The eyes are the window to the world.

Things that we see are the things which we fancy. Here i am, starting up with my blog, to come across the things whichever i fancy, and would like to share with all my friends and online bloggers, whoever i come across. Be it fashion, or call it beauty, whatever i come across to be attracted to, i'll come up with that idea to blog up in here.

Wish me luck. Love Love to all. PEACE.

Grimoire, one of Tokyo’s most well-known vintage clothing boutiques and the heart of the Japanese Dolly Kei community, celebrated its third anniversary earlier this month. In addition to the Shibuya shop’s birthday, the Grimoire crew was also celebrating the successful launch of their recently opened store Grimoire Almadel. With so many things to celebrate, Grimoire did the only sensible thing – they threw a huge party! After all the fun we had at last year’s Grimoire party, we definitely weren’t going to miss this one. Before viewing the party pictures, though, you should check out the first part of our coverage where we followed the Grimoire crew to see the magic behind their amazing Dolly Kei hair styles. The Grimoire 3rd Anniversary Party was held at Chambres d’Hotes HANA in Aoyama. There was a live DJ, plenty of dancing, and lots and lots of amazing hair, makeup, and fashion. Guests were encouraged to dress up for the party, and some of them took that suggestion to the extreme. Dolly Kei parties are always full of beautifully put together vintage outfits, perfect makeup, and incredible hairstyles. That said, this Grimoire party went beyond the average Dolly Kei party, and reflected how much the subculture’s popularity (and influence) has grown in the three years since the shop first opened. Naturally, the fashion on display at the party was still heavily weighted toward vintage gowns. However, this year we saw more sexy outfits, a few increasingly gothic-influenced styles, and even a number of punks/skaters showing their support. If you’ve followed our coverage of Grimoire over the last few years, you already know that the shop is run by Naoaki Tobe and Hitomi Nomura. They were both on hand and, as you’d expect, dressed in amazing fashion. The other well-known Grimoire staff and friends – including Saki, Heri, and Kaori – were also in attendance. If you look through all of the pictures below, you’ll find a who’s who of Dolly Kei scene in Tokyo. No doubt you’ll recognize many people at the party from our street snaps, as well as from Japanese fashion magazines like FRUiTS and TUNE.
