LBC Week 6: Lolita Playlist

2:57 AM / BY Rosa
The strictly Lolita part:     Mostly the usual suspects, I suppose - Kanon Wakeshima has long been my favourite as far as strictly Lolita music goes, but lately these Russian guys topped her. They are absolutely amazing!    The Lifestyle Lolita part:                                                Now I really wonder if any of the other Loli bloggers will share my taste:-D Blogs participating: Kirakirashoujo Palace of Frills Commercially Alternative La Petite Princesse Parfait Doll Swirly Purple...

The classical large rectangular headdress. This point is perhaps not that surprising, since they have gone out of fashion quite a while ago - but as I started out in 2008, I still remember them being quite the rage, and as a matter of fact, if they suited me, I would care but little if they are in vogue or not. Back in 2008 I actually owned one - pink, lacy, AP-styled, very pretty. I...

Beautiful Sights: A Visit to a Toy Museum at the Prague Castle

7:22 AM / BY Rosa
      My country is magical. In the good and bad sense, almost everything is possible here. And part of the magic of Prague, our capital, is the fact that at the very heart of our ancient and beautiful Prague Castle, stands a tremendously beautiful Cathedral, from what I have read and seen so far, quite a rarity in Europe. It is this Cathedral of Saint Vitus which gives Prague its characteristic panorama, like the Eiffel...

Bloomers, Upcycling and Fluffiness

2:32 PM / BY Rosa
  Bloomers            I got an itching in my hands to finish up a project that has been sleeping on the bottom of a wardrobe for some two years... bloomers. They were my learning piece, attempting to make our about century old Excella sewing machine and me friends, and though I love it to pieces for its age and design and fond memories of great-grandmamma, I must say with sadness this mission failed. I just...

Beautiful Sights: The Libochovice Castle in Early Summer II - The Secret Garden

1:28 PM / BY Rosa
We start our tour at a gate leading to beauties unknown and secrets untold... Whenever I remember this garden, this song keeps popping up in my head: I know an old garden where the grass is silken, the gate locked with seven locks, and I keep dreaming of it... I can't wait to see Libochovice in the early Spring.     Love, RosaJ ...
