Fashion Photography: Sweet Dessert

Few days ago, I had a chance to become a photographer (once again) and took some photos of a friend who loves lolita fashion. Both of us are not professional in modeling or photography. We just do our best in this photoshoot :)

Anyway, the dress and accessories are made by me.

As tea time already came, a girl who loves teddy bear confuse to pick a cake. All of the cake looks delicious~ 

After thinking several moments, she finally choose this cake. 

A combination of chocolate soft roll cake with matcha ice cream.

The taste is so heavenly soft, the chocolate feels melt in her mouth.

and the ice cream.. is a perfect combination with the cake. 

It's really delicious and not too sweet so she could finish this 1 plate for herself..

Her favorite tea is camomile, tea is the best compliment while eating a cake. It will neutralize the sweetness with its flowery scent..

She's really happy to visit this cafe, the interior, atmosphere, and food & drinks are so pretty with a touch of sweet and classic.

Special thanks to Rati Rati :)

Where to buy lolita bags

Hello everyone~
I think some of you knew that I really love lolita~ and these days, I really wanted to own another lolita bag.
Why? 
Because actually I only have 2 lolita bags and sometimes I find difficulties to coordinate my lolita dress with the bag.

Finally,
I wanted to buy a lolita bags from taobao and there's a GOOD NEWS :)

For you who lives in Indonesia, I will help you to get the lolita bags from the store which I wanted to buy. 
So, my intention to help you is just to spread lolita culture in Indonesia <3 Because I will be very happy to meet new lolita friends, since the lolita girl population in Indonesia is very few TTwTT

However, I will only limit the types of bag, just to avoid the seller send me the wrong items. Moreover, all price will be in Indonesia Rupiah, just to make everyone easier~
The price includes local shipping in China and Indonesia, shipping from China to Indo, and agent's fee.
All price will be stated below each photos.
Anyway, currency in yuan strengthened and the cost for shipping is very expensive. Therefore, the price still not cheap when buying it from Indonesia TTwTT

I can't update my blog recently, because I have to prepare so many things for my college and do a short internship :(

However, all that things is done! (even though I will face my IELTS test on Saturday .__. )

Forget about that~ xD

Anyway, I'm SUPER HAPPY, because my handmade dress is finally done. Also, I have wear it once to an event named, hobby fest.

That feeling when I wear my very own dress for the first time is SUPER ....................

Of course, I feel satisfied, joyful, and all the good feelings mixed up in my mind  >w<

Finally, I want to present the dress which I made~

Still can't see the details? Let's look closer :)

Other than the dress, I also made a matching head accessories.

*  *  *

Story Behind the Dress

It's actually inspired by the happiness in a bunny family which represents on the fabric's pattern. The bunny mother wears an apron. The next thing that came to my mind was "Maid"

Finally, I decided to combined sweet lolita with maid to represent this cute bunny family >v<

3 beverages & lolita outfits to match

It's been so long since I post something related to lolita. But, finally Lolita Blog Carnival made a new topic that attract my interest <3

So, I'll list the 3 items to coordinate :D

First, can you guess what is it? xD

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, it's strawberry milkshake <3

I chose this beverage because of the sweet taste <3 Also, usually this drink will be served in an interesting way which usually attract my interest xD (but I'm rarely drink it, because too many cals in this drink TT_TT)

and here's my coordinate pick ~

Dress - Rose Melody

Necklace & bag - Baby the Star Shines Bright

Socks & shoes - Antaina

Second, chammomile tea

In my opinion, lolita never separated with tea. It's like a basic drink that almost every lolita would drink, especially in tea party. But, I chose chammomile because personally, I love cammomile tea. The scent, taste is different than any other tea. It will be hard to explain more about it, because it will be a long post if I explain more about it xP

Basicly, for the 2nd coordinate, the theme would be classic lolita.The coordinate that I want to create which match with this tea can be seen below.

Dress, Hair acc, socks - Mary Magdalene

bag - Innocent World

Shoes - Antaina

The third which is the last,,, hot chocolate

Who doesn't love hot chocolate? xD this beverage was also one of my favorite drink <3 and by looking at the "chocolate" color, it kinda reminds me about gothic lolita. That's why I think it's suitable with gothic lolita look which I've chose below :3

Dress - HMHM

bag - Baby the star Shines bright

Headdress & gloves - Rose Melody

Shoes - Antaina

Actually, doing digital lolita coordinate was my first experience and I thought it's kinda hard >x< But, I'm glad that it turns out good xD 

How do you think of this coordinate with the beverage? 

Hope you like it too :)

Also, check out the other LBC participant for this week :D

Invent My own Brand

Hi everyone :) Maybe you've noticed a new logo in my blog and are you curious what is it? 

I will tell you a short introduction to that logo. It is Lolita Blog Carnival, where all the members are lolita blogger. Also, the people who joined this group will blogged about a topic which chosen on that week, set a date, and linking to other posts on that topic made by the other members.
Actually, I'm a new member in that group <3 and I'm glad to joined the carnival because I can expand my knowledge about lolita and the people are so kind~

So this week's Lolita Blog Carnival challenge is about "Invent your own brand" and after I knew the topic, I said to myself I should totally joined it! :D
If I have a chance to invent my own brand, there are some things I'd like to do.


1. Set a name for the brand.
A name which came to my mind was "Vintage Milk". Actually, vintage milk was my old deviantart name and I don't know why I still love that name. Somehow, I feel that name was unique, sweet, and elegant. Also, I think the name suits my lolita style. Why? In my thought, vintage will present something which is related to classic lolita, because of the elegant side. While milk has sweet taste, so it can be related to sweet lolita which is cute and sweet <3 xD

2. Choose the items which I'd like to sell.
I think I'll made Dresses, skirts, outfit, and some accessory which can be used together with the dresses/skirt/outfit that I made.
Actually, I've draw some sketches of the items that I'll made when I've finished my national exam . I think when I'm ready, I'll also sell it to other people.
(These pictures below will show some sketches made by me, sorry if the quality photo doesn't good)

3. Basic things that usually appear on my works.
Details. Why it should be details? Basicly, I love to see details on an outfit, it can be accessory or complicated pattern.

4. Prints that will appeared on the outfit.
In my thought, I'll choose 3 themes which I really love <3
The first are crown, princess, and lace. If these items combine together as a print, I think it will produce an elegant classic lolita print.
(the picture below represent the 3 things I've mentioned above.)

(Source: Google and edited by me)

The second are teddy bear, tea, and ribbon. As for these items, I think if it's combined together, it will produce a cute sweet lolita print.
(to illustrate it, I think it can be similar like the print below)

(Source: google)

The third are butterflies, flowers, cage. Like the first print, it will produced an elegant classic lolita print.
(It's hard to search a similar fabric related with this idea, so I'll just show you a real picture)

(Source: google)

Actually I don't know if these ideas will came true or not. But, I do really hope someday I can make lots of lolita dresses/outfit which everyone would love and wear.

Anyway, thanks for reading this post <3
