Lolita shout out #20

So what am I going to talk about today?

Innocent world is having a sale on selected item and they have a couple of new stuff up for reservtions and thqat was when My eye caught the Michelle Bustier and Short. It's suppose to give a girl sort of a Ouji fell but when I look at it it reminds me of cigarette girl. You know those old fashion girls with a strap tray around their neck, filled with cigarettes and cigars who sold them to people during shows or in show rooms. I guess it's the mix og the little barette like hat, the color and the overall design of the bustier.

Angelic Pretty are releasing some very adorable stuff! It contains both umbrellas, purses bags and other stuf that is truely ment for a sweet lolita. Now, normally I don't cake much for sweet lolita, I don't hate it I just don't really care for it but still I sort of fell in love with several of their accessorie. I guees it's the bitter-sweet variety i love, the black with the sweet mixed together in what would make a lovely piece of filled chocolate, bitter yet sweet.

Alice and the Pirates has finally released their "Night Fairy Fantasia" print. As some of you may know this print is heavily inspired from the story about a boy who didn't want to grow up, that's right! Peter Pan. The print is amazing and I love the color spec in which you can choose you dress from. Their JSK I, for this print, is after my opinion not the best design I've seen from AATP since it looks sort of cheap and the design in itself is weird. The JSK II on the other hand is really beautiful and you can even get matching socks.

Lolita Shout Out #19

You can really feel that summer ins in the air now. Alot of the lolita brands as we know are starting to put out alot of floral prints, summer cuts in their clothig and sailor themed dresses.

Victorian maiden has two new dresses on the line right now that can both be used as a classic dress, and as cute sailor dresses. The classical marine puff-sleeve dress and classic marine tuck dress are both dresses that can be used fore MORE than just sailor. Bot have the trade of looking like any other sailor lolita dress, but if you coordinate them with the rigth type of accesories the you'll be able to really create many different types of outfits.

Bodyline is usually sort of a 50/50 chance to buy from. You never know if you'll get a really good looking piece of clothing with a fairly decent choise of fabric, or somthing that is horribly made and with fabrics that is mostly Ita lolta worthy. But you can at times be really lucky and prehaps get a dress like this one. The dress itself is really cute and I like that you are able to get it in a rather broad color selection. I will, however, say that the lacing in front looks weird. It almost looks like it has sort of a small bolero over it. Im not the least bit in doubt with that is you buy the dress and ad or remove some detailes from it you could actually end up with a decent sweet or gothic dress.

Alice and the Pirates have some really neta stuff on the website this time, or for me the always do haha. This time I will focus one a pair of shoes they are selling, the Sylphide shoes which comes in black, red, white brown and blue. I have a love for AATP's shoes since they are so diffenrent in the good kind of way than most lolita stores. I love how they are somewhat cure yet very grownup and regal.

Baby The Stars Shine Bright have this very different new dress called Ma Cherie jumper skirt which, compared to may other things seen at baby is in my eyes.... very simple. Almost too simple for baby's and by that I don't mean it's horrible og not worth the brand name (since brand it's norhing more than a name) but just that it seems weird to see a dress this simple comming from Baby.

Original Vs Replica

Isn't it funny how you sometimes as a kid felt REALLY special if you got a new toy, clothing or bike that nobody else had, and suddenly everyone were gathered around you in a circle in admiration, awe and at some point jealousy. Yes, we have all experienced that feeling and it was a pretty darn good feeling as a kid. But when you are a kid you don't really have focus on anyone other than yourself and I find it sad that this feeling seems to apply to some lolitas. I must admit I felt angry and disgusted over some lolitas who only buy certain rare prints just to be unique, special, one of a kind and the centre of everyone’s jealousy.

What I am talking about is how some lolita feel but-hurt over that their special rare print suddenly isn't special anymore, because someone casual "dared" to make a replica of a brand print. I'm talking about a link to a thread on EGL where one was thinking of making a Vampire Requiem replica and some of the girls couldn't stand the thought of it. Not because it would take money from the brand companies (yeah as IF) but because their special super-awesome-rare print would lose its WOW effect in the rest of the community. Maybe it's just me but I find that VERY childish and egocentric to actually have such a thought.

The dress is not suppose to be your ego boost that feast upon others admiration and frankly the dress is NOT suppose to be a way for you to crawl up the invisible lolita hierarchy. The dress is supposed to be special to you and if it loses its special something because a replica is made, then I honestly don't think you deserve it. The dress is suppose to be something YOU like, a dress you think is special not giving a hoot of what other people think. Aren’t we suppose to choose the lolita clothing we like based on the fact that we like the print and design above the possible credit we get for its rareness?

Also, why is it okay for some GL's that DOM makes sweet prints but as soon as they turn their gaze upon a Gothic print the GL's suddenly starts screaming in terror of the possible replicas of their favourite genre? Come on girls! Get into the wonderful world of lolita and be a little more open-minded when it comes to replicas. For some of us, like me, a replica is a wonderful way to gain a print I love and a dress i can fit, and not just sit in front of my computer screen, sighing because I can’t fit the brand. Give it a chance and live with it, for some of us this MIGHT be the only way we'll ever be able to fit into some dresses and on a last note...
Shouldn't it be the design and not the name that mattered?
What's your view on Replicas vs. Original?

Lolita Shout out #18

Hi guys, wow as you can see I've been bussy trying to complete my "30 days of Lolita" which I did! WOO and I feel it like some sort of an acomplishmen. Also alot of stuff has happened in my life last month. I've moved from Gardening Service to Jobteam, which is a team that is going to give my some "tools" to be able to hopefully find an internship. I've finally pulled myself together and been to the doctor to get some blod samples taken and some cell tissue. It's a offer that "Kræftens Bekæmpelse" (an orginazation that tries to focus on collecting money for battle against cacer and sharing information about it) where you as a youn woman can come in an get a free chance to see if you got cervical. They take a small cel sample from you uterus and see if there's any change i the cells. Itøs really nice they offer it to youn women so that if there IS some changes they can start treatment, og keep an eye out for it, at a early stage. I was also suppose to get some blood samples taken, and let me just say that I have a terrible fear of needles. Not the whole idea of getting medici shot into y body or blood taken from it, but the whole thought of the needel inside my arm just freaks me out. And I've been afraid of needles ever since I was very small which is werid cindering I've been to hospitals and doctors almost every damn week. I've always been a very weak kid, not in the pshycological sense but in the physical sense. I am from natures side born with an incomplete immunesystem which makes me prone to getting sick faster and I have a harder time getting over it again. But being used to getting samples from every time I was at the doctors place just have done annything for my fear agains needles, it stills thrives this day... But today was a HUGE personal conquest for me. For the first time in 24 years I wasn't afraid of getting pricked by a needle. It was a lot less painful as I remember it and I didn't eve contord once. Some of you may think that this is just me being a whiny little girl, but for m this was truely somthing big. But I'm done with the test and the answers will soon be send to me so I can see what they said. The blood samples was to see if I had less D-vitamin in my blood, to see if I were more prone to get thrombosis and to see if I had some Cholesterol in my blood. And to those of you who remeber me talking about my mom, she is felling way better now that ever. It seems like this operation actually helped her but she is still a little sceptical about the whole ordeal. I just hope that everything will turn out better this time. And today I will be updatig L.S.O, the reason to why I haven't be doing it lately is mostley because of the challenge, but also because I haven't really been able to find anything new in the lolita fashion world. But do not frown little ones, for I have found some nice new stuff for you all!

Metamorphose has released a new cute print! Yes I know this is sort of old news, but I still felt like sharring this with you. It's called fairy Tale Series. I've grown a certain fancy to the Fairy Tale Lace-up pinafore dress and actually both in balck AND white. The collection comes in three colors only. Lavender, off-white and black and the Lavender is sort of a darker lavender that what I usually see in lolita fashion.

Baby The Star Shine Bright is starting their cute summer collection with a lot of cute and very simple dresses. It's a good design they carry during the summer months since most lolita dresses are way to hot to wear. They seem to make their dresses less "flashy" and with fabrics that are ment to be worn during summer moths, without feeling you are wearing a lacy sauna. Amongst the dresses I would say that the Gingham Rumine JSK is a wonderfull summer dress and it can even be used for coutry lolita as well.

Innocent World hasen't been good at updatig their collection lately, and as I've said befor it's almost like they are in a sort of hiatus periode. They don't produce as much prints or designs as they used to and theyr dresses haven't really had the WOW-factor as their previous collections. I will draw my focus to one dress, the angel tired onpiece. Again this is old news or the dresses just get sold really quick because a lot of the things I see on their website tend to get sold withing a flash. But this dress is rather cute. It's subtle an yet it has a print that isn't overwhealming for the dress in general. The print is nice but prehaps a little boring compared to what we KNOW I.W is able to produce. Also I.W is selling some really great Lucky Packs. I love I.W's lucky packs since you tend to get a lot of stuff for your money. Alone their lucy pack B (which is the cheapest) contains way more than any other brand would fill their cheapest L.P's with. Take a look at them and If any of you order any of the pack please contact me I'm dying to know what they contain.
