<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello once again everyone! I'm finally back with more of my Lolita challenge. I'm really looking forward to getting back into this, even though I haven't really been wearing Lolita all that much lately or purchasing anything other than accessories (damn you wallet for not having enough funds when Castle Mirage came out T_T ). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was actually kind of hard to make a list of ten things I can't live without-- some were more obvious than others!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisjLTeBHnxWKql7WTUV8jXMK6Z4wBREWom9lifmx_57Jdzl0NeqXKdr0W1PU6SMlXihUJGdsc7PAP0X8Nv0ubHwFbIDOfoCh0t9-e9lhA_uRwPyReStEtCBUX28FqsSRES2UgI3GOaOqBH/s1600/heartroll.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisjLTeBHnxWKql7WTUV8jXMK6Z4wBREWom9lifmx_57Jdzl0NeqXKdr0W1PU6SMlXihUJGdsc7PAP0X8Nv0ubHwFbIDOfoCh0t9-e9lhA_uRwPyReStEtCBUX28FqsSRES2UgI3GOaOqBH/s1600/heartroll.gif" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Just gonna throw it out there that I think the <i><b>petticoat</b> </i>is the number one item I probably couldn't live without when it comes to Lolita. The poofier the dress, the more confident and princess-y I feel. I have been known to layer them to create the desired effect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Some <i style="font-weight: bold;">sweet-ass shoes. </i>No Lolita outfit is complete without a pair (or twelve pairs) of great shoes that complete the entire ensemble. Always a sucker for shoes, this is high on my list. And as we all know, Lolita brands and other Japanese brands have put out some greatttt shoes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Another Lolita staple most of us couldn't live without? <i style="font-weight: bold;">The Purse.</i> I love purses and have quite a few, and its kind of nice because some of my Loli purses can also be used for everyday, simpler Otome co-ords, or more dressy Hime style. Lolita fashion has so many stunning bags that I've lost count, and every co-ord I put together, I try to match <i>with one of my purses</i>. Even if you only have one special purse that can go with a few of your Lolita co-ords, its just so important to have.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Some of my bags!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Tea Parties! </i>I love high tea and tea parties so muchhhh. Whenever the local comm does a high tea get together, I try my best to be there. The tea, the snacks, the atmosphere- it's just one of my favorite parts of Lolita.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. <i style="font-weight: bold;">The Photos. </i>We take tons of photos at our meets, but even daily co-ord photos from friends or other Lolitas worldwide are a wonderful source of inspiration everyday. Documentation of all of our fun times and all of our super Derplita photos are the best thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. Definitely can't live without <i style="font-weight: bold;">the Hunt. </i>I love nothing more than searching and scouring the Internet for <i>that one item</i> I suddenly get an obsession with. Its fun to get in on it with other Lolitas as well, like when there's a particular release from AP or, like lately with a lot of other Lolitas I know, the Automatic Honey releases. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. Magazines and Mooks, such as the <b><i>Gothic Lolita Bible.</i></b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. I couldn't do much without all the <b style="font-style: italic;">Inspiration </b>from other Lolitas. Instagram, blogs, and daily Lolita co-ord posts on Facebook groups are wonderful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Money, sweet money. </i>How could I buy all the burando without it? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sorry once again that it's been ages since I posted. Back in January, I got my dream job position of working in a Library and I've just been so busy ever since! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been trying to post regularly on my <a href="https://instagram.com/princessskiwi/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> , and although I don't have a phone right now (I'm waiting for my new iPhone 6 to arrive), I will be posting a whole lot more once I have one again!</div>

I've really missed blogging these days, so starting later tonight I'm going to resume my Lolita Challenge, skipping Day 5 which would have been my Lolita wishlist, but since I don't really have a *small* wishlist it would be impossible to do the post, haha.<br />
<br />
Please be patient with me, I promise lots and lots of more outfit posts, hauls, and everything cute I can possibly get my hands on!<br />

Hello all. My, its been ages since I've posted on here! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I originally started writing back in August about the Angelic Pretty tea Party at Anime Revolution and meeting RinRin Doll, but somehow I never finished writing that post and lost the entire thing. I'll probably start writing about it again this week even thought it happened a number of months ago, but for now, here's a photo of RinRin and I!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello hello! I'm trying to get back on track with my Lolita Challenge, so here is my list of ten different kinds of foods that I like. It was hard for me to pick just ten types, because I <i>love </i>food, most of it being the kinds that aren't good for me at all haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here we go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. I've gotta say, <i style="font-weight: bold;">pizza </i>is probably my favourite food of all time, in a close tie for first with sushi. I've been obsessed with pizza since I was very young, especially <i>pepperoni </i>and/or <i>four cheese. </i>The East Indian restaurant here, Saffron, does the best four cheese pizza I've ever had.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. <b><i>Sushi/Sashimi</i></b>. You probably guessed. I absolutely love all types of sushi and sashimi, but when it comes down to it, I'd have to say my favourite roll is Spicy Tuna. I literally get it every single time I go for sushi, and like to try it at every new sushi restaurant I go to, because it seems to be different at every single one. I also have takeout sushi once a week with my good friend Enya, its becoming a weekly tradition now!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbiqESnAdFh9bt2tIRbxOcYbyWGHAPzOPTU75X4zARx-0FhXFItvRytQRAOQPo7bELHmbIXravjYtyjLiPDJbGc9RE19VocYXM18dyFrKd5-tIi-tXvy69NxUvT0x7MJkQE0EjWxyvZubv/s1600/sushi.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbiqESnAdFh9bt2tIRbxOcYbyWGHAPzOPTU75X4zARx-0FhXFItvRytQRAOQPo7bELHmbIXravjYtyjLiPDJbGc9RE19VocYXM18dyFrKd5-tIi-tXvy69NxUvT0x7MJkQE0EjWxyvZubv/s1600/sushi.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Weekly sushi, with a new roll this week, the Breezy roll!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Potato chips. </i>I've got a serious addiction to regular flavoured potato chips, but </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also love some of the spicier ones. Kettle Chips just put out a Sriracha flavour recently that I'm addicted to! My favourites also include Miss Vickies Regular, and one of my all-time favourites, Smartfood. If you don't have that in your country, Smartfood is basically popcorn covered in white cheddar cheese and it is the most delicious thing in the universe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Macarons. </i>I love the taste and consistency of macarons, especially strawberry, raspberry, and almond ones. My dad, who is a pastry chef, makes the most amazing raspberry ones ever!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Dark chocolate. </i>Yep, I am in love with chocolate. Up until recently I was eating chocolate every day, but decided to cut back a little, haha. I will probably eat any chocolate thats available, but my favourite bars are <b>Coffee Crisp</b>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Fried Chicken.</i> I just love the crunchy skin and taste, and my friend Jayce when he used to live close by would make the most amazing fried chicken wings for our movie nights. I would seriously eat 20 of those things in one go :3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Steak. </i>I don't get to eat it much, but when I do it certainly doesn't last long. I love BBQ steak too, with Montreal Steak Spice, and my boyfriend's parents do a really nice steak on the BBQ.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. <i style="font-weight: bold;">BACON!!!!</i> I don't know why this isn't at the top of the list! I love bacon so much! Give me a plate of bacon anyday....and you will probably also give me heart problems but it'll totally be worth it haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Plain rice with loads of butter and salt. </i>It may sound like a strange dish to some, but it is actually one of my favourite comfort foods. When I'm tired or watching videos or sad I will make myself a giant plate of steaming rice, stick a ton of butter on top, and throw salt all over it, and it makes me feel wayyyy better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Takoyaki! </i>I love the little balls filled with delicious octopus! I can't get it where I live, but whenever I go to the city I try to fill up on it as much as I can!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello everyone! It's taken me a while to update, but a couple of weeks ago I attended a lovely tea party in Vancouver, hosted by Fairytale Boutique! For those of you who don't know, <a href="https://www.fairytale-boutique.com/" target="_blank">Fairytale Boutique</a> hails from downtown Los Angeles. The store promotes kawaii fashion and culture as much as possible and they sell all sorts of wonderful Lolita clothing and accessories. Miki and Hayley were so sweet and I'm so glad I got to meet them and spend some time with them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4w3YtdGI_mCnaBriHpPB-a8Y7WWNyC2WhlQj1aBTY0gkttmWOLw9icQ04FTo0Mp3QTL_YjELetRPWQtzyNedfvgZBcffpDeAUkuqkRVbr09J04HIKTIikT71CTGWaB1ZVg0-ufn-JpRIc/s1600/heartroll.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4w3YtdGI_mCnaBriHpPB-a8Y7WWNyC2WhlQj1aBTY0gkttmWOLw9icQ04FTo0Mp3QTL_YjELetRPWQtzyNedfvgZBcffpDeAUkuqkRVbr09J04HIKTIikT71CTGWaB1ZVg0-ufn-JpRIc/s1600/heartroll.gif" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tea party was put on as part of North West Fan Fest, a cosplay and costume convention that was held for the weekend. I unfortunately didn't get to go for all three days (work impeding on Lolita life), but I went for the final day on Sunday, the same day the tea party was being held! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The theme of the tea party was "fairy-tale". At first I wasn't sure what kind of co-rd to go with. I had ideas about Little Bo Peep or some sort of princess, but in the end I decided to go as my own version of Goldilocks from Goldilocks and the Three Bears!</div>

I found out at the last minute that Fairytale Boutique's booth at the con would be carrying some of the latest <a href="http://automatichoney.com/" target="_blank">Automatic Honey</a> Moonlight Pegasus gear, in <i>special colours only released for Canada </i>and NWFF. I loveeeee Automatic Honey, and was really hoping to grab an item or two at the booth on Sunday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was unlucky with my timing however, and the last Pegasus necklace sold <i>minutes</i> before I showed up :'( My lovely friend Jen had grabbed the last two Moonlight Rings, one in each colour, and promised me the white one though! So next time I see her it shall be mine, OHO.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(And on a side note, one of the girls in the local community was selling her pink version of the Moonlight Pegasus necklace that she bought at NWFF and I saw it on Lace Market and scooped it!!! Lucky!)</div>

After hanging at the booth for a while, meeting up with some other Lolita friends, and general wandering about, it was time to go to the tea party. The tea party was actually being held off-site from the convention at a tea room in the middle of downtown Vancouver, called Patisserie Fur Elise. The patisserie is in a re-decorated, beautiful heritage home tucked right into the heart of the city, and is one of my favourite places to have tea and purchase delicious macarons! </div>

The patisserie is literally <i>one of the most beautiful places to sit and have a full tea service. </i>We got right to ordering and it didn't take long before our treats arrived, along with our individual teas we had all chosen. I picked the Honey-Scented tea this time around, which has a delightful flavour!</div>

As we went through our cute little goody bags that each attendee got, our first mini course arrived.</div>

After we stuffed ourselves full on everything, it was time for the raffle! I won some tickets to an alternative fashion show in the city, which I ended up giving away, but there were some great other prizes up for grabs!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then there was official introductions/co-ord explanations where we each had to get up and say what brand our dress was/what character we were inspired by.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After we drank some more tea and chatted, there was a surprise announcement of a <i>co-ord judging</i> by Miki and Hayley! There would be two winners, and each one would win something from the Boutique! After they quickly decided, my friend Amy won second place for her <i>amazing</i> <b>Maleficent </b>inspired co-ord....and I won first prize!! I was so honoured and happy!! Miki and Hayley both said that I looked like I stepped out of the pages of a <i>Gothic Lolita Bible</i> and that my co-ord was fantastic *flattered*.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello everyone! Today its all about ten things that I hate in Lolita. While that is a hard topic, there are a few things that I can say I "dislike", more than actually hate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's get to it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhybCurG30MPE4cBFhwdh9EgM9LRWDk1utJZ2Ijo9cs9fiwvB904gGgbKvQHywtg2ibNAWIaAPTP5DtsVU9KUnrF-RTCFov59ob5yqpnhXR8ZUStoCPT4GdWJMr9UjclOwwsA2aSkIE3_mo/s1600/graphics-kawaii-067042.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhybCurG30MPE4cBFhwdh9EgM9LRWDk1utJZ2Ijo9cs9fiwvB904gGgbKvQHywtg2ibNAWIaAPTP5DtsVU9KUnrF-RTCFov59ob5yqpnhXR8ZUStoCPT4GdWJMr9UjclOwwsA2aSkIE3_mo/s1600/graphics-kawaii-067042.gif" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. I really dislike Lolita dresses that are <b>Empire-waist style</b>. I have nothing against other Lolitas who wear the style, some pull it off so well, but it just gives me the overall appearance of looking super pregnant. It has never looked good to me, and even though I unfortunately own a couple of dresses in that style, you usually won't find me wearing it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>NO.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. I actually don't like<b> knee socks</b>, especially with my legs. I love the prints on knee socks, and think they look super cute with most co-ords, but I just can't wear them. My legs are a little longer and I hate how they make my knees look really knobby. They also tend to give the illusion that my dress is actually shorter on me than it is, so I mostly stick to OTK's (over-the-knee socks) or light tights.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. The odd <b>sizing</b> in Lolita. It's probably just because I'm a tall dorky Anglo-saxon kind of girl, but I always find sizing wonky on the dresses. Aside from Mary Magdalene, the dresses in other brands will have sleeves that are too short, bust circumferences that are too tight, lengths that are too short, and even neck closures that are too tight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. The <b>negativity </b>and the <b>"costume" aspect</b>. I realize a lot of people have never seen Lolita fashion before, but like with any alternative fashion, theres always the negative comments from people and other people who think you are wearing some sort of costume or playing dress up. I've heard "It's not Halloween you know" quite often from random people, as well as "Why do you want to wear puffy little girl dresses?" and other negative comments. Also, "I love your costume, are you Alice in Wonderland?/in a play/going to a party/a performer?" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
um</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. <b>Prints selling out so fast</b>!! I can't believe how hard it is to get one of the new dresses once its popularity catches like wildfire, such as the new AP Crystal Dream Carnival series. I just troll the sales sites everyday hoping someone will decide they didn't like the dress after they bought it and sell it, but with some dresses the seller will capitalize on the fact that the dress is a much- sought after piece and try to sell it for ridiculous amounts that no Lolita can pay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6.People thinking that Lolita fashion has to do with the book of the same name by Vladimir Nabokov. <b><u>IT DOES NOT.</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, as soon as someone asks you what type of fashion you are wearing, or you are trying to explain the fashion/lifestyle to someone who has never heard of it before, once they hear the word "Lolita" they seem to just stop listening, or the famous words come out:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Oh....like the book...."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So right away they think its something sleazy and immoral, meant to attract older men, when in fact Lolita is mainly about modesty and elegance (for me at least).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7.<b> Having to starve</b> at times to buy dresses. It's happening right now, it will very likely happen again. I make myself broke because a new dress comes out, or more than one dream dress or dress from my wish list pop up on the sales sites at the same time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. Really <b>baby-infant</b> prints. AP, what were you thinking when you did Dreamy Baby Room? I know many Lolitas, as well as myself, that shuddered inwardly. It was a sad day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. The elitism/bashing that can go on internally within the Lolita world. Enough said, its just really sad to see sometimes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10.<b> The amount of time it can take to get ready. </b>I usually pride myself on being able to get ready fast, but sometimes it just takes way too long. All the little things that go into making one big, flawless co-ord can take forever to get on your body in just the right way. Sometimes hours!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, thats it for now, next time it will be ten foods I like! Can't wait for that one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The other day I was browsing <a href="http://lacemarket.net/" target="_blank">Lace Market</a> and I noticed someone had listed a gorgeousness Triple Fortune bonnet. I have always loved the designs of 3F''s bonnets and hats, so I just couldn't resist (although my bank account was screaming. Actual screaming.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So in the next couple of days, this should be arriving in the mail so I can fawn all over it and place it on an altar somewhere in my house so it can be admired forever until those days that I wear it:</div>

I'm currently trying to put together a fairy-tale inspired co-ord for the Royal de la Fee tea party event later this month in the city. I have a feeling the new 3F bonnet will be incorporated somehow...so keep an eye out for photos soon! Also, if you have any suggestions of what fairy-tale character I should base my outfit on or gain inspiration from, please let me know!</div>

This challenge is a lot harder than it would seem, since its really hard to pin down just <i>a few </i>things that I love about Lolita. I love it all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. I think the main thing I love about Lolita is the dresses themselves, and the way they make me feel once I'm wearing them. I always feel like a <i><b>princess</b>, </i>and like I've completely escaped from the mundane, everyday life that I lead when I go to and from work. These are the kind of clothes I feel the most comfortable and elegant in, something I want to wear everyday because it feels like the <i>real me. </i>I've never felt comfortable in a t-shirt, and I won't go ten feet anywhere near a pair of jeans.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. I really love hunting for/collecting prints and <b><i>dream dresses</i></b>. I've been a collector of things since I was little, and once I love something I will basically stop at nothing to have it in my possession (like spend all my food money for the month or sell all of my casual clothing haha). I just find it so thrilling and satisfying to nab one of those dresses or pieces you've been after for ages, especially if it happens to be at a good price. Certain prints will just stand out for me, especially things lately like <i><b>carousels, strawberries, fawns, fairytales, and chocolate themes</b></i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

3. I love<b><i> co-ordinating outfits</i></b>, or creating an outfit based on the <b><i>theme</i></b> of a meet-up or a theme I've always wanted to portray. Whether it be twinning with someone else, or just creating an everyday look to go for tea, its so much fun to think up a wonderful outfit to wear!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. The cute and fun lifestyle that comes with Lolita. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. The <b style="font-style: italic;">accessories and headwear. </b>Oh goddddd the accessories. I'm such a ring addict to start with, but all the hats, bonnets, bracelets and other accessories that come with Lolita are some of the cutest/ most beautiful things I've ever seen. Anything adorned with bows, candy, crosses, bears, cats or bunnies literally has me draining my bank account on the spot. T_T</div>

6. The anticipation of new prints coming out. Even if you love them or hate them, waiting to see the latest sets is exciting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. The <b><i>diversity</i></b> of Lolita. There are so many sub-genres that you can have total freedom to find your own Lolita style, whether it be <b><i>gothic, classic, sweet, or punk</i></b>. I've gone through a number of different style changes when it comes to Lolita! Each style is completely gorgeous in it's own way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. The <i style="font-weight: bold;">meet-ups and community! </i>I honestly love going to meet ups whenever I can and seeing all the girls. Everyone is so nice and accepting, and this lifestyle wouldn't be the same without them. It's great to see everyone's outfits and go on crazy and fun adventures.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9. Seeing other Lolita's <b><i>outfits and ideas</i></b> at meet ups or online and <b><i>getting super inspired</i></b>. There's nothing like going to a meet-up or reading another Lolita's blog and seeing what they do and their co-ords. It really gets me excited about trying different outfits or new co-ords I hadn't thought about previously, or leads me to buy items or dresses I didn't know about. I also love it when I see other girls get inspired by seeing Lolita for the first time or from seeing other girl's outfits!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10. <b><i>The wait</i></b> for a Lolita package of goodies. I basically turn into Scott Pilgrim when it comes to ordering anything Lolita. I will pretty much wait by the door the moment after I order something and will constantly check for package updates online. It's a good thing I live right across from the post office and also work at the Postal outlet down the road, because I have access to my things almost instantly :D</div>

It was hard to know where to start, so I'll try and list what I think are the most important things, and see how it goes!<br />

1. I started becoming interested in Lolita when I was about 14, but I didn't go to my first meet-up until <i>I was about 20</i>! I remember the first time I ever saw Lolita fashion, back when my best friend and I used to MSN each other back and forth (ah, the good old days of MSN). We were nerdy little Otaku girls who shared a mutual bond with our love of everything Japan, and one day she sent me a photo of this girl in the most amazing outfit I had ever seen in my entire life. She said it was this cool style she had just discovered, called Lolita. As Momoko says in Kamikaze girls, "The old me was slain"! Everything about the style embodied what I wanted to be, what I had ever <i>dreamed </i>of being. I immediately looked for stores online to buy Lolita clothing ( I died internally that day when I discovered how expensive it was), and of course stumbled across....Bodyline. My friend and I marvelled at what we thought was good quality, inexpensive Burando and both ordered something. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Needless to say, we thought we were pretty cool when our items showed up. Looking back, the jacket I bought wasn't even Lolita at all hahaha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I got a job a few years later, I finally managed to save up for actual brand, and haven't looked back since! I discovered the local Lolita community at 19 and shyly went to my first meet at 20. </div>

2. My favourite brand of all time is <a href="http://www.marymagdalene.jp/">Mary Magdalene</a>. I just love the perfect, elegant cuts and fabric of the dresses, which fit me probably the best out of all the brands I've ever tried/own. I can successfully say that I've liked every single dress they've ever put out, which is rare for me to say about most brand. Their stock photos are just the most perfect things ever too ._.; </div>

3. At first, OTT Sweet Lolita was not my thing <u style="font-style: italic;"><b>at all</b>.</u> I completely appreciated other girls who could pull it off, but it just wasn't for me. These days though, I am in love with some of the co-ords and dresses, and feel more open to doing this style, or a classical-sweet version. Lately, I've been sticking to classical themes, as well as pastel colours like <b><i>pale pink, creams, and light blue. </i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. I was very heavily into Gothic Lolita at first, probably up until at least two years ago. I still love creating gothic co-ords whenever I can, but mostly leave it for the darker-themed meet-ups these days!</div>

5. I get the majority of my dresses, accessories, and other bits from the <a href="http://egl-comm-sales.livejournal.com/" target="_blank">Comm Sales</a>, <a href="http://lacemarket.net/" target="_blank">Lace Market</a>, or through the local Lolita community girls. I'm not so good at the Comm Sales, but I absolutely love Lace Market lately.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. I tried making a few of my own Lolita pieces a while ago, back when I was more of an avid sewer. I just don't have the time anymore to whip up something majestic or cute, but in the past I have made skirts, over-skirts, lacy wrist cuffs, flower crowns, petticoats, and even bloomers! I really want to get back into making things, hopefully sometime this century ya'll.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. I've slowed right down when it comes to buying dresses in the last two years- mainly because I rent my own little kawaii house and its expensive to do both sometimes -_-; But I still put aside Burando monies!!! Or starve for a couple weeks when I see a dress I want hahaha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. My house is completely 100% branded kawaii. I have so many cute things I've hoarded since I was a teenager that there is very little room to sit or even move! My couches have been taken over by Hello Kitty and a pack of Alpacasso, and theres little toys, trinkets, plushies, mementos, and general cuteness everywhere. I'll actually post photos of this madness one day soon....when I have it contained.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9. I am accepting of everyone's Lolita fashion choices, and I really dislike any elitism or bullying that I see on some sites and other places. Lolita for me is about having fun with the style and creating a look for who you want to be. There is no age limit or hardcore rules that must be followed, as long as you love the style and are kind to others as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10. I love the Vancouver/Seattle Lolita community! Everyone is so nice and I've always loved going to the meet-ups, even if I don't make it to all that many because I live away from Vancouver in a more secluded area, my job hours suck sometimes... No matter what we do, It's always a fun experience and I love meeting new friends, seeing all the amazing co-ords and taking time to catch up with all the talented people that come out to the meet-ups!</div>

I feel bad for such a lack of posts on my blog! It's not that I haven't been doing anything interesting with my life, I've just been <i>so busy </i>with work and everything else that has been cropping up these days that I haven't even <i>thought</i> about sitting down to write a decent blog post.<br />
<br />
For the last couple of weeks, I've been creeping the lovely <a href="http://milkyfawn.blogspot.ca/">Milkyfawn's</a> blog, which for me is always a huge source of inspiration, whether it be her wonderful co-ordinations, meet-up photos, or just her day to day life posts. I noticed that she had been taking part in the 30 day Lolita challenge, and it seemed to me like a lot of fun! I've always wanted to do something like that when it comes to Lolita, so as of tonight, I'm giving it a goooooo :3<br />
<br />
(It's probably obvious at this point that due to my previous lack of consistent blog posts, this is going to take a lot longer than 30 days. Bear with me, it will still be awesome!)<br />
<br />

<br />
I haven't been posting anything on here lately because I was having a lot of problems with my phone recently, and I was unable to upload any photos to my computer :( Everything seems to be alright now though!<br />
<br />
I received HaeNuLi's Enchanted Fawn print a couple of weeks ago, after the pre-order back in November. The reserve was only open for one week for this lovely print, so I ordered the "Fawn" coloured version of the one piece dress right away.<br />
<br />
Here is the original stock photo:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
HaeNuLi Shin herself is very good about communication after you have ordered, and is very polite and helpful! Once I made my payment for the dress, she kept me updated at every stage along the way; when she received my payment, when the dress was nearing completion, and when the dress was packaged and sent.<br />
Once the dress had been sent, it reached me extremely quickly.<br />
<br />
Here is my dress!<br />

The fabric was a little different than I expected. The photo made it look like a light, soft fabric, but it is actually a little thicker. Still lovely nonetheless! The inside lining is very nice, and sewn very well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The waist sits a lot higher than it does in the stock photo. I also have a little bit of bunching that goes on where the fabric is ruched at the back. It looked a little awkward at first, but after a few times of trying it on, that seemed to sort itself out. The rest of the dress fits perfectly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The print itself is quite beautiful. Here is a closeup of just one part:</div>

<br /></div>
After browsing Instagram about a couple of weeks before Christmas, I noticed that many girls were buying or had been given the gift of an adorable Soap and Glory gift set, a product I have used in the past and quite enjoyed because of its unique retro packaging and the product's overall quality. Many girls claimed that the sets were quite easy to find, and had been bought from their local drug store. As I work as a Cosmetician at a Shoppers Drug Mart, where we actually carry the Soap and Glory line, I was really excited to get my hands on one of these cute little sets and treat myself to the smaller-sized versions of the S&G line. As time got closer to Christmas, our store still didn't seem to be carrying the sets, and I was starting to give up on getting excited every time I unpacked a box of cosmetics merchandise for the store.<br />
<br />
It wasn't until around New Year's Eve that the sets arrived in our store. And, to my delight, they were on for nearly half price, as they were considered Christmas stock and have to be cleared out of the store pretty quickly to make way for the new products coming in (Hello, Valentine's Day).<br />
<br />
I grabbed the All Things Bright and Bubbly set, and that night took a very long bath so I could try out all of the products.<br />

Lets start with the <u>Calm One Calm All Bubbling Bath Soak!</u></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUPzXiV9Aq1oEPCU0GN_Vm01VeDDklFzERNpqlR6p2X34AgSnQZThkf0ZzC-LO_hcQkTPPuw_m6_Z0lDYjlUUkOKeQzui0DC9de9CwDkDPyOsJwtdQNoRMy3LIyzLqs5b_aEszqsivrSj/s1600/bubblebath1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUPzXiV9Aq1oEPCU0GN_Vm01VeDDklFzERNpqlR6p2X34AgSnQZThkf0ZzC-LO_hcQkTPPuw_m6_Z0lDYjlUUkOKeQzui0DC9de9CwDkDPyOsJwtdQNoRMy3LIyzLqs5b_aEszqsivrSj/s1600/bubblebath1.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For anyone who hasn't tried Soap and Glory products before, the first thing you might notice is that pretty much every product they put out has their signature scent, "Original Pink", which they describe as a a citrus scent with notes such as bergamot, summer rose, peach, jasmine, and lush musks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It sure smells good to me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The packaging is pretty cute and has little facts and other musings all over it. The bubble bath also claims to have a body lotion built in, so I thought I would wait for a while before I applied any of the Righteous Body Butter that came in the set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It says to use a couple of capfuls to get a lot of bubbles, but I decided to just put one capful in to see what happens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started pouring in....</div>

This picture actually doesn't do the bubbles any justice. For just a capful, I had a LOT of bubbles that ended up lasting a really long time, more than most of the other bubble soaks i've tried. The bubbles also smelled amazing :3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As for the built-in lotion, I would say that my skin did feel quite moisturized after the bath, and the scent of the bubbles was nice and light on my skin.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really liked this product. It wasn't too abrasive, but it was still nice and thick and actually foams up quite nicely. I found that it really helped with a couple of my dry skin areas, such as my knees, and left them feeling a lot softer and smoother than they have in a long time! If you've got any rough spots you want to get rid of on your body, this product definitely helps.</div>

<u>Clean On Me Shower Gel</u></h3>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Clean On Me Shower Gel also claims to have a built in body lotion, so I decided to forego the Righteous Butter altogether at this point. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This product also contains a natural mandarin peel extract.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Like the Scrub, the gel lathers up remarkably and you don't really need to use that much. It has a nice and creamy feel that leaves the skin feeling silky and soft afterwards, and also very clean. You can even use the gel as a shave foam, which I was a little reluctant to try at first. I usually have problems using regular shave foam, as my skin is really sensitive and I will get horrible red itchy blotches and the occasional ingrown hair, but this gel does wonders!</div>

The Righteous Butter is the first S&G product that I ever tried a few years ago. I really enjoyed the feel and scent of it back then, and I still enjoy it now. The butter is really thick and feels so nice on the skin. My skin is often quite oily, but this product does not leave an oily residue or that slimy feel that a lot of body butters can cause. Instead, my skin always feels soft and moisturized once the butter quickly absorbs into the skin, leaving the nice, light smell of the Original Pink scent that lingers throughout the day. The original sized container usually lasts quite a long time from what I remember, and is definitely one of my favourites!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm liking this product so far. My hands are sometimes dry in patches, not just from the cold weather right now, but also because I have to work with a lot of cardboard and paper items at all my work positions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I find that this hand cream is nice and light, non-greasy, and sinks in quickly. After a short time, my hands feel nice and hydrated, a lot softer, and smell great. I'm hoping that it will also help out a bit around my cuticles, because that seems to be dry at the moment too. I have a feeling I will be applying this cream many times a day, as I'm already addicted!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, I'm really enjoying my Soap and Glory set and definitely recommend the line to anyone with dry skin or anyone that just loves as good bath as much as I do. Sit back and pamper yourself with some lovely bubbles and soothing scrubs and lotions from this line, you certainly won't regret it!!\</div>
