How to find real (authentic) Liz lisa?

Hi there^^!

Today, I want to discuss about fake Liz lisa products.

I visited Kim Dao's blog(http://www.kimdaoblog.com/), and watched a video that reviews some of the products from Liz lisa.

I really enjoyed watching the video, and the Liz lisa 2011 Spring collection dress was so beautiful, that I wanted to have one as well.
And the searching began, and I wondered why there were so many places that sells this dress. Since this dress came out in the year of 2011 as one of the Spring collection,
I thought this dress should be rare item!

The first place where I found this dress was: http://sweetgyarushop.com/.
When I asked them, they told me they still have this dress,
and it's 100% authentic.

But since their shop was from China, I could not fully trust them, as being a
customer. It might be a Korean things to believe in, but, I don't trust
Chinese seller that much.
And surprisingly, I figured out that the clothing what the sweet gyaru shop has isn't real.
It's originally from Taobao (a chinese site). All of the things that taobao sells
is fake, and it's low quality.

The second place where I found this dress was ebay.
There were several sellers selling the dresses.
When I asked them that whether the dress was authentic or not,
all the sellers answered me "YES."
I trusted the seller on ebay, and paid $39.99 for the dress.
After a week later, I received dress in Korea (I had to pay extra to ship to Korea),
and when I opened, I was so surprised.
The dress was so much different from the picture, and I could tell the dress wasn't
authentic. I guess it was a scam.

A recommendation for those of the people who are looking forward to get
Liz lisa dress:

1. Purchase it through Japan Yahoo auction.

-This might be hard, since it's hard to join (It requires you to have Japanese address in order to join). But you could ask a friend or family to purchase it for you,
and also, if you go to google, and search for "Japan Yahoo Auction," there should be
some sites(company), that would help you to purchase the product.

-Even it's a little difficult to use Japan yahoo auction, it is the most safest way to get authentic(real) Liz lisa clothing.

Bad: If there is a good part, there is a bad part as well.
The bad part is that, the exchange rate of Yen(Japanese money) is really high right now.
I'm Korean(as I introduced before), and 1,500Won(money in Korea, 1,000won is $1) is equal to 100 yen in Japan. So for me, if I want to buy about 9,000 yen Liz lisa
authentic dress, I have to pay about $135.
It had been like this for last 4years. So you have to watch out the price of the product that you are thinking to get.

Also, the radiation all over the Japan (especially in Tokyo area) right now.
People says that the radiation on the clothing is washable, but I think
it's not really safe to buy products from Japan at.


2. Purchase it from know person's personal shop, or blog

-I guess blog is the one of the most easiest method to use when you make a deal.
I'm not saying that all the blogger is believable, but if the blog is good(has lots of people come and going, good postings, old), then you could trust the blog.
Like me, I have a blog in Korea as well. As a blogger, sometimes I like to sell
some stuffs throughout the blog, and sometimes I visit other known blogs to find
things to buy. Especially, if the blogger posted their pictures on the blog, the chances are most likely to be "safe."

Bad: Sometimes the seller does not tell the truth, and sells damaged, or completely different items. So you must watch out for this, and to prevent a scam, I strongly
recommend to use Paypal.


I think these are two that I came up so far.
Thank you for reading, and visiting my blog!

"Vintage" often described as "used," "old," and "dirty."

It is true that "vintage" is the title for a "aged" things.

But however, a value of "aged things" can be greater than a value of "new things."

Like a machine like the computers, or cameras,

since the technology develops day by days,

newer computers and cameras are much better than the ones that were made in

the pasts.

But like a clothing or an art pieces, the "time" and "technology" don't give any

impacts on the fashion and art.


Reason #1.

-Fashion is a cycle that repeats over time, since they are "limited."
It might sound like awful, and wrong to you, but,
even it feels like there are multiple types of clothing are out there,
It is limited, and people always pulls out the designs from the past centuries
after awhile.

Reason #2.
-Art is like a "memory."
People ages, and as they gets aged, they changes their thoughts,
while their appearance change.
"Art can be copied by the others," but, they cannot copy the thought, or idea that
the artists had, who created the piece.

Reason #3.
-The piece gets more beautiful, while they gets aged.
This was just a opinion that I had in my mind, but I thought
"getting old" creates a beauty that "youngs" don't have.
Getting wrinkles on the face isn't a shame thing.
It's a thing that you should feel a proud of.


This was the reasons that I had so far.


My mother told me that, buying a "used clothe" is a stupid thing to do.
It was few years ago that she told me this.
But I still remember, since it gave me a strong feelings.
When I asked her why, and this was her thoughts:

1. You don't know who wore the clothing before you gets it.
2. It's dirty and old, compare to the new clothing.
3. Superstition reason.

It was interesting that, it's wasn't just my mother who had this thoughts in their minds.
Actually, many other Koreans had this prejudices toward "second handed clothe."

But, I can argue with their thoughts with my 3 reasons.
Personally, I'm the person who loves "vintage dresses,"
and also, believes that "vintage clothes" are much uniquer than the new clothes.

By the way, this dress was the dress that I didn't win from the auction (ebay):

Isn't this a beautiful dress?

Since the auction ended, I could not find the address of the page,

but, if this becomes a problem, I will be glad to take down the 

picture.

Any way, this dress is 70s vintage dress, and it's hard to find this kind of dress
in present days.

Feeling sick 5/13/12

Nothing really happened today,
except I feel sick.
I think I might of gotten cold from walking down to the street.
I have a bunch of homeworks to finish.
But I don't feel like to doing it.

My story on the 5/11 in 2012 from ebay

Hi everyone!
I thought it would be funny to share this story with you guys.
It's kinda long story to share, but still, I thought it would be really funny
to share this story with other people.
So two days ago, I went on the ebay to search some dresses.
And when I finally found a wonderful white dress,
I wanted to win the auction really badly.
But since the dress was in a used condition,
I thought spending more than $36 was unnecessary.
But guess what happened?
When the auction got close to being done,
there was other three people increasing bids up to $53? $54?
So, I decided to increase my max bid up to $60, because I really liked that dress,
and I wanted to win the auction no matter what.
But right before 1second from the end,
some one increased their max bid more than my max bid.
So I lost the auction, and it really stressed me out
that I decided to go and search for another dress,
even I knew I didn't need a new dress.
I was searching it for over an hours, and it was after 11:30, and I realized
that I had to go to sleep in order to woke up at 8:00 in the morning.
So I went to a sleep, and in the next day, I kept searching on ebay.
When I finally found a dress that I liked,
I wanted to purchase it, but since I could not figure out the size,
I sent a massage to the seller, asking about the actual size.
However, the seller replied me back, saying that,
"I posted the measure on the page. Since all the company has diffrent sizes,
I cannot give you a actual size.
And soon, I replied back to seller that, she ore he does not have to give me the actual size,
but I want know brief lettered size, and if I purchase two items from her,
is it possible to get some discount.
This was the beginning that she began to ignore my messages.
I was sending a multiple messages, however, the seller kept ignoring me.
I decided to purchase the dress even I didn't really know about the actual size, since I really loved that dress. But when I clicked on the "buy it now" button,
it said the seller blocked me from buying his or her items (I don't have any negative feedback, or
the item that I didn't made a payment).
So I ended up calling ebay custommer center to ask, because I was really confused with the seller's reaction. The ebay custommer center lady told me the seller blocked me from purchasing the item
from him or her, and it was so ridiculous that I didn't said a word to the seller after that.
But however, I purchased the dress by making a new account(but first, I had to ask ebay for a permission in order to do that).
So now I'm waiting for dress to arrive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My thought of today:
-I met a ridiculous seller.
-I found the dress.
-Ebay custommer center is very kind and fast.
-If I decides to do something, and must do or so, no matter what.
-I should stop shopping.
