Lolita Fashion

Lolita is one of the most popular fashion trends from Japan that is influenced by England's Victorian era and fashion that emerged from the 1830's to the 1900's. The clothing can vary from gothic to classic or sweet. Also this fashion trend derives from the Rococo period which was an exuberant decorative style from the 18th century. Can't forget to mention that Lolita is another sub-culture of the Harajuku Fashion style.


Hair/Hairstyles:

• bonnets
• hair bows
• sometimes wigs

Makeup consists of:

• often pale makeup
• soft pink/rosy cheeks
• soft pink lips or lipgloss
• pastel color eyeshadow
• fake eyelashes

Outfits:

• big skirts made with petticoats or crinoline
• blouse (long sleeve or short)
• big dresses (knee length) 
• knee socks, ankle socks or tights
• high heels or flat shoes with bows
• jump skirts

Lolita fashion, as we can see is influenced from the western fashion culture. It's said that some of the inspiration for this trend comes from the Alice in Wonderland novel, Marie Antoinette from the Rococo era, and The Rose of Versailles.

Also, just like in many other Japanese Fashion styles, Lolita is said to be another way of escaping the rules from society that forces everyone to dress and act a certain way according to age, gender and even economical status. The way for young people to rebel from the "normal" in this case is by wearing a more innocent look that is also influenced by western fashion and also a fantasy style fashion.

Different from other styles like Gyaru, Lolitas started creating their own outfits by hand, or DIY (Do-it-Yourself). So we can definitely see that people from any social status would participate in this fashion trend, they would also get them second hand. But as the years passed, more stores started selling this type of clothing and the DIY side of the Lolita became less popular. Still, this is a way to let creativity run free and make something unique!

More Subscription Boxes!

Who doesn't enjoy receiving gifts and goodies? Well, of course we all do! And you may have already heard about subscription boxes before. In case you haven't, let me explain. Subscription boxes are goodies boxes that you can subscribe to online to receive in the mail. There are many kinds of subscription boxes, ranging from electronics, makeup, lingerie, and even candy or snacks! I made a post a while ago where I shared two different ones, if you want to check them out, click here!


Love With Food:
Starting at $7.99 a month.

Love With Food offers you seven or more different snacks each month. The best of all, they find natural, non-GMO and organic snacks! That means:

• No artificial flavors or coloring
• No trans fats
• No hydrogenated oils
• No high fructose corn syrup

And even more important, a portion of the sales goes to help fight childhood hunger in America along organizations like Feeding America and The Global Food Banking Network. 

You can subscribe for monthly boxes, and after you try some of their snacks, if you would like to purchase more of a certain one, you can get it at their store as well and even redeem your points! With every purchase of a subscription box or a snack from their store, they will give one meal to a hungry child.

This post contains links to subscription boxes websites. This post is NOT sponsored by any of the companies. I made this post simply to share what I found with all of you, so you will find some referral links (if they're available of course). I DO NOT own any of these companies or subscription boxes services. If any of the owners or companies mentioned in this post would like to sponsor me, I will gladly do so. Message me at meragflores@gmail.com with any questions or info. If you also would like me to remove your website from this link, let me know and I will do so as well.

This beautiful fashion style consists of a princess aesthetic basically, very close to himegyaru but a bit less complicated and as the same name describes, a more casual way.  A sweet and soft look, super girly and comfortable.
