My first real Loℓιтα piece (thoughts)

The anticipation coercing through my body caused my fingertips to pound randomly atop the plastic package. Soon the protective white sleeve gave way to a pink and red striped package. From the transparent heart window I could see a glimpse of my future fashion. A momentary distraction ensued as my eyes fell to the branded letters once more. Bodyline. A swift movement re positioned the sealed goods for an easy entry and within seconds a clear parcel slid onto my vacant lap. Folded neatly within the parcel I could easily spot my the front and bow of my jumperskirt.
Once freed of it's containment I allowed my hands to caress the soft and sturdy pastel pink fabric. My fingers curled along the white patterned lace before I playfully pulled at the grosgrain ribbon. The quality in compassion to the faux-Lolita styled clothes was beyond compare. The weight of the fabric, the even stitching and the soft pink intricacies of the ribbon only expedited my transition. Secured in my frills and armed with the essentials my transformation into a true Lolita was complete! 

And there are some of my initial thoughts when I received my first Lolita piece! Topic number 35 of the Lolita challenge is now complete! This marks week 8 of the challenge and I am still going strong.

What were your thoughts when you received your first real Lolita piece?
​I would love to hear your experiences below! 

As always, stay frilly!

Bodyline Mini Loℓιтα Haul!

My order from Bodyline finally came in, hooray! I have a huge haul from My-Lolita-Dress on the way, and I needed some lolita essentials.

Order Date: 2/3/2015
Arrival Date: 3/28/2015

I waited until there was a free shipping campaign to place my order. My order consisted of a pair of shoes, a wig and a wig brush. With free shipping coupled with the yen trick, my cost was only $51.93 - a total steal! The package took forever to come in, but all that is important is that all my items arrived safely.

And now for the opening~


As expected I received the typical grey protective package sleeve. It was pretty grungy from it's long trip. Thankfully there were no rips or tears.

 The best part of this order was that I received my shoes in the fabled Bodyline shoe box! The shoes I ordered are listed here . These are the shoes300 model in off-white and size 25.5cm.


I was told in another Lolita's review that these shoes are form fitting. There is just enough room for tights or thin socks. I wanted to get a size up originally, but I am actually really happy with the way they fit.
The simple design is to die for! These shoes are much better constructed than my tea party shoes from clobbaonline, and my bodyline flats. I would highly recommend them. These shoes are a great addition to my wardrobe!

And now for the wig! This wig is w051 in the dark brown selection 2. It can be found here. The wig was wrapped will, and everything was secured in the nylon black netting.
This wig is gorgeous! Not only does it look like the picture, it is extremely soft! I really love the dark color that I chose. I have another wig by GothicLolitaWigs and this wig is the same quality. It even has a gorgeous head part at the top. I cannot wait to wear it!

Last but not least, the add on! I really really needed a wig brush.
This comb can tackle even the toughest tangles. It successfully saves my Hatsune Miku wig as well as my Princess Serenity one. I don't know why I waited so long to get one!

Overall I am ecstatic with my purchases. While the shipping and tracking was a nightmare the over all products were great and at a great price.

Stay turned for my big haul, and stay frilly!
