GRAMM COLLECTION FROM S-INC, H.NAOTO. ROCOCO GOTH RETRO COUTURE, FADED ASYMMETRICAL LACE PASTEL GARMENTS AT MARUIONE, ロリータ・ファッション.
The MaruiOne summer sale is still on. Today, I got a short Marble jacket with ridiculous poofy sleeves, straight out of Interview with the Vampire. Marked down from $130 to $100 – not bad!
I’m intrigued by Gramm, a new brand from S-inc (the company that produces h.NAOTO) found on the sixth floor. It reminds me of a passage from Graham Greene’s Ministry of Fear… the protagonist visits a church fair, and there are trunks of antique clothing for sale – faded, moth-eaten and lace-laden garments from the 1800s.
Gramm reproduces the “grandma’s attic” look with a nod to Japanese Lolita. I love the metal buttons, the deconstructed and trailing pieces…
This pink and white high-waisted Gramm skirt is currently 50% off at Marui! (I think it retails for around $130.) You can see more of this new brand on the S-inc website.
I’ve been picking up kawaii knick-knacks… ridiculous Swimmer pens with giant cute heads, Doraemon band-aids, nail stick-on art. San-X’s brown bear Rilakkuma is one of my favorite characters… how about you? (You can find Rilakkuma goodies like the ones above on J-List.)

The old lacey garments remind me of a skirt i just bought from flutterbydaisy. I love the look of the button up top.

Very cute!
I love tare panda and sugar bunnies, but I've got way too many plush toys for a gal my age! My friends have commented – “It's scary!” haha
I love love love Gramm! It suits my aesthetic to a Z! There is a brand quite similar, and I believe they're either from the US or Europe (can't remember), they are called Gibbous. They're actually on myspace, I think fans of Gramm would really love them!
Also, you mentioned nail art and on the back of a magazine I saw nail pens by Sally Hansen to be used to create designs easily. I'm really interested in trying them out!
I really like the look of Gramm (the whole attic-y thing), but I don't think it's something I would personally wear.
Rilakkuma is one of my favorites too! I also like NyanNyanNyanko.

Oooh, thanks – I’ll have to look up Gibbous!
I saw those exact same nail pens hahah. In fact, I sent the company an email about it but they haven’t replied. Boo to big company form letters.

I think that might have been Gramm’s problem… it looks amazing but I don’t think it’s selling too well. Almost all the pieces are half off at the Marui sale.
I NEED some stuuf from Gramm for my repetoire ! Hauntingly gorg !
I kinda like the Gramm stuff :surprised:
and yay for random kawaii goodies ^-^
Kawaii a day keeps the frowns away!

Gramm is probably the most interesting line by H.Naoto, at least to me XD
And what do you think? ;)

aww, have the cutest Rilakkuma cell phone charm and glass cup. Bought them at the Kinokuniya Bookstore while I was in New York. I love them, they are cuter than cute.
Nice! Kinokuniya is one of my favorite places to shop in NYC! Some photos from a previous event – https://lacarmina.com/2008/02/kinokuniy…
