Gothic lolita basics

For years and years I have been in love with Japanese culture and fashion. My main favourite street style was and still is gothic lolita.

I wanted to do a post explaining the gothic lolita style and basics.

Gothic lolita street style was based around English Victorian and Rocco era dresses.

The term lolita in England and America is considered ladylike yet provocative after a film based on the 1940's was released (Enough about that anyways)

Gothic lolita followers consider the style to be cute and covered up, the opposite of provocative

The first garment of lolita wear is the undergarments, traditionally bloomers are worn with petticoats over the top, without this dresses lie flat, you want them to stick out and be volumised.

As for the accessories either a lace headband or mini tophats are worn, occasionaly bonnets feature in lolita style. Chokers are worn with lolita dresses that have low necklines, they often have a gothic style crucafix on them or hanging down.

Long socks must ALWAYS be worn, these are a lolita basic! Leg exposure is considered provocative, and lolita style is supposed to be innocent. Lolita shoes are usually a platform mary jane shoe, ballet pumps are also acceptable, but most lolitas go for these. The T.U.K. sailor shoes (as seen above) are a favourite of mine and go with any dark lolita dresses.

Lolita gloves can be worn (these are usually fingerless) they are usually mainly lace with a corset style middle.

There are many types of lolita dresses, these coloured ones are my favourites at the moment. Ill be posting more on lolita fashion theres more to come!

Fashion Post

Omg, Just realised how long its been since I posted! :O

Basicly, just for the update, iv been in america, started fashion college, got a job, and im planning to go to the clothes show live at the end of the year, Hooray!

Thought id post a few things i love right now :)

Jumpers + Tights I cant explain why i like this combo so much, but hey since winters coming might as well stock up on em'!

Floaty fabrics and 60's chic, long skirts especially, dont know if i can pull this off for everday wear though.

Dark see through fabrics, I Just recently bought a black sheer blouse from American Apparel, which is lovely so im putting the link here ;) www.americanapparel.com/rsa0345.html?cid=930

Long knee length skirts, with the front cut out! they dont have to be floor length though, if your unsure on them, try different fabrics, or lengths, avoid prints if its on more solid materials like cotton or linnen, or it could look like your wearing a bedsheet.

Fashion Post 2

I dont know why I bother labelling my posts by numbers, but you got to admit its much easyer to look through!

Anyways, fashion show very soon! Thought id post up one of my outfits (Which is actually for menswear but I love it too!)

Its based on the japanese street style visual kei, I love it!

And then Liam and I had a trip to town, gave the vintage shops a visit, this is behind one of them, just decided to take the opportunity for a quick few photos

I got this gorgeous ring from river island too, Think I will be wearing this on the catwalk.

Today an urban decay make-up artist used me as a model

She reminded me of an older me, which really made me question what is it I want to do with my life, Is what im doing now really of any use, Sure A-levels seem important to everyone else, but not to me, I dont enjoy them but its something to fall back on.

I mean, what is it I really want to do?

I wish I knew, I love fashion design, but I have my doubts about how good I am at it, I love modeling, I love photography.

Anything art related.

And I hate being indecisive, but who really wants to be trapped in one job for the rest of their lives?
