Instagram photo diary of the month: May&June

Due to my hiatus I missed to share my Instagram uploads in May. So I will share pictures of both months in this post.

On a lovely spring day in May I blew some bubbles.

I doodled some of my Lolita outfits.

Me and my friends had matching Smoothies in Shoujo colours :D

Since I joined Instagram I started to collect pics of my shoes^^

And last but not least my new bag. Normally I don't buy replicas anymore but this time I couldn't resist. The cookie shape is just too cute <3 

Anyway, did you guys notice that it's now possible to upload videos on Instagram? My mobile phone can't display them, so I will stay with sharing pics ^^

Have a nice day,

A visit to the Linzer Fleemarket // LALOAM of June

On Saturday Medoly, Yukii and me went to the Fleemarket here in Linz. Rather spontaneously we decided to wear Lolita.

This was my outfit:
Sorry for the dark pics :/

I did a simple Country-Sweet coord ~

Hat: C&A

Blouse and JSK: White Moon//Taobao

Ankle Socks: sockdreams.com

Shoes: an*tai*na 

And this our little group:

Medoly and Yukii started a youtube channel lately. You can view it here. :3

The people at the fleemarket really loved us. At every stand we visited we got nice compliments and people were very interested in what we are wearing and so on ~  We also got some things for free. A man gave us free earrings and the bunny toy in the pic above was a present from a nice lady. 

So sweet <3 

It was a great day and I really enjoyed wearing Lolita again after this break.

Do you like going to the fleemarket?

See you,

A healthy Lolita lifestyle

Hello chocolate- lovers ♡

Somewhere deep down in my blog in this post I promise to do a post on how to live healthy. I remember I was inspired by this tumblr blog back then and wanted to do something similar.
I'm maybe not an expert when it comes to living healthy, as I am a big sweet-tooth, but I promised to write this and so I will do now :)

First I want to say that eating healthy doesn't mean to eat nothing. Eating nothing is actually quite unhealthy.
A good diet is well-balanced, full of healthy food prepared in your own kitchen <3
I also want to state that living healthy doesn't mean you are not allowed to eat anything unhealthy ever again. Eating a cake or something once in a while is perfectly fine!

source

Which food is good for you depends on multiple factors. Your profession, your genes, your activity..to name only a few. However there are of course a few guidelines on what is healthy in general, like avoid too much sugar, salt, fat..
It's also very important how you present your food. Especially as a Lolita I like my food to look nice and cute. I recommend bento boxes, molds and cute tableware <3

source

The right food isn't the only key to a healthy lifestyle. Drinking also has major role. Water and tea, especially green tea, are your best friends.
And of course a healthy life also encompasses exercising and sports. In this post I mentioned some sports a Lolita might like.

Remember that every step you are doing in the direction of living healthy is for yourself. I try to live healthy myself and it always makes me feel beautiful and gives me energy <3
If you want to do further researches on what is healthy and what not google is your friend.
I hope this post was a little useful for you.

Do you have any health tips?

Hello my lovely dolls ♡

I passed my final exams ♡  I'm so happy that all the studying is over and I finally can come back to blogging. I plan to catch up with some blog promises I gave you and never kept in the next few posts. I also look forward to many Conventions and Meet ups during summer so expect blog-posts about these.

For today I only want to tell you that I updated this post on my an*tai*na shoe order. Please read it! I will be back with a proper post soon :)

Have a nice day,

Short hiatus announcement

Hello dolls ♡

I sadly have to announce that I can't be active on my blog for the next few weeks. I'm doing my final exams soon and studying for them takes all my time and creativity. It will all be over on the 19th of June and I hope I can be active soon again!

Until then, 

have a good time!

Daisy hairpiece tutorial

Hello dolls ♡

With this post it is official, I'm addicted to flowery headaccesoires!
This time I will show you how to make this:

It's super easy and only takes a few minutes.

You will need:

Flowers of your choice

Pearls of your choice

Satin ribbon of your choice

Step #1 (optional): Arrange the flowers and the pearls on the ribbon to check how it will look. I did this because I tried out different colours of pearls. For me it looked best with the green ones.

Step #2: Using a hat glue gun attach one piece after the other

Take your time and be careful with the hot glue gun :)

And you are done :)

I especially love how this looks with a bun:

I hope you enjoyed this easy and quick tutorial :)

If you decide to make your own send me a picture!

~ Kawaii Backpacks ~

Hello dolls ♡

Today I want to share my latest love when it comes to bags -backpacks!

I know what you think, "how can something like a backpack be cute?" And let me tell you, there are tons of cute backpacks out there.

source

I bought my backpack at claire's. It's yellow and has roses printed on. I bought it during a sale, so it isn't in the onlineshop anymore. However, this striped one is also quite lovely. 

source

I found these cuties on wanelo.com. Click 'source' to visit the site where they can be bought. 

source

This one seems to be from an ebay shop. Again click 'source' to visit the shop. 

Advantages of backpacks compared to bags is that they offer more space and are healthier for your back when you carry them around. 

You can find a lovely backpack in jewellery and bag shops or on the Internet. Try to find them on pages like taobao or ebay. 

What's your opinion about backpacks?

Leave a comment to tell me ♡

See ya,
