the lolita lifestyle : 14 great holiday gift ideas for your friends!

hello everyone!

now that Thanksgiving is on the horizon, the holiday season is officially looming over us. since i work a job in retail, the holidays are challenging for me in that i'm always short on time to think about what i'm bringing to Thanksgiving dinner, or what gifts i'm buying for my friends and family.

for my lolita friends, i start drafting up lists and pouring through their wishlists in early November. this way, i can keep a sharp eye on auctions and secondhand sites in order to receive everything in time for Christmas. this is what i did last year and it worked out wonderfully!

the following is a list of items i found to be very popular in giving gifts to lolitas over the years. some items do overlap with others, but hopefully this might give you some general ideas this holiday season:

trips & adventures: photoshoot with Xin Lolita Photography and NYC!

hi everyone!

i am on vacation this week from work (: originally, i was taking time off in preparation for Angelic Pretty SF's Anniversary Party, but unfortunately i wouldn't be able to go for the planned dates this year.

so instead, i have spent my week getting settled into my new apartment (it's so cute!) and i had one trip planned with my friend Michelle. that trip was this past Wednesday, in New York City!
