Witch-inspired Gothic Lolita Outfit: 'Forest Witch'

Hello my dearest readers,

as you might noticed I forgot about blogging almost the whole year, but today I thought 'Why not bringing this blog back to life?' and that's what I'm trying to do. I'm not sure, if I'll manage to blog properly, but we will see.

Anyway, I'm starting this with my latest Lolita Fashion outfit. I haven't worn Lolita for a really long time. There was no meet-up for me this year. But I always wanted a Witch-inspired Gothic Lolita outfit, so before Halloween this year I bought a Witch-hat and decorated it. I also bought a broom, coordinated a fitting outfit and grabbed my fiance for a photo-shooting in the park. I wanted a witchy-autumnly atmosphere for the pictures and I'm very happy with our results. 

 

Hat: Toys are us (& self decorated)
Blouse: Bodyline
Dress: Alice and the Pirates
Tights: Primark
Boots: Deichmann
Broom: Réal (& self decorated)

We also made a short video with this outfit:

Did you enjoyed Halloween this year? I had a relaxing evening with spooky movies and Halloween sweets. :)

Wishing you all a great start into this new week!

Yours,

November Lolita Meet up

Hello my dearest readers,

I'm late again with my entry, but I have something Lolita related to post, because I was able to attend the local meet up last month and I was so happy to finally wear Lolita fashion again! <3

So, on november 21st my boyfriend and I were on our way to Bremen. Unfortunatly there was soccer game that day and some fans damaged our train and it had a delay for an unknown time. We were so angry, 'cause the train is just driving just once per hour, which meant we were an hour to late for the meet up. =_='
Anyway, when we arrived in Bremen we walked straight up to the Café and met the other Lolitas. We ate tasty cake and I drank hot chocolate. I was also very happy to finally meet Berrii again. <3

The Meet up itself was way too short for my taste. Somehow we didn't stay in the Café for so long. We went outside for taking pictures - well, it was windy and rainy, so not the best conditions for a photo shooting. We rushed the group picture and for our single pictures we found a pretty place under a roof. But it was also very cold, so taking pictures didn't also take much time. We walked back to the main station and that was it... in the end the whole meet up itself was just 3hrs. :( But now to the pictures of the meet up:

 - My Sailor Lolita outfit - 

Hat: selfmade

Cutsew: Metamorphose

Tights: offbrand

Shoes: Primark

This weekend will be our christmas Lolita meet up and I'm already excited (and I hope it will take more time)! <3 I still have to think about a fitting outfit - which means I don't want to wear my Chess Chocolate again (well, I love that dress, but I've worn it the last two years for the christmas meet ups xD).

I wish you all a nice start into this week!

Yours,

Zhenya

My first follow me around: Hanami in Hannover April 2015

Hello my dearest readers,

sorry for my absence here. I had some stressful days and I often forget to blog here. >_<
But I have new Lolita stuff to show you: at the beginning of the month I bought a new Lolita skirt. It's "Melty Mermaid" by Alice and the Pirates and I'm so happy that I got it, because it was a dream item. <3

On the 19th april was a cherry blossom festival (short: Hanami) in Hannover (Germany) and I decided to wear that skirt. I also made a fitting headbow that day before.

 Headbow: self made

Blouse: Innocent World

Cardigan: Promod

Skirt: Alice and the Pirates

Socks: Offbrand

Shoes: Secret Shop

The festival itself was nice and sunny. Although all the japanese food was sold out too fast... which made me sad, because I wanted to try some of the food. T_T Anyway, we looked at the booth, but I didn't buy anything and we met some friends, I had a small photo shooting and in the end we took part in a picnic. <3

I took no pictures of the Hanami itself, but I made a short video, I'll link it at the end of this post. :) 

Here are two pictures made by RAWR-Shootings, he has such a talent with capturing pretty light:

 And here is my video, it was my first "Follow me around", so it isn't perfect and I'm also talking in german again:

Enough for today. At the moment I'm waiting for warmer days to start the "Lolita picnic season", at least I hope I'll be able to take part in a picnic meet up. ;)

Have a nice evening and weekend!

yours Zhenya

Lolita Meet up in february

Hello my dearest readers,

sorry I'm so late with my blog entry, because last month on the 21st february we had a Lolita meet up in Oldenburg (north Germany).
I chosed a dark outfit and combined my new "Alice in Wonderland " book bag with it.

The meet up itself was great - I had the chance to see lovely Berrii again. <3 The whole group went to the Café Klinge, we ate tasty cake and talked a lot. It was so relaxing - we also had the chance to take some pictures inside. Well, I know, the location itself is not the best, but it was cold and rainy outside... so taking pictures inside was a good option. ;)
In the end we also took some group pictures outside, because inside we had no space to take a picture of the whole group.

Even though the weather wasn't on our side we had a lovely meet up and I'm so looking foward to coming meet ups! :)

And now here are some pictures:

- The whole group -

 - My outfit: -

Headdress: Selfmade + Roses by H&M

Blouse: Bodyline

I hope the next meet up will come soon and I hope it will be a sunny day. I would love to spent a day in Lolita in a park again. :)

New Year: Christmas, Lolita meet ups & Welcome 2015 (picture heavy)

Hello my dearest readers,

well, it's been a longer time since my last entry again and a lot of things happened. I just had no time to post something during the last weeks. >__<''

So, first of all: HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! ^_^/
I hope you had a great start into 2015 and maybe you're excited what this year will bring. I'm very excited and I also made some new years resolutions:

1. Be more positive

2. Eat clean and do more sports

3. Handle my time in a better way

I'll see, if can an do it and if I'll be able to stick to these resolutions! How about you? Do you have any new years resolutions?
My new years evening itself was great! Me and my boyfriend had a small party in our flat together with beloved friends and my mother. We ate tasty food, played games and just had fun! :) And so we all had a nice start into 2015!

And now back to the days around christmas:
It was planned to visit the Christmas Lolita meet up in Bremen, but I wasn't able to go there. Instead I visited the Christmas Lolita meet up in Hannover, which was one day later. The meet up itself was lovely and I had a lot of fun that day. I would like to show you some pictures, but I still don't have the pictures of the meet up. But I can show you my outfit: finally I managed a satisfying coord with my beloved Chess Chocolate! <3

 Outfit rundown:

Headbow: Angelic Pretty

Cutsew: Angelic Pretty

Dress: Angelic Pretty

Socks: Angelic Pretty

Shoes: Bodyline

Accessories: Offbrand

Christmas itself was awesome! Well, I wasn't in christmas mood before it started, because the days before were more stressful than relaxing. But I had a lovely 24th december evening with my love and I got so awesome presents! ;////; <3 For example the artbook "Art of Alice: Madness returns", which is my favorite game!

On the 25th december we visited his parents, spent a nice day at their house with eating and relaxing and on the third day of christmas we drove to my hometown, where we visited my family. That meant again eating, relaxing, awesome christmas presents and I also met my beloved friend Berrii again! <3 We both had a small Lolita meet up with our boyfriends, we took some pretty pictures in a park (Damn!! It was so cold... x''D) and later we went to a Café. I was so happy to spent some time with her again! Here are a few pictures (yes, I was dressed up in Chess Chocolate again. ;3)

 - Pictures with Berrii and my outfit! -

On the 29th december we drove back to our flat and prepared everything for the new years evening.

I hope you all had a wonderful christmas time and a great new years evening! :D

Yours,

Zhenya

PS: I also made a "Get ready with me" video again about my Chess Chocolate outfit:

Lolita meet up: Eating pancakes on a ship

Good evening my dearest readers,

I wish you all a nice 1st advent and I hope you all had a great weekend. I spent mine with some shopping and I visited our local christmas market with my family. I like christmas markets, the smell of sweet and tasty food and all the pretty christmas things! (But I dislike the amount of people... >_<'')
How about you, do you like visiting christmas markets?

Anyway, last weekend we had a Lolita meet up in Bremen and went to "Admiral Nelsen - Das Pannekoekship". It's a ship that looks like an old pirate ship and they make tasty pancakes - sweet or hearty. Our Lolita group was bigger this time. 
After eating our yummy pancakes we were allowed to go to the deck of the ship and we took some pictures there. It was windy and a bit cold, but also funny and a ship is such a pretty photo location. :)
When we were finished with tai´king pictures, most of us needed to get their trains or busses back home, so we just walked back to the main station of Bremen.

It was a very nice meet up, somehow short, but we spent most of our time eating and drinking on the ship. And here are a few pictures:

My outfit:

Hat: Self made

I wish you all a lovely sunday and I good start into the next week and into december!

October 2014: Hannover Lolita Meet up

Good evening my dearest readers,

finally a new Lolita-related entry! //clap clap clap...
Anyway, I visited a local Lolita meet up in Hannover last saturday and the meet up was Fairytale/Halloween-themed so I took the chance and coordinated my beloved "Black Cat, Witch and the Apple Tree" by Alice and the Pirates. I made a fitting headbow (with small bats) for my outfit and although I got a cold, I was excited, because it's been a longer time since I've worn Lolita on a meet up. :)

The meet up itself was great! We ate at a Café called "Glücksmoment" (= Lucky moment). I got a carrot cake, which was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I got a super tasty Cake Pop and a Chai Latte with strawberry flavor. We also had a small tombola and I won a cute hairclip. *_*~
After that we went to the city park of Hannover and took photos - it was a bit cold, but I had so much fun wearing Lolita again and I'm really happy with the outcome of the pictures.

After the meet up I went to Primark and bought a moomin pajama - I just needed this! <3 (It's so comfy and perfect, when you're ill!)
So, the day was very nice! The meet up itself was well organized and all the girls were so friendly - I hope I have time for more Lolita meet ups during the next months.

And now a few pictures from saturday:

 - Mirror picture and selfie in the morning -

So this friday I'm invited to a Halloweenparty and I'm already so excited, because I love Halloween and I like my planned outfit (not Lolita) so far. 

How about you? Do you like Halloween?

Best wishes,

Zhenya

Zoo Meet up in Bremerhaven

Good morning my lovely readers,

last saturday we had a small Lolita meet up again. We met us in Bremerhaven by the north sea (here in Germany) and visited the "Zoo am Meer", which means zoo by the sea.

It was a cute small zoo with mostly animals around the sea, they also have an aquarium. I'm a big fan of aquariums and I love the watch water animals. <3 I could stand there for hours and gaze into the wather. x'D We saw Ice bears, seals, pinguins, owls, apes, pumas, rays, crabs, fishes and more. My favorites were the artic foxes - they are so cute! <3

Here are a few impressions of the animals:

 - Sleeping arctic foxes -

 - Sleeping puma and cute otters -

 

 - An octopus -

- Me with a big crab, which is called "Sea spider" -

Besides visiting the zoo we were in a café and took some pictures. It was very windy by the sea, so we weren't able to take pictures outside. (We tried it... x''D). We were four Lolitas and my boyfriend, but it was nice - we had a lot of fun. 

Here are our pictures and my outfit:

- Our group: Me, Nessi, Chi-Chan and Lolizzy -

 

 - A picture we made outside... it was sooo windy! -

- My outfit -

Headbow: Self-made

Blouse: Innocent World

Cardigan: Promod

Skirt: Self-made 

(I still have to add some lace to it, to make a longer. >_<)

Socks: Offbrand

Shoes: Secret Shop

Bag: Re-Style

 - Two pictures my boyfriend made in the aquarium, the first one is a snapshot -

How about you? Do you like visiting zoos?

Everyone have a nice rest of the week! :)

Yours,
Zhenya

Lolita Meet up: A picnic in May

Good evening my lovely readers,

last saturday were a small Lolita picnic from a local Lolita community. The weather god was nice to us this time, because during the last years we never had a picnic meet up - everytime we planned one, the weather changed from good to bad. This time we were lucky! <3
Everyone brought some tasty food and we enjoyed our day in the park. Just eating, talking and relaxing... of course we also took a few pictures.

Unfortunately I wasn't in the mood for pictures, because of unknown reasons I felt uncomfortable in my outfit. :/ (Now looking at it I like my outfit, I don't now what disturbed my mood that day...). Anyway, here are a few pictures from the meet up. (Sadly I forgot to take a picture of the yummy food we had.)

 - Our group: Mini, sora-ai, Lolizzy, Chi-Chan, Venedig, Manga-Girl and me -

 - Mini, Chi-Chan and me -

For the next meet up I hope I'll feel more comfortable in Lolita again. :') But the meet up itself was pretty nice.

Yours, 
Zhenya

PS: I hope I'll find some time to upload some more simple daily outfits again. The weather in Germany is getting better and hopefully I'll be more creative with my daily outfits.
