The Met Gala for UK Lolitas

I'm not usually into Hollywood and celebrities but every year I get really excited for the Met Gala and what everyone wears. As I went through various articles looking at what everyone wore, I drew a comparison to the annual Tea Party Club events.

Four outfits in one night! My Queen!

Now, now. I know they are two very separate things but for me, it's kind of like the Met Gala in the sense that there's a theme and because it's my biggest event of the year, I always feel like I want to get really creative with it!

Now that I think about it, I took TPC 10 ft AP - Dream Masquerade Carnival real seriously. I made two mood boards that I thought fit the theme of 'Dream Masquerade Carnival' - one gothic and one sweet.  



To be honest, I don't own anything gothic and I don't think it's possible for me to wear gothic lolita and not look like a chibi vampire so I went with the sweet interpretation. 

Because Angelic Pretty were going to be the main guest, I decide to wear my only sweet AP dress and a true icon - Whipped Magic! With this dress in mind, I made a firm decision to go as sweet as I could physically manage!


This was the final coord and the sweetest I have ever been and possibly the sweetest I will ever look!

JSK - Angelic Pretty
Blouse - Anna House
Socks - Taobao 
Shoes - CITTA
Wig - DreamHolic
Hairbow - Angelic Pretty
Cupcakes - After Midnight

What do you think of my comparison of TPC events to the Met Gala? Can you see where I'm coming from?

    Aw, I miss TPC events now - they definitely were the UK lolita equivalent of the Met Gala. Although our outfits were always more on point than some of the celebrities (they did super well last year with Heavenly Bodies and yet this year so many were just disappointing).

      Aha! I'm glad you think so too Paulina!
      Right? I was disappointed this year! We are generally VERY good at coordinating and being on theme!

Comfy Coords - Lockdown Edition

Image
Going to meets is my main source of human interaction outside of work and besides the occasions where Eden and Persie come round and have dinner with me, it’s the only socailising I do so the current situation has left me feeling a little… lost? I feel like my frilly weekends are quite a big part of my life so having them removed feels strange. However, I am going to do my best to not abandon my frills for the duration of this lockdown just because I’m not going to a meet! We’ve tried to make virtual meets a thing and since I’m working from home, I’m trying to keep up with what I like to call ‘WfH: Frilly Edition’ but you can call it whatever you want! Since most of the time will be spent sitting and poking around my flat, comfort is key so here I wanted to share some of my comfy looks so far! JSK – ETC Cutsew –Taobao Socks – Anna House Necklace – Angelic Pretty Brooch – After Midnight First things first, nothing says comfy more than a cutsew! That’s probably why ...

Remote Twinning - The haberdashery is open!

Image
Welcome to another edition of remote twinning where Christina and myself twin in a dress featuring dresses that we have talking about for years! This dress by Meta is my favourite WfH dress because it's so comfy! I have also been informed that the other cut is ALSO mega comfy! I called this dress 'Princess Wardrobe' but apparently it's called 'Lace Up Doll'... does it have multiple names??? Once again, our wardrobes have little in common (it is now common fact that not many people own the things that I do ^^') we tried to pull together similar elements including a short sleeved blouse with peter pan collar, lace legs and out hair in buns! 'The haberdashery is now open!'  In honour of The Great British Sewing Bee (episode 1 was 22nd April!) and the theme of the dress, we took sewing/ dressmaking themed photos and I Photoshopped us together in a sewing room which we wished was ours! It was hard to get the right lighting ...

ZJ Story 2020 Preview Tea Party

Image
I first became aware of this preview tea party when the super gorgeous YamiHoshi posted snippets on their Instagram story and then I saw more photos from Chinese Lolita Updates  which excited me so I wanted to share my pick of pics (you can see them all if you follow the link to Chinese Lolita Updates' post) and my thoughts on them and hopefully you'll enjoy them! Ooo! This is SO aesthetically pleasing! Well! That's the first peeks of the venue and styling of the tea party. There's not an excess of pictures that I've come across but these are more than enough to sell it to me. Just that first picture and I am there! I know as a community a lot of us wish to go to the big brand tea parties (remember that crazy fancy one for AP in Shanghai?) but some Chinese brands are really pulling out the stops and I would 10/10 go to this!   So let's see the goods!!!  Please click the pictures to enlarge for the finer details! Ooo! Yes! YES! This is so ...
