Because everyone is doing it... another meme!

Firstly, I have a lot of good news and also some bad. First the bad: my camera broke, so I have to use my dad's one until I have a new one. Sadly, my dad's camera is not very good... But now the good news! My package from Taobao finally arrived (After more than 2 months! Ugh! -.-) and everything I ordered is just lovely. I'll be writing a review later.
Also, my brother and my best friend both passed their exams. I also passed all my tests, and I can continue towards the 2nd year smoothly. And lastly, I'm taking driving lessons again :)

My lolita bubble:
1- When I am sewing or drawing, wearing a pretty dress, drinking tea and listening to classical music, that's when I feel top-to-toe lolita.
2- I made my room a little more romantic, with a pink door, pretty pictures on the walls, fancy tea cups in the cupboard, and a bed that reminds me of a French balcony. Now it really feels like my home.
3- I make sketches of dresses eveywhere, even in my school books.
4- My friends ask me what's the matter when I'm not wearing fancy clothes.
5- My lolita bubble is a daydream of another world, an ideal, beautiful world.
6- My bubble doesn't include only lolita. I also love vintage clothes and mori-girl, because they give that same, other-worldly feeling.
7- I'm not really a full lifestyle lolita, but I think I'm a halfway there. I sing classical music, I sew, I like baking although I don't do it as often as I'd like, I like to go to concerts, opera or ballet performances, and most of the time I try to dress with care. But there are so many other aspects of my life that are not lolita at all! So I can't really call myself a lifestyler.
8- I love reading lolita weblogs and always search for new ones. Sometimes I'm afraid it's an addiction. I especially love the Finnish ones, and would love to know more German ones.
9- Ever since I've discovered lolita, I try to make everything in my life more beautiful. Why have boring, plain things if you could have pretty, interesting things?
10- I think this quote from Marilyn Monroe is very suitable for lolita: "It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than to be absolutely boring."

What I love in lolita:
1- Old ladies in the supermarket who exclaim: "Oh, you look so cute!"
2- I love beautiful tea cups, plates, and even cutlery. Anything fancy or romantic, with flowers or curls or golden edges will catch my eye. I'd love to wear a tea cup on my head and a spoon on a necklace. I believe Emily Temple Cute does that sort of thing.
3- I love all lolita styles, but my favourite is Classic. Victorian Maiden and Mary Magdalene are to me the epitome of that typical lolita look: cuteness and elegance combined.
4- What I love about (classic) lolita is the feeling of the aristocratic life that seems to have disappeared nowadays: To be an elegant young lady, living in a beautiful manor, going for walks in the countryside and balls in the evening... that's my ideal life. (I do realize that life really wasn't so ideal back then, and I truly appreciate the advantages of modern life. I wouldn't actually want to live in another era, but I love to daydream about it.)
5- When, after two weeks, someone comes up to you and says: "I really liked that dress you wore then-and-then."
6- The beautiful lace.
8- Pintucks, buttons, ribbons, box-pleats, ruffles, scallops, everything!
9- The fact that my boyfriend, parents, brother and friends all like it, and think it suits me.
10- Making my own clothes, exactly how I want them.
