Lolita around the world: London
This is the second stop for my “Lolita around the world” project. I only managed to get Grace to meet up with me cause it’s weekday and fortunately, she has a day off from school. Thank you so much for bringing me around. :3
I met up with Grace in Kensington cause it’s where my hotel is. The London tube is surprisingly easy to navigate around but like most European subways, certain platforms are shared among a few lines so we’d have to be careful.
I didn’t have much of a plan as to where I’d like to go since it’s my first time there, I only told Grace that I really wanted to see the Big Ben.
And off we go.
Grace is so pretty. I love the colour of her eyes.
We went to alot of other places after that. No photos though, it’s really hard for me to snap pictures while I’m amazed at all the architecture and things happening around me.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE CAMDEN. I declare it the Harajuku of London. Camden has lots of alternative fashion stores of course mainly dealing with punk and gothic since we know it IS the motherland of all these. The platform boots are O_O and there’re piercing and tattoo stores everywhere.
I went into a cyber store and it puts FOTUS in Shinjuku to SHAME. They had such awesome decor and their clothes glow in UV lighting.
We also went into this dept store called Liberty. The building, I believe dates back to the Tudor where Queen Elizabeth I reigned. It like a shopping mall in a huge house. It’s confusing walking around the “house” but I love it.
We also went to a gigantic toy store called Hamleys. SO MANY TOYS. And there’re random toys flying around like a cute helicopter and then there was a dragonfly that we thought was going to crash into us.
Other random things
- The people here do stare at lolitas as well but I guess the only place they don’t is in the larger cities in Japan.
- We did have some people passing comments like “nice dress”. When we were walking around. Europeans are much friendlier than folks back home.
- Rocking horse shoes rules. they’re much more comfortable to walk in than any other shoes.
- My MM OP needs waist ties cos it’s swimming on me.
- I need to get a lolita looking coat.
And that’s pretty much it for my London report. Grace, thank you so much~!! I really hope to see you again~!!
