Lolita meetup

Yesterday we had a little meetup in Szymbark in northern Poland. We were supposed to have a sleigh ride, a so-called kulig. Kulig is a traditional form of entertainment in which aristocrats would ride horse-pulled sleighs from manor to manor, and the host of every manor house would prepare some entertainment for the participants. Of course nowadays it's only a ride, as no one lives in manor houses anymore.

Our ambitious plans were destroyed by the weather. Not only it didn't snow - the ground was too damp to have a campfire. In the end we only had a short carriage ride through the forest and dinner in a local restaurant.

There were supposed to be eight of us but three girls didn't show up. One sprained her ankle but the other two girls didn't even let us know that they would not be coming. Not the the most polite thing to do if the price depends on the number of participants. 

Christmas

So I went back to Poland to spend two weeks of my Christmas break here.

This is my Christmas Eve outfit.

OP: Moi meme Moitie
necklace: Bijou Brigitte
shoes: nine west

I know that the shoes don't really match, but we don't wear shoes inside, and my best shoes are in Japan anyway, so I just put something on cause I looked silly without any.

I didn't wear a petticoat cause I look big enough in this dress even without one. I tried it on and it really didn't look good.

And this is my today's outfit.

JSK: Alice and the Pirates
blouse: random thing borrowed from my mum cause I don't have any lolita blouses here
hair accessory: handmade
tights: Leg Avenue
shoes: TUK

And that's all for now. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Little things

This post is about the little things I forgot to post before.

First outfit with my new dress

I met up with a friend today and we went shopping together.

This is the outfit that I'm still actually wearing.

OP & headband: Moi meme Moitie
gloves & choker: Bijou Brigitte
shoes: Bodyline

Lolita shopping and the new Moitie print

I went on a small shopping trip today to Marui One and Laforet. I had one main goal in mind and a few minor ones. Unfortunately, I spent too much money on the main one, so only one of my minor goals could be achieved.

This is what I wore:

blouse: Moitie
skirt: Metamorphose
everything else: random shops

Of course it's cold in December, so I wore my BPN coat. When I went into the BPN shop in Laforet the shop assistant had the most adorable reaction. She admired how I looked in the coat and thanked me profusely for shopping there XD

This time I didn't buy anything at BPN though. Instead I chose Moitie and Atelier Pierrot.
My main goal, the new Jewellery print onepiece in black:

I really liked the other colourways, too, especially green and red. However, I wasn't sure I liked the gold print. Of course it looks beautiful but it makes me think of Christmas so much that I don't think I would wear it in other seasons. If the print was silver (like on the black dress) or black I would have chosen the red dress.

I tried on the skirt too but the high waist seems to be cut a little strangely and it wasn't very flattering on me. The OP, however, fits like a dream.

And this is the minor goal of my shopping trip, an Atelier Pierrot blouse.

I had my eyes set on it for a while. I decided that if I have some money left by the end of the month I would buy it. I did have enough money, so now I'm its proud owner.

h.NAOTO Sweet Lolota Christmas Party

I went to this party feeling a little uncertain. I've never been to a brand organized party before. How will I talk to people when my Japanese is so poor? Will they look down on me for not wearing h.NAOTO from head to toes? Or just for being a foreigner? Will there be other foreigners there?

As it turned out, I had no reason to worry. It was a really fun event and I'm glad I went there and got to meet Hirooka Naoto himself.

At the party, right before leaving. My friend is wearing a full h.NAOTO outfit, but I'm only wearing one item by this brand.

We were supposed to bring small gifts and exchange them. This is what I got: a sheep-shaped hot water bottle XD It's so cute!

Some post-party purikura with kitzune from LiveJournal.

And finally some more-or-less clear outfit shots taken after I came back home.

Outfit rundown:
cutsaw: h.NAOTO Frill
skirt: Metamorphose
tights: Leg Avenue
shoes: Innocent World
hair accessory: handmade
necklace: I am

New items; Christmas and other randomness

Let me start chronologically.

1. Here are some small items I bought... well, a while ago.

A Shappo phone strap, Majolica Majorca eye pencil, Claire's hair pins and a barrette from Paris Kid's. The hair accessories were bought especially for the JeJ outfit I posted some days ago.

2. An h.NAOTO Frill cutsaw for a Christmas tea party at their shop.

3. A care package from my mum: a bag full of sweets and Inglot makeup. Right in time for St Nicholas' Day! I got it on December 6, in the morning. Perfect timing!

Triple brown eyeshadow set, purple nail polish, reddish nail polish, caramel coloured duo lip gloss and a black eye pencil. One can never have too many eye pencils. I use them up so quickly... 

4. Moitie items from Closet Child. A blouse for 5900 yen and a headdress for 1800 yen. Unfortunately the lace on the blouse turned out to be a completely different colour than the print on Silent Moon so I can't wear them together... Which also means that I have nothing to wear this blouse with.

5. Lastly, a Christmas gift I got today from my 9 year old student. It's a hair tie with a dusty pink flower.

Sito Magus live

Actually, it was a Lacriox Despheres shusai but to me Sito Magus stole the show.

I wore a very simple aristo outfit. The dress has a clean design but it always looks fancy anyway because it's so long and flowy. That's why I chose only a few small accessories and let the dress do all the work.

OP: Victorian Maiden
headband: Moi meme Moitie
shoes: Innocent World
jewellery: mostly Bijou Brigitte
