Lolita Survival Guide: Summer

Lolita Fashion emphasizes layering at its core, so it should come as no surprise that it becomes challenging to enjoy the frills when the temperature and/or humidity start to climb. Learning to survive heat while dressed to the nines is essential to surviving summer as a Lolita.

January 2025 : Wardobe Post

It's January, so it is once again time to document my wardrobe for posterity. I honestly don't care if anyone else views it, I use these posts as a way to keep an eye on what I own and keep track of trends in my own habits.

Lolita History : Rocking Horse Shoes

Rocking horse shoes, commonly referred to as RHS, are iconic within the Lolita fashion community. They were designed with the Vivienne Westwood's "Mini-Crini" line and by no means have a Lolita-specific history, but they nonetheless have come to represent a bygone era within our fashion.

Let's look at their origins, and later explore why they have come to be so iconic in our tiny, insular fashion community around the world.

Wardrobe Analysis: Brand Prevalence

 Last week I saw that some Lolitas were making charts showing how much of their wardrobe was made up of certain branded pieces. I'm always interested in examining my choices and identifying trends so I made a few charts of my own wardrobe brand make-up. I've recently started a purge and was removing a lot of items from my wardrobe with the intent to sell them on lacemarket so I didn't include any items I am currently listing for sale.

January 2023 - Wardrobe Post

I have a bunch of posts in my drafts folder that I've been poking at over the past year, but just didn't have the brain to finish. Maybe I'll get to them this year 😅

My friend gifted me a mannequin so I was compelled to re-do my wardrobe post with my pieces on the dress form this year. The form is considerably smaller than me so some of my larger pieces hang on her unflatteringly but it is easier to dress a mannequin for photographs than it is to carefully lay a garment out on a bed or the floor and then gain a perfect bird's-eye angle of it for documenting.
