As some of you guys might know, I'm going through some SERIOUS life changes right now! My husband and I just bought a house, so we've been trying to move in (yay, but seriously, so stressful!) and if you follow me on instagram (@a_fashion_files), then you've already seen photos of my new little pug, Yurii. (Don't worry, he'll get a feature on my blog soon!) On top of that, I also just got a new car (the same weekend we were moving!) and found out that Kawaii Kitsch got accepted into the Unique LA show at the beginning of December (so, so excited!!! but I need to make more inventory!) These are all such positive changes but I'm so overwhelmed...to the point where I didn't even celebrate MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY EVER (I know, I know, but I will always consider Halloween a holiday!).
I am going to try to dress up Yurii tonight and post some instagram photos though, so stay tuned for that! :)
So, I apologize for late responses, etc. I hope you understand...life is a bit crazy right now..but definitely in a good way...and I will be back on track ASAP. In the meantime, I hope you guys enjoy some photos from some past Halloweens! :)

Any guesses at all as to what I was this year?
I should probably just tell you guys- my husband is so not into Halloween- every year I have to beg him to give me costume ideas. One year he came to me and said he wanted to be a bottle of mustard. I about squirted ketchup on him ;)
One year, my husband was sooo excited about his outfit. He wanted to be a UPS man (he is funny, I know). You can't tell from this photo, but I painted the UPS logo on his costume and even his socks. He was so excited about it that he put on his socks before they were dry and stretched out the logo....they had to be redone.
This has to be my favorite Halloween costume EVER because I bought it in Harajuku when my sister and I were in Tokyo. I was so obsessed with the fashion there and had to bring home a lolita costume.
This is another favorite, because after I had the "sweet lolita" costume, I decided I wanted to try a "goth lolita" look and had this dress custom made from a lolita shop in Japan.
Lastly, I have to share my husband's pumpkin from last year- Hello Kitty nonetheless.
I hope you all have a great Halloween! What are your plans?

ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween :)
I really love the Goth Lolita look ! I know how stressful it is to move house, I have done that myself two times in a year. My husband and I bought our own house 4 years back but we could stay there only for 6 months as my husband's job transfer was announced at that time.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely day !
OMG I couldn't imagine doing it 2x in one year! Wow, that gives me hope! ;)
DeleteAhh, a hello kitty pumpkin, why didn't I ever think of that!? Love all your costumes! Yay for all the good things going on in your life, I can't wait to hear more about everything! :)

ReplyDeleteaww thanks! that's really kind of you! :)
DeleteAlrighty miss, what is a lolita? Am I so behind the times to not know what that is? Regardless you are super cute in both of them, but I'd have to say the goth is my personal fav :)
ReplyDeletehaha! You are so cute! Lolita-style is a super awesome form of fashion mostly worn in Tokyo- like crazy in the Harajuku district. The best way to picture it would be to think of "Little Bow Peep" or a baby doll and that's pretty much the look to go for. It's all about kawaii if you're a sweet lolita and goth if you're a gothica lolita. If any of this makes any sense at all! :)
Deleteawesome lolita costume!
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend

I'm so excited for all of the crazy and amazing opportunities that you've worked hard for! Your husband is funny, I wouldn't have though of a UPS man, that's a good one, lol. I usually just grab a few things out of my closet and come up with something, but I can't wait to see what your outfit looks like this year.
