How to make a more eye popping lolita outfit

Want to make your lolita coord. stand out?

Not sure how to match and or style to create the perfect outfit?

Here are some quick tips to get you started~!

(nothing too out there, just other ways to match)

Pick a focal point of your outfit:

A specific dress, an awesome hat, or fantastic shoes

Find a color that is in the print of the dress, or color in the hat, or shoes

(it's more fun to pick a color that is not primary, like blue details on a purple dress)

Next, make sure you balance the color throughout the outfit

For example: My sugary carnival coord. (black jsk)

involved using blue and yellow as focal points.

(To start out just try one color)

To break my outfit into one color try:

(black jsk- with blue details

blue blouse

blue bow- off set by black wig

blue shoes

black socks

blue purse)

Very simple, and adds some pop to your conventional all matching outfit~!

Another simple way is to have the hair accessory match a color in the print, 

which then you add matching shoes~!

AM2Con 2012 Pics~!

I didn't take as many pics as I should have :( 

I am super worn out from both fri and sat.

It was epically fun, met amazing people, and got awesome stuff!

This con has the most EPIC artist alley ever!

Here are a couple photos:

(first outfit photo belongs to the photographer-copyright on photo bottom- but it's the only

photo I have of my coord.)

Day 1: Little Bear Cafe Brown Bear Outfit

Day 2: My Little Pony Sugary Carnival Bluexyellowxblack coord.

I'll add more to the post later, but for now I'm super tired, lol.

Lolita Purses

Now every sweet lolita knows that a purse is a key part of any coord

either in full out lolita or casually to walk around the mall.

I myself have many purses, including replica bags.

My experience was very positive and I am very happy with the replicas I got.

I cannot remember all the sellers, but be sure to do some research

before you purchase!

I have a btssb white violin purse, innocent world replica half violin in brown replica,

angelic pretty bow purse and star bag replicas as well.

Here is a quick pic of my brown half violin:

 (the bag charm is from lemontree11)

I absolutely love the quality of my bags (of course the dream of lolita bow and star

bags are not as nice as my violins, but still good)

Always remember when buying purses:

Does it have enough room for things I need during the day?

Does it match enough of my wardrobe both inside and out of lolita?

Can I easily hold/wear when wearing lolita?

and lastly,

If it's only for decoration (pony purses) do I mind carrying another

purse to hold all my stuff?

Thanks for reading! Hoping to do a video review really soon~!

Hunting the Auctions: Deals of the Week Idea

As we all know, sometimes the best way to get brand lolita outfits

is to stalk the japanese auction sites.

Never heard of them?

 A couple that I usually check are Mbok and Yahoo Auctions Japan.

You can get great deals, even with the low exchange rate!

I've bought many dresses through auction, and have used both Celga and

Cresent Shop.

I would have to say one of my favs that I got from an auction was

Angelic Pretty's Memorial Cake halter jsk in white for only 10,000 yen~!

I have a bad habit of stalking the auctions all the time (so many dresses so little money)

but sometimes if I find something that is an awesome deal and 

not my style (more gothic) I'll let my friend know. She looks gorgeous

in gothic lolita~!

Wondering if people would like to see a couple good deals posted every week?

Sometimes I know auctions are hard because they are over in couple

days and you kind of need at least half the money to bid, but who 

knows maybe I'll connect you to a dream dress~!

(BTW, I also found my memory card, so I'll be making videos very soon)

 

This week's deal is:

 Decoration Dream apron/sk combo in pink for only 10,000 yen!

Ends in less than a day, but maybe you really want it!

Down the Rabbit Hole Photoshoot

Here are the awesome photos from my shoot with my bf's little sister!

She did my makeup as well!

I guess there really wasn't a theme, but all the photos involve sweet or sailor lolita.

(Most of these are my instagram photos because they look cool, lol)

(Jsk: Dream of Lolita "Fantastic Dolly"  Lavender High Waisted Replica)

(Bodyline Sailor Op)

(Kidsyoyo "Marionette Girl"  Replica Op)

Hope you enjoyed the awesome photos!

I'll be doing another shoot soon, hopefully :)

Now to plan my AM2 Con outfits and Anime Expo outfits~!

Please look forward to them :)
