<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was freezing cold but the pictures look magically warm. I'm time and time again amazed by Sanni's talent. (I'm also glad we aren't really going to get married in winter so we never have to endure this again. :'D)<br />
<br />
So, here are my favourite pictures from the shoot (which means almost all of them because all of them are so beautiful):</div>

<br />
My friend <a href="http://parasolobsession.blogspot.fi/" target="_blank">Mimi</a> came up with a brilliant idea:<br />
<br />
<h3>
#LolitaChristmasChallenge! </h3>
<br />
Her idea was to create a sort of Christmas calendar with lolita coordinations on Instagram. I fell in love with this concept right away and wanted to participate, so we came up with the hashtag and decided to share this with you - it would be lovely if someone else would like to take part in this, as well! So if you like the idea, <b>please feel free to participate!</b> I'll be sure to check out any coordination under the hashtag. :)<br />
<br />
<h3>
The "rules": </h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
1. Pick a theme - it doesn't have to be Christmas related. It could be anything: your favourite season, colour, pattern, animal, place, food...<br />
2. Create a coordination around that theme from 1st to 24th of December.<br />
3. Take a picture of your coordinate (either worn, on a dummy or simply laid out) and post it to Instagram.<br />
4. Remember to tag all your coordinations with #LolitaChristmasChallenge.<br />
5. Be creative & have fun!<br />
<br />
<h3>
My theme for the challenge: bunnies</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
It wasn't that hard to decide what my theme would be! I will try to create 24 different coordinations ranging from just slightly neurotic to full on crazy bunny lady mode.<br />

<br />
I'm trying to get back on track with blogging - and I do have lots of material, too! :'D<br />
<br />
So here's my outfit for Helsinki Lolita Convention 2016, also known as the last Hellocon ever. I'm curious to see what's up next.<br />
<br />
My theme for the outfit was <i>crazy bunny lady à la crazy bunny lady.</i> Bunnies are one of my favourite, most frequently seen themes nowadays! I've gone on full crazy bunny lady mode and I have no regrets. I've been hoarding lots of bunny themed accessories and home decor stuff lately. I really liked this outfit, and I love that dress! <span style="text-align: center;">The powder pink bag is a lucky find from Rome - we made another trip there this spring and the Italians really do know how to make cute leather bags and shoes...</span><br />

My purchases</h3>
<div>
I'm in a good place financially now that I'm working, so I promised myself that this will be the Hellocon where I am allowed to buy anything I want. And so I did. It was super fun though I did have some quilty feelings later - I'm not used to spending so much money at once. I've been doing a make over in my wardrobe - I've bought quite a few new things, but I've also sold many dresses that don't fit my style anymore. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, in Hellocon I bought <br />
<ul>
<li>A beautiful Twin Flower dress, handmade of recycled materials </li>
<li>Baby's classical heart bag which I have been drooling over ever since I started dressing in lolita fashion a little over decade ago </li>
<li>Innocent World's bolero - another thing I've wanted for a very long time </li>
<li>Miss Danger Shop's bunny brooch/headdress (what did I say about hoarding bunny stuff?!) and</li>
<li>Illves's adorable chubbycorn brooch. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Good evening everyone!<br /><br />I've been really lazy to update my blog, but I have many outfits to share, so do stay tuned!<br /><br />This one is from Easter. My friend Karla organized an Easter party and the theme was bunnies - which always works for me! - so I threw in a couple of bunny themed accessories. </div>

It feels so weird to look at this outfit now, when it's sunny and warm outside and I have those thick black stockings. But back then it was still chilly and I actually liked this outfit. x)</div>

Here's an outfit from a couple of weeks ago. I went to a tea party hosted by my friend Karla. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At that time I was reading <i>Gone With the Wind </i>and it might have inspired my hairdo. </div>

She also likes to be photographed. Karla said that the bigger and fancier the camera, the more she loves it. I put the sounds on on my phone and when she heard the clicks, she started to pose, standing very still and pretty until I put the phone away. What a funny bird. x)<br />

<br />
Well well, long time, no blogging. To be honest I've been reflecting if I should give blogging up all together. Now that I write almost daily in my job I find it harder to find energy for blogging. I don't have as much time and energy to wear lolita as I'd like, either.<br />
<br />
On the other hand I've had this blog so long that I'm not quite ready to give up on it yet. And neither am I ready to give up lolita fashion. So now I'm thinking that maybe I should still keep blogging, even if it's less frequent, and try to invest in the quality of photos I share here, using a proper camera whenever it's possible. There will surely still be occasional phone shots, as I most certainly will not carry my camera with me all the time in the future either.<br />
<br />
So, dear lords and ladies, please bear with me - I'm not dead, I'm just busy with my work and studies. If you want more frequent updates on what I'm up to, feel free to follow me on Instagram - I update it more often. My current account is <a href="https://www.instagram.com/caranette/" target="_blank">@caranette</a>.<br />
<br />
And the actual topic of this post is <b>a Valentine's day tea party</b> that Mimi hosted, or more precisely my outfit for it. The party was just fabulous. Mimi and her husband had prepared blini with several delicious toppings and chocolate cake with vanilla cream. Everything was served with Russian style samovar tea which was delicious, too. Of course it was also nice to see my frilly girls after a long time, and be able to wear frills myself. :3<br />
<br />
My outfit for the day was simple and comfy. I liked this one a lot.<br />

I also take this opportunity to show some of my latest purchases; a Laura Ashley coat and a Michael Kors purse. I bought these keeping both my everyday style and my lolita style in mind, and in my opinion they go very well with both.<br />

<br />
Today I met with my lovely friends to have afternoon tea. Our dress code was Innocent World, so everything in my outfit is from IW - except for shoes (vintage) and jewelry (Kalevala Jewelry). <br />

This was my first time wearing this dress and I wanted to show it to you properly, so here's some close ups too! :3 I really like how Kalevala Jewelry's <i>The Heart of The House </i>necklace looks with lolita.<br />

Tiia and I wore the same dress, only in different colour! Mimi said we really looked like sisters - I think so, too. Tiia's hairdo was to die for, she looked so adorable! ♥ (Tiia, can I adopt you as my second little sister? :D)<br />

Today's was a wonderful day. It was so nice to see everyone and the weather was gorgeous! I love this kind of autumn weather - cool, clear, fresh and sunny. Autumn is my favourite season and I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

<br />
Lately I've been shopping quite a lot. I've been trying to update my everyday wardrobe towards more office friendly and less student like direction. Besides that, I've also started collecting My Little Ponies again.<br />
<br />
1. A dress with a tulip pattern by Ivana Helsinki and seriously shiny necklaces by Kooky Gems. I'm planning to wear the cloud necklace to cheer up the rainy days. The bunny necklace doesn't need to happen for a reason - I love everything with bunnies on it, period. (There will certainly be pictures of the dress worn later!)<br />

2. Lace collar dresses from Dorothy Perkins. These are super comfy to wear, and also cute. I really like the colours.<br />

4. A flamingo bag charm. I don't even know why. It's crazy, funny and pink, I guess that's the reason. Right now this actually hangs on my ugly work laptop bag and makes it just a bit more tolerable, so it found its rightful place.<br />

<br />
This was my outfit to the J-fashion Fair. I found the inspiration from autumn which had just begun here in Helsinki. Autumn is my favourite season and I'm always very excited about it. I had a bad outfit crisis just before the event. Eventually I came up with this one and was very happy about it. I think this might be my favourite outfit of the ones I've worn recently. <br />

<br />
The event was quite nice. Everything was well organized and there wasn't too much program, so there was plenty of time to chat with friends and shop, which was great.<br />
<br />
I purchased this embroidered OP by Innocent World...<br />

<br />
So, as I promised, I'll now start posting some outfits I've worn during the last month or two, starting with the oldest. This was my look for the <a href="http://www.sinebrychoffintaidemuseo.fi/en/" target="_blank">Sinebrychoff Art Museum</a>'s Rococo exhibition. <br />

Closeups of the accessories. I was happy to notice that all of my Kalevala Jewelry's pieces go really nicely together even though not all of them are from the same series.<br />

We are back from Paris and I'm only now posting the second part of our trip to Rome in May. Besides the Paris pictures, I have some outfits to post, too, so be sure to stay tuned!<br />
<br />
On the third day of our trip we visited St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican. It was too enormous to comprehend, much larger than I had thought it to be even though I did know it is <i>huge</i>. It's very grand and beautiful of course, but I must admit I think this church is almost tacky. There's just too much of everything. I liked Sagrada Familia's airy, elegant interior much more.<br />
<br />

We also climbed hundreds of scary stairs in tiny, always narrower towers to the top of the Basilica. It was so distressing but also quite an experience! The view was nice, of course.<br />

On the fourth day we visited Palazzo Doria-Pamphilj. It was almost empty, and after the extremely crowded St. Peter's it was relaxing to wander the silent halls in peace. The Palazzo was pretty, but nothing compared to Versailles which we visited while we were in Paris. <br />

P.S. How many of you are going to the J-Fashion Fair at Gloria, Helsinki this weekend? I think I'll go, so if you happen to see me, come say hi! :)Carameahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01047951341922487604noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159199112789352676.post-39534872486996029042015-07-26T15:38:00.001-07:002015-07-26T15:38:48.137-07:00Odessa's Birthday PartyHi, everyone!<br />
<br />
Last weekend I hosted a little birthday party for my bunny, Odessa, as she turned seven this July. It all started as a joke by my fiancé, but I fell in love with the idea and wanted to have the bunny birthday party for real. It was mainly a good excuse to wear a bunny themed outfit and meet with some dear friends - but it was also a chance for me to celebrate all the years I've had with Odessa so far. I can never know how many years Odessa still has left, so it's better to party while she's here. ♥ Naturally we gave Odessa some treats and petted her a lot. Chico also got his share of the attention.<br />

I made (among other treats) matcha & chocolate cookies for the party. They were delicious, and I'll certainly bake these again in the future. There are some minor things I want to improve, though - it was my first time trying out this recipe.<br />

Me and my fiancé had a date on Monday, and I got to wore lolita after such a long time. My hair is completely over grown, so it was clearly time for a hat day.</div>

I really like this wooden bunny brooch and want to wear it all the time. Luckily it's quite neutral in colour, so it kinda matches with everything.<br />

In the end, have a picture of Chico and Odessa, my two fluffbuts. ♥ We'll have him with us 'till Monday. It's nice to spend some time with him, and I'm planning to go for a long walk everyday - I just hope it doesn't rain too much. <br />

<br />
I finally went trough the Rome pictures, so here's some moments from our Roman holiday (yes, I just had to say that).<br />
<br />
On our first day in Rome, it rained and thundered, but that was totally okay because we spent that time sleeping in our hotel room. I'm always exhausted on arrival if we take an early morning flight, as we now did, and it was really nice to sleep while listening to the rain outside. After our nap it was still a little bit rainy, but not nearly as much, so we went to see the Cathedral of Santa Maria Machiore.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This Cathedral was really big, bold and beautiful, and yet it was nothing compared to the Basilica of St. Peter's, as we would later discover. (Pictures of St. Peter's are coming up in the next post!)<br />

We visited so many incredible places in Rome, and that was great. But the best moments of our holiday were not those we spent admiring the sights. What I really liked most was when we just wondered up and down the narrow streets. It was really hard to get any decent pictures of them, as the light and shadows were just too strong. I just loved them anyway. The sights were always super crowded (of course), but on the little streets there were no other travellers, just us and some locals. <br />

There was so much to see! In every corner there were little but pompous churches, colourful houses, flower wines climbing the walls, lovely boutiques and restaurants... and most importantly, it was so peaceful and relaxing (though naturally our feet were killing us each day). One day, we walked all the way from the Vatican to our hotel. It took half a day, but it was wonderful and totally worth the foot pains.<br />

And the food and gelatos there, of my Goddes, they were so delicious! We only ate in places where the locals ate, too, and so all the food was really good, and quite affordable also. We love food (we really do), and it's important for us that we eat well on our holidays. Now we most certainly did! (Actually the only place so far where the food was not good was London, and that's why we didn't like it that much). <br /><br />P.S. Now that we are on the subject of travelling; I had a panel about travelling and packing tips for lolita in Hellocon and I was wondering should I also post those tips here?

<br />
Although <a href="http://newvoguechildren.blogspot.fi/2015/06/what-i-would-like-to-see-in-lolita-next.html" target="_blank">I'm not particularly craving for prints right now</a>, I still thought I'd take part in today's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/lolitablogcarnival/" target="_blank">Lolita Blog Carnival</a> topic. Here's what I'd like to see in future prints - heck, if someone really made these happen, I'd certainly wear them, too!<br />
<br />
1. <b>Boeing 737</b> majestically taking over atop of a buzzling metropolis, also shown in silhouette, or atleast effortlessly gliding through the fiery sunset skies. Travelling continues to be one of my greatest passions and I have always loved airplanes. In my past I've worked mostly with Boeing 737s and it's still my favourite model. In a print, this would naturally be a one time, large image on the hem, and the upper part of the dress would be either black or dark blue, depending on the print colours. Maybe someone could even release both "ink black" and "midnight blue" colourways? Pretty please?!<br />

In all of my ears in lolita, I have not yet seen a brand release dress that captures unicorns just right. <a href="http://newvoguechildren.blogspot.fi/2015/02/lolita-blog-carnival-your-favourite.html" target="_blank">Historical unicorns are lovely</a>, too, but I can't really take the pastel, cutese wutesy, stuffed toy like unicorns. That's just not what unicorns are for me. Ever since I was a kid, I've been obsessed with unicorns and in my mind they continue to be pure, wild, fierce, mystical and powerful creatures. Not something you would pet. In short, I'd like to see unicorn prints that really capture them right and do them justice. <br />

<br />
2. <b>Bunnies</b>. Same as with unicorns, I'd like to see more natural looking bunny prints. I have no objections to bunny prints being cutesy wutesy, though, because that's what they really are. A bunny print where the bunnies hop in a forest or on a flower meadow would be just wonderful.<br />

<br />
3. <b>Books</b>, but this time in pastel, or at least faded colours. We've seen some amazing book dresses from brands, but they all tend to be quite dark and heavy. I would like to see something more fresh and light this time. The books could still be old fashioned, of course, just change the colour schemes.<br />

<br />
4. Why of course, <b>tea</b>, tea cups, tea pots, tea parties, pastries - yes please! Tea is one of my dearest hobbies (amongst travelling, bunnies and books) and I never tire of tea releated prints, no matter how often they are seen. As with book prints, I'd like to see something a little bit more mature, rather than cute. Faded pastels, antique cups, maybe some Rococo influences...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
5.<b> Flowers</b>, as they also are one of my all time favourite themes in lolita (and in everything else too). But instead of the usual roses (though I adore them, too) I'd like to see delicate, small wild flowers. A meadow, or maybe flowers taking over some ancient ruins... Something really summer-y and fairytale like. The print could be really realistic, or really dreamy and look like it was painted with watercolours.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
6. <b>Conclusion</b>: I'd like to see prints that are either really striking in colour, or really soft and faded. I'd like to see old lolita themes re-invented in a way that we haven't seen them yet. I'd also like to see more border, or at least on the hem only prints, the kind of prints that don't look too busy, nor too boring either. The perfect balance (yes, I can be quite demanding sometimes)!<br />

Hello, everyone!</div>
<br />
Some time ago I received a dress that I have wanted to own for many years; Innocent World's <i>Frigg</i> JSK in ivory. I might say it's my dream dress, but I feel like I've grown over the dream dress phase, when I was frantically searching for and willing to pay almost anything to get the dress I really wanted. Neverthless, the dress is indeed very dreamy and I am so happy to finally have it. Pictures don't do it justice - it's so much more gorgeous in real life. I'm considering this to be my wedding dress, so until then I try not to wear it. <br />

<br />
Lately I've taken a habit of writing different kind of positive lists into a notebook dedicated for this. I list things that inspire me, things I would like to do, places I would like to visit, things that I am thankful for, and so on. The most recent list I wrote under the title <b>"What I would like to see in lolita next"</b>. I thought I'd share that with you, too. So, here we go...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

♥ More natural, but still gorgeous make up styles <br />
♥ Relaxed (e.g. curly hair kept loose) hairdos made of one's own hair<br />
♥ Practicality, wearability, comfyness<br />
♥ Dainty, elegant outfits with some historical influence - "old times" feeling<br />
♥ Old school lolita influences<br />
♥ Having fun with colours<br />
♥ Luxurious details (such as lace, bows, frills)<br />
♥ Great quality fabrics (e.g. cotton velvet, silk, linen) and shoes (real leather only)<br />
<br />
I long for this fashion to move towards more relaxed, wearable
direction. I wish to see outfits that are easy and comfy to wear, but
not boring in the least. Oufits that are of great quality and
coordinated with care and love to detail. Outfits that you can wear for a
trip to your local library, or a nice cup of tea at your favorite tea
shop. Outfits that even on a hot summer day feel good to wear. In short,
I would like to see outfits that are less costume-like and more
natural. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I am getting tired of
this trend or always more, always bigger, always better. I would like to
see something more simple for a change.<br />

All that being said, I'd like to introduce you to a small, starting clothing brand owned by two Finnish ladies, <b>Twin Flower</b>.
They make beautiful lolita clothes using recycled materials whenever
that's possible. Their brand just happens to have just the kind of look that
inspires me right now. All of the pictures used for this post are from
Twin Flower (and posted with their permission) - so please do check out
their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/twinflowerfinland?fref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>, and if you like what you see, remember to show your support to them. </div>

What would you, dear readers, like to see in lolita (or fashion in general) next? Feel free to discuss in the comments!<br />
<br />
P.S. Since someone is most likely going to ask this, if I don't say it, I spill it out now; no, this blog post is <i>not</i> sponsored or suggested by Twin Flower. All of the opinions, as well as my adoration for this brand, are purely my own and genuine. First I wrote my list by hand, then I thought about making it into a blog post, and only after that I had the idea that Twin Flower's pictures would go greatly with this post. They are saving me a lot of trouble by kindly letting me use their pictures, and I like to promote Finnish design whenever I get the chance, so this is a win-win situation all around. <br />
<br />
P.P.S. To those (foreign?) readers that might not know about this; in Finland there is actually a law that forbids bloggers to do co-operation with brands without clearly stating it in their blog posts. So if I ever get a chance for a co-operation with a brand that I actually like (Hello, Twin Flower!), you can rest assured that I will most certainly tell it very clearly. ;) Carameahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01047951341922487604noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159199112789352676.post-51761628894309420112015-06-25T02:40:00.000-07:002015-06-25T02:40:24.577-07:00The Greatest Source of InspirationWhat inspires me most right now is the nature, and especially flowers. The lilacs are in full bloom, among with many other flowers and plants. Rose has long been my favorite flower, but lately I've been really drawn to the smaller and more delicate flowers, especially wild ones. <br />

It all started with this adorable little bouquet that my Mom had left for us when we came home from Rome. I was so happy to be home anyway, and it was even nicer when this was waiting for us. This bouquet helped me realise how lovely a simple jar with some small flowers can look, and so I kept the jar... <br />

...and since devil is in the details, I also added some white lace to uppgrade this cute jar into even more cute.<br />

Finland really is at its best during summer. Everything is so fresh and green. This picture is from a walk with my Mom and Chico. Chico is clearly smiling. ♥ The road originates from the World War I era and was used to move cannons. This forest was an important air defence base during Finland's wars. It also happens to be one of my dearest places in Helsinki, so I take a walk there quite often.<br />

Last weekend I went for a long, peaceful evening walk with my fiancé. We found a cliff <i>full</i> of wild violets. It is a magical place that I will definitely visit again.<br />

<br />
We also took some flowers home. Lupines are considered to be weeds, but I think they look just lovely and make a wonderful bouquet, too. We found three different shades of lupines and I picked a couple of flowers in each shade.<br />

I'm also enjoying the occasional blue skies! This is a rare sight in Finland during the long winter months (and sometimes in summer, too), so it's really refreshing. I just love Helsinki in summer, the city seems to come more alive. <br />

<br />
Here's some outfits (and new things), originally from my <a href="https://instagram.com/maricaranette/" target="_blank">Instagram account</a>, that I now want to share with you, too.<br />
<br />
Let's start with the most recent. This is my "modern witch" look from yesterday. I think my new rose headband suits Midsummer perfectly. I wasn't actually aiming for a witchy look, but it turned out to be one. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaVAtDdV28_-zDQa3vRZxeTC31Q_9PGdt9Dbv8zy2LXU9zjpqieP7rATHcaK6mhGiyQfwsX0y_MjMxkyFyTUkcVKRAn5ga-ke4t0CtK0KXstAgtB8O-3IZvK4EGwK6g71W6bR3h6tq_UM/s1600/IMG_20150619_170343.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaVAtDdV28_-zDQa3vRZxeTC31Q_9PGdt9Dbv8zy2LXU9zjpqieP7rATHcaK6mhGiyQfwsX0y_MjMxkyFyTUkcVKRAn5ga-ke4t0CtK0KXstAgtB8O-3IZvK4EGwK6g71W6bR3h6tq_UM/s400/IMG_20150619_170343.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Then some closeups of the accessories. I got this <i>Heart of The House</i> necklace (by <a href="http://www.kalevalajewelry.com/eu/" target="_blank">Kalevala Jewelry</a>) from my fiancé a little while ago. It's so lovely!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the rose headband. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWuAr9GAp7mCtvhGJQnMDUFLRs5Kkzq-HGbJuWaB9cJaJ5OqLVAe-p4XX0JjhzD6EeAeWLroD78EFSNbi22ZAKSMJpXzgp1gGVgXT-5MfxyeOzADqFe5P4Wk_-qpshO70LkLUyIyFHiAU/s1600/IMG_20150618_164149.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWuAr9GAp7mCtvhGJQnMDUFLRs5Kkzq-HGbJuWaB9cJaJ5OqLVAe-p4XX0JjhzD6EeAeWLroD78EFSNbi22ZAKSMJpXzgp1gGVgXT-5MfxyeOzADqFe5P4Wk_-qpshO70LkLUyIyFHiAU/s400/IMG_20150618_164149.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
This dress is also quite new. It's really versatile, as it can be dressed both up and down. I've worn it to work, as well as to parties. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A while ago I also finally bought these fairy tale book boxes from H&M that I'd been eyeing for ages. They are so cute! I'm going to store my jewelry in them.<br />

<br />
We came home from Rome yesterday, and it was a wonderful trip indeed. I'll post pictures from Rome later - there's so much of them it will take some time to sort them out.<br />
<br />
In the meanwhile, we shall return to Hellocon 2015 for a moment! I'd like to show you my outfits and the fashion show me and <a href="http://parasolobsession.blogspot.fi/" target="_blank">Mimi</a> organized. Let's start with my con outfit. I decided to wear my <i>Magical Etoile</i> JSK
by Angelic Pretty, as it suits both the circus theme and the guests of
honour. I also got to meet Maki and Asuka briefly. They were very cute
and kind and had prepared a special message for the lolitas of Helsinki -
adorable!<br />
<br />

And then on to our fashion show, <i>The Carnival of Decadence</i>! I
really love how balanced it turned out - all the outfits were equally amazing on their own, but they also really worked together nicely. I'm so
proud of all the models, too - they did great! ♥ (Do watch the video in HD, please!)<br />

<br />Well, my dear readers, I guess that's it for now. Did you find a favourite amongst the fashion show outfits? If you did, please do share that in the comments! I might do one more post of Hellocon 2015, so stay tuned for that, too! ;)<br />Carameahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01047951341922487604noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159199112789352676.post-77885693830498978412015-05-16T08:45:00.000-07:002015-05-16T08:45:40.555-07:00Cherry Blossoms Good afternoon, lords and ladies!<br />
<br />
As I said earlier, I missed hanami due to having a flu. I still have it, but today we visited the <a href="http://www.vihreatsylit.fi/en/?p=1578" target="_blank">Roihuvuori Japanese style garden</a> anyway, because I really wanted to see the cherry blossoms before they're gone. There were far less people now than during the hanami (of course), so it was really nice to walk there in peace and quiet, listening to birds' sing (and they sang a lot!). It was a really lovely date, a little bit different to what we usually have. <br />

Besides cherry trees, there are other types of gardens in this park, too. All the other gardens have Finnish plants, flowers and trees, which is really nice. I especially loved this path among the mossy rocks. Moss is something that most Finns just want to get rid of in their gardens - which I can not understand, as moss is really beautiful - so it's a nice change to see it appreciated as a part of Finnish nature and garden. The atmosphere in this part of the garden was very fairytale-like. If you ever happen to visit Helsinki, and want to see something that's not so typical tourist attraction, I can warmly recommend Roihuvuori garden for you.<br />

My shoes for the day. I'm still feeling rather anti-fabulous because of my flu, and didn't bother to put on any makeup. But one can always wear nice shoes so easily. These shoes are extremely comfortable and easy to walk with. They have been with me to London, Barcelona and Praque already, and soon they'll travel to Rome. <br />

Besides cherry blossoms and flu, my life consists mainly of studying right now. I'm so busy and stressed out because of my studies. One more week to go, and then it's off to Rome! A much needed and very deserved holiday indeed. This spring has been crazy, and I'm looking forward to summer when I can fully concentrate on my work.<br />
<br />Have a lovely week end, all of you! ♥Carameahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01047951341922487604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159199112789352676.post-17691177077067965532015-05-15T03:04:00.001-07:002015-05-15T03:04:59.950-07:00Lolita Blog Carnival: Create A Flower Themed CoordinateHello, everyone!<br />
<br />
Yesterday there was a hanami celebration in our local Japanese style garden. I would have loved to go, but came down with a flu, and therefore couldn't. Just my typical luck... I had planned to wear something like this for the hanami, and since it fits the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/lolitablogcarnival/" target="_blank">Lolita Blog Carnival </a>theme for today, I decided to post it like this anyway. (The original plan was to post it worn, but since I'm feeling rather anti-fabulous at the moment, this will have to do.)<br />
<br />
You've already guessed it; my chosen flower for this coordinate is <b>rose</b>, one of my favourite flowers. Not very original, but I happen to own many rose print dresses, so it was an obvious choise. I wanted to make the coordinate very sweet and pastel coloured, fit for a spring stroll or a summer picnic. The dress is Angelic Pretty's <i>Lady Rose</i> JSK, one of my dream dresses. The Minna Parikka bunny ear shoes I chose not only because they match the colours, but also because they are very comfy and easy to walk with in a park.<br />
<br />

To emphasize the rose theme, I would wear lots of roses in my hair, and a self-made rose bracelet on the wrist. For legwear I would have chosen airy lace thigts in nude or white. <br />

P.S. If you want to, please feel free to share your favourite flower(s) in the comments! I'm curious, if any of you have the same favourites as I. I actually have a new favourite flower in addition to my age old addiction to roses; tulips! Unfortunately I don't own any tulip themed dresses or accessories, and those might be really heard to find indeed. But still, they are so lovely to have in ones home, when it's not quite spring yet, and you'd wish it was. <br />
<br />
P.P.S. Remember to check out the other LBC participants this week, too:<br />

<br />
So, <a href="http://www.hellocon.fi/" target="_blank">Hellocon</a> is now over and - a little inside joke, if you don't mind - I survived it! I didn't take that much pictures, because I wanted to concentrate on enjoying the event itself. I used only my <a href="https://instagram.com/maricaranette/" target="_blank">phonecamera</a>, because it fitted so cozily into the pocket of my Angelic Pretty dress and was therefore easy to whip out when needed. I will share photos of my outfits and our fashion show later on, but here's some pictures for you already. <br />
<br />
1. Ancelic Pretty's dress form with a beautiful outfit.<br />

<br />
2. Sweet and Tiny's table. I loved all these, they were so real-looking! It's too bad I don't wear cake jewelry that much anymore...<br />
<br />

<br />
3. They had really put a lot of effort to decorating the venue this year. There were balloons and banners, which were really pretty. Then there were these adorable little cups of popcorn which the guests could enjoy free of charge. What a wonderful idea!<br />
<br />

<br />
4. Here's what I got at the event; a book mark, an awesome bunny fascinator (I already forgot whom I bought it from), a bunny brooch and bow by Charming Girls, a super adorable pegasus phonesharm by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Illves" target="_blank">Illves</a>, Makis's and Asuka's message to Hellocon guests and of course their autographs.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
5. A closeup of the phonecharm. Her name is Stella (each Illves charachter has a name) and she looks really lovely with my Baby purse. I already regret not buying more of these cuties, I could have one for each of my purses... *-*<br />
<br />

<br />
The event was really great. The programs I organized went quite smoothly, and the other programs that I had time to see were really good, too. I did miss out quite a lot because of my own programs, so I'm considering the opportunity that next time I would go there as a guest only and not organize anything. At least right now it seems like a very good idea indeed. <br />
