4 Coords for 1 Season with 1 Main Piece

This week's Lolita Blog Carnival topic is a great exercise for anyone with a wardrobe, and as fall is my favorite season for wearing lolita it was perfect timing. I decided to try my hand at coordinating Cameo Window as it is one of my most loved main pieces and the print is well suited for the season.

Angelic Pretty USA Summer 2016 Lucky Pack!

What's inside?!?

So, I finally bought my first lucky pack! A friend of mine informed me of them the night before they went up as the email from AP USA had made it to my spam box. Unfortunately, as I was at work the time of release, so I had to rely on the services and judgement of my wonderful husband who works in front of a computer. And he came through! He ordered me the "Special Cute" set which included 2 jsks, a hair bow, a top, and a surprise pair of socks (I did not know about the socks when I ordered)! This was a blind pack so I was completely at the mercy of fate...

Pastries and Antiques Meet!

A lovely teacup set I regretfully did not purchase...

This past weekend a few of my good local lolita friends and I went to a lovely french pastry shop and then browsed some nearby antique shops!

To all my dear readers, I wish you the happiest of New Year's! May the year of 2015 bring you everything you hope for, and most importantly - lots of frills! Inspired by a friend's series of posts, I decided I'd take a look back at the past year - all the outfits and events I attended. 2014 was a great year, full of new additions to my wardrobe, lots of new friends, and amazing events.

Warning: This post is both picture and text heavy!

I hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season so far, full of lots of lolita presents! As for me, I've yet to receive anything lolita related this year, but I definitely have in the past!

Lolita Blog Carnival: Winter Lolita Look

If you haven't noticed the above icon in my sidebar, I've joined the Lolita Blog Carnival! I'm really excited to join this collective and share in writing about the same topic with other lolita fashion enthusiasts. This week's topic is to put together a winter lolita look! This is particularly timely seeing as I just happened to pick up a fantastic coat from Dream V's Rakuten shop.

Lolita 52 - Combining lolita with other fashions

To be honest, this post was really difficult for me to write as I outside of lolita my wardrobe is pretty boring. I've wasn't very interested in fashion prior to getting into this one, and my outfits were very basic, jeans and a t-shirt were my go to clothing on the weekends - and still are when I'm not in lolita. However, there is one fashion trend that I've been fond of, which is beginning to get attention outside of Tumblr - Disneybounding.

Now, cosplay and fandom coords usually get the side eye with the majority of adherents to this fashion, but I'm of the opinion there's nothing wrong with them as long as you remember to stick to the rules and guidelines of lolita.

Lolita 52 - What's in my closet, but I haven't worn yet!

My wardrobe's growth has been pretty small recently, due to the fact that I've started a new budget that will allow me to spend guilt free. Unfortunately, because of this, I haven't added much to my wardrobe recently in the way of main pieces, but have exchanged some shoes and blouses for things that are more elegant and opulent, and in the long run will lend themselves to more variety in my coordinates. I've found that my style has begun to evolve into less of a traditional sweet aesthetic (not that it was ever the pastel flavor), and more into a classic-sweet hybrid. As much as I find classic beautiful, I just love the cute themes and imagery present in sweet, particularly chocolate and other desserts. However, I am waiting on a few things in the mail (so I guess technically they aren't part of my closet yet), and have a main piece that I've yet to wear to a meet (but have worn in public very briefly).

Lolita 52 - Plan for a trip! A week's worth of lolita outfits I can fit in a small suitcase

This post was supposed to go up last week, but in the business of getting ready for Anime Weekend Atlanta I completely forgot to publish it! Since I went to a con this weekend, I thought I'd skip out on the month's theme of firsts this week and plan for a trip. This was a really fun post to put together. One of my favorite things about my wardrobe, as well as one I am most proud of, is how cohesive it is. It was pretty easy, and I had a blast putting together these coordinates.
