Day #86-92: Lifestyle Lolita Challenge!

Hi friends! <3

Continuing along with the daily challenges...

**********************************************************

If I wasn't living in an apartment which had rules against using candles, I'd use one that smelled like lavender, strawberries, or roses.

**********************************************************

I liked this one that shows you how to fold the napkin into a rose:

"How to Fold a Cloth Napkin into a Rose in 72 Seconds"

**********************************************************

I watched "The Louvre museum, a quick tour (Musee du Louvre)"

**********************************************************

Found this one of a motorcycle club in my current city from back in 1955.

**********************************************************

My coord is inspired by The Six of Pentacles; which is money-related.

Featuring:
Innocent World: Organdie Ribbon Headbow
Innocent World: Elizabeth Tights
Innocent World: Classical Coin Ribbon Jsk
Bodyline: Shoes
Offbrand: Blouse, necklace

**********************************************************

This isn't really something that can be "achieved." I like to take the time to appreciate the beauty in everyday life.

**********************************************************

Done. Some interesting things that went on back then :-)

Holy Lantern Opening! (Round Two)

Hi friends! <3

I got a special package in the mail today... Holy Lantern! <3 Yes, I know I already posted an opening for this print before, but I loved it so much I decided to join in the made to order that was happening.

I got the other version of the jsk which has a regular waist and cute double zippers on the front in wine. I also added the matching wine otks and the lavender otks to go with my other jsk.

Thoughts:

The wine colorway is gorgeous <3 I was unsure at first since it is so different from my usual sweet pastel style, but went with it. I figured I could always sell it if it didn't work out. I ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would, and can't even consider selling it now. The other jsk version seems like it will fit me better too. The gold zippers have pulls shaped like crosses that are super cute. I noticed that the otks have an error. The wine ones are supposed to have gold stars at the top, but instead have silver. And the lavender ones have gold instead of silver. This isn't too noticeable until you're up close. I don't think they can be returned, so I'll keep them for now. I'm looking forward to creating some new coords soon so I can wear everything!

Day #79-85: Lifestyle Lolita Challenge!

Hi friends! <3

Continuing along with the daily challenges...

**********************************************************

Checked out this website http://www.lifehack.org/articles/productivity/8-tricks-help-you-read-faster.html

**********************************************************

Done.

**********************************************************

I think this one kinda goes along with the previous day's challenge,
so I guess it's already been completed.

**********************************************************

Wore this cute panda necklace given to me by my mom <3

**********************************************************

Depending on who it was and their preferences, I'd suggest something from
the Shopaholic series or something by John Grisham.

**********************************************************

I went down to the cafeteria at work to get lunch instead of bringing my own.

**********************************************************

I did this with the "Fire and Ice" one from the previous week ;-)
