~Lolita Picnic 20th of July 2011~

At the 20th of July 2011, me and two of my sisters went to a Lolita meetup. And this was while my friend Andrea was visiting from Stockholm, so she was also there. :)
Here are some pictures:

We had a really nice time and the weather was great! We even got interviewed by a local tv-channel. ^^v

~International Lolita Day - 4th of June 2011~

As all of you probably know this years (summer) International Lolita Day was on the 4th of June. So I met up with a few local Lolitas, and had a really nice time. :)

Me, My niece Enika and my sister Anette

Anette slicing up the cheesecake. It was really yummy. :3

My friend Fanny had just bought a IW skirt second hand, so she decided to come to our meetup. She's not a lolita but she enjoys the fashion anyway. And she has a really cute style of her own. :)

Maria and Fanny. :)

Maria in her new wig. :)

Fanny also brought her BJD doll with her, her name is Cloud. :)

My sister Sanna and a fashionable young man named Olow. :)

Me and my sister Klara. (she did not wear Lolita this time, but it was nice of her to show up anyway. :) )

Klara and Enika. :)

Enika and Anette. :) Daughter and Mother.

So that's the pictures from our little picnic meetup. :) We were only about 7 people wearing Lolita or Kodona/Dandy/Aristocrat clothing. But it was a really nice meetup. :)

How did you celebrate International Lolita Day?

~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

~19 June 2010, Victorian era picnic~

I know I've been crazy late with my updates, but I guess when the summer weather comes you just want to be outside and do more fun stuff than just sit by your computer all day. ^^v

But now for the (very late) update:
19th of June I went to a Victorian era picnic, it was alot of fun, allthough the weather could definatly have been better. ^^v

I think the only brand (or sort of brand) things I wore were:
My Baby the stars shine bright necklace
and Bodyline bag, which is a replica of IWs house-bag. ^^

Me and my sisters, and my neice. ^^

My mum made my dress for me, I'm really pleased with it, it's so pretty. ^^

Everyone who showed up. ^^ (exept for my sister Sanna who took the picture.)

Typical english-weather? ;D just kidding. ^^v
At first we sat on the floor inside a house, beacuse of the horrid weather, then we found a dining-room in that house, where we sat for a few hours. Then we went outside to take pictures, then some people left and the rest of us took the picnic outside and after awhile the rain returned, ergo the umbrellas. ^^v

I had a lot of fun, and it was fun with another themed picnic. ^^
We also got to know about an victorian era game called "poor pussy", which was that they sat in a ring/circle, and then one got to be "poor pussy", crawling on all four on the floor, sounding like a sad cat, when that person the "poor pussy" stopped infrot of a person, that person had to say "poor pussy", with a straight face and pat the "poor pussy" on the head. If that person sucseeded with that task, the "poor pussy" had to crawl to a new person, but if the person didn't sucseed and laughed/didn't have a straight face, that person became the new "poor pussy", and so the game continued. ~ It was just some fun facts Tsuyu told us about. ^^

~Lolita day! 5th of June 2010~

On the international Lolita day I went to a local Lolita picnic. ^^

I curled my hair and wore a hat that my sister Anette made for me. ^^

Outfit:
Bolero: Bodyline
JSK: Angelic Pretty
The rest: Offbrand. ^^v

So this is how the dress I bought second hand looks. I absolutly love it. ^_^

My niece Enika, me and my sister Sanna.~

My sisters Klara and Anette, Enika and Klaras boyfriends daughter Lilja. ^^

I got to talk to Tsuyu for the first time, he's such a sweetheart. ^^
I really enjoyed talking to him and he's super cute. ^^

I wanted a photo with some other lolitas. ^^
Louise, Tove, Tsuyu and myself. ^^v
(there where more people there but I'm to lazy to upload a whole bunch of pictures. sorry. ^^v)


This meetup were alot more fun then the other one, since this time we all sat in a circle and could see and talk to everyone there. we were not in little groups this time, so like I said, that's a plus. ^^v
It was sort of special since the local newspaper interviewed some of us and took photos. ^^ the journalists were really nice and professional. Now I'm really looking forward to see the artical about this. But I'll have to wait until next Saturday. ^^

~8 May 2010, Lolita picnic~

Outfit:
Dress: Love Nadia JSK from Bodyline
Cardigan/Bolero: Bodyline, (modified by my mum)

Shoes: Montreal (LittleChiliLolitaShop @ Ebay.com)

So today I went to a Lolita picnic in Umeå, Sweden. The first one this year actually. We are'nt so many, but more than before, and I don't know all of the people who showed up, but my sisters and a friend of mine showed up with me. ^^

Me at the picnic.
It was good weather, and warm enough, allthough it wasn't summer warmth yet. But better than I had hoped for. ^^v

Two of my sisters, Sanna and Anette. (My other sister Klara was also there, she also wore Lolita from Bodyline, like my two sisters on the picture here. ^^)

My friend and classmate Amanda showed up, even though she doesn't wear lolita, or know much about it, she had a very cute outfit, who looked pretty gothic lolita-ish. ^^
(you can also see a few of the other lolitas who showed up, in the background.)

Yummy! ^__^

He he, a picture of me and my sister will end the pictures from today. (We were goofing around when we were putting on make up and putting on our dresses. :P )

I didn't take that many good pictures, that's why there are so few, but better than nothing, right? ^^v
I think there was only two people who wore Lolita brand clothing (from Angelic Pretty). But I belive that doesn't matter, I think you can look just as good in Bodyline anyways. (I got a bit angry at a person who was bashing Bodyline when almost everyone there was wearing it. o.O and she wasn't exactly silent about it.) (we sat in two different groups so I couldn't really tell her what I thought, from where I sat.) But I don't really got the energy to care about it, it sucks that she had to be so mean, but I know that you can look amazing both in Brand Lolita clothing and offbrand Lolita clothing. For me it doesn't matter if it's brand or not.

Anyway. I had a nice time, and the weather was nice. ^^ allthough we didn't stay long, the picnic began 13.00, and me, my sisters and a few friends went home around 15.00. But it got a bit cold then and we were all kind of tired so we decided to leave. ^^
So it's sad that the picnic got sort of devided, everyone wasn't really able to talk to everyone there, we sort of got seperated into two groups, like I said. ~ But apart from that, it was a great time. ^^v
