3 Lolita Blogs I Like Part 2

There are so many great Lolita blogs out there so I knew I had to do a few 3 Lolita Blogs I Like posts. This is part 2, you can read part 1 here. I will most likely be doing more, a part 3 and 4 are probably in our future. It feels like new Lolita blogs pop up everyday so it is hard to keep up. I find I have to make the rounds about once a month looking for new Lolita blogs. It also feels as if as many blogs that are appearing there are ones that are disappearing. I know a lot of you already know these blogs but perhaps you don't and these will be new and now part of your Lolita blog reading. Now, 3 MORE Lolita Blogs I Like....

I have been reading Luna Rain for quite some time and have enjoyed every post. Many of her posts are on new prints and of different series by the popular brands, pictures and details about local meet ups, and orders of new goodies she has purchased. I l-o-v-e seeing the things that people order. It is so much fun, you can kind of live vicariously through them. Posts where there are lots of pictures and details are the best and she does those well. Hop on over to her site and have a good time.

Just like her banner above, New Vogue Children has some of the prettiest pictures. I love looking at all her pictures. She has tons of pictures of what she wore that day, wardrobe shots, shoe pics, cute bunnies, and more. If I had a chance to snag her Lolita wardrobe I would be the happiest camper.  She has quite the collection that any Lolita would be proud of. Especially her parasols. I have a fondness and weakness for them and she has some really nice ones. She has been writing since 2009 so there is a nice backlog to read through. Enjoy!

Some of you might know Ramble Rori from egl. For quite a bit of time she was doing Lolita based surveys pertaining to brands, relationships, family, money, and more. She has quite a few and they are worth looking at. I remember participating in many of them and I really enjoyed seeing the results. GO take a peek at the results of here surveys and learn a thing or two about your fellow Lolitas. In addition to her surveys she writes about daily Lolita, being a bad ass, and more. I always enjoy her site and look forward to new posts.

I know I read a lot of Lolita blogs but I am sure that there are many that I don't know about. Do you read one that you really love? Do you have any recommendations? Let me know, give me your suggestions.

3 Lolita Blogs I Like

As of right now I am following/reading over 200 blogs and most of them are Lolita. There are some cat, cute, Japanese Fashion, or food related but the majority are Lolita in nature. Some of them are very active and some haven't posted in some time but I still follow them since they might post any day. Reading Lolita blogs makes me happy and smile everyday and I want to share these blogs that make me smile with you. It was a bit of a difficulty choosing just 3 Lolita blogs that I liked and wanted to share. I feel this might have a follow up post of two. Now, onto my 3 Lolita blogs  that I like......

Kaho's Lolita World is such a cute blog. It is about a mother and daughter who both wear Lolita together. So cute. My favorite part of her blog is her posts on new dresses. Kaho and her daughter get so many cute Ops and JSKs. I am a bit jealous. Her blog is in English even though she is from Japan and now lives Singapore. We are all lucky she knows English and chooses to write her blog in English. She has a nice little backlog of posts that you can read so hop on over and check it out.

If I am not mistaken F Yeah Lolita is one of the first Lolita blogs that I read/followed. It was popular even then. She has been writing since 2009 and many of her posts are very well written and informative, especially for a new Lolita. She has many posts for you to read. Some of her popular posts which include how to avoid being an Ita, how to build a strong Lolita wardrobe, and more. Her blog is full of information and you should put on your frilliest bathing suit go swim in the pool of a Lolita education.

When I think of the Parfait Doll blog and its author, Victoria Suzanne, I think of pink. How can I not? It is all pink when it comes to her. Pink hair, pink layout, and pink posts. As a fellow pink lover I really love it and appreciate it. Her blog is very well written but I love her pictures the most. I can spend a bit of time just scrolling through looking at her pictures. But, if you want to take your time and read instead of just breezing through you are in for a treat.

3 Second Hand Stores I Like


Being a Lolita on a budget I really like going to second hand shops looking for "Loliable" goodies. Every time I step into a shop it is like starting a treasure hunt. You just have to take the time and be patient. There is at least one thing that you will love and will make a great addition to your Lolita wardrobe. These 3 shops are my favorite and you should check them out too.

I started with my absolute favorite. I go to my local Goodwill every other week. It is pretty new, it popped up about 3 or 4 years ago. It is quite large and I could spend 2 hours browsing easily. Goodwill is awesome because they carry 2nd hang clothing and also new clothing. Much of their stock is overstock from other stores that is highly discounted. Also, every article of clothing is given a color tag. Everyday a certain color is 50% off. More often than not I walk out with a full bag of new clothes and other goodies.

This one is a no brainer. I think there is a Salvation Army in almost any town or at least close to you. Much like the Goodwill, it is a treasure hunt for great buried treasure. There is so much at the Salvation Army and you can find so many different things. Clothing, jewelry, shoes, bags, accessories, and more. The prices are great and the stock is ever changing. Help out a little too by donating to the Salvation Army or Goodwill. My friend just donated 2 computers to the Goodwill this weekend.

I don't ave a Buffalo Exchange close to me now but when I lived in Philadelphia there was one 3 blocks from my home. It was great. Buffalo Exchange is a 2nd hand shop but it is a bit of a step up. They only accept certain clothing. They are picky about what they sell. They try to sell only trendy and popular styles. When you bring clothing in they go through your stuff, pick what they want, offer a certain amount for it, and you can take cash or store credit. The prices are higher than the 2 above stores but the stock is younger and trendier.

3 Artists I Like

I have always enjoyed art. I think most people if not all people do. Art does not have to be an oil painting by a master, it can be and is so much more. There are so many talented people on the internet who share their gift with us and their styles are so varied.
I don't really have any art in my home except for one painting (which I can't even decide where to hang it). This is mostly because I don't have the money to do so. If I did have money in a serious way I would love to have my walls covered in all types of art. And, these 3 artists would be among it.

Dim:
Dim has makes some of the sweetest and cutest pictures that you can find on the internet. Her super sweet looking girls and attention to patterns and details make her pieces fun to look at for more than 10 seconds. The longer you look the more you see and the more you enjoy the piece. I had so much fun leisurely browsing her site. Each girl she draws I wish I could meet and make my friend. More pictures on her website!

Matsuo Hiromi:
I want to be the girl pictured above in the middle. How cool is she? Long and amazing curly hair (I get a little jealous of girls with curly hair because mine is straight as can be) and long limbs make her super cool and sexy looking. Matsuo's style is soft and colorful and I love the way she blends. She has a great talent and I want to see so much more of her work. She has a way of setting a tone in each piece that is amazing. Take a little peek at her site and treat your eyes.

Mihoshi:
First, I just have to say the name Mihoshi just makes me think of the blonde and super likeable character from the anime Tenchi. She was just too cute. I first saw the art of Mihoshi last year and fell in love with clean lines and stark color contrast. Most, if not all, of her pieces highlight a lovely lady or two. These cute girls stand amongst flowers, water, animals, and other visually catching scenes. Check out her site (which is in Japanese) and browse through her gallery. You will not be disappointed.

3 Things I Like

Bopping around the internet I found these super cute goodies.

Snifty Scented Pens:
First, what a cute name? These cute and colorful pens not only look cute but them smell great as well. Each pen smell of blueberries, chocolate chip cookies, cup cakes, and mint chocolate chip ice cream. Yumm.  You can snag them here. They are $2.45 each.

Modify Watches:
Watches are so much fun. There are an unlimited amount with unlimited looks and designs.  You don't even have to spend too much money on them. But, a watch is a watch and you are stuck with how it looks. Modify Watches allows you to buy different bands and faces that can be switched when ever you want. How cool is that.  I designed the ones above. The lavender one with the dot face is so cute. Very Lolita. Hop on over to their site and make a few of your own.

Yurakoro Egg Shape Kittens:
Anything that is cats or kittens and I love it. Like 98% of the internet I love cats. These adorable egg shaped kittens are like Weeble Wobbles. They swing back and forth but never fall.  They are supposed to bring you luck and fortune. They also meow.  So cute.  Grab one for $10.20 from Strapya World.
