Outfit post

Yay! I'm excited to be doing one of these again! This is my first brand dress on me, it fits really nicely (and being me i'm not wearing a blouse under it). I also forgot to mention that my hair is more brown now. ^^

I really like the appliques on the dress, they look to be hand stitched but im not positive.

My first brand item

I was really excited to receive my new BtsSB dress in the post yesterday! It was "Take a walk with Usakumya-chan jumper skirt" in black.

It arrived extremely fast, It was shipped on friday and out for delivery the following tuesday (sadly i wasn't home at the time) thats 5 days to get to canada! I was very nervous placing the order, using the shopping cart and a different paypal account but it all turned out good and there was no confusion! I give Baby a 5/5 on everything!

Up until now I've sewn all my own clothes, it was unexpectedly amazing to put on a brand dress. It was how i would imagine putting on a wedding dress would be. I put it on and just felt pretty.

I think I might have just become a brand whore.

Good Reading

I found this site through another blog (though i cant find the post again) and i began to read all the letters and articles on the site. I was really inspired by the article morning decadence and have started trying to wake up earlier. He talks about being alone and independent while blossoming into a young woman and just being yourself. In his article about a trip to the planetarium theres the most beautiful quote:

"The starry sky reverted to a white screen; Alice opened her eyes and was forced to part with the vest-wearing rabbits. The clocks which regulate Japan's time at the Astronomy Science Center had second hands that had started to slice away bits of reality. " from this article.

The full list of articles is here.

Takemoto Novala is the same writer who rote Kamekaze Girls. He has a couple other books too that i would like to read sometime.

Please remember to enter the giveaway! theres only 2 days left!

Lolita opportunities: The Ballet

When I was young my Grandmother used to always take me to the Ballet. We were fortunate enough to have season tickets! I've seen most of the ballets over the years, Swan Lake, Dracula, The Nutcracker and other classic ones... So when I heard they were coming out with a Alice in Wonderland one this season I just had to get tickets! I'm also quite lucky that we have one of the best ballets in canada the Royal Winnipeg Ballet!

The ballet is such a wonderful classic art, fun to learn and stunning to watch! I find it is a very loli-able occasion for and groupe or single loli. Most lolita events it seems happen in parks or cafe's but i think it would be fun one day to organise a large excursion to the ballet!

I hope to ba able to dress in my brand best for this! I'm so excited to watch a ballet again! (its been a few years) What do you think of the ballet? have you ever seen one, if you have witch is your favorite?

Dont be afraid....
