Hamburg & the Grand Lolita Tea Party - Part II

Before the last LBC post I had taken a bit of a break from blogging, so actually it's time to say:
 "Long time no see!"

I've reworked the design of my blog a bit in the hope to make it easier and more comfortable to read - hopefully I've achieved that; I'm quite content with it so far.

Finally I'm managing to finish this! ...how do people say?
"Better late than never." :P

On the second day of the GLTP Hamburg Dani and I got ready and took off directly to the city hall after taking some pictures.

Lolita Blog Carnival - If you could run a Japanese brand for a day, what types of designs would you push?

Welcome to my first Lolita Blog Carnival entry!
I'm glad to participate, this way I can get new ideas and topics to share here.

So, onto the topic of this week's Lolita Blog Carnival:
"If you could run a Japanese brand for a day, what types of designs would you push?"


♥ Babushkas
There are already so many prints showcasing cats and bunnies, but not too many babushka prints yet! I could imagine a more classical or even gothic babushka print, by using more jewel tones or dark shades.

Already existing examples by Emily Temple Cute and Lief

♥ One more shameless Harry Potter inspired print
Give me Hogwarts castle during christmas time, the feast in the great hall or even scenes like the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets; I'd take them all.

Fanplusfriend already made a good example.

 ♥ Bringing on the vintage spirit
They fit well with classic and likewise otome style - hats ranging from straw hats or cloche hats to  birdcage headpieces. Those are accessories which would bring some freshness to the headgear department instead of just bringing out another headbow.

♥ Go crazy with bags
Bags in more crazy shapes! For instance I'd love to see an owl bag matching to the HP inspired print or a babushka/ matryoshka shaped bag to its matching main piece. Maybe a bag in the shape of a pirate ship to match pirate lolita? Or in a skull shape? I have a bat bag which I love to bits!

Hamburg & the Grand Lolita Tea Party - Part I

Hello hello!

I've been travelling again, so there's finally something more exciting to write about!
The Grand Lolita Tea Party itself has been extensively discussed and gossiped about online, so I'm not going to add anything to that.

On Thursday 18th I already had arrived in Hamburg by bus and visited the Planetarium, which was really nice!

In the evening Dani joined me at the hostel and we met up with Kyra and Michaela for dinner. It was so much fun, the food and cocktails were delicious!

Pizza + cocktails = :D <3

Bring & Buy Mini Haul and Dear Celine blouses review

Hello there!

I'm back again and I'm going to throw this post in here - I've been wanting to post about this for months - before I post about some more recent stuff which has been happening!

So a good while ago the Gothic Lolita Austria community held a 'Bring & Buy' event for J-Fashion. I went there with the intenion to buy only what I 'need' at the moment, but oh well...
The items are somewhat in the categories of what I wanted though, so it's cool anyways ;)

I got this BTSSB cutsew in black and white. I really love the lace on the collar and the little details, as well as the colour combination in general.

✵ Music Discoveries : No Frills Twins ✵

Back again!

This time with a series that I'd like to start doing on this blog.
Say hello to 'Music Discoveries' !

Whenever I find time to do so and am energetic enough I like to roam around the internet, on the lookout for fresh, good music!

It happens quite often that I get hooked on some good new stuff  - and this I'd like to share.
Time to spread some music! (•ˇ‿ˇ•)

...onto tonight's catch!

Stumbled across them while browsing through YouTube and now I can't stop listening:

NO FRILLS TWINS

 

June, a true Lolita Event Month

Hello hello again!

I'm really lucky this month it seems - even though I'm kind of buried in exams and studies there are some Lolita related events happening in June about which I'm really excited! (* >ω<)

1. Last weekend was the summer season's International Lolita Day!

2. I'm going to attend the Grand Lolita Tea Party in Hamburg from 19-20th of June!

3. On the 28th some Austrian Lolitas will travel to Gmund, where we will take a boat trip and go out for some delicious food together!

 I'm SO excited about all of them!

Le portrait de Marie

Hello there!

 I've had quite a busy week so far! Today I wrote my first exam for this semester and it went really well (I'm so relieved it did!). Still, I have a second VERY big one coming up on Tuesday, so no rest for the wicked!
 ｡.ﾟ+:((ヾ(｡･ω･)ｼ)).:ﾟ+｡

Besides all the studying I recieved a lovely parcel this week!
Let me tell you a little story first.

After having spent trizillions of hours in front of my laptop gawking at this dress and whining over the expenses I would have to make and tossing and turning it over again and again... one year had passed and I still hadn't bought that dress.

Just recently I finally thought 'OK, I can afford it, I will buy it as soon as I have time.' and then lab week came up and I was all buried in work again. After that week was over I went online to buy it and... it was sold out.
