Lolita Blog Carnival: Create A Flower Themed Coordinate

Hello, everyone!

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 Lolita Blog Carnival 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.)

You've already guessed it; my chosen flower for this coordinate is rose, 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 Lady Rose 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.

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.

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.

Askartelua: Ruusu ranteeseen

Hei taas!

Askartelin, tai siis tuskartelin (koska askartelu ilman tuskaa on teeskentelyä) itselleni tämän ruusukäsikorun pari päivää sitten. Ja tältä se siis näyttää:

Kiinnittäkää erityisesti huomiota tuohon solkeen! Se ei ole ihan ruusu, vaan ennemminkin lilja, mutta tajuttoman kaunis kuitenkin. Siskoni huomautti, että ei kukaan näe sitä ranteeni alapuolelta - mutta minä itse tiedän, että se on siellä, ja yksityiskohdat ovat minulle niin tärkeitä! :D

Loppuun kuva siitä, miltä koru näyttää kädessä. Siitä tuli juuri sellainen, kuin tahdoinkin; ranteessa "kasvaa" iso ruusu. Olisin halunnut tällaisen korun tuohon edelliseen asuuni (ks. alempi postaus), mutta sitä ei ollut. No, nyt on!

Translation: I made this rose bracelet for myself. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Pay attention to that lock, isn't it beautiful? Though it's not quite a rose, but more like a lily, I still think it looks adorable. My sister said that no one will see it, as it is under my wrist, but I know it's there - that kind of tiny details are so important to me. :D

Ruusuilla tanssimista

Aloin huvikseni investoida, että montakos hiusruusua minulla oikeastaan onkaan. Määrä osoittautui aika muhkeaksi - mistään ei toki huomaa, että ruusu on lempikukkani... :D

Tässä teille vielä kuvatodistetta inventaariostani:

Pieni ja turha postaus on pieni ja turha, vai mites se menikään? Ihanaa, aurinkoista viikonloppua teille kaikille! ♥

Translation: I wanted to check, how many rose corcages I actually have. Well, quite many, as the picture proves. No one would ever guess that rose is my favorite flower, right? I hope you all have a lovely, sunny week end! ♥
