The holidays are here! This can be a very exciting, and busy, time of the year. Since this list was well received in previous years, I wanted to create another list of possible gifts!

If you need items to buy for a lolita friend, gift swap meet or suggestions for your friends and family, I hope this list of 100 items helps!

As I select a dress and make the initial Lolita coordinate preparations today, I can scarcely contain my excitement! In celebration of International Lolita Day, my local community will gather together to catch up and enjoy Disney's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.

I realized that there may be some new members to lolita fashion that may not know if this special day. I hope that this blog post will explain the significance of this semi-annual tradition.

Black Friday is a very popular day to shop for holiday gifts or other material desires. Hundreds of people around the globe wake up insanely early, stand in long lines, often in the cold weather to get access to annual and unbelievable discounts.

While this shopping phenomenon began in the United States of America, many countries have taken advantage of this day and offer amazing sales and discounts to their customers. Over the past few years, there have been many lolita fashion shops that have taken up this commercial tradition.

Here are some lolita brands and shops that you should keep an eye out for on Black Friday!

​Thanksgiving is a great time of the year to spend time with friends, family and have enjoy some tasty holiday favorites. This is also the perfect time to take a step back from the day-to-day activities and appreciate the things that we take for granted.

This holiday is one of my absolute favorites! The scary movies, decorations and candy are some of my favorite aspects about this glorious eve. I am extremely lucky that I am able to wear lolita fashion to work on a workday Halloween day.

This year, I wanted to wear one of my favorite lolita dresses, Chocolate Bear Coty-chan Sweets Wonderland by Maxicimam. I had a fun time making this clown inspired lolita coordinate!

To say that I have a lot of sweet-themed accessories is a bit of an understatement!

Jumperskirt - Maxicimam
Blouse - Glitter Tale
Hairbow - The Little Bow Bakery
Plastic Barrette - Baby, The Stars Shine Bright
Frosted Barrette - BB&B Deco

To add some clown aesthetic to my coordinate, I added a ruffled collar. This little gem is from Amazon and on $11! Additionally, I opted to design a clown mask with simplified make up. I really enjoyed being able to play around with it! I used a blend of pink and yellow eye shadow, white face paint to make the circles and this great chunky glitter that I found on Amazon, too!

The pink make up I bought did not work for the nose, so I used lipstick. The color stayed in all day long and well into the evening, hooray!

The series Melty Cream Doughnut by Angelic Pretty is one of my favorite releases! I am so happy that I was able to get my hands on the pink jumperskirt during the series re-release a few years ago.
