Week 13 is Punk Lolita week!

I've been looking for some pictures and I think I found some good stuff! I hope you all enjoy it. So a brief overview of Punk Lolita: It is the crossing of Lolita with the Eastern style of Punk (that part is pretty obvious). This style features lots of layering, fishnet, chains, and studs. Some are slightly closer to normal Lolita shapes and cuts but have subtle punk elements to them. Hair is pretty much a free for all in this style so it is great for girls with short hair who don't like wigs. Makeup can be a bit heavier in this style than some of the softer styles (Sweet, Classic, Hime). This style can often be challenging to pull off well.


Here are some examples!

Country Lolita week!

Hey everyone! It is country Lolita week. So this week is all about cute country themes and motifs. Lots of strawberries, natural makeup, wicker hats and baskets, and everything is absolutely adorable. ^_^ This particular style is close to my heart since I'm a country girl myself. I really really love this style. Please enjoy! I apologize these photos are all older, this style never caught on in popularity.

Gothic Lolita week!

So this week is Gothic Lolita week. This is one of the most recognized and most executed types of Lolita. Gothic Lolita is often seen using black and white but can actually be black and ANY color. It is sometimes seen as a combination of western goth and sweet Lolita. This is NOT a subsection of goth however. Many Lolitas start with this style because it is easy to buy products locally. The term Gothic Lolita is often mis-used and Gothic Lolita is often labeled incorrectly, so be careful. I'll do my best not to make that mistake. ^_^

So here are the examples! (Source!)

Week 6 theme :)

This week's theme is Kodona, Ouji, or Dandy. They are all very similar and though, from what I understand, there are differences based on your personal gender/age/geographic location, they are very similar. This style is often termed "boy style". Male Lolitas wear this style often, and female Lolitas who wish to dress more masculinely will also don this style frequently. This particular style ranges from very casual to extremely elegant. Sometimes feminine touches (such as curls or female shoes) can be added.

Common elements of this style are pants that cut at the knee, lace, high socks, suspenders, and top hats. Make up and hair are usually minimal, though dark eye makeup is common.

Now for some examples. :)
