First Ever Meetup!

Image
Hello friends, affiliates, and otherwise! Today I bring to you the tale of my first real meetup (not counting this one, hour-long video chat I did).  It all began May 29th, 2021, when I suddenly recall hearing about a meetup about a week before. I sprint to my comm's discord server to realize that not only was I correct about the meetup, but it would be taking place later that day! I scrambled to respond in the channel that I might be going, but as I cannot yet drive, when I would be able to make it was still unplanned. Every hour, I pestered my mother. "Who's taking me?" I would ask, but all I received was, "One of us will" in reference to her and my father. I was mildly panicked, since I didn't know if I would be able to make it to the ramen shop in time, or if I'd have to wait till tea at 7. All was for naught, however, as I found out that my father would be able to take me with plenty of time for noodles.  Now for the coord, as I'm sure you a...

Wonder Story!!

  Dearest friends, affiliates, and otherwise; today I come to you all with a review of Wunderwelt’s service. You see, about five months ago, I spotted a glorious dress on their site, Angelic Pretty’s Wonder Story JSK, and I simply had to own it. The price was good, I had the money, and everything was set... until I realized that I did not have a PayPal account nor a credit card. So off to my mother I went, to whom I pleaded with to allow me to buy the dress and pay her back. However, she would not permit me to buy it until after Christmas (It was November at the time).  Time passes, and everyday I am checking back on Wunderwelt. December begins soon enough, and suddenly, the dress was gone. I was distraught. I had the money! I had the means! But I did not have the patience... until about a week and half later when the exact same Wonder Story comes up for the exact same price. It had returned! So Christmas Day, after presents are opened and patience is thin, I beg my mother to...

Holiday Print Appreciation

Image
Hello friends, affiliates, and otherwise! I hath returned, this time with an unspecified holiday special! I will be displaying some of my favorite non-specific holiday prints for the month of December. All of these prints are cross/religion free, and focus more on the general snowfall-feel. Starting off, we have  Fairy Snow Decoration  by Angelic Pretty This print is gorgeous! From the sparkly lace, to the swans and unicorns, FSD really gives off that snow pixie vibe. Second is  Sugar Dream Dome , also by AP Sugar Dream Dome is that perfect winter holiday print. The touches of gold really pop, especially on the navy colorway, and give it that classic holiday feel. Now we have   Fairy Crystal Snow   by Baby the Stars Shine Bright Stunning. Walking in a winter wonderland? More like walking AS a winter wonderland! The stylistic snowflakes give this jsk a very unique feel, and separates it from other prints. Last but certainly not least is  Queen of Snow  ...

Cheap Brand Coord Challenge

Image
Good day friends, affiliates, and otherwise! Today I come to you all with a post inspired by Cupcake Kamisama's post  where she makes three sweet lolita brand coords as cheaply as possible using Wunderwelt  and  Closet Child 's currently available items. I asked her if I could borrow the idea, and she said I could, so no one can say I'm copying or stealing! The rules are simple: Everything must be brand, a well known Japanese brand, to be more specific. I must do the coord head to toe, excluding jewelry/accessories other than a head bow, and no petticoat since Closet Child doesn't have those Everything must be available for purchase as of the day I'm posting (on Closet Child) I have to do this as cheaply as possible (and the prices are in yen) Sweet Lolita Coord Sweet Lolita Coordinate Item Price Link BTSSB JSK 5940 here META blouse 3800 here BTSSB bow 1346 here AP OTKs 1980 here META shoes 4950 here Total 18016   So the che...

Learning

Hello friends, affiliates, and otherwise. Today's post is going to be a tad bit more serious. I want to talk about the newcomers to the fashion, coming from a newcomer's perspective. In the past two weeks, I have made mistake after mistake, whether I was being a little too immature or annoying on discord, or I posted a question on Rufflechat and wasn't prepared for the comments, or I let my limited knowledge of the fashion disguise itself as more info than it was. I have let myself get cocky and I shouldn't have. If you are in the same boat as me, where you are both young in age and experience, then I hope to be able to help you as well as myself by writing this. My number one piece of advice is don't post or write anything you aren't able to handle harsh comments on. Just because Closet of Frills says constructive  criticism doesn't mean everyone on there knows how to be constructive. You will maybe write a comment and get beat down on...

Angelic Pretty's 50s Obsession

Image
Angelic Pretty, We need to talk. Alright, I'm sure this needs minimal introduction. Angelic Pretty has recently had a thing for that 50s diner aesthetic- and it came out of nowhere. What build up from past prints did we have that  foretold the Baltimore we're in now? I mean, someone's been sniffing too much Ultra Clutch hairspray, surely. Angelic Pretty, with no warning, released their Milkshake collection, and their Neon Diner is on its way. Here we see the Milkshake OP in pink. Cute, sure. Not lolita. Even as a newcomer to this fashion, the number one thing that defines lolita is the silhouette. Thats the reason petticoats have become so important. And thats the one thing this OP doesn't have. I'm not mad, don't get me wrong, its just. Disappointing? Coming into this fashion, you hear all about how great AP is and whatnot, and this defies everything I've been told. This is the Neon Diner JSK in blue. This is much better, with an actual...

Dream Dresses

Image
Hello Again! Yeah, its me. Again. I hope nobody minds how often I'm currently blogging; my  subconscious is probably trying to make up for future time not posting. Anywho, the current topic is dream dresses. You know 'em. You love 'em. And you'd sell your kidneys to have 'em. I'm going to be talking (writing?) about my current Dream Dress tier wants and gushing about them. Dream Dress #1 War of Thrones JSK II (Magic Tea Party) God this dress is gorgeous! I mean, just look at it! There are rabbits! IN BATTLE ARMOR!! Like, how can you not love that? It's slight Alice in Wonderland aesthetic makes this dress all the better, and without being cosplay-y. This color way is my favorite of the three, the red coming in second. I think the sax color way doesn't fit with the gothic/classic print, but damn does this dress just look good. I'm very happy because its also going to be my first dress! Mom bought it for me, and its hopefully on its ...
