Lolita Blog Carnival - 3 Favourite Brands and Why (Japanese, Taobao, Indie)

Hello there! (人･㉨･)♡

I had this post ready all week and then, amongst the happenings of the last few days, forgot to post it...
Well, I'm a bit late to the party, but:
It's time again for another Lolita Blog Carnival entry!

This week's topic is:
"3 Favourite Brands and Why (Japanese, Taobao, Indie)"

✵Music Discoveries: Ghost ✵

...it has been a while since I wrote about a new music disovery!

This time I'd like to introduce a Swedish band which doesn't only have a very interesting concept, but also some addictive music up its sleeve:

Metamorphose Tea Party Weekend

Hello there! ＼(^▽^＠)ノ

On the 17th of October I attended the Metamorphose Tea Party in Vienna!
On Saturday the general admission started at 1 pm at the Schick Hotel Stefanie.

I enjoyed myself so much! So many pretty lolitas to look at and wonderful outfits for the eyes to feast on. ₍₍ ◝(　ﾟ∀ ﾟ )◟ ⁾⁾

The stalls were nice and the food was as great as I remembered it!
My new flatmate Mia had a VIP ticket and when I arrived she had already bought some stuff at the stalls!

Picture time! Here's what I wore to the tea party:

 

Auf die Plätze, fertig, los!

Tomorrow a new semester at college is going to start for me.
I'm so excited!

I spent my last day off partially with studying, cleaning and also met up with Sylvia, Dani, Mia and Lisa at "Café Little Britain". (It's noticable that we adore that place, right? :P)

Actually I had wanted to bake muffins for my classmates too, but I guess I'll have to do that on Friday instead of today, I'm too tired and it's too late already xD

Birthday spoils!

Hello again! (*´・ｖ・)

On 2nd of September I celebrated my birthday with a bunch of friends!
It was so much fun, I think this was the best birthday I've had so far.

In order to give more people the chance to hang out together (and because I wanted to have tea and beer on the same day hehe :P) I held two parties that day.

In the afternoon we went to the Café "Little Britain". I love it so much there, it's just comfortable, the service personell is so nice and of course food and drinks are delicious. I also adore the interior of the café, it has such a cute style. Many of my friends liked it very much aswell, I'm glad about that.
So we indulged ourselves just like we should!

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!
