SagGeek 2017 Review! ~ Sunday July 23th!

Hello my cute flowery teacups! ~

Today it's time for the review of the last day of the SagGeek which is a geek/anime convention in my city. :3 (I've already reviewed the first two days in my blog earlier so check this out! ^w^)

This day was veeeery overwhelming for me, because I got to host my very first panel at a convention! ~ My panel was the first thing in the morning, so I rushed out to make sure everything I needed was ready and I also wanted to make sure I had a little bit of time to rest before starting my panel. ^o^'' I was super nervous, but in the end everything went super well. :3

The Prince took some pictures of me during my panel. ~

These were candid shots, so I apologize for the silly faces. XD;

My panel was called "Mode Lolita 101" which translates into "Lolita Fashion 101", which is pretty self-explanatory. XD;

I covered everything from the origins of the fashion, the anatomy of a Lolita outfit, what to avoid in Lolita fashion, the different styles, where to buy clothes and where to avoid buying clothes, building your own Lolita closet and your firsts outfits and finally and the lifestyle and Lolita meetups. ~

Obviously, I tried to be as neutral as possible, but I shared a lot of my own advice and my own opinion on the subject, which is what a panel is for in my opinion. :3 I kinda liked it and I look forward doing a Lolita Fashion 201 panel maybe next year along with this one? ^w^'' We will see! :3

After my panel I decided to do a little picnic (in the lobby as we didn't found a nice patch of grass outside XD) and I chatted with the people I got interested into Lolita fashion as well as my friends too. :3 I was feeling a lot less stressed and I enjoyed our little lunch together a lot. ~

After our meal we went to see the award ceremony and the closing ceremony of the convention.

I took a picture of all the winners from the mascarade!

I was happy with the results of the mascarade, most of the people with the nicest cosplays won something, including my friend Mel! ^o^ I was so proud of her, I cried a little bit to be honest. ^w^''

After the ceremony, I figured out I forgot to take my outfit shots for the day. ^o^''

~ Outfit from July 23th! ~

Hat; Taobao

Blouse; Oo Jia

Jumperskirt; Dream of Lolita

Socks; Secret Shop

Shoes; An*Tai*Na

Bag; Taobao

Wristcuffs; Princess Pearl

Accessories; Paradise Rose

Since I knew I was going to host a picnic on that day I decided to wear Country Lolita. :3 It's the first time I coordinate my short sleeved blue blouse with my Sheep Garden jumperskirt and I liked it to bits! ^w^ I think it makes the blue details on the print pop out a lot. ~

I also snapped a couple of pictures of my friend Julie with her awesome steampunk outfit!

I really liked her corset! *v*

Little picture with my friend Julie. ~

And a group picture of our little gang. :3

Alexa and Francois only came to the convention of that day and I was so busy that I didn't had much time to spend with them. ^w^'' But I'm happy I got to see them at least! ~

After the convention the Prince and I kinda organized a huge dinner at the Sam Sam buffet! XD; It started with only the two of us but as the convention went by I invited pretty much everyone that I knew. ^w^''

Everyone at the buffet! ~

I was super happy to see everyone for our last meal together after the convention. :3 The buffet was delicious by the way, it was nice to eat to our hearts stomach content after a nice but stressful weekend. ~

I had a really awesome time with all the people I got the chance to talk to! I got to meet a lot of awesome people, it filled me with joy and warmed my heart so much to see how many people are important to me, and care about me also. ^w^

Overall I had the most awesome time at the SagGeek this year! It's nice to get to spend time with the people who like the same things as you, that have the same passions as you, it makes you feel a little less weird and lonely... I never could have imagined to share my life with such precious people to me, especially in the city I live in. I feel blessed and I'm so grateful to have such awesome and magical people in my life. ^o^/

SagGeek 2017 Review! ~ Saturday July 22th!

Hello my sweetest strawberry pies! ~

I'm back again my blog today for the review of the second day of the SagGeek which is a anime/geek convention that happened in my city last week! ^w^

Saturday was kinda the biggest day of the convention and a lot of people came! There was also a lot of activities to do which was pretty nice. ~

Let's start with our outfit pictures for the day! :3

~ Outfit from July 22th! ~

Cat Ears; PurrrfectEmporium

Headband; SpreePicky

Dress; SpreePicky

Apron; SpreePicky

Socks; Bodyline

Shoes; Bodyline

Wristcuffs; Chiichick

Accessories; Paradise Rose

I went as a Neko-Maid on that day which is kinda my OC named Tomo-Nyan! XD; I was waiting for the perfect occasion to wear this outfit out so I was super happy to wear it on that day. ^w^ (I also got a cute cat tail which you can't see. ^w^'')

I also got lots of outfit pictures with Julie and my Prince. ^w^

Julie was dressed up as an elegant butler. :3

My Prince wore his eternal pirate outfit. ~

The cute maid and the very serious butler. XD;

The cute maid and the pirate, yarr! ^w^

And a little group selfie before going on with our day. ~

We went at Francis's panel about some various trivia from tv series, movies, video games etc... We learned a lot of things and a lot of them surprised me! ^w^ It was a nice panel, I liked it a lot. ~

After that I decided to hit up the dance mat in the gaming room and play Dance Dance Revolution! XD;

Me and Julie playing DDR! ^w^ I haven't played in such a long time, I was kinda rusty. XD;

The Prince even played DDR too! ^w^

After that we were a little bit hungry so we got bubble tea and onigiris for lunch. :3

Our bubble teas! Banana for the prince, watermelon for me (I totally got it because it was pink, let's be real) and vanilla for Julie. ~

It's bubble tea time! ^w^

The freshly made onigiris made by Valerie from "Les Bento de Valérie". (You should totally follow her blog!) ~ They were super delicious! :3

After our meal, we were totally stuffed. XD;

After that, we spent some time walking around the convention and looking at the cosplayers and the dealer's room again. ~ I also made new friends! ^w^

I met a very cute Chi cosplayer and she was super nice and friendly too! :3 I saw her during last year's SagGeek but I was too shy to ask for a picture with her. ~v~ Now I got my picture and we became friends, yay! XD;

We also went to see the mascarade! I didn't get a lot of pictures of the cosplayers because there was so few from animes that I knew and that I liked and almost all my pictures were bad. ;w; But I snapped a couple of picture of my friend Mel's cosplay! ~

My terrible pictures doesn't do her cosplay it's justice, it's muuuuch more prettier in real life I swear. ^w^''

One thing that did bother me a lot about the mascarade is that even if most of the people that entered had store bought cosplays, they were classed in the novice category... Which isn't supposed to happen in an official mascarade... All the people who didn't made their cosplay by hand should be in the standout category, not with the novice that made their cosplay. X__X I think that some of the cosplayers who put some time and effort in their handmade cosplays didn't won a prize because of this and it made me super mad/angry. XD; Oh well...

Right after the mascarade I went to Mel's panel about cosplay! ^w^ It was super interesting and I learned and discovered a lot of things, I didn't know that cosplaying and making your own cosplay could take that much skills and efforts, even on a single piece. ^o^ I was super impressed. ~

After that it was time to go home! (I had to get a good night of sleep because my panel was on Sunday morning! OwO) So that was my second day of the SagGeek 2017! Stay tuned for my Sunday review and what I bought in the dealer's room! :3

SagGeek 2017 Review! ~ Friday July 21th!

Hello my sweet little unicorn plushies! ~

As you may know, last weekend was the SagGeek which is a anime/geek convention in my city. :3 I went to it last year but it was their first time so it wasn't as big as this year! XD; This edition, the SagGeek started to look like an actual convention which was very impressing. :3

I thought I didn't had enough photos to do a blog post with pictures/activities from each day of the convention but I have quite a lot in the end. XD; So I'll do the reviews of Saturday and Sunday in other posts! ^w^

The convention was opening only at 3pm so I had time to get ready and to dress up at home before heading up for the convention centre. :3

Here was my outfit for the first day of the SagGeek!

~ Outfit from July 21th! ~

Headbow; Oo Jia

Blouse; Oo Jia

Jumperskirt; Oo Jia

Socks; Bodyline

Shoes; Bodyline

Bag; Loris

Wristcuffs; Princess Pearl

Accessories; Chocomint, Paradise Rose & Offbrand

I decided to wear something quite comfy and simple for the first day of the convention since I knew there wasn't going to have a lot of people dressed up. XD; So I paired my Star Night Theatre dress with my red blouse, a red bag and red shoes along with matching pony socks, tulle and stars accessories for a dreamy and elegant look. ~

I also took an outfit shot of my friend Julie which came from faraway to Saguenay for the convention (and to see her friends, of course). :3

I really love that dress of hers. *v* And she coordinated it beautifully. ~

We also took a couple of pictures together. :3

After that, we went to the convention centre. ~

Friday was probably the most relaxing day of the convention weekend as there wasn't so many activities to do. ^w^'' We took the time to see where everything was located and look at the dealer's room for the nice things they had to sell. :3

We also saw/met a lot of our friends, new or old and the convention. ~

Here's a picture of my friend Renée with her son. :3

My friend Catherine and I, which I knew from my Lolita group but we haven't talked a lot before. ^w^ I was so happy to meet her, finally! ~

With my friend Claudia, the cutest Lolita witch! :3

I also took an outfit picture of my friend Claudia's outfit, because I think it was a great example of a beginner Lolita outfit done with elements you can find mostly in thrift shops/mainstream stores. ~

Finally a little picture with my friends Claudia & Francis. :3

After a little visit of the convention, I went to Renée's house for some tea and to unwind a little. (She lives super close to the convention centre. ^w^) And I waited for the Prince there. ~

The Prince joined us a little bit later and we visited the convention together. :3 He had a mango bubble tea which was super delicious. ~ We also chatted with our friends for a little while before going back home when the convention closed. ^w^''

That's it for the first day of the SagGeek 2017! Stay tuned for my posts about what happened on Saturday and Sunday! ^v^/
