Lolita

I've been so lazy today, spent half my time just surfing the net and sifting through etsy and ebay.
For a long time now I have been considering buying a Lolita style coat. There's plenty that I like but I've never been sure if I really wanted to make a purchase and then which one would I choose? So I moved to the idea of making my own, but sadly I can not find a pattern that is suitable. So I'm back to wanting to purchase one. After half a day of sifting I have managed to narrow down my choices slightly.

here are my finding in order of cheapest to most expensive:
Gothic Lolita Victorian Lace Dress Coat
$105 AU
Very very nice. So many beautiful details but its also very fancy and I fear I would look over dressed everywhere I go.
Can't decide which colour I like best.
Tailor made for perfect fit.


Gothic Lolita Handmade Wool Coat
$128AU
Simple elegant design but I am confused as to whether or not it has a cape attached and i think that the cuffs are fur.
Tailor made for perfect fit


Gothic Lolita Cosplay Handmade Black Elegant Coat
$135AU
I originally found this coat on a Japanese site call Fairy wish, thats where the cute photo shoot is from, but the exact same thing is on ebay.
Its cute and interesting, even has a little pouch attached.
Tailor made for perfect fit.


Gothic Lolita Coat Tailor-made Red
$136AU
Love the double breasted front and vibrant red colour. Not real keen on the cape but it gives the coat a beautiful hour glass shape. Currently checking to see if the cape is detachable.
Tailor-made for perfect fit


Gothic Lolita Cashmere Wool Coat Ear Hood Grey
$171AU
So cute and adorable, its even made from cashmere. More expensive that I'd like to spend but I love it, it even seems a bit more casual than the rest. The bow in front is a bit big though.
Also Tailor-made for a prefect fit.


Sadly most of these asian online stores don't have item descriptions or the best photos but their clothing is amazing. These are all handmade to your specific measurements, which is a huge plus for me as i have trouble finding coats that fit me well.

Which one do you like best?

Dreaming of...

These last few weeks have been pretty chaotic and January just seems like one big 'to do list'.  But i will get through it all and try to enjoy myself in the meantime. 

On friday i should get my QTAC results (whether I got into University or not). I have to start packing to move out of home for the first time. Im turning 21 and everyone else seems to be having their birthday to. Its getting hard to keep up, hopefully i dont forget anyone. And last but not least, I desperately want to get my Etsy shop on the road.


In amongst all the chaos I have been spending way to much time sitting around surfing the net drooling over things I cant afford and neglecting my blog. So I thought that I would share a couple of the objects I have been dreaming of.


 Lace trimed socks


Red coats


Avon perfume bottles


Bowler hats


Petticoats
