About The Author


Hi there!
 My name is Dalin, and I am the author of La Vida Frills.
First, a bit about La Vida Frills:
LVF was created out of the devotion for my love of film and Lolita fashion! I wanted to have a place where I could share my views and loves for both mediums, and show how they can relate very easily to one another, as they are both amazing visuals in all.
So now you probably want to know about me!


Name: Dalin Elizabeth Rowell. My name is one of the combination of both my mother and fathers names (As I always say, the product of hippie/rock n roll parenting), My middle name comes from both my Grandmother and Aunt's first names and the last name is an old European name that's part of my fathers side.

Lifestyle lolita is... Bringing the part of you that you've always kept inside, out free and happy. The part of you that smiles at the site of something from your childhood, the little girl who enjoys a good fairy tale, and the one that will never go away.
