Still no wallpaper unfortunately, but I have another outfit I wore yesterday!
This dress has been hanging in my closet for a while now, I didn't wear it before because it's a wrinklemonster. It's bad. I steamed it twice and it's still wrinkly. But I might just have to get over it, because it does have a lovely silhouette! I also thought that it was a bit boring, so I made a flower brooch and clipped 2 matching flowers to the "drape" of the skirt.

Oh yeah! No heels! The reason why I wore heelless shoes is not because they're super comfy (which they really are!), but because they have flowers on them! I should've taken a close up, because it matched perfectly :)

Lolita OOTD - Library Dress

Another absence, I'm really not writing here as often as I'd like, but this time I have a good reason!
I moved to a new apartment again and it took a bit to get settled. Half is still in boxes and it all looks
like a mess, but it feels good enough to take time for pictures again!

I hope to have the wallpaper that I ordered up on this wall soon and maybe I can get or make some decorations to pretty it up a little!

So today I filmed another youtube video and decided to dress it up just a little bit, so this is more of a toned down lolita outfit. Of course I just use this as an excuse because I have trouble trying to coordinate this absolutely beautiful dress.

Oh in a little more than a week I'm off to the US again! I'm going to be at Anime Matsuri with Lockshop Wigs and there will be a lot of beautiful wigs for sale there! Please pop by and say hi! We're at booth #730 in the exhibitors hall and there should be a LOT of brand spanking new wigs
that are at the fashion show! So excited, I can't wait :D

Lolita OOTD - Holiday Red

Oh - instead of winter blues I'm suffering from the holiday red. And no, it's not period related.
Actually, just kidding, I don't really care about holidays at all, but this outfit did kind of turn out festive for being an outfit of mine!

There are a lot of dresses in my closet that I've never worn, partially because I feel like the rest of my closet doesn't suit it, and today I made an outfit with one of those dresses. It feels like it could be a bit more balanced, but I don't have a lot of colors to play with so I did my best :) I kind of want a cute beret to go with this dress!



Okay maybe I've got a bit the winter blues...

And I definitely need more lolita shoes! But it's been quite difficult to find suitable shoes, that are not only pretty, but also nice quality, comfortable and affordable. I had custom orders from Antainna a couple times before, but they always kind of disappoint. Even if you get them to make the shoes in leather, the designs feel kind of off. But we'll see what the future brings, maybe a new shoe brand? ;)



The wig is a sample wig, soon to appear on my wig shop Lockshop Wigs, it's from the Pure line, which is more natural and very suitable for daily wear. When I got it, I first wasn't sure about the style, but there is a very limited amount of cute shorter wigs and most of this length are simple bobs. The waves in this kind of give it a less polished and more playful feel, making it 100% less boring too! I can't wait to stock it :3

Lolita OOTD - Golden Rose

I know, it's been forever, but I decided to revive my blog again because as usual, I have the biggest plans ever! I wanted a place where I can keep proper track of outfits etcetera, and quite frankly, Tumblr is terrible for that!

I've been meaning to wear lolita at least once a week, a bit because I've collected so much beautiful dresses that need to be worn, but also because I feel good when wearing lolita and taking pretty pictures! However it's easier said than done, it always takes forever for me to get ready and mostly it feels like it's too much effort to get up an do it. Doing my best to get out of this rut though!
Because I didn't wear lolita last Sunday, I wore it today - an ivory and gold outfit - I wish I had golden shoes, but hey maybe in the future!

 

I tried my best to take a clear picture of the make-up, no color effects.

Most of the detailing hardly shows up, I added gold dots and highlighted various parts

of my face with a super shimmery gold. 

 

I know halos and other religious inspired headwear is the trend in lolita fashion right now,
and because I feel it's kind of overused at the moment I was a bit hesistant to wear the

headband, but I didn't have a lot of gold toned headwear and I wanted to add something to balance it out! I actually bought it quite a while ago, it's made by Maroonsparrow, and I never had the chance to wear it with anything. I decided to cover it up with the flowers a bit, so that there are only hints of it, and that it doesn't overtake the outfit. I went for a partial up-do with my wig - it's Mermaid Dust -

Well, that was my outfit for now! I feel like I want to do lighter coords more often, and I want to add gold to ALL the things! But first I'm going to take it a bit easier when it comes to purchases :)

Haenuli's Sleeping Beauty Review

When I saw Korean brand Heanuli's beautiful Sleeping Beauty print pop up on Facebook I fell immediately in love, the beautiful and elegant print is very versatile and can easily work in classic, gothic and sweet styles due to the large amount of color choices that are available!

There were 2 different styles of OP, 1 JSK and 1 high waisted skirt.

There was one "basic" style OP (shown left upper picture, $210) with puff sleeves and lacing at the sides of the waist and lace running through the middle of the waist, I really love the lacing at the sides, but OP's never fit me correctly because I have tiny shoulders and bust.

The other OP (shown left lower picture, $240) is a special edition, with a white top part (wich I absolutely love - it's so elegant looking) and detachable sleeves. It has no shirring.

The JSK (shown right upper picture, $190) has lacing at the sides like the basic style OP and is in my opinion the most versatile piece of the collection.

And not to forget the high waisted skirt (shown right lower picture, $110), it has plastic corset boning and partial shirring! 

What I noticed is that the designs are actually quite long, so if you're a tall girl then you don't have to worry about the length at all!  ♥

The dresses and skirt are available in 7 different color choices, now here is where the problem came in for me... choosing the dress/skirt style was already difficult, but the color even more!
I didn't want to go for the black, because I already have so much black in my closet, and I thought the ivory colorway was very beautiful and suitable for classic, but it wouldn't really fit in my closet.

Haenuli actually helped me with picking a color, and in the end I settled for the bordeaux colorway of the JSK! I have to say... this preview picture doesn't do it justice at all!

Pre-ordering was really easy and Haenuli was an absolute sweetheart to work with, despite having problems with the factory that printed her fabric, everything was delivered in a very timely manner!
The order was shipped with EMS and I surprisingly didn't have to pay any customs fee and the package was marked as a gift without me having to ask for it （　´∀｀）

 

She even included a cute mousepad, card holder and a super sweet note!  ＼(*T▽T*)／

 

The pink packaging contains my order! And some more goodies, I think Haenuli wants to make me fat with the candy hahah! Omnomnom (｀▽´)Ψ 

 The dress and the headbow! The headbow has lace added as I requested ♥

 Close up of the bodice and the headbow (click the picture to enlarge),
it has a detachable bow on the front! 

 

Close up of the back, corset lacing and shirring! I like that it's not through

the lace like with Baby for example, I'm always afraid that the lace rips!

 Beautiful, crisp print with amazing colors and matching lace!

Lining!

The dress is made of a super soft feeling polyester that has a bit of a stretch to it.
I prefer fabric like this because it doesn't wrinkle or attract hair, so it's quite low maintenance.
On the inside there was an extra fabric covered button (for the straps) attached, a business card, a fabric sample and instructions on how to take care of the dress! It's good to know that you can wash it by hand, I always worry about that! She also made the dress a bit smaller than usual so it would fit me better, I didn't request it because I didn't know that would be ok so it was such a pleasant and sweet surprise!

I didn't take any pictures of the dress worn yet, because I'm waiting on a blouse that matches, I think that it will look absolutely beautiful paired with an ivory blouse, since that comes back in the print. So hopefully I can wear it soon! 

My rating of Haenuli & Sleeping Beauty:

Quality of items: ★★★★★

Finishing of items: ★★★★☆ (no loose threads or anything, but there were 2 small pulls in the fabric)

Price: ★★★★★ (I think this price is absolutely fine for the quality, but I think it might make people a bit uncertain because it's not a very wellknown brand)

Communication:  ★★★★★ (I would give more than 5 stars if possible)

Overall: ★★★★★

Would I buy again? 

YES! It was a pleasure to deal with Haenuli, and the items are so much better than I ever imagined ♥
