Baby the Stars Shine Bright - Sentimental Circus Collaboration
Reserve date starts February 14th. Happy Valentine’s Day. ;)
7th February 2014
Notes: 41
Hi :) You’ve probably seen by now on the website, but the release date is 9th February. I have one spot free at this point. (^_^)
Hmm, personal thoughts. (.﹒︣︿﹒︣.)
I like the colours. They remind me of Musee du Chocolat, very demure and chocolate-y (as you’d expect). I also like thick fabrics so that’s a point in its favour for sure. The swatches are thicker than Musee and go more towards Melty Royal Chocolate style, but with a different texture. The gold on brown looks amazing too. However, the cuts aren’t particularly interesting. It’s a shame they made only a couple of designs. I’m not taken with it personally. I would be tempted if the JSK was a different design.
Sorry for the slow reply. They don’t currently have them in stock, but they can be ordered via the online kera shop and through Atelier Pierrot. :)
Triple fortune’s gorgeous new Spring line! I got this leaflet from Atelier Pierrot. These are the only bonnets available for purchase at this time according to the Tokyo stores.

Surprise series from Angelic Pretty - Royal Creamy Chocolate
I’ve seen the swatches in stores. The material seems to be a thick, heavy cotton. Available colours are ivory, mocha, pink and brown. The release date is unconfirmed. Perhaps this weekend (February 8th)?
This is an announcement to say the Wishlist System is temporarily closed. Unfortunately, due to an overload of requests and orders, I cannot accept anymore wishlist requests at this time. However, I am working on ways to improve my system and make it more efficient, so hopefully I will be able to accept requests again in the near future. Thank you for your understanding!

So my SwanKiss Fukubukuro arrived today, and I thought I would talk a little about it due to some curious cuties <3
Firstly, I used Tokyo Pirates Shopping Service. This shopping service is run by a very sweet girl names Jamie. I managed to shoot her a quick e-mail, and had a reply within 24 hours. I was very committed and interested in this lucky bag, so after she sent me an invoice through pay-pal I paid immediately. This was also due to the short amount of time between when I placed my order and when the lucky bags were being sold.
Jamie was blessed by the fukubukuro gods, and lucky enough to score me the exact bag I was pining for! This is of course the bag pictured above, SwanKiss’s 21,000 yen Angel Bag.
The Lucky Bag is made up of,
A Large Pink Faux Fur travel bag, because you’ve got to travel in style
A white lace top, stretchy and complete with invisible back sipper
An icy purple salopette, or overall skirt, complete with snowflake buttons
An adjustable faux pearl bow belt
An ultra cozy white lace and knit long sleeved dress
and of course my all time favorite ‘Lady of the Night’ cream faux fur jacket, detailed with heart front pockets, and removable mis match button pins.
Now I did see photos of the items on the SwanKiss blog, but I was surprised at the craft in detail! They are all very sturdy, lined, and made with very high quality fabrics (no itchy lace <3) Everything is very cute, very creamy and pastel, which is what I do.
It was an interesting lucky bag for me this year! Especially since this is my first name shopping from SwanKiss.
In conclusion, I would purchase from SwanKiss again, I adore their quality and style, although watch out for length if you’re a tall girl!
I would also use Jamie Shopping Services again! She was great to work with, sweet, fast, and got my Angel Bag. I definitely recommend her!
A kind review from kittytimeagain. Thank you so much! (^_^) I’m so happy that you like your lucky pack.

The Tokyo Pirates terms and conditions have been updated. Please be sure to read through them before making an order (sorry that it’s pretty long). The main changes are highlighted below:
- Due to an increasing number of orders (thank you everyone!) replies will be within 24-48 hours from now on. I will still aim to reply within 24, but it is not always possible during busy periods. If your email is urgent (e.g. an auction ending within 48 hours, a sudden Closet Child item appearing or anything that will sell out very soon), then please mark your subject title urgent and I will make it a priority to read and reply to it first.
- Shipping days will be every Monday (or Tuesday if it’s a national holiday/other delays). 200 yen will automatically be added onto your total for shipping in order to cover packaging and handling costs.
- The shopping service will not operate on Sundays. This will be my day off, so emails will not be replied to nor orders processed (including invoicing, notifications, packaging, shipping, etc.) until the following day. The only orders that will be considered (emphasis on considered) will be Closet Child emergency in-store requests. Releases that have been pre-booked before knowing the release date will of course be honoured should they fall on a Sunday. However, any items bought on this day will not be shipped until the Monday after next (approx. 1 week after). This is to give me a day off because I haven’t taken one since October. xD
Commission fees remain the same and are as follows:
2000 yen for orders under 8000 yen
3000 yen for orders over 8000 yen
4000 yen for orders over 35000 yen
5000 yen for orders over 80,000 yen
For orders above 100,000 yen, please email me for a quote at contact@tokyopirates.com
Online fees are a flat fee of:
500 yen for orders under 5,000 yen
1,000 yen for orders over 5,000 yen
2,000 yen for orders over 25,000 yen
2,500 yen for orders over 50,000 yen
3,000 yen for orders over 80,000 yen
I am now able to accept orders for auctions on Yahoo!Japan and mbok. However, to start with there will be a cap of 1 customer per day. This is because auctions require a lot more care, organization, administration and correspondence. I want to keep the shopping service effective and efficient. Should I feel I can handle more it may change in future. Auction fees are the same as online order fees, but every auction will be considered a separate SS because of the increased work and time required.
Add 500 yen to a regular online purchase for snipe bids within business hours (9am to 7pm)
Add 800 yen for snipe bids outside of business hours (before 9 am or after 7pm)
Flat fee of 4000 yen for snipe bids after midnight or before 6am (I will operate a 24-hour service, but each request will be subject to consideration).
That’s it for the main changes. If you have any questions you can email me at contact@tokyopirates.com
Thank you for being totally awesome and reading everything. Have a dinosaur for your trouble because…dinosaurs!
