Wa Lolita week!

So today was a presentation at my school about Lolita (done by me for a class) so I'm wearing Lolita around. :) Feel cute. Will post outfit pics later hopefully.

So this week is Wa Lolita week. This is a really hard style to find GOOD content for. T__T So if you guys have done Wa Lolita you should contact me via facebook or comment here with your email so I can get them from you (with a link to your blog).

For those who don't know Wa Lolita is Kimono style Lolita dresses. The makeup for this can be a little more fun and dark hair seems to be pretty common. There are a LOT of things that are done wrong in this style. :/ So a brief list of things that IN MY OPINION shouldn't be done. Cheap satin material is a no in any Lolita, this is not an exception. I saw a full Hello Kitty dress. o_o just no. I appreciate Hello Kitty but a full coordinate? No. Just no. I saw many accessories that were a disconnect from the outfit also. Please plan accordingly.

There is a lot of debate on whether this and Qi should be considered lolita. Personally I'm not fond of these styles and they should not be attempted by beginners.

So here are a few good ones I found. (All sources will be posted at the end of the week again for sake of saving time and ease.)

Just a last minute mention. I think I'm going to, on a weekend some time, make a wish list post and the list of things I plan to buy ASAP and the ones I plan on making ASAP. This will then be an edited universal post that will be updated as things are bought/newly wanted/made. ^_^

This week's theme is HIME LOLITA!

Hime Lolita or Princess Lolita is a style associate with elegance. This style reflects a feel of royalty and can be seen in several different forms depending on what country's royalty you choose to embody. Common colors are pink and blue. Makeup can be slightly over the top, though it is usually natural colors. Makeup is very natural looking (though some liberty can be taken with blush). Here are some examples. :)

Hello everyone! Some updates and this week's theme.

So went to Youmacon in Detroit this weekend. I will have the updates from that soon and some shop suggestions from people I met in artist alley. Also a Detroit store review that is perfect for Lolita accessories. :) This week's theme is Sweet Lolita! This is a very commonly seen Lolita themed around light colors, cute, cute, cute, and did I mention cute? Pastels, bouncy skirts, crazy prints, and bows and ribbons everywhere. Shoes and bags tend to be pretty simple but still cute, often adorned with bows or in the shapes of hearts or animals. OTT (over the top) sweet is extremely common at the moment though more toned down sweet is still prominent. So here are some examples. (And here are some sources here here and here)

So cute!
