CANDY Sydney Gyaru Community Meet: Ladurée!

Yesterday CANDY visited Ladurée for high tea!

In attendance were Bec, Iris and Sarah.

As usual we all voted on a dress code. The winner was a tie between blue and floral so a lot of us wore both!

The Ladurée cafe is located in the CBD Westfield, a level below the Tea Salon that we visited on our first meet. The staff were extremely nice and the food was so yummy, as expected! Most of us got the Afternoon Tea sets which came with various sponge cakes, macarons and sandwiches. I got the Cheri tea which was delicious, and I'm still daydreaming about the amazing salmon sandwiches... mmmm.

It was nice to have a relaxed meet where we could all sit and chat over delicious food. I enjoyed the big zoo and pancakes meet as well, but sometimes it's preferable to do as little walking as possible and just chill out!

After Ladurée we followed tradition and wandered to Chinatown for purikura and window shopping. I've recently moved into a new apartment so I picked up a whole heap of My Melody homewares at Zakka House, typical Taffa... I'm always holding people up while visiting that damn store!

I can't believe we've already had four of these meets after just starting this group on a whim in November last year. Having any sort of fashion comm to be a part of has been a pipedream of mine ever since I got into clothing as a hobby- whether I was doing gothic, fairy kei or spank styles. Engaging with people with the same interests both on our facebook page and in person has been such a fun and rewarding experience for both myself and the members. We learn from one another with shopping guides and purchase reviews, eat yummy food together, and comfort one another when we've walked around the city in heels... haha! I've really grown to love these girls and love being able to meet up with them and plan the next hang out excitedly with them.

We still have a few members that have yet to attend meets that I would love to meet someday, I really hope to continue growing our community and spreading cute and fun style throughout our city!

Remember, we're always recruiting anyone into gyaru, swankiss and larme kei so if you're around Sydney check out our facebook group!

I wore a Liz Lisa dress and denim jacket, a Honey Salon bag (unseen) and Mon Lily shoes. Dress and bag were purchased via Tokyo Otaku Mode, use my reference link for a discount.

CANDY Gyarusa Meet: Wildlife Sydney and Pancakes!

Last Sunday CANDY met up to go to the zoo and eat pancakes!

The theme was autumn browns and beiges.

In attendance were Jessica, Mika, Kiara, Sean and later on Sarah joined us.

It was super exciting to have Kiara and Sean joining us all the way from Brisbane and Mika coming in from Canberra!

First before going into the zoo: lots of photos!

The zoo was nice and small so it didn't take up too much of the day. The Tasmanian Devils were so cute! We also got to see a show with an echidna and a snake that we got to touch

After the zoo we met up with Sarah and looked around some shops and got purikura.

We said bye to Mika and went to Pancakes On The Rocks! I took some snapchats of the food which I forgot to save so you can just imagine... (It was all super delicious)

We have a lot of members in our community now from all over Australia, it was super cool to have people come in from so far away! Unfortunately a lot of the members were sick so this meet wasn't as big as I planned but as always we had a lot of fun and I can't wait for the next one!

We're always recruiting anyone into gyaru, swankiss and larme kei so if you're around Sydney check out our facebook group!
