Mannequin Snap: Casual Blue Perfume

I’ve been dreaming of this coordinate since I got this skirt! Sure, it’s with a different pair of shoes and a different bag from what I’d originally intended (had ordered navy blue shoes from Secret Shop but the order didn’t go through - too few people wanted the colour), but I think it still looks pretty good :)

I love straw hats and parasols in Lolita coordinates :D This ensemble should be worn with a low updo with wispy strands around the face to complement the summery look. If I could choose a second pair of shoes and bag, I would definitely choose something in beige or ivory to match the parasol.

JSK: Innocent World Viennese Waltz

Blouse: Innocent World LP Short Sleeved Blouse with Jabot

Socks: Metamorphose

Bag: Innocent World Rose Lace Book Bag

Parasol: Baby the Stars Shine Bright

Hat: Forever 21

Gloves, Necklace, Shoes: Offbrand

A casual coordinate with a JSK because I’m always wearing casual classic! It seems so natural to pair this JSK with soft pink – such a sweet colour combination!

This is a more formal coordinate for the Viennese Waltz JSK, which can also be worn on special occasions like official meet-ups :D Layering the blouse and bolero is a little too warm for this country, but it’s something I’d probably wear if I were to attend a Lolita meet-up in another country with a colder climate. I rather like Bordeaux and light blue together – Bordeaux gives any outfit a lush feeling, while light blue softens the effect so that it still looks sweet despite the rich colour.

Another ordinary coordinate to let the focus stay on the JSK’s print, since it’s also quite intricate upclose!

Socks: Metamorphose

Bag: Innocent World Rose Lace Book Bag

This is coordinate is rather similar to the #1 ordinary coordinate, but swaps the blouse for the Bordeaux bolero. I rather like the sudden splash of Bordeaux here.

A summery casual country coordinate! This skirt has a rough sort of texture that really makes me think of picnics and country Lolita. Best to pair this with a picnic basket :D

Non-loli coordinate for Juliette et Justine La Robe du Chateau in Blue!

I was too excited about this dress, so I wore it out this afternoon for our Independence Day/sister’s birthday lunch :D It’s a bit low-cut for me without a blouse, so I paired it with pale pink to match the roses on the dress. The shoes don’t really match, but they were the closest shade of pink I could find - the only other pair of matching shoes that I had were white and had killer heels!

Can’t see from the photo, but my hair is half-tied back with a really big pink bow that matches the chiffon blouse :D

JSK: Juliette et Justine

Shoes: LK Bennett

Bag & Bracelet: Louis Vuitton

Lolita Meet-Up! Mori-Classic-Country Lolita Outfit I finally had a chance to go to another lolita meet-up today! I really wanted to wear a print, but for some reason this scarf and blouse just kept floating about in my mind, and nothing else seemed to look good. So I wore this outfit :D The luggage bag holds my clothes from this morning’s facial ^^; Blouse: Miss Selfridge JSK: Innocent World - Eleonore Hair combs (the green ribbons): Metamorphose Shawl: Warehouse Bag: Calvin Klein Earrings, Jewellery, Beret, Pink Hair Bow, Luggage, Tights, Shoes: Offbrand

BtSSB & AatP Lucky Pack haul!

Finally got my parcel from customs :D I’m really happy with the Baby blouse & dress set, and the AatP navy blouse and bonnets from the Variety packs!

Totally in love with the whole Briar Rose Rabbit set, of course.

Though I’m probably gonna sell half the stuff, I’m pretty happy with what I got! Yay :D
