Little outfit catch-up to prove I'm still alive

Guys, I'm sorry! I had this super long break from Lolita. There were presentations and exams waiting to be studied for, and I'd meet with my study group every weekend when usually, this would be the time to wear some outfits. I somehow lost my passion over time, as I got so stressed and worn out. But now with all the excitement coming from the people attending LVER, I got motivated again to take some pics and do a little catch-up here.

I also realized I never posted about my last trip to Japan. I'll write a few lines in my next entry, especially about Universal Studies, Disney Sea & Disney Land, Host Clubs and what to do when you missed your last train to Tokyo. Most of us are probably familiar with the usual shopping areas so maybe I can provide some additional insights and tips for your next journey <3

I took all those pics in that one corner of my flat. It's the only free corner with some nice lightning. I know it's probably getting boring, but I currently have no one to go out with me </3

Scarlett OP outfit rundown:
Dress (& flowers on my head), headdress: BTSSB
Choker, tights, shoes: offbrand

Next is Fancy Paper Dolls. I basically had nothing else for this dress, so I searched for matching shoes, bags, headdresses and socks and it took so much time (months!). In the end, when I got all the things I wanted, I realized the things I already had at home fitted the dress so much better u___u
I thought I'd never wear bunny ears with lolita. Especially not the fluffy ones. But here we go~

Outfit rundown:
JSK, socks, bag, headdress: Angelic Pretty
Shoes: offbrand

In late autumn, Falk asked me to meet him for taking some pics in Weimar again. I really should've prepared some for this post but I forgot >_< I was wearing Cameo Window and also yay for headbows. I've neglected them for too long.  I'm sorry I overdid the colour saturation of this pic but I somehow thought the colour effects match the dress. URGH XD


Outfit rundown:
JSK, tights, headbow: Angelic Pretty
Choker: BTSSB
Blouse, bag, shoes: offbrand

When I was in Japan, the BTSSB shop had a special sale corner for some pieces (maybe samples?) and they had the Destinee de la Rose coat AAAGH!!! I also found the Captain Schwarz pirate hat at Closet Child. So I HAD to try some outfits. Let's call it put-everything-black-and-gold-together-experiment. I just wish I had some proper make up on that day. And a better facial expression omg

I'd never wear the first one, I guess. It was just too much; in the sense like...too much fabric to move, too heavy, too warm... I felt like a clothes rack because of all these thick layers. But it was fun! I know my face says otherwise, though XD

Outfit rundown:
JSK, blouse, socks: Angelic Pretty
Coat, hat: Alice and the Pirates
Shoes: offrand



So I kept trying on some things. I lost my patience so I threw my wig and shoes in the corner and that's what's left ↓↓↓ I liked this outfit so much in the end, so I had to take some mobile pics at least.

Outfit rundown:
Blouse, socks: Angelic Pretty
JSK, hat, bag: Alice and the Pirates
Jacket, necklace: offbrand / other
Imaginary black shoes (or lace-up boots? *O*): offbrand

Recently, my Alice in Wonderland (AP x Disney Collab) JSK arrived. It's a little short, but with my underskirt I really love it <3 I couldn't stop myself and had to wear some bunny ears again. The white rabbit, okay. It's justified, okay. ^______^

Outfit rundown:
JSK, blouse, socks: Angelic Pretty
Bunny ears, flower crown: BTSSB
Underskirt: Innocent World
Bag, shoes: offbrand

I also tried on Tea Time Nostalgia to see whether I still like it enough to keep it. But I still can't decide :( The shoes are medium brown, I know they look black there >_<

Outfit rundown:
Blouse, socks: Angelic Pretty
JSK, headdress: Alice and the Pirates
Shoes: offbrand

Leipzig zoo, bookfair pics and random stuff: This is not a Rothenburg post!

Hello fellow kings, queens, princesses and rulers of the world <3
I hope you're all doing fine!

I don't have much Lolita news to share. I didn't attend Rothenburg or any convention recently. And I couldn't bring myself to wear Lolita in the past couple of days as my flat's just too hot at the moment. So I'm simply sharing pics of some lovely people, and from a trip to the zoo <3

So first of all, I finally managed to edit the pics from this year's book fair in Leipzig. Isa (missdemian.blogspot.com) and me go there every year and it's always been a lot of fun. Though I must say that next year we might also look for other events as we were both getting a little unexcited. This year, cosplayers and lolitas weren't treated very nicely, as the organizers tried to separate us from the ordinary crowd. I do understand their points, and I don't try to judge their actions. It's just that maybe we should focus on other events instead? Hmmm...
Anyway, here are some pics of some very gorgeous people I was allowed to take pics of <3

Quite not so recently I met Franzi for visiting the Zoo in Leipzig! It was a lot of fun, even though not all animals were there. Especially the newly built areas are exciting. They even built a hall that makes you feel like being on a tropical island and it's so relaxing there. We somehow took an entry nobody seemed to notice. We had to pass long, mine-like corridors that were barely lit for the nocturnal animals and suddenly entered the tropical hall and it was just amazing!



↑↑↑ The pink coral was glowing!

↑↑↑ see that little monkey on that leaf? ↑↑↑ 
They were running around freely, jumping in the trees!


↑↑↑ Franzi amazed by paradise ^O^ ↑↑↑ 


I also have some more random stuff to share. First, I was trying out those Wilton gum paste roses. I always thought you could actually eat those flowers. Well, indeed you could, but it's the consistency of (sweet) gypsum. Those roses are my first try and I'm afraid I'll leave it at that. That's okay since I finally managed to get myself away from sweets and any unhealthy stuff, and I don't want to give in to the temptation anytime soon >_< As soon as you get past the first days of not eating fatty or sweet stuff, you really start to feel active and very healthy! This is like.... my goodbye-sweets-cake :D



I usually don't post things I bought (wait, didn't I say that in my last post as well?!) but I was so relieved when my Sakizou tights finally arrived. It took them over a month (and I seriously only mean shipping) and I thought they got lost. But here they are, being all gorgeous and beautiful <3




I also finally got the original AP pony bag and the Soiree OP ↑↑↑ (and it's oh-so-beautiful, I couldn't stop wearing it) and more... stuff. I'm sorry, I just had to share this showoff/what's-inside-your-package-pic!
Talking of my greed, Fanu got me those wonderful Slytherin shirts, I can't thank her enough for this <3<3<3
I also received my  new contact lenses. They're SO bright and cool and I absolutely wasn't able to look friendly with them. It's just impossible. When I smiled, I looked even more scary. THEY'RE GORGEOUS!


Sorry, my old mobile doesn't have a front camera, so I can only provide wannabe-selfies. But I'll try to post a close-up soon and maybe I'll do a review on them, if I find where and which ones I ordered >_<
I'd love to wear them together with some ouji clothes but my skills still need to improve a lot. I'm really trying, but I only manage to get better by small steps. But I do my best and maybe some of my friends love this style as much as I do and we can dress up together and doing prince-things together <3... wait- what


Wish you all the best and take care <3
