Some Lolita Coordinates and... Yogurt and... Free Mug!

I felt like doing some spontaneous blogging today. Missing the days of LiveJournal where my friends and I used to write about whatever came to our minds. 

I decided to make a coordinate using my Chelsea skirt from Innocent World the other day. I really have been getting a lot of use out of this old school Angelic Pretty headbow. It's the one that I bought really stained, it was marked as a "garbage" item. I took it apart and did a heavy duty cleaning on. Not only did I get to learn some things about how Angelic Pretty constructs headbows but now I have this hair accessory that I'm really enjoying! I put a lot of time into rehabilitating it but it turns out it was worth it :D
~btw, is headbow a single word? Spellchecker tells me it's not, but I think it should be.
Taylor stands with hands behind head in a lolita coordinate with a skirt with cookies and bunnies on it. She's wearing heels and a bolero. There's a bag on the ground next to her.
Coordinate rundown:
Skirt, socks, shoes, bag: Innocent World
Blouse: Emily Temple Cute
Bolero: Bodyline
Headbow: Angelic Pretty

And of course, here's the first coordinate I wore with my new Angelic Pretty Toy Parade OP. I love this print! Ahhhh!!
Taylor is wearing a lolita coordinate with the Toy Parade one piece dress from Angelic Pretty. It has a collar and short puffy sleeves. The dress shows all sorts of toys in pastel colours. She's wearing matching socks, a pair of bear ears and golden shoes. She's also wearing big rose gold framed glasses.
Coordinate rundown:
Everything is Angelic Pretty! :o

Here's another coordinate I've planned for Toy Parade using a mint x pint combo:
A coordinate collage for the Toy Parade one piece dress including stock images of the melody toys ring, a headbow, a pink plastic bow necklace, tea party shoes, a square angelic pretty bag that came with a lucky pack and white and mint socks with some polka dots on them. There are wristcuffs with a bow and heart charm.
Coordinate rundown:
Headbow: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Everything else: Angelic Pretty 

As much as I like shopping for lolita, I really don't need to buy anything, so coordinate planning like this feels like a way to shop my own wardrobe. Reduces the risk of temptation. Actually, I just bought the socks in the above Toy Parade coordinate collage :x They're mint! I did need a mint pair of socks!
Okay, and here's another coordinate idea using my Bambi underbust jumperskirt from Innocent World:
Heh, it looks kind of funny with the socks and shoes like that.
A coordinate with the bambi underbust jsk from Innocent World, designed to look like a worn coordinate. There's the milk blouse underneath, socks, socks, a lotta necklace (lotta is a deer), a satin headbow and a big bag with a bow on it.
Coordinate rundown:
Dress, socks, bag, headbow, necklace: Innocent World
Blouse: Milk
Shoes: Offbrand



IN OTHER NEWS:
I made my own yogurt using soymilk and cashews and some leftover store bought yogurt. It was surprisingly easy! There's some rhubarb apple sauce on top. I ate it and didn't die! Hooray!
Holding a glass of yogurt with some rhubarb apple jam on top in front of a bunch of plants in the background.

Observe this cool mug someone left downstairs a while ago. People leave things they don't want in our lobby all the time and there are some cool finds. Including clothes. Nothing lolita of course, aha. Sometimes, I get really bad munchies so I try to drink herbal tea to help. Doesn't always work though T_T

Holding a mug with blue and white vertical stripes. There is a band of white polkadots on a blue background along the rim. There are flowers all over the mug on top of the stripes and polka dots.


I also started getting really into Avril Lavigne's old clothing line, Abbey Dawn. I found a shop on eBay selling a bunch of old leftover stuff that never sold from years and years ago. It's helped me to get out of the funk I was in with my non-lolita clothing. I was feeling... really uninspired and unhappy with my clothes. I guess I'm having a bit of a scene revival.

Toy Parade!

I bought the Toy Parade one piece in white :x
I saw it for a decent price on Yahoo Auctions. I actually thought that maybe my shopping service didn't actually bid on it at first because the price never changed! But they did bid on it. We were the only bidder. 

The toy parade one piece dress. It is the white colourway and has a big bow in the centre. It has short puff sleeves and a Peter-pan collar. There is lace along the bottom of the skirt.
I also bought these two hair accessories to go with it:
A stock image of a rectangle headdress with rabbit ears attached to it.A stock image of a pair of bear ears with a tag on them.


I thought I'd never buy this dress because the print is so ... childish, I guess. 

An image of the print from Toy Parade. Lots of toys including stuffed animals, blocks and balls are in the print. It comes in four colourways.
I never realized there's no blue in this print!

I also bought a new pair of gold Tea Party shoes as well from Angelic Pretty. 

Here is a potential coordinate I came up with:

A collage of different stock items. There is the bear ear headband and dress pictures from above. In addition there is a rectangular purse with a bow on it, a pair of wrist cuffs with bows and heart charms, a pair of tea party shoes in gold, a pair of striped knee high socks with a rocking horse and balloons on them. There are also two glittery pins, one of a stuffed bunny and another of a stuffed bear.


Today, I saw a lady with a big bubble wand standing on a big rock in a park releasing all these perfect bubbles. They were really beautiful in the sunlight. Rainbow colours. Makes me want to get Toy Fantasy!

***I haven't posted in a while because I was pretty sick the past few months but I am feeling better now. I tried to make a post about it but deleted it shortly after, sorry to anyone that read it.
