Loli Music!

Is there any music you listen to that gets you in the mood for Lolita, or any bands you like that have have a Lolita flair to them?

Hatsune Miku!

I guess all the Vocaloids but Miku especially. The songs can be so cute and in a lot of the videos she has super cute outfits. She’s just CUTE! And cute puts me in a loli mood, even though I don’t really dress Sweet.

My current fav three songs:



Yule and Giveaway over at Reality Will Kill You

Like my Yule "Log"? Despite living in rural Texas there aren't many trees on my property. I always figured it was better to stick with the from your property/given to you/cannot buy it part than the log part. Plus it'll be easier to burn on Candlemas. The shadowy thing at the back is an evergreen spray with bayberries for the whole evergreen decoration since... technically I think I was supposed to burn the Yule Twigs on Yule and then the evergreens on Candlemass. But I still have a small problem of no good place to burn anything here to figure out. Hm. And I'm having no luck finding some holly for the door so I went with a glittery holly pick from Michael's.

Also didn't get any pics of the either the Yule log cake I made for last night (Yule was 11:30pm my time) nor the one I made and brought into work. I admit they weren't that pretty anyways but seeing as they were cinnamon cake with honey cream cheese filling and fudge frosting they were absolutely delicious.

And here is today's coord:

Yule Coord (Day 1)

Yule/Brumalia starts today so I decided to be a little festive. But it will still be easy to bustle about tonight since I put off making the Yule logs (both cake and alter ones) and as is the case every year I'm still have trouble finding some real holly. But I shall persist. And the sweater will keep me warm tonight while carolling and toasting cider. And I swear my hair doesn't look quite that derpy in real life.

Life and Times of a Lifestyle Lolita: Awkward Grocery Shopping

Because it is fun to illustrate some of the things that happen while in lolita.

That awkward moment when you decide to wear a capelet just 'cause and keep running into people from work. At least that's what kept happening last Saturday.

And I was wearing this, but with pearls in place of the chain and the collar just laying flat and a diff blouse with pintucks instead of ruffles:

Also, I'm starting to wish I ordered the red version of that in my last Bodyline order since I've kind of fallen in love with that in red. Oh well.

Happy Saturnalia!

As per tradition I am spending it with friends. And dressing up in lolita since holidays, if nothing else, deserve frills and lace.



FYI Bodyline Shipping Sale

$5 shipping, airmail at Christmas time so it'd be something you'd probably get after the new year but that isn't a bad shipping price.

They also finally restocked on a skirt I have been wanting for just about forever:

L120

I got the red. Hopefully the vest and underskirt are still removable like they previously were since that vest is awesome. Tempted to get all three colorways but at some point Bodyline decided to start getting expensive. There's supposed to also be a Christmas sale going on but I didn't see it.

So yeah, I'll have a happy post sometime in the next 4 to 17 days.

Although can anyone tell me about the whole declarations thing? I know it is to save on possible customs fees but what kind of risk does one run by claiming their stuff is only worth 25% of what you paid?

New Loli Trend Please?!

Saw this in the NY Times and all I could think was if this had a hood and was done in some great colors (like olive/hunter/british racing green!) it would be an amazing piece of outerwear for lolita coords. And it would be great to port into everyday wear too. :3
