Bringing back Lolita

As I mentioned in my last post, I hardly find time for Lolita these days, and by that I don't mean only wearing it, but also reading the blogs, writing my blog, keeping up with new releases etc. The only thing I still do on weekends is looking at the valentines and secrets. It's just a habit that I didn't get out of my system luckily :D
But now that I had some free days and time to scroll through everything that I missed, I realised how much I actually miss it.
So I decided to bring it back into my life by at least writing about it regularly. And since we all know that I have a hard time with that "regular"-part, I do it with a little help from Caro-chan who initiated the Lolita 52 Challenge.

52 topics/questions to write about for 52 weeks. Every week I pull one out of the box and tell you my opinion on it, or show you pictures or whatever the topic requires. Join in if you want to!

So let's get on with it, my first topic is:

Hm... I'm not really sure if I have a favourite hairstyle. I am always amazed by those opulent hairstyles with tons of roses and accessories that you sometimes see from photoshoots (mostly in Classic Lolita).
When it comes to myself though, I just don't have time to make these :D Somehow I always end up being late for meet-ups, because I spend too much time on make-up or I start too late with the preparations.
Most times I end up with making a simple pigtail with the top portion of my hair because it's quick, easy and looks elegant. So I guess you could say that's my favourite hair style...
If I have the time I also make little braids out of the top hair before I make the pigtail, like I did here:

I also love curls, but I just have naturally wavy hair that is really thick and does what it wants, so it's hard to make curls that last as long as they should. For our fairytale meet-up last year I wanted to have curly hair and it looked really great in the beginning but despite the hairspray, they turned out more and more wavy after less than an hour. But it still looked good and better than if I hadn't even tried to make curls:

Blurry, overexposed picture is blurry and overexposed -.-

For our nerdy meet-up I wanted to do something very different and made my hair extremely curly and added tons of hairspray. Then I kind of tied them together around my head. It didn't look very flattering, but it was fun nonetheless:

Okay, so this turned out not only to be about my favourite hairstyle, but I hope you won't mind. General information: I usually keep it simple :D


As a little "bonus" I show you some pictures of me from our last meet-up.
I lost quite a bit of weight through my job, so my blouse looks kind of saggy on me and the shirred waistband of the Meta-skirt also looks kind of weird, but oh well. I still liked my outfit:

Let's hear it for derpy face :D

So that's it and see you next week :D

An outfit and shopping

A few days ago I met with Sophie in the city and this is what I wore. Nothing special but I thought I'd share it with you because I wore my new shoes, my new necklace and my new bag ^^

Bad photo is bad... or maybe I'm just ugly XD Look at my arm, it's monstrous O.o

Today the weather was so nice here in Dresden that we just had to leave the house ^^ And we wanted to get some things, so we (my boyfriend and me by the way <3) went shopping.
We bought quite a few things for our flat and some uninteresting stuff (and some nice new clothes for Stefan), so I just show you the things I find best:

Sweeeets <3 Some sherbert bonbons and Jelly Bellies *yummy*
The flip-flops perfectly match my blue summer dress (although now there is even less black in this outfit *gnnnn*) and now that summer is nearly over (although it feels like we never had summer here in Germany this year) they only cost 2€!
Then there's a cool striped sweater underneath the whole stuff (it's blue by the way, the photo looks quite purple-ish on my screen) and a matching nailpolish.
And finally a liptint. It's the Perfect Stay by Astor and it was recommended to me by Mimi because I really don't like the way conventional lipstick feels on your lips. I tried it out in the store and it really feels a lot better. In fact, you don't feel it at all XD I picked a shade that is very close to my natural lip colour because I mainly want to make my lips look even. In particular the sides of my upper lip are always so pale, they are almost blue :/ Now I just have to practice applying it because I was always bad at applying lipsticks and this one's even a little harder because it's like a felt tip but I think it'll work with some practise ^^

And furthermore, the Bodyline sale has finally arrived ^^ Sophie wants to order some things and asked if I want to have something, too, so I take this one in green:

I've had my eye on this for quite some time and even though I don't fit into the corset-thingy I thought it was about time to take a shot at it ^^

I hope you also enjoyed the good weather today! (that is, if the weather was good, where ever you are ^^)
