~22nd of October 2011, Lolita meetup~

The 22nd of October I went to another Lolita meetup with my local community at a café.

My cousin Jonas came and sat with us for awhile. ^^

A new and adoreable face to come to our meetup was Mimmi. She came later (when Jonas left) and she had an amazing story to tell, she had been in a car accident just the day before but she wanted to stop by to say hello anyway. It was very nice to meet her. :)

Group photo with everyone exept Mia who took the picture. ^^v

Mia in her homemade dress. She's really good at sewing. ^^

And Me in my favorite Baby the stars shine bright JSK.

I'm really looking forward to the December meetups we are planning. ^^v

~Lolita Meme - Answers~

Meme from: F Yeah Lolita.

1. Best Lolita fashion advice you've ever received?

I've had a lot of Lolita fashion advice, such as be yourself and dare to break the rules a little, but the most recent one is to use a Crinoline underskirt instead of the more common ones made of tulle. I have a few tulle ones, but after just a little while they turn useless for keeping my skirt puffy, so I'm going to save up for a crinoline one as soon as possible. My friend Andrea has one, and her skirts looks amazing with the crinoline underneath.

2. Style icons?

Oh my, I don't know if I have anyone in particular. But both my friend Andrea and my friend Malin are great inspirations for the Lolita fashion. But other than that I look at Lolita fashion tumblrs, such as: Sweet Lolita Tumblr. So other Lolitas are my style icons, they inspire me.

3. Describe your personal style.

My Lolita style is a mixture of Classic and Sweet. ^^ I prefer wearing cardigans/boleros with my JSKs, instead of Blouses, however, I do wear blouses sometimes, when I feel like it. So I suppose my Lolita style is a bit down to earth, but still cute and lovely. I'm not so much over the top sweet, but a more classical sweet Lolita.

4. Favorite designers/brands?

My favorite brand is Baby the stars shine bright. They have very pretty prints, but doesn't go as much over the top with thier sweet fashion as AP can do. Also I really love the brand Innocent World aswell. But I do enjoy all of the Lolita brands in their own way.

5. Most cherished items?

I think that is my only Angelic Pretty piece, a pink polkadot JSK, and also my newest Baby the stars shine bright JSK, black with flowers. But also my RHS from ebay and my Baby necklace. I suppose I cherish all my Lolita clothes/items. The once my mother has made aswell. so I can't really think of one, to be honest.

6. Most used item?

I think it is either my Baby necklace or my RHS. But as far as dresses go I have to say: my AP JSK or my Meta JSK.

7. I feel best wearing?

Either my black Baby JSK or the one I wore for this years international Lolita day.

8. The first thing I look for in another Lolita's outfit...

The coordination, how everything is put together and how that looks. But I suppose the dresses and skirts, the headpieces and necklaces catches my eyes pretty fast.

9. Lolita Fashion rule you never break?

I'm trying to remeber all the rules but right now I can't really tell wich ones I never break. I suppose I have my own idea of how I want to wear Lolita fashion, so I stick to how I want it. I don't care much for rules. but I would never try to wear Lolita in a erotic/sexy way.

10. Never caught wearing?

I have no idea. but clothes that don't fit me, or that I feel looks tacky.

11. Dress to impress who?

Myself. I don't dress for other people, mostly I dress for myself. I wear what I feel is pretty and how I want it. So that I feel good about myself.

12. Your next "must have" purchase?

Crinoline. A black Bolero. More stockings and new dresses. I don't have any specific dresses in mind, probably something homemade. (I'm saving up money for a new Computer and phone, so there will not be any new brand dresses for quite a while now.)

13. Favorite type of head accessory?

Flowers. hairclips with flowers, diadem with flowers and so on. Ribbons are also cute, but mostly it's flowers or/and butterflies in my hair.

14. Favorite cut of clothing (shirring, high waist, princess seams etc)?

I like shirring, but mostly on brand pieces, homemade ones are made after my bodyshape, so I don't need shirring then. JSKs rather than OPs. Cardigan/Boleros rather than Blouses.

15. Current obsession?

I don't know. But I really want that crinoline, so right now that's my obsession I suppose. But other than that. I want more dresses like the one I wore for the international Lolita day, wich I linked in question number 7. but with all kinds of different fabrics, prints and so forth.

16. Best Lolita fashion advice you can give to anyone:

Be yourself, have fun with the fashion. Concider "the rules" of the fashion more as guidelines than rules. But also knowlage is power, before you jump into the fashion, read about it, try to get your own idea of how you want it to be and make it work. Good Luck! :)

~Lisa, it's your birthday (4th of January)~

Happy birthday, Lisa! ^^v

Okay, this was a week ago, but still:

I turned 21 at the 4th of January 2011. :D

I wore my lovely Metamorphose JSK and a cute necklace I brought in England. ^^

I also wore the earrings my dad brought home with him from his trip to Peru.

And this is what I got:

Shampoo & Conditioner from the Bodyshop. ^^

Marabou white chocolate! ^^

600SEK.

And an HARMONICA.

Felicias mother, who's also my friend, she brought me the harmonica, she's crazy that lady, but I love her. I don't know how to play an harmonica, but I will try to learn, just like the ukulele she gave me last year. But it's hard since I don't have a teacher for any of those.

The day after my birthday my two other sisters came to congratulate me, then I got:

Hello Kitty necklace and HK "fun n' games" book.
200SEK

and my other sister brought a leeke world wig for my MSD BJD, Zoë, so I'm still waiting for it to be shipped. ^^v

So for some of my birthday money I bought Kingdom Hearts 2 (on sale) for PS2. So now I've borrowed a ps2 from my oldest sister so I can play it. ^^v (when I've moved out, gotten myself an apartment, then I'll probably by a PS3 so I can play ps2 games on it aswell. So it's not a waste of money, that game. ^^v But now I have to buy the first Kingdom Hearts, I didn't notice that I brought the second game until I got home, but I don't mind playing the games in the wrong order. I've played the first one before anyways.~)

I had a very quiet and nice birthday this year. ^^

~Lolita Christmas Meetup~

I went to a Lolita meetup on the 18th of December.
It was christmas/winter theme.

I had curled my hair by rolling my hair up and then slept with it rolled up.

Me and my sister Sanna.
She was wearing a Metamorphose dress while I was only wearing homemade clothes. ^^v

At the meetup:

We swaped christmas gifts:

Everyone who showed up to the meetup:

I had a really lovely time. ^^ It was nice to go to a Lolita meetup, it's been quite awhile since my last meetup, unfortunatly. Let's hope there will be more Lolita meetups this winter. ^^

~9th of October, Lolita meetup and Tiara pics~

9th of October I went to a Lolita gathering. We went to a café, ate some cake and then we took some pictures in the park outside. ^^ It was alot of fun. everyone is so nice and sweet. ^^

I wore my new Metamorphose JSK, it worked so well for the Autumn theme I was going for. ^^
After the meetup me and my sister went back to our friend Malin, she was with us to the Lolita meetup, but she's not in the pictures since she doesn't want to be in pictures.

Here are two pictures of Tiara:

~5th of September 2010 - Metamorphose JSK~

First off, sorry for the superlate posting. But I've been busy busy busy. I've got school and I've been sick alot.

But now almost a month later here are some pictures of me in my Metamorphose JSK:

I really like this dress, simple but cute. ^^

//Risa-chan

~My newest Lolita Jsk!~

The 2nd of September I went home to my parents place over the weekend and this lovely Metamorphose JSK was at home waiting for me:

I bought it from a friend from south of Sweden, she got if from this years lucky pack! ^^
It's really really pretty, however I think it looks a bit wierd over my bust, the shirring doesn't want to play nice there, (it's probably just in my head) but I think it will work just fine with a bolero/cardigan over it. ^^
I'm really happy with it, I will wear it tomorrow when I'm going back to school again. ^^

~Local Market, 10 July 2010.~

This day I went to a local market, which is in the area I live, three days in a row, once a year.

This year I looked like this:

Outfit:

Blouse: Made by my mum
JSK: Baby the stars shine bright
Bag: Bodyline
The rest: offbrand

This year I met up with Andrea. (author of Imperial Fiddlesticks)
I guess it's become a little bit of a tradition, or begining to be a tradition, to meet up with her at this specific Local Market every year. ^^ It's a very nice traditon in my opinion. ^^v

Neither of us bought much at the market except for lunch and water/fanta.
However this year the weather was much better, last year it rained so much we had to run and take cover at the apartment I lived in at the time. This year it only came a few drops falling from the sky, and only for a little while. ^^v

Andrea, stunningly pretty as usual. ^^ Her metamorphose dress was also wonderful, and suited her perfectly. ^^
I'm really looking forward meeting her some more this summer. We will meet again at the BJD-meet up we're having 17th of July. (when I will take home my first BJD! Yay! ^^)

~3 July 2010, Lolita picnic, Princess themed.~

3rd of July I went to a Lolita picnic with Princess/Hime theme. ^^

My sister Anette made a Hime-hairdo on me, and curled the rest of my hair. ^^
Outfit:
Tiara: offbrand
Necklace: Baby the stars shine bright.
Cardigan: Halens (swedish mailorder clothing store)

JSK: Angelic Pretty
Bag: Metamorphose
Tights/Leggings: Offbrand.

Me, Sister Anette, Neice Enika and Sister Sanna. ^^v
As you, maybe can se, Sanna is wearing the Baby the stars shine bright JSK I bought awhile ago, she got to buy it from me, since I figured out it was a bit to tight for my bust. I kind of like to breathe, so. :P But she looks really cute in it so I'm glad I sold it. ^_^

L0uise and Tsuyu at the picnic. ^^

My sister Sanna (and a better look at her dress.), my sister Anette and Mia. ^^

Tove (in the background), Me and my neice Enika. ^^
Tove arranged the meetup, since it's the last one she can attend, she's going to move away from Umeå, she's moving down south here in Sweden. ^^ Good luck wishes to her. ^^v

A picture of everyone (exept two who went home early, and me who took the picture.)

Another picture with everyone, but with me in it, and Sanna out of it, since she took this picture. ^^v

After a day in Hime-puff and curls, my hair looked like this. ^^ I think it's awesome, wish my hair would look like that more often. ;D
