The Dutch lolita meeting in Utrecht

Good morning, sunshines! (Sorry, I just wanted to say that, hehe)

This is my new haircut. What do you think? Sorry for the over lightness of the picture - the quality of it wasn't the best. Today, I will buy some hair dye and dye those roots as they keep bothering me so much although I have tried to save my hair all I possibly could (my real haircolour is very light ashy blonde)!

The long hair that I usually have is all extensions, if you were wondering.

Few weeks ago I was honoured to attend the annual Dutch lolita meeting and finally meet all the wonderful people that I had known before only online. I was extremely excited of the meeting, so didn't sleep at all the night before the actual day because of that, but I had so much fun even when I was tired. Thank you for the great company, everyone! I hope to see you some day soon again - like Summer Darkness on Sunday, for example. :)

During the meeting I didn't eat only cupcakes, cake, candy, pancakes, berries, bread, cookies etc., but I also tasted this most interesting traditional Dutch cake called "buttercake" which I heard is literally made from mainly butter and cake mix. It's like.. really interesting. I don't know how to describe the experience, but by saying "Yummy in a very weird way - in a way that will make my veins explode", haha (I have a very high cholesterole, so I need to be careful).

People had been baking and everyone looked wonderful - I had the most relaxing time. So, thank you! <3 *many hugs*

Here are few pics of the huge meeting:

My outfit was quite simple including a skirt, dress, blouse, bolero, bag and a coat from Moitie, umbrella from Metamorphose (the most lovely Leyla from Mfashion sold it to me, thank you for that!) Check out Mfashion's web page here: http://www.mfashion.eu/

Here are some pics taken together with people (I'm lolling at some of my facial expressions):

Me with Josine that is truly an amazing person with a big big heart. She is SUPER nice to everyone, so no wonder people like her so much. Thank you for being so nice to me always and spending time with me. <3 *hugs*

Me with a wonderful Dutch lolita whose nickname I have forgot, unfortunately. I remember her being super nice and sweet as well, though. Thank you for spending time with me too - you are such a nice person. *hugs* <3

(Me with Niesje7002 - I wonder where all these wonderful, kind and polite lolitas in Holland have come from.. There are so many! She is such a sweetheart as well. It was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you so much for everything. <3)

(For tall people: You know the feeling when someone is wearing 20cm high heel boots and you don't suddenly feel so tall anymore? Velvet bat looked wonderful, didn't she? She is such a sweet person as well. Thank you for spending time with me. <3)

The group picture.

I couldn't find the rest of the pictures, but when I do, I will definately upload them on my blog as soon as possible. Plus, there will be a hair and make up tutorial for the hairdo and make up that I did for the meeting.

I have already uploaded it on Youtube, but it's still missing instructions and music from the background. It shouldn't take a too long time to fix those, though. I hope you like it! :)

I will also try my best to find time to write more about the DOs and DON'Ts in aristocratic fashion soon and answer all the rest of the comments that I received before (Thank you again for those). However, for now, I will head back to sewing and working with the papers. I'm having people coming for teeth whitening today as well.

I'm truly looking forward to Sunday and Summer Darkness - I'll take loads of pictures!

And also, I hope you are looking forward to the sales that I have online for the items that I'm making. I will announce about it first here on my blog and later on EGL comm sales if I'm not able to sell them all. :)

I hope you enjoyed the post. I will be doing some modifying for my blog later again as I'm still not satisfied with it. I try to make it easier for people to read and find different texts from different topics.

I hope that you also notice the Formspring (''Ask me anything'') gadget on the left side of the blog. So, if there's anything that you would like to ask me anonymously, feel free to send me an anonymous comment here on my blog or in Formspring. I'm more than happy to answer every appropriate question. :) There should be a link to my Youtube account and videos as well.

I'll write about the make up tutorial some point this week, so I hope you are looking orward to that and will give me loads of constructive critisism as well! :)

P.S. Thank you for answering the quiz on the right side of the blog. It's always very useful to know what people are looking forward to read about.

Many hugs,

Iira
