Personal Lolita Goals For 2015

Join the Lolita Blog Carnival more often! I feel like I did not write that many posts this year because I’ve been so busy with academics.
And this point relates to the previous one: Blog more on WordPress in general. I feel like my posts lately have only been either review posts or Lolita Blog Carnival posts. I hope I can blog more, without the need for prompts. Maybe I can write more about my personal thoughts or blog about events I attend! I also want to expand my reviews. Maybe I’ll review makeup products! If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
Take more photos of casual coordinates! I rarely take photos of my casual lolita coords. I want to show that I do wear lolita casually sometimes, and in these cases, I don’t wear makeup (or I just wear minimal makeup) and I don’t wear wigs. I don’t really style my hair, and honestly, I never did even when I had long hair. I have to admit: I’m lazy when it comes to my real hair! I usually wear a hair accessory when I wear casual lolita, even if it’s just a small bow or a cute barrette.
Take some lolita fashion risks. I really want to try punk lolita, for example. I am scared to try, but I want to go ahead and do it at some point! I also want to take more lolita risks in styles I already wear. Maybe wear a winter scarf and winter gloves with a coordinate. Or layer on different sweaters for a Mori-inspired lolita look.
Make videos for YouTube. I have a YouTube channel, but there are only two videos on there at the moment. And they are both a year old. …So I should really try to upload new videos. Maybe I can make a wardrobe video post? Or show off details from some favorite lolita pieces? We’ll see.

Silly Sweet Shop: Jewelry

November 26, 2014 / lolitaland / Leave a comment

Silly Sweet Shop sent me an awesome package of sweet treats! 😀 Sweet wearable treats, I mean!~

They mailed it in a bubble mailer like this:

Inside, they left a sweet note on cute stationery, and they also included their business card! I love their business card design; it definitely shows off their style.

All their products were safely tucked away in the bubble wrap. When I ripped off the tape securing the bubble wrap and unfolded the package, I was pleasantly surprised to find adorable packaging! The two necklaces were in a drawstring pouch, and the bow and ring were in a cute plastic baggie that said “Handmade for you.” I’m saving this bag; it’s so cute!

In this package, I got a pink macaron necklace, a waffle bowl ice cream necklace, a pink drippy chocolate-and-sprinkles bow, and a bear drippy chocolate-and-sprinkles cookie ring. All of these items are super cute and have lovely detail! Both necklaces have a lobster clasp, which is my favorite type of clasp. I find it much easier to use than the spring ring clasp, and I always appreciate artisans who use the lobster clasp for their jewelry pieces.

Here are some individual shots of the items:

I truly love ALL of these jewelry pieces! It is difficult to choose a favorite, but if I really had to choose, I would pick the waffle bowl ice cream necklace as my favorite piece. The detail in this sweets pendant is impeccable.

The waffle bowl looks realistic, the fudge looks perfectly chocolatey, and the cherry on top is an adorable touch. Red is my all-time favorite color, so I love seeing red cherries! The red really pops against the brown chocolate fudge.

For my styling photos, you may recognize the coordinates from this previous review. Since I am a full-time college student (who also works two part-time jobs), I’m extremely busy. I do not have much time to dress up anymore, and I definitely don’t have time for many photoshoots alongside my studies. I tried to work different pieces together when I did these outfits. I think the different elements go well together, thank goodness!

The detail on this bow is amazing! The chocolate actually does look drippy, and the entire bow is well-constructed.

The chocolate and sprinkles are not loose. This is a very cute bow that can be worn for OTT coordinates as well as casual wear!

I wore the bow and the waffle ice bowl ice cream necklace with the above coordinate, but I can also wear these cute items to spice up casual pieces of clothing, such as jeans and a t-shirt. These accessories would also be perfect additions to a fairy kei outfit!

I also want to talk about this adorable macaron necklace! As you may already know, I loveloveLOVE macarons!

I felt really cute when I wore this necklace! I want to start a macaron jewelry collection now… Macarons are delicious, but also look super cute as accessory motifs. ❤

And of course, I cannot leave out the adorable cookie ring:

This ring is a great size: it’s big enough to be easily noticeable, but it’s not too bulky. It’s very comfortable to wear, and the ring band is adjustable!

Here is a message from the owner of Silly Sweet Shop: “I have been a clay sculptor and crafter for six years now. I love JFashion very much, so much that I wanted to base my brand on Japanese pop culture fashion. I travel to many conventions selling my items, I love to bring joy and spread the word about how great JFashion can be.”

I hope you enjoyed reading my review! Please check out Silly Sweet Shop; I am sure you’ll find items to fall in love with. Here are links to the items in this post: Chocolate Sprinkle Hair Bow, Coco Bear Cookie Ring, Waffle Bowl Sundae Necklace, Strawberry Macaron Necklace. Silly Sweet Shop now has an Etsy store as well, so check that out too!

LBC: A Comfy Lolita Outfit

November 14, 2014November 15, 2014 / lolitaland / Leave a comment

This week’s Lolita Blog Carnival theme is… A COMFY LOLITA OUTFIT! I haven’t had time to participate in LBC lately, so I am glad I’m finally joining in again!

I will share some of my comfiest lolita coordinates with you. For me, things that are stretchy are more comfortable because it allows for more free movement. I especially love dresses and skirts with generous shirring because I can eat lots of food and not feel like I am going to rip my clothes. My stomach expands when I eat, and in the past, buttons have flown off my skirts from eating too much. It is always really embarrassing when that happens… I’ve also resorted to partially unzipping skirts or dresses before feasting, and covering the unzipped part with a cardigan or bolero. (What can I say; I am quite the glutton!)

I wore the above coordinate on RuffleCon Day One. This Chantilly Phantom Merry-Go-Round dress is super comfy due to its generous shirring. It’s super stretchy, so I never felt restricted. It did not feel tight anywhere, and this outfit was comfy to sit down as well as to run around in. I always favor comfortable lolita shoes, like these wedge mary-janes!

This coordinate was a nice casual one from this summer. No wig means less summer heat, and it also means less itchiness. The shoes are unfortunately cut off in the above photo… I asked my mom to take a photo, and I didn’t check my camera until the next day. I was wearing my black mary-jane flats with this outfit, which have built-in arch supports, so they are super comfortable! I usually have to put my orthotic inserts into my shoes because I have flat feet and suffer from a joint disease. Chronic pain still happens, but that’s something I can’t change. Besides the shoes, this Bodyline JSK is super comfortable. It has full shirring, all around the bodice of the dress. The blouse is from Forever21, and it’s really easy to wear and clean.

This skirt has partial shirring, and even though I prefer full shirring, this skirt is still comfortable. It is not as tight as my other partially shirred skirts. The cotton cutsew is super stretchy, which is wonderful. I love this wig from Gothic Lolita Wigs too! It’s not itchy at all and it’s not too tight or too loose. This wig is one of the comfiest ones I own!

Ah yes, another dress with generous shirring. I wore this coordinate on Christmas Eve 2013! This Putumayo OP is a wonderful dress to wear because it’s light and very comfortable. It still looks pretty formal even though it feels as comfortable as a casual dress. And I am wearing those super-comfy wedge mary-janes again. I wear these shoes a lot because they’re so comfortable and they also add some height.
