Pink roses and purple Dreams

Hello readers!

Today I finally wrote my entry for the Pentecost weekend. That was in the beginning of June and that means it's almost two months ago. So this entry comes late, but better late than never.
The Wave Gotik Treffen (WGT) is always around that time in Leipzig and there is also a picnic. A group of Lolitas planned a meet at this picnic. It's actually called 'Victorian Picnic', but since the WGT is for all kinds of Gothic related fashions, even our meet fits in the event.
I decided to wear APs Romantic Rose Letter to this occasion. The dress is very over the top and has something historicizing with a rococo touch. It's really nice to wear and the fabric falls in a nice, soft way. I customized a hat especially for this outfit. I felt quite comfortable, despite - as so often before - my eyes were in a bad shape that day.
The dress in all its beauty has one thing that really bothers me.
It is difficult due to its cut to combine different outfits with it. This is a bad thing for me and also kind of a reason to sell it. Actually, I've always the goal to put as many different outfits with a dress together as possible. Now I don't know if the one-sidedness of the dress isn't not too limiting.

We took a few pictures before we went to the picnic. Unfortunately we arrived a bit late. The pictures look a little like hat advertising. Schnatterinchen did a great job and kept the hat from every conceivable angle.

Dress - Angelic Pretty Romantic Rose Letter // OTKs - Angelic Pretty Romantic Rose Letter // Shoes - An*Tai*Na // Hat - customized offbrand // Bag - offbrand (it's not on the pictures) // Choker - Angelic Pretty // Accessories - offbrand
We arrived late but some of the others were still there. It was nice to meet other Lolitas again.
It was a nice day all in all. Even if some of the photographers were quite rude. It would be better without them buzzing around. To meet people in pretty outfits and to spend time together is nice and the reason why I love meetings. but some photographers don't seem to understand that you do not wear pretty things for them. Oh well, that's the problem with the public places.

Thanks for reading!

Summer picnic meet-up 2014

Hello readers!

Long time no see. Time near as always, that means weeks after the event, I decide to write something about a Lolita meet that we had here. It was a small picnic in the park.We were a small circle, but it was nice. And we had, as so often, too much food.
It was quite warm that day, so it wasn't able for me to wear my outfit as planned. But I really want to wear this dress, because I need space in my wardrobe and this JSK was one of the things I planned to sell.
I wore the Happy Ice Cream JSK by Angelic Pretty which is super voluminous and space occupying.

This was the outfit that I planned to wear. Well not exactly like this. Actually with a white blouse, but that one was unfortunately in the washer. The fur collar was way too warm, so I don't wore it. But because of that the balance of the outfit was not right anymore.
And here are some pictures from the meet:

We took some pictures. The sun was a little bit difficult, but I like how some of the pictures came out. These are just a few photos, there are more, but I don't upload them here.
Dress - Angelic Pretty Happy Ice Cream JSK // Blouse - Dear Celine // Tights - Lockshop Marie Catoinette // Shoes - Secret Shop // Headbow - Angelic Pretty // Bag - offbrand & BTSSB // Wrist Cuffs - Angelic Pretty // Accessories - offbrand, CuteCanKill & AP
I rarely take selfies, but I kind of like that one. Also my makeup was quite nice that day. But I still don't like close-ups.

The next entry will hopefully come soon. We took some photos with Romantic Rose Letter last month. 
Thank you for reading!

Photo shoot: Pink ice cream with rainbow sprinkles

Hello readers!

It's been a while since I wrote something. But it will probably always be like that. I try to blog regularly, but it will remain at about a blog entry per month.
Today I want to show you some pictures of a photo shoot from last month. Why so late? I literally had zero motivation to look through the pictures and to edit them. But now it's done. And I like how the pictures came out. There were many good photos and it's not always like that. Schnatti did such a good job.

The outfit I wore that day was the sweetest outfit I wore in a long time. It was a little bit like my older sweet outfits with many accessories and nice bright colours. At first it was a little weird for me because I actually don't like pink dresses that much. But when I wore the full outfit I loved it.

 
 
 
 
I love this pavilion. Unfortunately, some people repeatedly deface the walls. As you see here, it was clean and everything was nice. It was just freshly renovate at that time. But right now it looks once again awful. :(
Dress - Angelic Pretty Milky Planet // Blouse - offbrand // Socks - Angelic Pretty Candy Border // Shoes - Antenna // Headbow - Angelic Pretty // Other hair accessories - Chocomint, offbrand // Bag - offbrand // Accessories - Chocomint, CuteCanKill and Kawaii Factory
I don't like close-ups of my face, but that's nice and also a rare one, because I smile so big.
And this is the dress I'll wear soon:
Romantic Rose Letter is gorgeous in real life. The fabric is one of the nicest I ever touched. Haha. It's my first Angelic Pretty dress in this style.

 Thank you for reading! See you soon.

Book Fair Leipzig 2014 - Wow, That was quick

Hello readers!

It's been a while. But today I'm writing again.
In march it was time for the book fair in Leipzig again. I was looking forward to it, but this year wasn't really my year. Unfortunately I couldn't go every day, and also I had real trouble with my eyes. That was annoying and so my eye makeup was quite terrible the two days I visited the fair. I was very happy to meet some people again, but unfortunately I don't met everyone. So this event didn't go, as I would have wished for.
I also took some photos of some of the amazing looking people and the fair itself. But I didn't took that many pictures this year.

This is the outfit, which I then couldn't wear. It was planned for Friday, the day we didn't went to the fair. But we'll take pictures with it soon.
This is the outfit that I wore on Saturday. I'm pretty happy with it. That's rare. I made the hat for an other dress, but because the bonnet wasn't finished in time,  I've to wore something different. And I liked it.
Dress - Angelic Pretty Twinkle Carnival // Blouse - Dear Celine // Socks - Angelic Pretty Twinkle Carnival // Shoes - An*Tai*Na // Headbow - Angelic Pretty // Hat - handmade // Accessories - claire's and offbrand
There was a fashion show that day that was organized by Dunkelsüss. I took a lot of photos of every model and the show in general. But I show you just a few pictures of the ending with all models, so that there aren't so many photos in this entry. Here you also can see the book Shades of Wonderland: Die fabelhafte Welt japanischer Street Fashion, which was presented at the fair. This one here was raffled off later.
A few Lolita styles have been explained by the mods at the end of the show. Here you can see the Sweet Lolitas.
Some (unfortunately not all) Classic Lolitas.
And here we have Gothic Lolitas and a very creative Ero Lolita (I think so?) outfit.
Country Lolitas and one of the mods. It's a pity, that some Lolitas are missing in the photos, but it would be to picture heavy with everything.
We took some more pictures after the show.
This is the most epic headdress I ever saw. It's a real book, so you've always something to read.
It was the fair of Day Dream Carnival outfits. So many people wore this dress.
It was getting darker and my camera started to weaken.
But look at all the beautiful Lolitas. I was very happy to meet everyone (again).
Then the day was over and the next day began! Nina was actually the only cosplayer I photographed. I really wish I took more pictures. At least I was able to photograph some more pretty Lolitas. The darkblue dress below is self made. I really love the colour.
And that's my outfit. I'm not that happy. Some details are just not the way I wished. Actually I planned to wear two white feathers on my head, to make the headdress a little more interesting. But it was too windy outside. And there are other things... Outfit: Dress - Angelic Pretty Day Dream Carnival // Blouse - offbrand // Socks - Angelic Pretty Twinkle Carnival // Shoes - Bodyline // Headbow - Angelic Pretty // Accessories - Chocomint, h&m, claire's and offbrand
On Sunday I met Maria and Isa again. We wore the same dress on purpose. I love how we all have different details in our outfits
This is the view in the glass hall of the fair. There were a lot of cosplayers in this hall. The light is good there.


It was a nice weekend and it was great to meet all the people. Even if it could have been more.
There was a lack of time somehow.
But there's always a next year. and I'm looking forward to it. 
 That's it for today.

Have two bonus pictures, just because I really like these two. As so often, Schnatterinchen took all the pictures of me​. We had fun with the light here.


Thanks for reading!

The details of a brown unicorn - Angelic Pretty's Royal Unicorn

Hello readers!

It's the time of papers. I don't like that, but it's part of studying. I think I'm not a good student, because much of the university life gets on my nerves. It's not that I hate to learn. No, I really love to learn. I just hate to study. But I'm close to my master's degree, then it's over.

Sorry for all the talk about the university, now I come to the topic of this blog entry.
Actually, I don't buy so much Lolita related clothes nowadays. I have become very picky over the years and I don't like a lot of designs simply because there are some small details I don't like.
 But especially Angelic Pretty's Royal Unicorn series was love at first sight.

I think the fabric is the most beautiful, which Angelic Pretty ever used. It's just gorgeous. It's thick and the pattern is woven into the fabric. The hardest thing for me was to choose which style and which colourway I should get. Because I like the military style, I chose the JSK. And because brown goes well with the other things that I already own (like the brown Twinkle Carnival OTKs), I bought the brown JSK. But except for the pink version, I would like to have more items of this series in the future.
Really, no words can describe the beauty of the fabric and no photo can show it properly.
Nevertheless, I show you some photos here:

Everything still packed and with price tags. I also bought a few accessories to go with other dresses. That's why there are a pair of navy OTKs and a navy headbow.
Musee du Chocolat thights, Royal unicorn thights and headbow.
I thought the Musee du Chocolat thights would look nice with the JSK. And they do. But it is maybe a little too tone on tone. And both may go well with Chess Chocolate or the Toy March LP, but I've to try that.
I love the design of the tights. Especially on the top. Unfortunately you can't see it worn. They are made of a thick (hopefully durable) material.
And that is basically a picture of the whole set. Haha, oh no. I'm really sorry for the light.
It was nearly dark when I took the pictures. Nevertheless I hope you get an impression of the beauty.
The dress has a velvet bodice and also velvet waist ties, some beatiful golden details, tassels and a pretty brooch.
Loyalty OTKs and a headbow where I forgot the name. I bought this for my navy Toy March OP. And I think it also matches with Holy Night Story. Blue ist the best colour. I just love blue. And blue with red. Haha.
I bought the Brithish College OTKs with the same background thoughts a while back. You  can see them on the next picture.
Romantic Rose Letter OTK in pink, mint and sax and the sax headbow.  Romantic Rose Letter is a very pretty series. I really love it. I bought the socks and headbow for Tiara Rose and Memorial Cake. I've a lot blue dresses, so it may matches with other clothes too. Maybe the mint OTK look good with  Meta's Honey Picnic. But I'm not sure. And et plus: I hope to find the dress later and so I've some accessories already.
I really like the design of the socks. And the bow looks so pretty with the pearls and the rose. Thanks to the headbow I now know that Romantic Rose Letter is made ​​of a thin soft fabric. A lot softer and thinner than older flower prints.

This is an entry with many photos of clothes. I'm a little infatuated with pretty fabrics and designs. Haha, I hope you like it too. And by the way, I didn't bought everything at once. It's just what gathered over the last few months. I'm really looking forward to wear Royal Unicorn and the other stuff for the first time.

 Thanks for reading!
