Outfit Post #11

I haven't worn lolita for almost 4 months because I've tried to concentrate on studying

so I decided to brighten up my day by dressing up.

Headbow, necklace & skirt: Bodyline

Everything else: off brand

 My hair has grown a lot since the previous outfit post. It's nearly the length I want it to be. :)

And now I have to head back to my study corner. I might make a room post some day so you could see where I spend most of my time.

Some changes & new reviews

Remember when I said I won't make any reviews until the first exams are over? Me neither.

The first exam is on Friday and I've spent the entire morning taking photos and writing reviews.

I will publish a new review every now and then.

I've been planning to change my reviews page to be more like a wardrobe page.

I have already made a Bodyline skirts page and I will continue to create more pages like that as soon as I get enough clothes to do so.

New year, new items

It's been over a month since I last posted and even the year has changed. I wish I could say that I've been busy preparing for the matriculation exams but it isn't completely true. Time just seems to fly by really fast on the last year of upper secondary school (=senior high). I can't believe there's only four weeks to the first exams including one of the two Finnish exams and three listening comprehension tests.

But, I think that's enough of that subject. I ordered some clothes from Bodyline for Christmas and they arrived a week ago and I decided to take some snaps of everything I got.

They put my order in two bags as usual.

I ordered my first two wigs and two clips for the other wig.

     

Naturally I had to get a wig cap and stands for the wigs too.

     

Two seemed to be the number of the day so I got two skirts.

     

This one I've already worn to school and I've got lots of compliments on it.

     

And finally second pairs of my (two) favourite socks.

I'll try to write a couple of reviews as soon as the first exams are over.

I will add the links to the reviews to this post.

Socks & reviews

For a tall girl with muscular legs it's sometimes hard to find nice socks to fit into. Luckily there are shops like Bodyline that sell socks at a more affordable price so I won't feel too bad if a pair of socks turns out to be a misfit.

I have actually ordered quite a few socks from Bodyline.
Today I was finally motivated enough to take some pictures and write a little about them.
You can find the pictures through the reviews section or just click here.
Worn photos will follow later. :)

I have also written a review on my pink DoL cutsew.

New Camera

Last month I got a new camera: Canon EOS 1100D. It's a lot better than my old Panasonic. I took pictures to show you how much better it exactly is.

Canon EOS 1100D

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS30

Bad lighting has always been a problem of mine but now I can take decent pictures even at night. For example here is a picture I took a couple weeks ago with my new camera.

And here's a picture of a rabbit on the parking lot taken with my old camera.

I don't understand why I still have this on my computer...

Another thing I love about the new camera is that I can choose what I want to zoom into.

I'm not good at writing so I'll just leave this close-up of the rose here.

All the pictures have been taken with the 18-55mm lens that came with the camera.

Shopping & Outfit Post #10

Last Saturday I went shopping in sweet lolita. I had taken a picture of the outfit at home with my camera but it was so blurry that I had to take another one with my phone when I found a mirror.

Headbow: BtSSB

Dress: DoL

Blouse: H&M

Socks: Bodyline

Shoes: Bodyline

The phone is actually new. My old phone hadn't worked well for quite a while and I had wanted to get a phone with a full keyboard for a long time so when I saw this on sale I couldn't resist buying it. It's Sony Ericsson's Xperia mini pro.

I found a pair of boots from the local shoe store and I decided to make an outfit around them for the Helsinki Book Fair I'm attending this Friday.

Vest: Dear Celine
Blouse: F+F

Necklace: F+F

Skirt: F+F

Boots: Tamaris

Here's a better picture of the boots.

They weren't inexpensive but I love them and they are perfect for lolita.

And here's what I've been thinking to do with my hair.

Rose: Bodyline

Headdress and lace around rose: F+F

P.S I sent email to QutieLand again because the tracking site still wasn't working and I got an answer that the site is under emergency maintenance due to China's National Day holiday. I've never had to go through so much trouble to get a pair of socks but I'm happy as long as I will get them. :)

Lolita Blog Carnival & other news

I have joined the Lolita Blog Carnival. I'm not good at explaining what it is so here's what F Yeah Lolita has written about it:

"it's a group of bloggers who all decide on a common topic to all blog about on the same day and then they follow up their post with a link to all the other blogger's posts about the topic. It's a great way to get involved with other Lolibloggers, get some blogging inspiration, and to promote some great blogs!"

You can get to LBC's facebook page through the icon on the right sidebar.

I sent email to QutieLand after I had posted last week and today I got an answer saying that my socks have already been sent. The tracking number in the message doesn't work but I suppose it's just going to take a while until it has been registered.


I've also tried to make the reviews page a bit more reader-friendly and I changed the blogs name from "Shizukaine de Revaillance" to "The Silent Revival".
