Disney themed coordinates, Beauty and the Beast

Last week's Lolita Blog Carnival theme, Disney themed coordinates, was a theme I really wanted to participate in. Even though I'm posting this late (busy mother's day weekend with a lot of happenings), I just had to do this blog post. There have been so many good themes lately and I've been so bummed, because I didn't have any time to participate on those :<. Oh well... maybe I can make my own posts about those in the future. I actually decided that I'll make a series of Disney themed coordinates so you'll see more of these. So anyway, back to the business!

My ultimate favorite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast. I've been really obsessed with it since I was a child. We didn't own the VHS tape when I was a child, but my cousins did and I was borrowing it constantly. I really wanted to be Belle. I wanted to be able to sing like her. In my opinion she was the most beautiful Disney princess, and she still is. The whole movie is really magical for me. I love the animation to the death and I cry every time I watch the movie.

As I grew up, the plot also got more meaningful. I love the fact that the Beast (or Adam) and Belle fell in love, even though they disliked each other at first. It's also great that both Belle and Adam are so feisty. I can imagine how they argue. :D I'm a sucker for that kind of "stormy" relationships, teehee!

It's true that there's also some negative aspects in the story ( like the fact that Beast did take Belle as a prison in a first place), but the main message in my opinion is that you can really change if you want to. And if you love someone that means that you put that person's needs

before your own.

The best Disney kiss.

Everyday outfit

Dress: Dear Margaret
Blouse: Victorian Maiden
Shoes: Modcloth
Teapot necklace and teacup ring: Etsy

Belle's everyday outfit is really basic and simple. I wanted to keep my outfit also toned down. The Victorian Maiden's blouse was a perfect mach to the dress, since it's really similar to the blouse Belle's wearing in the movie. Belle isn't actually wearing any socks in the movie, but I wanted to add those, because we're still talking about lolita after all. I kinda tried to come out of my comfort zone by adding the ankle socks (I personally use mainly tights or thigh high socks). Are you ready for an adventure in the great wide somewhere?

Winter outfit

Dress & coat: Victorian Maiden

Boots: Modcloth

Hairbow: Innocent world

Necklace: Etsy

Ring: Etsy

Tights: House of Fraser

This dress was probably my favorite dress of the movie. I love the rococo-like sleeves of Belle's dress. During the scenes where Belle is wearing this dress she also realizes that she has more feelings towards Beast than she thought. And that's a bit scary. Falling in love is scary. She still feels happy because she notices that there's a person she can really talk to and they also like same things, like reading (and Belle loves reading). 

Belle's ball gown

 Dress: Haenuli
Shoes: Modcloth
Necklace: Etsy
Haircomb: Etsy

Of course I had to use the newest dress from Haenuli, Beauty and the Beast OP in yellow. I want that dress so badly, but I don't have any money, so one can only dream. I wanted to make the outfit really classy and fancy. I like the rococo theme of the Haenuli dress and I actually now wish that in the film they would've used more rococo-like clothing. I personally would like to go ballroom dancing in this outfit.

Here's a makeup and hair tutorial for Belle's look.
You're lucky if you have a gorgeous brown hair.

Random outfit dump.

Hi again!

Like I said in the previous post, I've been wearing lolita quite often this year. I still haven't posted my outfits from Hellocon teaparty either. I didn't manage to get any decent pictures from Hellocon (I mean anything that I would be satisfied with). Anyhow, let's start from the latest random outfit!

Sunday coffee

Outfit from a couple of week back. I went for a cup of coffee and cake with my local lolitas. We hanged out in café Runo, which has a lot of potential for being the lolita café in Tampere. I wore a straw hat for the first time in this spring. Straw hats are the official mark of the spring for me.

Cheesecake!

JSK: BtssB

Blouse & shoes: H&M

Bag: Primark

Hellocon Teaparty

So the Hellocon teaparty was in February, after the main event. I was wearing Meltydream Pastel Galaxy JSK for the first time. I still haven't written the review of it, but let's just say in advance that I was disappointed to the dress. But more about that later. There was a meet and greet of Yuko Ashizava (designer of Atelier Pierrot) and model Midori Fukasawa. Both of them were really really nice and sweet and it was great to meet them.

JSK: Meltydream

Blouse: eBay

Shoes: Bodyline

Welcoming dinner in January

Erica organized a "welcome to the Tampere lolita community" -dinner for me and in January after we moved to Tampere with my boyfriend. We weren't able to go to the restaurant we wanted, but the evening still ended up being really nice. My boyfriend also saw my friend for the first time. Thank you Erica!
