Actual sailor lolita

I'm Marianne, a lolita fashion enthusiast living in Canada. I mostly wear Country, Classic and Gothic lolita, but you will see me wearing other lolita styles too! Welcome to my lolita blog!

Not having a good day, hoping some oldschool AP will cheer me up ❤️ In other news, this is proof that Angelic Pretty has always been this short 😆 #lolitafashion #harajukufashion #oldschoollolita #traditionallolita #japanesefashion #egl #eglfashion #eglcommunity #lolitafashion #lolitacommunity #lolitacoord #lolitadress #ロリータ #ロリータファッション #sweetlolita #kawaii #kawaiifashion #countrylolita #angelicpretty #btssb #babythestarsshinebright #metamorphosetempsdefille #alternativefashion #streetfashion #altfashion #altmodel #ootd #bonnet #stripedsocks #bloomers (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_nB-C4jxqP/?igshid=13knj38tt3pn6

I’m really feeling the retro inspiration these days. This is Angelic Pretty Fantastic Dolly with a new velveteen hat from SweetDreamer. I incorporated a lovely necklace made by my friend Mélissa @vanille_chocolat503m, and a Victorian Maiden cutsew. Shoes and perfume bag from Aldo.

After seeing the very sad sale listing of a Fantastic Dolly OP badly dyed black, I am so grateful to own it, in mint condition, 7 years after its release. I made a coord for it using a new beret I got commissioned on Taobao especially to match it.

A more casual Venice-inspired coord for the mild weather. I’ve actually been to Venice and that’s why I like this modified Bodyline skirt so much. (It used to be a dress but I’ve removed the bodice.) The jacket and shoes are thrifted. Parasol by Meta. Blouse by Surface Spell. Bag is from Aldo.

This “librarian of the macabre” themed coordinate is inspired by my most recent read, From Here To Eternity, by mortician Caitlin Doughty, which relates some unknown funeral practices from around the globe in a fun and thought-provoking way. 💀 I used Psyche ~The Doctor and the Eternal Sunshine~ JSK, by Alice and the Pirates, and the rest is thrifty finds! What do you think about the black and brown colour scheme? Personally I love it! 📚

Outfit planning for last meetup~

Wearing a BTSSB lace blouse and IW underbust dress to survive the heat! When actually wearing the coord I went for 2 Innocent World bow clips instead of the hat to be more weather-appropriate 🎀

I went with some friends to the French Café (EGL fashion) event Expelliarmus and now I finally feel like I’ve lived out my best Harry Potter life ✨

(I steamed the Beauxbatons hat myself and the super lovely Pascaline made the cape! The OP is Angelic Pretty, the butterfly shoes are F-troupe and the bag is Aspinal of London. The wand was handmade by the event organisers!)

Circus Tree: Six individual sycamore trees were shaped, bent, and braided to form this.

[gwydtheunusual]

Actually pretty easy. Trees don’t reject tissue from other trees in the same family. You bend the tree to another tree when it is a sapling, scrape off the bark on both trees where they touch, add some damp sphagnum moss around them to keep everything slightly moist and bind them together.  Then wait a few years- The trees will have grown together.  You can use a similar technique to graft a lemon branch or a lime branch or even both- onto an orange tree and have one tree that has all three fruits. Frankentrees.

As a biologist I can clearly state that plants are fucking weird and you should probably be slightly afraid of them.

On that note! At the university (UBC) located in town, the Agriculture students were told by their teacher that a tree flipped upside down would die. So they took an excavator and flipped the tree upside down. And it’s still growing. But the branches are now the roots, and the roots are now these super gnarly looking branches. Be afraid.

But Vi, how can you mention that and NOT post a picture? D:

[sashiscorner]

I am both amazed and horrified of nature as we all should be

[jadedsoggy]

I love how trees are like “fuck it, I’ll deal” at literally everything. Forest fire? Cool, my seeds’ll finally grow. Upside down? Branches, suck, roots, leave. What’s this new branch? Eh, welcome to the tree buddy.

[rooksandravens]

I need to be more like tree

[azzandra]

I continue to fear and respect out arboreal overlords.

[fuckyeahwomenprotesting]

what kind of professor did these students have that they needed to prove him wrong so badly that they literally dug up a tree, flipped it and put it back in the ground?

[sailorofships]

Sounds like y’all’ve never heard about the Tree of 40 Fruits. Well, it’s exactly as it sounds. Sam Van Aken, an artist based in New York, decided to try his hand at grafting (e.g. the process by which you attach the branches of a different tree to a host tree).

As artists are inclined to do he decided to push some limits and over the course of a few years he grafted over 40 different fruit onto the host “ including almond, apricot, cherry, nectarine, peach and plum varieties.”

It has a fruiting period lasting from July to October and this is what it looks like when blossoming.

Shit’s tight yo.

Also we have a group called the Guerrilla Grafters. A group who started in San Fransisco with the goal of grafting fruiting branches onto non-fruiting trees of the same type.

Most cities have fruit trees that simply don’t produce fruit because having all these would be a mess and inadvertently providing unregulated food to people comes with a lot of legal risks I suppose. These grafters seem to think otherwise and have taken it upon themselves to try and bring fruit trees back to urban areas.

HOLY SHIT
