Birthday Week and Mystery Garden Review

On Monday the 17th of February I turned seventeen. I had an amazing week overall and I had received so many amazing presents from my friends and family. My mother and father gave me a Lolita dress from the Indie brand Mystery Garden, a pair of earrings, Royal Albert Mugs, a dark red cardigan, and a Peter Alexander Nightie. My grandparents gave me a Hello Kitty bedspread with a matching pillow and another Royal Albert Tea cup. My close friend Kess gave me a black parasol.

All of my gifts were very thoughtful and I was extremely happy with the entire week. On the Monday I had Kess and my grandparents over for dinner to celebrate, the Wednesday I wore my dress to anime club and today I went to a High Tea with my mother in celebration.

Mystery Garden Review

After an amazing week, and wearing this dress three different times you can see how easy it is to coordinate. It is quite simple and plain, but can be done up quite well with enough creativity. It's a dress that can look quite elegant, and would probably also look great in a casual Lolita coordinate. It's so simple and versatile, and that's exactly what I love about this dress. 

With a detachable waist bow you can easily make the dress have a simpler look. It is also made out of great material and feels really soft. I love how it fits me, and I love the entire design overall.

It is a dress that you could easily do up in so many ways. The amount of possibilities with this dress is almost endless because of how simple it is, and I think that's the charm of the dress.

Overall I am extremely happy.

9.5/10 for my review

Misako Tea Party

Well before I jump right into the deep end and tell you all about the title...*ahem* I am sorry for leaving the blog and not posting. I have no reasonable excuse or lie to tell you, I just got extremely lazy. I will attempt to actually post again from now on.

Now that is all cleared up...

Yesterday I went to a Lolita High Tea. After weeks worth of excitement and waiting, and a long eventful trip...I finally had the amazing opportunity....the opportunity of seeing Misako in person.

This wasn't just any normal meet up, not only was it the very first one for me, it was a chance to meet Misako...here in Australia! Misako Aoki, model and Kawaii Ambassador...what Lolita wouldn't love this opportunity?

It is a about two hours by train to Sydney from where I live, so we broke the trip up and went half way by car and half way by train in order to shorten the journey. Although in retrospect I didn't even travel very far, there were Lolita's there at the High Tea from all over.

I was bored and excited so took selfies in the car ^^'

I was rather nervous at first, as this was of course my first meetup. However my nerves soon settled down in no time as I realised how friendly everyone was. I talked to a lot of different people, made friends and had a lot of fun. Words just can not describe what an opportunity this was for me. Seeing so many different Lolita's packed into one room was just mind blowing, and having the chance to see Misako...it was just...just...I can't even put it into words...

Following are the pictures I have taken from the event. I felt very under dressed compared to all the other Lolita's, as I am an off brand casual Lolita. It made me a little sad as everyone else looked so pretty, but I'll get there one day.

The food was downright amazing 

The scones and that strawberry cake thing was the best

Misako >.<

We all laughed when she was given a stuffed Kola

She was give a card with all our names in it.
We each wrote a different message for her and
we put little hearts on the Australian map to
show where we were from.

The Yen ring I won and the cards she gave everyone

Here's the group shot which I took off Misako's Twitter
