Saguenay's Lolitas Meeting! ~ Winter Loliday 2018!

Hello my pretty purple roses! :3

Last weekend, our little Lolita community here is Saguenay celebrated International Lolita Day! ^w^/

A little while ago, Catherine asked me if she could organize a Tea Party at her house for one of our meetups! Since I was a bit busy and my health isn't the best also lately, I decided to let her organize the winter Loliday for this year! ^w^ I gave her some tips but overall she organized mostly everything and I was very proud of her, she was a fantastic host! :3

I didn't had a lot of inspiration for my outfit... ^w^'' Usually I'll wear my latest purchase for the following Loliday, but I haven't bought anything in almost a year and half... Érika and I tried to find inspiration for my outfit on Friday night and she reminded me about my Day Dream Carnival jumperskirt! XD; I pretty much forgot I owned this dress... ^w^'' So I decided to make an outfit with it! ~

Here was my outfit for the Loliday! :3

~ Outfit from December 1st! ~

Headbow; Oo Jia

Blouse; Oo Jia

Jumperskirt; Oo Jia

Socks; Bodyline

Bag; Loris

Accessories; Sugar Raindrops, Rococo Soul & Offbrand

I was inspired to wear a monochrome outfit with my Day Dream Carnival! ^w^ I've never worn that dress with long sleeves before! I chose socks with a bit of pink in them to match nicely with the print and I think it makes it stand out more. ~ I also chose accessories that are simple, yet enhance the elegance of the outfit and the print. :3 It's been a while since I was this proud and excited to wear a coordinate! ^w^

I went at Catherine's house a little bit early to help her prepare everything before the guests would arrive. :3 When everyone was there, we took our outfit pictures! :3

Catherine in her Steampunk inspired outfit! ^w^ I really love her blouse and I think it coordinated so nicely with this look! ~

Alex in his Ouji outfit! ~ I think that the little cameo broach he added to his neckbow adds a nice finishing touch to his accessories. :3

Mason in their Ouji outfit! ^w^ I really love their big neckbow, it looks very elegant! :3

Érika in her lovely black and lilac outfit! ~ Look at her cute sparkly necklace! I think it coordinated so nicely with the print and it adds an interesting touch. :3

Of course, Emily had to have her outfit shot too! XD;

Jenn was very elegant as usual. :3 I especially love the pattern on her tights and her lovely bag. ^w^

And there's me! ^w^ My orignal outfit had my lilac gloves but since I couldn't take my outfit picture from earlier with them I putted them on here. :3 Thanks to Jenn for the picture! ~

For the activities during the afternoon, Catherine planned an Alice in Wonderland themed Bingo! ^w^ She made one for a Tea Party she organized last year and she thought it would be nice to play it again since Lolita fashion is quite inspired by Alice in Wonderland! :3

There was Alice in Wonderland themed words instead of numbers! ~

And I won some jelly beans! ^w^ Yay! ~

We played Bingo for quite a while. ~ After that, everyone was invited to share some creativity with eachother. Basically, we would share something that we made, wrote or created. :3 I read two poems and one was very much Lolita fashion themed. It's a very dear poem to me and I was happy to share it with everyone. ^w^ Everyone's creations were also wonderful and moved me a lot! I couldn't believe how much talent we have in the community and I was very proud of my friends for being so talented! ~

Since Sandrine and Angélique couldn't make it for the Tea Party in the end, we took the group pictures before eating our meal! :3

Everyone looked so pretty and elegant. :3 With each meetup and I can see everyone improve their outfits and I feel very proud, hehe. ~ Thanks to Jenn for the picture again! My phone is such potato quality that it would have been a disaster. ^w^''

I also really like how our outfits kind of match in colours? XD; It wasn't even intentional. ^w^'' We are basically a lilac, black, grey, white and pink frilly blob. XD;

Everyone was very hungry so we setted up the table for the Tea Party! ~

We had so much yummy food! ^w^ I made cheddar scones and "sushi" veggie sandwiches. :3

I had to take a cute picture of the cupcakes Alex's brought for dessert! ^w^ They were so colourful and especially yummy! ~

After the tea party we chatted a bit and played some board games. :3

I had such a wonderful time for this year's winter Loliday! ^w^ I remember that last year the winter Loliday was my first one where I could celebrate with my local Lolita community and I was very grateful, and I am even more grateful that our community have grown so much during the past year! ~

I am looking forward the next year where I plan to make our community grow more and more and we will be even more active than this year! ^w^

Until next time my sweet kitty shaped puddings! ~
