LBC: Personal Lolita Goals for 2015



After my loooong hiatus from this group...I got lazy b/c I have my Ipad now, so I rarely go on the computer ;) But anyways, I figured I should At Least do my goals for next year ^^

So, here we go:

1) Update this blog AT LEAST once a month.  I've been sooo lazy lately & it's not that the topics aren't interesting, but that I just prefer my Ipad & staying in my room to going on the computer in the living room (lazy, see?) But anyways, I buy things A LOT, so if anything I'll try to update with a quick post about my latest purchases (i should do one now actually)...

But ALSO, I now have a tumblr & twitter, so I upload things there & it's easier with the ipad...maybe this first goal should just be "TO NOT BE SO LAZY"...sigh...

2) Buy more "Coordinating pieces"
Things like 
blouses(I need brown and more Chiffon ones)
legwear(matching prints)
jewelry
and...most importantly...Headdresses!!
This was also my plan for this year & I got a few, but mainly bonnets & hats...I really want the more elaborate ones, like: 

bold colors & gold accents (would also match a lot of my pieces ^^ )


 And I'm seriously wanting one of these Veil headdresses...especially this AP one XD

3) UP my Makeup game ;)

And part of this is to get some nice Lolita colored contacts ^^

I have a lot of colored contacts, but they're mainly for cosplaying & are often too bright for my subtleness of Lolita...so maybe getting a nice pale blue or hazel would be good to try with my Lolita outfits ;D

My makeup is very tame: eye liner, eye shadow, mascara &/or false lashes, blush & lipgloss...but I'd like to work on trying more doll-like makeup with maybe "making double lids" or having a more natural look (gotta study all my "Bibles" (Gothic Lolita Bibles) ^^

 Or maybe just to experiment more ^^

4) Invest in more underskirts.
I'm offiicially in love with the long petticoats that add extra layers to a dress, so I'd like to get a nice long one maybe in different colors. 



I wouldn't mind getting one of Lief's ones since I like the alternating colors ^^

And Lastly, 
5) Get some practical bags for Lolita
I LOVE all the shaped bags...but...they don't hold much...and so, I'd like to try getting one of the school-ish type bags, like these:
 I desperately need a brown bag & This one is my FAVORITE XDD
I could have gotten it at a convention, but i bought other things instead...I really regret it now...

 
 And a nice Gold bag would match a big majority of my wardrobe ;)


I'm really liking these bags too if just for the shape, but even that last one I could bring to work ^^

Well, those are my goals & most of them have to do with me shopping for things (as usual)...but i'll try my best to stick to them this time...temptation is everywhere...

And now, here are some other Lolitas with their Goals for next year:


Sunday, December 7, 2014

Ok, well, I've been REALLY BAD about keeping up with this blog and all...mainly b/c since I got an Ipad Mini, I haven't really gone on my computer very much ;D

I'm generally a lazy person, so if i can look online & watch my anime in the comfort of my room, i prefer it XD

But anyways, a bunch of my friends starting blogging again, so I thought I should try to update more often too...and what better way to restart than to talk about INTERNATIONAL LOLITA DAY ^_^

Which was yesterday, but my computer was acting up, so doing the blog today ^^

Usually, our local Lolita group will set up a fun meetup for "ILD" as it's being phrased now, but...sadly, I wasn't able to go...

But! I still dressed up, so here we go ^_^
 
 My outfit for the day ^_^
I only went out for a bit, so I kept things casual ^^
This IW JSK is one of my favorites & I managed to snag the matching bear purse in pink, so after finding the perfect pink blouse, I thought i'd try putting everything together ^^

I'm pretty happy with how it came out, but i wish i had some nice rose colored shoes...that would be perfect ;D

Anyways, so, the day's plans were to go to my Mom's friend's mini craft fair held at her house ^^
 And she likes to make these wooden decorations & ornaments that are sooo cute ^^
 She also makes these angels out of pods
 and I've seen her work before (my mom bought from her before & i got a mini shelf from her)
but this time, she had these really pretty boxes...
 and this Birdhouse, which totally called to me, but i don't know where i'd put it...
 and here are some closeups of what was on the table ^^
 This stand display is one of my favorites with her "Reach for the star" Hanging decorations ^^
 And then after that, we picked up some lunch & ate with my sister & nephew at their house ^^
My mom also bought her one of the Hawaiian Angel ornaments, so we gave that to her then ^^
 But, I bought myself one of the sunflower reach for the star hanging pieces & i found out that my sister has one from 25 years ago...& it's still in good condition ^_^
 But, my best find was this CUTE Bear Family set that was soo precious & cheap, I HAD to get it ^_^

Then, the rest of the day was just spent around my house, on my comp...until a bday party i had to go to at night...but b/c it was rather hot & sunny, my outfit changed from long sleeve to having no blouse & just wearing a short sleeve jacket over...it's hard wearing Lolita in Hawaii sometimes ;P
