Ducks, the coming of a new autumn, and a new blog plan.

We had 12 ducks stop off on our lawn this afternoon! it made my year! they even ate out of my hand, and stuck around for a bit for a drink and something to eat. i hope they come back, we always have ducks on our lawn over the autumn, and its always my favourite bit of the year. we had to stop a car and shepherd them across the road and most of them flew off. good luck ducky-chans, come back soon~
heres a little picture of me sitting with them, they were very friendly and came right close when i offered food. (excuse the mini-shorts. it was hot and i was just lazing around home doing school work)

the mornings are cold now, and its as if the sky is changing from the vibrancy of summer to the muted blue-gray of winter (my favourite shade of blue). its such a nice feeling.

I'm going to be trying something new with this blog. updating whenever i want to share something, and treating it like a journal. i hope you enjoy the new approach.

Feeling the love for casual lolita

as a lifestyle lolita, i wear lolita all the time, and casual is my go-to style for day to day. it doesn't matter if my peti (a pinned up long skirt) has deflated over a few days, or my best blouse isn't clean and i have to wear a cutsew. i can wear it for school, work, and shopping. here a little info about this cuter style
casual lolita doesn't have such pressure for petticoats, you only need one or 2 deflated ones.
blouses can be swapped out for cute cutsews. i find i look better is cutsews.
angelic pretty is a  good inspiration. some of their new stuff is quite casual, with a definite fairy-kei style.
if your a gothic girl, this is a great chance to break out the bats and add a cute gothic looking t-shirt or coffin backpack.
classic girls can go for browns, maybe with a mori-girl vibe.
in short, casual lolita is a lot of fun

Gomenasai! also, outfit photo fun. dear lord i don't take any photos.

good golly i've been neglecting this blog. please say you'll forgive me! oh, you will? oh thank you!
This counts towards on of my school subjects so i will have to keep up the updates~
well, as this is a fashion blog, i might as well share a bit of my own style.

i wore this to the Christmas parade. 

This was my hatsune miku cosplay for the auckland cosplay picnic. the wig was a lot better quality than it looks here lol.

I love mixing things (i always have something mori-girl in all my outfits.) and i'm always changing the way i wear lolita. i promise a better update next week, (or later today. its very early) of a new experimental co-ords. stay tunned darlings!

lolita and conventions.

as in october i attended my first con as a lolita (i was aso cosplaying) i desided to put this post up.

what you will need:

a water bottle. metal ones keep their cool but the condensation will make bags wet, so wrap it in a plastic bag or something waterproof.

a small sewing kit. safty pins, and neadles threaded with black, white and the main colour of your outfit, some small sizzors

a fold-up umbrella. if the sun is pouring down on you, you will need a parasol and if it suddenly rains you don't want to get soaked and have to change huredly.

makeup. whatever you wear normaly + some extra consealer and deoderant.

a brush, comb and hair pinns. hair emergancys are better avoided. luckly i could borrow a (nice and clean) brush of someone i met their but i don't advise it.

snacks. packets of chips and crackers as well as meusli bars are perfect. DO NOT BUY CONVENTION FOOD. its way overpriced, and not worth buying.

at least one large bag for merch. one your can fold up would be perfect.

so this has been what you desperatly need to put in your handbag for con.
love,
Lizzy~

How to add otaku style to your lolita

sick of hiding you otaku self while wearing your frills? sick of not being able to show your otaku nature?well, its big sis lizzy here to help you
one: add pins, big buttons and things of your fave characters. i wear my pikachu pin with anything.
two: add a big satchel or back-pack.sometimes, a sweet little angelic pretty bag just doesn't hold enough to be useful. otaku-loli is all about being functional as well as kawaii. its also useful to hold a drink bottle, remember girls, a hydrated loli is a happy loli.
three: if you want the extra comfort,swap the blouse for a T-shirt. over a full skirt this looks very cute
 four:  why not swap uncomfortable shoes for a pair of converse? (by converse i mean canvas shoes)
this is all we have time for~
untill next time, loves and kittens!
lizzy-onee-sama~

I love this look. the simple colours, the addition of boy-style, (which i have always loved the same way i love gothic lolita) and how much it looks like the costume art of kuroshitsuji, which i love. this picture made me think, i love this look, how can i include this to my outfits? so i wrote a little list of things i want to do to add this stunning street-style  to my own clothes, without the alice and the pirates (whom these wonderful clothes are being sold by) price-tag. (which, as it is cosplay season, i can not afford)
1: mary janes with all the clothes!
2: strippy socks or stocking, but only in black and white.
3: bows in strippy ribbon

4: a little of the overdone. bows and pearls.
5: simple curls and delicate style.
well, its late and i am tired and have a busy day.
