Thoughts:

These shoes are so cute! The straps were a bit loose when I tried them on, but after making some adjustments, the fit is much better. I especially like the scalloped detailing on the straps. It makes for a unique and sort of edgy look. The materials used are durable and yet flexible too. The straps fasten with snaps on the side. I was originally going to just search for a regular/simple pair of black shoes, but then these popped up at a good price and in my size. I'm thinking they could be worn with gothic coords. Do you agree, or think are they more suited for sweet/classic?

Thoughts:

I really like this headdress! It's simple in design; with an old-school type feel. The quality is very good with soft cotton lace and grosgrain ribbons. The narrow ribbon in the middle is slightly more of a peachy-pink than baby pink, but it's hardly noticeable. I think it will go nicely with a few of my dresses.

Share Your Top 5 Wishlist Items & What Draws You to Them...

Hi friends! <3

Today we're talking wishlist items. Most lolitas have items they've wished/searched/hunted for, or just generally want to create their ideal lolita wardrobe. And not just beginners, but those who have been in the fashion for a long time too. Starter pieces, rare prints, new releases, etc can all be appealing for different reasons. My wishlist is fairly large right now. It includes dream dresses, hard to find accessories, and specific items to help make coording certain dresses possible. I also like to update it every so often to redirect my focus and avoid impulse buying. I find it fairly helpful. So without futher ado, here's my top 5 wishlist items...

Moi Meme Moitie: Stained Glass Print Chiffon Jsk (green)

Green is my favorite color. I know I already have this jsk in blue, but I would love the green version too. It is super comfortable and fits great. The print is gorgeous! Not to mention I have a blouse that would match perfectly with it, as well as some accessories too...

Angelic Pretty: Honey Cake Headbow (mint)

Another but lighter; green item. I have the jsk but no matching headbow. Nothing I have for headwear looks quite right with it either. The subtle print and lace are so nice.

Angelic Pretty: Honey Cake Round Jsk (mint)

This version has the full back shirring which I would prefer over the one I have with only partial shirring. Mine is a bit snug and doesn't leave much room to move around and/or breathe. The print is super cute with bears and various breakfast foods <3

Bodyline: Shoes521 (gold)

I wear my current pair of gold shoes a lot. They are starting to show signs of wear though. I have this style in silver and they seem to hold up well. It would be great to get these as a replacement sometime.

Metamorphose: Cat Print Lace-up Pinafore Jsk (sax)

I've been wanting a cat print jsk and I love how cute and simple this one is. Many of the other cat prints out there are not a flattering cut for me and/or are too busy with the print/details. This one also has full back shirring, so it will be super comfortable. I also think it will be most versatile for coording when compared to the other colorways ;-)

Hope you liked this entry!

Thoughts:

I liked this, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The little individual packets are handy to grab for snacking on the go.  When I opened it up, there was a faint strawberry smell. What I thought was going to be a cookie ended up being more of a cracker instead. There is hardly any filling inside. The cracker is buttery and crisp but it overshadows the mild strawberry taste. I would consider it more of a light snack. It would probably go well with some tea though. You do get a good amount for the price. Eight individual packets with two biscuits each; making for sixteen biscuits in total. I may or may not get this again.

Thoughts:

I had been wanting this jsk for a few years now and was happy to get it a good price. I love the extra goodies the seller included. The necklace will be definitely a lot of use. The fabric and lace on the dress is of nice quality. The print has good detail/color too. It has a side zip and hook fastener. Even though it's a size L, I ended up maxing out the shirring in the back, which made the ribbon lacing pretty much useless. I may just remove it later. The waistline also sits a bit high on me, so I will have to re-sew/move the buttons down lower on the straps. The collar is unusual in that it buttons on in pieces. I was looking forward to wearing it with other dresses I have to change things up. Oh well. Also, if you are looking to get this dress and have long-ish hair *be careful*! Mine got caught on some of the buttons when I went to put the dress on. I'm looking forward to wearing this sometime soon. Hopefully the weather will cool down a bit more for that :-)
