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! 

More talking.

Hi guys. Since only one person commented on the post specifically asking for opinions, we'll have to go with that option. It was said that i should go with lolita items. I will because when you have no competition it's easy to win. Since i couldn't decide on which type of lolita things to give away i finally settled on bittersweet items.

I'm going to go shopping tomorrow so i'll see what i find.

20 followers give away ideas!

Hi guys. I'm so close to getting 20 followers. Yay! So i've been thinking for awhile about doing a giveaway for awhile now. I'm not sure what to giveaway. A lot of little things? A few bigger things?

So i'm asking all of you of what you would like to win. Since you'll be doing the winning i want it to be things you  want.

Gothic items (necklaces, rings, bracelets, make up, hair things.)
Lolita items (hairbows, socks, rings, necklaces.)
Fairy kei items (hair things, socks, tights, a t shirt, necklaces, rings, bracelets.)
Gyaru items (eyelashes, make up, jewelry, tights.)

Or a mixture of these, or i post a big pile of these things and it's more of a lucky pack type thing. Thanks for your help! 

Fucking Deer!

As you guys know deer are one of my favorite lolita motifs. They are so fucking cute. How can anyone resist them? Well probably a lot of people can but i can't. While we might technically have one or two months left of winter. I'm going to celebrate spring time now with a list of the some of the deer prints i found.

Lotta print skirt by innocent world

You already know my opinion on this.

10th anniversary innocent world skirt by innocent world (i'm not sure on the official name.)

A new high want for me. It has deer and rabits eating cake how is that not amazing?!

Delft lotta skirt by innocent world

They have the best deer prints.

Milky-chan of the fawn by Angelic pretty

I like this better then the print skirt cause it's super busy and this is more classically sweet.

Tales of the wood by Metamorphose

This is so cute! How did this come out in 2011? I never saw it. I need this in my life. 

Bambi print by Emily temple cute

This would be cut if it wasn't for the foxes.

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!

Behold! The almighty cupcake shoes!

Yes as soon as i put up the hiatus sign i had a rush of post ideas. Oh how i hate timing. So heres a cute little post about a pair of cupcake shoes i made at converses' site.

I wrote cupcake shoe on the back. I wanted to write 'The almighty cupcake shoe' but it was too long.
I would wear these shoes with everything all the time. Since i have a habit of wearing boots (for the winter atleast.) so often that by the end of winter they need new insoles because i wore the other ones out. The pair i have right now is uncomfortable because i haven't replaced the insoles and there's almost nothing separating my feet from the ground.

These are 70 dollars and i really want them,but yeah don't have that right now. If you want to buy them then you'd have to recreate them and buy them yourself. Heres what my bar looked like:

I don't care about the design because i can't be the first person to go around with cupcake shoes. 

Rococo Lolita

Hello everyone. I've always loved classic lolita next to gothic it was my favorite style. I didn't really like sweet back then. (If you hadn't noticed the posts on here it got me eventually. :P)

My favorite style of classic is the more rococo inspired dresses. With the right coordination you could appear to have stepped right out of a book. Curly hair piled high up on your head was popular. Maybe with a few curls hanging down. Make up back then was full of lead and mercury (among other ridiculously poisonous metals.) so don't try to be ~*oh so hardcore*~ you'll end up dead. Waists were tiny with the help of tightly laced corsets. Corsets aren't necessary for classic lolita.  

All pictures are from hello lace with dresses from angelic pretty, baby, millefleur, innocent world, and mary magdelene. 

Day 29 & 30 Completed lolita challenge!
