Lolita 30 ~ Day 30 ~ End

Day 30 – A photo of yourself taken today and 3 good things that have happened over the last 30 days.

Sorry, my webcam doesn't work D= so this one from yesterday will have to do!


1 - Meeting other lolitas. Really makes me feel like I'm part of something special as opposed to just a frilly weirdo.

2 - Seeing Foo Fighters! (Was that within the last 30 days?) It reignited my love for music.

3 - Seeing Kanon Wakeshima! Meeting her was great, but seeing her perform was just incredible.

Pictures of me with Kanon =D




Apologies for the delay in posting about Hyper Japan! I've written up about the whole weekend but my photos are still stuck on Rob's camera. If I don't get the pictures within the next few days, I'll post them up bare or just using pictures I find elsewhere.

Lolita 30 ~ Day 29 ~ Lolita I'd Like To Meet

Day 29 – A picture of a lolita you would love to meet for real.

No one in particular...I'm happy to meet anyone!

Although I should be meeting Kanon Wakeshima this weekend, which is pretty exciting.


But then I'll also be meeting many other lolitas too!


I will be at Hyper Japan for the weekend, so the last challenge item will be posted when I get, hopefully with lots of pictures and happy things to write about!

Lolita 30 ~ Day 28 ~ Lolita Location

Day 28 – A picture of the perfect lolita location.

The palace of Versailles!



I'd love to go there some day, it's so over the top and beautiful, plus it's full of history!

I'd love to wear a Rococo gown someday too...I hope I get a chance to!

As for locally, I think my city is perfect for a lolita to stroll around! However, the locals seem not to think so and the tourists just treat you like a tourist attraction D= but many of the streets are such that you can imagine ladies of times past in their finery strolling in the sun.


The iconic Royal Crescent~

Loltia 30 ~ Day 27 ~ Lolita Song

Day 27 – One song that fits your favorite lolita style.

...Music is music. Fashion is fashion. Stop trying to make me match up the two because they don't. I love sweet lolita and I listen mostly to light rock music, they don't exactly match up. And besides, I made a whole post where I struggled to pick lolita-esque songs already!


Heh sorry I'm in a bad mood as I seem to be tired constantly and my mum is getting on my nerves. She said she'd buy me a tattoo for my birthday...my birthday was 5 months ago. Everytime I bring it up she's all like 'LOL BUT U NO LYK NEEDLES' even though I hate jabs because they're unnecessary and I hate the needle going into muscle and the pain of when they squeeze the liquid into you. That's nothing like a tattoo. Then she says 'U NO HANDLE PAIN' and it's like bitch, please. She has no idea =/ I can't even say why but I'm sure it's pretty obvious. I just want my fucking tattoo and I'm not spending my own money on it when I'm owed. And she's just a cow anyway. I have no freedom and I'm not allowed to do anything. I'm sure I'll get kicked offline soon enough, but I'm not allowed to play video games or read either, and I live in the middle of nowhere with no friends. So god knows what she expects me to do (oh work probably, despite there being no jobs and I don't bloody need or want to).

There are other things bugging me right now but I really can't write about that...and I have no one to talk to. So forgive me if I'm going a little mad.


Ehem. I also got to see Deathly Hallows Pt. II last night. I thought it was really good! Though young Lily's eyes were BROWN which naturally caused me to gesticulate in a silent 'Y UR EYES NO GREEN?!' for a few minutes. I also realised I was kinda in denial before...I am sad it's over! The series has been a part of my life for the last 12 or so years!

I got a theme outfit together in the end too, but didn't get a photo. Black tee, tights and boots with blue tutu skirt, nail varnish, eyeshadow and pendant. And my temporary tattoo!


I was the only person there in house colours though...I thought more people would dress up! But apparently not ^_^'

Lolita 30 ~ Day 26 ~ Facebook Photo

Day 26 – Your Facebook profile picture.


I've been meaning to change it, but have no nice pictures of myself so I haven't xP


Off to see the new Harry Potter movie later! Trying to figure out a themed outfit...but I don't have anything! I'm a Ravenclaw and I've only found 2 blue things in my entire wardrobe and can't really make an outfit. In fact, I only have green stuff...but I don't want to go as a smelly Slytherin =/ bahaha.

Lolita 30 ~ Day 25 ~ Lolita Artwork

Day 25 – Your favorite lolita themed artwork.

...er, what? They're just clothes, and while I may be more involved than I ever have been with other styles I still don't stalk everything slightly lolita-related.

So I'm just going to say prints count, my favourite being Sugary Carnival.


This challenge is now almost over, which is a shame as I'll have very little to post about...but I'll be glad to stop spamming you guys!

Lolita 30 ~ Day 24 ~ Lolita Meet

Day 24 – A picture of you from a meet.


Only just realised how odd-one-out I am, being the only person in dark colours!

I've only been to 2 proper meets, I hope to go to more though! So disappointed that I miss the Bristol Zoo meet again this year...if I can't go to it next year too I shall cry! But I shuld get to meet lots of lovely ladies at Hyper Japan next weekend!

Lolita 30 ~ Day 23 ~ Handwriting

Day 23 – A picture of your handwriting.


My preliminary packing list for Hyper Japan!

I have really recognisable handwriting...mainly as I don't use lower-case t! I think my handwriting looks nice, but is really hard to read. Pretty, but not practical. Which just about sums up what lolita is as well =P

Lolita 30 ~ Day 23 ~ My Room

Day 22 – A picture of your room.





In my defence, my old bedroom was way bigger than this one, I never used to have a double bed (and I really don't need one) and of course I'd moved away for university. So I now have 2 rooms worth of stuff crammed into one smallish room (with some rather drastic overspill into my bf's room baha).

I'm in the middle of sorting through my wardrobes trying to get rid of clothes, but that's gonna take a few rounds of sorting. I've also shoved all my unpacked junk in one place from when I sorted out the first wardrobe. I haven't gotten any further than that!

This is far from my dream bedroom anyway. I'd wanted the teal all the way around, or some aubergine walls. Despite my mum saying I coud have whatever I wanted, surprise surprise I wasn't allowed. And so I have this crappy blue colour for most of my room, even though it isn't my kind of colour at all and I don't really like it =/ I also hate the wood (so orange D=) but wasn't allowed to varnish it darker. Grr.

Lolita 30 ~ Day 21 ~ Fictional Lolita

Day 21 – Your favorite fictional lolita.

...To be honest I don't know that many actual lolitas. If I was to pick a vaguely lolita styled one, it would have to be Cardcaptor Sakura! But yeah, she isn't a lolita...but some of her costumes are lolita-esque.


So I suppose I shall have to be boring and say Momoko. I do like her as she reminds me of me (not that that is a good thing). I love the book of Shimotsuma Monogatari also, so I love the way 'she' writes too.


I also like Anju from Karin/Chibi Vampire, but her dub character puts me off saying she's my favourite (seriously, the voices in the dub were SO TERRIBLE).

Lolita 30 ~ Day 20 ~ Lolita Friend

Day 20 – A picture of a lolita friend.


Bexy! She was the first lolita I met IRL...I remember once standing by her at the bus stop freaking out silently as she was wearing Bodyline shoes!...but I was too shy to say anything that time xP

We haven't been able to go to a meet together yet, but I hope we do soon. Her style is awesome and I'd love to twin with her someday!

Lolita 30 ~ Day 19 ~ Lolita Make

Day 19 – What’s in your make-up bag?

...make-up? DUH haha.

I have 2 bags, one with everything shoved in (and hanging out) and another which contains make-up I'm going to use. I switch the stuff in it around depending on what I'm likely to need for whatever occasion. That said, there's always a mascara in there and I very rarely use it!

I'll spare you a photo as it's pretty boring...at the moment it contains black mascara, an eyeshadow palette (pale pink, gold and gold-black), eyeshadow brush, teal eyeshadow, 3 eyeliners (white, black and teal) and some teal nailpolish.

When I go to Hyper Japan it'll contain black and blue mascaras, my eyeshadow palette, sparkly eyeshadow, pink eyeshadow, possibly a blue one too for blending, my eyeshadow brush, Hello Kitty blush, lipgloss, black and white eyeliners, shimmer stick, Hello Kitty mirror and pink or white nailpolish. Probably some perfume too.

And that's pretty much all the different make-up I use, except sometime purple or black eyeshadow and many MANY different nailpolishes!

Lolita 30 ~ Day 18 ~ Lolita Substyle

Day 18 – A picture of your favorite lolita style.

Eeeeeh that's so hard! I love pretty much all of the substyles! But I suppose I'll go for what I wear most, the style I fell for first - sweet lolita.


While I also like OTT, I prefer a more subdued modern sweet. The wig in this photo is a little too much, but that's just my personal taste (and the fact that I'm really lazy with my own hair).

Lolita 30 ~ Day 17 ~ Lolita Want

Day 17 – What do you want more than anything right now?

Well, lolita-wise I want Chess Chocolate!

Yes, unsurprisingly my opinions have changed since I made my last post on it.


Thinking of trying for the skirt, but not sure. I want the green but I'd have nothing to match, whereas pink would be a safer option. I love the military style JSK but the lack of border print is a shame =[ The OP is ugly though. Sorry, it just is =P

Well I suppose the normal JSK or skirt in any colour other than the cream (which reminds me of sweetcorn) would be nice. But I think it's already all reserved up so I'll have a hard time getting anything.

And as for the parallels with Melty Chocolate and Antique Clock...it reminds me more of Starry Night Theater in an odd way. Anyone else have thoughts on that?

Lolita 30 ~ Day 16 ~ Daily Outfit

Day 16 – Your outfit for the day.

Well, I can't wear lolita in the holidays, and also this was what I wore yesterday (silly laptop took about 14 hours to update so I couldn't post this yesterday).


And yeah, no way of taking full-body photos while at home. Boo!

I wore a teal dress from GAP with matching pumps from QS, black tights and black cardigan. Pretty boring, but needed to cover up my sunburnt shoulders!

Lolita 30 ~ Day 15 ~ Lolita Purchase

Day 15 – A picture of your last lolita purchase.

My last purchase hasn't arrived yet and so I cannot provide detailed images (though rest assured, I will make a big post with loads of photographs when it arrives!).

Let me not keep up the suspense any longer! Lo and behold!


Angelic Pretty's Candy Pop bag in saxXpink!

It was a total impulse buy...I already have tons of bags but I'm hoping to get some sax into my wardrobe and figured I could sell it on if I don't get around to using it.

Lolita 30 ~ Day 14 ~ Lolita Dream

Day 14 – A picture of your dream item.

I already included my dream item in a previous post - Sugary Carnival!

I'm lucky enough to own this beauty of a print in black skirt and pink JSK, although my original dream was the JSK in either black or sax!

Since I posted the black colourway before, here it is in sax:

Lolita 30 ~ Day 13 ~ Lolita Sweets

Day 13 – A picture of your favorite sweets.

Why are there so many questions that are unrelated to lolita? Not that I am complaining, there's only so much you can say about a fashion!

My favourite sweets (as I am sure you have all gathered by now) are Skittles. I have a pack to hand most of the time in case of a fruity emergency!

Lolita 30 ~ Day 12 ~ Before Lolita

Day 12 – A picture of yourself before lolita came in to your life.

Ergh I went through a 'wearing lots of bright, clashing colours' phase before discovering Japanese fashion in general (rebelling against the goth I was for years beforehand). Then I became better dressed, I swear.



lol bad posture is bad (trying very hard to correct it haha)

Lolita 30 ~ Day 11 ~ Lolita Day

Day 11 – One day in your lolita life in pictures.

Eh...I don't see how I can do this in pictures. Not least because I can't have a lolita life until I move out again.

But most of my lolita days are exactly the same as ordinary days, just with different clothes. Apart from meets, but that's just meeting up with frilly friends and having picnics, going to tearooms and sightseeing, which are all things I'd be doing with regular friends, no?

Well, I suppose I take much longer getting ready on lolita days. I always wear make-up and try to accessorise a little when wearing lolita, when I don't always other days. And all the layers take ages to put on. And I'll get slightly more dirty looks and mean comments from strangers when out, but even when I wear ordinary clothes I get these things a little too (I really don't understand why =/).

Ha sorry this post has been boring. I just don't see the point in the question and I'd have to delay the entry by a month if I was going to do it properly, and I've already fallen behind!
