International Lolita Day 2013

Good afternoon, lords and ladies!

Last Sunday was, if I'm not terribly mistaken, International Lolita Day! I just didn't remember it at the time, but happened to still wear lolita. I think this might be my first time ever actually wearing lolita on ILD. All the previous times, during all these years I've missed ILD - I've been at work, or ill, or else too busy to wear anything special. But now I finally made it, yay! :D

My outfit was quite casual, and I didn't do anything to my hair either, because I didn't sleep well the previous night and was feeling lazy. But I love this unicorn dress so much, I want to wear it all the time... ♥

Outfit details:
Dress - handmade by Mimi
Blouse, beret, flowers - H&M
Purse, shoes - second hand

Last Sunday was also the Ofelia market. I only bought this Spring/Summer hat.

P.S. Don't forget to participate in my Christmas giveaway! It closes on the 14th of December.

My Purchases from Ofelia Market

As I promised, here are the pictures of the things I bought at Ofelia Market.

Let's start with my best find - this lovely Juliette & Justine dress. I really like the soft colours of this dress, and the flower pattern, of course. I have always been nuts about flower patterns, especially roses are my favorites, but I like other flowers too.

This dress has a gorgeous bow detail, and there are little flowers embroidered on the bow. I really love the embroidery, it's so delicate and adds texture to the dress. (I know see that my camera has added some strange stripes on the left side of this picture - ignore those, they are not real. o_O)

And here are my other, smaller findings.  A hairband made of venice lace, "Keep calm and be a unicorn" hair pin from Essin maailma, and earrings made of Swarowski crystals and real silver. It's hard to see the earrings from the picture because they are transparent, but they are there. :D

You may clik the pictures to see the bigger versions. :)

Keep Calm And Be a Unicorn

Today was once again time for Ofelia market. Many of my loli friends were there, it was nice to meet them - and I even made one new friend! :) I'll post the things I bought at Ofelia later on, because this post is enormous picture spam as it is.

So, Mimi made us these beautiful "Unicornia Regalia" dresses and today we wore them the first time ever. The inspiration for these dresses comes from the Tudor times, and of course from the famous unicorn tapestry made during the Medieval times.

The shoulder straps have golden embroidery on them, and the bodice is made of dark blue velvet with sweet heart neckline.

And of course the print on the hem is just divine. Unicorns... *-* 

We bought matching unicorn horns at Ofelia from the ever so lovely Essin maailma. 

And in the end, couple of pictures with Mimi! We were twinning. ♥

Our outfits:

P.S. Yes, I have to share this thought with you: all day long I felt like I was a war ship, sailing forward in my heavy, enourmous, too many petticoats. Seriously, my back is aching after wearing those! It was a funny feeling, I've never felt like a war ship before. x)
