30 Days of Lolita - Day 15

A Picture of Your Last Lolita Purchase

I ordered this Anna House skirt custom sized (with a matching headbow) so I hope it fits! I love purple and cats, so it seemed like a good fit :)

A Picture of Your Dream Item

Baby the Stars Shine Bright Gloomy Bear apron and bonnet set (2004)

So this set may be a really silly "dream item" set, but I have been in love with this since I discovered the fashion, so I hope one day to maybe find it to call my own.

A Picture of Your Favorite Sweets

Chocolate Mousse is BY FAR my favorite dessert, if I were to choose one. I like a wide variety of sweets, but this option always wins if it is presented to me.

Lolita 52 Challenge - Week 3

What My Own Lolita Lifestyle is Like

I'm not what would be considered a "lifestyle lolita", but I do wear the fashion outside of meet ups on occasion, and some of my hobbies could fall into that category. More than anything, I'm employed full time and attend school, plus I have a home to take care of with my partner. Most of my focus goes to these things, but in my spare time I enjoy my hobbies and lolita wardrobe.

My hobbies include reading books, watching movies/television (Netflix), ball jointed dolls, crocheting/sewing/other general crafting, playing video games, and of course, lolita fashion.

I'm the moderator of the small-ish community in my area, which is filled with some pretty cool people. I feel pretty lucky to have such a good comm close to home (the surrounding communities I have visited are really awesome too). 

In general I just enjoy this hobby and the people I get to meet through it.

10 Things You Will Never Do in Lolita

1. Eat extremely messy foods, because I am a total clutz and that is just a sure fire way for me to mess up my clothes.

30 Days of Lolita - Day 7

10 People Who Inspire Your Lolita Style

1. Positori / Tori Time: I have actually met Tori in person when I attended Anime Matsuri in 2015. She is beyond super nice, and I love her fun youtube videos and how she pulls together coordinates.
2. Marie Dauphine: The only strictly Gothic (and OTT Gothic) lolita I follow through Instagram. She has some really amazing coordinates.
3. Hello Batty: I also briefly said hello to her at AM this past year, she has a really cutesy gothic style that I like and she has a variety of spooky themed videos on youtube.
4. Misako Aoki: Well duh haha. I admire Misako's poise and grace, because even in person she is always elegant and collected (it's probably very exhausting, more power to her!)
5. Sheri Branson: Another lolita I briefly met at AM. I randomly went up to her to discuss the jsk she was wearing (I have the same one, but a different colorway). It was only later on that I accidentally discovered her blog and fell in love with her creativity when it came to redesigning brand pieces!
6. Charlie Jamison: A UK lolita that I found by accident on youtube. She's funny and sweet, and her style reminds me of a Disney princess (Mainly Aurora. I really think she looks like Aurora.)
7. Natasha Asbury: I discovered this lolita through her posts on Closet of Frills and adored her OTT Sweet coordinates, and I eventually ran across her Instagram to follow.
8. Rosie Darling: She puts together really charming sweet coordinations and I had initially found her through her blog that I used to follow way back when.
9. Skullita: I love the gothic yet kind of sweet and sometimes oldschool coordinates that seem to dominate this lolita's Instagram, her makeup is also always wonderful.
10. MC Melody Doll: This is more of a fun one, but I really do love her attitude and style.
