Paris Lolita meet

Posted May 11th, 2008 by minicloud

I had another chance to meet up with the lovely lolitas from Paris finally~!!!

We headed to Galleries Lafayette for a Japanese event thingama that was going on.
I’m kinda lazy to put text. I’m the laziest blogger I knowwwww~
I’ll let the pics speak for themselves and umm~ add captions as I go along.

We only started the camwhoring outside of Harajuku (not Harajuku in Tokyo, but just a store named Harajuku which sells overpriced Moitie. )

I love love love Julie’s coordinations. The bodyline jacket is soooo much love.

Gabrielle is a pinup loli~
How come the french lolis suit red lipstick so well???

We roamed around and headed to Luxemborg (god i hope this is how u spell it)okay wait, we were hanging out at a Starbucks before that. But I don’t have pics.

I love this photo. It’s such natural expressions. XD

Gabrielle does things I don’t understand but she’s so cute.

Lucy and Gabrielle were twinning.

Jeanne dropped by after work and she wearing a gorgeous skirt.

The rest had to go back and Jeanne and I hung out for dinner and everything. She took me to a nice pub where she had her first date so it’s kinda cute. I introduced her to Malibu Pineapple. but it doesn’t taste quite the same as the ones I had back home. Must be the pineapple juice that they use.

Anyway that’s the only pic of me that I have. It’s a freaking hot coordinate and the cape looks kinda big and floppy from the front. I have no idea how to fix that. :/

Anyway, by the end of dinner, I was sooooo bummed cos I haven’t slp at all~

I realised that no matter how much I love the french lolitas, I cld never be one of them simply because I am not french myself. It was a joy nonetheless hanging out with them cos they’re such cool people, but I truly truly belong in drama-filled Singapore. And despite all that drama hanging around, I do wish we could learn to appreciate each other and show hospitality to ppl who are visiting us just like the kindness that the other lolitas all over the world have shown me.

I’m really appreciate and thank the french lolis for their company and also the lovely macaroons I got to bring back. Thank you so much~!!! *hugs*

Lolita around the world: London

Posted October 30th, 2007 by minicloud

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~!!

-edit-
MOAR PICS

I finally got round to wearing my Mary Magdalene OP which I love so much.


Better pic to see the shoes.


MySpace angles~ hahahhaha~!!!


“I ate your sister~!! *rawr*”


Big corsage is BIG.


I quite like the makeup on that day.


It was a good hairday too. (until the wind decided to mess it up.)

BREAK IT DOWN

  • OP: Mary Magdalene
  • Hair Corsage: Mary Magdalene
  • Socks: Innocent world

Lolita around the world: Paris

Posted August 2nd, 2007 by minicloud

Firstly, let me just say a big thanks to Jeanne, Julie, Gabrielle, Caroline and Lucie for making this meet possible. You have made my stay in Paris absolutely wonderful.

Paris is the first stop for my personal project, “Loli around the world”. As some of you might have already know, I am starting this project to meet lolitas all over the world and the Paris meet has been really really successful.

I first met up with Julie and Jeanne for lunch at the nice japanese restaurant in Bastille. I didn’t have any pictures of our food or us eating though.

And what is a loli meet in Paris without going to Baby, the stars shine bright?

Prettiness~!!

Julie, Jeanne and the lovely salesperson in Baby~

There was this Marie Antionette One-piece that I loved so much~ I would’ve bought it straightaway if it was in pink, although the red one was also lovely. I couldn’t resist trying it on.

excuse the messy hair

In my own clothes, photowhoring and babywhoring.

Gabrielle and Caroline joined us later in the store. :D
On a side note, there was another male salesperson there and he treated us to some strawberry yogurt drink. That was very sweet of him.

We headed to Starbucks later for a drink.

Julie and Gabrielle posing with their gifts~!!
Yes~!! I made little crowns for everyone for being so kind. I hope they like it~

paris310707_12.jpg
Caroline with her crown, she has double eyelids and brown eyes to die for~

We headed down to Harajuku, where we met Lucie there. She was in a beautiful gingham dress which she loli-fied herself. There was like 4m worth of lace on the dress.
Unfortunately for me, Harajuku was closed. T___T
We headed to Boddywood instead. And I bought the skirt that Julie was wearing cause I loved it so much. It was more expensive definately but it was also on 30% sale so it eases the pain a little bit.

We headed down to alot more places after that; Junku (the Japanese bookstore), Galleries LaFayette (for Hello Kitty stuff).

paris310707_11.jpg
we took a group photo but it’s without Lucie~!! DX someone had to be the photographer.

And last photo for the post~!

Thank you my lovely Parisian lolitas for being so kind to me. I certainly hope to meet everyone again. :)

Some other random things

  • Parisians do stare at people wearing lolita, but they mean no harm.
  • Some of them walk by and say comments like “princess”, “lovely”, “cute”. We even had sales person saying “kawaii” to us when we were walking around in Galleries Lafayette.
  • Random people can just strike up conversations with us by the way they dress which I think is amazing because in Singapore everyone just stares.
  • Lolita shoes are not made for cobberstone pavements.
  • Long-sleeved cutsews are too hot for summer.
  • It is very expensive to be a lolita in Europe
  • There’s only a small number of lolitas in Paris itself. But Baby store’s items are sold out very quickly cause of regular patronage and tourists.

That’s it for my Paris report~!! I hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed myself there.
