Oh man, I´ve got exactly 12 minutes to do this blogpost now ~ my Internet access is a bit limited now due to busy working schedules. lol
But still! I wanted to do this post for long time, so I`ll just go for it now! Ò__O/

Gyaru and Lolita - those styles seem so perfectly different.
While Gyaru is mostly about beeing super up-to-date in fashion and sexy, Lolita is more on the pure side and related to the fashion of the victorian age.
But even though those styles seems so different, I strongly believe they can mix up well.
Fashion is about beeing creative and open to new things - always developing. That´s how I feel. =)
And if you´re a reader of the Ageha magazine, you surely have seen all the great Gal-Lolita attempts in the last few mag´s! (I really LOVE them!) EXAMPLE HERE ♥
So I was often imaging how to mix up my two favorite fashion styles... I have so many coordinates in mind!
Today, I wanna show you one of the coordinates I threw together (just in my mind ~ I don´t own all of the items... not yet. *__*)

When that dress showed up on the Bodyline webstore, I immediately thought of Liz Lisa´s winter collections... maybe because of the florals? =) Anyways, that inspired me to create this Gal-Lolita coordinate.
The hairstyle is a very simple side tail. The cream colored headbow should be sitting on the roots of the tail, while the canotier is worn more on the right side.
A very important part is the eye-make up ~ to mix in some Gyaru elements. Long, dolly lashes and warm colors would be fine, I think! =D
I don´t think I need to explain the rest, it´s pretty obvious how it is worn. =3

Rundown:
BODYLINE ~ One Piece, Canotier, Hairbow
Baby, the stars shine bright ~ Parasol, Necklace, Earrings, Wristcuffs
Liz Lisa ~ Overknee Boots, Strawbag
Prisila ~ Hairfall wig
Dear Celine ~ Cardigan
I think it´s a pretty nice balance of lolita and gal elements - and I`ll definately try that one out! Ò__O/
I already own some of the items shown above, and I`ll go for the rest soon. x3

Did you ever try a Gal-Lolita coordinate? How was the reaction of other Lolitas and Gals?
I know mixing those two styles is a very troublesome topic, so I really wonder about this! =)
One more...Haha, this one was taken weeeeeks and weeks ago. My first time wearing out my Rose Toilette OP - I was soooo proud! :´D
Rundown:
Angelic Pretty ~ Bonnet, OP, Socks
Baby, the stars shine bright ~ Parasol
Bodyline ~ Cardigan
Dream of Lolita ~ Bag
Wig ~ cosplaywigusa.com

It´s such a sweet, sweet life, isn´t it?
i was a Lolita for 2 years before i moved to Gal. every now and then, i make it a habit to mix Lolita with my Gal coords, because it makes me remember the old days of frill and laces! haha~
