Beware, it's Lucky Pack season!

End of December is not only a time for running errands and buying last minute presents, it is also a time for booking your Lucky Packs!
 Lucky packs, or Fukubukuro, is a great way to get rid of the stock widely used in Japan, First couple of days of January, many brands are packing the items that have not been sold out in a great value for money blind packs and are sellign them away.

Traditionally, Lolita brands are also participating in those amazing deals, and this year I also decided to take the plunge. But now, let's take a look at the offers that our beloved companies are prparing for us:

Angelic Pretty

November Book of the Month: Jo Nesbo, The snowman

November was a month of finally getting my hands on the super popular novel by Norwegian author Jo Nesbo, The Snowman. As normally I am always reading in Russian, reading the book in English was surprizingly a challange for me.

For those who haven't yet heard about The Snowman, this is a thriller story about a detective who is coming into a case of the first serial killer in Norwegian history.  The book is filled with dark symbols, metaphors and allegories that are very easy to digest even by an unexperienced reader (such as yours truly), which leads to a bitter aftertaste after every time you set the book aside.

Fairy Rose Princess by Angelic Pretty

This winter Angelic Pretty had cheered us with a variety of great prints, and one of them really called my name: the gorgeus Fairy Rose Princess. The series come in three cuts (JSK, Special Set JSK, Princess OP) as well as a veil headdress and the stockings.

Princess OP

Personally I would say that even though I am a JSK gal, this OP really caught my eye! The way the cut is complimenting the print and feeling of the dress is spectacular, and I would definitely see myself wearing the gown (I would even go this far to call the OP this way) to a super fancy tea party!

Winter International Lolita day 2017

After years of skipping Lolita fashion and sort of avoiding it even, this year I decided to add few bits and pieces to my wardrobe. This resulted in a bit overboard shopping adventure throught the entire 2017, and of course in a desire to wear the fashion more often.

This winter ILD however I was out of town, so I chose a very simple not so lolita outfit with some dream print of mine ^^'

Blouse: Axes Femme

Skirt: Angelic Pretty

Shoes: Offbrand

Bow: taken from BtSSB dress >.<

These days are pretty busy at work, hence I am waiting for the Christmas Tea Party for an occasion to wear a fancier outfit.

The skirt though was a very pleasant surprise on how cute it looks in the reality! Already having the JSK from the same series in black,  I am event considering to possibly get another skirt in red colorway haha! 

Black Friday weekend fever

What a day, what a night! As a person who newly relocated from Russia to Europe, I was amazed by how excited the people are in the shopping malls! Of course, the struggle was not as real as in America, but still: shops were offering interesting discounts, and buyers made sure they used all of them!

 Not being as used to the crowd as it's necessary to enjoy the Black Friday, only treated myself in a Bath and Body Works store with an amazing fragrance, Snowflakes Cashmere, for some reason bringing me into nostalgia mood.
In addition, I have decided to grab some hand sanitizers in the Merry Cookie scent as paired with some ginger cookies and chocolate they make perfect little gifts to your friends.




However once I made in home, I made a serious mistake: I visited the Axes Femme website!

Khronos Utopia by Angelic Pretty

During few last months I was asking myself: which direction lolita fashion is going to? Not being an expert in it at all, I however was noticing some worrying signs such as Angelic Pretty releases not being sold out in seconds, lack of blood baths during the first days of new items dropping to the market... However our beloved AP proved us wrong and introduced the new series called Khronos Utopia.

The series contains of the OP, the JSK, the canotier and the OTK socks.

First comes the OP

One piece presented in the Khronos Utopia series resembles a lot of the famous Misty Sky OP: higher waist, longer skirt, gentle poof of the sleeves, however it does have the differences also.
