December 9
I usually write on this blog on the very last day of the year. In the past few years I had either saved up some words and published them together, or I just let my mind let out what it needed to on that date. As I was still searching what I really wanted, because I was unsure about everything to do with this website (did I want a blog? a portfolio? what would be its focus? writing, or photography, a mix of both by posting about Lolita fashion, or maybe I could focus on vegan food, post travel adventures, perhaps a mix of all of the above, which is…
VLOGMAS ♡ DAY 1
HAPPY DECEMBER! I’m pretending that I am not drowning in work and deadlines and decided to do a fun little vlogging project. It’s called vlogmas and basically it means you vlog every day until Christmas. Sounds fun, right? I need to get more confident in blogging and I wanted to do more ‘as I go’ kind of videos rather than me just sitting around talking, so hopefully this project will help with that. December 1st was quite an action-packed day so it’s a bit long, but I don’t think all of them will be this long. Hope you enjoy! skirt ☆ Angelic Pretty ♡ Twinkle Ornament blouse ☆ Innocent World cardigan ☆ New Look
January 1
Why hello. It’s 2015 now. I wrote something on December 31st, 2013 – something long, something sad. It was tough to write… The support I got was overwhelming, and everybody who has been with me over the last year, I thank you so, so much. Things have changed tremendously from that moment until now, and it’s mostly for the better, and I’m so thankful and grateful for it! It was a crazy year and I’ve learned and grown so much, and I hope to continue to keep working on myself and make things better. So let’s take this moment to look back in positives!
bridlington ♡ beach
Hello hi, it’s been a very crazy very busy two months, but I finally have energy to post something again. Sooooo, in June when I was still in the UK, Beccy offered to go to the seaside before I left (to go “see my people”), so we all dressed up in our Nightmare Rising sailor JSKs and had a fun day out!
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.
vief ♡ 6%dokidoki perfect book!
Let me introduce to you: the 6%dokidoki Perfect Book! It’s a mook [magazine-book] published by 6%dokidoki, of which I am a big fan. I got this thing ages ago and it’s hardly news anymore, but if you’re one of the people who hasn’t gotten this mook yet: get ittttt~!
Question ☆ Tell something more about your tattoos?
What do they mean to you/where did you get them done/random thoughts you have about them? Well, you asked, I over-delivered. This is quite long and detailed, but I hope it answers everything and if you still have more questions, don’t hesitate to ask! My first tattoo is a ‘secret’, it’s not really a big deal I just like to keep it as much to myself as possible. I got it when I was 18. As you may or may not know I have a history with self injury and depression and this tattoo is important to me because it means that I make my own choices and I make my own…
vief ♡ fun saturdays
April 6th [helloooo time machine hahaha] was a beautiful day: the sun was out, it was Easter break. First I went for breakfast at Peach & Pear and then after that I went with a couple of Lolita friends to see Mary Poppins. YAY!
pma ♡ things that make me smile
I like to remember my life by making a list of things that make me smile. Here’s an overview of my March 2013:
lolitas of Leeds ☘ march meet up
On March 17th, which was ☘ St. Patrick’s Day ☘, I organised a meet up for the lovely lolitas of Leeds which centred around the colour GREEEEN~!!
Ash & Vief ♡ twinning!
This post has probably been the most work I’ve put into something for no actual good reason other than I wanted to do it and it seemed fun. The idea certainly seemed a lot more fun before I had to trek through all my five hard disks in search of things, and in the mean time I also had the misfortune to discover that I’ve lost another month worth of photos [discovering that I have lost photos, to me, is quite upsetting.] – which happened to me before and really made me sad. But now that I’ve had a few moments to recover, I’m finally ready. I am here to…
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].
