D.I.Y Kawaii work place
What you will need
- Your desk & Chair
- Tissue Box.
- Stickers
- about 2 metres of a cute material.
- Small Plushies
- Old Mugs or Drinking Glasses
- Your Manga books or anime DvDs
- Laptop or other stuff you use.
Places and Shops to get stuff
- Kinokunya
- Spotlight
- IKEA
- Morning Glory
- Ebay
- Storenvy
Step one:
Clear your desk of everything and cut out one metre of your fabric, placing it like a table cloth over your desk. Some could be hanging over the end in a cute, messy way.
Step two:
Take your stickers, and cover the mugs or glasses with them, then place them at the back of your desk and fill with pens or pencils.
Step three:
Take the other metre of the fabric and drape it on your chair, adding some plushie toys to make it cute and comfy!
Step four:
Put your tissue box in an easily accesable position and surround it with some more plushies. If you are lucky enough to own a Hello Kitty, Rillakuma or other cute character tissue box cover, use that.
Step five:
Find a nice place on your desk and line or stack notepads, manga books, Anime DvDs; It doesn't really matter what it is, as long as it's cute in a kawaii way.
Step six:
Finally, add your laptop of desktop computer in the middle, making sure it doesn't block any of the other things you have set down.
- You really could use this for any style of lolita, just replacing things like the stickers you use and the type of material

Summer lolita alternatives.
You may think to yourself when going through clothes or plainly just staring into space. What do I really need in my Classic/Goth/Sweet lolita wardrobe for summer? The truth is, you need more items than you may be thinking are necessary! Just having the usual, quite formal lolita undergarments (I'm looking at you bloomers!) is going to be hard to wear or make do with in different conditions and seasons. So here is a short list of what I believe is extremely necessary in the summer but overlooked by many lolitas.
1. Pajama Shorts
Wear these during summer instead of bloomers! They are usually loose, comfy, and designed for warm weather. So ditch the lacy white bloomers this summer and grab a pair of these. Country road kids does really nice pajamas that come with these types of shorts.
2. Underskirts
A lighter, less fluffy and only slightly less puffy version of a petticoat. With less layers it may not last as long, but it's just for summer, so it doesn't really need to last as long as a petti.
3.Chiffon Blouse
Instead of wearing a blouse with ruffles and stiff cotton collars, why not invest in a chiffon blouse like this? It's lighter, flowy, and better for hot summer days.

Wishlist (A lazy, brief post.)
It comes around that time of month when I really just want to buy something. Maybe it's a new JSK or a random sweater, either way it's fun to put it in a blog!
So, here, ladies & gentlemen, is my March wishlist!
(Note that this is only a wish-list of stuff available right now, if it was of all time the list would be endless.)

Print I would like to see & a lot about it.
Dream Prints
In this post I am going to go into detail about prints I dream of being real. These are all fake, although I might include a picture or a print that is similar. I'm hoping my adjective and describing skills are not to ridiculous and that I don't bore you with my ramblings! Well, anyway, on with it!
Misty Graveyard
The print starts off with forest green patches of grass at the bottom with the detail of weeds. Clovers, dandelion leaves and small clusters of stinging nettles accompanying it. A little mist is hinted ever so slightly right above this, followed by the beginnings of ancient looking grave stones, covered in deep green moss. Another slightly thicker layer of mist floats above this, translucent. The gravestones are now very visible, some rising up into a foggy grey/ dim blue/ ivory/ magenta sky/ mars black while others you can only just see the heads of. Of course these gravestones are all a stone shade of grey, but most have vines, weeds, grass or moss creeping up them. Giant Yew trees sit around spots in the graveyard, their interesting leaves made with huge detail. So much that I can see the individual spindles on the deathly poisonous plant. The branches reach up, and up, and up the garment stopping around the waist, seemingly because of the fog that slowly makes them less visible. The colour of the fog on the piece depends on which colour the person orders. It would come in an A-line Op, JSK with neck cross straps, and puffy skirt. The bag would be a grey leather grave stone, that the person could choose what was engraved in it. The blouse would be ivory with a peter pan collar along with detachable sleeves. The head accessory is a black silk rose on a medium thickness headband, also covered in the soft silk. The JSK & OP would both retail at $135, the bag $70, headbow & other accessories $22. Either it would be sold at my own brand, or by Alice And The Pirates.

Lolita Bible issue 51 + Topshop socks
Yesterday I went to the city, again, and I bought a few things. I thought I might share my little (Big) things I got in a quick blog post.
First of all I went to Kinokuniya, and went straight to the Japanese section. And get this: My Kinokuniya does not only stock the most recent Gothic & Lolita Bible, It also stocks every single one of them for $27.10. I looked at the covers of nearly all of them. From the first one published- in 2002- to the editions in 2008! I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't not buy one! So I broke my "no spending until you have $500" (Like that was going to happen anyway.) rule and bought issue 51, as you can see below.
The next thing I did was be dragged to Topshop by my mum. I at first thought "Nooooooooo, let me go home to read my magazine!" But then I spotted the socks section and fell in love with them all. They have short ones with lace, long ones with lace and some pairs that had pugs & cats printed on them. You can probably guess what happened next. I showed them to my mum and she said she thought they were cute, so she would buy me three pairs (That was only because there was some 3 for 2 business going on, but that turned out only being available in England topshops.) Here is a sidewards (whoops!) picture of them:

I shan't forget the lovely bag they came in: (Also sidewards.)
I will probably do a post around something to do with the gothic & lolita bible, but until then, goodnight!

My lolita wardrobe March 2014
Lolita wardrobe!
Hmmm.... It's been a while since I've posted, I hope nobodies noticed...
I really do want to show all of you people who are reading my blog my lolita wardrobe. Currently all my items are off brand, but are lolita. Very soon I will be making a Bodyline order, so I look forward to that.

I'll start with an overview, then take pictures of the different sort of items I have, then next to those pictures dot poits of what I own
First of all I just wanted to say that my lolita wardrobe isn't big, Infact if you take out the 1 Jsk that doesn't fit properly, it's tiny. But I love it and really don't care that I don't own any brand.
Second thing, I have a mixture of classic and sweet.
And last thing, I am still working out what style I want to be, and it's really hard to decide.
But anyhoodle, enjoy!
