Introducing LolitaInside

August 1, 2024 / lolitaland / Leave a comment

Have you heard of LolitaInside? It’s a lolita fashion online retailer that sells items from authentic Lolita indie brands, offering a wide selection of Lolita dresses, Ouji outfits, gothic and punk clothing, and more. Whether you’re looking to create a head-to-toe coordinate or add unique pieces to your wardrobe, check them out. You can also use my code ALICE to get 5% off your order.

Here are some items that caught my eye while I was browsing:

This JSK is too cute! I love the border print with the sunflowers and cats. Such a great summer JSK!

These white wrist cuffs are so darling with the pleats, lace trim, and little bows. Great for many coords!

This OP is so cool and unique! I love the red and black gradient colors, and the off-the-shoulder neckline is very trendy. It gives off dark princess vibes.

This chiffon blouse would be so lovely with JSKs and skirts alike! I love the peter pan collar with lace and ruffles, and the sleeves have unique trimmings. There’s no buttons on the front, so it would be really comfortable to wear under a JSK or even a cap-sleeved OP.

This sweet lolita salopette is adorable! I love the cake themed print, and all the bows.

If you like wearing wigs with your coord, the Miss Mira wig comes in pink, gold, and brown. It’s also heat-resistant, so you can style it with a flatiron and/or curling iron.

This OP looks captivating and eerie with it’s scattered print of dolls. The bodice is reminiscent of an apron. I love the black and white color palette. (And I love creepy-cute dolls!)

Which items would you get? Let me know if you’re looking for anything specific and I can help you search. I am happy to help you style your lolita fashion coords and build your J-fashion wardrobe (or any wardrobe!)

Let me know what you think of LolitaInside! If you shop here, be sure to use ALICE for 5% off your order. Thanks for reading, and happy shopping. 🙂

The Opposite of Love

June 8, 2024June 8, 2024 / lolitaland / Leave a comment

As a huge fan of theatre, I was excited to be invited as a member of press to attend “The Opposite of Love,” presented by NewYorkRep. This play was staged at the Royal Family Performing Arts Space in New York City, a beautiful venue with an intimate setting in a restored landmark building.

Theatre has always been a space where complex human emotions are laid bare, inviting audiences to confront issues, reflect on meaning, and empathize with characters. “The Opposite of Love” is no exception. This powerful play dives deep into themes of love, intimacy, trauma, and healing, offering a poignant exploration that resonates on multiple levels.

Trigger Warnings

“The Opposite of Love” tackles potentially triggering topics, including:

Sexual abuse, asssault, and non-consensual acts
Emotional and psychological trauma
Discussion of suicide
Graphic sexual language
Depictions of intimacy

The Story

“The Opposite of Love” is a contemporary drama set in NYC that centers around two characters: a young wealthy woman who is grappling with the aftermath of childhood sexual trauma and a down-on-his-luck male prostitute who learns more about himself and his own trauma. In the script, Eloise is described as a beautiful girl with tragic thoughts and Will is described as a tragic boy with beautiful thoughts. These descriptions ring true!

When we think about the opposite of love, the first thing that comes to mind is hatred but actually — the opposite of love is really indifference.

The Talkback with NYSCASA

Following the performance, there was an insightful and impactful talkback session with the cast of the play and a representative from the New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NYSCASA). NYSCASA plays a crucial role in supporting survivors of sexual violence and advocating for systemic change to prevent future violence. They are working to create a world where survivors are believed, supported, and empowered to heal.

The talkbalk highlighted the importance of community support and resources for those affected by sexual violence. It was a reminder of the real-world implications of the play’s themes and the ongoing efforts needed to address these critical issues.

The Cast and Crew

The strength of “The Opposite of Love” lies in its exceptional cast and crew, who bring the story to life with nuanced performances and sensitive direction.

Introducing 42Lolita

June 6, 2024 / lolitaland / Leave a comment

Have you heard of 42Lolita? 42Lolita is the official Lolita shop of 42agent. I’ve been a loyal customer of 42agent since 2013 (back in their Taobaoring days!). You may have seen my blog posts about Taobao shopping (here: post 1, post 2, and post 3). Lots of great Lolita indie brands are on Taobao, and 42Lolita makes it even easier to snag cute clothes and accessories. If you’d like to shop there, use my code XIAOLILICOS for 5% off your order!

The pre-order for this collab between Taobao brand NyaNya and Puella Magi Madoka Magica ended on May 31, but 42lolita reserved some extras for customers who missed the reservation. If you’re a lolita who’s also a fan of this anime, these two OPs are perfect for you!

Don’t miss out if you’re interested in these– right now, only sizes XL and 2XL are still available.

If you’re looking for a staple piece available in a variety of sizes, I found this cute summer lolita blouse. It’s still available in sizes ranging from XS to 2XL, plus there’s a customized size option. The Taobao brand is Miss Cube.

It’s also made from cotton, which I love to wear during hot days!

If you’re interested in upgrading your petticoat to a hoop skirt for the summer, I found this Lolita hoop skirt for only $7.99! It’s a great deal. A few years ago, I got my first hoopskirt, and I love wearing it on really hot days since it keeps the voluminous shape for the skirts, but it lets my legs breathe.

I am pretty sure this hoopskirt is the same one I bought a few years ago through 42agent. Now that they have 42lolita, it’s much easier to shop!

If you’re looking for a cute bag, this Boguta bow bag has been super popular.

It comes in many different colorways. I love the oversized bow design! It also comes with two sets of detachable straps so you can switch it up between the faux leather ruffle straps or the pearl chain straps. You can wear this bag as a backpack, shoulder bag, or handheld bag. It also comes in 3 different sizes!

If you’ve shopped at 42lolita before, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Don’t forget to use my coupon code XIAOLILICOS for 5% off your order! Thanks for reading, and happy shopping. 🙂
