Far away October ~ She dreams in her enchanted world of the Princess.

That title seems like something from Baby the Stars Shine Bright, doesn't it? Well~

Despite having visited Chichester Cathedral only a couple of months ago,  I could not resist seeing it again. Such a beautiful and glorious place. So awesome and gorgeous. <3

We had intended to take some photos here, but we ran into some complications. (｡-_-｡) First of all, my sister's camera stopped working - the pictures came out blurry - and Ceci could my find anyway to fix it. So after a frustrating time, I thought "Oh, just forget it!" And we went to have some lunch.

After a relaxing lunch, having calmed down, we decided to take some shots with my iPhone. It is not the best camera, but it is better than nothing and I just wanted SOMETHING for all that effort. We found a little place that was just outside the Cathedral, and the result is what you see here:

After, we decided to have a walk in the gardens. And then, by a miracle, Ceci's camera started working! Well actually, she inserted the correct camera card, having the wrong one in earlier. But anyway, having the camera finally sorted, meant we could take some more photos. It was well in to the afternoon by the time we got to taking these, so I'm sorry they are not the best. 

I really love wearing Hime Lolita, even though this is quite a simple coordinate. My hair was curly, but I think stress got to me. D: The one-piece dress is in a gorgeous tone of my favourite red colour, but because of its styling I can not wear it often. In photos and from a distance, the tights look plain, but they actually feature an embossed pattern. I chose my jewellery in my favourite motifs of crosses and roses. The shoes are not strictly lolita, but I think for this kind of look, they match quite well.

Thank you for reading; hope you liked it. ^^ 

Adélaide

The Lady wears a corset.

I like the free, fresh, wind in my hair...Life without care...

Sorry, I have Gaga on the brain.

Anyway, as you will know, I often wear lolita fashion, but sometimes, I like to try something a bit different. This look is all very impromptu, but I hope you like it.

I pinned my fringe out of the way for this look, but I'd never grow it out. At least for now.

Thank you for reading. ( ^ω^ )

Last of the summer rose.

Wore this outfit for a short trip to town this Saturday. 

I've just recently finished customised in this dress by sewing roses at the hem. ^^; It's a very summery look but it's still quite warm in England. 

I had this cheese and tomato tart for lunch. 

After that, I had some chocolate ice-cream... ( ^ω^ )

Revelry

I'm sorry this a bit late, but I'm having so many problems with the blogger app! I hope you can understand. (u_u)

Last Saturday, I participated in my first lolita meet-up event. I went to 'Revelry', The Tea Party Club's 7th Anniversary event. (The Tea Party Club is a London based group for Lolita fashion in the U.K.)

As it was my very first event, I was very apprehensive and I was slightly overwhelmed to be around so many pretty Lolitas! (´･_･`)

But I soon became much more relaxed; everyone I talked to was so lovely. Thank you for making my day great!

The most memorable part of the day was  the fashion show. We got to see new designs from guests of honour Grimoire and Metamorphose! 

Pictures can be found here:

I would like to have been chosen to model, but I understand that I can't have everything! So I spent the duration of the show looking wistfully at the lovely girls who were chosen. XD My favourite piece would have to be the all white lace dress. It has such an angelic and dreamy air. ☆

I only purchased one thing at the event: this pretty little tissue case. 

Since I am extremely careful with my money, it took me a while I find anything that I absolutely HAD to have until I saw this. It's so pretty!

I will leave you with some pictures of my outfit for the day. 

Thank you for reading! (・ω・)ノ

Birthday 2014

It's finally time for a new post! I don't post often enough do I? Well, I never know what to write! XD

 

I had a quiet birthday this year; just went out to the shops with my mother and brother.

One of the presents I received was this gorgeous dress: Baby the Stars Shine Bright's 'Versailles Rose Bouquet' Jumperskirt in Red! （≧∇≦）

We visited a tea room located on a barge. It was very sweet! I tried a special blend of tea called 'Snow White'. To be honest, I can't quite remember what the tea tasted like, but it must have been good, right? XD

I also received Misako Aoki's Lolita Fashion Book! <3

Summer International Lolita Day 2014

A couple of weeks ago was International Lolita Day! (Abbreviated to ILD.) ILD is a twice yearly date (first Saturday of June and first Saturday of December) that celebrates Lolita Fashion. 

My ILD this time was a very quiet one. I was just at home with my family, but I still dressed up and I have some photos to share with you.

 

Anyone else celebrate ILD? What did you get up to?

Getting back to me - 2 outfits

Hello. ^^

I thought I'd post a couple of outfits I'd worn recently - it had been a while since I last dressed up. Not to go into too much detail, but let's just say I had become quite ill, so I was glad I was able to wear pretty clothes and feel more like myself again :)

A simple sweet lolita outfit I wore around the house at the weekend

Detail of the print of the dress and my shoes ^^

I wore this outfit yesterday to town to meet a very special friend of mine I hadn't seen in a few weeks. I was so happy to meet her; she really cheered me up. XD I guess I had been feeling a bit lonely?

What do you like to do to cheer yourself up? I'd love to hear lots of suggestions. :)
