Quick Update ♪ French Cafe

As I stated in an earlier post, I like to combat my lack of funds to buy lolita by buying smaller, inexpensive pieces. Case and point: This cute French Cafe (bento?) bag. I beleive it was given out at an Angelic Pretty tea party but I bought it off the egl_comm sales. I really love the print, and this bag allows my to have a piece of the series (it's actually my third piece... I also have the postcard and necklace) for less than 10% the cost of the dress.

I'm glad there is a full print of this biscuit, my favorite part of the print!

I also bought two cute San-X watches for daily wear ♪ (I'm too worried about damaging my Innocent World watch to wear it daily and I like digital watches because I'm lazy ^_^; )

Yay for Berry Puppy and Sentimental Circus!

I also bought this cute Bunka doll clip/brooch from LemonTree11.
Her online picture did not do it justice!

I love cute notes ♥

Thanks for looking!

The girl who sold me the necklace also included the stamp card and flier she got from the AP San Francisco store~  I also got a white Bodyline blouse (in the wash now) and I'm still waiting on a French Cafe bento bag and Lowry's blouse.

That's all for now :)

Lolita Meme Day Three

Day 3 – 10 things you hate about lolita.

I hope not to offend anyone, these are just my personal tastes u_u;;

1.  Head fascinators (sp), the ones with giant feathers and flowers, I think they look silly and out of place.
2. A-symmetrical clothing designs, not for me. 
3. Leopards prints (that's just clothing in general though)
4. The body image and self esteem problems that come with not having a 65 cm waist or 90 cm bust. 
5. How expensive petticoats are, I mean, it's invisible fluff! 
6. Black and white coordinates. They are very hard to pull off without going all-out old school. 
7. Bright or overly busy colors and prints. 
8. Teeny, tiny shoes (I've seen just one pair of shoes in my size for sale on the egl_comm - I wear a US 11 T_T )
9. Little hats.
10. Character prints. Not a fan of Star Wars and My Little Pony prints.

Scrapbooking Practice

I took some advice I recieved on what to do with my small collection of postage stamps and started a small scrapbook! I thought it was a good way to put small trinkets and scraps of paper that I had been holding onto to good use. I purchased the book at a home goods store (blank craft paper). I took advantage of my small stamp collection, as well as ribbons, deco tape, doilies, stickers, coins, polaroids, lace and other pretty bits (oh and a bit of doodling, I can draw better than this I swear, I just wanted it to look a bit whimsical). Here is what I have done so far. I think it has a nice vintage feel ♪♫♪

Bonus: a cute handmade chick strap I bought at a Thai restaurant. Cheep~
