Russian Doll

A non-lolita outfit today! I felt inspired by natural kei, hence the headscarf.

Blouse, scarf- Vintage

Skirt- Handmade by me

Boots- Innocent World

Everything else- Offbrand

The skirt is made from Laura Ashley fabric. I absolutely love Laura Ashley, and I'm always hunting for some vintage pieces. I found a wonderful brown velvet medieval-style dress recently, but the neckline was a bit low and it was too fitted for my taste. I hope someone else bought it and loved it! 

I want to start wearing more headscarves! I think they're adorable. My mother has a nice collection of silk scarves so I'll have to see if I can borrow some. 

I wore coral lipstick with this coordinate to brighten my face and give a doll-like look. It goes quite well with the overall colour scheme I think!

Thanks so much for looking, I hope you liked today's coordinate! 

Pollocks Toy Museum

Yesterday I went to Lolita meetup at Pollocks Toy Museum in London! 

Here's me with one of the dolls! She's lovely isn't she? I want her outfit. My coordinate has a teddy-bear theme to complment the exhibits! 

 I picked up on the theme by coordinating brown items with fur accents. There are teddies and bisque dolls on my jumperskirt! Also, my hairstyle is inspired by teddy ears.

Jumperskirt, socks- Innocent World

Tippet- Vintage

Everything else- Offbrand

I took a picture without the cardigan at home:

As usual the accessories are simple, but even a little detail can make a big difference to an outift! That's why I'm annoyed with myself when I don't add accessories.... 

I had such a lovely time yesterday; the museum was charming and so were the lovely Lolitas! I only regret that I couldn't have a long conversation with everyone. I hope I can talk with everybody next time! I want to go to another meetup soon!

Bye for now....

Be My Valentine.....

Yesterday was Valentine's Day! I hope you had a nice time.

I had a dinner date, so I took the opportunity to wear my new onepiece. Prepare for lots of pictures....

The onepiece makes me think of Judy Garland in Meet Me in St Louis!

I love the full circle skirt and the sleeves.

This time I wore a slip underneath, maybe next time I'll try it with my long pannier.

Here's a rundown:

Onepiece, handbag- Vintage

Tights, shoes- Offbrand

Hair combs- Handmade

This photo is a bit blurry, but I wanted to show you how big the skirt is!

Thanks for looking, see you again soon!

Glasses....

Unfortunately for me, I have INCREDIBLY weak eyes, so I always have to rely on contacts and glasses. I got a new pair of glasses for Christmas, and I like them a lot!

~Old~                                 ~New~

I think the new, lighter and bigger frames are more classic and "kind" looking than the square-ish ones I had previously. The new ones go a bit better with my style these days!

I've seen some Lolitas looking great with deco'd glasses or with old-fashioned spectacle chains. I think the deco is not for me, but I might try out the chains someday.

Thanks for looking, see you next time!
