Dream Sky Girl ☆ミ!

Do you guys like it? I've been prety obsessed with AP's Dream Sky print since the previews were up, and I really wanted to draw it! It was my first time drawing a print. All done in photoshop 7 with a mouse. I had a lot of fun drawing and coloring this, so I hope you all like it! ;u;!

Thanks for looking~

(P.S I promise I'll finish up the 30 day challenge soon ;v;!)

Lolita Outfit Post Time! ~ Tomorrow Is International Lolita Day ~!

For those who don't know, ILD is a semianual holiday celebrated by lolitas! theres no set way to celebrate it, but meetups are usually planned and people are urged to dress up. I'm excited for it! Last ILD, I went out with a few of my friends and hung out around the Mall of Georgia. This time, I think I'll be going to a meetup, so I want to wish you all a happy lolita day a little bit early! If I'm not able to go to the meetup, I'm hoping I can use up some of my extra fabric laying around to make a few cute decorations for my computer desk. I think lolita day is a perfect day to pamper yourself by doing whatever you would like to! What are you guys planning on doing this ILD ;u;?

I also wanted to share my lolita outfits from..I think...March (wow, I've been lazy about this!) with you all! So there are quite a few below xD. Enjoy!

Thanks for looking, I hope you all have a lovely lolita day tomorrow!

My Favorite Thrift Haul So Far ~!

Hey, everyone! Today I took a trip to my favorite thrift store again~! Though I originally wanted to find some cute t-shirts for this summer, I ended up straying from that plan however and getting a bunch of other stuff!

polkadot tank top , faux leather skort (do you guys remember skorts? Skirts with shorts~! I love that I won't havew to layer bloomers under these!),Adorable hearts and stripes sheets (to use as fabric~), A care bear, a super derpy and adorable unicorn pillow, some wonderful pink sandal wedges, and my absolute favorite find, platform sneakers~! The total for this haul was $18.05, a bit more expensive than my other ones, but I think it was worth it! I was amazed to find platform sneakers in my size as well, since recently I've really been wanting some!

Heres a better picture of them ~

I've washed them now so they're not as dirty anymore! I'm super excited to wear them now ;A;!

Even though the sneakers were my favorite find, I'm so happy with everything! I know I'll get a lot of use out of the pink sandals and the black skort! I'm glad I got at least one top, and I picked up a care bear to start my collection of those, as well as added a charming unicorn pillow to my collection! I'm also thinking about how to use the cute sheet~. I feel like today was the Thrift Day of Laffi or something!

Have any of you guys gotten cool things while thrifting lately? I love seeing others thrift finds ;u;!

Thanks for looking~!

Finally on summer break!! ★Summer Goals List★

Hey everyone!

Yesterday was my last day of school for the year! I'm finally free to be at home and laze around and do nothing for two months. I am super excited~. Even though that sounds like it'll be fun for me for the first two or three weeks, I think I'll get bored with my time at home pretty quickly xD. So I'm going to write up a list on what I want to accomplish over summer break. I started to think that I need to do this and that, but I know that without a nice, neat, star-pointed list I'll never get anything done! So here goes, my summer goals list ~

☆ Make Money! I've been wanting to start an etsy shop and sell a few of my crafts and anything else for the longest time now. Unfortunately, I don't have a debit card or bank account to start up a shop, so I'll need to get that arranged first.

☆Practice Driving! I got my learners permit a couple of weeks ago, but I've only been driving twice since then ;A;. I want to be able to get my licence and maybe a car in a year, so I need to really learn how to drive this summer.

☆ Blog More! Ever since school intensified, I've been pretty lazy about this blog ;~;. I have a few things I've been wanting to write posts about but haven't had the time x^x! Now that summer vacation is about, I'm excited to finish the 30 day challenge and start posting more and more often.

☆Go shopping! Lots of kinds of shopping. I need to go stationary shopping, lolita shopping, thrifting, skin care shopping, nail polish shopping, fabric and craft shopping, just lots and lots of shopping xD. Hopefully I make some money and can do this!

☆Go to meet ups! Last summer I was able to go to lot, but this summer I hope to make most of them! Most of the meet ups are far-ish away from me, and during the school year it's hard to make them. There are a few exciting sounding ones coming up that I can hopefully get to though!

☆Sew and craft! I don't have much summer clothes since I pretty much cleaned out my closet in early spring and got rid of all my older clothes. I'm excited to make myself more cutsews and a simple summer JSK or two. I also want to make things based on SPANK's dresses to wear during summer. I want to make some casual tiered skirts (like the frilly AP ones). I'm hoping to sell some clothes and a few crafts too, once I'm better at sewing properly and keeping the insides clean.

definitely want to make one like this!

☆Hang out with friends! I hate losing contact with friends over summer, so I want to prevent that this year.

☆ Read! It's exciting to be out of school and not have any books to read for that~. I finally have time to read for myself again, So I intend on doing so ~u~!

☆ Draw more! I really want to improve my style and my coloring. Hoping to get a tablet some time soon, but thats probably a later rather than sooner thing that will happen. I'm working on a cute summer picture now though ;u;.

Edit: I've finished it! Do you guys like it?

(full size here at my deviantart)

I'll probably add more to this list as I think more things up! Do you guys have any summer plans? ;u;?

Sewing for school ~ Marie Antoinette JSK!

Hello ~! In an earlier post, I mentioned I had something exciting coming up to share with you all!

Well, here it is!

A month or so ago, I walked into my AP world History class and was told that instead of a traditional final exam, we were going to have to pick a historical figure who was important to history and write a five page essay on them. I had thought Marie Antoinette sounded like a fun and easy subject matter. And then I read the second part of the project and completely set my heart on her!

"Create a costume reminiscent of the figure you chose..."

I was so excited at that point! I come to school early the next day to sign up (I wanted to get Marie Antoinette no matter what!) And I got her! Excited, I began sketching the dress I would create for her. And then I left it alone until a good week before it was due (I had other priorities, okay? xD?).

Anyways, the project was due today and through all of my procrastination, I got it done~! I'm pretty insanely proud of the dress, since it's the first JSK I've made that fits me decently (not perfectly, but I still need to practice and improve!) and I'm going to share it with you all!

Here's the original sketch ~

I didn't originally wanted to make it only slightly lolita, but as deadlines approached I decided to stick to what I was familiar with and made it more Marie Antoinette inspired lolita. You can see that I drew this on the back on the assignment paper;;; xD.

And a progress picture~

I started this dress late Saturday night and finished it on Sunday around 5:00 PM ;v;. This picture was probably around 2:00 PM. My face is blocked because I looked terrible from spending all day sewing xD.

Finished!

This is the outfit I wore today~! A lot of people told me I looked like Princess Peach or Sleeping Beauty which totally made me happy xD.

This is just me derping around a bit. Don't worry, you guys, I know she never said that! It just seemed so appropriate ~

And another nice picture! I think you can see details in the top of the JSK the best from here ;v;.

I had some sewing machine drama while making it though ( All of my needles broke x~x), so the golden accents are all held on with hot glue ;~;. Hopefully, I can sew them on properly soon.

I think I got a good grade! My teacher did say she expected a bird cage or boat in my hair though xD.

So what do you guys think~? I'm really happy with it!

Thanks for looking~ ☆

30 Day Lolita Challenge Days Six and Seven!

Hello~! Since blogger was down the other day, I'll be playing catch up with both day six and seven!

★Day 6 - 10 things you can't live without in lolita★

☆ One ~ Bloomers! I have become addicted to bloomers xD. I wear them under every skirt all the time when I'm out - lolita or not! I wear my bloomers around the house as well! I only have two pairs though, so I need to make more for myself soon.

☆ Two ~ Petticoats~! You and I both know it's just not as lolita without them!

☆ Three ~ Support. Without my family and friends support in wearing lolita, I wouldn't be able to. I really admire all of the lolis out there that wear it despite their parents wishes or the support of their families.

☆ Four ~ Detachable pieces. I love detachable sleeves! I can wear a blouse in all weather because of them ;A;. Bows that I can take off and pin everywhere are always cool too ;u;! Also, detachable waist ties can be used for making matching accessories!

☆ Five ~ Shoes. Lolita shoes are just so cute and perfect! I wish I had more than I do, I suppose I'll just have to improve my shoe collection over time.

☆ Six ~ Waist ties on JSKs. I don't really need skirt waist ties since I like blouses that have ruffles or detail on the bottom, so I don't tuck in my blouses. JSKs don't always fit me though, and sometimes they're a bit big. I'm glad that I can use the waist ties to get them to fit me better ;u;!

☆ Seven ~ Money LOL. Without money you probably have as much lolita as I do (not much lol). I really need to find a way to make some money in the near future ;~;. Hopefully I can find a job over summer, but most places only hire at 16 or 18 x~x.

☆ Eight ~ Accessories! Accessories really tie your coord together ;u;. I'm not one whos big on jewelry, but I really like the look of multiple wrist cuffs and plastic jewlery~. Hopefully I can order some from chocomint in the near future~

☆ Nine ~ Layers. I really love to layer xD. You can find so many ways to layer on more and more in lolita, so it's a great winter style! In summer, you can always go blouseless or sockless etc. to keep cool too ;u;.

☆ Ten ~ Inspiration! Without all of the beautiful, inspirational lolitas around, it would be much harder to be one! That also brings me to~~

★Day 7 - 10 people who inspire your lolita style★

☆ One~ Julie Doll! I love her style to bits and pieces, both her Lolita and non lolita styles inspire me *A*.

☆ Two ~ Kyandi! I love her casual cute style *A*! She's also a huge inspiration for me with Fairy Kei!

☆ Three ~ Mochi of Kawaiigoods! I love her style, coordinates, and cute accessories!

☆ Four ~ Shelby Cloud. Her coordinates are all so so so adorable! I also really love her youtube videos!

☆ Five ~ Wunderfluff. Not only are her outfits the cutest thing ever, but shes super sweet and totally awesome ;A;!

☆ Six ~ Rinrin! She's just so cute and I love love love her style *A*!

My favorite coordinate by her *A*~~!

☆ Seven ~ Cadney! How can anyone not love her~? Shes so sweet and her outfits are way too amazing!!

☆ Eight ~ Kammie! I love kammie~ she's super sweet and makes the cutest accessories! I love her themed outfits, like this spotty dotty themed one!

☆ Nine ~ Kasumi Pai! Okay, this girl is adorable and I love her outfits so so so so so much. ;A;. Just look at this cuteness!

☆ Ten ~ Whipcreambunn! I love her so much as well! She looks adorable to the max in sweet and absolutely stunning in gothic ;A;.

So that's ten! These aren't in any particular order by the way ;u;!
