[23.] The 30-Day Lolita Challenge, Day 4...

Peek-a-boo ^-^!

30-Day Lolita Challenge.

Day 4 - 10 different kinds of food you like.

I'm not sure how this relates to a "lolita challenge",
but I love food, so let's get going ^-^!


• My favourite kind of winter food is: Hutspot!
It’s a mixture of potatoes, carrots & onions <3
Usually accompanied by "rookworst" or "klapstuk".

• My favourite kind of junkfood is: Frikandel!
It’s very hard to describe what it is exactly, so I’m using the official description:
“A dark coloured stave of different kinds of meat which will be eaten deep-fried”.
Always accompanied by chips/fries ^-^ <3

• My favourite kind of sandwich food is: Anijshagel!
They are like chocolate sprinkles but instead of chocolate,
they taste like aniseed! Super tasty :3

• My favourite kind of dairy food is: Cheese!
Any kind of cheese, especially goat's cheese <3

•  My favourite kind of fruit is: Honeydew Melon!
I eat it with parma ham, on it's own or I'll have it as a drink!
I love how versatile it is.

• My favourite kind of dessert is: Chocolate Fudge Brownie!
This doesn't need explaining...

• My favourite kind of sweet is: Liquorice!
Dutch liquorice is the best in the world <3
My favourite ones are Heksehyl & Dropharingen.

• My favourite kind of soup is: "Snert" aka pea soup!
My dad was a pro at making this soup.
It would be so thick that a wooden spoon could stand in the middle of the pot!
Sooo delicious! I regularly make this soup myself ^-^!

"Snert", made by myself :3 - So yummy!

• My favourite kind of pub food is: Bangers & Mash!
I don't think this needs explaining either, apart from that "bangers" are sausages ;)

• My favourite kind of snack food is: Peppers!
I love how fresh they are and the sound it makes when you bite them!
Also the way they taste, obviously! My favourite is yellow, then red & green.


Phew, that was quite a tough one!

I just love eating, so I eat most things :3
The only things I'm not really fond of are noodles & meatballs...

What is your favourite food?

[22.] The 30-Day Lolita Challenge, Day 2 & 3...

Hello everyone ^-^!

Whoops, I'm already behind on this!

I had a busy day yesterday as I went to the zoo!

More about that later, though... 

So here are day 2 & 3!

30-Day Lolita Challenge.

Day 2 - 10 Things you love in lolita.

• I love the overknee socks most of all :3

• I love all the people that wearing lolita has brought my way <3

•  I love eating cake and drinking tea!

• I love the drama some people start.

There, I've said it! I find it very entertaining to watch!

• I love updating my lolita scrapbook.

• I love changing my style and making myself look almost unrecognisable!

• I love all the cute accessories.

• I love travelling to lolita related events.

• I love loli_valentines, it's a great idea!

• I love that we always try to do some intellectual things at meet-ups.

Let's not forget how smart we all are!

•

30-Day Lolita Challenge.

Day 2 - 10 Things you hate in lolita.

First of all, I don't hate - I merely dislike.

• I dislike people who take photos of us without asking.
If you would like a photo, we're more than happy to pose for you - JUST ASK!

• I dislike spending so much money on lolita.
High street prices would be great ;)

• I dislike that my sugar intake is so high, thanks to all the cakes!

• I dislike how fake some people on daily_lolita are.
If the person clearly needs help and you know it, just tell them politely how to improve!
I'm so sick of all these "you're so cute" comments on there...

• I dislike it when my loli-friends are feeling sad.

• I dislike it how vain I am when I'm wearing lolita (especially with my wig).

• I dislike the "I'm not shipping abroad" policy of some seller.

• I dislike how narrow-minded some lolitas are regarding race/sexual orientation/age etc.
I just makes me think of you as a LOL-ITA.

• I dislike how certain people call themselves lolita experts, when clearly they have no clue.

• I dislike /cgl/ - sorry!

•

I must admit, it was quite hard to do both of these!

What do you love about lolita fashion?

I want your opinions ^-^!

[21.] The 30-Day Lolita Challenge, Day 1...

Hello my dear readers ^-^!

Hope you're all well.

I've seen this lolita meme go round quite a bit and I've never actually finished it,

so I thought this would be the perfect thing to do right now!

I'm always up for a challenge, haha :3

30-Day Lolita Challenge.

Day 1 - 10 Things about your lolita bubble.

I'm not even really sure what this mean...

I think things means facts in this sentence?

• I became interested in lolita after seeing a friend wear it to college.

My friend really got me into it and I think I started wearing it properly in mid 2008.

• My favourite brands are Moi-même-Moitié and Emily Temple cute.

• I have a "mild" obsession with socks; lolita really isn't helping with that!

I think I own more socks & tights than clothes :3

• I have experimented with a lot of lolita styles and sub-styles,

though I think I'm still mainly a gothic lolita at heart <3

• When I'm in a different country I always try to meet up with local lolitas.

Sadly, I couldn't meet anyone in the USA, Spain, Italy & Australia.

Hopefully I'll get another chance, though ^-^!

• I live in a house with other lolitas and we sometimes swap our wardrobes!

It's so much fun and you're not paying for "new" clothes ;)

• Someone once asked me how I would describe my lolita style in 3 words;

I answered with: "Screw the guidelines".

Because, quite honestly, I don't care what you think as long as I'm happy!

• I'm going to the zoo tomorrow, because it's time for the annual SW-loli meet!

I'm super excited, because the meet-ups are growing in numbers every year!

• I once sold over half of my lolita wardrobe, as an ex-boyfriend didn't like it. 

Pro Tip: Never sell anything because someone else doesn't like it. 

Screw everyone and be happy with yourself :D

• I love plastic jewellery. A bit too much...

I've had to glue my Baby, the Stars Shine Bright headbow back together 3 times!

Though, I did buy it in 2009... so it breaks about once a year, haha!

•

Well, I hope that was a bit entertaining ^-^!

Tomorrow I'm going to the zoo, so I shall have a picture post soon :3

Look out for Day 2 - 10 Things you love in lolita tomorrow as well!

What are 10 things about your bubble?

[20.] High street finds...

Good afternoon readers ^-^!

Argh, I went shopping 3 days ago, when I really shouldn't...

Since we had this really lovely week of sunshine for once 

(I know.. *GASP*), I figured I was in need of sandals!

I somehow lost my favourite pair of brown sandals from TOPSHOP.

I guess somehow during moving houses so often lately...

My mission for the day was to buy 1 pair of brown & 1 pair of black sandals.

What did I come home with? Errr... oopsie?!

Don't let me go through the sales...

I honestly spent all day looking for sandals that I'd love... but no luck.

Then my friend wanted us to go into Monsoon/Accessorize, so I was dragged there :3

And oh, of course I managed to find things I like in there!

1. Pink peeptoe jelly shoes 

(not quite brown or black, but super comfy)!

They were only £5.40 instead of £18! 
Accessorize is having a massive 1/2 price AND 70% off sale!

2. Two lovely pairs of tights

Only £2.20 each, instead of £8 each! AND THEY HAVE HEARTS ON THEM!

I love combining tights with lolita as I'm quite tall. 

3. Eye rock - Designer Liner

Because quite frankly, I suck at eye make-up and I thought this would be an easy way out!

£3.50 instead of £7 - not that bad I thought...

•

How is your summer so far?

We actually had rain again yesterday :3 

It just can't stay dry for a week in the UK, haha!

Hope you're having a beautiful day today,

I'm going for a walk now ^-^!

[18.] Busy Bee *Bzzzz*...

Hello everyone ^-^!<3

I'm really sorry for the lack of updates recently!

I've just moved to a new house ^-^!

We have lovingly named it the  

~☆House of Glitter☆~

 In the meanwhile, I've received a couple of things in the post!


First of all, my new wig from Lockshop!
Which I absolutely LOVE <3

The "Mermaid Beachy" wig from Lockshop during the evening light.

The "Mermaid Beachy" wig from Lockshop during the daylight.

Both headbows are from Baby, the Stars Shine Bright ;)

It's really lovely material and doesn't look shiny at all.
For this photo I just took it out of the wrapping and brushed it with my fingers.
This wig is also heat resistant, so I can style it any way you like!

Secondly, I have received the beautiful necklace I won in a give-away!
My friend M'loes from Small Closet, Lots of Fashion sent it straight away ^-^!
I will get a nice photo of it as soon as I can!


•


Unexpectedly, I've had a telephone job interview today!
Hopefully I can find a job soon, because money is running out!
The person thought I was perfect for the job, so he'll call back tomorrow
with a date to arrange a face-to-face interview!


*fingers crossed*




This is all I can write for now, 
I don't have the internet yet, at my new house (;___;)!


Short but sweet? Haha!
Thanks for reading,

[17.] Accidentally fun hair...

Hello, my dear readers ^-^! 

 Something different today...

I was putting my hair up as I was getting warm...

and somehow managed to get a bow / Minnie Mouse-like buns in my hair :3

I thought it looked quite good for being an accident, so I took a picture!

I thought it was quite a cute accidental hairdo, lol :3

I'm wearing this shirt / dress today!

I bought it in The Netherlands when I last visited my mum.

It's from a Danish shop called Pieces.

Now, I'm gonna have my dinner ^-^!

I made a burger out of a ciabatta bun & southern fried chicken.

Add: Lettuce, tomato, cucumber & sweetcorn, hmmm yummy!

Obviously I've got two, hehe (I'm always hungry)!

Hope you're having a nice day & as always,

Thank you for reading ^-^!
