Announcing a cute hair accessories giveaway, courtesy Sproos Shop! Read on for the easy instructions…

Sproos sent me a selection of big hair bows and barrettes, which clip on easily and stay in place. They’re a fun, visual way to instantly doll up your hair. Perfect for summer — and turning heads!

I’m in love with the sunglasses that Lumete sent me. The New York-based company creates unique designs, ideal for alternative fashionistas (Dita Von Teese is a fan). These Oummaa Black Cherry frames have serpentine silver etching and Swarovski crystals on the sides.

Heart sweater top: from a fashion mall in Mongkok, Hong Kong
Gothic rose skirt: Spider, a Lolita shop in Hong Kong
Pattern tights: from Hong Kong
Spooky crochet purse: h.NAOTO, from Closet Child in Tokyo
Shoes: John Fluevog

My leopard print bow matches my baby lion, Basil Farrow. (Note my black and white striped nail art.)

Song of the Day: Taiji Sawada at X Japan’s last live. (RIP to the former X Japan and Loudness bassist, who passed away yesterday. He was recently unruly on a plane and tried to hang himself in a Saipan jail cell. I spoke to someone close to him, who said people had been worried about him… Taiji shall be remembered.)
