My husband painted my mirror for me!

I also added two angels and a crown to make it more lolita!

I am so happy it now matches the furniture!

[Got Lolita] Oldschool-like chunky shoes

The first time I saw them was at our concert, while I went quickly to check my cello. The room was crowded, and I was walking looking to the ground, so I wouldn't happen to fall. It was in this moment I saw them on another girl's feet, in blue. I took a minute or two to realize that those shoes would be perfect for oldschool, but the minute I realized that - and was going to ask her where did she bought them -, the girl was gone among the crowd.

Plastic shoes - so probably Melissa, right?

Some day, I don't remember how, I discovered their name. I went to Melissa stores searching for them, but it was always sold out in black. Even found some, second hand online, but wasn't sure if they would look good or if they worth that price tag. When I finally saw someone wearing them with socks, and liked it, it was too late, because the ones I found second hand were already sold out. Just now I was able to get them for a good price.

And here I am, so glad to have bought them, At first sight, they are extremely comfy, but I haven't worn them outside the house, so that's not my final veredict. But, for now, I'm very happy.

[Sewing] Mini hat

Keeping with my long journey to get rid of all the fabric pile, today I bring to you my most recent selfmade: this mini hat!

This fabric I bought to make a headdress for my "Bodyline brown dress in a weird color that you can't find matching headpieces™", but as always, we end up having to buy more than planned, so this was my attempt to get rid of it.

Un - or fortunately? I couldn't end the whole fabric - I bought the mininum amount but it just keeps increasing, heeelp! so I'm thinking about making a headbow with it.

The main problem about making this hat was finding the flowers; I couldn't find the ones I wanted anywhere. I bought some lookalike ones, but they were too big, so the way to go was take off the roses I wanted from previous selfmades, put them on the new hat, and add the new flowers to the previous selfmades. I'm glad everything looks good now.
