30 Day Lolita Challange- Day 5/New sewing idea project

10 thrings from your wishlist

I can't find a picture of this one. But I have seen Baby, the Stars Shine Bright come out with them before.
1. A full black apron. Since I try to wear lolita everyday, there are just some things that I would like extra protection for my clothes. Since black is mor or less stain friendly, and I tend to wear darker colothers, I have really wanted a black full apron to wear while watering my plants, picking my herbs, and doing my dishes, etc. Not only that, but I think a ruffly black apron plus little ruffly heart pockets would be super adorable!

Picture from ebay seller
2. Ai*tai*na frill rocking hirse shoes. When I first saw them years ago I thought they were UGLY! But the past few years I can't get enough of them! I just havn't been able to decide on a color to get!

3. Black otk socks with white lace at the top. I don't care if it is considered ita. As long as its nice lace, it will rock! I am a sock addict and have been yearning for this type of sock to wear with my coords!!!

4. A black half-bonnet. I have always loved bonnets, but I think half-bonnets look better and less costumy/pilgrim/little bow peep to the average person. Plus you can wear your hair up in them! I am actually half way there for this one. I just bought an adorable black bunny bonnet from Baby the Stars Shine Bright. BUT it is a full bonnet...but none the less adorable.

5. I know I have mentioned this before, but I LOVE bunnies and I really want Angelic Pretty's Bunny Pocket jsk in blue. Then again I might like it in black as well since I'm really not much for sweet.

6. Angelic Pretty's Whip Magic OP. And socks to match it, as well as the two Whip Magic JSKs I have in each color. This i my ultimate dream print, and to be honest I am obsessed. But now it dosen't feel as much as an urge to get it now That I have both JSKs in two different colorways with both their own matching headbows. But either way I am always looking out for it!

7. Vampire Requiem High waisted skirt in red. I really don't understand all the hype about this print. It is prtty, but definately not dream dress status. But if I ever found it for a good non-scalped price then I may consider getting it. I didn't even really like it untill I saw a really beautiful coord with it. So now i kind of want it.

8. Angelic Pretty's camo op and headdress set. I remember this from way back when in the "old school" days. I use to make my own camo headdresses to wear since this was before I could buy lolita. I have always been in love with this dress!

9. Another camo OP, this time pink, and this time from Metamorphose. Either way, still lots of love for this one. I think I actually went crazier for this one then the one by Angelic Pretty.

I do believe this is from Atelier-Pierrot? Please correct me if I am wrong!
10. A cage skirt! I just think they look so awesome!

All right! So I mentioned the lolita camo above. I forgot about these pieces until I was actually was reading Fyeah Lolita, and the newest entry is actually about the old camo prints in lolita! I remember I was always into camo when I was younger, so when I saw that these lolita brands came out with camo lolita, I was so excited that the all mighty lolita gods made it officially A-OK! These pieces are pretty old, so I don't have much hope for actually finding them for myself, however I have been thinking of a new sewing project for a while now, so I think I might go with this one! Fortunately I get paid again soon so I think I'm going to have to search all the fabric stores in my town for a nice camo fabric. I don't care if no body else likes camo lolita. It's one of thoese things that brings back memories from my youth...not that I'm all that old anyways! XP

I think what I am going to do is make a skirt and if I can't find my old camo headdress, I'll just make a new one to go with it!

30 Day Lolita Challange- Day 3/A Recepie

Before I go to the day 3 of the lolita challange, I wanted to share a recepie really quick. I have been on a diet the past few weeks and have discovered many delicious new recepies to try. Honestly because of the food I have had the past few weeks I havn't even felt like I have been on a diet!

Orange Roughy in Scallion and Ginger Sauce
Orange Roughy is a type of fish. It can also be substituted for Cod, Sole, or Flounder, allthough I HAVE tried it with tillapia and it was equally as amazing.

1/3 cup dry sherry or vermouth
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/4 cup finely chopped scallion (green onion)
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
2 orange roughy fillets (1 pound)

Preheat oven to 400 DEGREES FARENHEIGHT. Mix the sherry or vermouth, soy sauce, sesame oil, onion, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl.
Place the fish fillets in an ovenproof casserole dish. Drizzle the marinade over the fish and baoe for 12 minuets or untill the fish flakes easily.

30 Day Lolita Challange- Day 3
10 Things You Hate In Lolita
1. The Drama! Actually, there really isnt much drama, so I really don't understand why people think there is a bunch of drama surrounding lolitas. I think what is mainly it is over-reacting noobs who, when approached with con-crit freak out assuming everyone is trying to badh the. Which rarely happens! Most people just want to help out and some people just over-react. But honestly I dont think I have ever seen someone be mean to anybody for no reason. Thus, I really hate the misconceptio that lolitas ar meanies or drama lamas. Were basically the same as pretty much anybody regardless of what we all wear.

2. I hate how lolita isn't really suited for the hot weather. I live in the hot north western climate. It gets so unbearably hot I pretty much have to quit lolita for about 3 months out of the year.

3. The price! Even though I get a lot of my pieces at cheap secondhand prices, $100 for a dress is still a lot! Not to mention all the money you spend on shipping! If I sold my entire wardrobe I could probably buy a car that was built in this century(my current car is a 1992).

4. Ankle socks and knee socks! Allthough I have seen girl with really cute coordinates who can pull them off, I really don't like them. At least on me anyways. They seem to make my legs stubby, and just look way too childish for my liking. I prefer otk socks and tights, but like I said its basically my personal fashion tastes.

5. The sizes. Allthough I pretty much fit everyhing, I have bought dresses that are perfect in every way except being just slightly too small for either my boobs, or JUST my ribs! Its very dissapointing.

6. Going along with the above, I really wish sometimes that I could try on things before purchase.

7. The name. Allthough a lit of people don't even know the definition of lolita, the ones who do just cant seem to get atound the word, and it is really irritating!

8. People thinking I am dressed like an anime character :/ (this happened this last International Lolita Day when I wore lolita to a rave because well...how could I not dress up for ILD?)

9. People thinking that just because you are dressed in lolita clothing you are suppose to act all sweet anf innocent and propper. I personally can not help but swear like a sailor at times, and if someone pushes my buttons, you bet your sweet ass I'll let them have it! Also it irritaretes me new to the fashion girls tell me how they love sweet lolita, but it dosent match their personality! Whats this?! Some of the most cheerful happy bubbly people I have ever met were Goth! I really don't understand it! :/

10. The people who think just because of your ethnicity you can/can't pull off lolita like other people. :[

YAY! I am so happy I have been able to keep this up this long! :]

Day 2- 10 Things You Love In Lolita
1. I think the one thing that atracted me right off the bat was all the details that are in each and every pice of lolita clothing, such as the lace, pintucks, gathers, etc. The attention to detail is wonderful and makes me feel special just looking at it. The clothing really is a work of art by itself!

2. The shoes! I absolutely adore all the lolita shoes! They are all so cute and come in eveery color and shade you could think of!

3. I love all the crazy things brands put out! Pvc mini skirts, mini skirts in general, cakes and pastries to wear on your head, and even an ice cream cone headdress Angelic Pretty came out with a few years back! While it is all lolita brand stuff, you can easily make a "normal" outfit with ao these wacky items as well to give your lazy days i nice touch of cute withought having to go all out.

4. OTK socks. I kind of have an obsession with socks in general but I love all the cute sicks I can wear in lolita, and even pair them up with a cute non lolita outfit as well.

5. The community. Not only do I adore my local community, I love how I can be in touch with thousands of other frilly ladys and gents with just a press of a button.

6. Even though there are a few local lolitas here, I love the fact that unless we plan to hang out, chances are I will NOT run into anybody who wears lolita, let alone what it is. So its nice to walk around without seeing someone wearing the same thing you are.

7. All the various styles and looks you can have in lolita, yet at the end of the day it is still lolita.

8. It may sound lame, but i LOVE twirling around in my lolita skirts and dresses! Its so fun having them flair out while you spin! Or doing the booty shake to help your petticoat floof out.

9. The reactions! Obviously not all have been good, but the compliments are always awesome, especially with the children! I have been called princess, a beautiful lady, and I even once overheard a little girl exclaim to her mother that when she grew up she wanted to be just like me.

10. I suppose the most import thing is, the thing i love the most about lolita is lolita itself. No matter how long I go between wearing lolita, no matter what other fashions or hobbies I get into, I always go back to lolita. I just have some special conection to it. It makes me feel confident, amazing and beautiful. Not only does it put a smile on my face, but i have knoticed it puts smiles on the faces of others when they see me. And to know that wearing lolita has made others happy, makes me all the more happier! Sometimes it feels like I didn't choose lolita, rather that it chose me.

So I hope to be able to keep up with this! >_< So I suppose I will start with day one now! 10 Things About My Lolita Bubble
1. Even though I was a tomboy growing up, I have always loved and admired super girly items. I esspecially had a fascination with Victorian England and Rococo France. I longed to live in their world and wear all their clothes, so when I discovered lolita I felt so right at home and so perfect!
2. It has been round 8 years now since I discovered lolita. I try to wear it as often as possible but unfortunately that isn't always possible. And despite my love for lolita, I still love my stash of mini skirts and micro-minis!
3. Ero lolita has always apeald to me. Especially since the desert heat makez wearing lolita difficult. Hopefully summer will come to an end soon this year because I cant stand the heat! I can't wear lolita. But my goal for next summer is to have a nice collection of bloomers, underbust corsets and cute frilly camis so I can finally stay cool, keep my frills, and live out my dream of trying out ero lolita!
4. Lolita has ruined me as far as whenever I see anything with lace in a mainstream store I can't help but think "Ewww! That lace is atrocious!" if I see anything that I would not have on my lolita dresses.
5. I dont like sweet lolita too much because It makes me feel too childish, and I allready have people telling me they think im 16, but for some reason I keep on falling in love with sweet print dresses, buying them, and not knowing how to coordinate them into my wardrobe.
6. Even though big rectangle headdresses are consitered "ita" by some, they were all the rage when I first got into the fashion, so I use to make my own and wear them with my normal clothing since I didnt have anything else lolita to wear. So thoes big silly looking headdresses will always have a special place in my heart.
7. I don't like it when people call it "old-school" lolita. It just makes me feel old. Besides, I think I prefer the look of lolita back when i first started out then to the crazy OTT pastel pink vomit rainbow stuff it has been the past few years.
8. As mentioned above, it gets ridiculously hot here at times, so sometimes I skip out on the petticoat. I have several dresses that have a nice poof all on their own that I love to wear. However for the ones that dont have a good poof on thei own, I will definately wear a petti.
9. I really love all the girls I have met through lolita! They are all so much fun! Sometimes I prefer to see them then my normal friends because the are all so kind and sweet, plus they are super adorable! I am very gracious to lolita for bringing us all together!
10. I adore bunnys. I finally got a bunny last year, and since then I have been fawning over every bunny print or bunny item I find. In fact, my new dream dress is Angelic Pretty's Bunny Pocket jsk in blue. I know that they have a replica, but I want the real thing!

Welcome to Frilly Little Rave Girl!

Hello! My name is Candice and I have been into he lolita fashion for a long time now! I always love to write down how i am feeling about certain things, so I figured I would finally take it to the next step and create a blog!

Blogs seem to be really popular right now, especially in the lolita comunity! So I have finally taken the plunge! I am always looking for new, fun, REGULARLY UPDATED lolita blogs so I figured whats one more the pot?

I suppose I should start off with a bit more info about me and my blog, so here it goes!

Me~
I have been into lolita for around 8 years now! A lot of people it seems only wear lolita for meet ups and special events. However for me, it is a dear love of mine and I try to wear it as often as possible! For me, it is my "normal" clothes.

I have seen people and trends come and go, I have seen the best and the worst items put out by brands, Ive seen the lolita community grow, slowly get a steady hold on mainstream culture (for example, celebrities wear the fashion, and have seen a mainstream brand just flat-out steal lolita brand designs!), and have heard all sides to every community discussion or argument. That said, I dont really post too much, so for me this blog is to try and help motivate me to become more involved!

What to expect from my blog~
What I wold realy love to do is to be able to activly participate in lolita memes! I allready have a few on my list I am dying to do! In addition to memes I would like to post photos of events I go to, and outfits I wear on a daily basis. This is a primarily lolita blog but every now and then I am fortunate enough to get some time off of work to attend a rave and I am sure I will end up covering that as well. Raves are just as big of a part of me as lolita is!

Goals~
I suppose my main and only goal is to post often! I want to prove to myself that I can! I am aiming for everyother day, but sometimes it can not be helped, so if all else fails at least once a week! Nothing is more bothersome when a blog you love to stalk suddenly goes on a hiatus withought warning or notification! So please cheer me on as I attempt all this!

Thank you so much to everyone who is reading! Feel free to add any con crit, or share thoughts or comments about anything! I love discussing things with like minded people!

This is Candice signing off for the first time! :]
