Today’s flatlay coord was posted on June 13, 2021 with the following caption:<br>

<i>Pink, Red and Ponies. 🐎<br >
Hey there, I'm still alive! ❤️ It's been ages since I last posted, but uni took up all my attention... I'm pretty much done now though, so I decided to create a new outfit again! 🎀
@marinette_in_wonderland really wanted me to use my pony bag in a coord, so I ended up coording it with Star Night Theater, with pink and red and some pony accessories. 🌌
I hope you like it! ✨</i><br>
<br>
It's been a while since my last post, but my university work required all my attention. Now I have passed my thesis and received my last grades, so I'm basically done and graduated! It's a bit of an empty feeling, as I've been at home for one and a half years by now... Oh well. ^^'<br>
When it was time for a new outfit post, I asked my friend what kind of outfit she wanted to see and as I've never used my pony bag for anything she wanted to see it used in an outfit! Here is the result: quite a "classic Angelic Pretty" outfit, you could say! I also managed to incorporate my new pink shoes into, which made me very happy. :3<br>
So, what do you think?<br>

I haven't been posting a lot on social media lately, not just on my blog. At the moment, I am in the final weeks of my studies and am very busy writing my thesis. Nevertheless, I wanted to post at least something on my blog in April and eventually decided on a few flatlay outfits I did a while back that were inspired by characters!<br>
I really love it when people go to Disneyland in character-inspired outfits. Did you know this exists? It's called Disneybounding and I really recommend browsing the tag on Instagram for hours of inspiring fun!<br>
I ended up creating three Disney character-inspired outfits myself and one Sanrio! As expected, three out of four are very pink and cutesy. XD Let's have a look!<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKasretjp6AJjelSNd4zIs_go6ju1qI5d1fcKB7lyH-vNJyuvs59CvfI1sPkW47lJMvYAmahD-T-Rv7stjaESn5FKepM0_MsIsD9TO0kynpptRlDoOSQmBL9bauMWA5WR1rgM_lMSy3BY/s1024/15-1.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKasretjp6AJjelSNd4zIs_go6ju1qI5d1fcKB7lyH-vNJyuvs59CvfI1sPkW47lJMvYAmahD-T-Rv7stjaESn5FKepM0_MsIsD9TO0kynpptRlDoOSQmBL9bauMWA5WR1rgM_lMSy3BY/s400/15-1.JPG"/></a></div>
This first outfit was posted on November 11th 2020 and was inspired by Marie of the Aristocats. I love pink and white color schemes, so I had quite some fun with this outfit, as it's Marie's signature colors! I decided on this cute, long-sleeved blouse and added a pink bow, as Marie always wears a big bow around her neck, which resulted in this cute, preppy look. I also incorporated my Disneyland Marie ears for obvious reasons and fluffy earrings as I am sure Marie is very fluffy and soft herself. :3<br>
<br>

This outfit was posted on December 8th 2020 and was inspired by My Melody. My Melody means pink to me, so I went with a mostly pink outfit. I chose Angelic Pretty's Fancy Paper Dolls JSK as a base as it has bunnies and even though they don't really look like My Melody, the idea is still cute. This character is often depicted surrounded by roses, so I added several rose accessories to this outfit and borrowed my mom's My Melody bag (which is also covered in roses). I chose my My Melody headband obviously and added a cute My Melody mirror as a cute touch.<br>
<br>

This outfit was posted on December 16th 2020 and was inspired by Minnie Mouse. Usually Minnie is depicted in her signature red dress, but when I found this fancy gold version of her I decided to try to give my own spin on it. I don't have a gold dress myself, so I went with black and many gold accessories. I also kept the original polkadots! I even added a parasol. Somehow looking at this outfit makes me really happy!<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnZjNKM5bbg3goow5yNwsF-NN0rPm6veF0R-3Mg9jr-42v6_m1o3H-ddRpoFjnENfEKAFsTXDxdheZmU-xNRkuybIx3EIN0bf4RgOyJRasxIyqSCIrAEnQmOns1pw-juIOeem8QskTDGg/s1024/15-4.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnZjNKM5bbg3goow5yNwsF-NN0rPm6veF0R-3Mg9jr-42v6_m1o3H-ddRpoFjnENfEKAFsTXDxdheZmU-xNRkuybIx3EIN0bf4RgOyJRasxIyqSCIrAEnQmOns1pw-juIOeem8QskTDGg/s400/15-4.JPG"/></a></div>
This last outfit was posted on December 23rd 2020 and was inspired by Shelly May. Shelly May is one of the Disney Sea characters. She doesn't really have a signature outfit, so I went with something simple and cozy. I don't often incoporate the color brown into outfits, but I ended up really liking this. Even though the outfit itself is not necessarily recognizable as Shelly May, the headband is, so I think I succeeded after all. ^^<br>
<br>
Have you ever created coord based on characters? Do tell me about it!<br>

I’ve decided that I’d like to start a new series so that once in a while I can write about a dress, other piece of clothing or accessory that I like for a bit. 気に入る or ‘ki ni iru’ means ‘to like’, ‘to be pleased with’ or ‘to be delighted with’, so I thought it would make a suitable title. For this first edition, I’d like to talk about Baby, the Stars Shine Bright’s new series ‘Kumya-chan’s Love Heart Embroidery’.<br >
<br>
This series consists of two JSKs, a One Piece, a head bow, a ribbon clip, wristcuffs, OTKs, two blouses and an outfit to match with your Usakumya. The dresses come in red, pink, sax blue and black. The picture at the beginning of this post seems to suggest there is a white version too, but it's on not advertised.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-JTUNcp0OrdpbAUykjYOfFC8o8CxIWosT5tlniRN8IIml5Y7LajhZCa6mNh1iI9Yhy5GI1uW2JZ2IXjmmhP8434p20tifSEUHlNGlEmu8at9nLwP9M44S2E48SatXP_wt5_Sp3VNaDbQ/s1024/1.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-JTUNcp0OrdpbAUykjYOfFC8o8CxIWosT5tlniRN8IIml5Y7LajhZCa6mNh1iI9Yhy5GI1uW2JZ2IXjmmhP8434p20tifSEUHlNGlEmu8at9nLwP9M44S2E48SatXP_wt5_Sp3VNaDbQ/s400/1.jpg"/></a></div>
The first dress in this series is the Kumya-chan's Love Heart Embroidery jumperskirt I. Do you see that incredibly adorable Kumya border!? Now ladies and gentlemen, please note that, as the name says, this is all <i>embroidery!</i> That's right, this series' adorable Kumya borders and other decorations are all embroidered! I don't know about you, but I absolutely <i>adore</i> this! ♥ The embroidery is white on the black, sax blue and red dress and dark pink on the pink dress. Personally I think the red and black versions of this series do the most justice to the embroidery, but the sax blue and pink dresses also look very adorable!<br>
This jsk also has a scalloped border on the chest, adorable heart buttons, polkadotted lace along the hem and <i>ears</i> attached to the straps! This dress is so cute, I can barely cope! ;0;<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXLLyh79ynw_9r7HSfWSIsp5GRPCVPZYQN8e0-afLC1Nj9g1WOw1JeEg6qL2m_PYzpWFaYeFnm5Y_NvfS-MvGY_njhwKp1_6I_8QoOixM3mrn6xKAD4O1YCY45m-UCctQmNAInq0GKdEY/s1024/2.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXLLyh79ynw_9r7HSfWSIsp5GRPCVPZYQN8e0-afLC1Nj9g1WOw1JeEg6qL2m_PYzpWFaYeFnm5Y_NvfS-MvGY_njhwKp1_6I_8QoOixM3mrn6xKAD4O1YCY45m-UCctQmNAInq0GKdEY/s400/2.jpg"/></a></div>
The second dress in this series is the Kumya-chan's Love Heart Embroidery jumperskirt II, a most inspired name. It comes with the same adorable embroidery as the first dress and polkadotted lace along the hem, but overall has a bit more of a classic feel to it. There are no ear-straps, but an elegant round collar, decorative corset lacing and a big bow. Although I adore the first dress, I think I prefer the second one, thanks to it slightly more mature feel. ♥<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPD0yZ75S7bwAbRGSGaZBJN_hNSNnZ9lkDUbhAcCPVJEjLgc8OPKnbCaWTu7XymTnVZMKkbr17uedO7p8d0cKrzTeWdn9tEZ9NDKVjKgMaN4XT17TQKMTlmdgd56ICD9V-U7hxizoXZAc/s1024/3.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPD0yZ75S7bwAbRGSGaZBJN_hNSNnZ9lkDUbhAcCPVJEjLgc8OPKnbCaWTu7XymTnVZMKkbr17uedO7p8d0cKrzTeWdn9tEZ9NDKVjKgMaN4XT17TQKMTlmdgd56ICD9V-U7hxizoXZAc/s400/3.jpg"/></a></div>
The last dress in this series is the Kumya-chan's Love Heart Embroidery one piece. Naturally, this dress also comes with the embroidery, but has (rather tight-looking sleeves) and a beautiful big collar with lots of lace. There is no polkadotted lace along the hem, but there seems to be shorter, regular lace instead. I'm not a fan of wearing one pieces myself and on the picture these sleeves look a little uncomfortable... I do like the overall look of this dress and the fact it has different lace from the JSKs.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWIUJhFnN22L3w_AeAN8Ne_uXpJtE3zhkGS4shIgZlOssXl8Vvn2OcG77cWD8qZV_BXF9T5oCWXmGCL96PMBlClXxoJ939tWGtzev1Wiy9j9mj8nQg7e4Oh5jefjKo9ANWTE01ul4d_2Y/s1024/4.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWIUJhFnN22L3w_AeAN8Ne_uXpJtE3zhkGS4shIgZlOssXl8Vvn2OcG77cWD8qZV_BXF9T5oCWXmGCL96PMBlClXxoJ939tWGtzev1Wiy9j9mj8nQg7e4Oh5jefjKo9ANWTE01ul4d_2Y/s400/4.jpg"/></a></div>
In case you're afraid you won't have a twin at the next Twin Meet, you can always buy a matching set for your Usakumya! Doesn't the little Usakumya in the picture look too cute!? ♥ I especially love how the embroidery hasn't been downsized to be on scale to the Usakumya; it's just left the same size as the actual dress. I don't know why, but I think that is super cute.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyOwuTsIeYK_Ywb3_5rwgdbGkCFTmrP8G051-kvyhAbMK9rtdDtZ27aYTR5dXTML_fRhKnyVRADKarNfP336RGENOOrW_nT3Y3lYKD9cqcHSyhEqGsNiKZGTDPj4u6218tMQGNaYlPamg/s1024/5.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="400" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="819" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyOwuTsIeYK_Ywb3_5rwgdbGkCFTmrP8G051-kvyhAbMK9rtdDtZ27aYTR5dXTML_fRhKnyVRADKarNfP336RGENOOrW_nT3Y3lYKD9cqcHSyhEqGsNiKZGTDPj4u6218tMQGNaYlPamg/s400/5.jpg"/></a></div>
The rest of the items in this series all come with the most adorable matching Usakumya lace! Look at that ribbon clip! It has little faces on it! ;0; ♥ The lace on both the blouses and the wrist cuffs have Usakumyas too. I love this level of paying attention to detail!<br>
<br>
So yes, in short: I absolutely <i>adore</i> this series! ♥ Surprisingly I think my favourite is the black colourway, probably because it shows the beautiful ambroidery so well. If I ever happen to come across the second JSK version, I would definitely consider getting it!<br>
Do you like the idea of me just talking about items, either old or new, once in a while? And do you like this series? Let me know! ^^<br>

<b>♥ Holo Space Fairy ♥</b><br>
<br>
Today’s flatlay coord was posted on March 4, 2021 with the following caption:<br>
<br>
<i>Holo Space Fairy. 🌈<br >
🎵 Space Girl, I saw a lunar eclipse<br >
Looked like how I feel 'bout your lips🎵<br >
<br>
This outfit is a little different from my usual ones, but I adore it honestly! 😍 I had been wanting to create this coord for a while, but I was missing just one last piece of the coord puzzle in my head. Finally, my @puvithel necklace came and I knew it was perfect! 💕
I combined my mint Shadow Dream Carnival dress and some bows with all holo accessories, from head to toes! It feels both cute and bold to me. What do you think? ✨</i><br>
<br>
When Puvithel announced they might discontinue their heart necklace line, I finally decided to get the necklace I had been wanting for a really long time and aaah, I'm so glad I ordered it! It's absolutely <i>gorgeous!</i> I had wanted to coord a holo x something coord and pretty early on decided on using my Shadow Dream Carnival dress for it, as it's a plain-coloured dress, so there's no print to make the holo disappear into. Almost as soon as the necklace arrived, I created this coord! Finally I could use my adorable Forever21 fairy wing backpack I wore last to the <a href="http://roselolitawonderland.blogspot.com/2017/11/london-17-day-2-tpc-dream-masquerade.html">Dream Masquerade event</a> in London again. Also, these poor holo shoes have been waiting a lifetime to finally make an appearance, but what an appearance it is! Can you tell I'm excited about this outfit? XD Sorry, I just really like it! What do you think?<br>

The next morning we got up at a reasonable time and had a delicious breakfast downstairs. After that, we got dressed into nice outfits, for we were going to a place we both had been very excited about: TeamLab Borderless in Odaiba! Get ready for a post with lots of aesthetic pictures. ^^<br >
In case you don’t know it, according to their <a href=" https://www.teamlab.art/">website</a> “teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective, an interdisciplinary group of various specialists such as artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and architects whose collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world.” They have several permanent and temporary art installations and we had bought tickets in advance for their permanent one called ‘Borderless’.<br >
As TeamLab’s artworks are immersive and you can walk right through them, many people recommend you wear light colours, so my mom and I had prepared light and flowy outfits in advance.<br >

<center><i>Our light outfits of the day for a visit to the museum!</i></center>
<br >
We had to travel for a bit to the museum’s nearest metro station, Aomi, but as it was a lovely day we had fun just looking out the metro’s windows. Our metro also drove over the Rainbow Bridge, which is always great fun!<br >
I had been on Odaiba once before, during my first trip with my father, but since that was in 2011 it had been ages since I had last been there. My mother had never been there before though, so we were both excited.<br >
We got off the train and saw a ferris wheel with colorful seats and it turned out that, in order to get to the museum, we had to walk right past it. It was freaking huge!<br >

<br >
It was quite hot in the sun, but luckily the museum wasn’t far from the station. It was still pretty quiet, there were not that many people around yet. After our visit to the museum I saw a really nice poster for it and took a picture with it, but for the sake of continuation I’m posting it now. ^^<br >

<br >
Soon we arrived at a big, black building that didn’t look very special on the outside, but was in fact the museum. <br >
We were welcome by a friendly staff member who showed us to the locker room. Besides cameras and phones, you weren’t supposed to bring anything into the museum. Luckily, they were plenty of lockers and even devices to stall your umbrella (I thought that was especially amazing)!<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj_jybGPdiMAQq-ncuIuyUlGzGc3igbelbW0xaKJwLeJYisv1m9-v-gkRrPv_fNlYXgaj3xkbdWM4k_oerUViSZwIwZptXK0GuEqkDqK_AONnKl8ziisRC-o8jkVlV4lakolPsc9EMXKs/s1024/4.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj_jybGPdiMAQq-ncuIuyUlGzGc3igbelbW0xaKJwLeJYisv1m9-v-gkRrPv_fNlYXgaj3xkbdWM4k_oerUViSZwIwZptXK0GuEqkDqK_AONnKl8ziisRC-o8jkVlV4lakolPsc9EMXKs/s400/4.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>Special devices to stall your umbrella, how amazing is that!?</i></center>
<br >
We walked back to the entrance, showed our tickets and joined a small group of people waiting in front of a thick, black curtain. Above the curtain was a tv screen that explained some things about the exhibit, after which the group was welcomed to walk through the curtain. Somehow I ended up in the front. I walked through a long, dark hallway into… what was basically a fairytale in the dark.<br >
I entered a giant room filled with walls, panels and mirrors, all covered in projected flowers and floating flower petals, mostly in a red, blue, pink and purple colour scheme. Ethereal music played and I was absolutely mesmerized.<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggyoQrtOxBSRfJrgpoxRupd1ZBDCjzrK-bJXYlKdYlE3Y9-UCvE57LZLgRTM_Es9yfNd8o8LtkGNneAGyppC_VAHeVOjv-wLcI62YViNRTmPFCDYqMsxEAJFWj5A5NRe5UaCidltIXvFo/s1024/5.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="400" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="819" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggyoQrtOxBSRfJrgpoxRupd1ZBDCjzrK-bJXYlKdYlE3Y9-UCvE57LZLgRTM_Es9yfNd8o8LtkGNneAGyppC_VAHeVOjv-wLcI62YViNRTmPFCDYqMsxEAJFWj5A5NRe5UaCidltIXvFo/s400/5.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>I felt like I had walked right into a fairytale!</i></center>
<br >
This artwork was called ‘Forest of Flowers and People: Lost, Immersed and Reborn’. The flowers bloomed, grew and shrunk, while the petals fluttered by. The projections went all around the room, across the floor and touching the people walking around. The mirrors made the already big room seem to go one forever.<br >
My mom joined me and we just walked around, touching the walls and projections, mesmerized by everything around us.<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQpGQuUe6g4OUYGK6JxhYTs8sOX6gfWIrnJDSsD8xfHkXpjhKG3-Mj9o52X2In3GhqOABYdUvvXhDnqjuJEUPmgCCdg7_I2fMi8epx7c1uSx8CTzTAYoCXn4-I7BeK4OFsmlLDYmitlYc/s1024/6.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQpGQuUe6g4OUYGK6JxhYTs8sOX6gfWIrnJDSsD8xfHkXpjhKG3-Mj9o52X2In3GhqOABYdUvvXhDnqjuJEUPmgCCdg7_I2fMi8epx7c1uSx8CTzTAYoCXn4-I7BeK4OFsmlLDYmitlYc/s400/6.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>I was completely enchanted by this amazing place!</i></center>
<br >
Sometimes the projections were very light, sometimes they turned darker. There was movement all the time and nothing seemed repetitive. It truly was like an ongoing artwork.<br >
After our initial wonder, my mom and I started taking pictures! We are by no means professional photographers and the conditions were tough, so not all pictures turned out perfect, but it was mostly about the experience itself anyway. Still, we managed to take many beautiful pictures!<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg84zz-IZ_ooutybM0pH4EsmRTAWCUW4-MBcMvki4Q9AKojL1R2HV7GZ0ilUxqcW-ACUKaa60cr4HErYcQ4UaXr7xjLqfNHE6oYDpVBnArIb4lCDCWGQJsQlZBrA4gjk4r6Kk-KxP-IEqA/s1024/7.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg84zz-IZ_ooutybM0pH4EsmRTAWCUW4-MBcMvki4Q9AKojL1R2HV7GZ0ilUxqcW-ACUKaa60cr4HErYcQ4UaXr7xjLqfNHE6oYDpVBnArIb4lCDCWGQJsQlZBrA4gjk4r6Kk-KxP-IEqA/s400/7.jpg"/></a></div>
<center><i>Pink-themed pictures.</i></center>
<br >
I was really glad we had followed the advice to wear light clothing. The flower projections looked absolutely ethereal on my flowy skirt and because there were so many mirrors, I could admire myself as part of the beautiful fairytale!<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqM4pr6A2LQsNNZwBVeFOysPegGaKR6rVoQ6BXHHZ5cgYGvKkGhjU05GpSPwC3aSDtlBE5k4wujOASb5b1aPx_l0VogNdGGlM7CcuV4UHTOFMwpLZXaFB27HViCTvDKr6Iu6OGPP5PGqo/s1024/8.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="819" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqM4pr6A2LQsNNZwBVeFOysPegGaKR6rVoQ6BXHHZ5cgYGvKkGhjU05GpSPwC3aSDtlBE5k4wujOASb5b1aPx_l0VogNdGGlM7CcuV4UHTOFMwpLZXaFB27HViCTvDKr6Iu6OGPP5PGqo/s400/8.jpg"/></a></div>

<br >
After what felt like both eternity and not nearly long enough, we started to make our way the next art installation. There are no maps of TeamLab Borderless, you’re supposed to just wander, so we did.<br >
We came across a beautiful art installation that was built like a hill, but we decided to come back there later. We walked on and soon found ourselves at the art installation called the ‘Crystal World’. The name was well chosen. Thousands and thousand of light strands hung down from the ceiling. They regularly blinked and changed colours. The floor, walls and ceiling were made of mirrors, which made the room seem to go on forever here too. Dreamy music played, enhancing the experience even more.<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ9fFxyC-lmNY7csxjzoTI4GrAI6BNTFAJP9eIujZ5R1LGvOfkT5RmLqlPLnGN9OeoXj2CI5w8jKehdCyPvpkvkPS_ylplWPQu-ORWrJDVoaMdzpMSsjygtchkh1TSuOYGpFrPdqGn57w/s1024/9.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ9fFxyC-lmNY7csxjzoTI4GrAI6BNTFAJP9eIujZ5R1LGvOfkT5RmLqlPLnGN9OeoXj2CI5w8jKehdCyPvpkvkPS_ylplWPQu-ORWrJDVoaMdzpMSsjygtchkh1TSuOYGpFrPdqGn57w/s400/9.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>The Crystal World, a very fitting name.</i></center>
<br >
Contrary to the big flower room at the entrance, where you could walk freely, this art installation had paths leading through it. This made it harder to take pictures without getting other people appear in them. My mom had a specific picture in mind she wanted to try and take, so as usual I followed her instructions and stood still for as long as necessary, which resulted in one of my favourite pictures of the day!<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuWNiBmZXKcvOcznJwRorBkik12uh8zLel3FhyU_JkIF2tJcqIuNuEW_VOStzTzVuyZ6eJxP0P5bXAXGff3_NhKUmE38d22Xfipkq2nIB_APjQDpWzkoJ1YNP1OLEr-OD4EoVAlYZIKQ/s1024/10.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="400" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="683" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYuWNiBmZXKcvOcznJwRorBkik12uh8zLel3FhyU_JkIF2tJcqIuNuEW_VOStzTzVuyZ6eJxP0P5bXAXGff3_NhKUmE38d22Xfipkq2nIB_APjQDpWzkoJ1YNP1OLEr-OD4EoVAlYZIKQ/s400/10.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>Staring into the crystal void.<br >
I think this picture turned out so dreamy!</i></center>
<br >
My mom and I followed the path and at one point found ourselves in a corner of the room, which was popular among other visitors as it gave you the opportunity to pose with your mirror image without any other people. After a bit of waiting, we managed to take some pictures there too.<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhot7hzIo7x5CFlQEcTuwg4JyxRXFw3RC-dleSLNyE3fnmT6Ga2gRAcXP4i3d2jMppY257UZC1fwsmpVgrodgvkF0Vt6-9Pm4u-_YOKQxkBXIrpNXQr8sRder8oVIvPnunFhuKxOfWj7kM/s1024/11.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="400" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="683" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhot7hzIo7x5CFlQEcTuwg4JyxRXFw3RC-dleSLNyE3fnmT6Ga2gRAcXP4i3d2jMppY257UZC1fwsmpVgrodgvkF0Vt6-9Pm4u-_YOKQxkBXIrpNXQr8sRder8oVIvPnunFhuKxOfWj7kM/s400/11.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>My mom posing with her mirror twin.</i></center>
<br >
I really loved roaming around the Crystal World, although the paths and people felt a bit restricting. I liked the roaming around freely a lot more, but still enjoyed myself a lot. This place was just so pretty! ;_; The lights, the music, everything was just gorgeous! <br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSY6qvUsN8q8Zogg1Ut1VzXqhVZD1-sSkTdk-tvGBGANhtgFdljpV5Vn2jWn4xAETDqyyoAZkOazebpOSpJuiqjhPbrEnBT_yHYImLd1IpTtmq2bDYMG6nJJHszvJi3gHO5LJN12Mb5M4/s1024/12.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="764" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSY6qvUsN8q8Zogg1Ut1VzXqhVZD1-sSkTdk-tvGBGANhtgFdljpV5Vn2jWn4xAETDqyyoAZkOazebpOSpJuiqjhPbrEnBT_yHYImLd1IpTtmq2bDYMG6nJJHszvJi3gHO5LJN12Mb5M4/s400/12.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>I really loved the Crystal World a lot!</i></center>
<br >
My mom and I left the Crystal World again and I spotted an art installation up some stairs I had seen on pictures before: the ‘Forest of Resonating Lamps’. This was a room filled with lamps hanging from the ceiling that slowly changed colours. There were mirrors all around again, creating a beautiful effect. For this artwork we had to stand in line for a bit, as only a limited amount of people could enter it. Standing in line wasn’t boring at all though: they had a window into the room (which was a mirror on the other side), so you could already enjoy the artwork from the outside. Also, a very enthusiastic kid ran face first into the mirror/window, which was painful for him but also a bit hilarious for the people in line. XD<br >

<center><i>Waiting to enter the Forest of Resonating Lamps.</i></center>
<br >
The lamps, which had been bright orange first, turned into a soft and pale light and once we were allowed to enter, mixed with mint. Somehow my blue skirt also looked mint in this lighting, so I matched the room quite well. As there was a time limit, we quickly snapped pictures and looked around in awe.<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsm1iAX0LIl95WJhgAZMZXa4HanQMUJnCHYFqTxOSsZ0aaSjq1gLgCVKJuaXSnUr0LDUhpkoEnqorSjSMFFzMkDD6i7F2xZ6n7JgWMO8G4OBMbbhS6LlcmAKu1YA0jxiQ6fOJHc1jtPPk/s1024/14.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsm1iAX0LIl95WJhgAZMZXa4HanQMUJnCHYFqTxOSsZ0aaSjq1gLgCVKJuaXSnUr0LDUhpkoEnqorSjSMFFzMkDD6i7F2xZ6n7JgWMO8G4OBMbbhS6LlcmAKu1YA0jxiQ6fOJHc1jtPPk/s400/14.jpg"/></a></div>
<center><i>Posing in the Forest of Resonating Lamps.</i></center>
<br >
After a while, the lamps went back to their initial bright orange, which we liked a bit more than the pale lights. However, it was time for us to go, so we obliged. ^^<br >
My mom and I walked back to the art installation with the small hill, which was called ‘Universe of Water Particles on a Rock where People Gather’.<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1S-_6zpMOGSPuLeZEvM0AZxtp4J8zIliKafSb3rlwFvQCMI1gXUb8Gxs8xsidLyKnrqsky8I9cOrSKk-Uo0i_8L7Jedq8q-OpLjEuPPZHg_kZsnx2D4mCktU6wdjXH7FmHup_k2Yz8U/s1024/15.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="684" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB1S-_6zpMOGSPuLeZEvM0AZxtp4J8zIliKafSb3rlwFvQCMI1gXUb8Gxs8xsidLyKnrqsky8I9cOrSKk-Uo0i_8L7Jedq8q-OpLjEuPPZHg_kZsnx2D4mCktU6wdjXH7FmHup_k2Yz8U/s400/15.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>The Universe of Water Particles on a Rock where People Gather</i></center>
<br >
This huge room had projections on three walls, with falling rain on the wall above the small hill and blooming and disappearing flowers. After a while we realised that this artwork was even more interactive, as they detected where you stood, after which the projections responded to your presence. The falling rain would ‘bounce off you’, or flowers would ‘grow on you’. It was amazing!<br >

<center><i>We were really made part of the dreamy art in this room!</i></center>
<br >
Now that I think about it, maybe two pictures of one of the earlier collages in this post were taken in this room as well… Well, the artworks are meant to flow over into each other so it doesn’t matter, haha!<br >
On the other walls there were Japanese writings projected. Apparently these were interactive too, as I saw a staff member show something to a visitor that seemed interactive. <br >
After a while, the dreamy purple and blue flowers changed into yellow sunflowers, which I also really liked. Which means? More pictures.<br >

<center><i>I didn’t appreciate this picture so much until I started going<br>through my pictures for this blogpost. I really like it!</i></center>
<br >
After walking around for what seemed like ages and again not long enough, we left the room and wandered around for a bit. Somehow I discovered some stairs that let to a balcony overlooking both the Universe of Water Particles on a Rock where People Gather, where we had just been, and the Forest of Flowers and People. It was very dark there. It almost felt as if I had found a secret corner of the museum (which of course wasn’t the cause, but still). Just looking down at the people admiring the art and taking pictures felt really serene. I could have stayed there on that balcony for hours…<br >

<center><i>The view from the “secret” balcony.</i></center>
<br >
Finally we left the balcony again and my mom and I roamed around for a while. We certainly didn’t visit every artwork, as not all of them interested us, there was a line (for some) or we simply didn’t find them.<br >

<center><i>Some of the other artworks we passed.</i></center>
<br >
We passed the stairs back to the Forest of Resonating Lamps again and we decided to enter it a second time, to see if we could see and take pictures with the orange lamps this time and we were lucky!<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCKKkYnumbWskub7l-Vle0qr-ZqKEi0P1D0I4V3tfVFN7-lt0q0sRsIfill7MYK23yS7AnBYGHd5HxWDGBp5K40QTeNkc9F03AjZBdSsVouVSCrev8m0NDvMNsmPbc0It5ucoSeG0dxR0/s1024/20.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCKKkYnumbWskub7l-Vle0qr-ZqKEi0P1D0I4V3tfVFN7-lt0q0sRsIfill7MYK23yS7AnBYGHd5HxWDGBp5K40QTeNkc9F03AjZBdSsVouVSCrev8m0NDvMNsmPbc0It5ucoSeG0dxR0/s400/20.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>Our second visit to the Forest of Resonating Lamps gave us orange lamps!</i></center>
<br >
The bright orange was really beautiful and made me think of traditional Japanese lanterns. I really loved the glowy orange atmosphere, a lot more than the pale lights (even though those were already very pretty too). We had a lot of fun taking pictures a second time!<br >

<center><i>I really love how these pictures turned out. What do you think?</i></center>
<br >
At this point my mom and I were getting quite tired and so we decided to slowly head for the exit. Right at that moment however, I suddenly spotted an entrance to a room we had definitely not seen yet, so we wanted to check it out. I am <i>so glad</i> we did, because we then discovered the ‘Black Waves – Continuous’.<br >
In this octagonal room, rising and falling waves were projected onto the walls continuously, accompanied by slow, meditative music. In the middle of the room were bean bags, where visitors could lie down and enjoy the art.<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQEmt0vSwsHsIBidbST-99VJNQLJWwNVL_IT2WS7DVPqTJ2IdtyResdH4-ghfbrPit9Zc8pj-k1pddO-Q7iSyCgB-pieqAWSZBlNRHRTBJAyuvcQhtX80QJK2woGg5ZdiXIszw0cogq6M/s1024/22.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="682" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQEmt0vSwsHsIBidbST-99VJNQLJWwNVL_IT2WS7DVPqTJ2IdtyResdH4-ghfbrPit9Zc8pj-k1pddO-Q7iSyCgB-pieqAWSZBlNRHRTBJAyuvcQhtX80QJK2woGg5ZdiXIszw0cogq6M/s400/22.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>Digital waves passing by.</i></center>
<br >
I can’t say that Black Waved – Continuous was my favourite artwork, as everything was just so incredibly beautiful. However, it is high on my list. The continuing waves were mesmerizing and the soothing music seemed to travel right through my body. At some point my mom and I managed to get a bean bag each and just closed our eyes, listening to the music (after shushing some loud people) or looked at the waves passing by. It was an incredibly relaxing experience and I could have stayed there forever.<br >

<center><i>Taking pictures was particularly hard here, but we managed<br>to take some stunning ones after all!</i></center>
<br >
With pain in my heart we left the waves behind and made our way to the exit. We did take some more pictures with the flowers and also asked a staff member whether they might have a CD of the music used in the museum for sale. Unfortunately, although Japan has gift shops for everything, there was not. However, while writing this post, I found out to my great happiness that the composer is on Spotify! Look for TeamLab Borderless and you will certainly find a list. I very much recommend it, it’s so relaxing!<br >
We found the exit, walked through a set of dark hallways and suddenly found ourselves back into the light of the normal world, having left the fairytale behind. My mom and I both got a cute sticker to commemorate our visit. <br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1FsN8O9cnB38xgBpWl_p9eGny2BLevsBtQ3ohLr2vO8SD38ukRtLxO1g2Q08Di6kfPWPmtblBSNqhQlVpVyU9_2OjGSdDJJpkKYKdgco8CEdE7j11Y3u9mHaPSsNVR6lUk41zksqJDcg/s1024/24.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="819" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1FsN8O9cnB38xgBpWl_p9eGny2BLevsBtQ3ohLr2vO8SD38ukRtLxO1g2Q08Di6kfPWPmtblBSNqhQlVpVyU9_2OjGSdDJJpkKYKdgco8CEdE7j11Y3u9mHaPSsNVR6lUk41zksqJDcg/s400/24.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>Proof we really visited!</i></center>
<br >
We picked up our things from our locker and left the building. It was far into the afternoon and we had gotten quite thirsty, so we entered the Wendy’s right across the museum. We’d never been to a Wendy’s before, so that was a first. We got ourselves some drinks that were recommended on the posters throughout the restaurant and found ourselves some seats.<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg_2pE6svXHLW2Yo-GNkaVm7JG6YEEeHRV_m3UJ5gtqmEapghhBUueJwVy5Q3NkHrI7AtYzoNVADazmiJAiQ5WWxNcgW8g7PFZD9iayT4OMcn6Jvj-r2vkv8_-s0FdnZAujVb45xwaSWc/s1024/25.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="400" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="745" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg_2pE6svXHLW2Yo-GNkaVm7JG6YEEeHRV_m3UJ5gtqmEapghhBUueJwVy5Q3NkHrI7AtYzoNVADazmiJAiQ5WWxNcgW8g7PFZD9iayT4OMcn6Jvj-r2vkv8_-s0FdnZAujVb45xwaSWc/s400/25.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>Drinks from Wendy’s.</i></center>
<br >
The drinks were really good and a very welcome distraction from the heat outside. We discussed a bit about what to do now and decided to head back for the hotel and rest there for a bit, so we went on our way, all the way back to Shinjuku. Taking the first metro from Odaiba was really fun though, as it was automated (so no driver) and we had a great view of the Rainbow Bridge and the city on front of us.<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl8hEJl9QEG9Z0gZNBypl9JIwG6hAS8ms70uOf7_msTZEzQ6ctB1qdzphWXK2sc4gO9dHuDMAbYjxK9_ewac-TDkkMJR4h9BJ3mK_5aZkg2GHclLhpMJ5OzeDWC8sW8NHqExa3gF_Abxc/s1024/26.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl8hEJl9QEG9Z0gZNBypl9JIwG6hAS8ms70uOf7_msTZEzQ6ctB1qdzphWXK2sc4gO9dHuDMAbYjxK9_ewac-TDkkMJR4h9BJ3mK_5aZkg2GHclLhpMJ5OzeDWC8sW8NHqExa3gF_Abxc/s400/26.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>The view from the metro was so cool!</i></center>
<br >
Back at Shinjuku station, where it was very crowded, we were suddenly inspired to get ourselves some more drinks, this time at Honey’s Bar. We’ve passed this small show right on the platform every time during our trips and never tried any of their drinks. As I had seen someone review it very positively in a YouTube video, I at last felt obliged to try some, so we did!<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPm4CL7MMbK2miLY4y-UCgnl4wDkmA1k0Y_kGfY4rt5d_SvwjMU1IipvInZ-g8_vBPtndlqbSfDOHLujntoQUhqgeXxD1SJiDnPt1SEDxd2EMHc1QDXyBdMaOV4HcPH8b9NbHafsNKgUM/s1024/27.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="400" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="819" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPm4CL7MMbK2miLY4y-UCgnl4wDkmA1k0Y_kGfY4rt5d_SvwjMU1IipvInZ-g8_vBPtndlqbSfDOHLujntoQUhqgeXxD1SJiDnPt1SEDxd2EMHc1QDXyBdMaOV4HcPH8b9NbHafsNKgUM/s400/27.jpg"/></a></div>
<center><i>Getting drinks from Honey’s bar, at last!</i></center>
<br >
The drinks were super fruit and very delicious, so I too very much recommend them. :3<br >
My mom and I left the station, got ourselves a snack at bakery Hokuo and headed back for the hotel, where we relaxed on the bed for a while.<br >
However, it wasn’t for too long, as we were going to meet a friend of mine in Shibuya that night! So we went on our way again.<br >
We took the metro to Shibuya. Right when the train doors opened, I let out a squeak, completely startling my mom! I saw a poster for the Takarazuka Revue show ‘I Am From Austria’, out in the wild! I was so excited, I <i>had</i> to take a picture with it!<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkxDhTPNOQI6Ol3uN34ZacH1qy_h-hU2PXW8UlhKLP2fM4G1hxPEdYpEFBCQMUNqldBjHpUC0UFux50ulgFsu7Zdw_s0Bauu6bfjOgN0ZhG_u4dyztUmAy1e8jaMg_cWCkk_JcpO3RMzY/s1024/28.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="400" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="683" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkxDhTPNOQI6Ol3uN34ZacH1qy_h-hU2PXW8UlhKLP2fM4G1hxPEdYpEFBCQMUNqldBjHpUC0UFux50ulgFsu7Zdw_s0Bauu6bfjOgN0ZhG_u4dyztUmAy1e8jaMg_cWCkk_JcpO3RMzY/s400/28.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>I was so excited to spot this poster at Shibuya station!</i></center>
<br >
My mom and I left the station and headed for the statue of Hachiko, where we would meet my friend, and not long after we arrived there she appeared as well. As we had never met in real life before, only online, I was quite excited!<br >
We decided to go to Shibuya 109, to go to the amazing Purikura place there, so we waited for the traffic lights and then crossed the world famous crossing.<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAL2qCeiEO2uQOVOCQlXqNoqadqM_OJpGq-Xi1N0US5wg0dqruwtsil14kNw3jXJ3xsAUV2CMoUHhJUfLS4iuSdC01H5oElYUuaqaCdJR4SXe6iDlsjQM2NUVybj5DQuECdDp7IfgHoC8/s1024/29.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="696" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAL2qCeiEO2uQOVOCQlXqNoqadqM_OJpGq-Xi1N0US5wg0dqruwtsil14kNw3jXJ3xsAUV2CMoUHhJUfLS4iuSdC01H5oElYUuaqaCdJR4SXe6iDlsjQM2NUVybj5DQuECdDp7IfgHoC8/s400/29.JPG"/></a></div>
<center><i>Shibuya by night.</i></center>
<br >
Unfortunately, after searching all over the upper floors of Shibuya 109, it turned out that the amazing place had been taken down and replaced by a much smaller corner at one of the bottom floors. I was quite disappointed, but since we wanted to do Purikura, we headed there and picked a machine. Luckily, the machine was really cool, with a giant moveable camera! It was quite fun. I especially loved the result picture cards, as my friend is really into goth and I like pastels, so our cards came out quite the opposite! XD<br >
We had gotten quite hungry and ended up having dinner at a cute café in Shibuya 109 itself called Ma maison, so that’s something I can cross off my list as well. ^^ The food was great, but the desserts were even better. :3<br >

<center><i>Dinner and desserts. ♥</i></center>
<br >
We chatted for a long time and eventually headed back for the station, where we said goodbye. I was so happy I was able to meet my friend! ;_;<br >
My mom and I headed back for our hotel, where I prepared some things for the next day and my mom relaxed. Then, we went to sleep. It had been a magical day!<br >

<i>Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️<br>
One can never have too many hearts, roses and love letters on a day like this, right? If I went on a Valentine's Day date, I would definitely wear this outfit! Anyone wanna be my date? 💌✨</i><br>
<br>
Some say that red x pink is a taboo combination, but personally I absolutely love it! And for Valentine's Day I love it even more! I've worn an outfit with this dress and cardigan combination <a href="http://roselolitawonderland.blogspot.com/2014/03/lolitas-in-red.html">before</a> which I really liked, so I wanted to create a sort of update on the old outfit by adding many roses, hearts and love letter motifs to it. I really like this outfit and definitely want to wear it at some point! What do you think?<br>

<i>Lovely Poodles. 🐩💕<br >
My first coord of 2021 could really be with no other dress than Lovely Poodle, right? I absolutely adore this series so much! I think this simple coord really brings out both the cuteness and the elegance of this dress. What do you think? ✨</i><br >
<br >
I can’t tell you how much I love this dress. ;0; I mean, I dedicated a whole post to it, so that might have given you an indication already.<br >
I think this dress is both sweet and elegant, so I tried to bring out its cuteness with the glitter shoes and ankle socks and its elegance with a pretty pearl necklace.<br >
Ah, I can’t wait to wear this outfit at some point! Do you like it?<br >

As I wrote in my <a href="http://roselolitawonderland.blogspot.com/2020/12/angelic-pretty-2020-online-christmas.html">Tea Party post</a>, Angelic Pretty has quite a lot of wonderful things in store for their customers for 2021. The other day, they posted pictures of all the models in their new prints and since I like reviewing, I thought I'd do a little review of them! There are two collections: the Brand New Collection and the Premium Dress Collection. The first one I'll mostly describe what I see, by the second one I got a bit giggly, so beware. 0:) <br>
<br>

<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Moco moco Bunnys</b></font></FONT><br >
Moco moco Bunnys (interesting spelling and capitalization) seems to come in sax blue and yellow for sure. It's an all-over print, featuring pink, blue and yellow bunnies that resemble Angelic Pretty's Lyrical Bunny. The JSK, worn on the left, has a bow at the neckline in a different color from the dress and a line of tiny balls along the hem. The OP, worn on the right, has a collar in a different color from the dress and a dotted bow. Instead of the tiny balls, it seems to have a lace border. Based on these looks, this series comes with cute bunny ears bows, but although both models have different ones, I can't be too sure.<br>
I quite like this series, I get a very soft feeling from it. Although I'm rarely fond of yellow, I really like this print in yellow. It seems very soft and cute. I'm not too sure about the tiny balls hem, as it can look a bit cheap. I do have to admit that usually when I see an Angelic Pretty dress in real life, it always looks better than the picture, so I'll stay neutral for now. In general I like this series, but I'm not psyched over it.<br>

<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Bear's Chocolaterie</b></font></FONT><br >
Bear's Chocolaterie seems to come in mint and pink for sure. It's an all-over print with chocolates and bears wearing cook- and maid outfits. Along the hem, trimmed with brown lace, there's a border of chocolate and bows. The OP, worn on the left, has a colour with a brown bow and frilly sleeves. The JSK, worn on the right, has a heart-shape on the chest and an apron. This series seems to come with both a head bow and bear ears.<br>
I think this print is super cute! The bears are adorable and chocolate is always a big hit. The blouse on the right model also seems super cute and don't get me started on the socks! This series gets a big yes from me!<br>

<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Little Bunny Strawberry</b></font></FONT><br >
Little Bunny Strawberry seems to come in white and pink for sure, but also in yellow, as seen on Risa Nakamura in my post linked at the top. It's a border print with giant strawberries, bows, white flowers and pink bunnies on a cloth of delicate lace, sprinkled on from above by falling strawberries, flowers and lace. The OP, worn on the left, creates the illusion that it's an off the shoulder dress, while it actually isn't. It has many red bows and a cute ribbon belt. The JSK, worn on the left, has a side bow at the chest and the same cute belt. Both dresses have strawberry lace along the hem. This series seems to come with a head bow and perhaps that hat with bunny ears?<br>
Oh geez, I am <i>in love</i> with this series! Thanks to the picture of Misako, Risa and Rinrin, I was able to see the details of this dress really well and it's so cute! Not only is the print absolutely darling, but all the bows and delicate extra lace look beautiful. Also, it seems this print is accompanied by adorable bunny and strawberry accessories! I am definitely looking forward to this one!<br>

<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Wish me mell</b> -Whip Cream Princess-</font></FONT><br >
Wish me mell -Whip Cream Princess- (quite a mouthful) is a collaboration with Sanrio. This series has already been released, so we already know what the cuts and colours are like. Wish me mell comes in pink, mint and lavender and consists of an OP, a JSK and a matching bow with bunny ears. The OP has mid-length sleeves, a belt and a collar with a bow that matches the dress color. The JSK has three bows, bunched up lace that looks like whipped cream and also a belt. Both dresses have lace along the hem.<br>
I think Wish me mell is a super cute character and I love the colors and cuts of this dress. I wouldn't be surprised if this dress becomes another highly sought after item, as it's officially not sold outside of Japan (unless you have, you know, a shopping service).<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsrZhARJBmRCz5jnhsHA90n45-ZufqTA4kHyjybUMogI6jLmnYMLxo_DPn-6iyLtEFWbGQ9TYgHCMfkLcGuYzB_oWcCJyQw97LzUCez4n6hKPdQhcLsNY2AtoqKVs5YoNnhrep0Ky4TMc/s800/5.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="677" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsrZhARJBmRCz5jnhsHA90n45-ZufqTA4kHyjybUMogI6jLmnYMLxo_DPn-6iyLtEFWbGQ9TYgHCMfkLcGuYzB_oWcCJyQw97LzUCez4n6hKPdQhcLsNY2AtoqKVs5YoNnhrep0Ky4TMc/s400/5.jpg"/></a></div>
<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Secret Daisy Garden</b></font></FONT><br >
Secret Daisy Garden seems to come in sax blue and pink for sure, but also in lavender, as seen on Risa Nakamura in my post linked at the top. It's an all-over print, featuring delicate daises and a checkered pattern. Both dresses have a bustle at the front, lined with buttons (which don't actually close, according to Misako), several small bows and layers. The only difference here is that the OP has simple, mid-length sleeves and the JSK does not.<br>
I'm glad I got to see a more detailed picture of Misako wearing this dress, because the above picture don't do it justice. This series has a very country feel to it, but when looking up close and seeing all the lace, layers and chiffon, these dresses are a lot more elegant than you might think. The front bustle also makes it quite princess-like. The only thing I really don't like is the bodice of the OP. It looks boring and uninspired to me. Combining the JSK with an elegant blouse will very likely look way more beautiful.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEfZTWxKZ73ckn2TgBgy1JEAXIlXUDxuSR8Pn_HifXAcmDvVRQbhhvLP4vwjz8THeqGZUPGwbVDYohqGPiUtwatWG_l0b8lzAjlFxBdCji1nFzbA2sh0kLkBeP-wbcSmMoZo_5Ok3Uz80/s800/6.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="687" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEfZTWxKZ73ckn2TgBgy1JEAXIlXUDxuSR8Pn_HifXAcmDvVRQbhhvLP4vwjz8THeqGZUPGwbVDYohqGPiUtwatWG_l0b8lzAjlFxBdCji1nFzbA2sh0kLkBeP-wbcSmMoZo_5Ok3Uz80/s400/6.jpg"/></a></div>
<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Jelly Candy Toys</b></font></FONT><br >
Jelly Candy Toys seems to come in pink and lavender for sure. It's an all-over print, featuring bunnies, bears, bows, stars and jelly beans looking like gummies. The salopette, worn on the left, has deep arm pits and three layers to the skirt. Both the salopette and the JSK, worn on the right, have a scalloped design on the chest with see-through buttons that look like candy. The JSK has lace along the hem. It seems this series comes with a sun visor with bunny ears on it.<br>
This print is cute, vibrant and that very Sweet Lolita many people like. Combined with a freaking <i>sun visor</i> of all things, I think this series is going to be a big hit!<br>

<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Charles</b></font></FONT><br >
Charles seems to come in lavender for sure. This opulent dress looks like a pirate outfit gone Lolita, with its tassles, rosettes, fringes and layers. The tricorn with massive feather really tops the whole look off.<br>
I never really know whether Premium Dress Collection dresses are actually being sold and if they are, I don't even want to know what their prices are, but I am so incredibly in love with this look! I love military jackets, I love pirates, I love Lolita, what more could I want? This dress and this look are what my dreams are made of!<br>
<br>
<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Wishing Dream</b></font></FONT><br >
Wishing Dream seems to come in navy (is it navy? black?) for sure. This big, frilly dress is made for any Lolita who loves layers and layers of lace and bows. You could match the curtains in any fancy hotel's room with this dress.<br>
I don't know why, but I both like and dislike this dress? I like its many layers of lace and at the same time that's exactly what bothers me. Perhaps it's the clash of the dark fabric and light lace? Maybe it would look better in a lighter color.<br>

<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Dramatic Heart</b></font></FONT><br >
Dramatic Heart seems to come in red and pink for sure. It certainly lives up to its name because damn this dress is dramatic. Layer upon layer of red and white create the ultimate Queen of Hearts look. The JSK with its asymmetric side drape and trimmed with bows will surely slide any attention into your DMs (what?).<br>
I am absolutely sold on the OP. This dramatic explosion of chiffon(?) is so over the top I can't help but adore it. The JSK on the other hand is not to my liking. I can't do asymmetry, I just can't. I mean yes a cute side bow like with Little Bunny Strawberry I can appreciate, but a whole side curtain takes too much of my sanity.<br>

<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Traditional Tea Time</b></font></FONT><br >
Traditional Tea Time seems to come in... whatever that color is for sure. I mean what is that? Dusty green? I mean I'm all for using different colors in Lolita, but this is a bit... Anyway, I can't decide whether I should call this a lace monster or a bow monster, as both seem to be equally divided among this dress. There also seems to be some party going on at the bodice, not sure what kind of party though. As you can tell, I am not a fan of this dress. The hat on the other hand is <i>to die for!</i> More hats in Lolita please!<br>
<br>
<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Blooming Ribbon</b></font></FONT><br >
Blooming Ribbon seems to come in lavender for sure. Now if Traditional Tea Time came in <i>this</i> color I might actually like it. The lavender looks beautiful against the white lace and pink bows Although I'm not quite sure what that butterfly-esque bow is ding on her waist, I do think this dress is lovely and look forward to hopefully seeing more of it.<br>

<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Secret Daisy Garden</b></font></FONT><br >
Another Secret Daisy Garden, this time in OTT version. It seems to come in green for sure. Although the front bustely has been taken out, this version gives you a ruffled V-shape on the chest, leading down to a big bow on the waist. More Vs on the skirt part lead down to flowers on bows, framed by ruffles of yellow and pink. I know I just said I hated Traditional Tea Time in green, but this green I actually find lovely. In fact, I think this dress is lovely from top to bottom. It's as if Marie-Antoinette had a dress designed to go to her private farm but in Lolita style. Also that hat slah bonnet thing? Gorgeous. I don't know why, but I worship this dress and definitely hope it comes in more colours, that I will then never buy.<br>
<br>
<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Mille-feuille Princess</b></font></FONT><br >
Mille-feuille Princess seems to come in pink for sure. This cute dress has many lace layers, mid-length sleeves and is for some reason stacked with sax blue bows. Why the blue bows? I really think sticking to pink would have been better? Also sorry to be mentioning Traditional Tea Time, but since millefeuille means 'a thousand leaves', perhaps it would have suited that dress more seeing as it seems to actually <i>have</i> a thousand leaves. But I digress. I actually like this dress and also again <i>the hat!</i> More! Hats! In! Lolita! Please!!!<br>

<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Polaris Waltz</b> -Virgo-</font></FONT><br >
Polaris Waltz -Virgo- seems to come in pink for sure. This long flowy nightgown looks very lovely in motion, but no beautiful movement can save this dress from those <i>damn green ribbons!</i> What's up with the green AP? Why green? Now I'm even starting to think it's just the light and it's in fact beige or ivory? If that's the case and I just misremembered, I apologize and withdraw my statement. I actually like the concept of this dress, it just has a bit too many ribbons for me. Also, I could make a virgin joke here, but I'll keep it classy.<br>
<br>
<FONT COLOR="#EA6297"><font size="3"><b>Polaris Waltz</b> -Cygnus-</font></FONT><br >
Polaris Waltz -Cygnus- seems to come in ivory for sure. Look, I get it. Cygnus = swan, but did we really need <i>that</i> many feathers? I love the feathers on the headdress and around the wrists, but the hem trim and especially that neckpiece make me want to sneeze. Feathers in motion are beautiful, but sneezing is not the motion you're looking for. Nevertheless, I do think this dress and the concept are gorgeous. The big, flowy sleeves are like swan wings. This dress is truly fit for a princess. Perhaps just a little less feathers.<br>

Happy New Year everyone! As this is my first post of 2021, I feel like I can still say that right? ^^ It seems the world is still on fire, but in my little corner of this planet I have something fun to talk about, so let's get to it.<br>
Back in <a href="http://roselolitawonderland.blogspot.com/2020/12/lovely-poodles-are-comin-our-way.html">this post</a> I talked about one of Angelic Pretty's prints, Lovely Poodle, that I had completely fallen in love with and how I ordered a new dress after such a long time. Well, finally it has arrived, after being stuck in my <i>own</i> country for who knows how long and I am absolutely in love with it! So despite having done an extensive review of this series, I'm going to talk about Lovely Poodle even more! ♥ <br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw8FymeqHOEEh-Equ2eXI99zMJ81bOwBdk5C5YvgA0y72ZsiSrPX1lLefPPxhlWlbGzYq2sxXQRoJiXQzQy6GM82D_eWF8uWYxJtALqS1I80w3cYw1rmIR2dIwlv_7_YDUCUuZZG-IckA/s1024/1.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="400" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="682" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw8FymeqHOEEh-Equ2eXI99zMJ81bOwBdk5C5YvgA0y72ZsiSrPX1lLefPPxhlWlbGzYq2sxXQRoJiXQzQy6GM82D_eWF8uWYxJtALqS1I80w3cYw1rmIR2dIwlv_7_YDUCUuZZG-IckA/s400/1.JPG"/></a></div>
I received the package last Tuesday and did a live unboxing on my Instagram! Despite my nervousness it was really fun. You can still watch the video on my profile if you like. ^^<br>
This dress is honestly everything I've wanted and more. It has a gorgeous, sort of dutsy pink colour and I think it's a bit longer than my other dresses, or at least it gives off that vibe.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVWDyb09udMpmUf1WFoQeFh71j3z2ntwrBym6jVWodz7pAGdoUBpbzjcXR7N9aZCDq1J-zK0Aylij1r94nPjaMH_zVpT-OYavvcLS-DNufc0qWeFOV_lF9ZGHSjAGJuYxs7FOIA1Laj-o/s1024/2.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="400" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="819" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVWDyb09udMpmUf1WFoQeFh71j3z2ntwrBym6jVWodz7pAGdoUBpbzjcXR7N9aZCDq1J-zK0Aylij1r94nPjaMH_zVpT-OYavvcLS-DNufc0qWeFOV_lF9ZGHSjAGJuYxs7FOIA1Laj-o/s400/2.jpg"/></a></div>
The bodice has a heart-shaped neckline, lined with frills. I put it on my mannequin with a frilly shirt, which I think complements it nicely. Because of the heart-shape, longer and more ornate necklaces look really lovely with it, as you can see.<br>Down the bodice there are no less than four lavender bows; one at the top with long ribbons, two underneath it and one bigger one on the waist.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9O7mXtFSGsGyHBD-gNEbERo31rceqsNJcAS_-t10lonNuUnfVgLNrERhJR951Dk9oGyhDP05Bwyb7ZR4EnU7a0aWTkAK3DpmfZwPiqsjlOM2xWUOQu_3NRMNkPResxkEFuJ0R3_v3QFQ/s1024/3.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9O7mXtFSGsGyHBD-gNEbERo31rceqsNJcAS_-t10lonNuUnfVgLNrERhJR951Dk9oGyhDP05Bwyb7ZR4EnU7a0aWTkAK3DpmfZwPiqsjlOM2xWUOQu_3NRMNkPResxkEFuJ0R3_v3QFQ/s400/3.JPG"/></a></div>
I was quite excited about the little belt I had seen on the promo pictures, but seeing it in real life and up close made me even happier. The belt is made of delicate rose lace, looped with the same lavender ribbon as the bows. It's so dainty, I adore it!<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVe1Hj9rTG4AvYyCiUaNuja3EBagpPTp3a9mxrAKkuou-SSmhwcFIFnxfAvQKeK17QBXQk0d4UuwfPkVdd530BW2yItH72A7UrrSEj7imqKRkYe03SbdI_huP4EF-GsAJtzKKlOVCQfXI/s1024/4.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVe1Hj9rTG4AvYyCiUaNuja3EBagpPTp3a9mxrAKkuou-SSmhwcFIFnxfAvQKeK17QBXQk0d4UuwfPkVdd530BW2yItH72A7UrrSEj7imqKRkYe03SbdI_huP4EF-GsAJtzKKlOVCQfXI/s400/4.JPG"/></a></div>
Then, of course, the print. Honestly, the print is everything I imagined, mostly because the promo pictures were very clear and the print is vibrant enough to really stand out on pictures. There's three main poodles in white, pink and lavender and adorned with bows, accompanied by a poodle lamp, a phone, a love letter, a pillow, paintings and scattered pearls, all in front of a background of stripes, swirly decoration and bows. There's even a tiny plushie version of the lavender poodle! As this is a border print, the upper part of the dress consists of big polka dots and the silhouettes of the poodles.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe9qRt1ifcdSZhB1S2qx7VAMxlC7NZhdsOiZu8nRNwaS74S45DJEgpYe9KTuV3yq-kjqKa3tikDwShoIFoyLFY51hSIs4O1ciFYcqwRHfSZo6wRlVC_F_clReRbafM3DewJyOzWpf3AZs/s1024/5.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe9qRt1ifcdSZhB1S2qx7VAMxlC7NZhdsOiZu8nRNwaS74S45DJEgpYe9KTuV3yq-kjqKa3tikDwShoIFoyLFY51hSIs4O1ciFYcqwRHfSZo6wRlVC_F_clReRbafM3DewJyOzWpf3AZs/s400/5.jpg"/></a></div>
These are the three main poodles. Aren't they just super cute? ;0; I've decided to name them. The white poodle, with her cute pink bows and fluffy tail, is named Rosalia. The pink poodle, with her pearl necklace, bows and blue eyeshadow, absolutely looking like a queen, is named Charlotte. The lavender poodle, who looks slightly derpy with its little tongue sticking out is named Philip. I love them all as if they were my children.<br>

I love Angelic Pretty's lace in general but this dress has freaking <i>poodle lace!</i> Are you kidding me!? Look at the little fluffy babies, I adore them! ;0;<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl9ZLIzVQ0KfdkwTX7IvWU4bY1l9sjy6ROvulWMkoGmoi1L4LwCZCB2Xo7WXTaT3dRyzl3AmX4-91OAOboqgs_eyWMLd45bNMOc0Nx9Lt0wIG6_rLApogwvHPjJNb9f1pTJeTir3OI3ro/s1024/7.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="400" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="819" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl9ZLIzVQ0KfdkwTX7IvWU4bY1l9sjy6ROvulWMkoGmoi1L4LwCZCB2Xo7WXTaT3dRyzl3AmX4-91OAOboqgs_eyWMLd45bNMOc0Nx9Lt0wIG6_rLApogwvHPjJNb9f1pTJeTir3OI3ro/s400/7.jpg"/></a></div>
I ordered the headbow with the dress and it matched it so well! Of course it has the same colour, but it's a side bow little frills along the hems, which I think suits the dress really well. And it has a silver bow charm as well!<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZYgbG8hid6Esgwo8LT2jSfgbX0iH2-UnbjovGjLfpa76Lqj9XvX4AgzqRxdJPGyL_2YuqySiq0KchcCsHa3YF_2LQ2ml1HQQSI2AsCZaTu5eAMzdAt_2JSXkuOqhqrCBmRcnREq6hCDU/s1024/8.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" height="400" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="683" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZYgbG8hid6Esgwo8LT2jSfgbX0iH2-UnbjovGjLfpa76Lqj9XvX4AgzqRxdJPGyL_2YuqySiq0KchcCsHa3YF_2LQ2ml1HQQSI2AsCZaTu5eAMzdAt_2JSXkuOqhqrCBmRcnREq6hCDU/s400/8.JPG"/></a></div>
So yes, to say that I am absolutely head over heels in love with dress is not an overstatement. I think it's stunning and I am so grateful to my past self for deciding to order this dress after thinking I had lost my love for Lolita. I definitely feel motivated to try my best and step back into the fashion again! ♥<br>

We're at the brink of leaving 2020 behind and stepping into 2021. I think it's safe to say that 2020 has been a particularly crappy year for all of us, so I'm not regretful leaving it behind. Naturally, it's not as if all problems solve itself January 1st, but with positivity on the horizon I'd like to try and stay a bit positive myself too (although it's been <i>damn</i> challenging lately).<br>
<br>
I haven't looked back upon the past year since 2016 and starting to do it again now might seem a bit of an odd moment, but here's the thing. I admit I haven't worn much Lolita this year. In fact, I've only worn one actual Lolita outfit this year and it was in only in the last month, but it's still more than in 2019. XD However, thanks to <a href="http://lolita-rubanrose.blogspot.com/">my friend Emilie</a>, I've started doing a lot more flatlay coords! So much so, that I ended up with 16 flatlay coords since starting at the beginning of May. Back then, a lot of Lolitas were doing remote twin coords on Instagram and Emilie asked me if I wanted to join her, but as I didn't feel comfortable enough to wear any dresses, she suggested we did twin flatlays. Since then, I've tried to post flatlays regularly, sometimes with delight, sometimes a little forced, but always with lovely results. I'm fairly proud of my work and decided to put them all into one post here, to prove to myself that 2020 wasn't all bad. At least, not in terms of (flatlay) Lolita outfits!<br>
<br>
So here they are, my 16 Lolita coords of 2020!<br>

Looking at these outfits fills me with a sense of pride and happiness. I hope I can continue this personal trend in 2021, or even better: actually wear some of them. Happy New Year everyone!<br>

On Sunday December 13th I attended Angelic Pretty Paris' online Christmas Tea Party, called 'Fairy Snow Party'. Covid-19 and pandemic aside, it had been a really long time since I'd worn full Lolita and attended anything, so it was quite a big deal for me. Unfortunately, due to circumstances, I wasn't able to wear the outfit I had officially planned on the day, so with my hair and make up already done, I had to come up with a different coord as fast as I'd never done before. I ended up wearing Cameo Window again, in a simple yet elegant way. Despite the rush, I was really happy with how it turned out! I hope you like my first outfit in ages. ^^<br >

The Tea Party started at 5 pm, but the chatroom was open before that. Although I was really nervous, I went into the room before starting time and even ended up chatting a bit! That was very nice.<br >
At 5 pm, the Tea Party started and we were welcomed by Taka and Emilie from Angelic Pretty Paris. Unfortunately, the first twenty minutes were filled with technical problems, especially with sound, but as I could imagine the organizers must have been so stressed, I waited patiently. In the end, they appeared again, with a microphone, and everything ran smoothly after that. ^^<br>

We got to see videos of Angelic Pretty designers Maki and Asuka greeting us and we got an exclusive look at the fashion show showing off Angelic Pretty's new designs for the upcoming year. It was really fun to watch and chat with the guests at the same time. There are some absolutely amazing things coming up, so keep an eye out! My favourite outfit was a pastel pirate Lolita look, complete with tricorn!<br>
We then got to see videos where Maki and Asuka talked a bit about a few designs coming up together with models Misako Aoki, Risa Nakamura and Rinrin Doll. As the fashion show video was an exclusive one just for us, I can't show any pictures of course, but Rinrin shared the following pictures on her Twitter, so I'm sure these are fine!<br>

First they talked about the new prints as seen in the picture above. I really like the versatility between these looks, from Misako's elegant flower look to Risa's summery country look to Rinrin's cute pop look. I especially love Rinrin's cap, even though that design is usually one I dislike!<br>

Then they talked about some re-releases, as seen in the picture above. Especially the news that Sugary Carnival will be released again was met with a lot of worldwide excitement! ^^<br>
After that we had a bingo (I didn't win anything sadly) and contests for the best Christmas decoration, food and outfits. We could all send in pictures beforehand and the staff would choose their favourites. My friend Marina ended up winning best decoration, which was absolutely deserved!<br>
Here are the pictures I sent in for decoration, of my little pink tree called (Jingle) Bella, and food.<br>

By then, the Tea Party was coming to an end and it was announced that every attendant would receive a 10 euros discount code for their next purchase and receive a special Lovely Poodle keychain with their purchase. The discount code was later changed to 20 euros, because of the trouble with the technical difficulties, which I think was very kind.<br>
Even though I had some setbacks with my outfit, I'm glad I ended up participating, because I had a lot of fun, in the safety of my home.<br>

Hi everyone! Happy International Lolita Day - Winter Edition! I hope you managed to have a nice day if you were celebrating, or just in general of course. ^^<br>
<br>
For a while, I wasn't paying too much attention to Angelic Pretty's new releases. That is; if a new release passed me by on for example Instagram or Facebook I would take a look and perhaps comment on it, but it wasn't more than that. That is, until recently, when I fell in love with one of the prints that was announced in a magazine: Lovely Poodle. After that, I checked Angelic Pretty's social medias religiously every Thursday, but the print didn't show up. Until now! Last Thursday, at last this very-much-catered-to-my-interest print was announced for release! As I love it so much, I'd like to take this opportunity to talk about the print, colours and cuts of the dresses.<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0wVy8a202QwJnStbsKMWvEfS00SWVP8JN6Dot_K92V0xt3QcDps8Nt3IOR56_k2Yyd5V1y_-QYByjG0X-T4imEk6HK1W4EpRcFjeAabfQwEI5BG57nYMszBI-cyxyewqHnSRLCutrXm8/s1024/Lovely+Poodle+2.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="614" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0wVy8a202QwJnStbsKMWvEfS00SWVP8JN6Dot_K92V0xt3QcDps8Nt3IOR56_k2Yyd5V1y_-QYByjG0X-T4imEk6HK1W4EpRcFjeAabfQwEI5BG57nYMszBI-cyxyewqHnSRLCutrXm8/s400/Lovely+Poodle+2.jpg"/></a></div>
First we have the One Piece. I immediately fell in love with this print as I love dogs. Unfortunately, if a Lolita brand releases a dog print, most of the time it's poodles. However, I actually really love poodles! And aren't these poodles especially super cute!? I absolutely love them! ;0; ❤️ I really like how the poodles have different colors and how the color of one of the poodles is reused in the bows in the print and in the bow on the collar. Although I wouldn't necessarily think of Lovely Poodle as a winter print, the OP, with its long sleeves and closed collar, looks quite cozy for winter. It also has very visible pockets, which I adore, and a belt with a bow. Somehow this dress feels a little retro style to me and I love it!<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdspFbPRi0N9mCjFhHvsKSD1CDbLCkfzdRoxnwzPNTOwlLJSAQJhMw3JEEej8PyLeNEa-53v4HdbcEdMrLIj4UfWpkqWu1x23nF5aEO5jsF-ZodGX5GGv2s4HZJYwpsNiIS9w06vIiPnc/s1024/Lovely+Poodle+3.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="614" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdspFbPRi0N9mCjFhHvsKSD1CDbLCkfzdRoxnwzPNTOwlLJSAQJhMw3JEEej8PyLeNEa-53v4HdbcEdMrLIj4UfWpkqWu1x23nF5aEO5jsF-ZodGX5GGv2s4HZJYwpsNiIS9w06vIiPnc/s400/Lovely+Poodle+3.jpg"/></a></div>
Then we have the Jumperskirt. Here we have the same print of course and here too the color of one of the poodles is being reused in the bows on the print and in the multiple bows on the chest. Contrary to the OP, this dress actually feels rather summery to me, with its broad straps and frilly hem. It also has a belt-like look, but here it seems there's a ribbon laced through, which I absolutely adore! ❤️ Also, to my great delight, it has full shirring! Looking at Angelic Pretty's recent releases, a lot of them only have partial shirring, which is not as plus size friendly as people might think. <br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-FT-hgB3-QNoOwKWn0FUnJ0BA0ui1Mp-2OiHB6euh7VqL5f4CJw3gqsM1cI41BeoCN0JBfSZC6ofrIVdGE6NTAtUixQ_VSH_GgyHN1kJhB8Oqv1hrP_LxQQCQRWv7vC8TR6QYmpvjz38/s600/Lovely+Poodle+4.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; clear: right; float: right;"><img alt="" border="0" height="320" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-FT-hgB3-QNoOwKWn0FUnJ0BA0ui1Mp-2OiHB6euh7VqL5f4CJw3gqsM1cI41BeoCN0JBfSZC6ofrIVdGE6NTAtUixQ_VSH_GgyHN1kJhB8Oqv1hrP_LxQQCQRWv7vC8TR6QYmpvjz38/s320/Lovely+Poodle+4.jpg"/></a></div><br>I haven't fallen in love with an Angelic Pretty print like this in a long time and ended up reserving the pink JSK and headbow through a shopping service the same afternoon I saw it. Waiting for the release was so frustrating, aaah! But it seems my shopping service managed to get the items for me! I can't wait to receive them! ;0;<br>
<br>
It's been a long time since I was this enthusiastic over a Lolita brand release. I've been quite out of it, so I'm wondering: have there been any releases in 2020 that enchanted you? Did you manage to buy one or did they end up on your wishlist? Do tell me please! ^^<br>

On December 13th, Angelic Pretty Japan will hold a big online Christmas Tea Party, where they will have a fashion show to show off their new collection. The Christmas Tea Party is always quite a big deal, so I'm glad the Lolitas in Japan will have a replacement Tea Party online in the current world situation.<br >
<br>
However, Angelic Pretty Paris has announced they will have a Tea Party on the same day, called 'Fairy Snow Party', a few hours later than the one in Japan! They will be showing a video of the fashion show, there will be chatting, a best dresser contest and a best Christmas decoration contest! And I just bought myself a ticket an hour ago! :3<br>
<br>
It may seem a little extravagant to some, but I am really happy honestly. I used to be a faithful Tea Party attendee and with the current world situation and not being able to go anywhere, I'm looking forward to seeing people again, even if it's just online!<br>Now to think of an outfit...<br>
<br>
Will I see any of you there by any chance!?<br>
<br>

<b>♥ Lavender Jelly ♥</b><br >
<br >
Today’s flatlay coord was posted on October 27, 2020 with the following caption:<br >
<br >
<i>Lavender Jelly. 💜<br >
One of my first Lolita dresses was lavender and I've always been saying how I wanted to add lavender shoes to my wardrobe. Nearly ten years later I finally got a pair and aren't they super cute!? 😍<br >
I created a mint x lavender coord with them and I'm very pleased with the result! What do you think? ✨</i><br >
<br >
Isn’t lavender and mint just a gorgeous combination? Just looking at this flatlay coord makes me so happy!<br >
I’m really happy to finally own lavender shoes and they’re so cute too! I took them as the outset of my outfit together with my Jewelry Jelly dress, just started adding both lavender and mint items and before I knew it, I was done! I’m honestly really happy with this coord and would love to wear it someday, aaah! I hope you like it too!<br >

Wow, from that title you’d probably expect quite a sad or negative post, huh? Well, it’s actually the opposite!<br >
I’ve been working on myself for quite a long time now and although I’ve made progress in several fields, sadly on the subject of my self-esteem I still have a very long way to go. This sadly also caused me to turn away from Lolita. I’ve always continued to love the fashion, but on others and not on me.<br >
<br >
However, something happened. One could even speak of a miracle! I saw some advertisements of Angelic Pretty in Spoon magazine, announcing their new Fall/Winter collection and I fell <i>head over heels</i> in love with one of their new prints. That same day I had a therapy session that was somewhat life-changing and before I knew it, I’d sent an email to my shopping service. The dress hasn’t been released yet by the time this post goes online, but I’m hoping soon!<br >
<br >
The day after, I was meeting with some friends (keeping safe social distance) and I decided to dress up a little. Heck, I decided to wear a Lolita skirt and petticoat! The outfit I ended up with would probably be considered <i>very</i> casual Lolita, maybe not even that. But all I know is that it made me feel happy, like Lolita should. This was my outfit, I hope you like it!<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-L8wxucxp3gmcjik3fmoLUiIENRAx8h3LzwbvfEk9T62LOQxxq7auAh9DHJGifOZgClcg3T_epFKkTL_EXeUnvDoog9QDt8ckQc_H_aF3OXfB6AfDuzARp3fThz0rh5R1KhXZb1emrPc/s1024/Blogpost-klein.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-L8wxucxp3gmcjik3fmoLUiIENRAx8h3LzwbvfEk9T62LOQxxq7auAh9DHJGifOZgClcg3T_epFKkTL_EXeUnvDoog9QDt8ckQc_H_aF3OXfB6AfDuzARp3fThz0rh5R1KhXZb1emrPc/s400/Blogpost-klein.jpg"/></a></div>
So yes, I’ve worn a semi, sort of, casual Lolita outfit and have fallen in love with a dress again. It seems I’m taking a tiny step back into Lolita. Hopefully many more steps will follow.<br >

<b>♥ Young Lady Lavender ♥</b><br />
<br />
Today’s flatlay coord was posted on August 24, 2020 with the following caption:<br />
<br />
<i>1/3 of the dresses I had followers vote for to make an outfit with. 💕 I always call this dress lovingly 'my curtain dress'. I wanted to make a classic and elegant outfit with it, with lavender and white as the main colours. What do you think?</i><br />
<br />
As written above, I let my followers decide on what dresses I should coord. I gave them three times the choice between two dresses, and in the first round it was Dramatic Rose versus Candy Treat, with Dramatic Rose emerging as the victor! As I’ve never worn this dress before, I wanted to share this outfit on my blog as well.<br />
As this dress has quite a difficult shade of lavender, I didn’t really know what to coord it with at first, which eventually led me to combine it simply with white. I ended up quite liking it! I used a simple, elegant and flowy blouse. I put white rose clips onto simple white shoes to give them just a bit of extra detail. I added my new white Angelic Pretty hat and added a small clip on veil for an extra splash of white. The end result reminded me of a young, elegant girl, hence the name of this outfit. I hope you like it!<br />

<br >
Unfortunately, due to the <a href="https://roselolitawonderland.blogspot.com/2020/06/why-i-never-wrote-about-tokyo-2017.html">trauma of 2017</a>, I didn’t sleep well at all. Despite the prescribed sleeping- and calming pills, I couldn’t sleep anyway and I was freaking out. Finally, by repeating breathing exercises over and over again, I fell asleep somewhere around 3 am.<br >
When the alarm clock went off, my mom and I put on some clothes and headed downstairs for breakfast. I was still quite sleepy, but excited because I love breakfast, haha! I was super happy to see the lady working there I had seen several times before, who is really nice and smiley. She is so kind and was there most days of the week! ♥<br >
Even though I was sincerely convinced I could never have rice for breakfast, during this trip I completely came around. I had rice with nori every single morning, combined with all kinds of food and absolutely loved it! Breakfast at our hotel had the greatest variety was wonderful every day.<br >
<br >

<center><i>I never thought this could be my breakfast someday, but here we are!</i></center>
<br >
Once we were done, we headed back upstairs to our room. We were both still super tired, so we decided to sleep a bit more. Honestly, that was the <i>best</i> decision we could make. I ended up waking up at 12:30 pm and jumping up in shock, but both my mom and I felt so much more awake and clear after that!<br >
We got dressed, grabbed our things and headed out for our day in Harajuku.<br >
<br >

<center><i>Our outfits of the day.</i></center>
<br >
My mom and I went to get money at the bank and then headed for Shinjuku station. It was a lovely, sunny day and quite warm. At Shinjuku station, we put money onto our Suica cards and took the Yamanote line to Harajuku station, a destination my mom and been look forward to visiting again for a long time.<br >

<center><i>On our way to Harajuku! ♥</i></center>
<br >
We arrived in Harajuku at 1:45 pm. We took the exit near Takeshita-dori and took some time to just take pictures of the amazing gate leading to shopping heaven! Ah, we were so happy and excited to be there!<br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKsCNqUefbQWQh-VDRSwKP7cEDtLwEtGlqflyn8kLzIWb2BPHAS_LaE9LhzFrCqMUH9cRuQxgazJs21uoA9xXBgNjjQTsIjoV7ZgmpwteABcqiTQBHaO3-ptjB3u6jDQjX-QuQFykVCUI/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKsCNqUefbQWQh-VDRSwKP7cEDtLwEtGlqflyn8kLzIWb2BPHAS_LaE9LhzFrCqMUH9cRuQxgazJs21uoA9xXBgNjjQTsIjoV7ZgmpwteABcqiTQBHaO3-ptjB3u6jDQjX-QuQFykVCUI/s400/4.jpg" width="300" height="400" data-original-width="768" data-original-height="1024" /></a></div>
<center><i>Excited for a day of shopping in Harajuku!</i></center>
<br >
We entered Takeshita-dori and almost immediately went down the stairs leading to a big basement of purikura machines. Both my mom and I love doing purikura. In fact, we took some almost every day!<br >
It was very crowded in the room, but it didn’t bother us. It was fun hearing all the machines’ sounds and the laughter of girls taking pictures. Almost immediately I spotted a machine I’d never seen before that said ‘Harajuku Puri’. It was clearly aimed at tourists especially, as it was both in Japanese and English and the pictures were all in Harajuku theme. It was basically a Harajuku weeb booth, so <i>naturally</i> we had to do that one! The pictures ended up so cute! ♥<br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqqp44gu36hqowDbCjBNaZ9-Ec5LZ0oUBP5srYx5SRPmSkZt7ZTgY9mMlhkS_LqyKWdadQX6kMYT_5kP_2zM0nXUjEVncD5ivcVYMBbMcZ8AnMsHbrnosTI5MifTKmSms2bSc_nYjH0YY/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqqp44gu36hqowDbCjBNaZ9-Ec5LZ0oUBP5srYx5SRPmSkZt7ZTgY9mMlhkS_LqyKWdadQX6kMYT_5kP_2zM0nXUjEVncD5ivcVYMBbMcZ8AnMsHbrnosTI5MifTKmSms2bSc_nYjH0YY/s400/5.jpg" width="400" height="289" data-original-width="1024" data-original-height="739" /></a></div>
<center><i>The ‘Harajuku Puri’ booth was so much fun!</i></center><br >
We wanted to take more pictures, so my mom picked another booth, which was super pastelly and called ‘Candy Studio’. The pictures turned out super cute and are some of my favourites of this trip!<br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSQ2LL7ABtA4FM9_JdBKEvWqPBAxtffVLY1iAg1Kn8TzFfCa_x0qBt7QYwebtIZMdEnR95wA3-KkFRZBSaXS-XgMIb5M7sRpElEezMKtJ8iCCX-X4pvYKSRc_31HstkXvWgAtDcdW41MA/s1600/6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSQ2LL7ABtA4FM9_JdBKEvWqPBAxtffVLY1iAg1Kn8TzFfCa_x0qBt7QYwebtIZMdEnR95wA3-KkFRZBSaXS-XgMIb5M7sRpElEezMKtJ8iCCX-X4pvYKSRc_31HstkXvWgAtDcdW41MA/s400/6.JPG" width="400" height="267" data-original-width="1024" data-original-height="683" /></a></div>
<center><i>I really love editing purikura pictures!</i></center>
<br >
We left the purikura room and walked into the roofed side street called LePonte. It had changed quite a bit since we were there last, as some of the shops in the back had been replaced by different shops and honestly, with great result for me personally, as now there was a shop called ‘Harajuku Picnic’ <i>filled with gacha machines!</i> I had always wanted to go to a store lines and lines of gacha machines and now there was one right in Harajuku! I was so ridiculously happy! XD<br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP3CV3Bpq_7Vlz2eeXqHSeFi-2pQNduZ46_HMfU6Q4HIG82gp_p68diu33Xpr2eqrs2ftVsuLnTw5fOnuC2-AJu7JDE2K8beZ3ZpWhhUq_oWcG56tIgIwQnEs2llSDsLZyAyznxCAriGA/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP3CV3Bpq_7Vlz2eeXqHSeFi-2pQNduZ46_HMfU6Q4HIG82gp_p68diu33Xpr2eqrs2ftVsuLnTw5fOnuC2-AJu7JDE2K8beZ3ZpWhhUq_oWcG56tIgIwQnEs2llSDsLZyAyznxCAriGA/s400/7.jpg" width="320" height="400" data-original-width="819" data-original-height="1024" /></a></div>
<center><i>Happy, surrounded by gacha machines!</i></center>
<br >
My mom and I walked around and pointed cute machines to each other while a loud ‘Harajuku Picnic’-tune was playing on the speakers over and over. There were machines with squishy animals, glittery accessories and key chains, but also ridiculous ones with bugs and dessert shaped like the statues on Easter Island. It was absolutely <i>amazing!</i> I ended up getting myself a see-through milk carton key chain with glitter and small items floating in it and felt super lucky getting one of the ones I liked most!<br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrp-EDEFr70_Ffh3sAJMPuwAtZJaNhzknV4Ey4ihY41tSWP2nK8xiYKqBgnnHjjybSxeH0L2kT7gi6Oiqd-hhrhxPE_lvCKbg9gBrRTMLmBvE-Nab4_TAt9pDFRnAh-PEEBwPFT_XSwOE/s1600/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrp-EDEFr70_Ffh3sAJMPuwAtZJaNhzknV4Ey4ihY41tSWP2nK8xiYKqBgnnHjjybSxeH0L2kT7gi6Oiqd-hhrhxPE_lvCKbg9gBrRTMLmBvE-Nab4_TAt9pDFRnAh-PEEBwPFT_XSwOE/s400/8.jpg" width="400" height="267" data-original-width="1024" data-original-height="683" /></a></div>
<center><i>Some of the many amazing options in the gacha shop (and me dying over them). XD</i></center>
<br >
The shop next to the gacha one was… unclear what the target audience was exactly. XD They sold the most varying things, from key chains to electric mini fans and plushies, but they also had a ‘slime station’, where you could put tiny items in bulk to put in your slime, but also gachapon prizes, so that you could pick them out yourself instead of trying to get lucky. It was an interesting shop to say the least.<br >
<br >

<center><i>My mom really liked this shiba plushie. ♥</i></center>
<br >
We left LePonte and crossed the street to enter Wego. Sometime ago Wego released this amazing knit vest in pastel rainbow colours and I had seen on Instagram they had re-released it! I went to ask one of the stop staff members about it while my mom looked around, specifically at the bags. The shop girl told me that if they still had it, I would find the vest at their other store called W♥C, so I decided to check it out once we got to that store. Meanwhile my mom had found a bag she really liked, so we took a picture of it so we would remember it and she could think about buying it.<br >

<center><i>The Wego shop at the entrance of Takeshita-dori is hard to miss.</i></center>
<br >
My mom and I walked on and arrived at one of my favourite stores: Paris Kid’s! I have bought so many accessories from them in the past and I wasn’t planning on stopping now! Paris Kid’s, if you’re out there: make me your brand ambassador! ;0;<br >

<center><i>I absolutely love Paris Kid’s’ accessories!</i></center>
<br >
I browsed all the walls diligently and ended up with a lot of really nice earrings and other accessories, mostly pink. Some of them were even on sale! You can check my purchases at the end of this post, in case you’re curious!<br >
My mom got herself a cute Rilakkuma mirror and a keychain that spelled ‘Harajuku’ in katakana.<br >

<center><i>You might have guessed it, but I really love pink. :3</i></center>
<br >
After paying we left the Paris Kid’s again and walked into some stores that caught our attention. One of them was particularly cute, filled with the most varying items, but sadly I can’t find the store’s name. They had clothing, bags, key chains, hats. They had so many things! My mom fell in love with a hedgehog-shaped pouch, which she ended up buying later in the week. I really liked all the tote bags with shiba inu prints on them, but they were a bit expensive so we ended up not buying one (even though they were <i>really</i> cute).<br >

<center><i>This shop really breathed the Harajuku atmosphere to me!</i></center>
<br >
We walked on and arrived at the W♥C store, where they had the knitted vest I wanted on display at the edge of the store, perfectly in view! I was over the moon to find this vest!<br >

<center><i>I couldn’t believe I was holding my dream vest in my hands!</i></center>
<br >
We browsed the W♥C store, which is an amazing place, but although the clothing is amazing, I was mostly eager to try on the vest and see if it fit me ok. We went upstairs to the fitting rooms and also took some pictures of the amazingly colourful store!<br >
<br >

The vest ended up being absolutely perfect! I was so happy… ;o; We brosed a little more and then I went to pay, after which I left the store with my amazing pastel rainbow knit vest!<br >

<br >
While we left the sore, I spotted two Lolitas! Both of them were wearing Milky Berry, one in white and one in mint. ♥<br >
We then arrived at the small shopping centre Studio Alta. Last time, there was a Swimmer store there, which was now replaced by a brightly coloured candy store called ‘Sugar High’. The store was super cute and the shop girls wore American diner-like uniforms. Also, they were super nice!<br >
<br >

It was very loud on the street level floor, but when we went up the escalator and arrived at the Disney store, it was a lot calmer. But, time for my mom to go wild! She loves Disney and the Disney stores, so she showed me many things she liked. ♥<br >

She especially really liked the collaboration series Disney did with Sebastian Masuda, designer of the brand 6% Dokidoki. He had designed a line of very 6% Dokidoki-like prints with Toy Store items and since my mom has met him several times, she really liked the idea of buying one of the items. She especially loved the camera bag, so she kept it in mind for later.<br >

My eye fell on some lovely Disney princess clear files, which I decided to buy<br >
We left the Disney store and Studio Alta again and continued down Takeshita-dori. The next shop we passed was ACDC Rag, which is also a super colourful shop with the most <i>amazing</i> clothing! I saw many cheerful cardigans, hoodies and skirts!<br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha93Ig6dHGXRmcgdi6uNsA69anS0adoqvA_WYyt9HxW6X_qrSeyUCf-jUK80Jt3mfpiTnoTqsn5QO-0xzXBsB-WEV2BoENgVRL3BxTi2CEYa5buID06mA8761cRsVrdzIUFOuduxTUq44/s1600/20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha93Ig6dHGXRmcgdi6uNsA69anS0adoqvA_WYyt9HxW6X_qrSeyUCf-jUK80Jt3mfpiTnoTqsn5QO-0xzXBsB-WEV2BoENgVRL3BxTi2CEYa5buID06mA8761cRsVrdzIUFOuduxTUq44/s400/20.jpg" width="400" height="289" data-original-width="1024" data-original-height="739" /></a></div>
<center><i>Just looking at the ACDC Rag store makes me so happy!</i></center>
<br >
We walked into To Alice for a bit, which had moved from a second story shop to semi-street level. The store was lovely and so were its items! We also frequently stopped inside an amazing cotton candy store, but didn’t stay there long.<br >
As we were getting a bit hungry, I suggested to keep walking (even skipping Closet Child, <i>gasp</i>) and head for our lunch/dinner destination: Café RonRon. This is a café where, instead of sushi-go-round, they have sweets-go-round! I had seen many pictures and videos on Instagram and when I showed them to my mom, she said we definitely had to go there! And so we did. We left Takeshita-dori, walked past Laforet and walked into a part what I think is near Cat Street. I was afraid we’d have trouble finding the café, but my map led us straight there!<br >
<br >

<center><i>I was so excited to go to café RonRon!</i></center>
<br >
The rules of the café were really simple: you buy a ticket, pick a special drink in a Café RonRon bottle and can eat all you want and have extra water, tea or coffee for 40 minutes, provided you don’t take tons of plates all at once. To buy a ticket, we had to insert money into a machine (the café staff helped us, which was really kind). I thought it was really interesting that men and women paid separate fees: 2100 yen for women, 2400 yen for men!<br >
My mom and I both picked the same appealing dark pink drink and were seated about halfway down the ‘carousel’. The café wasn’t very big, but had a spacious and modern feel to it, which was lovely. ♥ The small strip of table in between the carousel was decorated with Halloween items. Both my mom and I were very excited!<br >
<br >

<center><i>Matching the décor like it was meant to be. :3</i></center>
<br >
At first we just looked at all the snacks that passed us by, which was a lot of fun in itself! Most of the food was sweet, like cupcakes, macarons, brownies and mini crêpes, but there were also some savoury items, like potato salad that looked like ice cream and little trays of plain potato chips, which I really appreciated.<br >
<br >

<center><i>All sorts of snacks passed us by.</i></center>
<br >
I was <i>really</i> impressed by how much some of the guests could eat! One couple left leaving two absolutely <i>huge</i> stacks of plates behind! No judging at all, just very impressed. ^^<br >
Before my mom and I started eating, we took some pictures. And we were definitely not the only ones. There was a group of cute girls giggling and taking pictures together, which was super cute.<br >
<br >

<center><i>A selfie I posted on my Instagram which I still really like.</i></center>
<br >
And then we started! We just tried all sorts of things, recommending our favourite foods to each other. All the food was really delicious! I didn’t like maybe one or two things, but the rest was so good! ♥ My favourites were the sanshoku dango, a pink macaron with a black cat tail accompanied by red fruits and a bowl of yellow, chewy balls which might have been some kind of mochi.<br >
Sometimes, when you really liked a specific kind of food and you wanted to have it again, you had to wait a while for it to come by again, but honestly that was also part of the fun!<br >

We thanked the staff again and left. By now it was getting dark outside and we headed back in the direction of Takeshita-dori. We decided to visit Laforet first. The building was decorated with a poster of a… uhm… monkey-kangaroo-dragon? It sure looked interesting. XD<Br >

<center><i>Laforet in the twilight.</i></center>
<br >
I believe we first went to the toilet and then to Maison de Fleur, which is a new love of mine. Their bags are just so beautiful! The store was really cute too, but I didn’t see anything that particularly interested me, so I hoped we’d be able to visit one of their other stores later during the week.<br >
We passed some really nice stores, among which one called Hei Hei. I didn’t know this brand at all back then and now I see all sorts of street snaps with girls wearing this brand! I saw a lot of stores with awesome clothes and styles again, I felt surrounded by magic!<br >
We went on to the basement, where we visited Angelic Pretty. The store was pink and lavender as ever! ♥<br >
<br >

<center><i>Strolling through Laforet.</i></center>
<br >
Although I ended up not buying anything, my mom bought a set of beautiful earrings at the shop across from Angelic Pretty, which was very nice. We looked around for a bit and then left Laforet again. We walked back to Takeshita-dori, which was now full of lights and colourful neon. It was so pretty!<br >
We went into the Etude House, where I was once again more enchanted by the packagings rather than the products itself. Neither of us bought something, but just browsing there was very nice.<br >
<br >

<center><i>My mom in Harajuku by night.</i></center>
<br >
We walked up the stairs and entered the small Sanrio store. As usual everything was way too cute, but I behaved and ended up buying a Harajuku exclusive clear file only.<br >
We then went up another set of stairs and entered the Spinns, where my mom browsed mostly and I just followed her around.<br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRLwWYCl8tDpHVpPkN4Y8-oJYyAhYfPA1PMKMW4zexRNdiktOhLhHM8Ol_hPTF3toXloatWqpok3fKEhLtnwtUT45AYbuekQEDpJeYhy2xAdxORYwRXFChpjjYU07h8athR_wHpu54F5g/s1600/30.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRLwWYCl8tDpHVpPkN4Y8-oJYyAhYfPA1PMKMW4zexRNdiktOhLhHM8Ol_hPTF3toXloatWqpok3fKEhLtnwtUT45AYbuekQEDpJeYhy2xAdxORYwRXFChpjjYU07h8athR_wHpu54F5g/s400/30.JPG" width="400" height="267" data-original-width="1024" data-original-height="683" /></a></div>
<center><i>The Spinns store is so colourful and exciting!</i></center>
<br >
Next, we visited Closet Child at last! Not visiting it first during the day felt a bit weird almost, but it didn’t make it any less fun to browse. Although they had many nice dresses, none of them really drew my attention. Well, maybe the ivory version of Angelic Pretty’s Cinema Doll.<br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoDlA5BkyQlf224WVOK_Ntn9i9M5RlzK3x7WFCLHnNXBo_7zVjELs53IJVtQpw8QPY7QuR7jeGVN7KXf15n92BOA31fOPw4Cejd6_ZonwQbaIpI-zPhXXuUWh6cSeO8l_yRdhZ5p_5n_k/s1600/31.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoDlA5BkyQlf224WVOK_Ntn9i9M5RlzK3x7WFCLHnNXBo_7zVjELs53IJVtQpw8QPY7QuR7jeGVN7KXf15n92BOA31fOPw4Cejd6_ZonwQbaIpI-zPhXXuUWh6cSeO8l_yRdhZ5p_5n_k/s400/31.JPG" width="400" height="267" data-original-width="1024" data-original-height="683" /></a></div>
<center><i>Browsing through the Angelic Pretty dresses in Closet Child.</i></center>
<br >
Unfortunately, during this trip I didn’t feel comfortable enough in my skin to try, and so buy, any dresses, which means that in terms of a Lolita haul you’ll be disappointed. I did end up buying a lovely ivory Angelic Pretty hat!< br >
We made our way down Takeshita-dori, walking into shops that interested us, like Bodyline, or just window shopping. We were getting quite tired by now, so we tried to prioritize a bit. We ended up back at Wego, as my mom had decided to buy the bag she had seen earlier that day. She immediately started using it the next day and kept saying how convenient it was and how happy it made her, so I am happy she bought it!<br >
<br >

<center><i>Mom posing with the bag she had just bought.</i></center>
<br >
We went back into the LePonte area, where I went back to the gacha machine heaven shop and got a cute little hat for my dog. I ended up getting a white and blue panda one! I tried it on her at home and she didn’t really appreciate it, so I didn’t leave it on her for too long, but needless to say she looked utterly <i>adorable</i>!<br >
<br >

<center><i>You can see the panda hat I got on the cat on the right on the machine!</i></center>
<br >
We briefly browsed around in the LePonte area, but then it was really time to go home, as we needed to take a bit of care of ourselves. Although we hadn’t been there for a full day as we normally would, we had still gotten quite tired from all the impressions of course.<br >
We said goodbye to Takeshita-dori and took a few more pictures in front of the entrance.<br><br>

<center><i>Bye bye, Takeshita-dori~!</i></center>
<br >
We took the metro back to Shinjuku and headed back to our hotel. There we changed into pyjamas, chilled and Instagrammed for a while and I took pictures of our purchases. It had been a tiring, but amazing day and there were more to come!<br >

The plane drove to the gate and people started to gather their things. As always, my mom and I took their time and as I wanted to check our chairs' surrounding really well, we were pretty much the last people to leave the plane. But finally, we set foot in Japan!<br >
<br >

<center><i>First selfie on Japanese grounds!</i></center>
<br >
My mom and I started in the direction of customs. The hallways of the airport were very quiet: everyone had probably already raced on. XD But then they still have to wait in line, so what’s the difference? We took our time, which gave us the time to take good pictures of the various welcome signs we passed, including one giant and bright red Mario and Luigi one!<br >

<center><i>Mario and Luigi welcoming us into Japan.</i></center>
<br >
We entered customs and stood in line for quite a while. It’s always pretty warm there and I was already feeling hot from the plane and the excitement, so I wasn’t too thrilled about that. Luckily it didn’t take super long and soon my mom and I found ourselves in the luggage hall. We headed for the belt where our suitcases would (hopefully) appear, which they not long after did. I am always very relieved to see our suitcases again.<br >
<br >

<center><i>Reunited with our suitcases.</i></center>
<br >
We went through one final check and then entered Narita airport. As last time we were there we had found a very convenient, quiet ATM, we headed there again and got ourselves some money. Then we headed for the Airport Limousine desk. During our previous trips, we didn’t know it was possible to take this bus to Shinjuku actually (don’t ask me why), but now we did! So we got ourselves two tickets and went outside to wait for the bus, which arrived not long after. We handed over our suitcases and entered the bus. Sadly it was already pretty full, so my mom and I had to sit separated, but it was fine.<br >
<br >

<center><i>Ready to head for Tokyo!</i></center>
<br >
Soon the bus started driving and we enjoyed the ride. I don’t know what it is, but I just love buses. I find them so relaxing!<br >
At some point, a mother with a small child suddenly pulled a child’s seat from under one of the bus’s seats, out of nowhere it seemed! It made it easier for the mother to relax while the child had its own seat. It was brilliant!<br >
The ride took about one and a half hours and then we arrived in Shinjuku! We got of the bus, took our suitcases back and headed for our favourite hotel. ♥<br >
It wasn’t check in time at all yet, but we could leave our suitcases in the lobby until then. My mom and I rested for a few minutes and then went out into Shinjuku.<br >
When we passed some vending machines, we decided to get some drinks as it was quite warm. To my great joy I spotted my favourite drink: Milk Tea by Kirin! I had longed for that drink <i>so much!</i> Naturally I chose that one and my mom went for something lemon-y.<br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj74z352SOR4MiLS6xMl9GEKqqx55g86yJFGhnmFe_L3GvwRUKHyv0tcRgVkZUyjfqn8BYbTHJXNiWjbB_ADOtg6nGy7vxj2GBjJ5LGe0bVFhBtOfsZ72IcYELaDpC10rhXLwEVIXqW9KE/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj74z352SOR4MiLS6xMl9GEKqqx55g86yJFGhnmFe_L3GvwRUKHyv0tcRgVkZUyjfqn8BYbTHJXNiWjbB_ADOtg6nGy7vxj2GBjJ5LGe0bVFhBtOfsZ72IcYELaDpC10rhXLwEVIXqW9KE/s400/5.jpg" width="300" height="400" data-original-width="768" data-original-height="1024" /></a></div>
<center><i>I was so happy I could have Milk Tea again!</i></center>
<br >
We then walked into the direction of MyLord, the big shopping centre nearby. The weather was lovely, albeit it very warm, and the sounds and smells so nostalgic, I was so happy to be back!<br >
We walked up the stairs leading to the bridge that leads to MyLord, when suddenly I spotted a new café which name made me laugh throughout our whole trip: Boul’ange Eggslut. I don’t know, it just sounded so freaking funny to me! I thought it was one of those Japanglish things, but it turns out Eggslut is an actual American chain!? So in hindsight, it was probably two cafés, one of them being an international chain.<br >
Still, it makes me laugh until this day. XD<br >

<center><i>Peak humor, in my opinion. XD</i></center>
<br >
We then went on to MyLord. From the bridge over the road you have a really nice view over the oncoming traffic, both during the day and at night. It’s a place that holds dear memories of mine. ♥<br >

<center><i>Shopping centre MyLord and the views from the bridge.</i></center>
<br >
As we know MyLord fairly well by now, we walked into an arts and crafts shop we really like, which has everything you can imagine for making jewelry. My mom loves looking at all the beads there, I looked at the resin products (which I didn’t buy).<br >
We then just took the escalators up and walked into stores we liked, some brand names which we knew, like Axes Femme, others we didn’t. I took a picture of the Ank Rouge clothing display near the escalators, as I love their clothes so much! Their clothing was very cute again this season…<br >
<br >

<center><i>Ank Rouge outfits on display.</i></center>
<br >
When we finally got tired, we left MyLord and got us some bread rolls at bakery Hokuo. My mom got a croissant-resembling pastry while I treated myself to some long-awaited Melon pan. ♥<br >
We took our snacks to the hotel, where it was time to check in, and took everything with us upstairs to our room. For the first time our room was located at the other side of the hotel, so not facing the Shinjuku sky scrapers. We had a bit of a small room this time, but we chose that deliberately and we didn’t mind at all. ^^ However, apparently neither my mom nor I has taken any pictures of our room whatsoever though, sorry. We had our snacks, set an alarm clock and had some long-awaited sleep.<br >
After a few hours the alarm clock went off and we headed out to have something to eat. Shinjuku by night is one of my favourite things in the world, so I was quite happy. ^^<br >
We decided to have dinner at our favourite restaurant in MyLord: Obon de Gohan. My dad and I had our first ever meal in Japan there and we have been coming back to it ever since! It was a busy night, as we had to wait to write our name on the waiting list. I wrote our surname in katakana, which was fun, and soon we were called and were seated. We put our bags in the convenient bag basket next to the table and had a look at the menu, although we knew from experience what we wanted to order anyway: the fried chicken set!<br >
<br >

<center><i>Dinner at Obon de Gohan.</i></center>
<br >
As expected, the food was delicious! Ah, it was so good… I’m getting hungry now. ;0;<br >
On our way back to the hotel, we walked into a conbini and got some desserts. We had made it our goal to try more conbini food and there were both a FamilyMart and a 7/11 near our hotel, so that was nice. This time, I chose a matcha dessert while my mom went with a flan-like pudding. They were so good!<br >

Hi everyone, today I am starting my Tokyo 2019 series! I had an amazing time and am excited to tell you all about it! I went to Japan with my mom from September 29th until October 8th. Originally, I was supposed to be studying in Japan for three months starting April 2020, so going on this trip felt a bit excessive. However, due to some problems on our previous trip and just really wanting to go with just the two of us again, I was lucky enough to fly to Japan once again with my mom before I went on my own. However, thanks to the current crisis, my study abroad was cancelled (let’s not talk about how many tears that cost me), so I’m extra grateful I got to go on this trip before everything turned around! Alright, without further ado, let’s start~!<br >
<br >
On Sunday September 29th the day had finally come. I had been working very hard during the weeks prior in order not to get behind on school while also packing, but now I could leave all those things behind me, as we would embark on our trip to Japan!<br >
My dad would initially drive us to Schiphol, the airport, but since traffic was pretty jammed, he drove us to the nearest station to the airport and we took the train from there. Once there, we checked in our suitcases, went through security and pretty soon found ourselves within the airport!<br >
<br >

<center><i>Mother and daughter, ready for a new adventure!</i></center>
<br >
We walked around for a bit, browsing the stores and doing some people watching. I really love Schiphol airport, I could easily spend hours there. As always my mom liked sniffing some nice perfumes, while I insisted on taking a picture with Miffy.<br >
<br >

<center><i>Miffy and me. ♥</i></center>
<br >
We decided to have some snacks and ended up getting drinks, pastries and a bag of potato chips at one of the nice cafés. I was feeling quite hot, so I ended up sticking my Cola down my shirt to cool off. XD The pastries were very nice and the potato chips delicious, so that was very nice. ^^<br >
<br >

<center><i>Our lunch at the airport.</i></center>
<br >
We browsed some more stores, particularly the touristy ones. I love looking at souvenirs from my own country. I was especially enamoured with a shop that sold all things tulips. They had one side panel in the wall completely covered in magnets of clogs with tiny tulips. It looked just so cute! ♥ <br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCimTeZxD-zAhzCaflWzBFLfspHpGam8XHjfFBgyFVnArhiLR3yZ0AmFiRtdtU_aN4K8dPk-3FLyuIwO5X_7G0G5rPMus71zWyKA2HJUv35IOh1jPJpcDWmfgl_r9UlfjG4Ew2NQq5H_Q/s1600/4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCimTeZxD-zAhzCaflWzBFLfspHpGam8XHjfFBgyFVnArhiLR3yZ0AmFiRtdtU_aN4K8dPk-3FLyuIwO5X_7G0G5rPMus71zWyKA2HJUv35IOh1jPJpcDWmfgl_r9UlfjG4Ew2NQq5H_Q/s400/4.JPG" width="267" height="400" data-original-width="683" data-original-height="1024" /></a></div>
<center><i>These magnets looked so cute in bulk!</i></center>
<br >
My mom and I decided to head for our gate, but while walking in that direction, we came across the Rijksmuseum Schiphol, a small exhibition by the famous Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where real art pieces from the 17th century were displayed! Of course we wanted to have a look, so we walked in. I was especially impressed by Abraham Mignon’s ‘The Overturned Bouquet’, which depicts a beautiful flower vase accompanied by a very ugly cat. I loved the cat especially, it looked so funny and cute. XD<br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhveq6DiL5irKSML3X93QhSqS30txt41Xja5IH2EMhXwOSBSnzUUKdY888weT09xO-wiPxeQ5WnRb9RoZfpi0eOevcvhiv3qbVW7PJWBjCHXQKv0-8IbhuZ4hH60q2eYePWkn57AMtOfy4/s1600/5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhveq6DiL5irKSML3X93QhSqS30txt41Xja5IH2EMhXwOSBSnzUUKdY888weT09xO-wiPxeQ5WnRb9RoZfpi0eOevcvhiv3qbVW7PJWBjCHXQKv0-8IbhuZ4hH60q2eYePWkn57AMtOfy4/s400/5.JPG" width="289" height="400" data-original-width="740" data-original-height="1024" /></a></div>
<center><i>That cat seems to be having some issues, right?</i></center>
<br >
While I was admiring the art, my mom was admiring… the gift shop. XD In her defence, they had some really nice art-themed items. She especially liked a statue of an elephant decorated in Delft blue.<br >
Finally, we headed for our gate, passing another Miffy, but once we arrived there, it was really quiet. We sat down and waited for a bit, but there was almost no one. When I checked my app, it turned out our gate has changed! So we headed for the right one, where a lot more people were waiting and there was a plane already visible.<br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie4YKgzVBBJnhP9CbVlDuIV8sPvN2myBmu5wkrFJurfpVqXqPNSp2-i7zQ4WtaFpBLdf_01E4BbA-BaOibmzmef9VGSvaw00JwvkbxYuPfllbo2F0wopfuyESPprf8bHFf0WczjCrjWcQ/s1600/6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie4YKgzVBBJnhP9CbVlDuIV8sPvN2myBmu5wkrFJurfpVqXqPNSp2-i7zQ4WtaFpBLdf_01E4BbA-BaOibmzmef9VGSvaw00JwvkbxYuPfllbo2F0wopfuyESPprf8bHFf0WczjCrjWcQ/s400/6.JPG" width="267" height="400" data-original-width="683" data-original-height="1024" /></a></div>
<center><i>Mom posing in front of our plane.</i></center>
<br >
We waited around for a bit until not long after it was already time to board! We had our passports checked and entered the long hallway towards the plane. This was the moment to leave my mom alone for a bit. She is actually really afraid of flying, but keeps doing it anyway! How brave is that? I am always impressed.<br >
We entered the plane and walked to our seats, somewhere in the back of the middle. I sat down at the window and my mom in the middle, soon joined by a very nice Dutch lady. I texted my dad and friends and then turned off my phone.<br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Rl4Kqebf7yVDFaiPiNObjBVc85MU3SEMbkh_KGeY751dopEjtdT5hLq_IQeUmC4p3VqXWDAGWDXkuxztbQXnnXZ8S2UCkiPd9VM66ne5zSPhgRGPlblNO8C27jJUjj-JTj7epyr1i3M/s1600/7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Rl4Kqebf7yVDFaiPiNObjBVc85MU3SEMbkh_KGeY751dopEjtdT5hLq_IQeUmC4p3VqXWDAGWDXkuxztbQXnnXZ8S2UCkiPd9VM66ne5zSPhgRGPlblNO8C27jJUjj-JTj7epyr1i3M/s400/7.JPG" width="267" height="400" data-original-width="683" data-original-height="1024" /></a></div>
<center><i>A rainy Netherlands behind the window.</i></center>
<br >
Before we knew it, the plane started moving! We drove to the take off strip and I looked out the window while holding my mom’s hand. Soon the plane started speeding and we took off! My mom hates this moment, but I love it! ♥<br >
My mom soon recovered and we settled in for the 11-hour long flight. The flight was uneventful. The food was lovely as always, I watched some series and watched the Japanese movie ‘Masquerade Hotel’, which I had wanted to see for a while and which was really good and exciting!<br >
<br >
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-GCsSzQ4tARoB2wN2E4AoNHdwfIHB6IPp42ETj3eD8RSwW7v6DtK67lZRmB_sclMWFux5F1m5qmX6GvnpguSJcJUMWomw8HJts3IbOIq42vCb6l6Jc50fhmgt8EeTNvlnSYpeiamczw/s1600/8.0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-GCsSzQ4tARoB2wN2E4AoNHdwfIHB6IPp42ETj3eD8RSwW7v6DtK67lZRmB_sclMWFux5F1m5qmX6GvnpguSJcJUMWomw8HJts3IbOIq42vCb6l6Jc50fhmgt8EeTNvlnSYpeiamczw/s400/8.0.jpg" width="400" height="289" data-original-width="1024" data-original-height="739" /></a></div>
<center><i>Food and views on the plane.</i></center>
<br >
I also tried to sleep. Sadly I rarely sleep on planes, plus for some reason I was really hot like, all the time. For some reason our part of the plane was quite warm. I felt quite icky at the end of the flight, oh well.<br >
Finally, after about 11 hours, we were almost there! The windows were opened and the morning sun shone into the plane. Soon after, Japan’s coastline came into view!<br >
<br >

<center><i>Almost there!</i></center>
<br >
Not long after, the wheels of our plane touched the ground. We had arrived in Japan!<br >
<br >
Even though our flight, arrival and first day in Japan felt as one long day because of time zones, I count the flight and arrival as day 1. ^^<br >

For those of you who pay real close attention to the things I write, you know I went to Tokyo, Japan back in 2017, but after mentioning it in <a href="http://roselolitawonderland.blogspot.com/2017/12/my-birthday-in-japan.html">this post</a>, I never wrote anything about it. It's not exactly a rarity for me to be late on travel posts (I just finished my Paris 2018 series, ahem), but even for me, this is quite late. So what happened? Why did I never write anything about it?<br >
<br >
The simple answer is: I got sick there.<br >
<br >
I don't really want to go into too much detail, first of all because I am not obliged to tell you of course, but also because thinking back on those days, even now, three years later, is hard and scary and can send me into a spiral of anxiety. All I can say is that I went to Japan very shortly after my final exam and that all the release of stress was probably too much for me. Among other things, I ended up not being able to sleep for several nights and it was a very scary and traumatizing experience, causing me to eventually go see a doctor in Tokyo. Luckily, he was able to help me in the end, which I am grateful for until this day.<br >
Even though it was still a very nice trip, I still haven't been able to write about it much and I'm not sure I ever will. If I do, the only way I will ever post about it here on my blog is when I have finished all blogposts of every single travel day, as to not pressure myself into forcibly continuing to write. I guess that's what we may call self care.<br >
<br >
So there you have it, an explanation nobody asked for, but one I still wanted to give. ♥<br >

<b>♥ Fuwa fuwa rainbow ♥</b><br >
<br >
Today’s flatlay coord was posted on July 14, 2020 with the following caption:<br >
<br >
<i>Fuwa fuwa rainbow. 🌈
I recently bought this adorable pastel rainbow bag and I really wanted to combine it with my pastel rainbow knitted vest. I ended up making the softest, fluffiest coord I could come up with and I absolutely adore it! 💕</i><br >
<br >
I can’t tell you how <i>excited</i> I am over this outfit! I’ve wanted to create a pastel rainbow coord for ages, so when I found this rainbow bag while shopping and thought of my rainbow knitted vest back home in my closet, I knew they were destined to be combined! As the vest is really soft and cosy, I wanted to make a soft, fluffy (or ‘fuwa fuwa’) outfit out of it. My Millefeuille JSK by Baby, the Stars Shine Bright is not only very versatile, but it is probably the comfiest dress in my closet. Maybe combining a fairly frilly, lacy dress with a vest like this wouldn’t be anyone’s first idea, but somehow they work really well together I think! I then chose a fluffy, pink beret and combined it with a bunch of bow hair clips, which resulted in the cutest beret ever! ;0; Then I added fluffy earrings, three pastel-coloured bracelets and a cute necklace. I went with white socks to bring out the white lace of the dress and added some cute shoes to top everything off!<br >
It seems people really liked this outfit, as it has over 600 likes on Instagram! I’ve never had that. I’m glad people love this outfit as much as I do, because I adore it! ♥<br >

It is often said that Lolita brand Angelic Pretty’s best years were from about 2010 until the end of 2013. I’ve seen this statement about their so called ‘Golden Age’ pass me by quite a lot and when I was thinking of a small series to blog about, I decided to go back in time for a bit. Thanks to <a href="https://fuwa-fuwa-fashion.blogspot.com/2017/03/angelic-pretty-2010-2017-print-release.html">this fantastic overview</a> by Fuwa-Fuwa-Fashion I was transported back to my starting years as a Lolita. I wore my first outfit at the end of 2011, but had been an aspiring Lolita for about three years by then already. I followed the trends and new releases faithfully and it brought back lots of memories, so I decided to do a personal rating of Angelic Pretty print releases from 2010 and up.<br >
Keep in mind: <i>these are only my personal opinions!</i> Feel free to share yours in the comments! I’d love to discuss. Also, a heads up: the layout of this blogpost works better on pc than on mobile phone, so apologies if it looks a little... wonky.<br >

Powder Rose came out really early in 2010 and is a typical example of a print I really love: flowers floating down from the top and coming together as the print at the bottom. The flowers are really beautifully drawn and have a simple colour scheme of light pink, dark pink and yellow, combined with green leaves. Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the print, the cuts are a little weird. Both the OP and the Frill JSK have strange, frilled panels on the chest, which makes the dresses lose some of their beauty. The Chest Ribbon JSK has, as the name suggests, a big bow on the chest, which isn’t a much better alternative. I own this dress in black, which strangely enough is the least beautiful version in my opinion, but I still love it and the frills on the chest are least visible on the black version. Overall I like this print, but the cuts could have been better.<br >

What can I say about Jewelry Jelly? Honestly, it is <i>perfection</i>. I love this dress to death. The print is pastelly, cute and soft and even glitters! Long lines of whipped cream and candies flow down the dress and end up raining into the broad, jelly print. Pictures don’t do this dress the justice it deserves: it’s amazing! I’ll admit the black version looks a little strange, with the broad, bright print against the black fabric, but I’ll be lenient since this print is e-ve-ry-thing. Both the JSK and OP have a frilly neckline with horizontal bows and crossed straps, where the Switching JSK has a border with bows going down vertically. This dress is still one of my absolute favourites in my closet.<br >

For the longest time I absolutely loved Happy Garden and it was quite high on my wishlist, but over the years I’ve come to love this dress less and less. Don’t get me wrong: it has bunnies and chicks and both are very cute, but the print is a bit bland and not very special. The cuts of the dresses are also not very exciting, although I bet they’d work great for toned down outfits. Overall I think this print is a mere ‘okay’.<br >

Wonder Cookie really has that OTT Alice in Wonderland vibe that many Lolitas are looking for and I too have fallen <i>hard</i> for this print. All three dress cuts could be worn by waitresses at a cute diner and honestly I am living for that aesthetic. The print consists of falling cookies at the top of the skirt and a border print of tea pots and (card) cookies. Not only that, but none of the dresses are one set colour, but are made up of stripes of several colours. This is especially visible in the white version, where the green, sax blue and pink stripes combined with the colourful print create an almost pastel rainbow-esque dress. The unique combinations of colours and print of these dresses are what draw me the most to it, but also cause me not to be able to give it a solid 10, as the print can also be a bit too busy at times. <br >

I love Milky Berry. There is absolutely no denying that I do. Give me a bright red fruit print combined with sweets and parfaits and I’m sold. Especially the mint and pink version of this print are stunning and just make me happy when I look at them. <i>However</i>, even though I’ve seen it worn and actually quite loved it, I think the white version is bordering on hideous. I just don’t like white x red very much, as opposed to red x white (yes, there is a difference). Also the JSK cut is just downright saggy, yeesh. The Halter Neck JSK though, which I own, is darling. Overall I love this print and its cuts both for about 75%, bu then I do love them <i>a lot.</i><br >

That print really caused some intergalactic wars now didn’t it. I get it though. When talking about the Golden Age of Angelic Pretty, Milky Planet is definitely up there. The print is pastelly and cute and features ice creams, carousels, cupcakes and even rainbows, so what’s not to love? Both cuts also come with an adorable scallop border and JSK even with a scalloped neckline. The reason I mention the special set here and not with other prints is that back in the day, I especially loved the lavender version of Milky Planet, which was only the special set. Honestly, there’s not much <i>not</i> to love about Milky Planet, hence why it’s still on my wishlist after all these years.<br >

If I could somehow get my hands on every single colour of Fantasic Dolly, I would go for it without a question. Fantasic Dolly is just <i>amazing</i>. It has dots, it has bows, it has Eiffeltowers, it has make up and bottles and it’s got that retro vibe. It also has a colour you don’t see that often which is off white (or ‘pastel yellow’ as I like to call it), which I very much appreciate. I seriously have no complaints about this dress whatsoever and I think every Lolita deserves this dress in her closet.<br >

Yes, Angelic Pretty has released at least five hundred chocolate prints and yes, they all feature the word ‘melty’, but this is the OG of them all! At least, I think so. Well, for me it is. I had to blink twice as I was convinced this print was released in like 2005 or something, it really was released in 2010 and honestly, I love it. Well, the JSK cut. And well, just the mint and pink colourways. The other ones are not my cup of melty chocolate. I used to long for this dress like crazy, but over the years it has become less of a must-have for me. Although, if someone handed me that pink version, I definitely wouldn’t say no.<br >

I was so ready to type up a raving review of this print and then I opened the pictures and thought: ‘Oh.’ First of all, the cut of the JSK is downright ‘no boobs allowed’ and the all-over ribbons and bows print is much busier than I remember. The cuts of the OP and Ribbon Tiered JSK are cute, but somehow not as appealing as I remembered. This print had a second release with different colours, but those don’t appeal to me either. Oh well, that’s growth I guess?<br >

Now I know many Lolitas are raving about this dress, but… it never really appealed to me. The print looks like you’ve run into a cupboard with shelves where bears are eating all sorts of donuts and somehow that’s just not really for me. I do appreciate the quirky green colourway, that’s a cool one. However, other than that, this print doesn’t do it for me.<br >

Nevertheless, this print is a welcome change from the everlasting tea is effin’ awesome. That being said, this print is just… very busy. Somehow it doesn’t really work for me. I love the use of quirky colours like yellow and navy, but sadly, they can’t save this print for me.<br >

Although Candy Treat may not be the most exciting candy print Angelic Pretty has ever released, it has a special place in my heart. The print is very cutesy Halloween, with falling candy and bright colours. The cuts aren’t very special and neither are the colourways, although you gotta admit that the white version with its red border is… rather bloodlike.<br >

The only way this dress could scream more ‘Christmas’ is if it had Christmas trees or ornaments. Because what it more Christmas-y than… a giant castle cake? No, I’m kidding. The print is very Nutcracker-themed and I really appreciate the unexpected colour choices, which are very winterlike. That being said, I don’t like it that much. It’s overly busy and I’m not that into the Nutcracker aesthetic. I do love the military style bodice of the Switch JSK though.<br >

Well would you look at that! The missing ornaments from the previous dress. If you’re more into the non-Nutcracker side of Christmas and more into… well… ornaments, this certainly is the dress for you. I really like this dress and its simplicity, combined with some polka dotted details. However, as it’s made from velvet, I bet it’s super-hot, which is a bit of a downside for me. I do think the print sparkles though? Which again is a plus.

I’m not easily swayed by card prints and this one is no exception. It’s a dress. With cards. And ponies. Alright. Also, the name feels a bit unfortunate, but if you realise ‘toranpu’ is just ‘playing cards’ in Japanese, perhaps it feels less awkward. But still. Anyway, this print is nice in red, but the rest doesn’t really appeal much to me and the cuts aren’t interesting either. Next!<br >

The chosen colourways also suit the print really well. The OP has a lovely, preppy girl cut and both JSK cuts are lovely as well. However, although I love cats, where are my dog prints AP!?<br >

<b>♥ Berries ‘n cherries ♥</b><br >
<br >
Today’s flatlay coord was posted on May 16, 2020 with the following caption:<br >
<br >
<i>Berries 'n cherries. 🍓✨🍒<br >
This coord is based around this red blouse I bought on sale a while ago. I've been wanting to use it for ages and it suits my Milky Berry jsk perfectly! ❤️ I also got to use these adorable red and white polkadots chou-chous, which can be used as hairties, bracelets or, in this case, sock toppers! 😊</i><br >
<br >
Milky Berry is one of my favourite dresses I own. It has a very vibrant mint colour and a striking red and pink print, which looks gorgeous together. I’ve wanted to bring out the red in this dress through a red blouse for a long time and now I finally did in this coord. I used red shoes, red chou-chous and red fruits accessories to focus even more on that colour. Through a simple straw hat and cute, simple socks, I tried to give this outfit a bit of a country style. It came out even more cute than I thought! Whether I would really dare to actually wear this remains a question, as red blouses can bleed, which is a bit of a scary thought.<br >

<br >
Last night, as the clock on my computer struck midnight and I noticed the date, I realised ten years have passed since, which means today... it's Lolita Wonderland's 10th anniversary! My blog is ten years old! That's a full DECADE!<br >
Happy anniversary to Lolita Wonderland! <br >
<br >
I’ve shared some beautiful looking cakes, cupcakes and pastries for every anniversary. For this year I chose a rainbow theme, because rainbows are awesome and also<br >
Gay Rights!<br >
<br >
I can't believe it's been ten years since I started this blog. I remember struggling with what name to pick, doubting between two, although deep down knowing it was going to be Lolita Wonderland after all. My blog has had its ups and downs. Especially the first five years I was going strong, with 2013 being my best year with a staggering 50 posts. That's nearly one post a week! But there's also been downs, with 2019's blog post count at a sad 5 posts. With this post I am already at that number for 2020 and I have more posts lined up, so at least this year is not going to be <i>that</i> sad in terms of blogging.<br >
<br >
If you're reading this, I want to thank you for reading and supporting me and my blog. Please don't hesitate to leave a comment ever! They really brighten up my day. I blog for myself, but comments are always nice!<br >
