Hello there~

Hello~ I am Alice and this is my first, yes, my very first, lolita blog!!!! And, as the name implies, I am on the younger side of it all. My closset is very small, however I hope to expand it in the next year! That is me wearing my newest addition, Bodyline Alice JSK. I am wearing that exact coordinate to PCC this year on Saturday, so if you see me feel free to say hello!


Today I want to talk about some of of the new stuff that has been coming out in lolita, just Angelic Pretty today, but over the next few days I hope to look at all the new additions to all the popular lolita brands. The most recent addition to AP(according to the dates on the website, correct me if I am wrong) is:

Which I think looks super cute. I love the bonnet for this series and the halter JSK, but I have always been a sucker for halter JSK's, haha, like AP's Melody Doll halter JSK...omg, they just wanted to kill me didnt they?!
Another AP print that has recently come out is:

I think this OP is to die for~ This all looks super cute~ And I would love to see some accesories and a purse come out for it. Other than that little pouch, a REAL purse <3 I really am curious on what this prints name is...but...the print is cute so I suppose that is all that matters~

Now, onto the funny habbits a lolita can have and will have. If you dont do any of this you are seriously not that into lolita. Not stalking websites enough, not wanting enough, not familiar enough, however if you are new I dont blame you :)
Hear are my personal top 5:

1- you see etc and immidiately think of Emily Temple Cute
2-You have detatchable bows to attach to your everyday shoes(or maybe thats just me...)
3- You know the meaning of : The AP OP from the LP
4-if you can translate : I wanna wear my APOP with my SSTPS but my BTTSB OTKS are at my boyfriends house
5- you get a pair of jeans for $40 and think you are getting ripped off then proceed to get a dress for $275 and think its a bargain


Feel free to tell me all of your favorites!!!

So if you are new to lolita I would now like to share with you the steps to get a closset started. Deffinately not the steps I took, but the steps.

1. Start by finding a peice of lolita that you really love and would like to wear. Find it or something similar on Taobao, Bodyline, or secondhand. I do NOT suggest jumping straight into brand.
2. Decide on your budget for the rest of your accesories. I would suggest either $100-$200 because lolita can get expensive and make sure you stick to it!
3. Start by getting things that would go well with the peice you originally liked. I reccomend starting with a petticoat, and then blouse(if necessary), socks/shoes, accesories, wigs etc. Again, dont go straight into brand. You just need the basics at this point.
4. Now that you have enough for at least one coordinate you can think of other peices that might go well with what you already have. It make coordinating outfits easier, especially if you are a begginer. I personally own a lot of pink and black at this point. I am starting to get into Gothic now which will be a new subfashion of lolita in my closset :)
5. If you have any questions you can always ask me, your local lolita communtity, or EGL( http://egl.livejournal.com/ ) Everyone there is always eager to help newer lolitas!
6. Eventually you can get newer styles and as you become more comfortable with the style it is time to get some brand. Always look into the brand you are buying from before you make your first brand purchase!!

I hope this was help for some of you younger lolitas~
Until next time,
Bye Bye <3
