Welcome New Year!

 I hope you all spent great holidays, as I did mine! I got to see my family and friends, and spend some quiet time resting and catching up on side projects. That would be decoden! Yes, I've finally put my order to use. I had work going on after I purchased from Fullmoon so I had to put things aside for a while. Actually, I also ordered a second time from Fullmoon during the holidays because my new project involved much, much more... I won't write another review, just know that the service was just as satisfying, and this time I received the parcel within 7 days. Here's the list of my purchase and photos:

I don't know of you can spy the red apple but it screamed of Applejack so I added it without any project in mind!I also really like the rhinestoned rose!

And at long last...my projects!!
I went just a little crazy with the caulk gun, I'll admit. I did start looking around my room, with my custom gun loaded, for anything that might be whipped-creamed. What I mean by custom gun is that instead of using a piping bag, I cut the tip of the silicon bottle in a star shape and used that directly. A lot less messy, but you need a sure aim; if your arm is wobbly or if it gets tired, the whole thing becomes a mess. I had to go through a few trials myself!

And the shoes! This was my top secret project. Alright, I'll own up: they did cost me a spectacular faceplant in the stret on the 31st, but it was really funny, even for myself. (I never wore heels this high before, but hopefully I'll get used to it because they are gorgeous!)

A few outfit posts which I've been too busy to post until now:

New Year's outfit

I would like to close this post with the usual new year speech. Last year has been great for me. Thanks to my studies I discovered so many new things and new people, all of which gave me confidence.  So wether I met them in real life or not ,whether they read this or not, I am very grateful to them. I certainly do have many concrete goals and aspirations for 2013, but I want to focus on doing my best everyday, little by little.

Happy New Year to you all, and all the best!

I went back to high school today! O.O  Thankfully it was only as an alumni, to speak to the current students about my studies ;) I felt like wearing kimokawa (which was probably more approachable than lolita for students wanting to ask me questions...)

Holidays in style!

 With all this cold weather, you might be thinking keeping up with the fashion is getting a little difficult. Fear not, here are a few style tips to help out!

• Layer tights! I typically wear two pairs of tights (shear skin colored and printed/ colored ones on top), sometimes with an extra pair of socks on top of all that! 
• Bloomers are definitely your friend. So are petticoats. The more layers, the warmer!
• Turlenecks. I already mentioned how I adore including them in my outfits. Not only are they warm, they are also very elegant, and give that poise and decency so dear to lolitas. Baby the Stars Shine Bright have adorable ones!
• Once again, layers: beneath that turtlenck or your long-sleeved blouse, wear a camisole and long-sleeved undershirt
• Boots
• Mufflers, earmuffs,gloves, and hats! Berets are my favorite!
• I also found very cute re-usable gel handwarmers. I slip one in each pocket of my coat and turn them on when I am having a long walk in the cold.

Time to talk about festive decorations! I incorporate lolita in every aspect of my life, so I decided to give our Christmas tree a Victorian makeover!

 

     

Santa's airplane!

Someday though I really really want a pink tree! How cute are these?

Crafting at home today!

Can you tell I have been watching My Little Pony lately? I love that series!
I used fimo for these. I had sculpy and regular clay but they somehow dried between my depature from England and my arrival in France... I was so disappointed! Well, I'm still really happy with the result ;)
I created a mold for making the waffles but it broke after only two uses. I'll have to make the next one out of something more solid than fimo.

 I decorated the tree today, and went for a bit more shopping. I didn't find everything yet though, so more shopping in perspective!

My friend Penny's present from a year or two ago. Cute isn't it?

Holiday present shopping! Nothing special much today but it was nice to go out!

I also had fun creating a watermark for my photos!

Lolita Blog Carnival: Your Favorite Dress!

Fairly easy theme this week ;) I know exactly what my dream dresses are! Indeed, there are two which I can safely say are my favorite dresses.

First up is Claudia the Fairytale Princess.

   The colors in this dress are so perfectly complementary, the deep blues of the bodice, the gorgeous hue of those roses, and the gentle cream of the soft chiffon (or whatever)... You can tell just by looking at it how soft and beautiful the lace is. The design itself is so reminiscent of Snow White that I thought that was the inspiration. I still don't know if it was, but this is a dress which embodies what lolita is so me: elegance, raffinement, with a touch of antique-ness.

Baby's Ribbon Ribbon Corset JSK

  Wow. This must be the first dress I really, really fell inlove with. The lines are so elegant and the details so dainty. The shape reminds me of a ballet dancer. I don't hav much else to say, except that Ribbon Ribbon still appeals to me after all these years in lolita!

I just had to add this one, I can't stop myself: Angelic Pretty's Soap Bubble JSK! So. FRILLY!

  If we are  talking about favorite as opposed to dream dress, as I first understood, then that would definitely be my recently acquired Cherry JSK from Baby the Stars Shine Bright. No worn photos yet, but this dress is just stunning! It might be my favorite, but there isn't a dress in my wardrobe that I don't adore <3 Actually, because I find Cherry Parade so beautiful, I have a feeling I won't dare wear it often! My most worn, most loved ones are my  Body Line Pink Soft Cream JSK and Baby Pink Tartan Check JSK in that case!
