T'was the Night Before Christmas (Lolita Meet-up)

Hi Everyone!!

I hope every one is enjoying there weekend. :D It has been a great weekend for me because my boyfriend took me to this awesome lolita meet up that Oli, Amber, and Tani has set up. There were so many lolitas that were beautifully dressed. *__* I was so impressed.  I had such a lovely time and I hope that all the people who went to the meet up had fun too.

The meet up consisted a swap meet/  boutique, which I participated in. I have some new products for my shop, Kawaii Carnival at the meet. (I will post pictures of my new products soon.) ^^ Most of at the boutique were doing some major shopping. There were so many cute items that I wanted to buy, which were just killing me. Anyways, after everyone did their morning shopping, we headed towards the main event which was the tea party. Each table was nicely decorated with Christmas motifs, which I just adore; and each seat was presented with a plate of food. On the plate we had a scone, two tea cakes, a piece cumber sandwich, a piece of a chicken salad sandwich, and a mini chocolate cupcake. The drinks that were served were water with sliced of cumber for taste, and tea. There were also different music that was playing, some of them set the mood and some were a little dark or hard core. I think some of the music was a little hard core because this meet up was also celebrating Halloween as well.

During the tea party, there were prizes that were given away to the first 30 people who arrived early. There was also a contest for three people who were best dressed for the event. One of my friends, Angela, won for best dressed as a Christmas theme. She was really adorable in her outfit. After that we had a  Secret Santa exchange for all those who brought gifts. I didn't bring any because I didn't have time. ;3; Then there was a bingo game that came right after. My boyfriend was so cute ,he teamed up with  Ariane's husband  and they had two and three bingo cards, and they still lost every game. lolz. In the end of the games, it consisted of four winner. I lost each time.;__; It was fun any who. :D When the tea party was over we went back to the boutique  and did some more shopping. lolz. When the clock stroke five, all the venders had to pack up and everyone had to leave, and we said our good byes and await for the next meet up. ^0^

I wish I have gotten more pictures taken, but I was so preoccupied. I feel so bad. Here are also some pictures that my boyfriend took:

Lolita Inspirations/Origins

   

Hi Everyone!

Have you ever had some body or some thing that inspired you? I was looking back in how I got into lolita, and how I came to love this fashion so much.

I think  my inspiration went as far back as when I was probably five years old. I have always been intrigued with pretty frilly things. I really loved the dresses that princesses would wear, even though I had no interest in wanting to become a princess myself. If I had to pick something out from my childhood inspiration it would be; Barbie and Care Bears  which has played a big factor in my obsession with Over the top (OTT) lolita style.Barbie always wore the best dress and she was always wearing my favorite color, pink.

During my rebellious years dressing as a goth in  high school is when I found out about the famous Mana from "Malice Mizer" or his current band "Moi dix Moite." I honestly thought he was a girl, until one day one of my friends told me he is a guy. I have to admit I was shocked to death because he makes such a pretty girl. Anyways, when I found out about him is when I really got into lolita. I tried to find some authentic lolita dresses, but at the time it was really hard to obtain because one, lolita wasn't that popular in the US and two, I didn't know where to get actual lolita items. lolz. So, I guess you can say that I started off as an ita. haha *We all had to start some where."

When I got into college I met girls who really knew about the fashion and where to get them. I met a girl by the name of  Anya, who told me all about Angelic Pretty (AP). This brought back my love for super cute and colorful thing. *__* We all know where Angelic Pretty is made out of, which is pastel vomit with tons of sugar rush. What really got me into wear actual lolita, instead of being an ita is; the previous model for AP, Amo. I know she has a full team of crazy make-up artist and photographers that make her look fabulous.Regardless, she is still adorable.

Now, I am inspired by alot of people and things. I really enjoy lolita fashion so much. Through out the years, lolita has expanded to a broader spectrum making it very versatile. These are the people and things that inspired me in this fashion.

I hope you enjoyed this entry.

Fairy Tale meet-up in June

There is going to be an awesome meet-up hosted my Oli and Mandie, which I'm really excited about.  They are going to post more info this Friday. *squeal.* The theme is "fairy tale," which is something that I am interested in. I'm not sure what I want to dress up as, but these are some of the fairy tales that I might do:

Sleeping Beauty

Goldilocks

Draucula: Something gothic that is sort of related to vampires.

Phantom of the Opera: Again, something like the main heroin in the story.

GAHH, I have a hard time choosing. Help me decide, please.
To any who is going: Which fairy tale are you going to dress as?

Mighty Harajuku Project, by 6% Doki Doki

Last weekend I went with Mochichan to the" Mighty Harajuku Project", by 6% Doki Doki event. Surprisingly there weren't alot of people there when we got to event.  Well, that probably because we got there at 11AM. LoLz. Mochichan and  I was so excited to meet the shop girls again!!  They are so cute and sweet. X3 I was too scared to speak Japanese to them because I don't think they would understand me. None the less I had a blast. Afterwards, we walked around the area where the place had held a farmers market and swap meet. We were looking for drinks, but all we found were fruits and vegetables. To my surprise,  there were quite a few people who were intrigued by lolita and  asked us many question about the fashion. Plus, many asked  us to take pictures with them. haha.^^ 

Anyways on to the pictures! ^0^

Thank you for reading! :3

Downtown Disney

Not too long ago, I meet- up with two sweet lolitas Claudia, and Rae. My boyfriend and Claudia's cute baby boy were there as well. We met up to have some lunch at the Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney. From there we were browsing around in different stores. We had a great time eating and chatting. The down side was that it was scorching hot. I think we were going to melt in that weather.

It was really nice because it is good to meet up from time to time because not everyone can make it to huge meet- ups.

Anyways, here are some pictures:

This is me at Claudia's house.

jsk: ETC

wrist cuffs: AP

shoes: SS

Everything else is offbrand

My boyfriend also went with us. He is playing with Claudia's little boy. <3

My boyfriend  is such a sweetie for taking care of Claudia's baby! <33 Aren't they adorable?

The adorable Claudia and her baby playing with legos. ^^

The beautiful Rae and her Minnie Mouse inspired coordinate.

There were no pictures of food or the shops at Downtown Disney because I was too hungry and tired by the end of the day. None the less, I had so much fun!
I hope that there will be more lolita meet- ups soon! 

Thank you for reading!! <3
