petticoats!

So far today was a very productive day, i made a petticoat for myself witch was quite interesting and i would suggest if you don't need to make one yourself- don't! theres so much fabric to look after and gather and the tulle itself seems to disappear if you put it on the floor!

i started to cut the fabric before i realized what i was getting myself into and Oh My! i was swimming in fabric before i knew it. though in the end it turned out pretty good and it does the job alright i was hoping it would have a little more poof. Oh well.

Driving me lolita.

So today i (finally) got my drivers license after like a year and a half of having my learners... But besides the fun of scarring my friends and other drivers the car itself isn't that fun. The car is a big blue SUV with a beige interior and its just not anything special or fun to drive.

I've never seen a lolita talk about their car in a blog so i though i would bring this topic up, do i just post a giant Roxy sticker on the back of my parents car to girl it up? or seat covers? or something more permanent? its still their car so i cant do too much to it but it would be nice to add some pink to it. evan doing a search on google i only came up with 2 pictures of cars that were lolita-ish.

In Europe you can almost always take public transport and don't really need a car but in Canada and the US most of the time unless your in a really big city theres not many options for public transportation so you need a car. What do you do for transport on and everyday basis and if you have a car or something what does it look like?

My weekend highlights

So this past weekend i went out to my boyfriends cabin and we went for a canoe ride/paddle it was very nice sitting at the front and him paddling us along, i would suggest this activity to any lolita who wants to do something fun at the cabin even if you have to paddle, just watch out for spiders, in out canoe there was like 5 spiders that made me almost tip the boat...

Also its good to avoid hammocks, i know that there comfy and nice to swing in but when your in a skirt try to avoid them, its very hard to find a comfortable yet dignified position in a petticoat, but if your wearing pants or a bathing suit go for it!

Another fashion movie.

I just started watching this mini web series but its all about fashion, nor necessarily any particular fashion but fashion in general i really enjoyed the first episode and it looks really interesting with some big names in it.

its called rage and i hope you like it!

RAGE

A lolita Doc.

I found a wonderful video on youtube, its a documentary done by a student about lolita fashion. I find it interesting although it is short, i hope you enjoy it.

click here for the video.

but what about tea?

I've wondered long and hard about the question; do you have to like tea and cakes to be lolita?

well you don't have to, if you prefer teas stronger counterpart coffee thats fine to or just a class of water even. Its not a must but certainly considered more lolita if you do. perhaps your watching your figure or just cant take the sweetness of cake, well thats fine too, there are other alternatives, surly there is some sort of sandwich you can eat.

my point is that there is always an alternative you can seek out that is almost or just as good. you dont have to stick to the norms to be lolita, lolita is about being out there and comfortable with your style.
