Laventeli-lady and lavender dreams

 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...

 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...

 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 ...

 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...

 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...
