Relaxed saturday

Hello again,

Nothing much has changed since my last post and we're all doing well. I have been getting some pressure from people who shouldn't even be able to do so in any way anymore but its still stressing me out. I know that in reality there's not much they can do to harm me but it still annoyed me and has made me strongly consider getting into some things I was planning to get into later.

I got some more things in the mail after my last post. I love everything but not everything has loved me back:

Both pairs are from Victorian Maiden, from the victorian queen collection. I really wanted the burgundy pair but these were all i could find. I really loved the blue pair the most but when it arrived i realised it doesn't match anything i own because its more purple than blue. I'll eventually find something though.
I was looking forward for the Angelic Pretty Dream Fantasy set! I really loved all the Angelic Pretty special sets this year to be honest, i think they were fantastic. What wasn't fantastic was finding out that the special set jsks were not fully shirred in the back unless they came in the coat set which this didn't. So It doesn't zip up on me. I still took a photo or two in it covering the gap with a cardigan but I obviously cannot keep it. I love it so much, I am really sad. (it came with the set's socks and headbow and everything seems brand new).
I saw this hat at a local store and fell in love. I don't wear pink that much but I could not help myself. I love hats in general and i really like lolita coords with vintage hats but we don't have a big hat culture in my country so if one does find a vintage hat for sale they tend to be very pricey. Anyway this would look so cute on my friend Lucy!
I was so relieved when i tried this on and it fit well, i really love the colors of this dress and I am a big fan of florals too. It's perfect, i love everything about this Innocent World dress. <3

Other than clothes I also ordered some mooks. I ordered the last Gothic & Lolita Bible (now i'm missing the one released now), the Angelic Pretty mook and the Muchacha box. They all arrived as well!
I totally recommend them all. The bible is one of those number in which i loved almost everything, the Ap mook has great quality paper and the sugary carnival tote that comes with it is huge, durable and handy and the Muchacha box is just adorable. The bag is disappointing (too small for me) but the box is fantastic nonetheless. 
I only have two outfits to share with you this time. I might wear something tomorrow depending on how busy I end up being. We'll see!
I hope you like these:




Outfit info: vintage hat, ap dress, mam cardi, meta socks, antenna shoes and offbrand jewelry.



Outfit info: Moitié dress, head dress, head bow, choker; victorian maiden tights; offbrand jewelry and shoes (primark)

Also you can see where my doll house is and where I store all my bibles and the like. I really like this little corner of my place. It's the entrance for my bedroom and its also where I have that iron door i love so much.

I've also been trying to be responsible with my income because I really want to make 3 trips this year so I won't buy anything for a while now. I even passed on something i really wanted from Innocent World because of that.
I am waiting on some taobao things (first time ordering!) and another item or two but then that's it.
What about you guys? What are you expecting/what did you get recently?

I am trying to catch up on movie watching lately. Since my daughter was born I haven't been able to go to the movies and I probably won't be able to do so for a while so I've been watching them at home. I watched the Oscar ceremony (loved it) and after realising i didn't watch anything in the entire event I decided to do so afterwards. After this resolutiong I've watched the following:
Lés Miserables, Lincoln, Argo, Silver Linings Playbook, Looper, Detachment, This means war, Underworld: awakening, Zero dark thirty... quite a few.
I am now going to watch "the master".

Talk to you soon!
Jo

  1. Love the hat! Is it vintage? I wear hats (mostly cloche, 20's style) too and some people come up to me and say how much they like it :) I also wear hats in the summer as I burn/freckle very easily.
    It's a shame that we don't have a hat culture in Portugal. In most English speaking countries, like in Canada, if you don't wear a hat or at least a fascinator to a wedding it's a faux pas, here in Portugal everyone stares at my mother for coordinating her hat and dress. *sigh*

    1. Olá Cristina!
      Bem eu sinceramente nao sei se é vintage mesmo ou não, estava numa loja que se diz de artigos vintage mas ambas sabemos o que isso significa (ou não significa). Parecia muito "novo"para ser vintage.

      É pena mesmo, às vezes basta uma boina e já parece que nunca viram quando vou na rua. XD
      Mas isso nem é só com os chapeus. Uns dois anos atrás acho eu... fui a uma inauguraçao de uma exposiçao de pintura e vesti algo elegante claro. Quando la estava ficou TUDO a olhar para mim, já sei que estava se calhar um bocado elegante demais mas o resto das pessoas estava todo de jeans como de forma brejeira (porque jeans podem ser elegantes tb).
      Oh well.

  2. You look pretty as always! :) I loove the floral IW dress, the colourway is really beautiful. I haven't bought Lolita clothes in a long while. I just can't afford them right now ;_; I'm doing a super expensive education.

    1. Aww thanks! I want to get my drivers licence and apply for my masters soon too so I suspect not many more lolita pieces will be bought then. But at the same time I don't have a lot more time to wear lolita (turning 30 this year) so I want to make the best of the next years.
      I wish everything goes well for you! <3

    1. Thank you Ni! I actually already wore the iw dress but in a very casual way to walk around town and visit some art galeries the other day. I want to take decent shots of me in it in the near future though. <3
      I'm really happy to hear you like both outfits, i'm a bit sad i cannot wear that ap dress more, there's so many ways it could be coordinated in and its so original and cute. I am really sad.
      Kisses!
