Desucon Frostbite

Hi,

I wrote this post a week ago, and then my Internet connection disappeared and I lost the whole post... Oh well. I was there and it was really fun. That's pretty much it ^^; I was going to cosplay on Saturday but I managed to forget my wig home, so no cosplay. At least it's ready for the next convention so I don't have to spend the previous night finishing it as I usually do :p

Here is my outfit:

skirt: Dream of Lolita
blouse, tights: random
shoes: Bodyline
hairbows: Classical Puppets
pearls: Ninja
wig: Gothic Lolita Wigs

One always looks so fresh and unshiny after a whole day in a convention...

I also had matching nails with yellow, light purple, mint and pink stripes but I forgot to take pictures. Of course.

On Saturday I had light pink contact lenses because I had put them on for the cosplay and didn't want to remove them after putting on my make up. And I fell in love with them so much!!

I usually have Saaga with me, but this time I took Yuki, because my friends Hannele and Christina also had their Senior Delf -girls with them so we matched ^^ Yuki's outfit is completely made by me.




















Next time, a hair style posting ^^

Breaking Dawn

Hi!

I went to watch Breaking Dawn with my friends (I won't even bother to tell in how many ways it was a lousy movie) and I wanted to wear my Milky Planet ^^ This is yet another casual coordinate, but I prefer oversweet prints with everything else toned down.

skirt: Dream of Lolita
cutsew, tights: H&M
shoes: YesStyle
pearls: Ninja
hair bow: Classical Puppets

Outfits and nails

Hi!

I was planning on making a little chance on Rose Tea Sugar: to post pictures about non-lolita outfits too. Not too often, but sometimes I wear something I think might be interesting enought to share.

 Here's my Tuesday's school outfit. On Tuesdays and Fridays I go to Technical University for my Japanese lessons. It's extremely fun to wear something colourful and make all those boys-wearing-black-hoods go blind by all the colours ^^

One of my favourite aspect of Bodyline's skirts is the removable bow. I think it's supposed to be worn on the waist but I prefer to put it on my hair or even use it as a brooch.

This outfit I wore on Monday but I didn't have the time to take a photo so I took this one on Tuesday too. Luckily I wore my hair the same way both days.

I'm totally in love with this huge cutsew/t-shirt. I paid 2€ for it and it's size 42, hehe. I think it looks great when combined with skinny jeans like in this picture, or with a short skirt like this - I own a skirt like that too.

I also made my nails yesterday (ignore my ugly cuticles...) I got inspired by this post at Cupcake's Clothes, it was highlighted at F Yeah Lolita a while ago. I had some difficulties, like the lack of colours - the only non-seethrough colour is mint, blue and pink needed a white base to have any colour at all and I had to mix white and dark purple to get light one. But I'm quite happy with the result ^^

And lastly, I finally ordered some clothes and shoes from TaoBao. I've been planning to do so for a while now and finally did! I'll post a review when I get them.

Tracon

Hi!

Umm, this is a little late, ehehe ^^; But anyway:

 The picture quality isn't the best as we totally forgot about the pictures until it was too late so the light was lousy. Sorry ^^;

Here's my outfit for Saturday. A classic coordinate with a hint of steampunk. I was going to make a gearwheel print for the white skirt, I had it all planned and ready in my computer but I could find an ink printer anywhere! Only laser printers... So no gearwheels.

 ...I did draw some on the corner of my eye, though. I love the jacket, it is from Lindex but for this coord it's absolutely perfect. On the hat, there's a big bow made of satin ribbon, some hat lace and an ostrich feather. I love ostrich feathers <3

 My outfit for Sunday. This one was quite simple, but OTT still isn't my thing. I love the old-fashioned way when it comes to the amount of accessories (though OTT is fun too). I rather go over the top with my hair (I love GothicLolitaWigs!) and the amount of fabric (the hem is six meters!)

 Another picture, just because the light was beautiful <3

And the a totally random picture that's got nothing to do with anything.





















And that's it for the photoes. I did take a lot at the lolita fashion show (loved that, by the way), but I had to zoom in a lot, light was bad and flash didn't reach the stage, so they didn't turn out well at all.

I also got an invitation to visit Crème de la Garderobe, a lolita fashion market on November. I really want to go, hopefully I have time for that!

Yesterday's look

 Hi! Here's another casual coordinate. I wanted to use all the pastel colours from the print to make it as sweet as possible ^^

Here's a close-up of the brooch - the same I wore for the concert.


















That's all this time!

Arboretum photoes

Hello!

Here are the photoes from the Extreme Edges -meet up. Photo credits to SilkSucre.

And when we were just about to leave, the wind started. Really, it was hard not to fall down! But the meet up was great <3

Giselle

Gackt!

Hello!

On Tuesday I travelled to Sweden to see Gackt's concert!! I've always liked Gackt, but never been a huge fan. My boyfriend's been his loyal fan since, hmm, forever so I took the chance and went with him. I'm so happy I did, as it was totally awesome.

Gackt <3

He's so cute <3 (Not to mention the "I'll remove my shirt and hey, maybe even my pants...!!" -part. Well, he also has a great body :p)

<3 <3 <3

/end of fangirl-mode.

I wore lolis, this is how I looked like. (I had to remove the not-so-pretty background.)

The picture isn't the best quality: my boyfriend is great but taking photoes isn't one of his strong points. The print is actually a lot bolder, the dark pink parts are exactly the same colour as my top. The brooch is quite similar to the candy jewellery I made for my mint x pink -coord for Desucon, it's actually made at the same time. The skirt is from Bodyline, I got it on April but I had to change it a little and I didn't have the time to finish it until now.

For the longest time I've had troubles with making pretty, lasting curls. Either they don't curl at all or they'll be flat in a minute. This time I managed, though, these made it through the whole concert! A tiara has been on my wish list since I first started wearing lolita and now I finally got one!

I would have loved pink shoes for this, but I don't have any. They are the next thing to buy. I think I'll try TaoBao, someone recommended a good shopping service.

Here's a close-up. This print is absolutely lovely, maybe the best from BL. Originally I don't like black but for casual coords it's the best as it tones down even the sweetest prints. Imagine this one with mint instead of black - makes my teeth ache from all that sugarness. Not that it would be a bad thing, though, just not so casual :D

Curls!!























I think that my meetup photoes can be saved, so I'll probably post some of them in a few day's time. See you then!

Picture post

Whoa, it's been a busy month... Including an meet-up and a convention, here are some pictures from my Animecon outfits.

My outfit for Friday, a quite simple one. A pink skirt, blouse and my Wavy Mint wig.

 Here's Saturday's outfit, a more classic one. As you might notice, it's inspired by Mary Magdalene, it's also almost exactly the same with the green one I'm wearing on my first blog post. Mint Chocolate is one of my favourite colour combos <3

 A close-up of my face. I love this wig to pieces, it looks so natural.

Here's Sunday's dress. The Carnival Wappen -replica I wore on my birthday, this time combined with a brown bob. I really like the bob with this one, it gives the dress a hint of classic style but is still very sweet.

















It seems that all my pictures from the meet-up have been damaged somehow :( I'll try to look for them again and post some of them later.

That's all for now!

Desucon

Long time no see,

I've been busy making my outfits for Desucon, which was held this weekend. I had great time! There were lots of other lolitas, everyone was very pretty. Here are my outfits:

My dress for Saturday, pale pink JSK and white blouse, with mint coloured shoes and wig. I wore three petticoats! I was twinning with my Saaga, it was fun - although not actually the easiest thing... It was rainy and gray on the first day and the dark background made it hard to get a picture where one can see something else than a huge shining poof. I'll try to find a better picture when they start appearing in the Internet.

A close-up of my jewellery: a headdress and a brooch. I also wore earrings and for an upcoming meet up I made a small hairbow, another brooch and a ring (the theme is "Extreme Edges"... :D)

Saaga. I'm so happy that I can make her cute clothes!

This is what I wore today. A-kind-of replica of AP's Marionette Girl. This isn't the best dress I've made... I feel like I've wronged the original one. Maybe I'll remake this later on. Today was very bright and sunny and it was hard to keep my eyes open. The dress doesn't look like it, but it's pale blue :p Actual colour can be seen below, on Saaga.

I liked the headdress, though. I often seem to go way over the top with these, don't you think? :D

Saaga, wearing Marionette Girl. The hem is too short for her; luckily the stripe socks trick one's eye enough so it isn't very obvious.





















Now Desucon is over and Animecon is in four weeks! I have to start making my dresses for that. Plans, plans...

Wavy mint

Yay, my new wig arrived! I love it so much, the colour is just gorgeous. I had to wear a matching outfit immediately. The clothes aren't anything new, this was just something to match the wig:

 The wig is Wavy Mint from Cosplay Wigs USA / Gothic Lolita Wigs. I totally adore their wigs, my choco-latte is from them too. The only problem with their wigs is the colour range - most of their colours are very warm whereas my face requires cold tones. I'd love to have their Light Blonde Hime Gyaru, but the blonde they use is too golden, so it looks horrible on me. Maybe I'll get a custom one with platinum blonde...

 A close-up. The colour is a very pretty and a little bit see-through, it's like water. The fiber is very soft and non-shiny and as I've mentioned before, it's heat-resisting so it can be styled with heat.

Without the clip-ons: still very full and pretty. In this picture, it's unstyled but I might backcomb it a bit and maybe make low pigtails or make a soft bun. I love mixing up sweet and classic - this wig is perfect for that as it can be styled to be very classic even though the colour is definitely nothing but.















I'll wear this wig to Desucon on June, I think I'm going to make some kind of pink-white-mint -coordination (oh so original :D), probably this jsk I talked about earlier, with cupcakes and other sweets as decorations. We'll see ;)

The picnic

So!

Here is it, quite a lot of pictures from the picnic!

My outfit, the Carnival Wappen -replica. (It's not an exact replica, though, as you can see.) I remember mentioning something about head-eating bows a while ago, but oh well... :D

A little closer look. The light was bad, sorry.

Another close up. I really like the lace I got for the collar of the blouse, and it wasn't even expensive!

The Candy Heads, me and Hannele. Our wigs make a perfect couple :D It was really, really windy so they aren't as perfectly arranged as they were when we first got out...

This is us!!

...really, no. This is us, but for some reasons, about half of the pictures were like the one above. And The Ugly Door Strikes Back! The panel isn't big enough to hide all unphotographic backgrounds and there was no stand for the camera outside (besides it was quite freezing).

 We had cake, sandwiches, salty cupcakes, meringues, tea and strawberry juice (I happened to forgot to bring sugar so we didn't drink any tea though :D) I love my thermos bottles, I have two similar ones. One of them I found in second hand store in Jyväskylä, the other one I got from my mother who had found it in some flea market and got it for me. They don't look like they can be used for real but the tea was still almost boiling hot after we got back.

All in all, we had lots of fun even though it was quite cold. I got a super cute hairbow, two pairs of earrings, body silhouette notebook for planning new outfits and a lovely ballpoint pen. Afterwards we watched the Eurovision song contest and hated most of the winners like always :D So it was a day well used <3

As I told, I visited Rome last week. The trip wasn't lolitaish in any way so I'm not going to talk about it. But I got something from there that's surely going to be very lolita in the near future. I love the idea and try to keep it secret until it's ready ;) And there's also another secret coming!

See you soon,

1st of May vol. 2

Hi!

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been awfully busy this week as I had a huuuge exam yesterday and I've studied night and day for it. But here are some pictures from last weekend:

My outfit on 1st of May

My nails matched with my skirt! I glued on some tiny fake fruit slices.

On 30th of April, wearing the Ugly Student Overalls not showing in the picture.

I also received the wig I ordered from eBay a while ago. I'll post pictures soon!

Spring meet up

Hi!

Yesterday I participated in a spring meet up! I had so much fun again and everybody was very pretty <3 First we took photoes - the weather was so lovely and sunny - and then went to a cafe.

As I was very busy, I had no time to make new outfit. I decided to try on my music notes skirt from Bodyline. I mentioned before that the bright white in the print is a trouble for me and it really was so. I had no coat, no bag and no shoes for a bright white and baby blue coordination. Next time I surely have more time to make a proper coordination!

Here's my outfit:

(My nose isn't that big!!)

Skirt is from Bodyline, everything else is Totally Random. I changed shoes before leaving because those gray ones have 13cm heels and we were supposed to walk a lot. Well, we did so it was a good decision :D

Something else too: I ordered lots of lace from Etsy. Some of them are for lolita clothing and some for doll clothes. This was my favourite:

I ordered the ivory one. This should be perfect for skirt hems :)

See you soon,
Giselle
