Double Mannequin Snap! Bordeaux & Blue

I was changing the outfits on both my mannequins today and accidentally ended up with a pair that reminds me of older-sister-younger-sister themed outfits!


I actually just wanted to come up with coordinates for some stuff I'm thinking of selling, and the end effect was rather cute together. I wish the blue outfit was in pink, so it'd look even more big-sister-little-sister-pair, but as it is, the two outfits together kind of remind me of Margaret and Alice.

Parasol: BtSSB
Shoes: LK Bennett
Bag: Chanel
Tights: Offbrand

Outfit Snap: Lolita Meet-Up! Mori-Classic-Country Lolita Outfit

I finally had a chance to go to another lolita meet-up today!

I really wanted to wear a print, but for some reason my new scarf and blouse just kept floating about in my mind, and all other outfits I put together seemed to look awful during my outfit test-run. So I wore something plain-ish instead :D


The idea was to match the outfit to the scarf, and I just happened to have bought a new lacy green blouse that matched the leaves really well. Innocent World's Eleonore JSK also looked really good with the blouse, and the dark brown ribbon on the dress was to highlight the dark colours on the shawl. Since some of the birds have pink on them, I decided to accessorize with a hint of pink too.

I spent most of my time wrapped up in the shawl like the photo above, but here's a photo of the details under the shawl:


I had a facial earlier in the morning, so I packed all my things into this cute luggage that matches the outfit and theme! I think it looks really cute together!

The meet-up was really fun! JL couldn't make it in the end, but I got to see Aiko and Iris again :D I also met many new friends, and I can't wait to go out with them again in lolita! There weren't many of us in classic lolita (at the time when I left, there were four of us, out of a total of 16-17 girls!) but everyone looked gorgeous anyway ^_^

I did end up leaving one of the earliest (we had only played one game at that time!) but at least we managed to get group shots ^^;;; I forgot my camera at home and my phone's camera doesn't work half the time, so I'm afraid I don't have any photos... Will definitely have to pull a few from Facebook later! XD

Alright, heading out for dinner. Thanks for reading!

Mannequin Snap: Black & Pearls Classic Lolita

I went shopping at a wholesaler’s mall today, and came home with loads of stuff! One of my purchases was a new mannequin, and I just had to dress her up right away!






The cutsew is also new, purchased at the mall for RM15 (USD5). The pearls were just calling to me! I couldn’t help but come up with a pearl-themed outfit. And the cutsew matches the skirt so well!

I couldn't decide on a pair of socks for the outfit, so I went with one of my new pairs of tights, which has some pretty words printed on it. I think it'll probably be hidden by the skirt once I put the outfit on, but it still sounds like a nice romantic idea :)

I think my favourite part about this outfit is that it sticks to my favourite "three must-haves" in any outfit, yet still looks relatively subdued. Though, I suppose it still does look rather extravagant for a casual outfit hahaha. (In case you're wondering, the three must-haves are lace, roses and pearls ^_^)

Outfit Snap: Comic Fiesta 2012 - Non-Lolita Coordinate & New Wig!

Went to Comic Fiesta 2012! Was only in the hall for like 30mins hahaha. Too crowded, too hot, too noisy! ^^;;; Now I remember the reason why I usually go on the 2nd day instead of the first!

But I still got dressed up anyway haha. Here's a photo!


I'm very happy with this outfit - it has four of my lolita dream items (dress, bolero, bag, shoes) in it, and it still makes a pretty great casual piece! The bolero, bag and shoes are piecs that my classic wardrobe never felt somewhat complete without, and the dress is very special to me as it is the dress that pulled me back into the lolita world and encouraged me to start buying dresses after admiring the fashion from afar after 8 years.

The wig is also a new purchase that I'm very excited about! I used to have short hair like this when I was in high school, and though I've been wanting to sport a short hairstyle for a while now, I'm still rather reluctant to actually cut my nice waist-length hair. The best solution? Wigs!

Of course, I first had to hunt down a wig in a style that I actually like. Just so happens that this one Gabalnara wig matched what I wanted, so I bought my first "branded" wig.

As someone who usually buys wigs from random TaoBao cosplay shops and other wig stores around town, let me tell you that there's a reason why these "branded" wigs are so much more expensive.

For one thing, though many people claim very thick wigs are the best, I find that I generally prefer a more natural thickness that ends up looking pretty full over your own hair, yet not unnaturally bushy like some thick wigs can look. Also, the fibers are much softer and silkier, and very easy to style and comb.

But the best part is just how comfortable the wig is! In fact, it was so comfortable after I put it on that I completely forgot to secure the wig with additional hairpins! And guess what - the wig actually stayed on my head on its own for 10hours, without needing any adjustments at all the whole time! Even better was that I didn't get any headaches from the wig, which some TaoBao brand wigs tend to do.

I think I'm never going back to wearing those TaoBao wigs again... Time for another round of closet cleaning ^^;; I think I need more of these Gabalnara wigs haha! Maybe I can finally get a decent blond one there?

Goodnight, peeps!

Mannequin Snap: Blue & Brown Casual Outfit

This outfit has been on here for ages! I haven't quite completed it to my full liking yet (though I actually already love it as it is haha... it just feels incomplete!) but I figured it's time I took it off the mannequin and let the clothes have some rest away from the constant light.

So here's a snap of the outfit before I start planning the next outfit to throw on Manny!


The hat was kind of an accident - I didn't have a place to keep this newly arrived hat, so I tossed it on the mannequin... and suddenly my incomplete outfit looked rather elegant! Just tossed some matching roses onto the brim, then add in matching bag and shoes, and voila! An almost complete outfit :D

Now, if only I can figure out what seems to be missing....

Blouse, Skirt, Bag: Innocent World
Hat: Juliette et Justine
Roses, necklace: Offbrand

Mannequin Snap: Viennese Waltz with Pink

I was getting a little bored with the other outfit on display, so I thought I'd change it.

I've been wearing Viennese Waltz in non-loli coordinates and I thought I ought to do proper justice to it this time. Here is the result!


This coordinate actually looks better in real life than in the photos XD;;; Somehow it looks really flat and messy and boring in the photo!

I tried to create something of a country-lolita-entering-autumn look, so I paired it with a slightly warmer-looking cutsew and OTK socks, but kept with the parasol and straw hat for the country lolita detail.

I really like it, but I need to find a better pair of shoes for it.

Loli-Inspired Coord: Brown & Coral

On Saturday morning, I had a bit of extra time while waiting to leave the house for a facial, so I went a little wild with my outfit coordinaton ^^;;;



I wanted to wear this IW skirt (Versailles Rose in Chocolate) because it's just too cute, but I wasn't really sure what colour to coordinate with it. I just jumped on the first cardigan I saw that looked good with the skirt haha. I really like this colour combination - looks really bright! The flowers on the skirt also echo the coral of the cardigan.

I'm also wearing a half-wig today :)

I had actually completely forgotten that it was International Lolita Day on Saturday! Such a nice coincidence that I happened to choose a loli-inspired outfit for it :)

After the amazingly hectic work schedule I had this past month, it was really nice to spend a day for myself - facial, lunch with a friend, shopping, a massage, then dinner with my family <3.

Mannequin Snap: Casual Blue Perfume

I've been dreaming of this coordinate since I got this skirt! Sure, it's with a different pair of shoes and a different bag from what I'd originally intended, but I think it still looks pretty good :)

I had planned to use a pair of Secret Shop navy blue shoes, but the order didn't go through, so I'm stuck without a proper pair of shoes for this outfit :/ So I tossed in a pair of pink ones instead to match the pinks in the skirt and socks!





I finally found the necklace that came with one of my previous Meta LPs! I'm using here with the super cute cutsew I'd received in another Meta LP ^_^
