12-7-13 ILD: International Lolita Day

I feel as if every time I begin a blogpost I always begin with, "This post is long over due!!!" lol ....Even though it is! But Hello followers both old and new! <3 On December 7th, I was able to attend a frilly meet for International Lolita day. For those who have no knowledge to the significance behind this Holiday I offer a explanation. International Lolita day also know as ILD is a unofficially Holiday for Lolitas all over the world. Its starts I believe every first Saturday In December. This is also a biannual holiday as well so there is also a summer celebration as well.

This ILD meet was held at Kitchenette. Kitchenette is a beautiful Bakery/cafe that not only possesses a very pleasant atmosphere but also delicious treats. I was a tad bit late because of the trains and getting last minute things in order (Yup, we all know, #girlproblems.) As soon as I, as well as others arrived, the food was served.

After the lovely brunch we all headed towards the train station to go to The Dove Parlor. We also took some pictures.

After a short train right and walk we arrived at The Dove Parlor. The DOP was a very relaxing experience. It has a very dim, and intimate ambiance- also due to the limited amount of candlelight it was extremely hard to get good photos.

As some lolis enjoyed each others company. I decided to go take outfit shots outside with my friend.
