[40.] ☆ Milk Tea Day UK ☆

Hello dear readers (^-^)

Today, I'd like to tell you about an event I attended earlier this month!

☆ Milk Tea Day UK ☆

The day actually started out quite hilarious when I got to the coach station.
There was a man wandering around in his underwear...
Yet still, I was getting all the looks when I turned up for my coach wearing Lolita!

At 'Milk Tea Day' Japanese band Die Milch (The Milk in German), had their UK debut.

It took place in The Nave; a beautiful and historic venue near Islington in London.

When I first got there, I thought I was lost as I had never been to Islington before,

and comparing it to other event locations, it just looked like I was in the wrong place!

BUT. I spotted a sign and noticed that it was indeed the right place.

Once I arrived, I travelled alone, I was glad to see many friends straight away!

Some friends I hadn't seen for around 2 years, so it was lovely to catch up.

Entry to the event was free, until 5pm when the concert would start.

I walked around for a bit, took outfit shots with friends & had a tea in a Maid Café :3

There were lots of cute stalls selling Lolita accessories and some even sold clothing!

I tried to spend minimal money, so this is all I bought:

Metronom CD - a sweet from Coco - rose tea and a tea strainer

The ever so kind Florrie took Outfit pictures of Reina & I before it went dark.

These days the sun goes under at 4:30pm already...

My outfit picture, you can view here:

After the silliness with friends, we were called back into the venue.

The concert was about to start, yay!

I have to admit, I hadn't listened to their music before, but I decided to go anyway.

My main reason was seeing my friends, which meant a lot to me!

It turned out that I really enjoy Die Milch's music, so that was a nice bonus, haha!

I have 3 little Instagram video's from the concert.

I hope you enjoy them!

After the concert, I was very fortunate to have my CD signed by Coco & Yui.

I was also able to have my picture taken with them, before I had to rush off for my 

3 hour coach journey!

I'm so impressed, they are so nice and even speak a tiny bit of English.

Coco tried to make us sing "White Christmas" with them,

but I don't know the lyrics to any English songs....

Super embarrassing!

All in all, it was an amazing day and I'm so glad that I attended!

Hope to see all of my friends again soon <3

If you like what you're hearing, then I suggest you go see Die Milch when you have the chance!

As always, thanks for reading!

[32.] Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone (^-^)

Hope you all had a lovely time!

I've spent Easter with my boyfriend's family,

as all of my family lives abroad.

I had a great time!

We arrived at 10 o'clock on Easter Sunday for breakfast.

This wasn't just any breakfast, but a traditional Polish Easter breakfast!

~•* Here is some foodporn for your enjoyment *•~

ALL THE FOOD

Barszcz Biały - traditional Easter soup

A selection of ham

Fresh herring

Sałatka - a vegetable salad

Filled eggs with mayonnaise

Kabanas - a type of Polish sausage

Galaretka - chicken & vegetables jelly stuff

Well it's needless to say, after all that, I was pretty stuffed!

I absolutely love Polish cuisine, it's very similar to the food I grew up with.

Plus it helps that my boyfriend's parents are amazing chefs <3

You'd think this would be all the food you can eat for breakfast...

WRONG! Not in a Polish house. Eating kind of never stops.

But hey! You don't hear me complaining ;)

A selection of delicious cakes

MOAR CAKE - this cheesecake was amazing!

Of course, because I hadn't worn lolita properly since January,

I took this opportunity to wear something nice...

Here's my Easter outfit & greetings!

Happy Easter to all my Dutch readers <3

I'm a bunny...

~•* Outfit *•~

Bunny Ears - Supermarket

Rose Wreath - Primark

Blouse - New Look

JSK - Angelic Pretty

Tights - Accessorize

Shoes - Vivienne Westwood x Melissa

For the first time in ages, I've used my natural hair...

I still think it doesn't go very well with lolita,

and I should just keep wearing a wig!

I've only just noticed how horribly short this dress is on me D:

Does anyone know where to get an underskirt?

Maybe I should just sell it (;_____;)

Opinions?

Hope you all had a lovely Easter!

Thanks for reading (^-^)..

[30.] A belated Merry Christmas & a happy 2013!

Hello everyone (^___^)!

I'm wishing you all a belated "Merry Christmas!"
And a happy last day of 2012!
Ok, you can have an amazing 2013 too ;) 

I hope you had a nice time with your family and loved ones :)

A few days before Christmas, my mum and my brother flew over to visit me.

It was lovely to have them over, especially as I hadn't 

seen my mum for about 6 months!

Christmas itself, I celebrated with my boyfriend on the 24th.

It's German and Polish tradition to celebrate and do the presents on Christmas Eve.

For this day, we wore matching Christmas jumpers, haha XD

Christmas Dinner was delicious!
My boyfriend should really enter Masterchef, haha!

Barszcz

(beetroot soup)

●

4-Bird Roast with potatoes, carrots, broccoli,

parsnips & sprouts

●

Apple Crumble

After dinner, we've opened our presents!

I got super spoiled this year!

My boyfriend bought me a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2,

from which I'm writing this entry :D

Christmas Day was spent at a friends house

And I dressed up for the ooccasion ;)

Merry Christmas & a happy new year

[29.] Tea Time with the Bristolian ladies

Good evening, dear readers (^-^)!

On Saturday the 3rd of November, I went to have afternoon tea

with the local ladies of the Bristolian lands!

My housemate Hayley and I walked to the venue together.

It's so funny how English people always try not to look at you,

even though it's quite obvious that they can't help themselves XD

 Oh well, Hayley & I love shocking the locals and the tourists so it's fiiiine :3

We met up at Boston Tea Party, not far from our house.

They had reserved a table for us especially.

Naturally I ordered an 'Afternoon Tea' and shared it with Hayley,

and I chose Yunnan Rose tea as my actual drinking tea!

Hmmm 'Afternoon Tea'

Caaaake :3

Super delicious scone with clotted cream & jam <3

Yunnan Rose tea with real rosebuds in it!

Soooo tasty! It was a bit too much, though!

I wrapped up the brownies in my napkin and took them home, haha ;)

Just remembered there was a slight dilemma with the tea spoons.

Hayley is portraying this wonderfully in the following photos:

Hayley: "Where are the spoons?!" Me: "There are no spoons!" Hayley: *sulk*

Jenny also took some photos (much better than my phone can),

so here is a delightful picture of me scoffing cake... 

Oh well, I'm always eating :3

"OMG DELICIOUS SAMMICH"

Sometimes slightly less elegant, but at least I'm having fun?!

After the delicious meal, some of us decided to go for a walk.

We found this beautiful park that I didn't even know existed!

So beautiful, argh! I wish I took some more photos (>_<)"!

We managed to take a little incomplete, blurry group photo with the self-timer :3

I'm wearing my Angelic Pretty 'Dreaming Macaron' JSK,

which I received in the post on that actual morning!

Katherine, Gina, Jenny, Hannah & I ^-^! I'm not actually that small!

Here's an outfit shot of the day that the beautiful Jenny took!

Meeeeeee :3 - I really love this picture <3 Thanks, Jenny!

I always take photos of churches with stained glass :3

I instantly fell in love with this <3

[16]. Selections from my lolita wardrobe...

Hello my dear readers ^-^!

I thought it might be nice to showcase my lolita wardrobe.

In this post I'll show my skirts & dresses!

•

~*Alice and The Pirates*~

Name: "Relief Print" OP.
Released in: 2009.

This beautiful piece was acquired in a partial trade for
my Baby, the Stars Shine Bright "Tulip Bouquet" JSK.
I couldn't believe how beautiful it was when I first opened the parcel!
The little angels on the print are so adorable.

•

~*Angelic Pretty*~

Name: "Strawberry Mille-Feuille" Skirt.
Released in: 2007.

When I first got to know about this print, it became my first real "dream print".
I've loved it so much ever since I got it!
It can be worn casually (as I do quite a lot lately)
or in a regular way or very OTT.
Love it <3

Name: "Colorful Drop" JSK.
Released in: 2008.

I bought this dress from my friend Alexandria in the Bahamas!
I've talked about her in my Foreign Lolita series ^-^!<3
I bought it off her to help her financially after being burgled
and I really wanted a new dress for the Tea Party Club 4th anniversary!
So it felt extra good buying this, as I was helping someone else in a way :3
Win/Win!

Name: "Rose Princess Doll" JSK.
Released in: 2008.

I first saw this dress in a magazine scan from KERA.
I fell in love with it straight away, the hime style is so beautiful.
For now, I don't think I've done this dress justice, 
but I hope to come up with something good at some point soon!

~*Emily Temple cute*~

Name: Unknown.
Released in: Unknown.

I bought this skirt at Hyper Japan in 2011!

It only cost me £20! Bargain ^-^!

 I was actually working at Hyper Japan then, 
manning the Bring & Buy stall!
It was a lot of fun and extremely busy!

 Name: Unknown.
Released in: Unknown.

I bought this dress from Alice Fururun.
Looking at this dress just makes me sad these days.
I had an accident with the washing machine...

The light pink in the dress used to be WHITE!

I think it still looks wearable though...

Just not as pretty as before!

 Name: "Wonderland Velveteen Ribbon" Sleeveless OP
Released in: Unknown.

I got this dress in a trade with my former housemate!

We liked each others dresses so we thought:

"why not trade?"

Such a simple way to get "new" things,

without spending any money on it ^-^!

•

~*Juliette et Justine*~

Name: Unknown.
Released in: Unknown.

 This is my newest OP! I guess you can all see it now :3

I wanted it to be a massive secret for the JetJ tea party in London,

but oh well... I can't keep silent, lol! 

I love all the beautiful flowers and the black background should

make it easier for me to coordinate it somehow, hopefully!

It's very long, even on me it's below the knee D:

I'm 174cm tall, in case you're wondering ^-^!

 

I bought this from my amazing friend Sonia in America!

Love you forever <3

•
~*Moi-même-Moitié*~

Name: "Chandelier" Skirt.
Released in: 2007.


I finally managed to obtain this skirt after trading and
originally owning the black x blue version.
I love this skirt, it's so versatile!
I recently wore it in a Cult Party Kei x Lolita outfit 
for the fashion show in Brighton ^-^!
 

 Name: "Silky Rose" OP.
Released in: 2009.

My favourite dress ever <3
One day I'd love to own the blue x white version too!
I bought this one for myself a birthday present in 2009.

Name: "Snow Cut Shirring Sun Dress".
Released in: 2007.

This is such a lovely and casual dress.
I managed to get away with wearing it to work on several occasions!
It's very light and it has tiny polkadots all over it!


•
~*Victorian Maiden*~

Name: Unknown.
Released in: Unknown.


I've bought this beautiful piece from Closet Child.
Just like Alice Fururun, they sell second hand lolita clothing.
I try not to look on those websites right now as I need to save money :3

I love this dress so much, I had it altered to fit me properly ^-^!

It's also a very long JSK, so this is also below the knee on me!

•

Well, that's it ^-^!

All the current dresses from my lolita wardrobe!

If anyone has any information on the "unknown" dresses,

I'd love to know more about them, please let me know!

Thank you & I hope you're having a nice day!
