Hello all! Due to the difficulty of finding a complete guide and resource on how to use Taobao and shopping services/resellers to obtain items from Taobao, I decided to make a blog on the matter.

(Fake cut to my blog's Taobao FAQ)

Of course, the blog/FAQ is not complete at all. I tried to give a quick answer to most questions newbies might have, but I will make posts with further explainations when necessary.

My reason for sharing this on here is that I would love to have feedback on this FAQ as well as suggestions to improve it (questions that could be asked, details that could be added to some answers, etc.). Any kind of input will be gladly appreciated and taken into consideration. <3 Thanks for your attention.

(Also, if you see grammar mistakes, feel free to point them out: you are even encouraged to do so since I'm very conscious of my limitations due to the fact that English is not my first language.)

This was a tiny bit confusing, so I put together a guide. Please understand that I do not speak/read Japanese, so if I have made a mistake in my translations that impacts the guide, please feel free to correct it?

Cut because there are a bunch of big images )

I've compiled a list of all the current informative lolita video (whether they be amateur or professorial) on the internet. I am only including news pieces or documentary within this list (ie no vlogs). I've separated the videos by the country they were filmed in, to make it easier to view them and find them within the list.I found quite a few videos that misrepresented lolita fashion and I chose not to put them within this list. I hope this will help a number of lolita whether it be for research or entertainment purposes.
(I realize that I probably missed some video so feel free to post them below so I can add them)
(If  you star or made one of the videos and you don't feel comfortable having the video up here please let me know)


ENJOY!

Upon the reaction to someone asking about tying bows on the waist, I finally mustered up the confidence to post a tutorial on how to tie bows in general to attach to horizontally or vertically oriented things. (i.e. attaching a bow to a hair-tie/clip would be horizontally & tied as a scarf or on a tree trunk would be vertically)
Here we go~!! )


Better pictures and examples of it finished to come eventually here !

I'm passing on a cute and possibly useful bow making tutorial I saw on the Flasco shop blog.

They have 2 different tutorials for different bows: small neck ribbons and larger waist ties. I knew the first one but I'm going to have to try that second one out!

These posts are pretty old so I hope they haven't already been posted here yet! Please let me know if it has.

\\Question for those interested // )

My side story ... )
May be we could turn this discussion into a guide to conducting yourself safely on the net.

Hello everyone.

Lately there have been quite a lot of lolita-themed blogs sprouting up...and fast. I have seen/read some concerns as to whether they are being created for the right reason, and in rare cases by the right people! After thinking about what to say and (especially how is this relevant to lolita), I thought it is time to do a different kind of lolita blog guide. A PUBLIC one. Also, I'm not trying to discourage anyone from starting a blog, but making sure newbies know what to expect when they think about starting a blog.

(EDIT: I've put the entire post back into left alignment by request. Hope it's readable now.)

 
This is long. )

Now, just where shall we go today?


Imagine that you've prepared your ideal coordinate at long last.

It's detailed, it's well-balanced, it fits just right.

Pretty. Perfect.

Now imagine that the only photos you got to take of it are a few outfit snaps in your living room and a few stray shots at a meet-up or convention. Seems a little sad, doesn't it?

Depending on where you take your photos, the coordinate's feel can change drastically! The mood of the outfit can shift from whimsical and quirky to eerie and dark with a simple change in scenery. Identifying a good location for your photos is one way to add extra spice to your coordinate snaps, and can give you a good start to a more formal photoshoot.

Here are five suggestions for general locations which will frame your outfit (or that of your model!) nicely.**

Hi everyone!
I was just browsing around daily_lolita, and I often see pictures that are quite small. Since this month's theme is tutorials, I thought I'd show everyone how to post up their pictures bigger ^^ and of course this isn't just for daily_lolita, it's for anywhere on livejournal :)
