I love this set so much!! I bought is from a online store lolitaknot.com. Even though I keep waiting for almost two monthes, but when I got it, it is really brilliant and out of my expectation. I will wear it to a convention. It is so exciting!

Hello all! I'm Mignonette/Royalsealy (he/him). Recently I've found myself nostalgic for the more forum driven format of the early internet days (even though I was mostly on neoboards lol) and I thought I would give this a shot!

Hey, there!
I've been nostalgic about lolita blogs and the ones I used to read years ago are not updated anymore.
Do you still have a lolita fashion blog? What kind of things you like writing about?
Please share your link, I'd love to read it!

Have a sweet day ♡

7th-May-2022 05:28 pm - Nostalgia - any of the oldies still here?

egl

briony_alissa

I'm feeling nostalgic today so thought I'd setup a new account and see if any of the oldies are still lurking. I stopped dressing lolita in 2009 (long story) and haven't really been interested since but I just saw a video of a band called self deconstruction and it all came flooding back!
