It really feels like falling into wonderland, each area has it's own theme and if you follow along closely there is an overarching story throughout the whole experience.</div>

And my outfit, all handmade. I really loved going in casual lolita, fancy enough to feel part of it all but casual enough to be able to climb about and enjoy it. If you ever have the chance to go I super duper recommend it, but make sure you wear bloomers and nothing super dear to you because it is very interactive and I did end up getting the hem of my dress caught on the occasional bit of scenery.<br />

We went to the aquarium and botanic gardens. It was lovely because everything was in bloom but it was on the warmer side, luckily not as warm as it is now (last week topped 100 most days ). This is actually the first time in ten years of wearing lolita that I did something special on ILD.<br />
<br />
Our comm is really tiny but all the members are sweet. Sorry I'm not including any pics of the other members but I haven't asked for their permission to post. If you are in the Albuquerque area (or are visiting) please check our community out on FB, we are Lolitas of New Mexico<br />

And a quick snap of after the meet when I realized I didn't have any proper outfit shots. It rained about 45 minutes after the meet ended good timing for us!<br />

Hair and makeup. I trimmed the wig to have softer face framing pieces it works much better to soften my face i think.<br />

And nail set. I've working to keep my nails cuter because even if I don't feel up to getting fancy it can be a bit of cute in my life :) This set is acrylic with 3d designs in pink, lilac, and white with a hearts and candy theme.<br />

Last month I went out to our local natural history museum, they have a free day once a month and it's a nice way to spend a morning. I remember coming to the museum nearly every school year I went to public school here. </div>

I had just received these shoes so I had to give them a test run. And I realized that most of my purses didn't make in the move with me and must be in some box or another at my mothers house. So my daily pink bow purse had to be a stand in until I feel up for searching for them.</div>

Next up Demeter perfumes and my rambling about coordinating outfits and scentsPearmaidenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02536609236099259993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067915305968562153.post-64608427919040422392015-04-29T14:40:00.000-06:002015-04-29T14:40:11.330-06:00A modest start at decorating and a flowering heart tutorial<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I've had a slow start to decorating our new place. Luckily we had most of the furniture we needed and now it's just adding touches that will bring it all together.<br />
<br />
Overall it will hopefully (fingers super crossed) end up with a blue, cream, and floral theme throughout the house (with more pink in the bedroom). I want something that compliments the lolita aesthetic but isn't so over the top, except the bedroom I've been given free reign to go as OTT as I want in there!<br />
<br />
Starting on the living room I made this heart decoration to hang along side a cork board over my sewing area.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sGhgNfs3yAY/VUE7XgOqCXI/AAAAAAAABMM/crNuayDkHBE/s1600/WP_20150428_004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sGhgNfs3yAY/VUE7XgOqCXI/AAAAAAAABMM/crNuayDkHBE/s1600/WP_20150428_004.jpg" height="320" width="179" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's really easy to make! And can be in any color scheme to fit your decor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cardboard</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Box cutter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hot glue/glue gun</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ribbon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fake flowers</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oz2oXZyh6aE/VUE7YVy7cOI/AAAAAAAABMQ/FiBDKxIrikk/s1600/WP_20150427_023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oz2oXZyh6aE/VUE7YVy7cOI/AAAAAAAABMQ/FiBDKxIrikk/s1600/WP_20150427_023.jpg" height="179" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I based mine out of cardboard, it's lightweight and fairly durable. Having the whole project be light is great if you can't put holes in your walls or don't want to hang it over a stud.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Start by marking out your heart. I eyeballed it but if you want to be exact printing out a heart would be simple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5oAcc6VPXUk/VUE7dyDLLYI/AAAAAAAABMc/xTd4IGt6y-I/s1600/WP_20150427_024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5oAcc6VPXUk/VUE7dyDLLYI/AAAAAAAABMc/xTd4IGt6y-I/s1600/WP_20150427_024.jpg" height="179" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All cut out and marked for the center.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o-AOfzoEJQk/VUE7eiRjeAI/AAAAAAAABMk/pIgmz7fiuPY/s1600/WP_20150427_030.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o-AOfzoEJQk/VUE7eiRjeAI/AAAAAAAABMk/pIgmz7fiuPY/s1600/WP_20150427_030.jpg" height="320" width="179" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the finished form. This would be cute with letters (maybe your initials or a short word)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BNs2nQbA2k0/VUE7fcwKeaI/AAAAAAAABMs/E6DPtxvo96k/s1600/WP_20150427_033.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BNs2nQbA2k0/VUE7fcwKeaI/AAAAAAAABMs/E6DPtxvo96k/s1600/WP_20150427_033.jpg" height="179" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A selection of fake flowers. I pick mid range ones in terms of quality. Don't go for the super nice ones made of velvet unless you are dedicated to dusting because they can be a bear to clean. I found it easiest to trim most of the stem off so they are able to be positioned flat or at an angle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sekampnRCwQ/VUE7f06p66I/AAAAAAAABMw/ithypL4ZeIQ/s1600/WP_20150427_038.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sekampnRCwQ/VUE7f06p66I/AAAAAAAABMw/ithypL4ZeIQ/s1600/WP_20150427_038.jpg" height="320" width="179" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Slowly applying them with hot glue. You could use an epoxy or a slow drying glue like e6000 but hot glue works fine and gives quick results.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K0jIsyw39ss/VUE7jQoeeuI/AAAAAAAABNE/hPAmatLBWDs/s1600/WP_20150428_007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K0jIsyw39ss/VUE7jQoeeuI/AAAAAAAABNE/hPAmatLBWDs/s1600/WP_20150428_007.jpg" height="320" width="179" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the back glue a loop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oCIReKbxZOY/VUE7gkdv-2I/AAAAAAAABM8/gJsjmftM8W4/s1600/WP_20150428_001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oCIReKbxZOY/VUE7gkdv-2I/AAAAAAAABM8/gJsjmftM8W4/s1600/WP_20150428_001.jpg" height="320" width="179" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And you're done! Overall this took a little under an hour, so a good project for an evening or a rainy day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully I will have some full room shots soon :) Also upcoming my attempts to make a billion flavors of macarons and a few new sewing projects and purchases. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope your having a wonderful week.I will leave you with an outfit snap of mine from Easter. I love that spring is finally making an appearance.</div>

We went to brunch at Flying Star Cafe, which was refreshingly not too busy for a Sunday brunch. Sadly I don't have any shots of the group all together, it was a casual meet so not everyone wore lolita. It was great to have the chance to meet more local people especially after being in hibernation mode for so long.<br />

I recently got a new pack of eyelashes and wanted to try updating my makeup look. I went for a more natural eye shape because the lashes are not as dramatic and peach waterlining. Little tip: if you are tan skinned using peach in place of white liner looks more natural.</div>

As you can see it has adorable blue detailing and I hope to report back on decorating it in a cute style.Pearmaidenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02536609236099259993noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067915305968562153.post-31099689531841980602015-01-23T19:09:00.000-07:002015-01-23T19:09:14.199-07:00RoomwearSuper duper long time no post! Lolita and J-fashion has been on the back burner for the past few years for me but I’m really excited to start blogging again (and maybe even making more youtube videos, I have a much better camera now).<br />
<br />
First post back? Roomwear!<br />
<br />
I’ve been pretty ill the last few years (long story short my autonomic system hates me) and spending so much time in bed and at home has made me appreciate roomwear a million times more.<br />
<br />
Up until recently I never really cared about roomwear, sure it was cute but I never saw the need to own much. Now I’m in love. Soft comfortable cute clothes that make you feel adorable even if you aren’t going to do more than lay in bed and marathon netflix.<br />
<br />
Anyways here is my growing collection! Very focused on winter warmth right now. When spring comes I want to add some cute short sleeved nighties like in ‘A little princess’ and the ones the felicity and kirsten american girls dolls had (I was majorly obsessed with AG dolls when I was little).<br />

Sooo much less dressing up and no blogging :(<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QaoZb_cQzLI/Tpn3SKYxavI/AAAAAAAAA48/eSz2YyCRCow/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663829897793071858" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QaoZb_cQzLI/Tpn3SKYxavI/AAAAAAAAA48/eSz2YyCRCow/s320/1.jpg" /></a><br />I tried to get a few makeup shots on my non-lolita days...this was the only one I managed<br /><br />Overall I've found my style drifting this summer/fall, much more 'street style' with lolita influences than straight up loli. I rarely post to lolita comms so I don't really mind. I do think I will work to tighten up my coords and evolution of my closet this winter...hopefully. </p><br /><p>On to the outfits </p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f2nwf7Qfb9Y/Tpn3R533pqI/AAAAAAAAA40/QOf2_wGoEaQ/s1600/2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663829893360101026" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f2nwf7Qfb9Y/Tpn3R533pqI/AAAAAAAAA40/QOf2_wGoEaQ/s320/2.JPG" /></a> Casual classic, the skirt has a textured velvet pattern.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FPCg71PK-Ow/Tpn3Rssit5I/AAAAAAAAA4o/b5KbxyR25uE/s1600/3.1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663829889822930834" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FPCg71PK-Ow/Tpn3Rssit5I/AAAAAAAAA4o/b5KbxyR25uE/s320/3.1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-edije7Jq1UU/Tpn3Q5IbtbI/AAAAAAAAA4g/y7C3KbKB3j0/s1600/3.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663829875981268402" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-edije7Jq1UU/Tpn3Q5IbtbI/AAAAAAAAA4g/y7C3KbKB3j0/s320/3.JPG" /></a> Bolero creep :o Went to a rugby game and celtic festival.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oovb2ExtxhQ/Tpn3Qtm0COI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/4bLNlrY6q-Q/s1600/4.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663829872887466210" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oovb2ExtxhQ/Tpn3Qtm0COI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/4bLNlrY6q-Q/s320/4.JPG" /></a> Pale dolly-kei-esque.

<br />I have seen these cute socks in Japanese magazine street snaps for awhile now and never could find the brand that sold them. Finally I found the brand name listed and as luck would have it they are an US company. They offer mix and match prints and styles for custom tights, thigh highs, leggings and socks of all types. I was very excited to order these and now that I have them here is a review!
<br />
<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cLIbhR37Cqo/Tk73pm5dVcI/AAAAAAAAAy8/ShLX7Dti_fk/s1600/DSC_2353.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 275px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5642719677330052546" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cLIbhR37Cqo/Tk73pm5dVcI/AAAAAAAAAy8/ShLX7Dti_fk/s320/DSC_2353.JPG" /></a>
<br />Celeste Stein ‘first kiss’ print opaque thigh highs. http://celestestein.com/
<br />
<br />Ordering: The website is quite easy to navigate and has nice clear pictures of the prints offered. But nowhere does it specify if the prints are repeating or only appear once on the socks. If I hadn’t seen these socks in worn pictures I most likely would have skipped this cute design. Another little gripe is that the shipping cost is not shown until you have already entered your payment info; shipping for one pair was 7.95… a bit steep for a tiny item shipped one state over. They use flat rate shipping (for up to how many items I don’t know) if I had known this in advance I might have considered buying multiple pairs. After paying I received a conformation email letting me know that each order is custom printed and would be shipped 3-10 days after the order was placed. This was not stated on the website, the wait time doesn’t bother me but I can imagine some people might be ordering with an event or deadline and have a problem with this.
<br />
<br />Shipping:
<br />They were shipped Aug. 15th and arrived Aug. 18th actual postage was $4.75 shipped USPS priority mail. The socks were not wrapped in anything just placed in a large (very much larger that the item) cardboard envelope. The fact they weren’t in plastic doesn’t bother me but in areas with more rain it could be a bit of a problem.

<br />
<br />The sock themselves:
<br />I knew I was going to love the design after seeing them so many times :) the print is vibrant and detailed in person. They are thick enough to stay opaque when worn (even over my skin tone) and the pattern is not visibly distorted by my leg size. They stay up very well and I didn’t notice any slipping when worn. There is no ‘foot’ part of the thigh highs they look like tube sock. The fit of the sock is a bit off though…first off here are my leg measurements (I think my legs are fairly average sized but I do have slightly thick thighs ;P)
<br />Ankle: 7inches
<br />Widest part of calf: 11 inches
<br />Thigh where sock ends: 15 inches
<br />Inseam: 37 inches O_0
<br />Mainstream brand socks (target, forever 21, etc.) fit me well save for the length issue.
<br />The thigh highs are true to length as listed on the website. The really nice thing is they have socks in many lengths so girls of all height s can find something fitting!
<br />

<br />The fit issues start for me with the fact one is slightly tighter than the other one and the reinforced band at the top is slightly wider. I think the tightness issue will resolve itself after a few wears but the band problem is visible. The other issue is bagging at the ankle, the socks don’t conform to my ankle very much, with most Lolita shoes this isn’t too obvious but it is unflattering.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zhOMK-DuY9M/Tk73eWilbpI/AAAAAAAAAyU/XiX7YqvYBN4/s1600/5ankle.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5642719483960585874" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zhOMK-DuY9M/Tk73eWilbpI/AAAAAAAAAyU/XiX7YqvYBN4/s320/5ankle.JPG" /></a>
<br />For fit recommendations I’m not sure I’d recommend (at least this style) for anyone with too much larger of legs. I do think is pattern, the once repeating type, is very forgiving to stretch much more so then the all over repeating style of some of the prints offered. I tried sliding my arm into the socks and stretching them to see at what size they distorted at, a few inches more at each measurement would be all I’d recommend, again the stretch-ability of the other styles offered might be different.

<br />Over all I really love these socks, much more for the cute design then the fit or service. If I didn’t like the print these would have been a total bust for me. Chances are I will be buying another pair or two. The issues I mentioned with shipping cost surprises and wait times aren’t really an issue, they just were an unwelcome surprise for a first time buyer and won’t bother me in future purchases. I will be checking retailers and eBay auctions that have her socks for better deals. I have seen the more popular designs resold often, at time at lower price (especially when you include shipping).
<br />Pros:
<br />Cute vibrant design
<br />True to size listed
<br />Cons:
<br />Fit issues
<br />Unclear shipping policies
<br />

I wanted to work on playing up the smaller color details in the print and the overall feel of the dress.<br /><br /><br />With prints like this (horizontally striped and repeating) changing the whole look of the JSK is a bit harder because it comes off as distinctive and eye-catching (sometimes bordering on too busy). Brands like E.T.C. and Shirley Temple often release prints with this type of patterning, but even brands like AP have prints like Royal Poodle that utilize repeating.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ruPcnq9_lp8/TbsvcipTEsI/AAAAAAAAAvw/D8qEFmadPdY/s1600/DSC_1097.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601122728948208322" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ruPcnq9_lp8/TbsvcipTEsI/AAAAAAAAAvw/D8qEFmadPdY/s400/DSC_1097.JPG" /></a> Marshmallow Monday<br />Comfy and casual with a big fluffy statement purse.

I was really hoping to get a coord with red accents but couldn't find a way to make it work with the pieces I have currently. Sandals and sockless looks appears a few times inspired by the lovely weather recently (although today is windy as <a href="mailto:f@#k">f@#k</a>) and could be dressed up by switching the white sandals out for close toed shoes. The outfits seem to have a split between casual and dramatic which I think mirrors my own dressing style :)<br /><br /><br />Hope you all are had a wonderful week and that your weekend will be tons of fun!Pearmaidenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02536609236099259993noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067915305968562153.post-27129190790027013802011-04-26T21:06:00.007-06:002011-04-26T22:09:53.449-06:00Outfit catch-upQuite a few pictures here ;P<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gEvCS9JfVEY/TbeJtAyxEcI/AAAAAAAAAuA/eheUSHAy9k4/s1600/DSC_0858.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600096068058550722" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gEvCS9JfVEY/TbeJtAyxEcI/AAAAAAAAAuA/eheUSHAy9k4/s400/DSC_0858.JPG" /></a> Bubble blowing.

I really recomend doing this on each knee so it fits perfectly.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wG9AhGSXuu0/TV2izzAC18I/AAAAAAAAAqA/HKwpH2vzh6k/s1600/DSC_0487.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574790924501964738" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wG9AhGSXuu0/TV2izzAC18I/AAAAAAAAAqA/HKwpH2vzh6k/s400/DSC_0487.JPG" /></a><br />Side view, make sure to continue the line along the side of the knee so it will match up with the back portion.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yFXGZYT_LR0/TV2izntEniI/AAAAAAAAAp4/3pZUxGkJ09c/s1600/DSC_0489.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574790921469599266" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yFXGZYT_LR0/TV2izntEniI/AAAAAAAAAp4/3pZUxGkJ09c/s400/DSC_0489.JPG" /></a><br />I then outlined with black fabric paint<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mtub4rUSrwo/TV2hrdYmtyI/AAAAAAAAApw/YwdxHITbnl8/s1600/DSC_0492.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574789681748817698" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mtub4rUSrwo/TV2hrdYmtyI/AAAAAAAAApw/YwdxHITbnl8/s400/DSC_0492.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Then shaded with both grey fabric paint and watered down black, to create the shadows that would occur with doll parts fitting together. one knee shaded<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WcPraXHnNxs/TV2hqirpmpI/AAAAAAAAApo/6v9q14mIerA/s1600/DSC_0498.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574789665991006866" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WcPraXHnNxs/TV2hqirpmpI/AAAAAAAAApo/6v9q14mIerA/s400/DSC_0498.JPG" /></a> And both done.

It's a blue skirt with chiffon ruffles, a blue chiffon long vest, flowered apron, an over coat, neckwarmer, and lace and flower pin. The shirt and hat I had already.</p><br /><p>I was going for a natural kei feel with lots of layers and details. The overcoat is light and soft, so hopefully will be usefull into spring weather. The skirt I'm excited to use with cream and gold accents for classic loli :) I'm dyeing some rose lace to go above the top line of ruffles (inspired by the brand chantilly) so it's not totally finished yet.</p><br /><p><br /></p><br /><p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwgRywuLzP8/TVMmi67DFCI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/WeFjELUXzzc/s1600/DSC_0526.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571839545361765410" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwgRywuLzP8/TVMmi67DFCI/AAAAAAAAAlQ/WeFjELUXzzc/s400/DSC_0526.JPG" /></a> mori-esque one piece (I'm wearing it in the outfit snap above)<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jwgRywuLzP8/TVMmikzGWVI/AAAAAAAAAlI/aB1enMYRiQ0/s1600/DSC_0528.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571839539422845266" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jwgRywuLzP8/TVMmikzGWVI/AAAAAAAAAlI/aB1enMYRiQ0/s400/DSC_0528.JPG" /></a> the neckline is made with an antique doily.</p><br /><p><br /></p><br /><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jwgRywuLzP8/TVMmiRcT-DI/AAAAAAAAAlA/ET6f3J8EBHo/s1600/DSC_0537.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571839534226995250" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jwgRywuLzP8/TVMmiRcT-DI/AAAAAAAAAlA/ET6f3J8EBHo/s400/DSC_0537.JPG" /></a> And my favorite little thing right now, a tea tag necklace! I love the look of cute paper tea tags hanging over the edges of teacups so I made this necklace, it sits hanging off set for a whimsical look and has golden little swirlies in the corner.

My last gasp of winter feeling :D hoping it will start feeling spring like (I live in the USA southwest so it's already like 50 degrees).<br /><br />The gray and black of this dress play as neutrals and makes it open to lots of coordination options.
