Fulfilling Food and Pretty People

So today I went out to eat with Belle and agentlemandoesnotconga for some Chicken Parmigiana at Mrs.Parma. Wore my first Lolita coordination of the year. I had a little had time planning what i want to wear since I have gotten so many new things recently. I plan to wear Lolita more to outings with my beautiful friends and or to any of my community meets. 

Here is my outfit coordination for today! Went more Gothic today and I loved it!

Coordination rundown

JSK - Moi-meme-Moitie

Blouse - Innocent World

Shoes - An*tai*na 

Choker - Off brand

Ahh my face is always so derpy in photos (don't look at me!!) I somewhat wanted to wear a wig out today. At least the weather wasn't too bad for Melbourne at least. My petticoat doesn't give much Poof but I quite like it like that a little when I wear dresses out more a casual basis. Though I will getting a new one that will have a  lot more poof.

I totally at a continent guys, + a side island that comes with it. So I had the Mexican Parma plus i enjoy eating jalapeño, and sour cream with salsa & avocado. It was quite yummy and enjoyable to eat. I ate it all!

Here are some lovely fun photos

Even though both me and Belle are wearing boots I'm so short TT_TT

There is a rainbow  XD

 

Some wind came and start splashing water across us.

For the rest of the day we went to Daiso for a bit of shopping, looked around Myer, chatted to some lovely people. Bought some drinks and then went our separate ways home since Belle doesn't in our area. Although we had to take a replacement bus home a couple stop before our stop on the train. Due some more power failures on the train tracks as usual.

All in all I had a pretty good day out, been a while since I was out and about in Lolita.

Thanks for reading!!

New Frills

Hello beautiful and welcome!

So recently I went to go pick up some of the things I bought from my awesome friend agentlemandoesnotconga whom he and another friend went to Japan early December and came back early January. He was able to purchase me stuff from Japan, mainly from Closet Child, since you don't get to see all the stock they have online. I bought three dresses, one of the dresses was an unintentional/ I guess somewhat impulse buy but I really like how it looks one me. So I finally got around taking photos of the pieces.

 Innocent World - Stradivarius Flare JSK (2014/ Brown-Cafe Au Lait)

So here are some close up details.

I'm actually quite that I was able to get this JSK. At first I wasn't so sure about the bodice colour and the print of the dress. I thought it would have been better off as just a skirt. But I was able to see this dress in real life at Kanga Kanga, which they have the Bordeaux, flare JSK version. I absolutely fell in love it. The stock photos don't do this dress and justice. It looks amazing in real life and I'm really glad I am got this dress. I would also like to get the dress in Bordeaux as well in the Royal blue colour. So the bodice isn't a bright yellow-orange colour, it's more towards a pale tone of yellow-orange colour. The fabric is beautiful and has a lovely textual feeling.

Baby the Stars Shine Bright - Royal Crown Flock Print JSK (2009/ Black-White)

I love old school black and white dresses. It was interesting that agentlemandoesnotconga found this dress in Closet Child. So this one is similar to my Josephine JSK, both are velveteen and have flocking print. I have a few velveteen dresses, my Btssb dresses are light in material comparative to my Infanta Velveteen dress which it weighs a ton. It is a long style dress but it's a little longer on me since it's like short. The only issue I really have with it, it's really minor that it has a back zip. So I have to contort my body to attempt to zip it up but it's a lot better than side zip because side zips tend get stuck.

(Sorry I need to run a lint roller on these dresses velvet dresses are lint magnets O_O) 

Moi-même-Moitié - Rose Frills (2002/ Black)

So this dress was my unintentional purchase, they coerced me into buy it. I'm only joking. I quite happy with this dress, I love this old school styled Moitié and I'm so glad it fits me well. So it has a black chiffon overlay with dusty blue floral pattern (totally made from curtains). It's such a simple style dress. I would of gotten another Moitié piece which was a skirt but the only issue I have with Moitié skirts is that most of the skirts waist size don't have any extra give and I love their skirts TT_TT. 

Thank you for coming by and reading <3 

I still need to coordinate and wear dresses out and take photos 

Ista Mori - Nameless Poem (2014/ Re-release)

Ista Mori - Nameless Poem (2014)

Hello beautiful people.

So yesterday morning I received my Ista Mori - Nameless Poem OP, re-release version in the mail. I didn't think it would arrive this week.

How I went about ordering the dress:

I had looked at my options of where and how I could purchase it. I knew that Ista Mori had a Storevny page which you purchase/ pre-order and of their releases, but the only issues for me was that the prices were in USD, which the exchange rate in AUD ened up pretty expensive. 

So I went to have a look around at the many shopping services that people used for Taobao and weighed my options. As usual some of services offered a fair deal in terms of Service Fee, delivery rates and what currency they used for payments. Some of them didn't have an option for HKD/ RMB to AUD currency. Usually it'll would be HKD/ RMB to USD but the exchange rate wasn't much of a difference which in fact wasn't too much of a problem.

So after taking the time to think which shopping service I wanted to take on. I decided on using Loli-Loli Paradise shopping services on Facebook. I messaged Loli-Loli Paradise on 6th Nov (2014) for a quote before I had decided if I really wanted to buy this dress. In which she replied back to me on the 7th of Nov. I confirmed my details to her and she invoiced me via Pay Pal for the first half of the pre-order payments. Since this was a pre-order I would have to wait pretty much til end of year to next year this I received my dress. I was then invoiced on 23rd of Dec for the second half of the pre-order payment. I received another message on the 28th of Dec, that my order would be shipped out. So it took just under 2 weeks for my package to arrive to my place. Unfortunately I did not receive a tracking number for my package so I wasn't sure when the dress would arrive.

Over all time: approximately 2 months

Shopping Service: Loli-Loli Paradise

Very good communication, transaction of payment went pretty smoothly and package was well packed.

Here is the dress with and without the detectable collar

Close up of the collar details

 Details on the cross embroidery, it's actually silver, in the stock photo it looks white.

Close up details of the buttons used on the dress.

The construction of the dress is really well made. At first I thought it would be a light chiffon material but it's pretty heavy, polyester material. It has another layer for the lining, which gives it more thickness and weight the dress. The dress has great feeling and texture. The dress is long on me since I'm only 153 cm (5.1 ft) @_@ compared to a lot of other girls I know who have the dress, which whom are taller than me so the dress comes off shorter for them.

I found this dress quiet simply beautiful and that I love black and white dresses. the embroidery and buttons are quiet beautiful in person. When I tried the dress on, I love how it looked on me since I was worried that the style wouldn't fit me.

I will definitely take photos of me in the dress sometimes when it's not 40 Billion degree Celsius in Australia!
