Hello!

It's been a long time since my last LBC post. In fact, it's been a long time since my last post written in English! But today I'm correcting that. I've made a post about lolitas that inspire me before, and here are another 3 lovely ladies with a superb sense of style.

Oi oi!

De vez em quando eu participo do Lolita Blog Carnival, mas geralmente acabo não traduzindo os posts.
Achei meio injusto deixar assim, então estou traduzindo e resumindo alguns dos últimos num único post cheio de coords pra você se inspirar!

♦ Crie um look Lolita completo por apenas 100 dólares

Hello!

For this week's Lolita Blog Carnival I chose two books: one of my all-time favorites, and a book I haven't read yet but plan to (hopefully, soon!).

♦ The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien

I love this book. It takes place in Tolkien's complex and fantastic universe, but is a much lighter read than the Lord of the Rings trilogy. My favorite race is the Dwarves, but I tried to include a little bit of every culture in the coord and the overall feeling of Middle Earth. The main point is lots of diverse textures and somewhat unusual colors for Lolita.


♦ Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice

I watched the movie recently and fell in love with it. My plan is to read all the books in the Vampire Chronicles series. This is a pretty straightforward coordinate, mainly inspired by child vampire Claudia. Red is for blood and the dark blue represents the indigo plantation one of the characters had. There are a few other references (the mouse, crosses, coffin) in the little details.
I hope you liked these coordinates! The second one was quite easy to put together, but the first one gave me quite a lot of trouble. Finding the right balance between Lolita and murky Middle Earth was hard. This was a really fun topic, though!

See you next time!

Hello everyone!

This week's LBC theme is: "Take 1 Staple Item and Make 5 Different Outfits".
I believe red is one of the most versatile non-neutral colors out there - it's also my favorite color! Because of this, I chose a relatively neutral Metamorphose JSK in red to create these 5 outfits:

Hello!
For Lolita Blog Carnival's first anniversary post, the challenge is to design a complete coordinate for under $100. It was a bit hard, and I kind of cheated a little (tee-hee!) but so much fun to do!
I decided not to fiddle with Taobao so that this would be easy for a beginner lolita to buy.
Pretty good, huh? Unfortunately, this is only possible with a combination of the infamous "Bodyline yen trick" and magical free shipping. And I really hope that dress has pockets, because I couldn't fit in a bag.
Hope you liked my coord! Check out what other bloggers came up with for this week's LBC:

♦ Hello!
For this week's LBC I chose Mary Magdalene. I love this brand, they release many beautiful, classical, timeless pieces.


What do these dresses have in common? Besides being beautiful, I mean.
None of them have a single centimeter of lace! When Mary Magdalene does use lace, it tends to be wide and a prominent design feature. But look at what they are capable of doing without it. Most of MM's pieces are solid colors or have basic floral prints. Original prints are very rare in this brand. And still, they manage to create such gorgeous clothes by manipulating only fabric. This also allows for a very distinct color palette (which I tried to depict below) and a larger variety of types of fabric in comparison to other Lolita brands.



♦ Olá!
Para o Lolita Blog Carnival dessa semana (o tema é Brand favorita) eu escolhi Mary Magdalene. Eles lançam várias peças lindas, clássicas e que não saem de moda.



O que esses vestidos têm em comum? Além de serem lindos, quero dizer.
Nenhum deles tem sequer um centímetro de renda! Quando a Mary Magdalene usa renda, tende a ser bem larga e um ponto proeminente do design. Mas olha só o que eles conseguem fazer sem o bico de renda. A maioria das peças da MM são de tecidos lisos ou com estampas florais básicas. Estampas originais são muito raras nessa marca. Ainda assim, eles conseguem criar roupas lindas manipulando apelas tecido. Isso também permite que haja uma paleta de cores bem distinta (que eu tentei representar abaixo) e uma variedade maior de tipos de tecido em comparação com outras marcas Lolita.

Hello, everyone!

This will be my first post for the Lolita Blog Carnival, although I have been part of the group for a while I never actually participated.
Anyway, this week's topic is

♦ If brands made home decor

Actually, some brands have released house items in the past, but those were somewhat isolated events. What if they took it a step further and started having a whole section dedicated to home decor?
The first thing I thought of was to take a look at the decoration of each brand's physical store. This delightful series of posts by Tokyo Rebel really helped me on that: tours around Lolita brand shops.
Of course that was a great start point, but I decided to do my own twist on what a "Lolita Brand Doll House" would look like, with each of the rooms inspired by a Lolita brand:
