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.

Updates on the NEW Angelic Pretty Prints!

Hey everyone!

Last night the new Angelic Pretty Summer 2011 catalog was released!! The new Toy Parade print is called "Toy Fantasy." This dress is a must for me!!! I never got Toy Parade, so this is a good substitute. Plus, AP also released a salopette version with a bunny hoodie!! How cute is that? I want that too! To be honest I love everything from this series!

Salopette love. <3 Can you resist the bunny hoodie? 

Wow, look at the umbrella and accessories!*Q* I am drooling all over the place.

This print is called "Dream Sky," it clearly looks like the casual version of "Milky Planet." This is great for casual wear on a hot summer day. *W*

Everything about this series is just dreamy!

Thanks for reading! <3

NEW Angelic Pretty Print~

Angelic Pretty Shooting Star print

OMGosh!! This print is sooo cute by AP!!! Look at the shooting stars, rainbows, and moons. This really reminds me of milky planet, but the good thing is that it can be worn more causally and it's can be versatile too.  I  really want to get it in sax or black. What do you guys think? Do you like it or not?

*Edit:* Mochichan is right! This dress has a fairy kei feel to it which makes me love it more. Now, I can wear pastels without going over the top. lolz.

This is the one piece version.

This the jsk version.

*Edit:* Angelic Pretty has already release on their website that they are going to release different version of

"Toy Parade."  *Q*

Thank you for reading! <3

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^

Yuka looking adorable, while Vani is rolling our posters. <3

I'm  so thankful that my boyfriend is such a sweetie! He drive us to this event in the blistering hot weather. I also had a blast with Mochichan, she's such a sweetie, and seeing some of my other friends who showed up a little latter. 

Thank you for reading! :3

Cute Nostalgia

Have you ever tried to leave certain lolita style, but ended up missing it?

No matter how hard I try to steer away from sweet lolita,  I still love it. The pastels remind me of my childhood tv shows and things I liked and still do. For example: Sailor moon, Care Bears, Sanrio, Barbie, and anything that is colorful and pink. XD Plus, my friend Mochichan got me all into it again. She was showing me her closet and her room, and I was drooling all over the place. *Q*  If you see her room it's like *RAINBOW VOMIT.* I think sweet lolita is meant to be worn in a group of two or more. It's just so boring to wear it all by oneself. Now, that there is someone near me who is super addicted to cuteness, and I can twin with her. It's not like I'm afraid of wearing it alone because I have done it before. The problem is that it gets really boring really fast.

As I have said in my previous post; I have always wanted to decorate my room to look like an AP store. It would be so magical if  I ever have a room that looks like that. I have to a few girls who have already decorated their rooms to be very pastel and dreamy.

With all that being said, this doesn't mean I'm not going to wear classic lolita or gothic lolita any more. I just like variety because it gets boring if one does the same thing over and over again. I'm just a little more addicted to sweet. 

*spoiler*
In addition, I'm going to share a booth with my friend Mochichan at Anime Expo 2011. We are going to sell a bunch of cute lolita accessories!! Stay tone for more things to come.
