lolitas of Leeds ♡ ILD summer 2014
Hallo hallo, long time no blog!! Well, I’m freeeeeee [pretty much] from university now, so, time to catch up! Every summer and winter, lolitas all over the world celebrate International Lolita Day, which falls on the first weekend of June and first weekend of December. I think the official day is on a saturday for some reason but a lot of people also have meet ups and celebrations on the sunday. Which was the case for us, Lolitas of Leeds, because we held a SUPER GIANT MEGA MEET on Sunday the 8th of June.

Lolitas of Leeds ♡ J-Pop GO!
I say lolitas of Leeds… but my other friends were there too! On Saturday March 16th, there was a special J-Pop and K-Pop night in one of the clubs of Leeds University Union, called Mine, and this event was called J-Pop GO! and is apparently organised in different places at different times [website]. When it finally came to Leeds, this promised to be a fun event because all the lolitas agreed to dress up and of course the music would be to our taste [not like at other club events where it’s just Top 40 blabla].
Lolitas of Leeds ♡ february meet up
On february 16th, our lovely Sophie organised a meet up for the lolitas of Leeds with cute crafting and yummy food. The first half of the meet was walking around Leeds with photographers and as a result of that, there are some pretty photos of the gorgeous girls of our community… However, since I wasn’t there for that part I can’t report on it. I joined the group when they were inside the Leeds public library and just about to start crafting.
Publication in Marie Claire
Hiii world! I have fun news! You can find me and some of my lolita friends in the September issue of Marie Claire magazine!! The magazine is reporting on the spring edition of Hyper Japan, which I visited with Ash earlier this year. I still have to write my own report, but it’s okay because apparently magazines also take months. Haha. At least now I feel a little more inspired to hurry up ;) Let’s take a look at the pages of the magazine!
