/ lolitaland / Leave a comment

The new year is a time for fresh starts, new goals, and…a new wardrobe! If you’re looking to add elegance and whimsical charm to your style, now’s the perfect time to explore the enchanting world of Lolita fashion. And where better to start than with 42Lolita, a treasure trove of adorable and high-quality pieces? 42Lolita has many options straight from Chinese brands on Taobao. I used to use 42agent for my Taobao orders, and even though 42agent closed down, 42Lolita continues their legacy of providing accessible Lolita fashion.

To get 5% off your order, use my code XIAOLILICOS.

Whether you’re a seasoned Lolita or just starting to dip your toes in, this post will inspire you with some pieces from 42Lolita to refresh your wardrobe for the new year.

First, the foundation!

  • Petticoat: Aurora Ariel 45cm A Line Lolita Fashion Petticoat – I have this petticoat, and it’s fluffy, comfy, and perfect for A-line silhouettes!
  • If you need a petticoat for a longer dress, I also have this 60cm one. It’s very strong and puffy, so I’d recommend it for dresses and skirts with heavier fabrics and lots of volume.
  • Manyiluo Adjustable Lolita Hoop Skirt – The hoop skirt I currently use is from this brand but I don’t think they have the same style anymore. Even though I don’t have this particular hoop skirt, I want to get this in the future because I love how it’s adjustable! It will be a versatile basic. Personally, I love wearing hoop skirts instead of petticoats in the summertime because it’s much cooler.

If you’re looking for a specific item, let me know and I can try to find them for you. Read on to see some pieces that caught my eye; I divided them up by substyle.

/ 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:

Cat and Sunflower JSK – $59.50

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

White wrist cuffs – $6.50

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

Red and Black asymmetrical OP – $122.50

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.

Chiffon blouse – $42.50

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.

Pink Cake Salopette – $66.50

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

Miss Mira Wig – $26.50

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.

Doll Night OP – $59.50

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!)

Winter International Lolita Day 2017

/ lolitaland / 8 Comments

Winter International Lolita Day 2017 took place on Saturday, December 2 this year. I figured I would write a post about this before 2017 ends since it was a fantastic day! It was my first time truly twinning too… I’ve never twinned with a print before!

 

The night before the meetup, I was last-minute coord-ing (at past midnight). You can see my full planning photos on Tumblr.

Me and Victoria of ParfaitDoll twinned in Powder Rose: same colorway, but different dresses. I love this Angelic Pretty print, and was really happy when I was able to purchase it secondhand from a friend!

There were a bunch of different meetups happening in NYC for International Lolita Day, but I attended the meet that was at Sweet Time Dessert Cafe in West Village. It was such a cute location for International Lolita Day! Powder Rose fit right in at home.

Everyone there adored the rose wall. The desserts all looked so cute too! I had the mousse dessert shaped like a heart (and we called it the “butt” because it also looks like a peach… or a butt). The bubble tea was delicious too! I actually had two bubble teas: a jasmine green tea with peach bubbles one, and a Thai tea one with brown sugar bubbles.

If I had more money, I would have bought more desserts for myself. I wanted to try all the desserts there… Even though I only got one dessert, Victoria and I took bites of each other’s treats too! Her roll dessert was really cute!

It was really cold outside (in my opinion), so I regret not wearing my trusty old L.L. Bean winter jacket like I always wear in the wintertime. The reason I opted out of that jacket is because it’s solid black (and not loliable at all), so I wanted to wear a sweet style coat. The coat I chose to wear was this short coat from Liz Lisa.

It’s really cute, and I love the bows on it! It’s not very warm though… And I was wearing so many layers that day to make up for it. Thermal shirt, thermal tights, regular tights, knee-high fleece socks, a long-sleeved blouse, my huge multi-layer Classical Puppets petticoat… And my wig counts as an additional layer, right?

Luckily, it was nice and cozy inside the dessert cafe. The giant bear by the window at the cafe was the most popular…! Everyone wanted photos with him.

Check out this funny video me and Victoria made!

Even people who came to the cafe outside our meetup wanted photos with the bear and against the rose wall!

Below, you’ll see a cute photo collage Christina made of me and Victoria and our adventures at the meetup. The last panel is my favorite one! Victoria was complaining about terrible customer service at a nail salon she had tried. Her face is perfection.

It was super fun to twin, and I hope I can find someone to twin with again! This meetup was super fun, although it ended in pain and tragedy: both soles of my Bodyline boots came off. First, the right side. And then later on, the left side. It was really difficult to walk, but I was able to make it back home somehow. I’ll probably try to glue the soles back on and then minimize wearing them. (Maybe just wear them for shoots?) I’ve had similar negative experiences with Bodyline shoes so I’m hesitant to buy them again.

In any case, here’s my coord rundown:

❀ JSK & Canotier: Angelic Pretty’s Powder Rose

❀ Hairbows: Offbrand

❀ Earrings: Orisian

❀ Blouse: BTSSB

❀ Rings: Offbrand

❀ Necklace: Claire’s

❀ Tights: Offbrand

❀ Shoes: Bodyline

❀ Coat: Liz Lisa

Thanks for reading!
