Haul post :)

Hey :)!

This time I didn't want to let too much time pass until my next post; so, even though I haven't got any outfits to show you guys, I thought I might share some new purchases before the next Harajuku Fashion Walk :D

First of all, I want to show you the items I'm going to wear there. Among which, my lovely Marie Antoinette Portraits jsk by Krad Lanrete, which I've been waiting for for like six months and which finally arrived at my house!

It's so, so beautiful, you should see how it fits, I *love* it! For some reason all the pics in this post came out pretty yellowish, but it's actually pastel blue.
Together with the dress came these two super cute rings:

And I'm going to wear it with these other two recent purchases I bought from a friend.
The first one is a cardi by H. Naoto. It fits so perfectly I couldn't believe how lucky I was, getting it secondhand at a ridiculous price and looking so good in it XD (if I get to say this myself XD)

And then there's this pretty wig, which I bought from the same friend. It's perfect because it's also so Jessica Day, so I can wear it even outside lolita. But it's perfect for lolita either because it has full bangs and locks :D

These are all items I'm going to wear at the next HFW in Venice <3 but I don't want to completely spoil my outfit for you guys XD so, onto the proper haul :D

Yesterday morning my mother and I went downtown to "buy some face cream and hand cream" for me, since I've always refused to put on any on my skin and well, you can see the results, my skin kind of sucks. Especially since I live in Milan and the amount of smog, humidity and dirt I receive on a daily basis has significantly increased. So I thought I might start using some protection.
Somehow, we ended up buying me these two super expensive creams:

A Chanel fragrance and a Lancome make-up remover for my mom, and then two more super-expensive products for me: eye-liner and mascara.

Then we got out of that perfume shop, and headed straight to Terranova, where I found a really nice denim jacket. Who doesn't own a denim jacket, now that the 90s are so aggressively back? I want to buy *so* many a-line colourful dresses to match it with!

And my mother bought herself a pair of leggings and a t-shirt.
We got out of that shop too and I saw it.
It.
THE bag.
The bag I've been waiting for my whole life.

I just. I can't. I don't. I've LOST MY ABILITY TO CAN.
I'd actually already eyed an almost identical bag, by the same TwinSet line, but I didn't really like the background colour (I was looking for white, beige or cream, and that one was kind of rose), and I was so sad because it had the perfect shade and the perfect combination of classy and romantic.
And then I found out there were other colours and, well. I love dots to death.
I literally saw it on a window, pointed it out and screamed:
"That one! Mum! THAT BAG is the one! It's the bag I've been looking for all this time!"

You know, there's this thing about me that if something does not COMPLETELY convince me in every single little detail, I'm not going to buy it. It might be something apparently meaningless, and my mom's always like "come on, you look good, what's wrong with that poor jacket" but it's pointless to even try. I'm not going to buy it.
BUT. When I see something that really, REALLY convinces me, there's no way to stop me from having it. You can see it right away because my eyes widen, my mouth opens and my voice trembles.
I don't waste my money on stuff I don't completely like, but I'm more than ready to spend any amount of money on the stuff I really do like.

Also, since my mother was in a good mood, she decided to also buy me the matching wallet.

I have to say I actually needed a bag and a wallet; the one I bring to university is shredded and my wallet is so little I'm surprised it hasn't exploded yet - it was about time I bought something that wasn't falling into pieces, for the weekends and stuff.

Then, on the way home, we saw a very cute shop with the loveliest dress on its window. My mother suggested we got in and I tried that dress on; she found a pair of pants and a t-shirt, and I found one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever had <3

I've never had such an elegant dress. I'll only be able to wear it in the summer since it has a cross back, but a friend of mine reassured me by telling me she's going to graduate in July, so I'm going to have the perfect occasion (actually there's my birthday too, but there I'm going to wear something more edgy :D).

By the way, this beauty's causing me a lot of pain! I've been meaning to wear it at my travel to Strasbourg in a few weeks but then I reminded why I've never worn anything blue: it's impossible to match!
What colours go with that shade of blue ;_;? I thought white, dark red and maybe mustard, but I'm not sure. I'd like to wear it with a cardigan, tights and heels, but I really don't know how to match colours and besides I don't own anything in the shades aforementioned. Can you help me? I really, REALLY need advice, so maybe I can buy something before I leave!

And since all that wasn't enough XD on the afternoon I went downtown again and bought more stuff: a black eyeshadow by Urban Decay, a lipstick and a make-up remover by Sephora.

And finally a few accessories I bought a couple weeks ago: super colourful bracelet (right from the Nineties!) and very classic black earrings, to wear with stuff that is black but not goth XD.

As you can see, it's not like I'm standing there idle hands when I'm not posting XD!
I hope you liked my purchases <3 and I hope you're going to like my next outfit, awww, I can't wait to post it *_*!
Have a nice Sunday <3!

Classic Lolita photoset

Yesterday me and a friend (and a friend of hers) decided to match our outfits and to make a photoset of it :D. I happened to have her very same floral dress - since she was the one who sold it to me - and we tried to make a twin out of this.

Unfortunately, the light wasn't the best, but I still think the pics came out quite nice! <3

Let me know if you liked it ;D

[Yes, we were eating delicious macarons <3] 

[This one is my facebook profile pic now. Taken absolutely randomly a moment before I started screaming because the frickin' branch was filled with ants!]

[I love this pic where we are both laughing XD]

[The kuro lolita in the middle is the one who took the pictures of me and my friend. She was so good! And her outfit was pretty amazing <3.]

Wow!
This was my first twin, my first photoset and my first full classic lolita outfit. I like how it came out, and I can't wait for the next Harajuku Fashion Walk! I might be able to sport something even prettier by then… but that's a surprise <3!
Thank you for reading and have a nice Sunday! :*

Selling stuff again! :D

My darlings :D

As I told you last time, my style is evolving, which means that I need:
-more space in my wardrobe;
-more money to buy new stuff XD.
Which lead me to selling some of the newest and most beautiful pieces of my collection :D I still love them very much, but I'm also aware that it's not fair to their awesomeness to just let them hung there in my wardrobe. They deserve better. Maybe there's someone out there who can give them all the love that they need!

These are the new things I'm selling. Please note that the vast majority of my clothes have only been worn once (I usually sell stuff because I realize I don't use it, so it's practically new). If you need further details, measurement or worn pictures, feel free to ask!

1. Alcatraz corseted longsleeve top





Worn once; bought at €30, I'm selling it at €15 + shipment.


2. Alcatraz corseted top with lace sleeves

Worn maybe twice. Bought at €50, selling it at €25 + shipment.


3. H&R red and black lace corseted minidress

Worn once. Bought at €60, selling it at €40 + shipment.


4. Garcja damask dress

Worn once. Bought at €30, selling it at €15 + shipment.

5. Red flocked Hell Bunny minidress

Worn once.

Bought at €30, selling it at €20 + shipment.

And there's also other stuff I'm selling HERE, if any of you's interested :D!
I'm really sad about parting ways with these items, which are definitely among my favourite ones, but maybe they're meant to be happier with someone else. ;-;

Have a nice weekend ;*!

Back with new clothes ;D!

Hey :)!

It's been a while, huh?

I'm sorry I haven't been around, but I was very busy with my exams; also, major changes happened in my life and they're very likely to affect my future: my mind was elsewhere, I had to put fashion aside for a while.

This was my New Year's Eve outfit, for the record XD I know it's a wee bit late to show it to you, but I  really liked it and I wanted to share it ''XD

[I'm the one on the left]

There is something else that's going to be put aside for a while.
Yes, this is that talk :D the one where the blogger says she's going to take her distances from her usual style, probably for a while, or maybe forever, she doesn't know, but right know she doesn't feel the need to goth up and she would like to try on some mainstream clothes and see if she likes them.

It's not like this is the first time I get a little tired of corsets and fishnet hold-ups; it's happened in the past, and eventually goth started growing on me again; the difference is that then, even when I quitted goth for a while, I always kept dressing in total black. Now I want some colour in my life, and most of all, I want to be able to learn how to match colours again :D!
It's always been easy to combine clothes for me, since they were all black and they all belonged to the same style: now I want to find out how it is to match colourful, mainstream items together, and what my style might be if I wasn't an alternative.

According to the stuff I've bought by now, tuns out I'm quite the romantic.

Also, I've always been fascinated by Jessica Day's style in New Girl (actually, the next step might be getting bangs like hers, which is something I've been meaning to do for years).

Recently I even bought nerdy glasses like hers XD

Ok, so, you got it: a lot of a-line skirts and dresses, a lot of red/white/blue, or pastels sometimes, flats. It's not easy to pull out such outfits in the winter, but I guess I'm going to have to learn how to do this :D

I'm not sure what happened to me; recently I had begun to like classic lolita, which is quite far from the stuff I usually wear, and it's true that when spring comes I always feel the urge to buy colourful clothes, but this time is different. I have the feeling that it might last.
I guess I had always thought I couldn't have looked good in mainstream clothes, the ones the other girls wore: because the Other Girls were pretty, and they looked good in pretty clothes. I thought I didn't and would never have.
Now I've kind of stopped being so insecure about my looks, and I want to try all the things I haven't allowed myself to wear during all of these years. I have understood what kind of clothes look good with my body shape, I've learnt how to do a proper make-up, and I've sort of made peace with my natural hair colour: I want to taste what it's like to be what I thought I was too ugly to be.

In some way, goth has been my comfort zone.  It's weird to say that, considering it has brought me so many troubles and unwanted comments, but that's one of the things it has been to me.
Mainly it was just the style I like, by the way. I've always claimed that it had more to do with my tastes in clothing than with anything else, and it's still absolutely true. But there was something else.
With alternative styles, the outfit was all that mattered, so I didn't care if I didn't look good in a miniskirt and knee-high boots: the only important things were the clothes. I was trying to be a goth, not to be pretty.
Now I want to be what I found out I deem pretty. Which seems to be: crochet collars, pastel sweaters, a-line skirts, polka dots, bows and oxfords or mary janes. Something like this.

Do you like my new idea of style? It's kind of trendy, I know, but it's really starting to grow on me :) I hope you'll keep following my blog even though there isn't't always going to be alternative stuff!

Have a nice weekend ;*!
