Places I’d Like to Go | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

I didn’t really feel like doodling anything so I will just list my top 5 places I want to go!

1.) Tokyo

It’s really cliche for someone into jfashion to want to go to Tokyo but there are so many things I want to do in Tokyo that relate to so many of my interests, I do karate, love anime and wear jfashion so there would be so many places I want to go. I genuinely think I would need at least a month in Japan to get through even half of the things I want to do there

2.) Montreal

This one is super accessible to me due to only living two hours away , however any of my attempts to go are cursed I swear, everytime I have tried to go something has come up. I really really want to visit the biodome and the goth club they have up there.

3.) Paris

I have been before but I wasn’t able to stay long and it would be amazing to bring my fiance there with me so that I could enjoy it with him, I would love to see more of the Louvre one day! I only got to see a sliver of it! I found an amazingly tiny stone frog.

4.) Boston

This is also a super accessible destination but I think due to quarantine I have been dreaming of places that I could actually feasibly go to once this is all over. I love the historical aspect of boston and all of the museums! I so badly want to go to the Boston Aquarium and go museum hopping for a long weekend

5.) New York

There are so many cute fashionable places in New York City and I would love to take a fun content creating weekend there finding all of these cute cafe’s and saving up the photos for my instagram and getting to just experience lots of different themes and vibes in a short period of time

My Favorite Lolita Brand | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

My favorite brand is Fanplusfriend! I was too tired to put in a full coord today as I was helping my mom move into her new house today, I wore this was a simple black skirt,

FanPlusFriend is the very first Lolita fashion brand I ever bought from!!! I got my TARDIS skirt from there and by the time I saved up enough money they were out of my size, but when I messaged them they made one more skirt for me, sadly I need to get the zipper fixed as it broke due to being well loved.

Learn a New Word | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

I used wordsmith.org for the word of the day, I got the word pensum which autocorrect doesn’t recognize as a word even though the dictionary assures me that it is, it apparently means a task, especially given as a punishment. It seems like quite the sophisticated word! I could see it being used in a historical novel for a young girl complaining about chores

Dress Releases when I first Started EGL | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

So I used the very scientific method of googling brand names with the year, I mainly found Angelic Pretty

It’s honestly really interesting to see these dresses! When I first got into Lolita Fashion I wasn’t really interested in the big brands that much, my first Lolita fashion love was FanPlusFriend and it still stands as my favorite brand till this day. I wasn’t super aware of these specific dresses when I joined the fashion

It was also difficult to pinpoint when I joined the fashion but I decided to go with when I got my first piece which was 2015, I joined my local comm in late 2016

I find it interesting that I didn’t actually pay these dresses much mind at the time given the fact almost all of the people I was following at the time we’re really into 2010s sweet and my wardrobe just ended up being quite gothic to start with. I now really enjoy all the sub styles but seem to gravitate towards sweet the most

Lolita Valentine’s! | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

For this post I am going to share some of the amazing content creators I have discovered and have been loving recently!

First off is Kimbuucha on YouTube! Her channel is highly underrated she has wonderfully high production value and a charming no nonsense attitude if you have never seen her work I highly recommend you go check her out! I connected with her through both of us doing Vlogmas last year!

Secondly is the Stitchess! She isn’t strictly an egl creator but brings a much needed voice about sustainability and practicality to the Lolita fashion sphere on YouTube along with several videos well researched on the history of a variety of Kawaii subcultures and styles

Next is Sweetie Sprout! She is absolutely adorable and always has her makeup on point and recently put out an extremely helpful tutorial on how to tie bows properly

I also had recently found Pearlie Cute who’s content I enjoy greatly! I appreciate her clearly spoken and well worded video with her own views on the fashion and community

Cupcake Kamisama has also made an incredibly helpful series on her channel where she talks about the more in depth aspects of coording to help take your coords to the next level which I highly reccommend

This is only a handful of the wonderful Lolita fashion YouTubers you can find! What’s awesome is all of the YouTubers I have listed are currently active and worth checking out! Happy Valentine’s!

Favorite Childhood Story | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

Looks like I’m playing catch up again! Hopefully I can integrate working on this into my schedule more successfully in the future.

So the book I chose to read again is “Stand Back, Said the Elephant, I am Going to Sneeze” this was a favorite book growing up due to me inheriting my father’s sneeze, given my interests and personality one would think that I would sneeze daintily like a princess. I do not, I sneeze one of the loudest sneezes, it’s like a yell. So my mom A, bought this book when I was little cause it reminded her of my dad and I with our gigantic sneezes, it was delightful reading it again and the illustrations are hilarious it’s so sweet, simple and funny.

I also really badly wanted to be a Zoologist as a kid, I changed my mind when I was older as I wanted to focus on helping humans more which is how I ended up getting into forms of social work. I still have a really special place in my heart for wild animals though

Watching Homemade Lolita Video | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

I have been watching “ homemade” Lolita videos almost every day, I love being a part of the Lolita fashion youtube space and have had an incredible time interacting with smaller creators. Right now I am writing this on my phone but a dream of mine for this blog is to have a page that is a master list of Lolita fashion content creators on YouTube. It’s really informative, fun and wonderful to see such a wide range of perspectives on topics in the fashion. I love learning how to better care for my clothes and try to participate in the fashion in a long term way. I really love the Stitchess for her emphasis on avoiding materialism and contributing to being a voice on sustainability in Lolita fashion which is an interesting topic which I have written an earlier post on this blog about! I also love watching Asami Moon because it’s great to see another currently active lifestyle Lolita which seems to be getting rarer these days. This past December I discovered Kimbuucha’s channel which has some of the most beautiful looking footage I have seen, it has great production value and she herself is amazing. This is literally just a handful of the YouTubers I love and watch, this also is just the kick in the butt I need to actually make that page!

Look at Early Lolita Webstores | 365 Lifestyle Lolita Challenge

Once again this is another challenge that I’m not 100% sure what it means but I’ll check out maybe an early version of AP’s website using the way back machine? Let’s see if that gets anything

I actually did get something! It’s really cool to see the earliest saved version, I’m going to try baby next

Baby’s website seems to have the exact same layout as it does now!
