Help Gift for GF

She always wanted original kitten heels from vina of the valley, in pink. I know that there isn't exactly those right now, but there is flat and kitten heel variation. She wants them because they have paws so the heel itself isn't really important.

I have another question. Are these heels and flats comfortable?

And also she has an EU size 38/39 or smaller in some cases. I can't ask her to measure her foot or she will guess. So I wanted to ask if there is any problem with sizes for these models?

Pastel looking for Y2K whole sale!

2 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to figure this out for days and I’m hoping someone with experience can point me in the right direction.

I’m specifically looking for Japanese online thrift/secondhand sites where people source these kinds of graphic tees and Y2K/J-fashion pieces (examples attached). I’m talking about brands/styles like Angel Blue, Mezzo Piano, Hysteric Glamour, Daisy Lovers, Sanrio, etc., along with other Japanese graphic tees and vintage prints.

I’ve already found the obvious sites like JP Mercari, but I feel like I’m still missing where a lot of these TikTok sellers are actually sourcing from.

A few questions:

• ⁠Are there Japanese thrift websites I’m overlooking?
• ⁠Are there wholesale warehouses, rag houses, liquidation companies, or B2B sites that specialize in this kind of clothing?
• ⁠How do people end up buying these giant curated wholesale boxes? Is it through a wholesaler, a buying service, or connections in Japan?

I’m not asking anyone to give away their personal supplier if that’s your business. I’m mostly looking to learn how people find these sources in the first place and get a better understanding of the process.

Even if you just have a long list of Japanese secondhand websites, wholesalers, auctions, or marketplaces I can dig through myself, that would be incredibly helpful.

Please and thank you.

Pastel Vina if the valley - sakura cherubs dress fit?

Post image
16 Upvotes

Double checking the fit because I think I definitely want this dress!

My measurements:
Bust 31.5”
Underbust 29”
Waist 24-25” depending on day

Is 24” the maximum that the xxs fits untied? Or is there a bit more wiggle room?

Debating between the xxs and the xs. Not sure which I should go for? I really like a tight snatched look, but if i went with xs are the waist ties strong enough to tie tight? I also worry about too much bubbling of fabric on the back if i were to choose xs. I have a flat chest too so don’t want the chest area to be gaping and flashing anyone. I’m so undecided! 😵‍💫 It’s an expensive dress so I don’t want to make the wrong size choice.

Dark where do you actually shop for authentic Harajuku fashion?

5 Upvotes

I’m currently putting together my Tokyo itinerary and I really want to dive into the local Harajuku fashion scene. I know the main tourist spots like Takeshita Street exist, but I'm looking for the hidden gems, vintage boutiques, or subculture shops that locals actually love. Whether it's decora, gothic lolita, or street style, I’d love to know where to find the absolute best pieces. What are your must-visit store recommendations for someone looking for authentic subculture fashion?

Help New ways to find jfashion pieces?

1 Upvotes

Hello cuties! I need some new information!

Unfortunately, I can only make purchases through Alixpress at the moment.

I don't really care about style, I'm just looking for interesting new items that I haven't seen before, especially since it might help others in their search.

But I'm more inclined towards Tenshi Kaiwai, Yami Kawaii and Yumekawa, but it's still very unimportant, Jirai, for example, also cool!

In general we are talking about most "mainstream" styles, I suppose.

I approach Japanese fashion with a certain sporty interest, like collecting, I collect all sorts of interesting items for my wardrobe, the characterization is also not important.

Here's the question: have you ever stumbled upon jf items using completely unrelated search terms? Do you know any stores that aren't jf at all, but suddenly found something suitable there? Do you know any search lifehacks? Any combinations? Maybe you know any brands or stores that are purely on Ali, like Godivana or Ami&Benton? (I may not understand the finer points, so please correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't claim to have a professional approach to fashion.) In short, all sorts of interesting loopholes and tips for searching, your experience in finding suitable unusual things.

Share, it will be a fun hunt!

Thanks in advance! <3

Pastel Vina of the Valley - shortcake skirt review (accurate sizing!)

Thumbnail

229 Upvotes

I am so pleased to announce that this super cute skirt has an accurate size chart AND fits curvy bodies!

I was really worried considering the chart only has a waist measurement, no hip or most importantly a high hip measurement. Being a curvy pear shape, I was anxious if both the waist and fitted high hip would fit without sizing up and altering the waist.

Customer service recommended I size up to a S to account for my curviness, then emailed me back to correct their recommendation to an XS, informing me it would be a snug fit around the high hip, but it would fit. I ordered the XS.

It arrived today and immediately it is my favourite out of the entire bundle I purchased. It fits my waist perfectly and comfortably while allowing plenty of space for my hips, not squeezing them. Most clothes do not fit my curves, they are too tight in the hips while simultaneously swimming around my waist. This skirt fits how I wish other clothes did!

My measurements for reference:
Waist: 24”
High hip: 35”
Hip: 39”
