What Is International Lolita Day?

11/29/2017

0 Comments

 

Our day is almost here!

As I select a dress and make the initial lolita coordinate preparations for this upcoming Saturday, I can scarcely contain my excitement! In celebration of International Lolita Day, my local community is meeting in a charming town for a decorated tree festival, lunch at a cafe, and a gift swap.

While I create a jewelry piece for an unknown recipient, I realize that there may be some new members that may not know if this special day. I hope that this blog post may help to explain the significance of this semi-annual tradition.

What is International Lolita Day?

Picture
International Lolita Day is a special day for the members of our lolita fashion community. It is a day in which we celebrate this expressive and stunning Japanese fashion. Many Lolitas find this day as a great excuse to wear special coordinates! Lolitas may partake in lolita friendly activities or attend lolita fashion meet-ups. Many times, these events are held in a special place and/or have a theme.

When is International Lolita Day?

Picture
Instead of just one day to officially enjoy lolita fashion, we have two days a year! International Lolita Day is celebrated on the first Saturday of June and again on the first Saturday of December. Not only do we have two excuses a year to dress our best, but we have two seasons to do so as well! This way, most of the world can participate in a lolita holiday in summer and in the winter season.​
​

Is there a proper way to celebrate?

Picture
You should enjoy lolita in whatever way you would like or what is realistic for you. I myself have had a wide range of ways to commemorate this day. On days that I have had to work in the past, I have watched Kamikaze Girls or have purchased from an online lolita shop. Other times, I have been able to take part in picturesque photos shoots, picnics on a grassy knoll, and high tea events! International Lolita Day is an excuse to enjoy the fashion you love and there are hundreds of other Lolitas who are celebrating with you in spirit. Feel free to enjoy the day they way that you would like to celebrate!

I recently reached out to Dominique aka Pikkochan regarding a dramatic look for my latest doll addition, Lilith. To transform a blank Obitsu girl into a drop dead gorgeous Gothic beauty would be no easy task! The need for a third eye, tattoo and, piercings did not make my request any easier. Thankfully, Pikkochan was willing to give this challenge a shot. I am so happy with the results!

My Tips & Tricks for Lolita Anxiety

11/22/2017

​I really love lolita, but...

I have come across many people that confess that they are interested in lolita, but they hesitate to join any lolita community. Just the thought of posting on an online forum, posting a photo of a lolita coordinate, or attending a meet makes them very nervous. A common fear that many people may have is how they will be treated by other members of the lolita community. This is a more common concern than you may know, and one that even a seasoned Lolita may have from time to time.
In this post, I will share my tips and suggestions on how to become an active member of the lolita community.

A New Doll Has Arrived!

I recently cleaned out my closet of unwanted collectibles. To my astonishment, I was able to purchase my third Obitsu doll! After some careful consideration, I decided to shell one of my darker characters, Lilith. After I settled on the 45 cm size, I made my way online to complete my purchase!

**Warning: This blog post will contain artistic appreciation of the doll's form aka doll nudity.

Holy Lantern and Little Devil's Emblems Dress Comparison!

11/17/2017

One of my favorite Angelic Pretty release lines of all time is the coveted Holy Lantern series. All the lanterns, crosses, stars, chandeliers, bat wings and crescent moons among the pieces of this series are an eerie addition to any lolita coordinate!

Like many of the popular brand releases, Holy Lantern is one of the more expensive lines on second-hand marketplaces. With the recent addition of Pink-Up's Little Devil's Emblems design, there may be a less expensive, and a customizable, alternative!

How Old is Too Old for Lolita? An Opinion by a Tricenarian

11/8/2017

As the date of my birthday ebbed closer, this topic began to creep into my mind. Apparently, a few other Lolitas in the online community are revisiting this topic as well. The question is:

How old is too old?

Is there an expiration date on this fashion style?

Halloween, A Lolita's Excuse for Frilly and Fabulous Fun!

Happy Halloween!

Picture
Happy Halloween! I absolutely love the Halloween season. Between the festive decorations, pumpkin spice almond milk creamer, autumn leaves, and creepy vibes, I cannot get enough of it. Halloween is a fantastic chance, and many times the only chance, for me to be able to wear lolita fashion during my active work hours. Needless to say, I could not be caught in a simple costume on any weekday Halloween.
Picture
My recent wardrobe addition of Sweet Cherry Deer by Souffle Song was automatically my costume inspiration this year. Since the internet poll I had hosted selected Little Red Riding Hood at the clear favorite, I set to work on the overall look. My Halloween lolita coordinate rundown is as follows:

✓
Sweet Cherry Deer Jumperskirt by Souffle Song
✓ Short Ruffled Ridinghood Style Cape by TeaandTreadle
✓ Blouse by Bunny House
✓ Shoes from Bodyline
✓ Wig from 
Bodyline
✓ Hair accessory from Sweet Dreamer
✓​ Other accessories are off-brand
​

Between our company Halloween party, a Stranger Things marathon and handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, it was one of the best Halloween says yet. I hope you had a fantastic Halloween too!
Stay Frilly,
