Fairy Kei is in my head… and ON my head, my fingers, my whole body! How I love the Japanese street style pioneered by the Spank! girls. It’s 1980s-nostalgic, pastel-pink-polka-dotted, Care Bears meets My Little Pony (check out more photos in my previous post).

On my feet, my feet! Every good Goth needs a pair of Mary Janes; I highly recommend London Underground’s Bread n’ Honey shoes. Check out the solid leather, decorated heel, and three (yes, three!) buckled straps. Beautifully constructed and pain-free – and a steal at $100.

And you can wear them with anything – like leopard print tights and a terry-cloth Popples dress! I nabbed the dress for $12 from a Harajuku stall. Does anyone remember these pastel pom-pom pouch characters from the 1980s? I think I owned a Popples plush…

Come drool over cutting-edge yet well-constructed footwear on the London Underground Shoes website. You’ll be seeing more of this brand as we collaborate… And check my site tomorrow for Fairy Kei photos from Harajuku!

PS: someone asked if it was okay to add me on my Twitter. It’s more than okay – I encourage you to follow me and I’ll do my best to reply to messages! I usually Tweet links to music, quotes, inspiration, and various Gothic/J-pop oddities. No annoying “I’m flossing my teeth” updates, promise.
