30 Day: Day 13 : A picture of your favorite sweets

What are these yummy delicious things, you ask? Well, these are my absolute favorite thing to bake! Here's the recipe for them. I've lost count of the number of times I've made these, and if I bake them at home, they're gone in like three days! Although at school I don't think they'll last much longer... I had a full plate when I made them yesterday! I ran out of dark chocolate kisses, and so I added coca powder into the dough on the second batch, which is why some of them are really dark. I started making these last year, and they've been a huge hit both in and out of the house ever since. Also, the best part, THEY'RE GLUTEN AND DAIRY FREE!

52 Week: My favorite Lolita brand

So, I don't own any actual brand items (not even accessories at the moment...) but looking at the brand items that are on my wishlist...

... I think it's pretty obvious it's Innocent World!

A lot of their dresses, especially prints, just seem to scream that they're something that should definitely be in my closet. Also, judging from the Lolibrary measurements (that's where these pictures are from, by the way) I can actually fit in all of these, which is great! In general, I like Innocent World's general aesthetic, even more than Mary Magdalene, which was the brand that I dreamed about when I first started checking out Lolita.

30 Day: Day 12 : A picture of yourself before lolita came in to your life.

I'm going to do Day 11 soon, I promise! I just haven't actually had time to wear lolita recently, but I'll do this next week!

This was me at my first convention! I was a sophomore in high school. I went to the convention (Sunday only with my mom) specifically to meet M. Alice LeGrow (who I'm standing next to.) I went back this far in my pictures because I know for sure that, at this point, I hadn't even heard of lolita. My senior year of high school was when I started to do research.

30 Day: Day 10 : What’s in your bag?

Since the last post was so short, I decided to do this one today, too! (Also, it'll probably be pretty short, too.)

1. 3 receipts

2. My Totoro wallet

3. An audio cable

4. The working part of my radio (my car radio is one of those where the front part comes off.)

5. An emergency phone charger

6. A pen

7. Two mechanical pencils

8. An old church bulletin

That's it! Nothing terribly exciting, I'm sorry.  

52 Week: My wardrobe turnover...

... Is not very high!

I'm still in the building stages of my wardrobe, and so it'll be a very long time before anything is sold. But right now, so that I can get things and still have actual money, I'm aiming for at least 1 new dress a year, and then I can get smaller pieces like blouses or socks/shoes or accessories to bulk up my wardrobe a touch.

30 Day: Day 9 : 10 things you will never do in lolita.

Hmmm... I'm not a big fan of "never" as far as fashion goes, so this is my "likely never's" but it could change. Keep in mind, this is based off of what I personally don't like/don't think looks good on me. There are a lot of prints and styles that look absolutely fantastic on other people, but that I wouldn't wear myself.

1. Wear food prints. (I don't wear it out of lolita either...)

2. Wear makeup prints. (Again, not a fan of it on me.)

3. Wear super bright/colorful wigs (Other people look super cute, though! I prefer natural colors for me)

4. Use elaborate makeup (although this could change)

5. Go very OTT on anything (It's just not my style)

6. Wear big headresses (I like to keep mine a little more low key)

7. Wear lolita to an amusement park (I can see why other people do it... but I'd be too nervous!)

8. Wear super high heeled shoes (the heels I have are tall enough)

9. Wear shoes with a lot of straps (this is mostly because of my lymphedema... I really can't wear lots of straps!)

10. Spend over $200 on a dress. Full coordinate, maybe, but once the price hits the $200 mark, I start thinking of all the other things I could do with the money/other lolita items I could spend the money on.
