CONTEST IS CLOSED
So La Vida Frills has been extremely busy this month! Sadly, I didn't get a chance to write all the post I had hoped to. But we will try again next year. So what have I been up to then? Work has been extremely busy, getting lots of projects in like crazy. School only finished a short week ago and will be starting up again in yet another week. I'll be taking such classes as Advanced Film Theory at night and Directing A Short Film in the afternoon. Of course, both of these classes land on days that involve Lolita Fashion events in New York - which should be all kinds of interesting to get out of. So depending on the teachers and situations, my first class I might miss completely since it'll be one of the first big landmark events for NYC's Lolita community. The FIT Museum Tea Party. It'll feature guests from h.naoto along with Tokyo Rebel! Then later, on Friday comes New York Comic Con! Though I adore Otakon for it's nostalgia, NYCC is perhaps my favorite convention in the world. It has something that tingles all my senses of interest. Movies, Comics, Games and now... Lolita Fashion! For years the convention has had it's tibbles of featuring the sub-culture but now it's going full speed. The same h.naoto guests will be attending the convention and holding their own Fashion Shows and Panels. I'll be attending all of the events and giving my coverage of the event. I'm hoping for it to be video coverage this time, since I haven't gotten a chance to make an Otakon video yet (But it shall come eventually.) I'll also be doing coverage for the other blogs I write for, so I'll be posting about that as well.
Next on the plate is the My Personal Dream Contest. So far we've had three lovely submissions. But we need more to chose from, so come on! Just to review: Submit your dream coordinate (Using Polyvore or whatever image program you chose. You can even make a video on Youtube and post it!) that incorporates something about your interests or something personal! Reply to this or the previous post with a comment that includes the image (or video) and a description of why it represents you! The prize: a La Vida Frill's Gift Set. It includes: a La Vida Frills movie (DVD), a La Vida Frills approved Movie Snack, a small Brand Acessory Item and an assortment of off-brand accessories! Interested? The submission deadline is October 31st!
So keep spreading the word about La Vida Frills and the contest! Let's have some frilly fun ~

I'm really excited for NYCC, but nervous too since it's my first time going...
ReplyDeleteIt seems you've been really busy with some awesome stuff.
Aww really? We should definitely meet up and hang out miss pen pal :)
ReplyDeleteAh I need to get a coordinate together to submit~ Man, but I have so many ideas that its going to be extremely hard to do, but I will! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't wait for NYCC! It's going to be great!
I love the contest idea, I couldn't resist putting together a coordinate: http://makelovely.wordpress.com/2010/10/01/in-which-she-puts-together-her-dream-coordinate/

Super cute contest idea! Making a dream outfit was fun, but it also made me sad Im too poor to buy all those pretty things! http://www.polyvore.com/dream_coord/set?id=23770274
ReplyDeletethis was fun <3

Here's my submission, this was a lot of fun!: http://www.polyvore.com/autumnal_lady/set?id=23790900
ReplyDeleteDescription: This outfit really shows off the side of me that loves a classic, elegant look. I adore autumnal colors, especially dark reds, and I have always dreamed of owning a dress in such a shade. I included cream-colored socks and a cute cutsew to add a bit of sweetness to this otherwise mature look. There is also a feather hair fascinator present for a bit of vintage flair. However, my favorite piece in this ensemble has to be the ring shaped like a longhorn skull. It adds a slightly macabre element and subtly shows off the darker side of my personality. And of course, I just had to put in Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth (I'm a huge P & P fan)! This would be my ultimate dream outfit (and looking at those prices it will have to remain as such...).

ReplyDeleteI adore classic and country styles, but most of all I love steampunk. The idea of floating around in a dirigible or hot air balloon with the country side spread out below sounds so very lovely.
Great contest idea, by the way. :D

ReplyDeleteI have always felt slighty rooted to the 1920's. And fedoras are the best thing ever.

Just a question about entering... I live all the way in Bulgaria (it's a very small country in Europe), can I still enter? If not, that's totally fine, shipping costs can be pretty insane and I understand :)
ReplyDeleteporcelainolady ~ yes you can enter! no limits!

I am a fairy-tale nature girl at heart and I just started building up my mori-inspired wardrobe. This set represents what I would like to be a typical coord in my future closet!
Here is my submission:

Description: I put togeter this dream outfit trying to match two different styles I love: lolita and steampunk. My aim was to create something elegant and slightly victorian looking but that can still be wore in everyday life.
oooohhh~ i really love the entries.
ReplyDeletei wish i could own everything! hahahaha

ReplyDeleteCool contest dude! ;P
I'm really digging gothic, red, black and white lately! I also really like 19th century writings. This outfit was also a challenge to myself to make a coord with as little japanese brand as possible. It features an AaTP blouse, but in reality I will be modifying an offbrand blouse to replicate the look :P This outfit also features works from two good friends, Zoh(Morrigan NYC) and Kelsey(I Do Declare), so wearing this outfit will be very special to me.

ReplyDeleteI'm an electric guitarist and punk rock lover who happens to love sweet lolita clothing. I usually wish I could combine the two loves in my fashion look and with this coordinate I think I did!

I can't believe I never knew about polyvore! Well I am now a fan and I'm following your blog for sure.
ReplyDeleteHere is my very first lil set! I am a student and as such my dream outfit would be one that works for going to classes and reading Victorian literature by the fire.
