Elf Fantasy Fair Haarzuilens 2013

Last week I went to the Elf Fantasy Fair, like I told you when I showed my outfit. First I wasn't sure about going just for one day or the whole weekend. I already bought my Saturday ticket but I was too tired in the evening to visit the EFF on Sunday. It was an amazing day! I saw so many friends and even a few friends which I haven't seen for about half a year. My life is far too busy these days...It was so great to talk with them again. ^__^

A wonderful visitor

I needed to travel to Haarzuilens all alone, so I was a little bit scared at first. I don't like to the travel all alone when wearing lolita. I guess I was worrying too much, many people were really nice to me and asked where I was going and why I was dressed up like that. In the morning I went to visit some shops at the market with Simone, her boyfriend and a friend. Then I met up with Marcella and her boyfriend by accident, I was so surprised because when I talked to her last time she wasn't sure about visiting the Elf. There should have been a lolita meeting at 13.00 only just a few lolitas showed up and the group left. My day existed finding out where my friends where, there where so many people at the Elf Fantasy Fair there is no way you can find someone easily! Then I was only left with Damien and his partner, we lost all the others. We went to the steampunk area, it was awesome! All those amazing detailed costumes and furniture. That's why I like steampunk so much.

After that I saw some frogs in the water ~~ I love frogs so I had to take a picture!

The frogs 

After visiting some shops I saw my friend Rosy and I decided to go to a lecture from Linda Ravenscroft with her. The lecture was great, she even showed some of her original works. ^__^ She is such a wonderful person. 

Then we did some shopping, I bought a book from Oscar Wilde and a muffin. I already ate the muffin (!!) and maybe I will show the book later. 

I don't have many pictures for on my blog. Please visit Damiëns blog for amazing Elf Fantasy Fair pictures!

This is it for now, maybe I get more pictures soon?

Lolita Wardrobe 2013

It's the time of the year again, for the lolita wardrobe post! My favorite theme of the year on the EGL community. I'm again a little bit scared to make a post on the EGL community and I don't have enough time to do it either. That's why I decided to only make post on my blog...

My wardrobe changed a lot through the year, I sold about half of my lolita wardrobe and I bought a few new items. I also made a few handmade items. I'm so much happier with my wardrobe compared with last year, I love every piece of clothing. It's still half gothic and half sweet, it's not impossible you know! ^__~

I forgot to show the umbrellas and probably some more items, I couldn't find anything.
I'm waiting for new shoes and for an amazing shirt, I tell you the details later!

Like I said before my lolita wardrobe changed a lot through the year.

I think I created a nice balance between brand, offbrand, indie brand and handmade.

An all brand wardrobe is too expensive for me because I am a student and I don't have that much money. Handmade, offbrand and Indie brand make outfits more unique and I love to wear outfits which are totally my taste and a little bit different than other lolita outfits. 

Things I should buy this year:

- Pink cardigans 

- A new black hat

- More stockings

- Pink shoes

- Pink Angelic Pretty Socks & other socks

- Hair flowers

- Sweet lolita bag

-  Black gather belt bloomers  

Things I shouldn't buy:

- Headbows

- Hair accessories (except for hats)

- Too short dresses

- No metamorphose skirts or dresses (instead of those items, buy socks or hats)

- Expensive (brand) blouses

That's it! This is my wardrobe for this year, I hope you all like it! ^____^  Thanks for watching <3

LBC: Underrated colors

Hello everyone!

It was so lovely to read all your posts last week, unfortunately I couldn't find the time to comment on every blog. I really enjoyed reading about all your favorite dresses. ^___^

This week's theme is underrated colors, I really like to talk about this subject. I have this kind of feeling that most of the lolitas stick to the more popular colors because they are afraid do something wrong. There is nothing wrong with more popular colors like black, pink, blue and brown. 

The most underrated color is green because it's a beautiful and elegant color. There are many variations of the color green, there is no way  to be bored of the color green. One of the misunderstanding about green lolita clothes is that those clothes are cheap or only suitable for ita's. 

That's not true! Green is not cheap, it's all about the fabric and dress design. I want to show you some of the variations of the color green with this color scheme.

Now I want to show some amazing examples of green lolita. Many lolitas think that there are no or just a little green lolita dresses only that's not true. There are many green dresses even from the most popular lolita brands.

Maybe you are wondering about me, if you talking so much only about the color green instead of more underrated colors then you must have a green lolita dress, right? It's true, I just have one green lolita dress, I'm pretty sure that this won't be the last.  In the beginning of the year I saw the new release from Moi-même-Moitié and I really loved that dress. Guess what happened? I missed the release, it was already sold out in one day. It made me really sad... A few days after that I decided to make a green dress myself inspired on the beautiful Moitié JSK. In the end it's really different than the dress from Moitié only I really satisfied with the result.  It was so much work, I hope you will like it. ^__^

Thanks for reading and I hope this post will change your opinion about the color green. It's an amazing elegant color and perfect for gothic lolita and classic lolita.
