Lolita Blog Carnival: week 7 "A day in the life of a Lolita"

I joined a facebook Lolita Fashion blog group recently. The whole idea is to decide on themed posts everyone can take part in. I found it to be a good idea to keep this blog running since I never know what to post. If you have a lolita blog, check it out. You might like it and want to join too. <3

This week's theme is "A day in the life of a Lolita".

I am posting this very late! It was supposed to be posted this friday/saturday but I'm doing so now. I'm sorry for that. 

Anyway I am also cheating. As you know i'm living a very exciting but also incredibly boring phase. I sleep (barely), eat, feed her, go to the doctor's office, etc. 

The day started at around 12pm. I did wake up before that but only for small periods of time.

I got up and took a bath. I was getting dressed and one of the local lolitas (Raquel) arrived because we had arranged to get ready together because she lives in a place where lolita isn't something easy to wear (according to her). When we were almost ready Vânia and fla arrived. We chatted a bit and eventually left. 

Oporto downtown is lovely, i really like walking around that area. 

The stunning local train station. There are incredible tiles inside. If you visit Oporto you have to go in!

We had to go from Oporto to the neighbor city, Vila Nova de Gaia. It's a 5~10min trip by metro but we still need to take the tickets and wait for it to arrive. 

When we got to the station we met up with Aléxia as well! 

Ticket machine. kuks and fla.

This is what our metro looks like. It goes underground but also above the earth so that means visitors can enjoy the scenery.

After arriving to the desired metro station we had to walk about 15minutes. We had a lot of fun just heading there, chatting and actually most people were pretty cool with the style for a change. We were surprised! I was a bit more surprised because I used to live there and just making a short walk to catch a bus or a metro would be torture sometimes. 

We finally arrived at our final destination. We went to visit an exhibit by hfm. He asked me to make a couple of shoots and I have posted about it before and after a while he finally convinced me to let him place the shots at a coffee shop.

Inside we found a ton of different tea and coffee options, there were so many that it was hard to pick something from the list! I ended up asking for a cappuccino and a chocolate treat. It looked really simple but yummy, like comfort food.

Food!

Isabel, Vânia, me, fla, Aléxia and Raquel. They're all super nice! 

 I found a book "twin". Aléxia was so so happy with her new Innocent World book pochette! I totally understand, i love their book bags (and book bags in general).

One of my favorite photos of the day.

Seeing as the next day was São Martinho the shop offered us roasted chestnuts. I adore them!

 After taking the usual meetup outfit shots and saying goodbye to the store employees and owner we finally got our coats on and left.

Fla called this shot: Inception. haha

We then left and went back to the metro where everyone parted ways. I went back with Raquel since she had to get dressed and pick up what she left at my place.

Since my baby girl was awake i picked her up so i could feed her again and we both waved bye bye to her. 

It was almost dinner time so we decided to go shopping at that time. My mother's birthday was the next day and she was coming over for lunch so I wanted to make something special for her.

We picked up everything we needed and left.

My baby girl's warm coat and diaper bag. I tried looking for something cute like an Angelic Pretty boston bag but failed to find one. This matches her kart though.

Before going grocery shopping we grabed a fast dinner because we were starving and also because its a bad idea to buy groceries in an empty stomach.

Our dinner, a simple pizza from Pizza Hut.

 We then spent some time buying everything we needed but finally managed to get back to our car. I was super tired and Mari's feeding time was growing closer too so I was looking forward to go back.

Groceries. We usually shop at continente. One of the local big department stores.

 When we got home and after feeding Mari I did what I usually do every night before bed, made some tea for me and my husband. I love tea!

I love all sort of tea but my favorite tea is "black tea".

I love having matching mugs even though we still don't have much stuff at home. I need to buy plates and the like.

And basically that was my day. It was a lot more exciting that my normal days now... this actually makes me sad. But my daughter's happiness is first in line so I shouldn't complain much. 

To finish I'll just share the day's outfit, with and without the coat. I decided to wear a normal coat, a rain coat instead of a lolita coat. I wanted to wear something as casual possible because I hadn't worn lolita in a while and I am still unconfortable in my skin (post delivery). I honestly can't wait to get my doctor's "ok" to the gym. I want to get fit asap.
