lavender
Jewelry Jelly katyushas in sax, mint and lavender
Jewelry Jelly socks in sax, mint and lavender
All of these are in stock in New York and ready to ship as soon as we post them to our site. No drop-shipping from Japan, no waiting! They'll also be available for sale in our store tomorrow. We'll work on posting them to our site ASAP, but it will most likely be Wednesday.
We'll be doing what we usually do and grouping them in logical sets to start with, and we'll break up those sets if we still have stock after a certain time. Also, purchases will be limited to one set per person.
Lastly, those of you who placed group orders, they arrived in the same box. We'll begin shipping those tomorrow, and should be finished by Wednesday.
New items - Victorian maiden, Angelic Pretty, Algonquins
In all the excitement of last week, we almost forgot to tell you about a few things. Like, for example, a lot of the new stuff we've recently gotten. Some of you may have actually noticed that we've been posting a lot of these new products to our web site over the past week, but we've still got more to go up.
First, we got a bunch of new stuff from Angelic Pretty, including many handbag styles, several non-print jumper skirts and coordinate sets, the Cotton Candy skirt that's currently on the front page, and lots of small accessories like parasols (only in sax blue, that's all they had), wristcuffs and headbows. The smaller items will be the last to go on our site, but many of the other items are already up. We sold out of the AMO collaboration Moon Night Story bags in literally seconds, and the heart bags are now almost sold out too (only lavender is left), so it's best to hurry if we have something from AP that you want.
We will be getting more AP soon, though - specifically the Jewelry Jelly series (and a round of group orders, for those of you waiting). We'll have this series in a variety of colors and styles, hopefully around the middle of next week. By the way, if you're wondering about the title of this series, it is really Jewelry Gelée. The original Japanese uses the borrowed French word, not the English one. But when AP translated it for their international web site, they went with "Jelly", so that's what we've started using too.
We also sent out a bunch of Victorian maiden reserve orders on Tuesday, and as part of our last shipment we received two new bags and two beautiful new dresses. The bags are up for purchase now in the VM collection on our site; the dresses will follow soon. The Fairy Doll Puff Sleeve Dress in black/amethyst is currently in our window display, and the Tulip Garden Dress is available for purchase off the rack. Both will be up for purchase on the site within the next few days. The Fairy Doll Puff Sleeve Dress was reserve only - it was never really available for general sale, and has been listed as sold out on VM's site since release. But we have it.
And lastly, while a lot of our recent Algonquins shipment sold during last weekend's festivities, we still have a good number of handbags in stock, plus one color of the Bambi ear coat, as well as a few new cutsews and skirts that we need to post to the site. Check out the handbags on the site now - there are a lot of cool styles available. We've completed posting the bags to our site, so if you've been waiting for that, they're all there. Oh, and we got a lot of Patti-chans and Jacks! But they're not exactly the same as what we had on the site before, so they'll be added as new products in due time.
Misako Aoki event photos 2! Final stage!
We've got one last set of photos from last Saturday's event with Misako Aoki to bring you... these are the shots from the second camera we had working that day. New angles! Behind the scenes stuff! (Kind of.) Some cool shots in this mix that you haven't seen before.
By the way, if you see yourself here (or in the previous post) and either a) don't want to be here, or b) want to have the original size photo for yourself, just send us an email. (This applies to the individual shots with Misako, we can't send full sets.)

| The crowd begins to arrive... |

| Misako wanted a group photo before starting. |

| Group photo from the side. This crowd was mostly just the people with low line numbers! More came throughout the event. |
 |
| After taking the group shot, we went back in to prepare for a minute. |
 |
| Waiting crowd... |
 |
| Misako gets ready. She actually left these cards with us, and we'll be decorating our store with them soon. |
 |
| Still getting ready. |
 |
| Waiting for us to let people in :) She liked our balloons. |

| Just before leaving... |

| Bye bye! |
If you didn't see us post this on EGL, Misako also wrote a lot about this trip and her visit to our store on her own blog - she used a lot of our pictures! And a lot of her own too. You can use something like Google Translate to help you read them. It seems you guys all made a big impression on her. We hope she will come back sometime for another event! Some links:

Well, that closes out our coverage of the event! But don't worry, we will have Misako's new magazine Gothic & Lolita Ensemble here in our physical store shortly (probably tomorrow!), so all you local Misako fans can have something new to look at.
