Pet Peeves

I was doing my usual trawling through the internet and ogling possible things to buy, and I have this list of things that always manage to annoy me for some reason.

1) Non removable waist ties.
Waist ties annoy me so much! I love wearing cardigans and jumpers and non removable waist ties either make your jumper go all bunchy or create a weird lump on your back, but they just get in the way!

2) Centre back zips.
I have a few reasons for my dislike of centre back zips, mainly because the dresses with centre back zips do not have corset lacing, which makes them really baggy and unflattering on me! The second is just that they look really awkward and weird from the back.

3) Petticoat de-floofing.
This is a common one for lolis, It's just annoying to leave with a perfectly fluffy petticoat, and five minutes in the wind and it looks like a soggy crepe.

4) The wind!
I love wearing hats, but when its windy it makes it near impossible to wear a boater hat or such, without looking like a fool trying to keep it on! Also, my hair messes up really easily.


5) Out of Stock
It happens all the time, I find something cute, reasonably priced, I check the measurements and its miles too big, or would fit me weirdly, this has to be THE most annoying thing ever. Because it happens with shoes as well!

I shall stop at five before I bore you all to death with my winging!

Lolita Wishlist

I have a rather extensive wishlist that has just kept growing since I first discovered lolita, the majority of it is sweet, since I feel I could co-ordinate sweet better, but I still love a good gothic piece. So, in no particular order- here goes!

 Angelic Pretty's Starry Night Theatre JSK in black
 Angelic Pretty's Tiara Rose JSK in sax
 Angelic Pretty's Milky Berry JSK in mint
 Angelic Pretty's Dream Sky JSK in lilac
 Angelic Pretty's French Cafe JSK in blue
 Angelic Pretty's Sugar Pansy JSK in lavender
 Angelic Pretty's Fancy Box JSK in blue
 Emily Temple Cute's Chocolate Ribbon JSK
 Emily Temple Cute's Plushie Print JSK in pink
Moi Meme Moitie's Chandelier OP in white 

Most of my list is jumperskirts, in fact all but one is! I don't know why I favour jumperskirts over skirts and one pieces, I think its just the flexibility that I could either wear it as a dress, or a skirt with a jumper over the top, I also need the extra warmth in windy, rainy ole' England! I also like how jumperskirts look without blouses in the summer (don't shoot me!) I know it's against the 'rules' but hey! If they're coordinated well, they look adorable.

Milky Berry has been on my list since the very beginning, except it was in pink to start off with! But I just love the contrast of the red berries and the mint background. 

Until next time,

Classic Floral Co-ord


I've suddenly fallen in love with classic lolita, and my friend and I were going shopping, so I whipped up a classic co-ord. I hope to add lots more classic and even some gothic stuff to my wardrobe, I feel so elegant! I apologise for the stuff in the background, my mum's having a clear out and her room has the biggest mirror!

My hair's a little boring, it was quite windy so I didn't want to do anything extravagant. I had a bit of trouble keeping my hat on, but luckily we were inside for most of the time! Next time I shall style it a bit more! I need a cute classic handbag too!

I love that Bodyline OP, its fully shirred around the waist so its super comfy and fits great!

Outfit Rundown -
OP - Bodyline
Jumper - Miss Selfridge
Shoes - Secret Shop
Tights - Ebay
Hat - Ebay

Until next time,

Creepy Charms

I've recently bought some creepy charms that I intend to make some accessories from. I bought some eyeballs, and some skeleton hands, I just couldn't resist taking a few shots of them!
Enjoy!




The next time I post I hope to have made something with them!

You've got to start somewhere!

Hello, as you've probably gathered from my profile, my name is Fern!

I've been an avid reader of many fashion blogs for quite a while now and I knew I'd end up writing one myself, so here I am.

I'm new to blogging, but I intend this blog to contain a mix of fashion posts and personal posts, hopefully more fashion posts! I shall be posting my outfits here too! I may even post a few drawings.

I like to experiment with fashion, I wouldn't call myself one style, I like too many to dress in one style all the time! But I particularly like Japanese street fashions, and general pastel fashion!

Anyway, I hope you will enjoy my future posts!
