Londoner Sunday

You know the type of person who has a natural sense of orientation? 

I mean, the type you would trust without question to drop you safely home if you were forced into the deepest part of the forest. The type of person who is a living compass.

Well, that´s NOT me.

I am more the type of person who is lost by following any new itinerary (and also at well-known places, unfortunately), inmediately panics and finishes her day crying on a dark corner where no strangers can see her misery.

Enchanted

I managed to collect all the wonderful pictures I could find about the great Lolita event from the oficial photographers. It looks like somehow all my own photos looked blurry and quite dark.

But the important thing is that here they are: FINALLY.

I do hope you enjoy my lolita adventures as much as I did, darlings!

Pre-Enchanted brunch

On Saturday morning I woke up at my friend´s place in London, got ready and took the underground to Liverpool Station (as a matter of fact, I usually call it Loverpool Station, but that´s a different story and it would deserve its own post), where I was picking up some girls for brunch. I have no idea of how this happened, but at some point between January and last weekend, I realized I knew hardly anyone attending the big Lolita convention and figured out it could be super nice to arrange a pre-Enchanted meal, so I would have the chance to make new international acquaitances.

Landing in the UK

"With great power, comes great responsibility".

That´s what I normally keep in mind whenever I am taking a flight. Why? 

Well, I might actually have an shocking secret to share with you, darlings: I am a super-hero.

Camden Town Haul

I am finally back home after a very exciting (and also exhausting) weekend.

There are lots of good memories as well as tons of pictures, but those need some time to be processed, so I thought I could start telling you about the trip by showing my shopping haul.

Next destination: London

The time I´ve been waiting for, since I received my special Christmas gift, has finally arrived.

Enchanted event will be run this weekend!

That means three hundred Lolitas from the European continent meeting on a Victorian luxury hotel to watch fashion parades, have tea, take pictures, and of course make some serious shopping.

And specially, it means I will be boarding to London.

On Friday I´ll land there to spend the weekend with my friends (I miss them so much! They were my family during my UK stay), and after Saturday convention we´ll be able to enjoy some quality time together. And well, let´s admit it, Camden Town too ♥

So everything is packed now and I hope I´ll have a bunch of good stories to tell you when I am back.

Lots of love meanwhile, see you soon!

Five O´clock Tea at Phileas Fogg´s place

This has been a very long and nice weekend.

The type in which you make so many things that at the end it looks it has lasted ages.

On Friday afternoon, The Gentle One and I decided to spend the day together as on Saturday I was busy by developing a second brain plus a second pair of arms in order to organize and attend a Lolita meetup in Bucharest (but that´s another story... and I´ll be telling later).

Martie Soare

It looks like Father Winter has decided is time to go.

We haven´t had any snow lately around here (yay!) and Spring has come, not just like weather, but also under the shape of calendar festivities.

At the beginning of the month we celebrated Martie Soare  or the Spring party in Romania.

Royal purple roses headpiece

I´ve never considered myself really crafty.

I mean, when you grow up on a family in which everybody seems to be gifted for manual works and you are clumsy, well... you start thinking you must be the clack sheep. I mean, there is not other black sheep around so... it has to be you.

My mum can sew a dress with one hand and knit a shawl with the other, one of my sisters used to design (AND make!) her own corsets, my dad can fix up any ruined supply, my youngest sister can make amazing pictures with eyes shut and I...  eerrrr... I am the smartie bookworm but, being honest, I never tried to use my hands the way they do.

Tonya, can you play the balalaika?

When I first read about Sophistique Noir´s month event being outwear, I inmediately thought it was the perfect ocassion to show my new Russian countess cape to you.

As I told you before, I received it on Christmas Day and, as long as it was a very expensive item, I did not expect it at all. 

BUT I was a nice girl and Santa decided to pet me a bit.

Good for me!
