What I got For Christmas - Lolita Stuff

This is the second part of my What I got For Christmas. Here are the things that will go well with my Lolita wardrobe and things. I didn't get anything brand but that is more than fine. I don't need names to have a good Lolita wardrobe.

 My mother got me these lovely Lord and Taylor pink leather gloves. They are soft and fit very well.  My shoes size, ring size, and hand size are all the same, 6 1/2. Easy to remember. Just a few days before Christmas I was thinking that I needed new gloves.  My old ones cost a dollar and are showing their wear.

 Like Sailor Moon, The Little Mermaid, and cats; I love boots.  My mother got me these rubber rain and snow boots. Now we just need some rain and snow. They fit well and will serve me well in the coming winter months. 

 This cute jewelry display will come in handy. I have lots of jewelry and accessories and I am running out of ways to store and display it. This is perfect.  My aunt and uncle gave it to me. They know I like pink, funky, and girly stuff so this is right up my alley.

This super soft and cute pink scarf is also from my mom. I only have 2 black scarves so this will start to round out my scarf collection. I want to build up a nice set that I can mix and match with.

This might look familiar to you if you had read some of my previous posts. My sneaky and sweet husband got this for me because he read my blog and saw that I wanted one. She is so cute and so small. The doll is about 3.5 inches tall. Adorable. I have been wanting a Pullip doll for quite some time now and it is great to finally have one. 

I got so much this Christmas and had such a great day.

What I got For Christmas - Non Lolita Stuff

It was a great Christmas. I got to see my family and my husbands family. We had Christmas brunch with my family and then Christmas dinner with his. There was no snow so the roads were safe and the day was very clear. My husband and I get too excited for Christmas presents so we always open them the moment the clock hits midnight. We opened our stockings, gave the cats their presents, and then opened ours.

 Eirwyn (pronounced Air Win) "helped" me take pictures of the presents.  Everything I tried to take pictures of she swatted at and tried to steal.

 I am  still not exactly sure what this is but it is cute. My husband bought it for me. They are super small. A tiny cow milk carton, a caterpillar or soy bean, and a snail thing.

 This was  my big gift from my husband. He really spoils me and this Christmas was no different. Last year he got me Kindle because I am a big reader. I use it everyday. This year he got me a Kindle Fire. I will not use it as my e-reader but I will use it for everything else. Facebook, Netflix, games, weather, and more. It is so cool. He got an iPad 2 so we both have fun new toys to play with.

  I love The Little Mermaid. She is so pretty and the movie is just amazing. This cute set of Little Mermaid Squinkies was a nice little surprise.

 I already have about 6 Monster High Dolls and they are so cool.  I have a vampire, yeti, ghost, ghoul, werewolf, and a fire one. They are kind of like the Ball Jointed Dolls for me. I like the style and detail of them. So, my husband got all excited when he saw this Bee/Insect one. She is cute. She reminds me of my favorite She Ra doll when I was little.

 My mother gave my husband and I a goody bag full of fun things and yummy treats. This Versace perfume roll on is really pretty but I don't know if the scent is for me. It is a very warm and serious smell. Perhaps I will grow into it.

Pocky from my sister in law. Yummy.  She also get me some yummy tea and other treats. She always get me really fun stuff. She knows me well.

 I like puzzles but they get into my head.  I have a very hard time leaving them for later. Thank goodness that my husband got me a 500 piece one. I got it done in less than a day.

 I saw these cute rubber guys at our local Walmart and they are so cute. They have little glow balls in them so when you smack them they strobe. I think the snail and little seal love each other.  

Hello Kitty is so much fun and since they have been licensing out with stores like Target it is easy to find Hello Kitty stuff now. This cute wallet was given to me by my sister in law. I am already using it. It is perfect. I love the size and it is just so much fun.

My Non-Lolita Christmas Wish List

 Christmas is really making its way to us and I can't wait.  If Santa does not want to bring me any Lolita things then I guess I would settle with some Hello Kitty, Sailor Moon, and make up.  Here is my non Lolita Christmas Wish List.

 Hello Kitty!  I don't think I have ever met a person who dislikes Hello Kitty.  What is not to love about her?  She is a cute Japanese Bobtail cat that has the cutest outfits, goes everywhere, does everything, and has the most adorable red bow.  I would accept anything Hello Kitty but I have a special weakness for nice Hello Kitty pens.

 You most likely haven't heard of My Glam because it is pretty new but it is really faboo idea.  The owner and creator, Michelle Phan, puts togther a bag of make up goodies every month.  My Glam send you this bag of fun in the mail.  It is that easy.  $10 a month gets you 5 items (plus the bag) of trial and full size name brand make up.  Hop on over to her site and give it a peek.

 Everything I said about Hello Kitty goes for Sailor Moon as well.  I have loved Sailor Moon for about 15 years now (wow-za!) and I still love to Sailor Moon stuff.  I have a pretty good collection but what I would really like now is the reprinting of the manga.  I got the first one the moment it came out and I would like to get the rest.

One of my favorite things to do is to wander a nice make up store.  It is so much fun to walk around and try the samples, see the new stuff, smell the perfumes, and pick out a few special pieces that really catch your eye.  Sephora is the perfect place to do all of those things.  Their stores are so large and have such a selection and variety that you could spend a long time happily browsing.  A nice gift card would be amazing.  I think the closest Sephora is about an hour away from me.  I used to live 10 minutes walking distance from one and I miss that.  My wallet does not miss it though.

I am sure there are a million other things that I would love to get and just can't think of but the above things would be great.  What non Lolita things do you want? 

My Lolita Chrsitmas Wish List

  We all have a wish list all year long but Christmas is a time when you are very aware of things that you want in hopes of receiving it.  If I could have one wish granted it would be to have unlimited funds for Lolita clothing.  Oh, that would be amazing.  Could you imagine being able to purchase anything Lolita any time that you wanted?    Anyway, here is what I would like Santa to set under the Christmas tree for me this year.

 I love Lolita bags.  I don't have very many at the moment but I want to build a nice little collection.  Angelic Pretty makes lovely bags and purses.  They always have nice soft shapes like bows, stars, and bunnies. 

 These Baby shoes/boots are awesome!  They are a perfect combination of shoes and boots.  The straps and heart buckles make these shoes stand out and the small bow in the front make them sweet.  The heel seems to be chunkier which is good for me because I am not great at walking in heels.  They come in several colors but I think I would get the most use out of the black ones.  Black goes with most colors.

 How could you not want this Innocent World Crown Bag?  So nice.  It might be a bit hard to coordinate but I don't care.  It would look great with black, white, and red coordinates.  I would want to show it off all the time. 

 I am needing a new winter jacket in a big way.  I have been wearing a lavender hounds-tooth Bodyline coat and it is really starting to show its age.  This Meta coat is great.  It has fur on the collar, great bows, and looks comfy and warm. 

 This one is a little obvious I think.  I just did a post about how amazing Pullip dolls are and of course I would love to get one for Christmas.  So cute! 

I already have a dress by Rose Melody and it is nice.  This dress has a lovely print along the hem and is super flattering.  I don't think that I would wear it without a blouse but I would love it so much.  The pearl and bow details are a nice touch but it is all about the print for me. 

This is what I want for Christmas.  What do you want? 

Christmas Goodies

  Last Christmas was kinda stinky so I was really hoping to have a good one this year to make up for it, and it did.  The presents weren't amazing but the day was good.  Everyone got along, no one cried, and all were happy.  At the end of the day I could look back and smile.  My husband and I opened our gifts the moment midnight hit.  It is so much fun opening gifts.  He loved his presents and I loved mine.  Here are the things that I got from him and other family members.

 My Aunt and Uncle gave me the black rose headband which is really cute but it gave me a headache because it is so tight.  The tin has little star candies in it and the flower barrettes are from my boss.

 This Dungeons and Dragons comic is from my sister in law and her boyfriend. 

I love this magazine.  My boss gave it to me because it had a lot of pink in it.  

 I saw this shirt on Woot and I freaked out.  My husband got it for me.  Such a sweetie.  I love mermaids.

I also freaked out because of the cuteness when I saw this cupcake shirt.  I still smile every time I see it.  Look at its face!  I can just see and hear it running around and reveling in being naked and free.

Now, the big present.  I love to read and I have been wanting a Kindle for a while.  Now that they are not so expensive I got one from my husband.  It is great.  I found a bunch of free books and some college text books on science so I will be a busy bee.

I got a few other things like white tulle from my mother and some money from my father in law.  It was a very good Christmas and now I can look forward to February for Valentines day and my B-day! 

My Christmas Wish List

  I won't be getting anything Lolita for Christmas and that is okay.  I don't really need more Lolita clothing.  I have more than enough.    But, in an amazing world where every thing is perfect and I could get whatever I wanted for Christmas these are some of the things I would ask Santa to bring me.

 I love a nice high waited skirt.  The light chiffon looks so floaty.  I have an Ita dress that I bought when I first started wearing Lolita.  It has a really nice skirt and a not so nice top.  I want to cut it in half and make a skirt very similar to the one above.  You can see more about the skirt here.

 Another high waisted skirt. This print is sooooooo cute.  The window and cat really caught my eye.  More here.

 This blouse is very flattering.  The off the shoulder lace ruffle and small vertical pleats running down the front of the bodice make this blouse something special.  Take a peek at more pictures here.

 Everything in the above picture is great except for the stripey socks.  (They make me think of Halloween).  I can picture wearing this outfit on a nice breezy day. The lace and frills blowing around around me.  It makes me want Spring to come around faster.  Click here to see more pictures of this blouse.

 Okay.  This outfit is pretty much a dream outfit for me.  I am sure a lot of us can remember when this was on the cover of the Gothic and Lolita Bible.  You can get it for a fraction of the price at Kids Yoyo.  Look at it!  It is prefect.  The pink.  The buttons.  The little crowns along the skirt. 

 There is nothing that I can say about this.  I just love it.  Pics

Thinking Ahead to Christmas

  This weekend and next weekend in my area there is a craft fair that I look forward to every year.  My husband goal was to buy a dozen cider donuts and eat all of them.  He ate 9, which is still a lot.  My goal was to buy presents for my family for Christmas.  I did pretty well today.  I am going next weekend with a friend and will do more Christmas shopping.  

  I am going to be making gift bags for everyone so I just bought smaller things to add all together.  Today I bought maple syrup, hot fudge, dips, & ornaments. 

Next week I am going to buy some nice homemade soaps and candles to add to the gift bags.  I figure I can buy almost everything now so in December I won't have to worry about it and can spend more time enjoying the holidays.  My husband is also happy about me Christmas shopping as well because since we are married we can give out couple gifts.  We can give 1 gift and say it is from both of us.  Nice!

I wore Lolita and got quite a few looks and whatnot but nothing too bad.  I didn't get as much attention as I could have.  My sister in law had her 8 week old Siberian Husky puppy with her so all eyes were on the cute pup.  Next week I will dress up again and take pictures and maybe video is I am feeling crazy.
