Laventeli-lady and lavender dreams

  Me and the amazing @thefreakyangelxox   Happy Valentine's Day everyone! This is the first post of the year, nice to see you here! It is the usual story of me working too much and being too busy to see my comm. But we are now here <3 Kuvaaja: Olivia @Matsucon You may remember this dress from the fashion show at Matsucon last year, well I got it! I just had to have this dress, I mean, it was made to fit me and it is so beautiful!  This dress was made by Cloudberry Lady, so thank you so much Tuulia! She is super talented and has such an eye for details! The fabric is slightly textured and it makes it so intresting to look at! I am not a professional dressmaker, I am not even an amateur dressmaker, but this dress feels super comfortable!As a plussize individual, comfort in my clothes is very important to me. I don't want to worry about buttons popping or my undergarments showing and I have zero worries in this dress.  I was surprised to like the ribbons in front, I ...

 Hello! I have been at it again and I have returned to this blog! Sooner than later this time.  I attended Matsucon at Oulu, Finland. Its the largest city somewhat near me, and somehow I had some free time from my work! Its somewhat miraculous that I had nothing on my plate at that time so I took it upon myself to apply to be a model!  Tuulia, the designer and owner of Cloudberry Lady, held THE biggest fashion show on her brands history! She told that her brand has 10 year birthday this year, so it was only proper to get BIG.  The Fashion show had a theme of Halloween meets Christmas! We had the tree, some presents, decorations, mad scientist, a triceratops, you know all those essential christmas things? Well, I had the absolute honor of being the last dress and the triceratops to save the christmas!  All these pictures are from freakyangel.com or @freakyangelxox ! She wound up being a houseguest for a night so we had some time to talk about these pictures!...

 Hello! I have a newfound inspiration to write again, as I guess every lolita who keeps a blog and lives at a reasonable travel distance away from Helsinki, since last weekend the was Hellocon! Hellocon is focused solely on lolita fashion and is THE con for finnish lolitas. I held a presentation there and it was a wonderful exprience! Thank you again my lovely listeners if you stumble across this post!  I talked about challenges that I encountered while starting as a plus size person and how I am overcoming them and what I did. I felt very nervous, I shared some very personal things, but I think that I was able to help and give out some courage.  Most of my slides were in finnish, as a reminder of sorts for me, but I'll post them and write a little about what I talked about under each slide.  First little introductions, I'm actually not sure if I have talked about this in my blog but I do have both ADHD and autism!  How did it begin? I first found out about the ...

 Hello! I am back and so soon! Yes, I have a free day after the con and decided to write while the con is still fresh on my mind! I was organizing escape room and *drumroll* a Lolita fashion show! It was really exciting to do, I spent so much time being worried about it but everyone was so nice <3 My first time hosting something during con.   It was really nice, it was a small show, 7 models and me. But everyone was so beautiful and had really thoughtful coords I just could not say how much I appreciated them in the moment! I was very very flustered at the beginning, cause ironically, I had not considered how to enter the stage myself to host! So I just kinda... started talking and then did not stop...                   Here are the amazing Poro-Suomen lolitat! (Reindeer-Finlands lolitas) My lovely comm <3   My coord for the fashion show was, of course, lavender! Our theme for Kummacon this year was fl...

 Hello! It seems that I start every blog post with "It has been a while", but it is very accurate to my method of writing, or perhaps, the lack thereof.  So, where to begin? When I last wrote, it was October of 2022. Time has truly flown by, I have been working so very much and recently it has been bothering me. I have quite limited amount of time that I get to myself and it has been taken up by ever-increasing amount of work. I was on a sick leave for the whole October and November, so it has been somewhat difficult to get adjusted back to the flow of things.  I have been dressing up quite rarely this year, I don't have a good space to take pictures anymore, and so I feel like its more of a hassle to move things to get pictures taken, and I don't have enough free time to make it to meetups... It has been a sad time for a lonely lolita.  As you can see, the lights in my new apartment are very yellow. I have to really see if we get some new lights for next winter, cau...

 Hello hello! I have been super busy not with work all the time, but with mental health stuff, so I have not had a lot to write about. I have been recovering from burn out and trying to take time for my hobbies and intrests. So! I participated in coordtober prompt challenge organized by Hellocon! The prompt I went with was Autumn Adventurer! I wore Metamorphoses My Dear Friends, Lady Sloths Giant Bow Blouse and red shoes from Sosic Shop.  I had fun and as you can see, my background has changed, I moved in July and I have had so. many. bags. to. unpack.... But now I have storage room for all my dresses and other things. I still have few bags that I have not touched and it feels like this month of october has flown by.  I have been doing more and more stuff with some amazing people at Studio Korppikela, they have been organizing larps and the yearly Kummacon at Oulu, which is THE big city near me. So I started by joining their larp-writing team and I slowly got into more an...
