As much as I love SanguisCity.com, and having all my posts mashed together, having Lolita Fashion, random vampire films and SC comic specific stuff all in one blog seems a bit random.

SO, I made a new blog specifically for my Gothic Lolita posts;

http://gothlolitafun.blogspot.com/

“Goths Just Wanna Have Fun”!

Sanguis City will still be updated with comic news, and any vampire movies/books/series I fancy talking about!

Sanguis City for Vampires
Goth Loli Fun for lolita fashion

Just for simplicity

“You can learn a lot of things from the flowers,
for especially in the month of June.
There’s a wealth of happiness and romance,
all in the golden afternoon. …”

And it IS June. And very, very warm. Infact, it’s what a lot of people would call “beach weather”!
Now, as boring as it may be I’m a typical little goth when it comes to summer. I don’t like the bright sunlight in my eyes, and I get heat rash on my legs and faint easily when it’s too hot.
Beaches are a nightmare, too much sand and saltwater stinging your skin.
I don’t even like ice cream.

infact, I might be the Grinch of summer.

A key issue for Lolita in summer is swimsuits. We spend the rest of the year trussed up, in blouses and petticoats and proper headwear. To suddenly strip down to something the size of MODERN underwear, and wear it in public… is a frightful idea.
Especially for those of us who aren’t body-confident (lolita or not).

Brands do make swimming suits occasionally. Baby the Stars Shine Bright and Metamorphose have both made swimwear. But they’re usually just bikinis with one of the brands prints on it.
Yes, they’re adoreable. And perfect if you have the money and confidence for them! (If I did, I would!)

But most of us don’t.

Victorian swimwear was different. Impractical, probably. But much cuter, and more modest.

Look at that, with the little mop-cap and skirt!

If I could get a swimsuit like that, maybe I’d go swimming just to get the chance to wear it!
(Even the stripey gentlemans swimsuit would do. A girl-sized replica of that would be so cute)

So far, I’ve found replica Victorian swimwear on “http://www.ladiesemporium.com” to be the cutest and most affordable.
Maybe next year I’ll save my money in spring and buy a swimsuit like this for summer!

Then, lets go swimming! (Last one in the water is a rotten egg!)

“Ero Loli”, short for Erotic Lolita is a hard style to get right. As a rule, Lolita fashion should not be eriotic, or sexy in any way. It should just be cute and innocent.
So, ero Loli isn’t really ‘ero’ in the sense most people would expect. It’s a flash of bloomers, Wearing your corset on the outide, maybe even high heeled shoes?
It’s ‘daring’, if a victorian girl were to be daring.
To me, it sounds like a fashion challenge! Can you be sweet and innocent while still flashing your underthings? Well, if your underthings are as long and frilly as a Lolita’s, maybe you can!

I recently bought a corset, a proper one. And decided to try my hand at Ero Loli.

That’s my book of secrets, as illustrated by my cheeky face :p

A closeup of the details. I do love this outfit so much.

Bloomers! and almost KNEES. Whatever next?

Gosh. I hope your sensitive selves were okay with all that

It’s been a little while since I uploaded a gothic lolita outfit post, so here’s some photos of what I wore this weekend.

The best full-body shot I could get was on the stairs, in the full-length mirror. Not the best ever, but you see the general idea:

It’s my old faithful black and white skirt again!

recently, on the EGL communities there was a lot of distaste expressed for black socks with white shoes, but honestly I like it.
Face photo!

I changed my hair. It’s pink underneath now instead of blue. And I curled it instead of straightening it, just for a little variety.

The next photo is another face-shot, because just before leaving I decided to change the bow I was wearing. So here’s the same thing, but with different head wear (and I have my coat on).

A quick photo of the full effect, with coat.

Sorry, for the sulky face, totally unintentional!

I have one more bonus photo, which was accidental and wrong, but still turned out quite itneresting and I like it anyway.

How regal, how suave! If only I knew how to do that whenever I wanted! :p

I’d been looking for new boots for quite some time, since last autumn my last pair of knee-high boots had a terrible accident and were ruined.
So after months of looking around aimlessly, I realised I wanted black and white ones. This pair from Qutie Land ( http://www.qutieland.com) fitted the bill;
http://www.qutieland.com/product.php?id=57

Since they have a black and white option in the drop-down menu. Now, I was always wary of sites that made things to order, and replica companies in general. Mostly due to the endless stream of size problem posts that the EGL community gets from girls who have ordered clothes and they haven’t been made properly. And I know a lot of others are worried about this too! Which is why I am making this small review.
I really wanted these boots, so I decided to take the chance and order them.
The standard size fits me, so there was no custom sizing. Sorry I can’t review from that perspective. However, they are still made to order. I was a little extra nervous, since the black and white colour combo isn’t shown, so I had to just hope they’d be the in the same pattern as the red ones.

The communications with Qutie Land went brilliantly, they kept in touch at every stage of the process and all their messages were clear.

Counting production time, they took just over a month to reach me, which is quite outstanding since they ask 20 working days to make each pair. It was a long wait, but I was expecting that.

The boots arrived to me last week, the box they arrived in was slightly bashed, but that’s the postal system for you.

Inside, they were perfect. And are very solid and well made shoes! Here they are:

The laces are exceptionally long, but do work so you can tighten or loosen them if you need to. You can see that the toe is quite solid and the soles are thick.
Also, the black and white pattern is exactly what I was looking for!

The only negative thing is that the cuffs around the tops of the boots are NOT detachable. They are shown detached on the website, and they are described as detachable on Ebay, but they are not on my pair. They close by velcro on the inside, and are glued on. Assuming they were detachable, I almost peeled them off by accident, so the glue isn’t very strong. But that is easy to sort out, and isn’t a problem considering the overall good quality of these boots.

They are also extremely comfortable, I wore them every day last weekend and they did not become uncomfortable at all.

Here are some detail shots:

Overall, I am very happy with these, and will deffinately consider shopping from Qutie Land again.

New year is a time to party! So this is what I wore to celebrate:

This is one of my favourite dresses. It’s a storybook jsk by Innocent World.
I must admit, I chose to wear it because I thought it would co-ordinate well with the Professor…

He looks so happy hanging there between my bows….

Shoes make an outfit!

And finally, my unimaginative makeup and outifit-matching red and gold nails.

The new years party was great fun. What an amazing end to last year and a great start to this one
I hope you all had fun too!

wearing your favourite colour all the time can get boring. So here’s some blue and purple. A lot of people think purple or blue suit me better and look nicer on me than red, but the sad truth is that I like red more anyway.

Oh, look at that pose! I think I was going for confident…

The same outfit, but with jacket and scarf. Ready to go out!
I dont wear this metamorphose skirt very much, because it’s pruple. But I like it with that jacket. Maybe it will get more outings next year.

And a bonus shot:

Some boy-style.

Sorry I look so grumpy in all of these. I dont remember what I was trying to look like.. I promise to smile more from now on!

red is my favourite colour.

Here’s a red winter outfit.
I wore this out to lunch this weekend. It’s good to be home!

Lunch time!

It was an odd circumstance that while I was in Japan I had almost no opportunity to dress in japanese fashion, but sometimes circumstances just aren’t right.
However, now that I’m home I’m getting back into the swing of getting all dolled up to go out for the day!

Here’s me in my new favourite Putumayo coat, that I bought in Tokyo.

We spent the day christmas shopping and eating far too much!

The girls!

This post has been moved from “pages” to a blog post so that I can continue to post about Gothic lolita fashion in blog form much better, right?

~Gothic and Lolita~

I don’t take photos as often as I should but here are

my Gothic and Lolita outfits of times since past.

“Gothic Lolita” is a subculture fashion that originated in Japan, and is influenced and aims to imitate victorian clothing, and the image of fairy tales and elegance.
I took an interest in this fashion since I’d always been interested in vintage and victorian styles. Old fashioned clothes are so interesting.

I’ve put together a lot of these outfits over time for various events, or just out of my own interest!

My new years resolution has been to be to take more pictures.
maybe next yearI’ll resolve to actually post them!!
