December coords/Happy Christmas!

Hey! Guess I was able to fit in one last photo post begore I move/the new year!

Here are a few photos of when I went to the desert Botanical Gardens! I wore myDecoration Dream! There was this guy who asked to take my photo as I was waiting for everyone, who made me look like an Angelic Pretty ad!!!!!#!! But I know a girl who has an amazing camera, AND amaxing photoshop skills! I bought her a cute lolita dress this year for Christmas which she now wants to have a photoshoot! :] So she says our photos will be even better!! Lol Anyways, here is the picures from that night. There was an incredibly beautiful pointseta christmas tree outside the ticket stands!

Then here is a better photo with the whole set in the bathroom XP
SOCKS, JSK, BONNET: Angelic Pretty
SHOES:Bodyline
WIG: Gothic Lolita Wigs
FUR COLAR/LEGWARMERS: handmade (me)

Makeup shot:

And here is one crazy photo of me after I went on a walk with my boyfriend to view local house lights!

It has really been a nice time here with eachother while it has lasted!

I hope everyone has a happy christmas and a supurb new year! :D

Pink Vodka

So, in the giftshop of last nights meet, I found some yummy looking Pink Vodka. It is Prickly Pear flavored. I was so excited when I saw this! Isn't it perfect for a sweet lolita who likes to drink?

For my birthday this past May, one of my best and dearest friends bought me a very cute tea set! I cant wait to move! I want to save this bottle until I am all settled in, and I want to sip my pink vodka from the tea set my friend got me!

Another thing that I thought was cool is that it is actually made here in my own state! So hopefully I will be able to find more of this in town so I dont have to travel away from here to stock up. ;p

Also, the background for the picture is Decoration Dream. It is seriously 1000x better then the stock photos! I really really want the same jsk as I have now, but in yellow! But instead of the bonnet, aI would like the headbow in yellow as well :]

Hopefully I will have time to upload the few photos I got (before my camera died :c ) of last night. Also, tomorrow I will hopefully be attending another light festival, this time at our local zoo. :]

Has anyone else done any fun christmas activitys this year?

Outfit Post& new stuff/problems

Wig: Gothic Lolita Wigs
Hair Accessories: claire's
Cutsew: h.NAOTO
Wristcuffs, JSK: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright

I am so happy this jsk came in! It is Baby's Trick or Treat prink. I don't care if it is halloween themed, I'm going to rock this dress as often as possible!!! ♥ When I get moved I hope to be able to take my outfit snaps more frequently.

Also, I have recently ordered from Bodyline to take advantage of their $1 Air campain. I recieved my first order, got 2 jsks that I have been eyeing for some time, and to stock up on shoes. However, the pair of shoes I ordered are different then they marked me down for and I recieved...

I have tried contacting them but they either dont give me a straight answer or they keep on asking me questions that run me around in circles, or they just plain out don't reply.

I hope my second order with the other shoes come in. And I hope they are the correct shoes! I am so fustrated with Bodyline, I don't think I will ever buy from them again.

They say they shipped out my second order, but they never gave me a shipping email conformation, and even after my many attempts to contact them, they still never gave me a tracking number. I guess worse comes to worse, I could always open up a paypal claim since that's how I paid.

I am so fustrated, I really don't know what to do.


Also I plan to be more active, and I allready have a list of things I want to do here on my blog, but things have been so hectic, I'm not sure I'll be able to post much else untill I get moved and all settled down. Which by the way I am super excited!!! Especially since it's going to have a walk-in closet!

And as soon as I'm all moved and settled in, I will be having a big closet cleaning sale so keep an eye out for that! ;p

30 Day Lolita Challange- Day 18

Day 18 –A picture of your favorite lolita style.

Eek! This is so hard! I love and appriciate every type of lolita! But I think if I had to really choose, I would go with Gothic. Its so pretty and elegant! Allthough no matter what I do I keep on falling in love with all sorts of super cute and cutesy Angelic Pretty prints, when you get down to it, old school sweet, gothic, and classic is where my heart is. Plus I just feel most comfortable in black. My clothing outside lolita is full of darker colors and minimal bright colors. My use of colors in my wardrobe usually just relied on my hair color, but since that has changed I have knoticed myself leaning more and more to bright pastels to make up for it!

This picture is from an old Moi Meme Moitie add. I love the elegance and simplicity to old school lolita trends. Allthough I have a few things that are bright and colorful, I would really like to get more darker pieces that fit together better to provide more cordination oportunities. This is what I first fell in love with 8 years ago, and this is what my dream wardrobe would consist of...if Angelic Pretty didnt keep on coming out with these darn cute prints and taking advantage of my wallet! XD But aside from my Angelic Pretty dresses, everything else in my wardrobe is either white, black, or darker colorways ;p



Gosh I feel like I just start rambling and then cant stop sometimes! I hope nobody minds! XP

30 Day Lolita Challange- Day 17

Day 17 –What do you want more then anything right now?

Honestly, I want to all ready be moved into a new apartment! My lease is up soon and I am dreading the search for a new place not to mention the actual move! My boyfriend and I are moveing aoart for a bit, but were not breaking up. He wants to focus on his studies, and I dont have anywhere to go, and I cant afford my place alone so its time to move! I cant wait to hah a place all my own! I love my boyfriend but he is kind of lazy and dosent help much so it will be nice to only be worrying about cleaning up after myself.

But, since this is a lolita challange, I will throw in my greatest lolita desire: to have all my items get to me right now! XD I am waiting on a pair of Angelic Pretty Whip Magic OTK socks (to complete my pink x white collection), my Angelic Pretty Decoration Dreams set, my Bodyline order (from the $1 air campain thats taking its sweet time and apparently is STILL in Japan!), a btssb trick or treat jsk in pink(traded a girl in canada for it), and an aatp blose that is HOPEFULLY going to be shipped out tomorrow(after the seller dissapeared for a few weeks for the hollidays).

Unless I have money to nab Angelic Prettys new Twinkle Carnival, I am definately done shopping for while...just been waiting for what seems like forever for my last items to arrive. I dont want to chance loosing anything while i switch places.

I think I might head out to check out a place that looked affordable today before work, so everyone wish me luck! :]

30 Day Lolita Challange- Day 16

Day 16 –Your outfit for the day

Finally able to continue! Sorry for taking so long!!! But unlike other blogs I've seen, I refuse to give up! There have just been so many things on my mind lately! BUT here is todays outfit! Super casual! I took my dogs on a longer then usual walk now that it's cooling down.

Rundown:
Jsk: bodyline (i bought this at the beginning of the year and this is my first time wearing it!^^')
Socks: bodyline
Hair clip: claire's
Necklace: pink macaroon
Cutsew: offbrand
Shoes(not shown): f21

And a head-shot

I have become really fond of having my hair in a high bun. I think it looks really cute, plus its perfect for work! Which is why I have on almost no make-up because I'll be off for there shortly.

It was really funon the walk, but about half way through the rout, my hip started hurting really bafly! Some times I get these really intense pains i my hip area where my leg bone conects. It makes it really hard to stand or walk, and dosent do me any good when i am at work. Hopefully for Christmas I can ask my parents to take me to a doctor to figure out ehats wrong with me. I easily mess up my wrists as well and then they can be in pain for weeks at a time. I wonder if I have some sort of joint issues?

Anyways, I want to talk about my new job too! I think I may have mentioned that I am now working in a grocery stores meat department. While we do have our own items that are pre-frozen and shipped to us, we do have quite a bit of meat that we cut and prepare ourselves. Not is it only cheaper that way, but we can also provide the best cuts of meat for a lower price, but it is fresh as well. This week i am scheduled ever night for closeing shifts. That means that I am to wash down all of the equipment and the floor to ensure there is no leftover meat so that no harmful bacteria can grow and contaminate our food.

I have to hose down everything in our back room with hot soapy water. Then i have to take everything apart and clean inside. A lot of these machines are really big and even the smaller parts are incredibly heavy! I am armed with a scrub brush and a hose with hot water that shoots out really fast. So the combonation of the hot water and the pressure from the hose gets everything off. Its a cold room so i have to wear several long sleeved shirts to stay warm. But once i start hosing everything off I get soaked! This is why i wear very little makeup and i wear my hair up. After everything is clean i need to make sure all the bits of meat either go down the drain or get thrown in the trash. Then I clean all the knives and smaller machine pieces. Now that your soaked the cold starts to kick in again. Thats why its nice to have long sleeves. Even if they are wet, the hot water soaks in your shirt and keeps you warm for the rest of the night.

After everyhing is cleaned and put back together I have to empty the trash and take all the empty cardboard boxes back to the box compresser. Its really cool to see everything smoshed down flat! Then I am allowed to go. It's actually a lot of fun so far! And no dealing with customers who seem to get grumpy during the hollidays! The only issue is that some of the things are sooooo heavy! And I have to do this all alone because no one ele is there at thend of the night. I cant wait to learn how to do more stuff! I am really excited!

Formspring + more event photos

So, i got a Formspring! Actually I've had it for a bit, but I keep on forgeting about it. So, go and ask me some questions! I would love to answer them! XP

Also, the photos from the club event were finally posted! I think I look kinda derpy honestly in my solo picture, but the guy is pretty amazing! Check it out!

Me and my friend posed togeter. This is my favorite.

I encourage everyone to check out their photos from the event! There were other lolitas around and everybodys outfits were amazing! Next time I want to plan my outfit and makeup in advance so I will look as amazing as everyone else! <3

The next one is obviously Christmas themed, but I have no idea what to wear! Maybe it wont even be Christmas themed...maybe I'll just go plain OTT? Or go for a gothic coord and make a holly and ivy wreath for my hair would be cute too. All the possibilities, I am really excited! :]

Past two events + new purchases

Ok! So not only have I found a new job, but Ive scored some really cute things, and went to a couple cool events! Life is treating me good!

First of all, a few Fridays ago I went to a rave in Phoenix called Kandiland! It was so much fun! So many of my friends were there!!! I had friends from all over Arizona show up, and all over California as well!!! It was great to see everyone in one place! Especially since I hardly ever get to see most of them! I had the cutest Hello Kitty outfit planned! Unfortunately I couldnt find my Hello Kitty fleece hat! :[ Also, I made a beadkini for one of my friends and she was going to make me a matching bead skirt in exchange, bu I guess she didnt finish it in time, so I ended up wearing a purple tutu that I made. It was actually the first tutu I ever made, but unlike my other tutus I never got to wear it untill now! Sorry for the bad pictures! I forgot my camera at home and my friends who did bring their cameras...well, we were having too much fun to remember to take more. ;p

Full outfit shot:

You can sort of see my hello kitty beadkini.^^

And a closeup picture. I didnt really like how my makeup turned out...I think its usually better, but everyone else liked it so that made me feel better about it! :] This is one of my really good friends from way out of town. I was really excited to see him! We hung out all day before the rave and some other friends joined us after the rave to eat at iHop, which is kind of a tradition for me and my local rave family!

All though I had a blast though, I was really dissapointed with the organization. The outdoor area was SO tiny! I have been to that same venue before and the outside are was big! I have no idea why they made it so tiny! Especially since it was packed! If I can remember corectly, tickets were sold to people in 23 different states! I have no clue why they didnt prepare for it. Also, at 10pm they ran out of water for 2 hours! So it was hot and packed like sardines, and no water. :/ Aside from that though, I did enjoy myself.

And if anybody is familiar with Crumpet who runs this site dedicated to sharing hundreds of kandi picture cuff patterns, then I have cool news to share! She was at the rave too! I evnded up trading her one of my 3Ds for one of her cuffs, and she said it was really pretty and loved it! :D I am really happy I actually had the chance to trade her! It's like celebrity kandi! ♥



Ok! And so event #2 was at a local bar, and it was called Vampire Masqurade! I honestly had no idea what to wear for this event! I had just gotten home from my first day of training and threw something together! However, I think it actually turned out really cute for an all offbrand thrown together outfit! I wore my underbust corset most of the night, but took it off around 2am, which made it look sort of like a gal hime outfit, but it was really cute! I want to get more flowy tops like it now so I can experiment with more styles! BUT enough of my babling and on to the pictures!

And a bad quality outfit photo for the night with my good friend Tom (who is in the very first pictur with me), this time being a photo terrorist XP

There were a few really nice photos taken by a photographer there, but I have yet to see them released, but I will definately share them as soon as I find them!^^

This same night was also when the new Angelic Pretty lucky packs were released online! I was so excited, except they were sold out a mere 3 minuets after they were released...

However, I did manage to order the new Angelic Pretty print Decoration Dreams in the sax colorway! I am so stoaked to get this set! Even though I honestly prefer more subtle things, and black, Angelic Pretty just seems to have this wicked spell over me! Every so often I see a print that i must have! I do try to keep it to jumperskirts though, so I can pair it up with a black blouse and socks to kind of town it down. However, I think I may just do an OTT sweet coord with this new set. I just cant resist all the adorable ponys! Besides, blue is my favorite color!

So, even though I know there are going to be a ton of people wearing it the typical coords that you would find in the add, I want to wear it that way as well...at LEAST once! ♥ Then I'll mix it up with the rest of my wardrobe. But even though the color and the ponies are what sold me, this is why I fell in love:

And I've decided I'm going to stop buying things unless they are on my wish-list here on my livejournal account. :]
Allthough, honestly I really need to take a break from buying lolita till my birthday! XD So I think I can wait untill May to get anything else! :]

Twinkle Carnival, Angelic Pretty's new print

I just came across this image of Angelic Pretty's next print.It kind of looks like the love child print of the Chandelier print and Sugary Carnival. So, since they were both popular, I am going to assume that this will also be as popular.

Seems like just my luck that just as I shell out a bunch of money on one print, I immediately find out about another! Haha! I allready am in love with the pink and gold print, so i am incredibly excited to see the other colors!

What does everyone else think of this print?

My First Lucky Pack

I am so excited! I was able to buy my first lucky pack ever last week! I got one from meta. Meta has alway been a brand I love, even when I was starting out. They have very lovely classic looking items as well as adorable sweet things. I have always loved their wacky items like their pvc bondage looking dress, their tacky ita lace monster (which one day i hope to own), and just their own styel they have in general.

I am just going to link to the images today since no matter what i seem to do these pictures always seem to explode on the screen! :/

White OP
While if you couldnt tell from my first passage, I was really hoping toget one of their lace monsters. Even though I didnt get one, I am incredibly happy with this dres! It is so very pretty! I allready have several coords planned out in my head for it!

Pink Blouse
I am so happy I got this blouse! It is so pretty!!! I have wanted a pink blouse for a while now! My only issue is I just got a pink blouse from Bodyline as well :/ I dont think I need two short sleeved pink blouses, so I havnt decided if I will be keeping the Bodyline blouse or not, but we'll see. :]

Bag, socks, hair comb, and brooch
To be terribly honest, I never liked the citron soda print. So Im definately not going to keep the bag. Same goes for the little pin/brooch. I do really like it and think it is really cute, but I have absolutely nothing that would match it. Too bad it isnt a different color. As for the socks, I am not positive or not on. A friend suggested that I could wear them with my Milky Planet, but I'm not sure if that would be too much yellow. Last of all is the pink bow hair comb. It looks to be very pale pink with hot pink tulle on the edges! I have nothing to match it but it is so random that I kind of want to keep it! I could always wear it on my lazy/laundry days when I still need that hint of cutesy lolita accessories! :]

I am pleased with what I got for the most part and think it was definately worth it! I hope to be able to have a chance at the next set of lucky packs!

30 Day Lolita Challange- Day 15

Day 15 –A picture of your last lolita purchase.

Well actually, I am incredibly pleased to announce that just a few moments ago I bought my first Lucky Pack!!!

I was lucky enough to see a post in EGL about Metamorphose haveing a small Lucky Pack restocck. So, naturally, I jumped right on it! So, thats my latest lolita purchase. However, since I litterally JUST bought it, I can not show you ay pictures yet! XD

However, I can show you the last thing I bought that has made its way to my house!

I had been needing some ivory colored socks for some time. While I still would like a few more pairs so I can have matching socks for all my ivory dresses, I at least have one! And they are really cute too! <3

Oooh! And I can not wait for the rest of my stuff to come in so I can share! I have been building my wardrobe for a while now, but now I am finally getting down to the final details like adding tops and socks. After that I think I will be complete. I mean I will always add new pieces as brands release things, but soon i will have at least two coordinates per main piece. Signs of a full functioning wardrobe :]

30 Day Lolita Challange- Day 14

Day 14 –A picture of your dream item.

I dont have any main dream item at the moment, but what I would really really like to try to get next is the Milky-chan set in brown!!! I want so many things in a bunch of different colors from that series, but i think the first thing I'll be going after will be the ribbon jsk in brown!

I am also really excited to anounce that my brief time unemployed is over. I start working on Friday in the grocery store meat department! I am so excited! Not the most fabulouse job, but my moms done it and she thinks ill love it there. :]

Also, at this time I am looking for Angelic Pretty's Whip Magic chest ribbon jsk in the black colorway! So if anybody spots it you should let me know!!! I have been earching for it forever with no avail. :[

30 Day Lolita Challange- Day 13

Day 13 –A picture of your favorite sweets.

To be honest, I really dont like sweets. The best sweet things in my opinion is fruits! <3 However I suppose if I were to choose anything, I would go with Reese's peanut butter cups! Other then that I am absolutely gaga over another candy bar called Coffee Crisp! I have only been able to find them in Canada unfortunately. I have heard that there are some locations in town that occasionally have them, but so far I havnt been able to find any :[ So every time I go to Canada I alway bring back a giant stash of Coffee Crisps with me! :D So since I unfortunately dont have any Coffee Crisps around, all I can show you is this:

And I also wanted to share todays outfit! I have been constantly wearing my fur collar and legwarmers ever since I was able to finish them! I have been obsessing over winter outfits even though its only fall!^^' I have also been enjoying my legwarmers because everyone always say that they can not be incorporated into lolita, however I think you just have to have the right coordination skills, and items that fit well with the over all look.

Also, my hair is dyed to a natural color. If I want to get a new job I have to look "normal" and this is the first time going without any sort of color in almost 4 years! So before I dyed it I was really scared!!! I'm having a bit of difficulty adjusting actually...but hopefully I will start to feel better about it once I get a new job.

As always, thanks for reading! I hope everyone is doing well!!! <3

Fuzzy Legwarmers

Image originally from here.

So a few days ago I stumbled across this image on Lolita Weekly, only adding fuel to the fire for my increasingly burning passion for faux fur. Which pretty much lead me to my fur post a few days ago.


So, since I didnt have much to do yesterday, I decided to get crafty, and make my own!

I think they turned out really well! Perfect touch for winter lolita coords! I also want to make a super cutesy rave outfit to wear with them as well! I was thinking maybe a pink tulle and sparkly white tulle tutu, but I'm not sure what I could make for a top.

My next fur project will be a cute fur collar, and I also want to make a white jacket as well. I want to make the exact things in black faux fur as well, but I dont know what color ribbon to use...

I also have a ton of fabric so I'm not sure what else I should make with it, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know!!!! :]

Real life dress up doll game

There was a post on EGL a few weeks back about a real life dress up doll game where girls would pair up with eachother and create an outfit for one another using their wardrobes. I was paired up with lloviz, and we ended up making two outfits for eachother! It was so much fun!

Here are the coordinates she selected for me:

Wig: Gothic Lolita Wigs
Headbow, JSK, Socks, Shoes: Angelic Pretty
Blouse: Metamorphose
Belt: offbrand

And here is a little bonus picture from that day with my Mayhem! <3

And here is coordinate #2!!!!!

Wig: Gothic Lolita Wigs (this I actually added myself, because I was having a rather bad hair day!^^')
Headbow, JSK, Blouse: Metamorphose
Socks: Angelic Pretty
Wristcuffs: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Shoes: rue21

And here are the two coordinates I made for my partner! <3

I am really happy that the coords I made came out so well! Isn't she adorable??? >w< This whole experience was tons of fun and I hope that I have another oportunity to participate in another one soon! If you are interested in seeing everyone elses coords, here is the post on EGL displaying everyones results! I hope even more people can participate next time!!! :]

Faux Fur

You know, the past couple of weeks I have not been able to get faux fur out of my head! Maybe its because the climate is changing and its finally getting chilly out, I dont know! But I keep on thinking of all the projects I want to do!!! Especially with white fur, but occasionally I want some black fur to make items as well. And then everywhere I turn lately i either see faux fur pictures, or people talking about their plans for faux fur!

While I dont agree with real fur, for some reason I am fascinated with faux fur! Maybe because its so soft and fuzxy? Especially with Baby, the Stars Shine Bright releading their faun print items. I can't resist!!!

As a raver, I allready own several pairs of fuzzy legwarmers. However as far as a few months ago I have been wanting to add them to my lolita wardrobe. The only pair that I have that matches are my baby pink legwarmers. But the only type of coords I could do with them are cyber lolita coords. What I really want to do is make a pair of black and a pair of white legwarmers. I think it would be the perfect touch to a winter coord! Of course when I finally get to make them they wont have as big of a flair at the bottom as my rave gear. I want them to be cute and dainty!

I also want to make a black and white fur collars, maybe even some muffs, and some cute croped fuzzy jackets to go with my lolita!!! Ive always wanted a fuzzy jacket, but I fell in love with some fur at the fabric store! Besides, I am in desperate need of a new jacket! And I dont have the money to buy one, so might as well make it and get exactly what I want, right?

How do you guys feel about faux fur? Perhaps you prefer real fur? Neither? Do you think that this is a passing trend or something here to stay? I have actually knoticed it a lot in mainstream wear as well, not just lolita. Maybe I can invest in some cute cheap fuzzy things while they have them availible in the department stores? :]

Happy Halloween!!!

My complete and final costume for halloween! I hope everyone has had a fun and safe holiday weekend! It was fun being able to dress up so sweet and over the top since it definately isnt my style!

I got to party with the 50 and up crowed, with my loli gals, and made a lot of new friends this weekend! Tonight im at my moms house handing out candy for her because shes stuck at work.

I also entered my costume into the EGL classy costume contest. I hope everyone likes it! :]

I would love to know what kind of fun everyone else had! :]

Halloween with my mama! :D

So here are some pictures from the Halloween Party with my mama. It was lots of fun!
Here is a photo of my accessory details and makeup:

And front and back of my outfit:

And me with my mama!

It was a 50+ party, but I was an exception I suppose since I was my mom's DD. :]

I love hanging out with my mom! ♥

Hopefully I'll be able to show you pictures of outfit #2 farely soon :] Because the Halloeen party last night was so much fun!!!!!!!! <3

30 Day Lolita Challange- Day 12

Day 12 –A picture of you before lolita came in your life.

Ahhh...that was soooo long ago!!!! Even before I started wearing lolita, I was so smitten by lolita once I discovered it, any way I could make my style more girly and incorporate lolita-esque things into my life, I did. But! I was able to find a picture back from around 2005/2006 when i was still in high school. This is one of my I dont care, gonna throw on a tee shirt and jeans knd of day. Most of the time I wore skirts and I had a fair number of blouses and cutesy shirts I would wear, along with some of my own hand made rectangle headdresses. It was still the cool thing to wear them in lolita back then, so I wore them with my normal clothes because that was the closest thing to actual lolita clothing I could get to at the time. I still adore thoes headdresses by the way! ;p

Oh! And I am in the middle, by the way! ;]

And to try and attemp to erase this horrid photo from your minds, this is a horrible cell phone photo of my outfit yesterday! <3

The photos are really washed out looking! Its so dark out all week! All of the lights on in the house and its still so dark!!! Anyways here is my makeup as well. Its all fancy because i was too lazy to re-do it for the halloween party that took place later on.

Jsk: Baby
Boots: rue21
socks/cutsew: offbrand

I was excited! My first time wearing my thick knit otk socks this year! Its finally getting cool out again!! Soon I'll need more layers for my arms as well! As soon as I find a new job I need to go on the hunt for cute new long-sleeved tops! And maybe a cute new coat! I have eye-balling some of the coats on bodyline! And apparently all November long they are having free shipping! I hope that dosent mean that they'll have a dramatic price increase as well! :[

Anywhoo, I hope to be able to upload the pictures soon! But maybe I'll wait till after the other party tonight! :] But I got to be my moms dd. Yay! Lol ;P

30 Day Lolita Challange- Day 11

Day 11 –One day in your lolita life in pictures.

Sorry, unfortunately my daily life is extremely boring. All I ever had time to do is sleep and work. However, since I quit my job now I have a bit more time, but I'm mainly concerned I can find a job before I run my savings dry.

Every morning i start off my day with a shower and breakfast. My breakfast lately has been vanilla yogurt wirh fresh berries. After that I tend to my zoo of animals and make sure everyone is fed and watered. Here is a picture of my two teenager girls, Joanie and Lizzy.

After everyone is fed I take the dogs out. My basset hound is named Boomer, and the chihuahua is Zoro. They are the loves of my life! <3

On this particular day my mom called me up asking me to come over to put on some "goth" makeup on her because shes suppose to dress up for work today. It was really hard to do her makeup without it looking akward since shes not as young as she use to be, but I think she ended up looking awesome, like a sexy scary evil step mother from Snow White! I had to tae a photo of her, and her friend Jim decided to become a photo terrorist! ;P

After that was all settled I came home, cooked a new recepie I found here for something called a chayote squash. It was amazing!! I urge everyone to try this recepie If you can! I actually added hot sauce to it at the end instead of salad dressing, since I didnt have any, and it was pure love! <3

After I did a load of laundry I was off to the pet shop to get food for my snake Iris. I also had to stop by a store I heard was looking to hire some more help. Unfortunately the guy I needed to see wasnt there, so I will have to wait another day :]

Here is my lovely Iris. She was named after the greek goddess of the rainbow by my boyfriend. She is around 2 years old, and is a Variable King Snake.

See how boring my days are? And it is barely 6pm. ;p so now its time to have dinner, which are hot dogs. Haha. BUT I will be going out to kareoke tonight! So heres onto my outfit, which I can only get a photo of from the mirror in the bars restro
om:

Jsk:Innocent World
Boots: Forever21
Everything else: off brand

Also, I was given a application to fill out as well! :D

I really love this dress because it looks so un-lolita!!!! Maybe its bad to say, but I love the divirsity of lolita clothing!!! <3 Anyways I suppose thats all for the night...my boyfriend had his tirst kareoke song, but I didnt catch it...I did however get a photo of my friend Bart!!!!!! :D

30 Day Lolita Challange- Day 10

Day 10 –What’s in your bag

Well, this bag is my main lolita bag. I do usually have my larger mainstream bags with lolita, but I will stick with this since this is aa lolita meme, Ill stick to my lolita bag. I actually wear this quite often in non lolita coords. Its my second most used bag. I got this off of ebay from a middle man that got it from Dream of Lolita, if I can remember correctly. :]

Whats inside my bag?
* my phone (not shown because thats how I have to currently upload and take pictures)

I Quit

I just quit my job. A customer called the owner of my work and told him me and my friend were talking shit about the food about how horrible and disgusting it is, and how we never eat it because its so gross...which is such a lie! We never said anythin even close to that!

So, when I came in to open this morning, I got written up for it. I tried to explain to him that no body said anything like that, but he said it didnt matter, the customer is always right.

I am so tired of how they treat everyone there. The management never has your back. They let rude nasty people say and do whatever they want to you no matter what the circumstances. I have been there close to 4 years and I have only recieved one raise. And that was 2 years ago.

I am so done with being depressed because of my job. I have a hard enough time with depression on its own, I dont need that place making it worse. I am tired of comeing home every day wanting to drink myself asleep. I had a panic attack at work before I left and I wanted to cut myself. I have had issues with cutting before. It is such a horrible feeling to feel like you want to cut yourself after you have allready gone and gotten over that part of your life!

I gave up days off, cancelled plans with friends and family, come in early and stay late, had no life for that place and never once has my hard work or dedication been appriciated...

Thankfully I have a bit saved to hold me over for a while...I also have quite a bit of lolita clothing to get rid of as well. Hopefully I will be fine. I'll manage somehow...I always do...Id rather use up my savings now rather then continue to feel the way that I do because of that place.

30 Day Lolita Challange- Day 9

Day 9 –10 things you will never do in lolita.

As I try to wear lolita as often as possible, there are a lot of things I DO do in lolita. However there are still things even I would not do!

1. Rollercoasters. I freaking LOVE roller coasters!!! But I dont think i would ever go on one while wearing lolita. For one, I dont like the thought of flashing everyone REGARDLESS whats under my petticoat! And secondly, i dont want my skirt flying around blocking mine, or anyone elses view!

2. I dont think I would ever ride a bike while wearing lolita either. Mainly for the same reasons as above, plus, while you pedal, it looks like you would show even more! And way easier to catch a breeze up the skirt!! o*_*o

3. Paint!!! Enough said!!! :0

4. Bathe my animals or clean their homes. Dogs are bad enough, but I dont think I would even chance it with my rats!

5. Smoke! First of all, I dont even like smoking in the first place, most brands and types make me feel sick even smelling them. However, every couple of months or so I'll enjoy a menthol or two if im having a couple of drinks, but NEVER in my lolita! I would be devastated if I accidentally cinged my fabric or if my pieces began to smell like smoke! So if i must, I ALWAYS change!!! Either that or I'll be waiting a few more months! Lol

6. Rough house. Sometimes I get a little rowdy and i like to tackle my boyfriend or have big ole tickle fights, but wrinkles and rips are so not rori! :/

7. Snowboard. Even though I think it would look so awesome and I often dream of a cool snowboard loli, I imagine eventually your dress would get really soggy and look bad from the snow melting into the fabric. Other then that, I dream of a lolita in a white Milky chan coord with a white bolero and brownish/grey fur collar/earmuffs and gloves. <3 Maybe the next time I have the oportunity to snow board I'll take a few photos so I can pretend I really were a super cool snow boarder lolita!^^

8. Visit any of my family other then my step sister and my mom. Sad to say, but my step mom isnt very accepting of anything out of the ordinary. I HAVE NEVER been a mainstream girl. Despite of years of knowing this, any time i say do or wear anything not deemed "normal" in her mind she is anything but hesitant to tell me how odd or wierd I am, and i rarely said nicely, weather she means it that way or not. So based on what ive liked in the past, she would definately get her kicks off of my love for lolita :[ So I choose to just avoid the entire situation all together. My mom however thinks I'm the cutest prettiest thing to grace the earth, and my step sister thinks I look good and takes pride in having an elder step sister who does her own thing and rocks it :]

9. Sex. To all you loli_secret posters who love to write about sex in your lolita: Good for you! But I personally dont want anybodys bodily fluid on my beautiful clothing! I send to much time money and energy into my lolita, I am incredibly protective and carefull with my clothing! I dont want them to get dirty in anyway if possible!

10. House chores. Im super afraid that I would ruin my clothes! Especially since I dont have a full sized apron! Maybe if i got one, I could do some simple cooking or dish washing, maybe even laundry...but nothing else!!! I know some girls like to play princess while dressed up but I dont want to play Cinderella while cleaning toilets!^^'

Anyways, it feels good to finally continue with these! I hope I can finally go on to finish! :]

Also, I wanted to share that at my job, we had a tour of little kids come in today! The manager who opened with me today had never done a tour befor, so I got to take charge finally and do the whole thing by myself! It was so much fun and I did way better then my regular manager could have done...hes kind of an idiot...the only reason he became a manager and is in charge of my store is because he LITTERALLY cried to the owner about the job, and he felt bad and got it out of pitty :/ anyways, today was so much fun! I cant wait to be able to finally go back to school so I can become a teacher! :D

Sorry for the huge delay of this challange, and lack of posts. Its been pretty rough lately. A month ago so ago my boyfriend got laid off of work so ive been really busy taking up extra shifts to pay the bills. Also, we have come to the agreement to move apart for a bit. I was sad about it, but at the same time its going to be really nice having my own space. And were not breaking up or anything either which is good. :]

So yeah, kinda stressfull lately. Glad I did a bunch of shopping before that happened so I pla to show off the last of my new things for quite a while since they are all finally comeing in at the same time. ;p Also blogging is really fun for me and makes me happy so I want to try to do it more often to helpnprove my mood a bit.

So hopefully I will see you all soon! <3

Halloween outfit preview

Ok, so for starters, sorry for the horrible blurry pic from my phone. I hope to get better ones from when i wear this for Halloween at my work/parties. This is my ott sweet cyber lolita...sort of. I really wanted to make some cyberlox to go with it, but i ran out of time and money for them :[ so id really love to try another outfit once i can make me some cyberlox!

I was considering possibly posting my outfit to the egl costume contest, but im not sire if its good enough...

Also, im not sure if anyone can tell, but this is my take on a univorn costume. :] I actually have a second version of a lolita/cyber/unicorn costume for a halloween rave, so ill be sure to get a picture of that as well.

Also, random, but i worked off clock today as a favor to my boss in exchange for free food. I wore lolita and got to help kids make halloween crafts. This is the ghost i made :]

Armin van Buuren

So at the beginning of September I drove several hours to another town to see the #1 DJ in the world, god of trance music, Armin van Buuren! I was so suprised to find out that he was playing within driving distance of my town, so I couldnt NOT GO! I decided to wear my Sheep Garden to the show.

Makeup:

So I paid extra so I could get VIP tickets, because, well, it's Armin! The event was helled all day at a small resourt. The stage was poolside, which was pretty cool. Before Armin came on there were other local artists playing. The majority of the people who attended were all bros and people who dont typically go to raves, so it was a little odd.

While Armin's set was beautiful and amazing, I was really put off by the people in attendance. While one set was going a bunch of people thought i would be cool to start calling and chanting for Armin to come out and the current djs to step down which was incredibly rude. You would never see that sort of thing at any rave. Secondly, when Armin finally did come out, again, stupid bros thought it would be cool to keep on throwing beach balls everywhere, and they kept on bouncing off of the equipment on stage, and evin hit Armin in the head a few times! I was incredibly embarrased by everyones rude behavior! Third of all, my friend and I stood at the very front of the stage for over an hour before Armin even came out so we would be sure to front and center for his set befor it got crowded. I was front and center for Armin and it was amazing!!! What wasnt amazing was the stupid little girls behind me shoving me into the rail trying to get past me. So, I danced ever crazier, jumping up and down, and shaking my booty, making sure that unless they wantet their toes steped on or they wanted to get booty smashed, they would let ke have my space. Same goes for the guy who "dropped" his phone behind the rail in front of me and the girl to my right, who tried to get infront of us that way. Fortunately we were small enough to squish back in front of him and we both pushed him back into the crowed.

And my final dissapointment was that I spent extra for VIP, but they didnt have anything for VIP. But it was Armin and It was definately worth seeing him live, and so incredibly close! I was probably about 3 feet away from him! <3
