November Lolita Meet up in Bremen

Hello my lovely readers,

first of all I wish you a nice 1st advent! <3

Now the christmas time starts officially and I'm getting into christmas mood slowly. Yesterday I shopped a few christmas present and my boyfriend and I visited our local christmas market. I really like the romantic and cuddly christmas feeling, the fairy lights and the smell from all the sweets you can buy on the christmas market. Do you like the christmas time?

Then to the topic of this entry: Two weeks ago we had a lolita meet up in Bremen. I spend a lot of time thinking about a coord for this meet up and it ended in a Pirate Lolita outfit. I always wanted to try this style, because I really like it, but I never had a fitting headdress. I was so flashed by the idea of wearing pirate that I sewed a tricorn for my outfit. It was my first tricorn, so it's not perfect, but I like how it turned out. :)

I was so excited wearing Pirate Lolita for the first time, I also bought a pistole to complete the outfit. 

The meet up itself was great! <3 We were 8 lolitas and started the meet up with visiting a café, we ate some yummy cake, drank coffee and talked a lot. After that we went outside and took a lot of pictures. We had a lot of fun and in my opinion it was such a relaxing meet up. This was just like how meet ups should be. Well, it was not a special meet up, I know. Anyway, having a good time is more important than having a big and special meet up. ;)

Here are a few pictures we took:

- Our group: FumikoChan, _-misaki-_, Channa, me, hagelschaden, Berrii, Lolizzy and Hanabi -

- Pictures of my outfit (taken by Hanabi) -

- Sweet Berrii and me -

I felt great wearing Pirate Lolita and I'll definitly wear it again! <3 I'm also looking foward to our christmas meet up in a few weeks.

Everyone, enjoy your sunday and have a relaxing day. :)

Yours,
Zhenya 

NiCon 2013: Last convention this year

Hello my lovely readers,

today I'm writing a few words about the NiCon 2013 in Hannover (Germany), which was the last convention this year for me. First of all: it was one of my best conventions this year! I had a lot of bad moments, especially during some bigger conventions. But the NiCon - it's a small convention - showed me that cosplay is also fun and passion. :)

I finally wore my Compa costume - Compa is a character from the cute game Hyperdimension Neptunia - I planned to cosplay her already in early summer this year. But I put the costume often away and stopped working on it. But... for NiCon I finished it - It's not perfect and I have to improve a few parts - but I'm glad I finished it. <3 
I thought Hyperdimension Neptunia is unknown and I never expected someone might know the character I'm cosplaying. Though a lot of people identified me as Compa and praised my costume. That was just... amazing for me! *_* I also felt very good being Compa and walking around in that costume, I think I'll wear it again.

Besides that cosplaying I met many people and cosplay friends. Talked a lot and I also met new people. :) And my sister Hanabi was also there. I'm always happy meeting me sister, because since I've moved away I don't see her often. So it's always great spending time with her. :)
Of course we made a lot of pictures and just had a good time... aaaaand I bought a cute Alpaca! <3 It's light blue with a lilac hat, Hanabi bought an Alpaca in lilac with a light blue hat. Alpacas are sooo cute and fluffy! :)

Here are some pictures from NiCon:

My convention time will start again 2014 when the bookfair in Leipzig starts in march. I hope future conventions will be as great as the NiCon was. I'm motivated for new cosplays and I think I'll also wear Lolita again on conventions. :)

I wish you all a nice week!

Yours,
Zhenya
