Time to sweep off the dust

 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, cause I really don't want to spend my whole winter color correcting everything.


 

But some new things that I got are my custom GlitterTale Green tartan vest and skirt! Somewhat different from my usual style, but I have been gravitating towards some classic pieces and this tartan was just calling my name so I decided to get something new! This vest has been used also in larp, I was a secretary of the Miskatonic Universitys headmaster, so very important and I had to look the part! 

I have some very nice stuff coming up, for example, my wonderful comm is doing a fashion show in Kummacon Oulu! I organize the thing and I hope to write about that sooner that next years March. Or at least I hope so! 

See you sooner this time,

-Laventeli

  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 ...

Matsucon and Cloudberry Lady FASHION SHOW!

Image
 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!...

Twinkle Journey and March happenings

Image
 Hello! March has gone by in a flash, I barely realized it was going and now it is going to end! I had a long week workinga at a camp, but now that I have been back at home, I feel much more rested and happy. I have been super busy with work and with personal matters, so taking a break and having some fun dressing up was really welcome and I am glad I did it.  So I wore Twinkle Journey! I have talked about this dress already, but it is the older version of Twinkle Journey, the puff sleeved op cut, but unfortunately the elastic in the sleeves has given up and so my sleeves don't puff up anymore. Still, it is a beautiful dress and I plan on taking this dress to a seamstress and asking if they can replace all the elastics, so that this dress can shine another ten years forward at least!  I really went for the simplest coord idea I had, my dress and headbow are both Twinkle Journey from Metamorphose (yes, I got the headbow secondhand also). My socks are from Lady Sloth, my ne...
