Soulless


despite having to spell the title of the book out about 5 times so the nice lady at the bookstore could find what section it was in i finally got my hands on the book witch i have been eager to read. The book is entitles Soulless and is about a woman who gets into some big trouble as she meddles with the affaires of BUR (the supernatural beuro thing) in her would of Vampires and Werewolfs.

Well thats my summery of it alteast. its a very interesting book i only wish it was longer so i could still be reading it. (i finished it last night in the wee hours of the morning) and i am very much looking forward to the next book in the series.

My pet peeve with this book is actually the cover page, although she has a dress that colour and a parasol (although not quite the same) in the book she does not have a hat like that, and she at no point has a pair of goggles (although there are some neat glassicals in the book) and it makes you think that the book will be far more steam punk that it really is. I'm not entirely sure why this annoys me so much but it does.

Sucrerie magazine

This is a handy online magazine that helps out us western lolitas! Its colourful pages are up to date and offer many tips and tricks for beginning and full-time lolitas evan though its not the most professional mag out there. The only thing that really bugs me about it is how there aren't many (if any) tutorials.

However i am thinking of maybe submitting a tutorial for how to make a basic skirt, (one thats easy and patternless) but i don't know if i have the fabric to do it right now but i could always pull together photos or make a mini one or something, its not that hard as long as you have a sewing machine.

Heres the link to Sucrerie Mag. You should really check it out.
