Outfit of the Day (OOTD)


Hello my Gummy Bears!

Today I went along to GeekFest, which is basically a gaming convention. I wanted to share with you my ootd ヽ(;▽;)ノ
It was a pretty awesome event. The event took place at the Goldfields Kennel club, so there was a pet parade for all the cute doggies! I seen a pug dressed as Jake the dog while the owner was dressed as Fin.. It was the most awesome thing I have ever seen!  >u< I have a bit of an obsessions with pugs (ෆ`꒳´ෆ)
 I also noticed a few MLP:FIM Cosplays, some jokers, and quite a few kalessi's which was AWESOME! Most of the costumes were so well done and you could tell people put a lot of effort into their cosplays.. Which made me happy!

On an unrelated note. I walked about all day with lolita on, even to the supermarket. Not one person stared at me, and gave me funny looks! ;O; As subtle as this outfit is (I feel) In the UK when I wore the exact same thing.. I got very weird looks from people. So thumbs up to S.A for people not being weirded out and more accepting of things! <3

Anywayz...... >u<
I decided to just wear my regular old lolita clothing to Geek Fest, cause attending this event was kind of last minute thing. If it wasn't for that I would have organized a Chi (Chobits) Cosplay, since I own the ears ^6^

Excuse my doolally hair in this picture, its so long I kind of can't control it anymore (´-﹏-`;) but yeah this is was my coord U v U
Im so glad I bought this skirt, I actually wanted to do a review of it soon ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Innocent worlds quality is amazing, such soft cotton material and such a pretty print!


A closereerrrr up shot of the print! ;w;

I ment to take more pictures at Geek Fest, but sadly with all the excitement, that idea kind of went out the window... (´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) / 
Anyway it was very fun. 

OOFD:
Skirt: Innocent World
Blouse: Bodyline
Shoes: Bodyline
Tights: Off Brand
Cat Necklace: Cute Can Kill


Thanks to those of you who read these boring posts haha. If any of you reading this went along, please let me know! :D I would love to hear from you!

My bag Collection!

Hello my fluffy bunnies!

I decided to make a blog post on the bags I own. Cause I love these types of videos on youtube. Despite loving watching these videos, I definitely don't feel comfortable making videos of myself >u< If you see my previous youtube videos you will see why haha.


First bag I own is this Squirrel Party tote from Bodyline. I'm not too sure if its available on there website any more, but bodyline do make some uber cute stuff. Handbags I really like! I use this one regularly hence the state of it lol
One thing I will say however is that the sewing on the straps were not very strong. So I would advise that if you bought a tote from them, that you strengthen the straps ^^ This comes in a few different colours. Pink, Sax (Which is what I have), lilac, red and black.

 Here is a close up of the print and frills! Cute huh! <3



 And another close up for you! What a cute print. I can just look at this bag, and feel happy inside! <3



Bag two is my watermelon bag which was bought at H&M. I almost died with excitement when I seen this in the store. Pretty sure everyone thought I was crazy.. but hey I kinda am!
So this bag is kind of an awkward shape >u< The green part is kind of woven straw, the pink is a very barbie pink shiny leather type fabric. The inside has a green lining and a small zip pocket for goodies!



Close up for you. Its so pretty and I love the colour!


Bag three is my Shirley Temple Bag. I actually bought this second hand on a lolita facebook group I joined. Although its pretty beaten up, has scuff parks and things are falling apart. I adore it! Its just so adorable and cute, especially the top of the bag. 

Look at the top! It has a red and green bow! Ughhhh I just cant even express how much I love this bag!!! 


Forth bag is my fox bag, which was bought for me at Christmas. I believe you can get this one on ebay and a new other sites. I love this bright coral colour, give a pop of colour to any outfit. This bags comes in soooo many colours its crazy!

 The straps are adjustable!


Bag five is my accessorize bag! It has kind of a scallop style trim. I really love this bag :) Its very pretty and goes with everything I ware. The inside includes a silk brown lining, with two pockets, which I use for my phone and pocket mirror. My phone fits perfectly in the pocket. There is also a small zip pocket! <3 Bags with compartments are awesome! :D



 Such a pretty bag!

My sixth bag is my sugar bunny shop puddle bunny messenger bag! Look at all the chubby squishy bunnies! *U* This is from the online shop, Sugar Bunny Shop
I adore this bag! My giddy Aunt! LOVE IT! Now this bag is unfortunately out of stock on her website, however she has lots of other cute items! This bad is closed and opened by the latches there on the front, no zip security inside but it wouldn't be pretty hard for someone to dip there hands in here anyways. There is a small zip pocket inside, very well made! The strap is also adjustable. Although I love the bunnies on this bag, I gotta admit its a little annoying to use, but who cares! IT HAS BUNNIES ON IT!


Here is a close up of the pretty print! <3


And last but by no means least is my chococat tote. This one was a present for Christmas from a very special friend <3
Love and adore this! No idea where it was bought. Its a very sturdy bag and has an inside zip pocket. Chococat is sequenced which makes him sparkle and shine *U* 


So there you have it folks! My small and growing bag collection.
If you have a bag collection blog or video I would LOVE to see what bags you own! Share with me :D <3

My day today!


Don't you just love Sundays! :D I spent my day this morning till about 3 in my jammies, getting a foot rub and chatting with hubby! It was so nice... 
I love just to sit and talk and laugh together <3 

After that had an amazing warm shower! I love day showers.. they are the BEST! However I did have an ant walking along the top of the tiled shower...look at me, and carry on again walking O_o It made me feel watched?.. Its an ant! I know, was so awkward though! ew! 


After the nice and awkward shower, went in our love bug (What I can our volkswagen beetle) to the Wimpy Roadhouse, sat in our bug and had our lunch and cold drink in the car! Was warm as there is no aircon in our old little car, but nice too! <3 We both had a very unhealthy breakfast of fried eggs, greasy bacon and chips WAS SO GOOD! and I washed that down with a strawberry and cream smoothie... which was more like ice-cream, cause I couldn't suck it through the bloomin' straw ¬-¬ 
Then went home for some movie watching in bed! haha :D

I ment to take a OOTD photo for you guys, but only mustered up the effort to take these two haha
My apologies! 
I wore my new mint shell ring, which I bought from Cute Can Kill recently, an Anna Sue ring that Ruth (Princess peachie) made me! ^^, My angelic pretty necklace, and the two bracelets that my lovely friend from DeviantART made me (Emi-chuu)



Close up of my AP necklace ;v; Its a glittery blue bow, with pink diamantes and a pink heart which says "AP" on it. The heart is actually a kind of pearl pink (photo doesn't do justice) Its an amazing necklace. Angelic pretty is worth the money everyone! Such good quality and SO well made! <3

LOOK AT IT /*  U  * / ......how pretty!!!

Anyway sorry for such a lazy, lazy post today <3

How to colour digitally with layers

Hello my lovelies!

So I had a couple of people on deviantart request I do a tutorial on colouring!.. and I thought how fun. I'm terrible at explaining things however, so if anything remains unclear. Please feel free to let me know, and I will help further!
At first when I started drawing digitally, I was so stumped and confused by layers and how they worked, but you have done your research just like I did. Good on ya! *thumbs up to you* Hopefully this helps you out.. at least a little haha.

Okay. So to start things off... the most common programs for colouring are Photoshop (obviously) and what I use... Paint tool SAI (the best program ever). This tutorial will be for SAI, however its the same concept on photoshop.

Step 1: Open canvas to start drawing.. (Go to file > New)






















Step 2: Now make a layer! by clicking the folded paper icon just above the circle here or (Layer > New layer)


Step 3: Now name your later whatever you want. Suggest you name it something you will remember! After than go ahead and draw your lineart ^^ I drew an ice-cream.. cause i'm craving it right now.. and its cute >u<!


Step 4: Okay so we now have our lineart completed on our first layer! Woo! 
So now we create a new layer, name it once again. 


Now as you can see when you colour on this layer, you are colouring is under your linart.. MAGIC!


Step 5: Okay now click the Magic wand tool  and click your "Linart" layer (The first layer you created) now click the area you want to colour with the magic wand tool. You will notice the part you have selected as turned blue!


Most of the time, the magic wand took won't select the whole area you want to colour.

To rectify this. Go the the select took! This is basicly a select brush. It allows you to brush over parts the magic want tool misses. Neat huh! ^7^


Now use this select took and brush over the bits the magic wand took misses, and wala you can start to colour! ^O^

Step 6: Now after your selected part has turned blue, go to your "Colour" layer (Second layer you created) and click it.



 Step 7: Use whatever tool you want. I suggest the Brush tool, but some like to use the bucket tool, and colour the selected area. You will notice that by what we have done, You have magically coloured only the selected layer, all neat and tidy. So this is the basics of the mystery that is layers!


 Thank you so much for reading, and again I'm sorry if this tutorial is sloppy xD I'm not good at explaining things! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask below in the comment section!
Oh and if you would like to suggest another tutorial you would like to see me do, please let me know ^^

bye bye everyone! Till next time! <3

Lolita Wishlist

Angelic Pretty: Misty Sky

So this dress looks amazing with a nice puffy petti and I love the waistline.. Very flattering.

Angelic Pretty: Honey Cake
One of my favourite AP prints! Its also kinda vintage, which gives it double thumbs up. The print as you can see is breakfast themed, you have pancakes, milk,maple syrup.. so cute! This dress also has the most adorable matching accessories, like the honey cake bear ring and the honey cake shoulder bag.

Innocent World: Lotta
This is my favorite ever Innocent world print! Innocent world is more of a classic style of lolita. 
This print has cute fawns and bows. Also seriously loving the blue colour on the dress, its so pretty.

Emily Temple Cute: Snow white comic 
I think this is the only Emily Temple Cute dress I have ever fallen in love with INSTANTlY!
Its retro, baby blue,  and has a disney /comic print... what more could you want! This is just an epic dress, no other way to explain it really ^7^ Get in mah closet noew! K!

Mary Magdalene: Claudette
I find this dress so insanely lad like, Its like something a disney princess would wear. I can just imagine singing with birds visiting my window in the morning.
I think this is definitely an everyday kind of dress.

Angelic Pretty: Gloria 
IN WHITE! ( Couldn't find a stock image of the white skirt ;A; )
Its so unusual to see this type of print from AP, but wow... look at it! I really like this dress in white, however could not for the life of me, find a white stock photo to show you! ;A; (If any of you do, please let me know!) I fell in love with this skirt when I say PastelBat wearing it. Such a stunner!

Innocent World: Rabbit Letter
I cant help but fall in love with bunny ANYTHING, so naturally I love this dress, The skirt is also really pretty too. Basically the print has bunnies, giving letters to one another ^^ I know its even cuter than it sounds though! Also really like this colour too, really makes the print pop! This is also an everyday kind of dress <3

Do you have a lolita wishlist? Share it with me guys! I would love to see ^^

How to have a Kawaii instagram!

Hello my puddle ducks!

Today I wanted to talk about how you can have a kawaii instagram. The secret is apps!

Apps are wonderful tools to help make photos kawaiifull and prettyfull! And to make things even better, all the apps I will talk about today are FREE! Mmm free /drools. I believe all the apps are available on both android and iphones, but don't quote me on that ^^;


About this App:
The layout for this app is macaroon themed, very girly and cute! Everything is relatively easy to use, but of all the apps i've talked about on this blog its a little hard to locate things, however once you get the hang of where to find things, its a great app. There is just so much option!
In this app there are a lot of filter options, and I really like that you can apply a filter before you actually take a photo. This means you can check which affect looks best for what you're taking.. not only does this save time, but it also helps take a better picture.
There are cute lace borders, accessories and stamps, However there aren't a lot of variety.
There are a lot of cool options in this app, including one to totally blur certain parts of your photo, perfect for those shots where I want to show my outfit and not my derpy face haha.
My favourite part of this app is that you can add kawaii blush to your face as well as a whole host of other body and makeup altering stuff, including an anti-acne option! ( I haven't personally used this, but found that to be a clever thing to include to an app.) This app is used by the famous Xiaxue.



About this App:
Okay so this app is a little less appealing to the eyes, theme wize! however still in keeping with the cuteness you want in an app ^^
Things are easier to locate within this app, although there are a few hidden things haha. One of the things I didn't find too great about this app, is that there is no filter options, only a brightness option! So if you were going to use this app, I suggest editing the filter of your image first in another app... which makes it a little annoying.. I know! But even so, this app was fun!
There are a lot of cute borders, which reminded me of Puricute!
Pen tool is really good, usually with pen tools they can be wonky and jaggy looking, but I don't feel this is.




About this App:
This app is really plain and simple. There is nothing complicated about it, but the features are limited, However the scrapbook option in this App is awesome! I haven't seen another app like it thats so cute. I like that you can move and select items at any point to change the size and angle! You can also place different things above and below the items on the screen too! There are not a lot of stamps, but i really like the ones you get in this app. Its kind of 80s come pastel gosh come kawaii! 





So there you go, these are three of my favourite kawaii photo apps for you to make your instagram more kawaiiful...Now you try! 

さようなら

Finished Skirt!

After hours, lots of mistakes, and lots of pin pricks, I have finally finished! 
I can't believe I actually made a skirt, and it actually looks not too bad for my first try! 
I made thousands of mistakes, but I know next time to avoid those! ; v ; Im just so happy!
I can't wait to try the same thing with nicer patterned material.


 Here is a close up of the top of the skirt, Its tidy for the most part. The strip I used for the belt to cover the top end of the pleats was shorted than I thought, So I had to improvise with the back.. 


Here is the back. As the skirt was tailored to my waist size, I decided just to add a zip! 


Here is me looking rather derpy with the skirt on. Excuse my shirt, It was what I was wearing at the time >u< I know it doesn't quite go haha


Oooh my legs kinda blend in with my wardrobe there oops lol 
Don't even know...

*skips off to play some mario on the 3DS*
