Total false advertising, I've never listened to Mois Dix Mois! Sooo...the original theme for this post was "5 movies for lolitas". However I'm not much of a movie person at all! The ones I do like tend to be action movies or guilty pleasure movies that are so bad they're good, so not a lot of material to make a "movies for lolitas"-post with. So, I decided to switch from movies to music, it's close enough, right?? Because I did actually try to make a post about movies, I do have one recommendation, namely Murder on the Orient Express . It came out last year and a friend and I went to see it in cinema, and I liked the vintage feel of it a lot. It's by no means some kind of masterpiece but it's very enjoyable for a movie night! Apparently some people are irked that it doesn't do justice to the original book, but admittedly I didn't know it was a book adaptation when I went to see it so I can't give my opinion on that. No...

For my first food-related post, a recipe for an English 'pudding' (a steamed cake rather than a custard!) that I made a couple days ago. I'll be adding my own alterations in as sidenotes. Original recipe: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/784635/little-blueberry-puddings-with-lemon-curd-sauce Ingredients: Pudding : -140 grams (5/8 cup) soft butter -140 grams (5/8 cup) caster sugar (I used cane sugar instead) -3 eggs -140 grams (about a cup) self-raising flour -zest and juice of 2 lemons (I ended up using less juice, I think you could get away with just a single lemon) -120 grams (1 1/4 cups) blueberries Topping : -300 grams (1 1/5 cups) lemon curd -2 tsp cornflour Ingredients, ready to bake, plus highly recommended additional cup of tea. 1. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and put the kettle on. Butter 6 individual pudding basins or dariole moulds (I used a brownie tin for one big pudding, it worked out well too) and line the bottoms with cir...

Most people, when they get into lolita, gravitate towards either sweet or gothic lolita. I was a bit of an odd little duck in the group because I immediately started out with a love for oldschool, a style that at the time was hardly known. A few years later, oldschool has become more popular once more (I suspect as a countermovement against the insane peaks OTT classic has reached), yet a lot of people still can't recognize it. A friend of mine thought "oldschool" simply referred to anything black and white, another thought it meant nonprint dresses. So I thought I'd write a post about what oldschool is, what its defining features are, for anyone who is interested in this style but has a hard time grasping the subtle aspects that make a coord truly oldschool. At its core, oldschool is a substyle heavily based on what lolita looked like from 2000 to around 2006. There are hardly any prints, the ones that are there are appliques and don't usually wrap around t...

Hello there! Nice to see you, thank you for taking a look here! My name is AJ, and this little corner of the internet is mine to post my thoughts, interests and crazes in. I'm twenty years old as of now, I'm Dutch, and I'm a decently long-standing wearer of lolita fashion (five years as of 2018). The thing that got me started in the style? This blog , F Yeah Lolita. I stumbled upon it when I was a young teenager looking for gothic clothes, but I became bewitched by lolita instead. I spent whole evenings reading, pining over the pictures and planning out all the wardrobes I would one day have. I bought my first pieces, joined my local community, and became a tried-and-true lolita. And slowly but surely, F Yeah Lolita stopped updating. Caro's Instagram is still active, and many blogs do still update, but I have yet to find one with the same romantic outlook and interesting text based posts that F Yeah Lolita did. So, after a good two years, I asked myself "why not...
