Gallery Meet

The other day I caught up with my Lolita community at the Art Gallery of NSW. It has been a very long time since I have made it to a Lolita Meet. I barely know the girls in my community and it had been more than a year since I last made it to a meet. I only managed to make it to a quick lunch time gathering the previous year and I've been to the Misako Tea Party. So therefore I was still quite shy and awkward.

My boyfriend came along to the meet with me which made me feel a lot better. I have to travel quite a way to get to my community and I get lost easily, so going alone was just not an option for me. I'm glad he is more than happy to come along to events like this with me.

We went to an art gallery which was a lot of fun. The art was really nice to look at, and there was a painting by Monet which was by far my favourite. It was my second time going to this gallery and it was so much more fun going with a big group of Lolita's. The exhibition we saw was called the 'The Greats: masterpieces from the National Galleries of Scotland', and all the art was gorgeous.

There were a lot of girls who showed up late, so we ended up spending quite a time in the gallery, allowing everyone to look properly at the art. So I ended up socialising and meeting a lot of interesting people. I gushed over everyone's coordinates, as everyone looked so beautiful.

I met quite a lot of interesting people and I hope I can form friendships form this community. I bonded with a girl over Hello Kitty after I announced her Hello Kitty backpack was super cute, she then continued to show me every Hello Kitty item within. I received many friend requests on Facebook after the meet and I had sent some myself to the girls that I met.

Overall it was an amazing experience and I am hoping to make it to more frequent meets. It was a super exhausting day with the travel and being on my feet all day. We went to the art gallery and then walked out to have lunch. Afterwards many left to go home or went on their own way, so my boyfriend and I decided to hit up Kinokuniya since we were out in Sydney.

I made some friends. I loved their coordinates so I asked for a photo.

Angelic Pretty 3 Way Bag Book Review

Well I've always wanted to own something brand, yet just didn't have the money. However a nice opportunity presented itself to me, allowing me to get myself my first brand item. I went away for two nights and three days with my boyfriend, to relax and celebrate finishing school. We went to Kinokuniya to pick up some books whilst we were out shopping, so I grabbed two cute Japanese Sanrio children's books to practice my Japanese reading fluency (self taught and suck at it). Whilst waiting in the checkout to buy my over priced picture books, I found an Angelic Pretty bag staring down at me for only $50AUD. I had saved up a lot of spending money for my getaway, and just couldn't resist.

Overall I am very happy with this bag, I love how versatile it is and despite being quite small looking it is very roomy. I believe I will get a lot of use out of this bag, both in and out of Lolita. I'm also planning to use it as a backpack when I start University next year.

SMASH 2015

Supanova Sydney, 2015

Once again I attended Supanova Pop Culture Convention. I wore the same dress I wore last year to this event, as I had a hat I desperately wanted to coordinate with it (plus it was freezing and I wanted to keep my head warm). I think my coordinate turned out pretty well, considering I threw it together quite literally a day before the convention, due to lack of free time.

Supanova became even more of a special event, as it fell on the date of my boyfriends birthday this year. This was the first time to celebrate his birthday together as a couple. As of this post we have been dating for more than seven months, and I was so glad I could spend this event together with him.

Overall I had a fantastic day. Unfortunately I didn't run into many Lolita's like I had hoped, or anyone I knew for that matter (minus some school friends). I spent the day mainly looking around, talking and taking pictures with cosplayers. 

Also to be honest with you, I spent all my savings on the first stall. Remember last years SMASH? Yeah last year I discovered the new indie brand Magic Cats Street...well I spent the only savings I had on a blouse from this brand. I needed some more blouses though, and I couldn't resist checking out this store first. Glad I did though, as it was a purchase well spent.

Bodyline Review

 I got my other two Bodyline packages a couple of weeks after the last package...I just neglected to post for a variety of reasons. I'm a super busy gal (and also super lazy), but I will try my best to fit more time into blogging.

I had thought that my packages would come in order, but they did not. I first of all got the shoes delivered to me, which I ordered quite a while after everything else, than my other package came a few days later.

I ordered in the first package five pairs of stockings, a coat, a dress and a pair of bloomers, The other package was two pairs of tea parties. I ordered Bodyline L031 in purple, Bodyline H005 in off white (cream) and Bodyline PAN028 in black. As for the shoes I ordered SHOES256 in both black and pink.

Overall I'm rather happy with my order. The stockings are all good quality especially for their price of USD$3. The bloomers are quite nice, and are really light and airy. I think they will also make great pajama shorts for Summer as well. The coat is really good quality, and looks absolutely adorable. I love all the bows and the cute little pom poms on the pockets. The coat has lining and seems to sit nicely with a petticoat underneath, The coat will need a good iron before I wear it next Winter, but for now it will just sit in the cupboard.


The coat is a little thin, and wouldn't provide that much warmth. It should be fine for me if I wear rather warm clothes underneath, and seems like it will do the trick for the Australian Winter. If you however live in a really cold climate, you may not want to buy this coat to survive the Winter, but rather maybe use it for Fall instead.

The coat with nothing but a petticoat underneath

The dress I received is super pretty, and it fits surprisingly well. My only concern when I got it, was that it looked more brown than purple. I can somewhat see how it is a purple dress in a way, but they could have chosen a prettier shade don't you think? Oh well, it has polka dots on it (who doesn't love polka dots).

I wore the dress to anime club after I had received it, and to International Lolita Day. It's quite comfortable, and a decent dress for Summer....it's just really hard to coordinate though.

International Lolita Day was a really hot day

The tea parties are also quite good...yet they don't fit. I went off Bodyline's shoe sizing chart, and obviously that was wrong. I think I need half a size or a whole size smaller next time I buy their shoes. By adding in some comfort gel things onto the heels they fit slightly better, and they don't move around too much with all the buckles done up thank goodness. Other than the size issue, I am quite happy with them. The colours are adorable, and I love how they are made. My favourite thing about them, is the press studs on the shoes. Once you have the buckles done up to how you desire, you no longer need to use them. Just click and un-clip the shoes using the press studs to get them on and off.

Overall I think I'd give about a 7 or an 8 out of ten for my order. As although they aren't perfect, I am pretty damn happy with what I received for such a small price.

Bodyline Review

Who could honestly resist the free shipping and all the cheap prices on Bodyline...honestly who could? Of course I had to go ahead and buy heaps of things from Bodyline while I could still get amazing bargains. I bought three separate orders, and have been waiting for what feels like forever to get all my stuff.

I finally got my first package delivered this afternoon, and I almost squealed in delight at the excitement. I ordered Bodyline Skirt L401, a pair of socks, and these wrist cuffs.

My skirt in an idea for a casual coord

I am extremely happy with the skirt, it's amazing quality and the print is so cute. It's slightly lose on me and I feel like it could do with a much bigger petticoat than what I own, but this is just me nit picking rather than complaining. The skirt overall was priced at US$16 when I bought it, and was of course cheaper after doing the yen trick. This you can agree is an amazing bargain, overall I'm extremely pleased.

socks and wrist cuffs

My only complaint is that it is not the colour I wanted. I wanted to buy the skirt in light pink, and even bought wrist cuffs to match with it. I'm not sure if I bought the wrong colour by mistake, or if
there has been a slight mishap somewhere along the line. It's more likely my own fault as I was a little confused when trying to pick the colour. I clicked the same letters that were on the light pink skirt though, so I don't know what's happened there.

The wrist cuffs are extremely nice, and I'm really happy with them as my first pair of wrist cuffs. The lace quality is nice, and the pearls are a pretty touch. Of course just like the skirt, the wrist cuffs are slightly lose on me as I'm a tiny little thing with little wrists as well as a tiny little waist. I might go and buy myself a black and white pair to go with one of my other dresses next time I make an order, as I'm extremely pleased with the quality. Although they aren't the same shade of pink as my skirt, I'm sure they'll still do fine. The tea parties I ordered are also light pink, so I'm hoping that'll tie the whole outfit in.

The knee high socks I ordered were just as I expected for the price. The socks themselves are made out of pretty decent cotton, but the lace is pretty cheap and it has crappy satin ribbons. The lace itself isn't too bad and it isn't exactly noticeable. Although one of the ribbons on the socks doesn't sit right, and it really annoys me. I'm wondering if I can somehow take them off without ruining the entire sock.

All in all I'm pleased with my order. Everyone know's Bodyline isn't perfect, especially in the Lolita Fashion scene, but you get what you pay for. I think I've managed to pick up some great bargains that will work great in casual outfits. Overall I give my order a 6/10, and I cannot wait to see what my next package brings.

Outfit of the Day!

This is what I wore yesterday to the anime club that I attend. I was going to post last night, but I felt too tired and ended up just Facebooking some friends before going to sleep.

The dress is from indie brand Magic Cats Street. I didn't bother with wearing the matching bolero as I was expecting to feel overheated in the dress like I was the last time I wore it (although that was not the case this time around). I also felt like I wanted to show off the detail of the dress by not covering it up. I'm wearing purple stockings with it, in order to help with the modesty element. I'm also wearing the matching ribbon belt with it, and have it tied in a bow at the back. My hair is done up in a nice little bun, the hair left out has been curled, and I'm wearing a black bow. As for shoes I just wore a simple pair of black heels that I recently bought.

I felt a bit too dressed up for anime club in this outfit compared to other Lolita outfits I generally wear. I felt incredibly happy and pretty though, and that's all that really matters in the end. I got quite a few compliments from nice friends who liked my outfit, and I had an amazing night overall.

At the moment I am awaiting my Bodyline order. As some of you may know already, things over at Bodyline at the moment are crazy cheap...and better yet there's free shipping. I ended up getting three separate orders, as each time I got paid I wanted to buy more stuff. The first order I got a skirt, socks and some matching wrist cuffs. Second order I bought myself a new dress, a coat, about 5 pairs of stockings and a cute pair of bloomers. And for the third order I finally decided to get myself some tea parties, which I am so excited for. I got myself a pink and a black pair, and I'm hoping so badly that they fit perfectly. I am sowly dying waiting for my orders, and really hope they get here as soon as possible. I'll definitely review everything for you guys once I receive my stuff.
