Hello everyone!

So its almost time and i'm really scared I have to admit. I know everything will probably work out fine but its all so... different and new and I feel so unprepared. But one is never prepared for motherhood anyway so i'll do what I have to do which is wait. Tomorrow i'll make my best to finish buying all that needs to be bought and get everything ready for the big day. <3 I've also been doing some minor house renovations and i'm almost done for now. ^_^;
The spanish lolita community (Lolita in Wonderland) asked me if i would mind answering some questions about motherhood and lolita and I was delighted to help out. I'll leave the link in case you'd like to read it.

Lolita in Wonderland Interview 

For some reason I really felt like proving to myself that i could still fit into my lolita clothes (seriously my belly is HUGE) and so i went with dressing up at home just for fun. I ended up pairing my sweetest lolita dress with very elegant and dark elements but i like the result. I hope you do too.

Outfit shot. Info: Ap dress and cuffs, j+j bolero, mmm socks, vm skirt, offbrand head acessories, shoes & gloves and triple fortune brooch.

I tried this on just because i was bored and i needed to relax a bit (and i cannot leave the house due to doctors orders) but the girls in my local comm seemed to really like it. I was surprised.

The comm also has this theme post cycle going on and this week's theme is shoes. We are supposed to do the following:
- show all our lolita shoes in a photo
- explain /show how we organize and store them
- talk about what type of shoes we like best
- tell people were we usually by shoes from
- talk about what shows we wish we could buy

It was a bit troublesome to take out all the shoes from the storage, especially now that I have finally found a way to keep them organized so i figured i'd post the result here too.

I got these storage boxes at IKEA of course. I love that every shoe has their own box and that they  are the same, it gives it such a clean look! I recommend these. It's around 8 euros for 4 boxes. 

Of course since boots don't fit into the boxes i also got this Billy unit from Ikea as well and a door to "hide" the shoes. It's a very good solution. 

All the shoes i usually wear with lolita. Brand and offbrand. If you'd like to know about any, just ask!

I got some books this week. Well the first was a Jane Austen 3 book pack for very cheap. I have read one of them before but the pack looks lovely and for that price i just got it. I also got the complete Haruki Murakami 1Q84 novel. I got the complete one in english for 17 euros when each of the books in portuguese costs 18 euros!

This sunday there's a small lolita gathering at my place. Of course since you never know what will happen i did make arrangements for if it ends up not being possible. I hope it goes well, i really want to hang out with the girls before my life changes so dramatically. I hope this doesn't sound too silly.

Anyway that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed reading and if there's anything you'd like me to talk about sometime, let me know. <3

LOVE always,
Jo
