Dear deer

My new Lotta JSK!


Also I have a new wig:

Also, I have interesting things to blog about, but it won't happen right now. I have too much to do at university. Plus I write more for myself  these days, and one of these days I feel like it might result in a book I don't hate.

Tavelklänningar/Dresses with painting prints

Jag älskar tavelklänningar. Det är lite som om en naken brud sprang in på ett museum, hittade en tavla att skyla sig med och ba kom på: "Men guuuu va snyggt, den här kan jag ha som balklänning!".



I love dresses with painting prints. They sort of feel like as if some naked chick ran into a museum, found a painting to cover up with, and then goes "OMG so pretty, I can use this as an evening dress!" (This sounds a lot more fun in Swedish for some reason.)


Anyhow, that's why I'm going to buy one. Or several.

All pictures are from Juliette et Justine.

Tokyo Expo - I didn't do a lot , but the pictures are pretty

My outfit, hehe. I like wearing autumn dresses when it's still summer.


Elli and Emilia are cosplaying Little Twin Stars, in case anyone is wondering.








So, I went to Tokyo Expo, looked at things, met some people, took a lot of pictures. I really didn't do a lot there, and I'm sort of tired with the whole people-obsessed-with-japanese-pop-culture thing and the lolita subculture too, so I'm not sure why I went, haha. I guess 'cause I'm aquainted with a lot of people there?

However, these days I'd rather just wear whatever I wear, japanese or not, and be left the hell alone. Same way I've always felt about music. I like what I like and I don't feel that I need to belong to any subculture because of it. Organised stuff and closely knit cliques tend to freak me out anyhow.

(I would like to point out, again, that I don't mind labels. I just don't want to be friends with everyone who happens to fit the same labels as me, just because of the label. My friendships run deeper that that. Still have an upcoming post on labels lying around, haha. :3 )

Yes.

But the pictures turned out lovely. And the awesome people are awesome.

Uppcon 11

Last week, I started off summer by going to the convention for japanese popular culture in Uppsala called Uppcon with a few friends. We mostly ran around and giggled, but we also attended a lolita meet and saw a Versailles concert. Really fun, the audience was totally wild and at the end half of them had left their seats and tried crawling up on stage.

Anyhow, here are a few pictures.


My outfit the first day.

Okay, a lot of pictures.


I had to get home early on Saturday to sing at a birthday party togheter with my friend Elvira on the piano, as part of the entertainment for the evening. It was sort of sad to leave before everyone else did, but we had fun anyhow, and it only took a few minutes before people at the party stopped ignoring us and actually stood and listened. I love how some people honestly thought we were professionals. Perhaps we will be some day, who knows?

Cherry Blossoms and a Lolita Flea Market

On Saturday me and some friends went to look at the pretty cherry blossoms at Kungsträdgården and then have a fika.

I love how wikipedia seriously has an article on that.



A guy told me I looked like Amelie Poulain would if she was a gothic lolita. I thought that was sort of adorable.

Sunday I went to TokyoStops Lolita Flea Market. (Yes, there are a lot of themed flea markets in Sweden for some reason!)


This is what I bought:

Last weekend

Yeah, I know. "Hello, slow updater!" I had a busy week. I always have busy weeks.
Anyhow, last Saturday I went to a vintage fair with my dear friend Agnes, who unfortunatly dislikes to have her picture taken.

This is what I looked like then:







I found absolutely nothing to buy, unfortunatly. Except for things that costed like 2000 SEK and I can't really afford that right now. Afterwards, we went to Petite France and I ate the prettiest little macaron thingy I've ever seen.




On Sunday there was a lovely picnic with some lovely girls:
