~Introduction~
I thought it would be a nifty idea if we had a thread where an item is featured weekly. I think it would be cool if the items featured are non-brand and unique so that everyone gets to see some fresh new items that might be of interest. Each week I will find a new item to post about and put it up in the top post. I will also add to the top post links to any other good finds people have posted below the top post~ Then at the end of the week the top post's entries will be replaced with new entries but since all entries will also be posted in the thread the information will always be accessible.


Rules:-Anyone can post an item
-Items must be Loli related/loliable
-Items must be non-brand unless it notifies us of a sale( because there are other threads for posting cute items, and I think a lot of us regularly check brand sites for updates)
-Items must be tasteful
-Debate over items is allowed as long as it is done in a friendly manner
-Items must be posted in this format:

~Look below for an example~

~Item Spotlight~
Waist Dropped Gingham Skirt
Brand: Sechuna
Site:Yes Asia/ Sechuna
Extra information: Comes in only one size and fits slightly smaller people. Probably dry-clean only.
Commentary: I think this skirt is definitely desirable for a Lolita who wants to dress casually or lightly because of the summer heat. It is also a good price at 30.00$. I have had good experience with buying from Sechuna, their fabric is nice and generally does not pill.

A nice one piece
Brand: Rankuen
Site: http://www.rakuenfashion.com/
Extra information: I believe all of there one pieces and blouses have a expandable back side. All dresses come with a petticoat and headress
Commentary: I don't exactly like most of their styles but I figured other Lolis could appreciate this. And the prices are heavenly! The dress featured is $132! That might not seem different to most but it comes with the petticoat!

Sorry, but that is one of Rakuen's worst dresses.
The lace is horrible quality and the placement is strange; plus, black on white rarely is pulled off well and in that proportion looks really unappealing. Additionally, Rakuen's petticoats aren't bad for light skirts, and have the right shape, but their headdresses are a total nightmare. They're incredibly long, use inferior materials and almost never look right on anyone. ;(

You're much better off finding one of their newer pieces, and even then they're kind of iffy in terms of design. You can find MUCH nicer for 130+shipping than Rakuen.

VARIOUS via Forever21
Brand: F21
Site: http://www.forever21.com/
Extra information: For low price accessories and goodies.
Commentary: A recent post on EGL provided images, links, and prices to several items that Forever21 and their subsidiaries are currently selling. Many of these pieces are suitable for gothic and classical lolita. Some would even work well with sweet.

Ha!

Have you been to Etsy? It's a DIY seller's site. They have killer accesories and die hard Lolis.
