[36.] Getting my Frock On!

Hello dear readers (^-^)!

(if there still are any)...

So uhm, it's been a while!

Sorry there were never any "Long Lost Travel Series"...

To be honest, I lost my motivation to write.

I've been having a hard time at work and when I come home,

I just don't feel like sitting in front of a computer again...

Anyhow...

Today, I finally feel like writing about some things I've been up to!

So, without further ado, let's start post [36.]

I went to London for a weekend!

My boyfriend & I left here on Friday after work.

It was our 1 year anniversary that day <3

I've never been so in love with anyone...

Beautiful flowers I received

We exchanged our cards when we got to the hotel in London.
We are soooooo lame XD

On Saturday we did our separate things and I ended up at:

Frock On! The Tea Party Club's 6th Anniversary event.

I didn't feel very well during the day, so I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped.

I did, however, have some great chats with some old friends.

And! I also made some new friends from Holland <3

Here are a few of my photos (^-^)!

My Dutch friends <3

With Ziggy, she's craaazy!

The main shopping hall with loads of stalls!

With special guest Hitomi from Grimoire <3
She was so sweet & adorable!

With my favourite Portoguese, always cheering me up <3

On my way out I got a goodbye photo with Reina & Florrie, love you!

My main purchase, a beautiful OP by Millefleurs <3
So happy to finally own a piece by them!

I couldn't leave without these beauties!
Tights from Grimoire <3

I hope you enjoyed my photos!

I didn't stay for very long, because I wasn't well... 

but I had a great day!

[31.] The Lost Princesses of Kensington Palace

Hello dear readers (^-^)!

Firstly, I'm so sorry for not keeping up this blog.

This will all change, right now!

At the moment, I don't have the opportunity to wear lolita very often.

I'm super busy and stressed at work every day,

so at the weekend I prefer to relax!

I do have some things coming up though.

In this post, I'd like to talk about a little meet-up, 

with my London friends in January!

(Late, I know... Sorry!)

The Lost Princesses of Kensington Palace

It was a rainy and very cold morning of the 12th of January.

I was taking the coach to London to see my lovely friends!

The plan was to have Afternoon Tea at Kensington Palace.

The theme of our meet up was "Classic Lolita",

so I wore my new La danse de la dame JSK by Juliette et Justine.

The afternoon tea was so amazing! 

We each got an individual tray...

Sandwiches, scones & sweet desserts 

Who can say no to that?! Not me...

My beautiful friends Mel & Memz!

Sadly we didn't manage to take a group picture,

because we were chatting so much that it was dark when we left!

Here's my outfit!

After it went dark, we decided to take a trip to London's China Town!

I can't imagine going to China Town without taking purikura,

so obviously that's what we did!

Nice, crazy, imaginary burgers & derp, we're falling off the seats!

Awww, we all love classic so much <3

It was such a lovely outing, missing all my friends already!

Well, that's it for today...

I have another post planned for Easter, so stay tuned!

Thanks for reading,

[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!

How has your weekend been?

I'm back at work again now, boo!

[28.] Tea Party Club 5th Anniversary with Juliette et Justine

Good evening my dear readers (^-^)!

On the 8th of September, already exactly a month ago,

I headed to London to attend the lavish Juliette et Justine Tea Party.

To celebrate the Tea Party Club's 5th Anniversary,

Kyra (my former London housemate) managed to 

host and organise an amazing event, held in the Charing Cross Hotel!

Special guests came to London, straight from Japan!

Head designer of Juliette et Justine

~•*Mariko Suzuki*•~

 Editor of The Gothic & Lolita Bible magazine

Former editor of KERA Maniax magazine

 ~•*Koitsukihime*•~

Japanese doll artist

The day started with early entry for VIPs (me).

We were allowed to browse around early and start buying things!

However, I was good and didn't buy anything until the end!

There were various different stalls on one side of the room

and the whole other side was packed with the most beautiful

Juliette et Justine dresses, skirts, blouses and accessories.

We had about half an hour before they let in people with 

general admission tickets. After everyone had some browsing time,

we got called into a different room as the Q&A Panel was about to start!

From left to right: Akira Tanaka, Mariko Suzuki, Mari Nakamura & Koitsukihime

How cute is Mari Nakamura? Such a sweet smile! 

I remember one question being asked by the panel to the public.

"How long did it take you to get ready this morning?"

Answers ranged from 48 hours(!) to 10 minutes!

For me, I think it took about 30 minutes, because 

I already prepared what to wear the evening before :3

After the Q&A panel, there was a mini-raffle and then we got some 

free time for lunch. There was also an option to go on a scavenger hunt, 

but I was too hungry :3

Once we got back from lunch, the fashion show started!

My fellow blogger & friend Florrie took some amazing photos.

Mine turned out awful, so please look at hers!

Then we had a little bit of free time again,

while the organisers were busy preparing the main-raffle.

I took this opportunity to spend some £££ ^-^!

I bought this beautiful JSK from Juliette et Justine.
It's called "La danse de la dame".

 And I also bought this beautiful key hair clip from Now Voyager!
Felicity always finds the most amazing things, you should check out her shop!

After I had finished spending all my £££ we got called to a different room.
Mari Nakamura and Mariko Suzuki were taking photos of us
and taking our questionnaire that we had to fill out. Then they told me
I looked beautiful and they gave me an autograph (*__*)!

Once I recovered from being star struck main-raffle was starting, yay!
I won a beautiful chocolate coloured bow from Juliette et Justine themselves!

When the main-raffle finished we witnessed a beautiful wedding proposal!
Not a single eye in the room stayed dry!
A massive congratulations to Kyra & Dom <3

After we dried our tears we took a massive group picture.

You can't see me in it properly as I'm in the very back...
You can see my hair accessories, so I'm going to count myself in!
I'm at the left yellow curtain, look for a little green & red spot of hair accessory XD

[26]. RAWR! Wild lolitas at the zoo & dinosaurs too...

Good evening, dear readers ^-^!

I finally have the internet at my house, yay!

Wild lolitas at the Zoo.

My fellow housemate Hayley is a lolita too,

so we were helping each-other to get ready in the morning.

It's always nice to have a bit of company whilst running around

like a crazy headless chicken!

What to wear?!

I settled for my new dress from Emily Temple cute,

called "Wonderland Velveteen Ribbon" :3

Wonderland Velveteen Ribbon by Emily Temple cute :3

Hayley & I left the house together, making her late as I was taking forever!

Sorry about that :/ - I get really annoyed with myself too...

We managed to get on a bus to the train station to pick up more lolitas

and naturally we started cam-whoring, lol!

Myself & Hayley on a bus :3

We were a sight ourselves for the locals & few tourists!

Anyway, once we collected everyone at the train station,

we headed off to the Zoo on another bus ^-^!

Once we arrived, we went straight to the big picnic area they have,

to stuff our faces with some sugary/salty goodness!

We had things like; various cupcakes, mini meringues, quiches, 

little strawberry tarts, crisps, grapes & seeds.

I think we had a fair mix of food stuffs, there are some healthy things in there!

The mini meringue matched my dress!

Mini strawberry tart :3

After munching we roamed around the zoo, looking for cute animals ^-^!

Here are some pictures of some adorable animals we saw;

Red Panda munching away :3

DINOSAURRRR D:

I think this monkey just wants to break free ♪

Tapir with a mohawk!

Sleepy sloth, bless him...

How cool does this frog look?! Probably poisonous!

Lions, this one's the queen of the Zoo.

Near the end of the day we nearly forgot to take photos of ourselves, haha!

Obviously we went straight to everyone's favourite dinosaur, T-Rex :D

There were loads of others there too and even one with baby dinosaurs :3

Unfortunately we didn't get a photo of all of us together... (;____;)"

But there's always next year, though!

A few of us pretending to be T-Rex - (stole this pic from Bexy, sorry!)

Me looking stupid >_>

This is what my whole outfit looked like!

I hope you like it ^-^!

I'm really sorry for the delay in posts,

What's your favourite animal?
Let me know in the comments below!

I'd love to go to Edinburgh Zoo to see the pandas one day,
before we have to give them back to China!
