Kummacon 2022 - Experience as a con staff and my autumn time

Image
 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...

Tracon 2022!

Image
 Hello everyone, I am back here again! I seem to always start a blog post with it has been some time... but sure, it has been quite some time between this and the last post. Everytime I try to predict my work schedule it just seems to ramp up and not leave me with ANY time. But I managed to sneak some time off and I was headed to Tracon, a big convention in Tampere, Finland. I was there doing some program stuff, I was one of the pokemon gym challenge - gym leaders and that took up most of my time. But I had time to be in a lolita community fashion show! I represented my most awesome comm, Porosuomen lolitat! It was organized byt the president of the Hellocon organization, same person who runs Cloudberry Lady, lovely Tuulia! She was amazing host and even though I was super nervous, this was my very first fashion show, I had a good time! Our theme was transformation, and I wanted to be a little witchy magical girl who maybe starts out as antagonistic but joins the main group later on...

Cloudberry Lady meetup in Oulu!

Image
 Hi all! It has not been so long since the last post, but here we are again! The beautiful Cloudberry Lady, finnish one person lolita indie brand, has been going around Finland hosting meetups in different cities and last week was Oulus turn! Oulu was closest to me and I had the opportunity to meet up with my comm, Porosuomen lolitat!     I did not take any photos from our table setup, but everything was beautiful! We were in this nice cafe inside and we had a reservation buffet there. Luckily I took photo of my own plate!  We had salmon-pasta salad, croissants, tea and smoothies! And other stuff but these were my favourites. I have quite a lot of food restrictions, but I was so happy I had many things to eat :) My food things are a lot of times a texture things, like I enjoy the taste of tomatoes, but I cannot stand the texture of raw tomatoes.  After eating, we had a lovely discussion, we had some new people so we introduced ourselves and then Cloudberry ...

Mystic Gallery and May 1st!

Image
 Hello all! It's May 1st and in Finland, that means it is Vappu! Vappu is a celebration of the working people and students. It is also considered the start of the spring season fully. Its quite cold here, even if the sun is shining, but usually during May everything warms up.  During Vappu people dress up in costumes and usually wear colorful clothing. I was joking to my spouse that it is Vappu and I am going to wear black and lavender, but they are my favourite lolita colors.  I wore Mystic Gallery from GlitterTale! I have already wrote that this was my first lolita dress that I put on, so I have most coords with this, I have not taken pictures of every coord but this dress really shows how I have improved! My first coord ever was with a black short-sleeved blouse, black wristcuffs and matching headbow. But now, I but more effort into my accessories. I have a necklace and I used the bow from LadySloths Giant Bow blouse as my waistbow and put a black ribbon at my waist. N...

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...

Wardrobe update!

Image
 Hello all! I am again trying to update this blog more, though I know that probably this is just for me to ramble as I tend to do. My wardobe has been quite the same, I have not aquired very many dresses in 2021. Mostly because my money has been going towards actual living costs, but now I my situation is looking better and maybe this year I can get the dresses I have been pining for. Meta has been releasing so many beautiful prints! Apple Bunny, Beau Couvert, dim light, Wizard's herbology and now Violets bouquet?! They are all super pretty <3 But back to the topic at hand, wardrobe update! I have two dresses that I have not yet documented in this blog and I just wanted to write a post about them.   The first one is Batgirl Circle from spookysparkleparty! I bought this over a year ago and I remember it arrived in the beginning of summer. I wore it to celebrate my birthday as it is very comfy dress and definitely in my alley. I love the print, its so magical and fun, bl...

Beary good new year!

Image
 Hello all! It's been over half a year I know, I know. My work swept me in and I had so little time and energy to do anything besides work, that all my hobbies suffered a bit. But that does not mean I have quit lolita fashion, I am just slow wearer. It makes me so happy to wear lolita, that I don't think I'll give it up.  A lot has happened, I went to lolita convention last year in september? October? I can't remember the day, but it was Domus Reginae in Turku, Finland! I had a draft about it but I never posted and I felt that it can go on here. I had so much fun there and got to meet my comm after a long time.    I wore Lady Sloths Galaxy Witch OP and it was super comfy! The sack OP cut was so comfortable for a long day and I decided to wear sneakers also. They match quite well and I am really happy with this coord! It's simple, but sometimes you need simple.  To the teaparty I wore Lady Sloths Teatime at Grandmas! I love the blue in this and the print is just...
