SWEETIE PIE CAFE IN WEST VILLAGE WITH DOE DEERE, FOUNDER OF LIME CRIME MAKEUP & FASHION LIFESTYLE BLOGGER.
I met up with the lovely Doe Deere at Sweetie Pie restaurant in the West Village. She’s the founder of Lime Crime makeup and runs a charming blog with makeup tutorials, photo inspiration, advice and much more.
Doe and I have several friends in common — I went to Columbia University with her sister — and we hit it off instantly. Sartorially, we definitely have a lot in common! (My dress is Metamorphose temps de Fille. The sparkly studded beret is from Nile Perch, a Fairy Kei store in Laforet, Harajuku.)
The cafe was too cute for words. We sat in a metal birdcage and ate sweets fit for Marie Antoinette.
Doe is gorgeous and tiny in person. I can’t wait to try her lipsticks, which come in Mana-friendly colors such as pale blue and black. I tried the absinthe and champagne cocktail…
… and we both had the raspberry and rose petal “fool” (a sort of mousse). Mmm, my mouth is watering as I think of it!
Leather studded cuff: vintage Yohji Yamamoto
Kawaii teddy bear rings: from Nile Perch and MaruiOne Shinjuku
Doe and I will be celebrating Halloween together… stay tuned for more dressing up. You can find out more about her makeup line on her blog and Lime Crime website.
PS: I hope to see you at my NYC Cute Yummy Time book signing and demo!
October 31, 2-4pm, Broadway Panhandler, 65 E 8th St, NYC

Thomas says:That place looks amazing (as do both of you)! I'll have to cross the boarder from my usual East Village haunts and try it out! By the way CafeTasia is right across the street from your book signing, I just ate there last week, its got a pretty nice atmosphere with its tons of seemingly floating candles hanging form the ceiling, the food (pan-Asian) is pretty good, well priced, but its loud and crowded (it also has a unisex bathroom which is a plus for crossdressers like myself lol).
Just two more days! Sadly my parrot will not be joining the book signing lo

lacarmina says:Oooh I'll have to remember CafeTasia. Can't wait for the signing! I was playing Phoenix Wright and when he interrogated a parrot, I thought of you :P

Trashtastika says:She has fantastic great bright eye colours and lovely pale but opaque lip colours. I had a few things in my check-out basket and only just today sent the order off (before I saw this post)! No more bodypaint or lip pencil to get blue lips for me!! Maybe a pink one to match your hair would be nice on you :)
Ooh, and another kawaii blogger I've just discovered is http://violetlebeaux.blogspot.com/
I think you'll love her!

lacarmina says:Thank you! <3 I use a Japanese curling iron… it's a medium size and has a strong “clasp” for securing the strand of hair. I just do a small bunch at a time…
