2014

2014 was the year I found home.

It's hard to put feelings into words, so I'll try representing them with images. These past six months of no updates to the blog have one reason: I was, probably, living too much.

And of that, I have no regrets.

If my 2014 could be grasped and made into snapshots, it would look a bit like this...

 First time wearing Lolita out in the streets of Harajuku.

Harajuku food & shopping. Special mention: Ten kara PURA! (Heavenly Tempura from Tendon Tenya)

And I finally let it go on Halloween, lol. 

Finally I got to dress however the @#$% I wanted without anyone staring or screaming profanities at me. 

Design Festa. The most incredible event I've ever seen.

I suddenly lost a lot of weight. But no worries, 'cause it's all back now LOL 

Ah, now I understand how I got the weight back HAHAHA

Made friends more important than life.

And I went to Disney Sea!

My Christmas dinner was unexpected.

Yet my Christmas spirit, untainted.

I prayed.

... and love answered.

And finally, on the 1st day of 2015, I visited a shrine to offer my first respects of the year.

2015, you have some pretty high standards to follow.

Thank you for reading! Let's rush into 2015 together!

Tea Party @ Pani!

Long overdue post. I have no idea how long ago this was (maybe about a month ago??)

We had a visit, a lovely girl from Chile called Camila! So the local community organized a quick get-together.

It was quite a rainy/dark day so not the best day for pictures - but of course we took them anyway! haha

Hace mil que les debo este post. Más o menos un mes?? Agh! Perdón!

Tuvimos una visita, una chica amorosa que vino de Chile llamada Camila. Así que la comunidad local organizó una juntada rápida.

El día estaba bastante oscuro y lluvioso pero eso no nos frenó de sacarnos muchas fotos! jaja

My coordinate / make-up for the day! I was wearing:

Mi coordinado y maquillaje del día! Llevaba puesto:

HAIR BOW: My Melody (Sanrio)

SHIRT: Vintage (actually my grandma's! I think it was from the sixties?)

SKIRT: My Augustine's Cloé Skirt

CARDIGAN: Gap Kids

SOCKS: Madame Chocolat Barcelona

SHOES: Liz Lisa

And let's fast-forward to our afternoon at Pani! Actually I had big expectations about this place, because I remembered the food to be delicious. But it turned out everything was a bit... uhm... stale HAHA. Doesn't matter, still had a wonderful time. The place is gorgeous though!

Y vayamos directo a nuestra tarde en Pani! La verdad tenía grandes expectativas de este lugar, porque además recordaba que era delicioso (ya había ido una vez). Pero resultó ser que toda la comida estaba un poco... ehm... dura. No pasa nada, igual nos divertimos! Y el lugar es realmente muy bello a pesar de todo!

The waffle was the only salvageable thing. El waffle era lo único rescatable.

Group shot! I love this one because you can finally see the black bows on my socks. I thought the outfit was unbalanced without them but unfortunately they didn't show up in many photos hahaha.

Foto grupal! Me encanta esta porque se notan los moñitos negros de mis medias, que sin eso mi coordinado no tenía ningún sentido y el color negro no estaba balanceado. Lástima que en la mayoría de fotos ni se ven por el ángulo jajaja.

I hope you enjoyed this quick post! <3 Espero que hayan disfrutado este post rapidito <3

Winter Loliday 2014 - Chinatown | Loliday de Invierno 2014 - Barrio Chino

Happy International Lolita Day, fellow lolitas and boystylers!

(well, belated anyway, as it landed on Saturday)

I wanted to talk about my Loliday! We went to a meet-up in Chinatown with a local community.

Feliz Día Internacional del Lolita, queridos lolitas y boystylers!

(bueno, poco atrasado, porque fue el sábado)

Quiero contarles del Loliday! Fuimos a una TP en el Barrio Chino con una comunidad local.

The day was chilly and rainy. A typical fall-almost-winter day. Made it sad to see all the other pics from Lolitas around the world enjoying spring-almost-summer! lol

My coord that day was pinker than pink, while the weather was grayer than gray:

Beret: H&M

Blouse: Abercrombie & Fitch

Sweater: Curl by Sammy Duval 

JSK: Liz Lisa 

Socks: Offbrand

Shoes: an tai na

Accessories: Macy's, Vintage, Madame Chocolat Barcelona, Como quieres que te quiera, offbrand.

We went to a Spanish Arts museum, Museo de Arte Español Enrique Larreta, which used to be a house, close by my city's Chinatown. It had a few works from a contemporary artist (Vicky Graglia), and a Spanish Baroque collection assembled by Enrique Larreta, the house's former owner.

While the modern works of art were interesting, the Baroque collection was simply stunning.

I really liked this picture of candid Flor looking at the church <3

Tons of religious imagery. What a beautiful museum this is! Sadly, it also had some Gardens that were closed off because of the rain :(

Up next was checking out the shops in Chinatown.

Clothing store selfie! This particular store was Korean, filled with BB Creams and circle lenses. So tempting but I had no moneyyyyy ;O;

We had lunch, lots of spring rolls and chow fan <3

I had to leave somewhat early, but I made up for lost time taking lots of pictures! Sadly I don't think I got to photograph everyone, though u_u

Lovely Flor, fully color-coordinated in red and black <3

Candid and posing Emilia! So cute!

Make-up artist Caewin in lovely black and white <3

Our lovely host looking as elegant as ever, Diana! <3

Doll and her beautiful braided hair! Love the blue in this outfit.

Sakura, who also took a picture of me! Thank you! <3

Noelia in black and pops of flowers <3

Ever-classy Clarissa and the two versions of her outfit! haha <3

Aaaand some selfies back home, before taking my Lolita clothes off and moving on to the rest of my Saturday plans:

Thanks to the "Laberinto de Rosas" community for a wonderful Loliday! I hope you guys enjoy the pictures!

Muchas gracias a la comunidad Laberinto de Rosas por un bello Loliday! Espero que disfruten de las fotos! (y perdón, pero dejo la traducción al español para otro momento, así no las hago esperar más por las fotitos! XD)
