Hellocon 2016 outfit & purchases

Hello, everyone!

I'm trying to get back on track with blogging - and I do have lots of material, too! :'D

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.

My theme for the outfit was crazy bunny lady à la crazy bunny lady. 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! 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...

My purchases

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. 

So, in Hellocon I bought

• A beautiful Twin Flower dress, handmade of recycled materials 
• Baby's classical heart bag which I have been drooling over ever since I started dressing in lolita fashion a little over decade ago 
• Innocent World's bolero - another thing I've wanted for a very long time 
• Miss Danger Shop's bunny brooch/headdress (what did I say about hoarding bunny stuff?!) and
• Illves's adorable chubbycorn brooch. 

And in the end, some close ups.

La vie en rose

Happy Birthday, Dear Kata

Yesterday was Kata's birthday party, held loli style. A perfect opportunity for all of us to get dolled up!

My inspiration for this outfit came from the movie Coco Chanel which I watched a little while ago. My original plan was to wear this Angelic Pretty dress like a loli version of the famous little black dress, but I ended up looking far more sweet than planned. (It's the bigtails - but I didn't want to wear my hair in a bun, because I just did that on previous day.) Parasol and purse are Baby, headbow Innocent World, pearls Chocomint and shoes Stylesnob.

These shoes look so lovely, but they kill my feet. x_x "Suffering is the Mother of all beauty", it truly is in this case.

Kata said she had spent hours baking! And you could really see (and taste) that! Every food was so delocious, and they even looked cute! My favorites were the bunny cookies and star cupcakes. :D

And in the end, have some soap bubbles.

Happy birthday, Kata! ♥

International Meetup

Today we had a little meetup here in Helsinki, organized by Laura and Kata, for our international guest; Elena, a lovely lolita from Russian Federation. It was really exiting to meet a foreign loli! Elena seems to be very sweet girl. Laura and Kata gave a Moomin mug to Elena, I think that was just wonderful idea!

Here's a picture of all of us: Laura, Mimi, Elena, Laura, me, Susanna and Kata.

This was my first time to wear my new Innocent World dress. I simply adore this! It's made of charmeuse, and it's really soft and light. And the best part comes here; the wrinkles from this dress actually disappeared during the night it hung on the hengar, no ironing done whatsoever! The purse is Baby, shoes Minna Parikka and the necklace is Chocomint.

This dress has couple of really lovely details, like this bow on the back side and the matching belt.

And here's closeup of my accessories (and face, of course).

P.S. I'm using a bigger picture size now - do you think it's better this way? :3

Something small and shiny...

... a Chocomint star clip, that is. When I saw this, I immidiately thought it might go well with a photoshoot outfit I'm planning. If everything goes well, you'll see the results quite soon! ♥

On the side note, I never thought I'd say this, but I rather wake up at 02.00 in the morning than at 08.00 - and get home early. Waking up at 02.00 is surprisingly easy. ^__^
