~✩ʚThe Crystal Dream Carnival LOVEɞ✩~

I think, it's the dress we've all waited for. Or still waiting for?

Are you waiting for the headbow too, like me?
I've got the Tiered JSK like in the last second. I've written to my SS as soon as I knewn on wich date you could do a reservation. But she wasn't home and replied only a night before the reservation starts!!!
The fact were that she already has to buy the Crystal Dream Carnival for two other persons, and if you know the rules of AP's new releases, you know, that they're only selling two main pieces in total to one person only. She has to wait a second time at the release day, for buying the Tiered JSK for me.
I haven't expcet anything, of course not that she got the most wanted piece together with the headbow. I was so happy that morning as I saw her positive mail in my box ^_____^


I've written to her, that it doesn't matter with colorway she will get, as long as she will get the Tiered JSK version with the matching headbow. And now, I'm really, really happy to say, that I got it in pink. I really like it in that colorway, because the main part of the print is popping out of the dress on it. Of course I really like the navy and lavender version too. But I like pink anyway, and the did a good job on it I think.
Did you already recieved your dress? I decided to wait for the headbow, until my SS will ship it out.

 I can't wait to recieve mine, unpack it, touch it, iron it, try it on.
But well. I don't want to pay the shipping fee twice.


















I was even able to get some other Crystal Dream Carnival Accessories... and still want some more, because I really love this series.

I really love the OTK design. But I'm sure that they won't fit, because of the subtile golden harlequin pattern. Pretty sure that they're a little to tight for my legs. u___u

But I will try my luck. I will have some other pink socks wich I can wear with the JSK. My socks-collection is really big in my eyes...

My wristcuffs addiction done it again. Well, it's wonderful to buy a 'complete set'. And I think I can wear these beauties with some of my other dresses, or future pieces too.
 Isn't this golden lace adorable?

Yes, I got the brooch in lavender. I wanted it so much in this colorway. Don't you think that would match perfectly because of the blueish main print at the bottom?
And of course I want to use it for other coords ^____^

The golden pegasus ring. I really love this simple, very cute design. Gold is my favourite colorway, of this design. And it's one of the few AP rings, who are adjustable. And wearable for other dresses and fashion styles.

















Well, a thing I bought too, but isn't from this series or even something to wear:

The AP summer collection of the year. I'm excited to take a look in it, because it's my very first real catalogue from Angelic Pretty.

I would be just happy to have it. Even if I can't get any other piece or will know all the summer piece if I recieve it. 

There are even thing from the CDC series I still like to buy, like the matching bag in lavender, or the matching bonnet in pink... or the new Logo design ring and necklace from past saturday.

But well, I think I've spend enough money atm.

All the items from this series looking really sepecial and detailed. I think it's worth all the money. They put a lot of effort in everything.

Bonus: 

 

The Imai Kira Card artwork. I really, really like it! She's always making the best illustrations♥♥♥

.∗̥✩ʚMeltyWish @ the Dokomi 2014ɞ✩∗̥ .

Hello everyone after a long time!

I know that I missed blogging atm, and I really feel sorry, but... well, I'm pretty busy and working hard on... EVERYWTHING.
But well, I think the most important & interesting things I could blog about, are the conventions I'm visiting and working. I just love conventions, you too?
At the first weekend of June, 7.6.14 & 8.6.14 was the Dokomi! For me personally, it's always the most wonderful convention. I love the booths, the city Düsseldorf and all the japanese stuff.
This time, they even made a 'Fashion Area' at this con, and all pretty lolitas where at one place. So much beauty!!!

But well, let's start with the informations how I started into the convention:

I've worked very hard for this con, because I wanted to have the greatest stuff for all the lovelies who wanted to come. I've opened an Facebook Event and it exploded! All the invitations I've written were a number over 200, and in the end, there entered over 800 people! And I was chatting with many cuties I mostly see only once or twice a year, and they promised they want to come over too. You see, I was pretty excited.

I started my journey to Düsseldorf at the friday morning before. My usual night shift, I've done over night were.... pretty long... longer as usual. I've worked until 5.00 o'clock in the mornin and even thought about not going to sleep, but I've done it anyway, because we only need to took a train around lunch time.
Stand up three hours later for making me ready, eating breakfast & packing my luggage.
At the train station I've waited for my friend MoonDrops who was that friendly helping me the whole weekend♥
Thank you so much again♥♥♥

My newest Babies, Sweetie Violet JSK & Candy Treat Colorful Ribbon Special JSK are packed in♥ Ready for a pink weekend *hihi*
Our travel were very easy unless of a VERY VERY unfriendly & rude old man, who sat with us for only two stations <_____<'
Don't want to waste more words for any explaination about a man like this. So aweful!!!

We arrived at Düsseldorf a little later than planned, but with a good mood. Found our hotel easily and were surprised how good it was! We will definitely recommend Metropol Rooms & of course the awesome greek pastry shop! I was like in a culture heaven! In my home country, sleeping in greek rooms, sourrounded by greek specialities and people, next to the japanese part of the city, going to my favourite convention. It was so perfect! 

After bringing our trunks with the clothes etc. upstairs and refreshed ourself, we're going to the 'Congress Zentrum' where the convention were planned to build uo the MeltyWish booth. It was the very first time to me, to build the booth a day before the event starts. Everything were so easy to me! Such a calm working day. Exhausting, but very calm, with enough time to sleep.

I've took a photo of the finished booth with my mobile phone:

After leaving the building, we strolled around in the japanese street, searching for a jap. restaurant for dinner. Met my friends Maria from Caffecupcake & Momo from Sweet Ticket at the half way and talked aboud a half an hour ^___^
We decided to eat at the REALLY authentic restaurant TAKUMI. It was so delicious! We've eaten booth a different kind of donburi and I had Takoyaki as appetizer, Moony her very first Onigiri.
It was so hot that we were sitting outside after the sunset.

SATURDAY:
The next day, we stand up at around 5.00 o'clock and made us ready. I was wearing my dearest Sweetie Violet the first time, and  was sooooo happy with it! I love love LOVE this dress so much! And it's prefect for hot summer days!!! It's so light weight and airy... and I changed the place of the shoulder strap button, it's now 4cm longer than before and fits me even more perfectly ♥♥♥

I've prepared many of my Rose Crowns because they were very popular at any event I was. And sold the very first horned ones!

The designs are called:

-> Unicorn Princess
-> Natsu No Yokai
-> Rosy Devil

All the horned Rose Crowns are nearly sold out.


Come to an other booth, I really liked!

Ergi by Piratessan

These are the both shopowners who came the long way from sweden to sell hier wonderful items♥
I shopped some accessoires and love every piece! And they offer everything for effortable prices and have a wonderful selection of Innocent World, Baroque, Lief, chocomint and more♥
I can dearly recommend thier online shop too. Fast & cheap shipping in europe!!!
(A review will come too)



Met many pretty girls, the Dokomi is a bit famous for Lolitas because the official German Lolita community Dunkelsüß is always there and is making a fashion show too. Every year I got asked for join the walk... but I just have too much to do for it... even if I'm mostly able to see the show.^__^'

This time, they choosed the topic 'Fairy Tale'. It was the best fashion show they made, I think ^___^
And inspirational too♥
I couldn't take good photos, because I was sitting in the middle... see?

But you can watch the Dünkelsüß Fashion Show on Youtube:

Some cuties & beautiful customers:

And I met Sui again♥ She is so beautifuuuuuul♥

I talked to her and she choosed one of my MeltyWish chockers to make a review for me. She's such a very  friendly person. I also gave her one of the 'Tiny Galaxy' rings, too.
The review will be posted this sunday. Please have a look♥






After they closed the booth & activity parts of the Convention at around 8.00pm, Moony & me were very tired. The heat and well, the work exhausted us.
We went back to the streets near our hotel, and orderd some dinner at TAKUMI again to take away and eat everything in our hotel room.
Everything we wanted was to cover us in our pyjama's and eating at the bed. *haha*

SUNDAY :
I was like the same as at the morning before, we stand up around 30min. later, but well, we made us ready.
We were a little bit done from saturday, but I was also full of energy for the next convention part *hihi*

.∗̥✩ʚMeltyWish @ the MCC/LBM 2014ɞ✩∗̥ .

Hello everyone♥

I'm really sorry, that it takes me so long, to finish this entry, about this convention. But the whole march was/is so full of work and stuff, that I wasn't able to take enough time for it. Even my little freetime were spend in other cities or with friends, and I wasn't even one day, where I was going to bed in a normaly kind of time (before 0.00 o'clock).

To say is clear: the march were a pretty hard month for me, but also a very good one, even successful, I think. I have done so many things that I don't know how to start to explain. But well, this entry is only for the Manga-Comic-Convention, wich is a part of the Leipziger Buchmesse (bookfair).
It's the first time, that they made an kind of an own convention part of it. Usually we have an half of a fair-hall for manga & comics, and other stuff (mostly japan based).
But after years of a dengerously full filled hall with fans of the japanese sub cultures, they thought 'let's start with a lager project'. And so it goes on, that it's a way more official for us, and we even got extra tickets and got invited to special exhibitior things. They even made a 'Maid Café' in the hall, and invited us to a 'Happy Our' only for the exhibitiors of this 'project'. And I really, really, REALLY hope, that they will stay with this opinion of an own hall for us, because it was still a super full part of the fair. I got a mail some days after the con, where they written us a big thank you and noticed that our hall only, is including nearly a half of the visitors from this fair (about 31.000 only of ourselves).

Okay, I think this is enough info for the start of this post ^___^

Let's start with some pictures♥

The dresses I was wearing:

From left to right, I was wearing my Emelina JSK by Innocent World on thursday. My Candy Sprinkle by Angelic Pretty on friday. My Day Dream Carnival Tired JSK on saturday, and my Glass Bottle Of Tears on sunday.

Headbow: Ribbonlicious

The fist day, I got filmed & interviewed three times by TV stuff. I just don't know why there are coming up to me, because the official german lolita community, Dunkelsüß, was also there with so super pretty & awesome girls... I really don't know why they wanted me, but well, I was pretty happy to get noticed more and more with my small MeltyWish booth.
I was pretty happy that I my booth was near to the one from Dunkelsüß, and my booth neighbors were also lovely persons.

 The first day, my booth were still full of pretty kawaii items. But even at only this day, some series got already sold out! I was happy that a lot of my beautiful regular customers came up the first day, to save thier favourites first ^___^
It was nice to meet you all, as always♥

Between 4.00~5.00pm, the sun comes through the wondows, and shines right on my booth, and all was shining and glittering♥
So I've took a minute to take some photos with my cell phone ^___^

The first day of the con were pretty exhausting to me, I just felt super tired after leaving the building. I think my brain just need this day, to become faster, because I need to calculate and explain a lot at one day. And it was the first con after about 2 months, and I was going to bed at 3am in the morining the whole week before.


After coming back to the pretty home, where I lived over the five days, I just ate a little, told something from the con, to one of the most wonderful mother's I ever met in my life, wait for bathing time, and gone to bed.

The second day, were a little like the day before, just a way fuller, and I wasn't getting interviewed. But! Some people came up to my booth by screaming: 'I saw you on TV yesterday night'.....
well, this kind of reactions are overwehlming for me. I just can't handle with it. I'm just a girl who's making accessories and like & wear kawaii stuff. A human. Please treat me like that ^___^'

And I was pretty happy to wear my Lucky Pack dress that day, and of course these wonderful 'Colorful Sherbet' socks, I finally got! They are one of my most wanted OTK, ever. I never thought that I would get them any day, because these series are pretty old and popular.

After the convention ends at 6.00 o'clock, I went to the Maid Café 'happy hour' with my booth neighbors and got somethink to drink and a pretzel for free by talking to other very nice exhibitiors.

At saturday morning, I bought the matching lavender DDC Wristcuffs from the Judith. She was wearing her DDC too, but she liked it more in a classic kind of way and doesn't need them anymore. And this was making me pretty happy, even if they cost me a lot. I wouldn't get them cheaper anywhere.
I already own the pink x sax ones, and love to wear them with this lavender JSK, because the colors repeating in the print, but well... lavender, my all time favourite love♥ I can't resist.
Soli, Judith & me went to the train station. Ramona was that friendly to drive us, because it started raining in the morning, and that was just dangerours for Solis white Shironuri Makeup. 

Since saturday is always the 'hardest' convention day, I was mentally prepared for a lot of people and a long time for work. And I was just right. I was so happy that day. Meeting a lot of pretty, lovely girls and friends♥
I love to talk to everybody and got a lot of compliments...and got photographed so often.. okay, I got photographed the whole four days.. but saturday is still the most!

Also, Julia came over for some minutes to sit with me, and we just took a selfie together~

I'm such a derpy girl...


















Pretty-Customer-Time

This lovely girl visited me from friday to sunday by wearing an other AP dress daily. And she bought some accessories,sit & talk with me everyday too. It was pretty nice to met her.
I'm really sorry that I wasn't able to take a picture with all pretty girls. I loved to talk to all of you ♥

This lovely lady is Yukirin. I really love her coord she was wearing and do you see, that we're twinning with our shoes? *hihi*

The lovely and super friendly Aya took some photos with me and of me. I was really happy to met her finally. She's such a pretty person, and even helped me out a little and sit with me at the booth. Thank you so much dearie♥
I hope we can met us again^____^

I even met Mai and more of my dearest friends who I wasn't able to met for a while. She took a very nice photo of my Saturday's coord♥
Thanks a lot~




















The problem wit saturday was, that the official  convention ends at 6.00pm but there were showact until 9.00pm. And the security haven't done a good job on it, to split the visitors in the right order. We couldn't leave our booth's for over an hour, because there where still people walking at the wrong places.
And I wanted to go eating with the girls from Dunkelsüß,... but we were only able to meet later in the city for that. We met us around 8.30~9.00pm at the train station for going to a chinese restaurant together.
I've spend the time between with the other exhibitors and going to starbucks for having a good coffee.
It was really nice to met them and talk with all the lovelies. I really hope to meet them again any day♥
Sandra, Gina, Calliope, Nora and Jasmin are so damn pretty with such a cute personality*__*
Even if we spend only a short time together, I've really enjoyed it.


-SUNDAY-

4. Glass Bottle Of Tears - Angelic Pretty

Roundown:

Wig: Lockshop
Headbow: Angelic Pretty
Bolero: Metamorphose temps de fillé
JSK: Angelic Pretty
OTK: Angelic Pretty
Shoes: Secret Shop












I was pretty happy to go out in my beloved Glass Bottle Of Tears. I was only able to wear it for shopping with my dear Robin, but not to a convention ^____^
I choose this dress for the sunday, because I already got it with stains (if you don't knoe where they are, you don't see them), and it's the day where I have to go back home, so... It doesn't hurt me as much as if I would wear my DDC for example, if I'm travelling, packing, having stress in it.
To be honest: I don't want to harm any of my precious dresses, but because of the stains, even if they're super small and slightly visible, it's not so hard for me.

A close up, before leaving the house from Soli's mum.
I really, really love my Eternal Party bow, it's so comfy, cute and princessy♥

I said goodbye to Ramona, who's the momy, I really start to like. She's a wonderful person. And i even think, she likes me too. She even said that I can come back, whenever I want ♥ So cute!
I gave her a real silver necklace and a self made plum jam as a present and to thank her.








That day, I was like selling the rest of my creations.  Many MeltyWish items are even sold out after the first day! I was surprised how many girls came up serching a special design wich they found online at the facebook page or taking thier reservations.
At the sunday, even the last 3 of my Rose Crowns getting sold out... and other stuff too. My whole 'Melty Galaxy Ice Cream' collection were sold out until the last ring I made. I think there is a lot of stuff I need to make a rerelease from.
And thanks a lot for all your requests after the convention! I'm really sorry that I wasn't able to answear for about two weeks after. Please forgive me u___u'

Anyway, sunday were a fun-day to me. My parents also came to the fair, and to our hall to visit my booth. I had some minutes to spend with my daddy to walk around any buy some stuff I wanted. My mum even took a photo of the precious Dunkelsüß girls, wich I wished the whole weekend long! I'm sad that I wasn't able to take a group picture on each day. Thier outfits are just amazing♥

Just, the cutie Nora is missing here, she was...somewhere else, I can't remember what the other girls said. But I've took an extra photo of her, from her amazing outfit.
AND yes, there is also a pretty aristocrat guy! His name is Stefan and he came up from far away Bayern! It was very nice to meet him, even if he has a very stong accent, I understand him, and well, he's very kind and have a cute personality♥

Isn't this black AP outfit stunning? I really love Noras coords to pieces♥

 Sandra & Gina again♥
Sandra is one of the authors who worked on the 'Shades Of Wonderland' a really, really big book about Lolita fashion, full with interviews, photos & stuff. Even with parts about the japanese designers and popular lolitas from all over the world.

Gina, Gina Wetzel, the amazing illustrator, model, and designer. I was super happy that I finally met her! She's like an idol for me, I really love her work and well.. she is one of the most beautiful womens I've ever saw in my life! Her compliments to my MeltyWish creations and outfits I wore are super special to me. Thank you so much Gina♥ And have a look at her  -> Dawanda Shop <-

Of course I took some photos of the Dunkelsüß booth too~

At thier booth you could buy items from Vannillas Traumfabrik, Merry Me, Li-Paro, Black Unicorn etc.
I choose the 'Shades Of Wonderland' book, wich I got signed from all the pretty ladies & Stefan. And a beautiful poster from one of Gina's illustration♥








Some more customers with wonderful outfits came up to me, and I took the time, to take photos together.

The always pretty Cynthia came up about two or three times to me with her boyfriend Marc, and in the end, Paul was taking some photos of us ^___^ Thank you♥

This pretty girl came up to me all four days, she bought her items already on thursday, but she was very nice and we talked a lot about lolita.
I enjoyed it a lot^___~

I remembered this beautiful girl from last years lolita meet where she was wearing her Sugary Carnival. We talked shortly and I was right! She is always coming up to the fair from Austria! Amazing^___^ I think this con is a very important thing for her.
I hope I will see her again next year♥

These group came up more than two times on saturday and sunday. Do you see, that the one in the pink & black dress is already wearing some starry MeltyWish clips in her blonde hair? 

 Okay, for coming to the end, some last pictures of my booth, I took with my EOS~

At the end, I said good bye to all the wonderful booth neighbors, after packing all stuff together and drive home with my parents by car. I have to thank them a lot for that. I was so tired and exhausted that I've slept nearly the whole way home (about 3h).

The next entry is about my haul from the MCC / LBM. Because I think, this entry is full enough @___@

See you next time♥

Thank you for reading (and waiting)

Love Liz♥
