Why they're called the BIBLES ;D

Haha, so...i have...18 Imported Gothic Lolita Bibles...& the 5 English ones...& I still want more XD

But...the reason I buy them is to see outfit ideas...especially w/ prints that I have ^^

And...to prove my point, I was looking through the "Christmas" issue vol 27(imported)...for ideas for xmas coords...when...I managed to find a lovely picture of the new JSK i just got :D  

It's IW's "Sweets Teddy Bear" print & I have this JSK in black...as well as the shopping tote pictured on the bottom ^^  I had a hard time finding out the name of the print b/c it's an Xmas Fair print ;)  The only "problem" is now I REALLY want that matching handbag...sigh... XD

 Here's a picture of the color i have & a nice winter coord idea ^^  

&...here's my recent outfit when I went out w/ my wonderful Lolita friends :D

 I just got a high collar red blouse @ goodwill recently, so i wore it w/ the JSK to bring out the red elements...& then I don't have too many Lolita hair accessories, but berets always seem very IW to me ^_^

I *heart* H.Naoto ^_^

My friend recently went to San Francisco & she asked what I wanted...so of course I decided to ask for something from the newly opened H.Naoto store in SF ^_^  I checked the online site & found the perfect little bag that I wanted, so I told her & hoped that she would be able to find it...&...SHE DID!!! XD

 Super cute h.Naoto Frill cross-body bag ^_^ I just LOVE the bow!

 Close-up of design ^^

 There were also pockets on both sides

 It 's just a bag w/ a simple velcro'd flab closure, but the inside's pretty spacious ^^

 The back 

 & lastly, me wearing it to show the size ^^  

I was dressed Dolly-Kei that day, but the bag still totally matches XD

Dream Print from Wishlist: Part 2 ^_^

My 2nd Wishlist dress came from browsing Closet Child...it was being sold for much cheaper b/c it was slightly damaged...but you can't even tell ;D

Since ordering from CC can be pretty expensive...my friend & I decided to do a group order to hopefully cut down on the shipping...& It worked out pretty well ^^  I was so worried that shipping would be super expensive, but it turned out to be cheaper than i thought XD

And the whole transaction went really well ^_^  Warning: Many pics ahead ;D

 Package took about a week to come...although i was getting antsy since it was EMS...somehow i thought it would be even faster, but then Thanksgiving & all...sigh...i'm just glad it came XD

 Our 2 items packaged together securely in a plastic bag...they even tape the package to the box...smart ^^

 My friend's item...

 & Mine ^_^

 My Beautiful new dress: BTSSB Paris Window JSK in Lavender ^_^

  Purple's my favorite color, so it was really weird I didn't have any pretty purple Lolita outfits...but now i got one XD  & The print on this is absolutely Gorgeous ^^ 

A quick coord ^_^  I already had cute lavender bows that match PERFECTLY ^^ & I'm wearing my Cake jewelry, which was also from Closet Child :D  I originally had the OP version on my wishlist, but JSKs have many more coord possibilities ;)  I might even wear this for Loliday...might add a few more accessories though ^^ 

Dream Print from Wishlist: Part 1 ^_^

So, I started my Lolita Wishlist as a way to quickly view prints I really like...but I'd never actually think I'd be able to find any of them...& just recently, I managed to take 2 dream prints off my list XD

First, I found a super cute Innocent World Teddy Bear JSK on the comm sales...& I had one before, but the color didn't match me as well, so I sold it...to buy another one...& the new one matches me A LOT more ^_^

 Not sure of the name, but I think it's IW's Sweets Teddy Bear JSK in black ^_^

 & the seller added the matching tote bag (which is way too big, but i'm gonna alter it eventually ^^)

 It also has the Cutest bow belt ^_^

 Not the best coord, but I was wearing a red shirt when I got my dress, so I just tried it on like that...maybe a casual style ;P

I had to do a payment plan for this dress, but it was TOTALLY worth it...it's super pretty & has lots of coord possibilities ;)

RTBU Loot ^_^

The Ebay store, RTBU (Refuse to be Usual) has some AWESOME stuff ^^ 

With a mixture of Punk, Goth & Lolita items XD

I've bought a cute Fairy Kei pony dress from them before & the service is really good w/ super fast shipping :)

This time, my order consisted of something I needed for a photoshoot...& since I was ordering from there anyways...I "threw in" something else ^^

To give you an idea of the shipping...I ordered the items on a Wed night...they were shipped out on Fri...& then I got it by the following Mon/Tues ^_^  I got mine Tuesday b/c no one was home when they stopped by on Mon XP

 Securely wrapped up in a shoe box, which is a great packaging idea ^^

 My items: A super pretty white Lolita Bag ^_^ &...a punk mask...haha, it's for a shoot ;P

 Anyways, this is pretty much how the bag looked on the site & the quality is really good...w/ longer straps included inside ^^  Perfect for many Lolita outfits!

The only thing is prices can be a little expensive, but the quality is really good & they do have combined shipping XD

Ok, this turned out to be more of a "review" but I just really like this shop & i'd definitely order from them again ;D

*Next post will hopefully be about the new JSK i got from a seller off the comm sales...it's IW ^^

Latest Bodyline purchase ^_^

My friends & I just did a group Bodyline order...so...here's my loot ^^

 My purchases: 1 skirt, 1 pair of socks, a necklace & a mirror

 I'm totally into the military style now, so when i saw this print & design i HAD to have it XD

Then, i got some socks to match ;)

A short review: When i first put on the skirt, i couldn't zip it up...but that's b/c they tie the laces super tight...after undoing them, the shirring could stretch & i could zip it up :)  But i've noticed these high waist ones are really snug...so can't eat too much...sigh...too bad I just LOVE this style ^_^

 And now a quick coord : Ok, since for some strange reason i have no Red or White head accessories O_O  I just stuck a red ribbon in my hair...sigh...but I intend to make something to match this of course :D

 The socks are SUPER CUTE ^^ & they're sooo cheap...i even don't mind that there's pink on them ;)

 Another thing i had to get was this epic necklace...it matches perfectly w/ my treasure chest ring XD

 

 Lastly...a pretty mirror :)  Only b/c i'm tired of trying to do my makeup w/ only my little compact :/

This one folds up too, so it's easy to transport ^^  The only thing is the glass isn't covered...but i think i'll try to find a good pouch to store it in.

I'm always happy & satisfied w/ my Bodyline purchases & even though the items are getting more expensive, I think the quality is getting a lot better too, so it's worth it XD

I'm also really excited to start making accessories to go w/ my new skirt & hopefully I can wear it to go see The Nutcracker Ballet :D

Lolita Jewelry ^^

Alright, so i noticed...I haven't really done many Lolita posts O_O  sigh.... SO, here it is, my post geared towards Loli ^^

So, I love looking @ the accessories, especially the jewelry that goes along w/ brand prints...but of course they're expensive :/  & for a while i thought i could hopefully one day get something...but then...i would see really cute "lolita-ish looking" necklaces @ retail stores, like Icing & Forever21 ^_^

Then again, I guess the quality's not there...but anyways, here are some examples:

 A cute mask necklace to go w/ my AATP Masquerade Theater: found @ Icing

 

 

 Bear necklace to go w/ IW British Bear...I'm trying to sell this dress, but the necklace would match other bear prints ^^ :found @ Forever21

 Cinderella's carriage ^_^  Of course i don't have a Cinderella print...yet... ;D

This was also found @ Forever21 & unlike Icing, the jewelry @ F21 is pretty cheap ;)

And lastly, I just found this pretty Pegasus necklace @ Papaya clothing...price wasn't too bad either.

& now it matches my Carousel print skirt ^^

I've also seen little rabbits, bows, foods...& other really cute random things that would be super cute w/ Loli prints XD
