A Three-in-one Blog Post!

First of all, Happy New Year everyone! Second, here are the Lolita clothes I got for Christmas this year! :D

I also recieved another jumperskirt but I couldn't take a very good picture of it, and two pairs of lace gloves - one pair in white and one pair in black. I got other non-Lolita things as well, long story short I loved everything!

Lastly, I am thinking of introducing something new to my blog this year called Week of Lolita. What this will be, is for one week ( Maybe one week a month, maybe one week a year, or maybe frequently, I'm not sure yet. ) I will take pictures of the Lolita coordinate that I plan to wear that day and then say what experiences I had while wearing it. I hope this will help newer Lolitas to see what it's like in the life of someone who wears the fashion frequently, and hopefully even answer some things they may be wondering or calm some fears about wearing it out in public once they see it really isn't so hard after all! Feel free to tell me what you think of this idea.

What do you hope to accomplish this year?

Christmas!

My house is all decorated, I'm done Christmas shopping ( Unless I decide to spend some more next time I get some more money, which I probably will. ;) ) and all my gifts are all wrapped up. That's definitely a record for me!

I absolutely adore the Christmas season, it never fails to brighten up my mood no matter how the year has been going. The Christmas decorations around my house and in every store you go to, the beautiful songs like 'Carol of the bells', sitting around the fire with your family drinking cocoa, I love it all. But oddly enough the thing I'm looking forward to the most this year is all of the things I get to wear now that it's getting cold enough! Those of you from warmer places like I'm from can understand that, normally it's far to warm to wear anything more than the simplest Lolita that borders on casual, for me anyway. I'm really looking forward to wearing the ton of sweaters I got from my grandmother, as well as just about everything else I've been missing out on all year. I'm especially looking forward to whatever snow we might get!

So, what's your favorite thing about the holiday season?

Lolita Christmas Gifts on a Budget

I have finally succumb to the Christmas spirit. Every year I try to make it wait until December, but starting this year I think I'll just give up and feel Christmas-y starting in November!

So, I've decided to make a list of some Christmas gift ideas that would be good to give to your fellow Lolitas aside from the obvious like dresses. :) It includes links for examples and ideas. :P Some ideas are obviously better for different types of Lolitas ( Classic, Gothic, ect. ).

• Handmade gifts - they are very special, even if you can only make something small like a headdress.
• A manicure set.
• Cute jewelry and hair accessories from places like Claires.
• Different flavors of tea.
• An awesome pair of headphones like these ( Or you can make a cute pair ).
• Socks! You can never have too many pairs.
• Awesome cell phone decorations.
• A beautiful journal.
• Adorable erasers.
• Cute stuffed animals.
• Candy and other sweet treats.
• Lolita books or magazines.
• Make a scrapbook featuring pictures of her, the two of you or your entire group in Lolita ( If you have one ).
• Vintage accessories are great for Classic Lolitas, you can find them at a local garage sale.
• A porcelain doll or something for her BJD, if she has one.
• Alice in Wonderland - The book or one of the movies.
• Decorations for her room if she has a specific theme to it.

 Well that's all I can come up with for now, hope it helps!
