Crown Label - Strawberry Crown skirt

Hi dear readers!

I'm so excited to tell you the news - I've got another of my dream prints!
I've bought a skirt from the Strawberry Crown series by Crown Label, which is a sister brand to Metamorphose. In my beloved green!

The skirt actually wasn't my dream item. The JSK was. But I ended up with a skirt.

And I realized I've done a good thing. If you know me, you might know that I'm not a very big fan of skirts in lolita - outfits with JSKs and OPs seem much more "complete" and perfect than those with skirts. But I've stopped wearing lolita outside of meetups and cons and I feel my style has gotten a bit too costume-y and fake. I hope this simple country lolita skirt will help me to incorporate lolita into my everyday life again :)

By the way, just after I purchased the skirt, Meta started selling them again. In a luckypack. For cheap. It probably wouldn't make a big difference in price since I'd have to add all the shipping and taxes, but the prices will go down now and that's really bad luck. But I'm not planning on selling it any soon, so whatever :)

And finally, here are some pictures. I hope you love it as much as I do.



 And because I've kinda always known that I'll buy this print one day, when one Czech lolita was selling these for cheap, I didn't hesitate and bought them. They match perfectly, don't they?


I can't wait to wear the skirt in an outfit! I hope you like it!

AF13 - A pirate's life for me

Hi mammoths!

Last weekend I attended a convention in Brno called Animefest. My last con was in July and it seeméd like eternity, so I was really pumped up about it.

I decided to do something I have always wanted to do - a pirate lolita outfit. I was gathering pieces of clothing for the outfit since February and I really couldn't wait. But it wouldn't be me if nothing went wrong.

The tricorn hat is amazing, but unfortunately, it only has two bobby pins to attach it to my head. I wanted to replace them with some stronger clips, but the shop where I usually buy components was closed. So the hat was falling down all the time and looked stupid most of the time it was on. My petticoats died on the 5 hours long way. And when we finally arrived at the con, I couldn't find anyone who would take some nice outfit pictures of me. So I'll have to go with these:

My only nice picture in this outfit. Thanks to my friend Beezet.

Derplita. 

 And a bonus - me waiting in that long as hell line with my fellow lolita Len. Totally not amused.

Thanks goes to my dear Beezet for taking the pictures. 


And yes, those are the only three acceptable pictures of this outfit. I promise I'll wear it again one day and I'll take lots of awesome pirate-y pictures. 

I didn't feel really comfortable in lolita that day. Maybe it was my shyness and unwillingness to talk with other lolitas /or unwillingness of other lolitas to talk with me/ and maybe it was just a shitty day. But I was bored and annoyed, even though I was wearing one of my dream outfits. 
This was also the only day at the con I was wearing lolita. I cosplayed as a character from Homestuck the other day, and the last day I didn't even wear anything special and it felt great. If anyone's curious about my cosplay, I might share something on my facebook page later ;)

Overall, I had a great time at the convention. But next time I might be only cosplaying. It's so much fun!

THANKS FOR VIEWING
Stella xoxo

Hi mammoths!

I'm so sorry it took me so long to post again T_T I can't even say I was busy because the fact is that I was just lazy and I didn't have anyone to take pictures of me. Sigh.

Today we went to the cinema with my school to see Les Mis. I was happy because I haven't seen the movie before (oh hey, I know my last post is called Castle on a cloud, I knew this song because of my singing lessons :D) and it was cheap, too! So much winning! I loved it very much, it was an awesome experience for a musical freak like me.

I decided to wear this and it was a bad choice because it was really cold and it rained. The outfit is inspired by Lady Gaga's "Judas" video and Mary Magdalene, I don't even know why did I get this idea but I thought it was funny.



The sheer chiffon thing of apricot colour I'm wearing was a gift from my friend Julia, she got this for me in Vietnam last summer. I love it, although I have no idea how is it called.





That's all. I would like to make some vlog experiment, but I have to decide what it will be about. Any ideas?
I have some other posts prepared in my head, too, we had a local lolita meetup I would like to blog about, also some reviews and possibly a shopping update...and I must not forget that Animefest is next week! Yay!

Oh and because I have a lot of feels for Les Mis right now, here, have my favorite song~

Castle on a cloud

Hi there!

This is my school outfit of today; no special occasion, i just felt like dressing up in pastels a bit because the spring is finally here and the weather is nice!





These are my new sneakers. Me and two of my friends have the same ones and it will probably make us look funny one day, but we don't care because they were, uh, on sale for 250,- CZK (about $12)

I|m sorry that I don|t have more pics, because it started to rain (you can actually see it in the picture haha~)

Now we're at my place with my sister eating pizza :3 Hope you all had a nice spring day, too!

Lookbook inspiration vol. 2

Good morning/afternoon/evening/whatever you have in your timezone right now! :)

I decided to make another post with people from lookbook.nu who inspire me. I have only done one similar post so far, but it was back then when this blog was written in Czech language only and it has gotten a bit outdated by now, so I guess it's time to make another one!

I am not a very good stalker on lb.nu. I try to watch what people I follow hype, but lookbook annoys me a bit in these days, so I don't spend there a lot of time. However, there are still some awesome and inspirative people. And I want to share my inspiration with you!

Laura Dambremont is the first to come into my mind when I say inspirative lookbookers. Her style is just so versatile! She rocks lolita as well as more extravagant japanese styles and hipster-ish fashion as well. It's often not something I would wear myself, but I admire her style a lot.

SiShi Yan is my other favorite. She also has that wonderful ability to look completely different in each picture, style-wise, of course. I also love about her that she can pull off both, boyish and girly look. And her lilac hair is just dreamy.

Anna Salo is next. I haven't known about her for a long time, but she is perfect. She looks like a fairy in most of her pictures. And I'm a bit jealous of her, I wish I could take pictures by the seaside, too! T_T

Although a little bit ashamed, I am a fan of pastel goth style. Ami † is really good in it. And I love her outfits that are not pastel goth even more.

And one more famous lookbooker at the end of this post. You probably already know her, but I discovered her recently and I can't adore her enough. Kerti


That's all for today! Feel free to share with me your personal favorites in comments below!
