[35.] Long Lost Travel Tales, a new series!

Hello dear readers (^-^)!

I came up with a new series to write.

Similar to the "Foreign Lolita's" series,

but more about the past events that I have attended.

I shall names this series "Long Lost Travel Tales".

I'm writing about the past, because currently there's not much on my calendar!

Well, that's a lie because I have tons of plans for later this year...

But they will stay secret for now until everything is confirmed (^-^)!

I will start this new series hopefully this weekend!

I have a lot of exciting private things going on at the moment

and my work is taking up a lot of time recently...

I'll leave you with some pictures from this weekend!

I took the opportunity to dress up a little bit, but I didn't go anywhere special.

[34.] Uniqlo x Ladurée

Hello dear readers (^-^)!

A lot of good things have been happening,

so I'm finding it a little hard to blog!

I've just moved to a new house with my amazing boyfriend ♡

We finally have wifi since this week, so I have some catching up to do!

Today, I want to tell you about my recent purchases.

I recently heard that Uniqlo was doing a collaboration with Ladurée.

I normally miss out on all the cool Uniqlo collaborations, because

either I don't have any money or I just don't know about them until it's too late!

NOT THIS TIME! CAN NOT MISS OUT ON LADURÉE!

So, I've sent my friend Wing shopping for me in London,

because there is sadly no Uniqlo store in my city...

Thank you Wing, you're the best!

I got 3 lovely T-Shirts.

The writing is in gold glittery letters <3

ALL THE MACARONS <3

ALL THE MACARONS AGAIN <3

Wheeee~ They are so cute and look much better in real life!

With that in mind, I wanted to wear one of them today.

I have been very ill over the last week so all I was wearing was sweatpants :/

Now that I'm starting to feel better, I wanted to look better as well :3

This is what I've created and how I look today!

Bit blurry? :/

~•* Outfit *•~

Headbow - Baby, the Stars Shine Bright

T-Shirt - Uniqlo x Ladurée

Belt - New Look

Skirt - Emily Temple cute

Socks - Birthday gift from boyfriend's mum ♡

Shoes - Primark (£3!!!)

Ladurée draws it's inspiration from elegance and refinement,

nostalgia and modernity, the beautiful and the tasteful.

Ladurée speaks to our senses between pleasure and tenderness

and fullfills all our cravings.

Yes. You do, Ladurée ♡

ALL MY CRAVINGS.

Love,

[33.] A Day in Utrecht with my Dutchies

Hello, my dears!

Hope you're well <3

I've completely forgotten that I went on holiday :3

It was a while ago, but as you can tell by my archive,

I didn't have much motivation to write anything!

28/01/2013

Utrecht, The Netherlands

(Shamefully late post, I know)

Utrecht - Such a beautiful city!

After a drive of an hour and a half, I eventually made it to Utrecht.

After getting lost a few times, trying to find a parking spot...

Damn roadworks everywhere...!

I met up with my lovely friends Marloes & Damiën for the day.

It was so much fun! We went to the Cathedral of Saint Martin, 

or as it is lovingly known by the locals: De Domtoren!

It's THE symbol of Utrecht.

The Cathedral tower is 112 meters high and 

it is the highest tower from the Middle Ages in The Netherlands.

It's also over 600 years old!

De Domtoren

After walking around the Cathedral & looking at the beautiful stained glass,

we got a bit peckish and decided to have some tea & cake (obviously)!

The Cathedral had a little tea room which was surprisingly nice.

It looked out into the gardens where we went later on.

Traditional "Domkoek" on the left + a biscuit & Cinnamon tea <3

After lunch, we ventured out into the cold to see the gardens!

We couldn't help taking pictures as it's such a lovely place :3

It looks like Marloes is floating haha, no legs!

The 3 of us managed to squeeze into one picture :3

Damiën & I

We didn't take any single pictures because we were freezing to death,

so I'm going to write my Outfit Rundown below!

~•* Outfit *•~

Hat - Gift from a lady who bought it in 1943

Rose Clip - H&M

Faux-fur Stole - H&M

Blouse - Primark

JSK - Emily Temple cute

Tights - Primark

Shoes - Primark

Bag - muchacha achachumu

After visiting the Cathedral, it was nearly time to go home already. 

However, we couldn't resist getting some Bubble Tea first!

Damiën is a total addict, it was his second one that day already!

Bubble Tea - Mine had a cute monkey on it!

Managed to get my tea fix as well, haha!

I always get my tea in a shop called Xenos.

One packet of 10 tea bags only cost about €0,50!

I do love a good bargain, haha :3

My tea tower - Melon, Oriental, Apple & Cinnamon, Vanilla, Raspberry, Cherry & Cranberry!

 Then it was sadly time to hit the road again!

I had a really great day and I'd like to 

thank Damiën & Marloes for making time for me.

Thanks guys, I love you <3

I'll leave you with a picture of me in the car, lol!

Bye bye, back to the freezing north of The Netherlands!
(the hat is from Juicy Couture)

Thanks for reading <3

See you soon!

[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 (^-^)..

[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!

Photo by Intrinsically Florrie

Veil - Baby, the Stars Shine Bright

Wig - Mermaid Beachy by Lockshop

Jacket - Bebe

Jumperskirt - Juliette et Justine

Overknee Socks - eBay

Shoes - Vivienne Westwood x Melissa

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,

[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!
