An endless supply of rant and pictures.

Hi guys sorry for being so dead around here. Well i'm here to supply you with some lovely pictures. The giveaway things! Yay! It was a hard descision to find things you guys might like because i don't really know any of you. I hope you like them.

On thursday i went around collecting bottles so nothing fancy.
Les mis cast shirt from highschool, and some baby pink pants. oh yeah.

The next day i went down to the highschool to collect more bottles and this was what i wore to the bottle return place. People were surprised that i looked so normal but i don't want to get bottle/can ick on my clothes.

Book club shirt and black pants

Then today i went to the mall, because my mom said she would drive me. I got all dressed up in Wonder cookie. I've worn it a lot since i've bought it, but heres actual proof i own it. 


And heres a boob  necklace shot since you can't see it above.  

Now for the part all of you care about. It took me a long time to find good things. The bittersweet theme was actually much harder then i thought. It would've been easier for full on goth, or classical lolita. Whatever i found these things.

A black bow i found in a thrift store
Thigh high black/white striped socks from hot topic
Rainbow wire heart necklace from claires
White wrist cuffs from claires.

I totally love those wrist cuffs and might have to go back to get my own pair. I'll make a separate post for the giveaway so you're not linking to a random post of some of my outfits. Whoot!

Bittersweet lolita

Hi guys. I've been meaning to write this post for a while now. I've been super busy, since i failed two of my classes at my school. My mom won't pay for me to retake them. (they were one of my english classes and my math class.) So now i'm going to go to a  community college down in a city near me. Of course since i lived at school i'll have to move out now. Which is what we're planning on doing today. I lost xavier (my digital camera) a while ago so this would be awesome for a photo posts, but i can't give you that since i lost him. Oh well. Onto the post.

I want this print so bad.

Bittersweet lolita is one of the substyles of lolita. It's darker then sweet but sweeter then gothic. It mainly uses sweet prints with black as the main color, or part of the print. PinkxBlack is a very popular colorway, but it can be any color mixed with black. Some brands (and bodyline) have released prints in a black colorway. Angelic pretty is one of the most popular, metamorphose, and baby. I like it because i'm not stuck  between the 'throw up rainbow pastel' sweet and the 'beautifully decadent' gothic pieces. I can have the sweet prints i adore while still being adorable. I also have much more black clothes than any other color so i can coordinate the prints as well. It's really useless if you have a lot of sweet prints but completely unable to coordinate them. It's not a very popular substyle but i like it. If you like it then it doesn't matter how popular it is. 

Heres the daily_lolita bittersweet tag so you can look at all the prettiness. Bodyline also has a good assortment of bittersweet clothes.

Lolita in the city!

I found this picture from google images but this is the site that the picture linked to.


Hello everyone. On Saturday i got my wonder cookie skirt. If xavier wasn't lost then i would fill this post with how pretty it is. Oh well i'm sure as soon as i buy another one i'll find him. That's always the way it works. So today i decided to dress up and go down to the city. Even if there is not a god damn flake of snow on the ground it was still rather cold out. Not very windy which is good. I missed having layers and layers and layers of clothes on. By bus it takes about an hour to get to there. Which isn't so bad. I brought a good book with me. (The big bad wolf by James Patterson.) I went to a little cafe/bookshop and enjoyed the sights of new construction. The cafe is right across the street from some construction they've been doing forever it's not attractive. I had a lemon coconut scone and a cappuccino. They were delicious. 

I got a few compliments on my skirt even! Oh wonder cookie who can't you impress? I got stopped by three homeless people asking if i had any change. I felt really bad for them because i didn't. I wasn't lying either, i used a bus pass to get down and was using my debit card. I guess that's what you get for dressing elaborately. I didn't stay long i got on the 3:10 bus back home. So maybe it was two hours? Excluding travel time. The bus was packed too. I had a seat until about fifteen or so minutes into the trip, when an old guy on the bus so i stood up for him. The bus was so packed a lot of people had to keep standing when they got on. I didn't get to sit for the rest of the ride. My feet killed by the time i got home. Petticoats aren't good for buses either they take up a super amount of space.

Here are a few tips for traveling in lolita just to make this less boring.

  • Know where you're going and what type of place it is. 
  • Traveling in daylight is best especially in winter where it dark earlier. If you're not driving you should probably get home before it gets dark. 
  • Be courteous on the bus, train, subway, whatever. Hold your petticoat to stop it from overtaking seats.
  • Be smart about where you're walking. I stay in the downtown area because that's where i know and i won't get lost.
  • Carry something like pepper spray or a small knife for protection. I joke that platform stilettos would always work in a pinch but try to be more prepared then that.
  • What's ever in your wallet is much less important then your life. If things get really serious just give them the wallet. You can replace everything that's in there and you'll be happy to have walked away with your life.
So yes while i know that most of these are kind of obvious. It's still important. So don't be an idiot when traveling because i'm pretty sure that you guys aren't. Have fun!
