I initially came across this brand Liz Lisa from Kim Dao's youtube channel. I thought the clothes were cute and very Japanese, however, I didn't fall in love with it at the first sight, maybe I was considering the style was probably a bit too cute for the Aussie fashion and I might not have much chance to wear the clothes to work. But anyhow, I still went on the Liz Lisa online store to check it out and boy, I couldn't stop browsing the website and BUYING ever since.

I found out that the clothes at Liz Lisa were not full-on hime gyaru style. In fact, they are very sweet and trendy, and many of them can be toned down for work - if your workplace does not require formal attire. I also really like its sub-brand Juge Etta. The style is very similar to the Australian brand Forever New and will be very work appropriate.
So overall, I love Liz Lisa and its other brands Juge Etta and Tralala for the following reasons:
- I have always favoured sweet and cute fashion;
- I am quite petite and most western brands are a little too big for me even with the smallest size. Despite Liz Lisa only makes one size for their clothing, they all fit perfectly on me, particularly the dresses and jackets;
- The colour coordination is soft and feminine; the print and patterns are beautiful and again express girliness and young womanhood; and finally the design and cutting of the clothing are quite unique and really compliment petite body shapes (e.g. makes you look taller or the chest and bottom look fuller *^_^* ).
However, there 2 downsides:
- The clothes at Liz Lisa are quite expensive usually. Average about AUD$70 per piece. However, I was very lucky because they were having huge sales on their 2013 Spring/Summer collections in July and August when I placed my orders. There was a secret member sale with discount up to 85% off and on another occasion they had sales up to 70% off plus I received a 30% off discount code for members. At the end, the average price per piece plus international shipping worked out to be approx. AUD$30, which is very cheap even in Australia.
- Liz Lisa online store does not offer international shipping. Therefore you need to use a shipping agent. There are a number of shipping agents that will ship from Japan to other countries, but the one recommended on Liz Lisa's website is Tenso. (I used Tenso and was pleased with its service overall. I may do a review on it later on).
All in all, i am absolutely crazy about Liz Lisa now and have purchased so much lately. I am still waiting for one more order to arrive. I browse their online store daily just to check on the new autumn collection for 2013. I am eyeing on their upcoming autumn/winter collection now, can't wait till they have sales on the new collection!! (that will probably be at the end of this year or early next year /_\ ).
