So here we go! Day 1: 10 Things about your Lolita bubble.
This confuses me a little because im not sure what a lolita bubble is exactly.. but from other peoples lists Im guessing its personal things you feel within lolita. I hope thats right!

1.) How proud I feel when Im in Lolita. Most subcultures are very quick to deny that they belong to a fashion group but ask a Lolita what subculture she belongs to and 9 times out of 10 she will tell you!

2.) Explaining to people who are genuinely interested. As long as people arent rude, I really dont mind being asked about lolita. It annoys me a fair bit when lolitas get so defensive to the point of rudeness when people ask about their clothing - some people are genuinely curious!

3.) Support from my friends and family. Half of my friends want me to dress them up, and Ill never forget the day my sisters boyfriend came round when I was painstakingly ironing half of my collection, and he compared it to having a nice car - you wouldnt buy a super special expensive car and not wash it, so why wear lolita creased!

4.) Progression. I brought my first lolita dress when I was 15 in Camden market. Of course I wouldnt be seen dead in it now, its a bit of a lace monster and at that point I didnt have the means to buy a blouse, petticoat or any other necessities to make it a proper outfit, but I absolutely treasured it at the time, and I like being able to see how Ive progressed into better coords, and being able to wonder what I will put together next.

5.) Being able to take inspiration from many different types of lolita. Although sweet has my heart, I love classic, and part of me will always long to be as elegant as some gothic lolitas, but I like that theres always a possibility to take inspiration from different places.

6.) Lolita activities. I know its cliche.. but I love going to tea rooms and for walks in beautiful places, and baking. Its like having things I loved anyway encompassed into a fashion!

7.) Lolita art. Ive always loved art and even considered it for my degree for quite some time, and lolita really fuels that for me. The first lolita artist i really noticed was Kira Imai with her beautiful pieces for Angelic Pretty, and then for our anniversary my boyfriend brought me an incredible book about lolita artists (Ill be posting about this soon) and another artist really captured my heart.
Isnt it so beautiful! Im planning on copying some parts to learn the style and then create some of my own designs this summer. you can see more of Yoh here:

8.) That special feeling when I open my wardrobe and see a significant portion of it is lolita. Im funding myself through university, and I find it very hard to hold down a job in term time because I have too much reading to do so though it takes me a while and I own no brand, I still get super happy to see lots of frills and beautiful colours dominating my wardrobe.

9.) The fact that Lolita has been the only thing thats ever been able to move me away from my safety colour - black!

10.) The way Lolita has made me appreciate my boyfriend who always supports me even if its just by holding my hand in a busy place, it makes me feel a lot less alienated. Boyfriends of Lolitas are the best boyfriends in the world.

I hope I did that right! I had to try really hard not to overlap with tomorrows 10 Things I Love in Lolita ! I hope I didnt go on too much, thanks for reading princesses!

:DDD

I rarely go on Lolita Secrets but I went on today and it made me so miserable that i ended up browsing Lolita Valentines to counteract the nastiness that so many people post there!
I was super shocked and so happy when I found this!
Thankyou so much whoever made this. I often spend my time feeling like I dont measure up to a lot of other lolis and this made me so smiley <3

Im Back!

Hello lovely ladies!
I will tell you all about my amazing time at Download Festival shortly (of course with a zillion pictures) But firstly Im going to show you some new pictures from yesterday! My best friend Emma came round and I got her all dressed up. Shes never worn Lolita before but has been interested in it for a while so I thought Id help her give it a go ^^
Im also wearing my new Fantastic Dolly replica and new petticoat in the pictures! Ill be blogging more frequently now so there will be a review on each posted soon!
We did some super cliche pictures just for a laugh so heres my umbrella-blown-away shot :p
and our spinning ones!
Then it started to rain so the rest are inside ):
Check out my tea cup <3
we also made a puri using my phone!
Here is my accessory shot
I just love this carousel! I brought it from the lovely Emilia at http://carousel-dreams.blogspot.com/
Here is a cute picture I took of it today, as well as the marshmallow bracelet I brought from her
I had an amazing time at the festival! I saw so many amazing bands, though System of a Down, Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Linkin Park and Rob Zombie were my absolute favourites. We stayed from the wednesday till the monday so we were knackered by the time we got back! Here are some pictures ^^
Judging by the fact my hair is still in fairly good condition I think this was day 2! I love this hat and am planning a photoshoot with it soon!
Me and Lucy getting our hula hoop on
We spent a lot of time at this shisha tent drinking tea and eating toasties!
Zombie day! Sadly I didnt get many group shots:/
and the aftermath:
Sorry for such a long post! Thankyou for reading to the end if you did! Hope youre all well and thankyou for all of your recent comments!

London Trip!

Sorry Ive been so quiet lovelies, I started a new job last weekend and finally finished my exams! Ive been so busy, and I had the dentist yesterday :'(
But heres my late post about the trip to London I had with my boyfriend! It was super fun and I grew up there so I find it super easy to navigate ^^
First we went to the Natural History Museum! So fun, but it was already so hot!
We got there as it opened and went straight upstairs so we could see some things without crowds :)
Of course we took lots of pictures! Thats Darwin behind me ^^
The dinosaurs were awesome, but we though this one was like y u no guy
see?!
We took lots of jokey photos, heres my boyfriend fighting a dinosaur :D
After the museum we went to the cutest shop in China Town to take some puris and I had some bubble tea ^^
I wanted to buy everything!
I need to scan these properly...
A final outfit shot. We went to Camden too but I didnt take any pictures there!
I hope you like my pictures!
Bye princesses
