In this blog I'll be talking about a lot of places that might seem strange or new to you. I also might talk about fashion styles you might have not heard of. To clarify, I'm going to put links for them here:Taobao:
Official website: http://www.taobao.com/index_global.php
This website is in Chinese, and is not possible for those out of asia to shop at, unless you use a shopping service.
Guide: http://taobaofieldguide.com/
Cute stores on TaoBao to get you started: http://community.livejournal.com/egl/15204857.html
If you want to order from this place, look up as many reviews as you can. This website houses many individual stores, so you should check up on that store and it's rating before you order from it. Taobao has literally everything. It's worth going to for cheaper priced items. They are based in China, but you can find many Japanese or Korean things here, too.
Rakuten:
Official Website: http://global.rakuten.com/us/ (this is their US site)
A website structured like Taobao, however you do not need a shopping service. You can find many things from Japan here, and is great for lovers of Japanese cosplay or fashion. They have an English website, so it's a bit easier to understand than Taobao, but the prices are generally higher.
For the styles I mention:
Lolita: http://hellolace.net/
Fairy Kei, Hime Gyaru, ect: http://www.electricalice.com/style.asp
And of course, if I talk about something you don't understand (that isn't mentioned here), please don't hesitate to comment and ask! You may not be the only one, and I make mistakes just like everyone else.
Hopefully this post will clear up a lot. I may add more to it in the future.
