Tamara and I had a lolita event to get to, but before we went we got some quick photos of us mucking around. Its summer at the moment so the weather is rather hot, it makes wearing full lolita a little uncomfortable at times. My favourites dresses to wear in summer are the full chiffon ones, easy to wear and wash Continue reading…

After some stop, start talking and planning Tamara, Jaana and I finally got around to the Kuro/Shiro shoot last weekend. I have had the Robe a La Francaise for a little while now, but this was the first time I have got around to wearing it. Luckily for us the weather turned out to be stunning and we were able to get some great shots. We picked the Himeji gardens, which is a short walk from my house for the setting and the garden looked amazing this time of year. It looked like we were not the only ones who had those thoughts as there was a wedding along with two other groups getting professional shots done while we were there. Our photographers for the day were the lovely Jaana and my partner Chris. Continue reading…

I saw a youtube video the other day of a Lolita in the UK who posted a video of her tranforming from everyday into lolita. I thought it would be really cool to see some of the local lolitas do somthing similar with videos or pictures so we posted a challenge to see how many people would give it a try!
I have been really busy but I knew I had a lolita picnic coming up on the weekend so I thought I would spend the morning getting ready to do this. I knew that a video would be full of mistakes or me out of headshot so I decided to do pictures. Here is how my morning went. Continue reading…

February theme for EGL contest is “Time to twin!”

“To enter this contest, grab your best lolita pal and take a photo of you two twinning, and an explanation of your wardrobe choices (i.e. what makes you twins). Each member of the community may only be in a single twin-entry, and each entry may only have two people in the photo. Entries will be judged on the Creativity of your coordinates, Overall look/entry quality, Completeness of the Lolita Coordinate/Adherence to Lolita Aesthetic, and Adherence to the contest theme . Think outside the box here, twins dressed as something more than just wearing the same print will get more points for creativity, etc!”

I got Angelic Pretty’s Chocolate Chess bustier in mint while I was in Japan and I knew that one of the local loli’s, had the same dress in pink. This was a perfect excuse to hold a photo shoot and cazzles is a bunch of fun to take pictures of! When we were thinking of locations we thought about either doing something chess or chocolate related. I did find a local park that had a giant chess set, but Valentines day is also around the corner so the chocolate stores are dressing up the windows. We decided to take some pictures at Haighs, Haighs chocolate is a company that produces hand made chocolates in adelaide and it has a store in the Adelaide Arcade which has a wonderful classic/vintage feel to it. We teamed up with our lovely photographer Kairii and a group of lolitas for support. Continue reading…
