Very sleepy after a long few days at Fortwilderness.

I am so very sleepy that should not be blogging now,but if I don't I won't. First let me start off by saying if my Lolita blog carnival is a mess this is why. I have spent a very long very very fun few days camping out at Disney's Fortwilderness .  I would write some long post about ,but I am too sleepy. I will let my Duffy and Orange birds photos  do the talking so to speak. The last photo is of my new Fort Wilderness pin for my collection.

My most recent wardrobe addition

This weeks Lolita blog carnival works really well for me since I am still working on my new  Lolita summer friendly wardrobe. I don't have lots to add right now sadly because I posted most of my new clothes the other day and because my stuff from Macy's has not come yet.  I do have a few new things  I have not posted yet and that is what I will add here.

The first photo is of some very cute pink and white striped shorts. I know they are not Lolita but, they have a very cute vintage look and I think will look very cute with a Lolita shirt. The shorts are for my camping trip to Maine this month. I can't very well wear full Lolita camping . I needed some cute wearable Lolita like stuff  and I think this will work along with my other shorts I am waiting for from Macy's. The second photo is of a very cute floral prints dress . the third photo is what I plan on wearing with my floral print dress. I know it won't be a perfect Lolita look ,but I do think it will be perfect for my new summer Lolita like look Photo three is of my cute new Hello Kitty skirt . I know it not really Lolita ,but it does look very cute with hime and fairy kei stuff.  Photo  five is of my new watermelon look bathing suit.  I know swimming is not Lolita at all ,but I am from Florida and am not going to give up swimming for Lolita. I try very hard to pick Lolita friendly bathing suits when I buy them hopefully this works.
 Here are the links to the other the links to the others girls in  the weeks  blog carnival.

A pair of lovely new summer flip flops that did not make my last post and a new DS game.

 I have now idea why my new lovely flip flops did not end up in my last post ,but here they are now. I know they are not Lolita ,but to me they look like if  real summer friendly Lolita existed these flip flops would fit right in.  I have also added in a photo of a new very cute Sanrio DS game I bought to play on my trip to Maine that I will be going on a few weeks after my trip to Disney. Hopefully I can keep myself from playing it before then.  

 

some of my new summer wardrobe

I know nothing I bought so far is Lolita perfect ,but is very cute and hopefully will look Lolita like when  I wear it. This is all just the start.  I have some very cute stuff coming in the mail from Macy's in the next few days. I am sorry for the mess in the photos ,but I am kind of in the middle going going though my closet to see what else I have . I am the kind of person who can mess a huge mess out of my room  just for something as simple as this. I know of it quite goes together yet,but it will all work when I am done. Photo one is a new pair of tights.  Photo two and three are lace shirts. IN photo two and three I have a towel under the shirts to show the lace.Photo four is a Bodyline skirt. Photo six is a floral pair of tights.photo seven is of a new Hello kitty ring. Photo seven is of my new wallet. Photo eight is of a red n' black bow print skirt. Photo nine is of pink n' white cork wedge sandals. Photo ten is of  is of a red n' white polka dot sundress. Photo elven is of a floral print shirt. Photo twelve is of a white lacy shirt that ties in the front. Photo thirteen is of a black 'n white
shirt that ties in the front.Photo fourteen is of a Hello kitty shirt.  I know some will scream this is not Lolita like at all , but I have just started and I will work it all out so it will at least look Hime Lolita like. 

 

thinking of a new summer wardrobe

I would love to wear full Lolita all summer long,but I live in Florida and it way to hot for that. I working right now on building a  collection  of lovely Lolita like summer outfits that I can wear without fainting in this heat. I know some Lolitas will not like what I am doing,but I think sweating,fainting and being sick are more unlolita then what I am doing. I know what I end up with won't be perfect,but it will beat sweating like a pig and fainting. I am going camping at Fortwilderness the end of the month and I guess that means a few trips to the parks. Hopefully I won't get called ita by some Lolita crazy enough to try to wear full Lolita in the heat. I will post my best Lolita friendly finds here when I get them before my trip. I hope some of what I find will help other lifestyle Lolitas who are trying to figure out what to wear this summer with out burning up.

The non Lolita style I have a fallen in love with

This weeks Lolita blog carnival is going to be easy. The non Lolita style I have fallen in love with is kimono and yukata. I would not say these are something I have just fallen in love with . I have loved kimonos and yukatas most of my life. I love everything about kimonos and yukatas from the fabric patterns to the accessories.I have always thought kimonos and even the more simple yukata just look so graceful and ladylike. When I was kid I used to love to read books about kimonos and geisha. I have always thought the idea of being a geisha girl and getting to wear over the top beautiful kimonos just seems so wonderful. I have a few very beautiful kimonos ,yukatas  and very beautiful  accessories siting in my closet. Sadly my kimonos and yakutas don't get much wear outside of my house. I worn a few of my kimonos out before,but I have only worn them on very short shopping trips.I have always wanted be able to wear kimono full time,but I can't because don't live in Japan. I would add photos of some of my stuff ,but kimonos are a bit hard to photograph.I have decided instead to just add some kimono photos  of Minnie sticking to my Disney blog theme.  

I hope all of you who read this blog post like it. Here is a list of links to the other girls participating in this weeks Lolita blog carnival.

Lolita Blog Carnival: Things I used to think differently about when I first started Lolita vs. now

I am going to try and tackle this weeks Lolita Blog Carnival question. I have spent a lot of time thinking about this and I really don't know what to say. I have always liked Lolita like stuff even before the word Lolita was what it was called. I figure since my blog is about Lolita and Disney  and I have no idea what to say I will  write about how Lolita at Disney has changed in the past ten years. Ten years ago while Disney has always sold very nice stuff They sold next to nothing Lolita friendly. A lot has changed in the last ten years . Ten years ago you almost never saw a Lolita at Disney and if you did she was almost always from Japan. Ten years  Disney's high end  clothing store Trend d did not exist. I remember the day it opened they were selling selling copies of  that book called Fruits about Japanese fashion. I remember that for some girls  that book at that time it was as close a to Gothic and Lolita bible as they could get. Ten years ago Disney did not have princess makeup line for adults yet. Ten years ago Disney did not sell Lolita friendly stuff like Minnie mouse ear hoodies  for adults. Ten years ago Disney was  not trying out ideas like the Pirate Princess Parties and telling people of all ages to get dressed up. Ten years ago Disney had not made that new Alice in wonderland  movie yet. Ten years ago Disney parks  did not sell as much Alice in wonderland stuff as they do now. Ten years ago Disney did not have a new perfect for Lolita photos Fantasyland yet.   Ten years ago the only Lolita friendly stuff you would have found  in Epcot's Japan  would have been in the Sanrio section. Things have really changed for the better  in the last ten years.I now have friends who are castmembers telling me all of the time about Lolitas they have seen in the parks and I even see them sometimes myself in the parks.I thought I would end this with a few photos that show a little bit of the change at Disney.  The first two photos are postcards that were bought for me by a friend from japan at Epcot about two years ago . The third photo is of my my guide maps for the Pirate Princess parties. The forth photo is of the back of map close up.

I don't know how well I did answering this question,but hopefully my answer works. I know my answer is not perfectly in keeping with the question ,but hopefully next weeks question will be one I can better think of a answer for.
 

Here is a list of links of the others girls who also answered this weeks question.
