From fashion to music; lolita to visual kei; classy to trendy; Mercy no more.Baby the Star Shines Bright Poodle Going Out Shoes
Want to go out with your poodle today? Baby the Stars Shine Bright’s new Poodle Going Out shoes will be the perfect match for you. These lovely shoes feature Baby’s logo embroidery on the right, and the cute little poodle on the left.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of poodle prints. They are just too 50’s for me. But I think putting the poodle on the shoes is not so bad. These shoes come in white, pink and black. I love the black one.

Swimmer keeping you warm for the winter
Finally the weather feel a little more like winter time, at least in California. But in Japan, there are already a lot of different products appear in the market to keep you warm. Since everyone is aware of eco-friendly items, the old-fashion hot water bottle become the trend of this year’s choice of personal heater. Hot water bottle is a rubber container that filled with hot water and sealed with a stopper. As ugly as it could be, Japanese finds a way to make it trendy. Swimmer has the hot water bottle with the cutest covers.
Besides hot water bottles, Swimmer also keeps you warm by having the loveliest knit pants. These knit pants are supposed to be wore under skirt, so you won’t catch a cold when you are wearing your mini-skirt outfit.
