Sometimes, San Diego Comic-Con is not the best place to be wearing Lolita fashion. The San Diego sun can get quite intense in July and you can almost forget about traversing the crowded dealers room in layers of petticoats. That’s why, I’m impressed with these two lovely Classic Lolitas Lydia snapped a photo of at [...]

I wanted to feature a full outfit from the Lolita Picnic on Sunday, and since Steampunk was the theme for Fanime Con 2011, Jeanine seemed like the perfect candidate! Blouse: Metamorphose Skirt: Bodyline* Socks: Ergi Shoes: Kohls *She reversed the bodice on this popular Bodyline skirt. It balances the bottom well and definitely works better [...]

Yesterday, I blogged about Courtney’s adorable pom-pom adorned outfit. The other bit of wonderful craftiness I spotted at Angelic Pretty’s mini party was this sweets-laden whipped cream cell phone cover, made by Rebecca. Here is Rebecca on the left using her phone, and the rest of the early birds waiting for Angelic Pretty SF to [...]

I have been wanting a set of Clover pom-pom makers for a few months now. Yes, I know how to make them with cardboard rings, and you can get cheap durable plastic rings at craft stores as well, but Clover’s Pon Pon Maker tutorial video fills me with crafty joy. I saw Courtney at Angelic [...]

I spotted at least 4 well-dressed lolitas at San Diego Comic-Con but with registration and masquerade being so hectic, I didn’t always have my camera at the ready. Here are a couple I did manage to stop and ask for a quick fashion snap… Were any of you at SDCC this year? Umi and I [...]

On Fanime Saturday/Day 2 of Fantaisies dans les Monde des Rêves, Umi and I both wore boater hats, our favorite recent trend. We thought the hats would help people find us, as we’d been asked by Oneesan Inc. to take street snaps that might get published in Kera magazine. Did I take your picture on [...]
