說明是ROBE A LA FRANCAISE,
這個用剪裁表現出來的斗篷是ROBE A LA FRANCAISE的重點.
據說當年製作宮廷服的仕女是不能用剪刀的.
所以衣服都經過用男裁縫剪出來的布料.
仕女們在跟據女主人的身形再作調整, 縫製.
而可以作調整的部份就埋在斗篷之下..
結果就變成了有這種斗篷的裙子. 

個人覺得...ROBE A LA FRANCAISE是最能代表
ROCOCO和MARIE ANTOINETTE的設計!



Being a Robe a la Francaise. That "sack-back" is really the key design element to this type of dress. This sack-back design was created because the court ladies and their lady in waiting are not allowed to use scissors to cut out fabric. So the fabric is usually cut by a male dress maker. The dress is then sewn by ladies according to the fit of their mistress. As a result, extra fabric is tucked underneath that sack-back. And eventually, this style became what is known as a Robe a la Francaise (which pays more attention to the pleating at the back).

In my opinion, Robe a la Francaise style is the most representative of the Rococo period. And of course, very Marie Antoinette!
  

是日和親愛的ANNIE出席~~~

CHANTILLY的衣服和她很相襯!


I went with my dear Annie today~~~
She looks very pretty in Chantilly. She reminds me of Sachi-sama (^∇^)

因為是LOLITA DAY所以點了可口的 ROSE酒(°∀°)b


Dinner~~
Because it's Lolita day so I ordered some nice rose wine (°∀°)b

晚餐過後大伙兒都去了劇院

留下我們幾個對飲酒閒聊較有興趣的

所有人都是我的友人, 所以談得很快樂! 


Most of the group went to theatre after dinner. Some of us decide to stay in for dessert and some wine and chats. It is a small group of us and I am so glad I know everyone who decides to stay. We had a great time all the laughter and wine~~!

初夏~已經感到氣溫上昇

所以近來的GOTHIC LOLITA配搭都多是著ERO系的,
較成熟的GOTHIC LOLITA.



Early summer, I can already feel the heat.
I have been in the mood for some ero lolita coordinates...
a much more mature version of gothic lolita.

 

喜歡這個地方因為這兒很美麗

店主先生FRANK想把店變成像意大利的模樣

一解他對意大利的思念


I like this place because it is really pretty inside. The owner, Mr. Frank, want to establish a place where reminds him of Italy. So he have all the wall paintings making it look like famous Italian artwork by Michelangelo (and Raphael).

這家的PANINI也很好吃

今天來了一客意式雜菜PANINI
還請了店主幫我搽上點點ANCHOVY醬

CAFFE附近有很多2手衫店

在其中一間找到了好東西!!!!

LIP SERVICE的3件SET也只不過是$12!!!!!!!!!!!!

天喔....要知道在店頭, 但是那件BOLERO都要$110

3件@$12. 一折也沒有!!!!


There are lots of consignment/vintage stores around the area. And I found this baby~ a 3 piece set from Lip Service and is only $12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Being said, that bolero alone usually sells for $110 in stores. And now that 3 piece set only goes for $12...that's more than 90% off!!!!!!

6月1日...INTERNAIONAL LOLITA DAY的那一天

我做了一個重大的決定


On June 1st (International Lolita Day), I made an important decision....

以前不太好貓科類動物

但近來出入有貓狗收容處的寵物店

慢慢就迷上了貓貓.

I was not that into cats all my life. But recently I have been paying alot visit to pet shops that has an adoption section. I also visit regular pet store that sells kitten. They are all so cute.....but to be honest, I rather adopt then to buy a new cat. I think having a cat is so different then having a dog/puppy. When you buy a pet from a pet store, your mindset will be like "I own XXX". But a relationship with a cat is so different (from a dog for e.g.): when you want this cat, have you ever thought about if that cat is willing to be part of your life? Before this adoption I had an experience with cat that I was 100% ready to adopt a cat home, but in the end it didn't work out because that cat doesn't want to (it just hide in its little cat house not willing to get out, it wouldn't even let the staff get near it!). There is no way I force a cat to come home with me, right?...(ﾉ_･｡)

但第一次看到牠的時候....我就知道

就是這隻可愛的小貓了!!!!!!!

在參觀的時候她不停的跟著我

什至想跟我走出收留所

我跟店員說我想收養她所以要出收留所辦點手續的時候

她什至乖乖的坐在門口等我!



But the first time I saw this cat, I (we) immediately know we are meant for each other! While I was at the adoption nursery, she would just fallow me and start meowing and rubbing me with her head and body. When I decide to take her, I had to leave the nursery for some document, she even try to get pass by the nursery door just to fallow me. In the end, she just sat behind the doors and wait for me while I was filling out some documents!

這隻可愛的小貓, 體形雖小, 但完來剛剛成年不久.

一歲零3個月的她在10個月的時候就被上手主人遺棄

而這5個月來她也是在收容所成長的......｡ﾟ(T^T)ﾟ｡

收容所的職員說她的品種是普通家貓

但獸醫說她像LYNX POINT(虎斑重點色) 傳統暹邏貓

又的確....她性格也很像暹邏貓一樣, 非常聰明而且整天也喵過不停

你跟她說人話, 她就會喵回來

要是遇上她有求於你(如零食), 而你去用人話跟她理論的話

這樣可以談整天.......

不什麼品種也好, 她是我最寵愛的寶貝



Although this cat is smaller in size compare to other cats in the nursery, she is indeed a fully grown up cat (1 years and 3 months old). She was sent to the animal shelter from her previous owner when she is 10 months old....and spent 5 months there .....I can't imagine how her life is like growing up in a shelter ｡ﾟ(T^T)ﾟ｡

The adoption center said she is a domestic cat. But when I took her for check up, the vet said she seems look like traditional Siamese breed with lynx point. And indeed her personality is just like a Siamese: Smart and VERY talkative. When you talk to her, she would meow back. And if there is something she really wants from you and you try to reason with her in human language, you will get yourself into a conversation with cat for the next couple of hours.....


Regardless her breed, all I know is that I love her so much and I can feel the same from her....
