Recreating My Cringe Coords: Sugary Carnival

If you read my blog regularly, you know I used to own a really awful, crunchy replica of Angelic Pretty's Sugary Carnival skirt in black. I wore one coord with that replica, to an anime convention in 2014. I bought the Dream of Lolita branded replica skirt in 2013 from a lolita on Tumblr of …

2023 Coordinate Recap

TBT: My First “Real” Coord

We all have those coords we put on only to wear at home, or just to experiment with the few items we had. Maybe even mixing in a lot of non-lolita items just to feel like we had an outfit. But then there's your first "real" coord. The one you put together and actually wore …

Pastoral Picnic Meet Recap

A member of my regional comm hosted a beautiful picnic meet up on the last weekend of the Lilac Festival at Highland Park.

Highland Park 2023

If you've been following me for a while, you'll know that every May I try to make it to the Lilacs at Highland Park. Last year, we got rained out and were unable to attend - in addition I was having a bad mental health day so it just wasn't a good time. This year …

2022 Coordinate Recap

Sunflower Spectacular Meet-up Recap

This weekend I hosted a small casual meet with my regional comm at Wickham Farm's annual Sunflower Spectacular. A 12-acre field of more than 30 sunflower varieties with lots of photo stops along the way! I thought it would be a cute fun place to meet up, grab lunch, and get some awesome photos. Unfortunately, …

TBT: My First Meet-Up

I was recently inspired by ohsewblack to make a post about my very first lolita meet up. Read her post here about her preparing for her first meet and building her first coord. The story made me nostalgic and I realized I did not blog back in 2018 so I never posted about my first …

Planning Lolita Coords

I have been thinking recently about how lolitas plan their coords. How many people make up coords on the fly? Pick them out the day before a meet? Or, like me, have hundreds of pre assembled coords made up in an app or power point? How do others make sure they're wearing all their pieces …
