Lolita Challenge 6: 10 things you can't live without in Lolita!

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 ). 

It was actually kind of hard to make a list of ten things I can't live without-- some were more obvious than others!

1. Just gonna throw it out there that I think the petticoat 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. 

2. Some sweet-ass shoes. 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.

4. Another Lolita staple most of us couldn't live without? The Purse. 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 with one of my purses. 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.

Some of my bags!

5.  Tea Parties! 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.

6. The Photos. 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.

7. Definitely can't live without the Hunt. I love nothing more than searching and scouring the Internet for that one item 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. 

8. Magazines and Mooks, such as the Gothic Lolita Bible. 

9. I couldn't do much without all the Inspiration from other Lolitas. Instagram, blogs, and daily Lolita co-ord posts on Facebook groups are wonderful. 

10. Money, sweet money. How could I buy all the burando without it? 

                                  

Well, thats it for now! Currently watching a bunch of creepy movies tonight 0_0

Bai bai!

Hiatus seriously over this time

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! 

I've been trying to post regularly on my Instagram , 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!

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.

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!

ありがとう!

Hiatus over!

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

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!

I had such a great time that weekend 

Keep an eye out on my page for all sorts of adventures over the past couple of months, Lolita and Liz Lisa purchases, more of the Lolita Challenge (I'm so behind!), My small feature in the latest volume of Gothic & Lolita Bible, and all about saving for my trip to Japan!

See you soon!

Lolita Challenge 4- 10 Different Kinds of Foods I Like

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 love food, most of it being the kinds that aren't good for me at all haha.

So here we go!

1. I've gotta say, pizza 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 pepperoni and/or four cheese. The East Indian restaurant here, Saffron, does the best four cheese pizza I've ever had.

2. Sushi/Sashimi. 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!

Weekly sushi, with a new roll this week, the Breezy roll!

3.  Potato chips. I've got a serious addiction to regular flavoured potato chips, but 

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.

4. Macarons. 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!

5. Dark chocolate. 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 Coffee Crisp!

6. Fried Chicken. 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

7. Steak. 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.

8. BACON!!!! 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

9. Plain rice with loads of butter and salt. 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.

10. Takoyaki! 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!

Well, thats it for now, the next challenge will be 10 things I will never do in Lolita!

See you then!
