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! ^__~

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

Review: Rosa Nitida

Hello everyone!

I said a couple of days ago that I wanted to do a review of Rosa Nitida, I bought already a amazing headdress from Iira's brand Rosa Nitida only this review is going to be about the pirate hat I bought.

About Rosa Nitida

 Rosa Nitida is... an independent clothing brand for styles such as aristocrat and lolita. I make and design all my items myself including hats, headdresses, dresses, chokers, hand bags etc. Most of the designs and commissions are made for gothic styles and are heavily inspired by feathers, roses, crosses and pearls. I will upload more better quality pictures once I have finsihed most of the commissions for now and took proper pictures of the new "collection".

This is what Iira says about her own brand. It's a gothic lolita and aristocrat brand, which sells unique pieces of clothing. Sometimes there are items in stock,most of the the items from Rosa Nitida are commissions (unique items you can order yourself). The hat I have bought is also commission but I wasn't meant for me in the beginning only the actual buyer cancelled it. So I was the lucky person who could buy this amazing pirate hat! *_*

Stock picture:

How could I not want to buy this beautiful hat! <3

Shipping:

I bought the hat in half December, Iira told me she wasn't able to send it to me before the 27th of December because she went to Finland.

That wasn't a problem for me because I needed the hat for the pirate meeting in January.

A couple of days the 27th I still hadn't received anything yet, so I decided to sent her an email.

Iira kindly respond that she wasn't able to send it to me due her other job.

I received the parcel very quickly after I had send her the email. ( I think in one or two days?)

The parcel was well packed, there was a nice letter inside and the hat of course, haha!

The Design:

I totally love the hat, it's has all kinds of decoration: flowers, feathers, lace,shiny little 'stones' and crosses and a veil to cover you face.

The hat has this amazing elegant feeling over it and it's very unique.

It's a tricon hat and in the hat there are feathers, and blue (MMM blue *_*) roses, this makes the hat even more beautiful!

I think if there were any real lolita pirates many years ago, they all wanted to steal this hat, haha!

I'm joking ^_~

Little movie of the hat:

The Back

Quality:

The hat is well-made, it's solid. It will not be ruined when it would fall. The fabrics are amazing and very suitable for lolita fashion.

Wearing:

Now the more unfortunate part of the story, the hat wouldn't fit at first. When I tried it on, it fell from my head right away. I tried to add some pins, to let in stay on my head, that didn't work either.

It just didn't fit! It even got worse when I tried it with my wig on.

My head was too big for it...

I was kind of sad because of it, it wasn't because I was dissapointed in Rosa Nitida of course not!

I was sad because I couldn't wear this beautiful hat! :(

 It was not fitting well then...

Iira wrote in the letter that was included with the hat that if there was anything I'd like to change, I could ask her. I contacted her and told her that the hat won't fit, first she gave me some tips to wear the hat only that didn't work, my head was still too big, hahaha! (I'm laughing about it now, but I nearly cried about it then...)

So.. there was a big problem! The meeting was in too weeks, I couldn't send the hat back because of personal reasons. o_O What to do?!

Iira told me that it was possible for her to attend the meeting and to fix the hat there in the restaurant.

The problem was solved by then and I could wear this amazing hat at the meeting!

Thank you so much for all the worries and for fixing the hat! Now it's fits perfectly! ^^

    Hat worn without wig:

(I need to dye my hair again, lol!)

Price:

The hat cost me 90 euro including shipping, which is extremely cheap for a hat like this.

At the time I hadn't much money to spend so that was the highest bid I could offer.

I'm a lucky person, that I could buy it for that price. ^_^

Paying was very easy with paypal.

Verdict:

I would totally buy again from Rosa Nitida, the designs are amazing, well-made and unique.

The service is great, Iira is a nice person and she when I said the hat didn't fit me she fixed my hat.

She even went to Breda to fix my hat!

What are you waiting for?!!

Go to the Rosa Nitida Blog and order something! :D
