Another Sweet Another Rinka Cover

The colors of this cover are simply beautiful

This Sweet + Rinka cover is special because it’s the Rinka photo on the Sweet x Rinka charity t-shirt donating proceeds to victims of The Great Eastern Japan Earthquake. There’s a 2 page spread with a message and information on how to purchase the t-shirt. You can purchase it at my-fashion.jp here. I pre-ordered the white version through SMJ and just got the invoice for it so I know it just shipped!

It’s especially difficult to get your hands on a Rinka shirt. They’re always in short supply with insanely high demand. The pre-order for these tees has been open for over a month. I can’t even fathom how much they must have raised already. Plus other brands have gotten behind the collab as well including Jupiter, Royal Party, DRWCYS and more. The shirts are available in white, gray, and now pink! Pink was just added a few weeks ago. They’re very affordable at ¥2,100

pink was JUST added as a color option! Kinda sorta would have gotten that instead of white but I need a fitted white tee

This issue also included a small tote bag from MECURYDUO. I wanted this issue because
1: I’m getting the t-shirt and I wanted the corresponding Rinka cover BECAUSE I’M A DIE-HARD RINKA FAN and
2: I’m really, reaaaaally liking Sweet’s fashion lately and am enjoying buying the latest issues. But! This tote turned out to be really lovely and has a zipper too! I’m now using it as my daily bag.

the free tote in this issue. It's cute, small size but large enough to be a handbag and it zips! I'm using it now

Sweet used to be too celeb-fashion for my tastes. They still feature celebrity fashion but it’s played way down lately and replaced with more mid-to-high brand casual adult fashion. Eh, there’s probably a better way to describe it but I’ll just leave it with ME GUSTA…
