Elf fantasy fair Haarzuilens 2012

Hello dear followers~~

<> <> <> <>

I love this outfit!!! It's amazing!!

Yesterday I went to the Elf Fantasy Fair with my friend Rosy. ^___^

I was really looking forward to it because it's my favourite festival, I could meet many friends and meet new people. I hadn't slept well the night before so please ignore my face >.<

* that's the reason of the hearts on my face*

The sad thing about the EFF was that the weather was so bad. Rain and lots of wind, not so well if you wear a costume, lolita or whatever.

My deco stuff wasn't waterproof or windproof, I lost many things which I found back thanks to my friends and other visitors only I did not like that... I wanted to wear all the stuff not loosing it!

I even lost my contacts because of the wind O_o I found them again, that's a miracle (!) but yeah, it was still very stressfull...

Enough complaining, the weather didn't ruin my day! The EFF was still amazing! So many amazing outfits, a few examples:

Not many pictures but hopefully enough to give my followers a good impression. I just can't dressing up, modelling on pictures, meeting friends and photographing at the same time. I want to go sometimes just to make pretty pictures. ^__^

So, what did I do yesterday: first I went fixing my outfit, after that we went searching for a place without rain, then we met a friend of Rosy.

Then I went to all the nice shops on the market, after that the Lolita meeting started.

The lolita meeting was really short, also because of the weather, it started to rain after 20 minutes...

Not so nice if you wear lolita!
That's why everyone split up to another place, unfortunately!  

It was raining for more than an hour, that's why we stayed a while in a nice gothic shop.

With pretty clothes, I have lots of inspiration now!

After an hour the sun was back again, oh I can tell you, there are not many times I was so happy to see the sun! We went walking again, saw many amazing people and costumes.

Then we meet up again with the lolitas in the steampunk tent, yes that's possible. xD

     

Me (NyappyAnne), Danchelle and Simone

              

Inimimi found some friends, she is sitting on Danchelle's dress.

I hope Mimi won't like Angelic Pretty too much, that would be awful for my wallet!

I need to buy more dresses for myself not too many for Mimi~~

We stayed a while in the tent, after that we went to searching for Simone's friends.

Then we met Jannike, that was nice I haven't seen her since November.

Such a lovely outfit! ^__^

And now Rosy, she made this outfit herself! :D

And some pictures with myself on it:

Maybe I will show some more pictures, I'm not sure how many pictures I will get and if I like them enough, hahaha!
I can tell you that one photographer who made pictures from Rosy, Marcella and I at the EFF in Arcen also made some picture from me (and Rosy) at this EFF.
I hope I get them because I really liked those.

So that's all, after that we went home~~

And I was so tired...but it was a fun day!

I hope that everyone who went to the Elf Fantasy Fair had a nice day. And I really hope that the weather will be better next time.

So, I will see you at the next EFF.

And please don't be afraid to say 'hi' to me if you see me,

I don't mind if it's on the EFF or somewhere else.

Only I'm not sure if you will recognize me without my lolita wear, hahaha.

And and, I bought a wig (lockshop) and a ring before forget to tell it.

I will write about that soon.

Back to Black (EFF arcen 2011)

It's already a week ago since my last post on this blog..
The time is moving so fast, I couldn't find time for blogging last week.
I want to tell something about the Elf Fantasy Fair from this weekend, I went on Sunday.

The Elf Fantasy Fair is an outdoor fantasy event in the Netherlands which is traditionally held in April since 2001, but from 2009 it is held twice per year in Haarzuilens (in April at Castle de Haar) and in Arcen (in September at Castle Arcen). The Haarzuilens fair is the largest fantasy event in Europe and attracts some 22,500 visitors every year. The fair is managed by Stefan Struik since 2008, who also initiated the event in 2001. Apart from fantasy there is also representation from the science fiction, LARP, gothic, manga, cosplay and historical reenactment genres.

Since two years I go to both of the fairs, the one in Haarzuilens and to the one in Arcen. I have to admit, I like the fair in Arcen more, that's because of the location. For me it's very easy to travel to Arcen, it's only 20 minutes by car. The parc is very beautiful and there are lots of places without all the people so you can rest a little bit if you want to.

An impression of the parc:

Let's show you some more pictures from Sunday:

And some pictures from me & friends ^_^

Look at the shoes, I'm wearing Marcella's shoes xD

I think one of these days I will find some more pictures, if I like them I will post them on my blog!

About my outfit:
I decided to wear something black, everything in the outfit had to be black, silver or gold.
My theme was to look like a cute gothic lady, the make-up is Amy Winehouse inspired.
Although you cannot see it very well! I'm trying to improve my make-up skills, I hate it when people

can't see it while I worked so hard on it  >.<
I like this outfit, I spent much money on it but it's worth it... I do not regret it, I love gothic lolita.
At the moment more than sweet lolita.

Blouse: H&M
Socks: Metamorphose

About the Elf Fantasy Fair itself:
It was so much fun! I saw lots of amazing people who wore such a beautiful outfits,
I listened to some nice bands (and some awful bands xD), I met some of my friends and I met new nice people. One day is way to short, I wish I can go the whole weekend next year.
This year I couldn't go on Saterday because of my best friends' birthday, that's more important than the EFF of course!

Thank you for reading!

Preview for next sunday~~

Hello! ^___^

For the ones who live in Holland: Did you all survive the earthquake? Hahaha I'm joking it wasn't anything serious.. But I was very scared at first! I have never experienced a earthquake before..

Here is a little preview of what I'm going to wear next week wit the Elf Fantasy Fair in Arcen, I'm looking forward to it! The Elf fantasy Fair is a Dutch convention for people who want to be someone else for a day or they want to be him/herself for a day without all the negative reactions..
It's a festival for Goths, Lolitas, Cosplayers... I can go on for an hour, you can see everything that's not mainstream there. ^^

Oh and I'm wearing my new wig, what do you think about it? * I think it's so weird to have black hair xD*

I definitely not used to it, to have black hair.. I always wanted to have black hair though xD
Still I'm very happy it's a wig, you can put it off!
I very happy with the wig, it's so soft, I love the curls and of course the color. ^^

And my outfit? That's a secret! You will see it, at the EFF.
Oh and I nearly forgot to tell something, I have a new dress! A lolita dress!
Wasn't you challenging yourself to buy no lolita clothes again? Yes, I was...
At least I didn't bought it... I will show you soon... very sooooooooon!

Lolita transformation ~~

Not a real lolita transformation but a transformation how I looked like when

I started with lolita until now. I hope you will like the idea ^_~

First Try :P ( 2008)

Not really lolita, I think it's ita xD

First brand outfit, but still not that loliable : (      (end 2008)

Next one, with my wardrobe and Miki.

I think it's more lolita then the previous ones..

(early spring 2009)

Next one ~~

Den Bosch meet with Evy

(end 2009 I believe?!)

                                                            Again a meeting in Den Bosch
                                                                     (winter 2010)

                                                   wow, a long time no lolita pictures.*because
                                                   of personal reason I didn't feel good enough to
                                                   wear lolita. This picture is taken during the Doll&Lolita
                                                   meet... (summer 2010)

EFF arcen 2010 together with Evy and our dolls ^_^
This picture means a lot for my because I don't have much pictures
of Evy and me together!

                                                       (fall 2010) High tea time ~~

And now my motie ouftit of doom * or something like

that xD * ( end 2010/begin 2011)

                                                 Very scary with those red eyes, maybe
                                                  it's because of the outfit :P

                                                  Casual Gothic Lolita, the winter isn't fun,
                                                   you can't wear lolita shoes T_T

                                                 And now the most recent pictures of the
                                                 zoo meet and EFF haarzuilens 2011

I wanted to show you these pictures to let me show you that I changed a lot!
Not only as a lolita but also as a person. When you see the last pictures, you can
see that I'm much happier and I have much more confidence than before. For me
lolita fashion means so much to me, it made me change in a good way. That's what
I wanted to show you!

In the begining wearing lolita is difficult, you have to learn and make mistakes because you can do it         better next time. Have faith in yourself! Not only when you are wearing lolita but always. The only
person who knows who you are, is yourself and if you don't like something about yourself you are the
only person who can change that. And maybe you don't have to change, maybe you have to think different about yourself! It makes your life much easier when you think more positive about yourself. At least it has helped me! ^_~

Thank you for reading all this! ^_^
