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^ )

Cheek to Cheek <3

Last week, I received my copy of Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga's new album: 'Cheek to Cheek' (Deluxe Edition) in the mail.

It is Gaga's first Jazz album, and how wonderful it is! I have kept myself blissfully ignorant to the world of jazz and I do not pretend otherwise. So I bought the album with an air of indifference. Of course, I had some excitement, otherwise I may as well not have bought it all! It is Gaga after all, and the Lady makes you believe in her, believe in something she is so obviously passionate about. I had listened to the tracks shown on youtube and I at least liked them. At least. So there was that: I would at least 'like' the album.

I was not disappointed. There is such a warmth in the music, that it is a joy to listen to. Tony and Lady's voices melt together, creating this golden sound that is at once rich and free. It is the kind of music that makes me want to put on pearls and dream the world away, just because. Gaga does not have to tell you she loves it. You can feel it.

Thank you for reading. ^^

Fairy wishes.

When life gets too much, I take time alone in the forest. 

It is a tranquil solace away from the harsh realities of life. There, I am in a dream.

I am scared. I want to know if it will all be worth it in the end. Floating endlessly to a place I know not.

Perhaps my fairy dust can help me.

Make a wish, that everything will be all right and all manner of things will be well and good. Do I dare to hope?

What would you wish for?

Just a little note.

Following from a rather scary recent personal experience, I thought I'd share this post I saw recently on tumblr.

I feel it's important that we know how to better look after one another. (*^^*) Of course, we all make mistakes and sometimes it's hard to remember the right thing to do in the heat of the moment, but if you know even just a little, perhaps you can make someone feel just a little better. ☆彡

Thank you very much. X

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
