Winter ILD

For my first Winter International Lolita Day a meet was hosted at Dicken's on the Strand in Galveston. It was my first time attending this event so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.

Since Lolita is a "Victorian style" fashion we were able to get in half price (who doesn't love a perk like that for wearing Lolita xP) It was great time and though I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked (because I tend to forget to charge my camera. lol). Here are the pictures I did get :)

First set is during the Queen's Parade

These look like soooo much fun



This guy's pimp!

The Queen

Pretty Horse

And some carolers

They have some awesome costumes <3

It was a really cold day. We walked around a lot and stopped in a café for a bit to warm up and chat. Overall it was a really great time. I wouldn't mind going again next year. Here are a couple of pictures one of our members took too, since my camera was dying. You can check out her page (Demonic Angel Cosplay & Photography) for more pictures of that day and some awesome cosplays ^^

Group Picture. Surprisingly no pastels in sight xD (Wish I had taken off my scarf for this picture though ><)

Coord Shot

JSK/Bonnet: Baby the Stars Shine Bright
Everthing else it off-brand

On our way home we decided to meet up with some of the other Lolitas that had stayed in town

(we had 2 meets going on that day so more people could come out)

I did my first purikira. It was so much fun! I really want to do it again

Then we went and ate somewhere. Here's a group picture of us <3

Me, Markie, Pengu, Theresa, Kate and Becky

And a beautiful one to leave you with

NASA Meet

Sometime in July we had our NASA meet. Eveyone in our community really had been looking forward to this (really we had planned it more than 3 months in advance ><) lol. Since I have so many pictures to share, I'll try to keep my commentary short ^^

Noelle and Amber

Theresa, Brook and Samantha

Classic Beauties <3

Jessamyn and Sarah

Isabelle and Norma

We had so many people in our group that we filled up our own train car, EVERY SINGLE SEAT!!!

Control Room O.O

And here are some group shots of us. Everyone looked awesome

HLC 4 LYFE!!!

And a bonus Jojo posing shot. lol

And here's my full coord shot. I really wish I had tried it on beforehand because there are things I would have changed (like peaking bloomers XD). Oh, well. Live and learn ><

Blouse: Bodyline
Dress: Hell Bunny
Socks: Sock Dreams

 

Markie is so awesome!

The lovely as usual couple: Aaron and Becky

And some more group shots <3

Stephany

And Pengu with the gift I made her for her birthday. I'm so glad she liked it and is currently using it.

They're like twins *^*

And some other pictures I took before we left

We're so beautiful ;3; lol

It was nice to finally meet Amber. We had chatted on FB before and we carpooled together. She is so nice ^^

My husband joined us for this meet (which is why I have so many pictures with me actually in it - Thanks!) but we both had a great time. I hope we can go there again because there was so much to do and see. I mean it is SPACE!!!! lol

That's all for now folks...

Pengu's Bday

Back in July one of our members put together a meet up for her birthday at one of my favorite places, Genji's; which is a Japanese restaurant and karaoke bar. I didn't get many pictures since we were jammed pack in our room. But I was lucky to get these group pictures; unfortunately some of the other guests left before them so many faces were missing :(

Trying to give just a hint of cuteness

Back (L to R): Markie, Isabelle, Becky, and Me
Front (L to R): Alys, Hina, Pengu and Lillian

Ok, not sure how much longer we can contain our cuteness

Cuteness can't be contained anymore.....

Ohhhhh LAWD!!!!!!!!

I decided to not put my whole coord shot because to be honest I wasn't quite happy with it and my hair was a mess. I attempted to tease it so I could add volume and offset my huge headbow but after 30 minutes I admitted defeat and just left as is >< When am I going to learn that practice makes perfect? Seriously, practice everything you want to eventually do. Whether it be a hairstyle, make up or even singing. lol

 And a bonus picture of the beautiful birthday girl.

 She's such a cutie and sweetheart <3

Well until next time.... Angel Brite
