Reader Appreciation Sunday, 3/6/2011 ♥

Reader Appreciation Sunday returns! I've decided to switch it from a weekly schedule to a first-Sunday-of-every-month schedule, as I think it was overpowering the content with a weekly spot. Seeing as the last few had fairly limited interest, I gave it a break for a while and did some re-working. If there is a feature on Lolita Charm or a post you particularly liked/would like to see more of, please comment and let me know - if a feature doesn't get very much attention I assume it's boring or unpopular and drop it from the line-up :( I really appreciate the feedback on your LC favorites!


I'm actually loving a lot of blogs lately, and that will be reflected pretty soon in the Bloggin' Beauties list - new reads are definitely making the cut! But I have to say, this week's favorite blog is definitely Cherry Kisses! You may have spotted this cute blogger's photos on Tumblr already - her head of pink curls are hard to miss! Read her blog for tons of adorable lolita photos, Rilakkuma love, and beautiful handmade lolita fashion. Here's a quick taste:





Here are also some of my favorite reader comments as of late:

PrincessBready from March Style Tips:
I read this and thought "Oh my gosh! I just got a new, cute cup!" XD It's off white (a cooler off white, not the warm kind) with a pretty K on the outside and at the very bottom of the cup so I can see it through my tea.

Also, I absolutely adore mori-girl, so I'm glad you mentioned it too. c:
I'm a lover of mori-girl as well, one of my favorite things to do is add braided mori style to lolita outfits for a fairytale approach! I have a cup with a script V on it too from Anthropologie - what a coincidence ;)

inkLolita from Style Inspiration: Deka Wanko:

This seems.. LOLLIFIC! :D
I'm not sure if that's short for loli-terrific or loli-horrific but either way I think you've hit the nail on the head ;)

Star Princess from March Style Tips:
As somebody who wakes up at 5 AM for school, I'm definitely going to take advantage of listening and dancing to music in the morning to get me awake xP Maybe some Para Para in the morning~

I love these style tips a lot! Thank you Victoria :)
I love the idea of a quick dance workout or para para in the morning (not sure I could handle 5 am though, good for you!) I like to bust out my hula hoop for even just five minutes or so, definitely gets me going!


In other news, here's a very brief link carousel that you lovelies might like:

I'd also just like to thank all the girls who have been sending me emails lately... I would share them but I think they'd prefer me not to. They really are amazing reads that inspire me to stay with lolita and to keep writing... So please, don't be shy, I love reading emails from my readers :)

And... thank you for 1600+ followers! Welcome new readers, I hope you enjoy reading Lolita Charm for many posts to come!  And welcome to the 101 Bloglovin followers as well! 

I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend, see you soon!


xoxo,

Inspiration Station!


I follow a lot of blogs and communities that focus on two things: beautiful pictures and positive thoughts, preferably backed with beautiful words (and more beautiful pictures!) I admit that I use them the way an addict uses a drug: for a number, a hit, a boost, a sudden shot that turns my imagination to turbo-drive. It spins out into a world of rainy fairytales, ruffled pleats, and drink-me bottles. That's the place where I get my inspiration, and from there is turns into other things - like poetry, or blog posts, or outfit ideas, or photoshoots. Keeping yourself supplied with a steady flow of unusual and beautiful things is important for you as a person, as a soul. And as lolita, it's doubly important - because, I believe, we are so much more sensitive to visual affects. I've had friends describe the need to experience beautiful things (like a piece of music, a painting, or simply a cloudscape) as much as SAD sufferers crave sunlight. It can drag you from a depression, or cause you to see things differently; it can cause you to create something in homage, or simply say, 'No, it should be like this - ' and then create that! It can do so much for one's sense of self and sense of... universe, for lack of a better term.

To this end, I provide you with a few such gems to keep your inspiration-o-meter full! Doctor's orders, to keep you with all of the Vitamin Lovely that you need :)

1. There's Always a Reason to Smile 2. Inspired By 3. Adults Deserve Fairytales Too (Neil Gaiman and photo by his novel/movie Stardust) 4. laceandflora 5. pearlsandtea 6. Romantic Princess 7. Dr. Bell and Mr. Doyle (fascinating period costumes and dark medical intrigue) 8. L'empire des Dentelles 9. Herr Drosselmeyer's Doll (beautiful song by Abney Park and showcased in this wonderful Princess Tutu AMV)

as always, click the image for a larger size. You'll see the details much better this way!
