Hello lovelies,

last Sunday was the time of the month again; our Viennese lolita community held its monthly Lolita Teekränzchen.
This time we visited the Konditorei Mathias Szamos, a petite little cafe and bakery near the city centre. I had never been there before and that was a big mistake, the cafe was adorable!

 I forgot to take a picture when all of the people were here therefore a few people are missing in the picture.


The cafe looks tiny from the outside but it has a bigger back room with space for 20-30 people.

Szamos had a huge variety of cakes and it was so hard to choose. In the end I got a sour-cherry linzer cake. It was very good, the cake was moist, sweet, and sour. Yummy.

The home made lemonade was okay, and totally fine for the price. We could even choose between black or fruit tea.


I used the opportunity to get some nice pictures.



I wore a more casual coordinate with an Innocent world jsk and a jesus diamante bolero. My choker is self made (Click here to go to my choker tutorial *wink wink*). The huge bow in front is from Swankiss. 
At home I also did a few pictures.


Actually I forgot where I got my socks from. But they are so cute and even have a cute bunny lady on it.

All the best,

Auris Lothol

Hello lovelies,

Today I want to show you how I do my chokers.

It is really no work at all and super easy and quick to make. Watch my tutorial on youtube or scroll down for the written version.


You will need:
a scissor
a plier
your ribbon
tape measurement
closure set (you can buy them in my shop)


Measure your neck circumference (mine was 33cm).


Then subtract about 5cm (for the closure) and cut the ribbon.


Push one end of the ribbon in the closure and pin it close with your pliers. Do the same for the other side.

 
Tadah. And you are done!

You can now add ribbons, small roses, or whatever comes to your mind.

If you want to add a decoration you will need:
your pliers
an awl or a large needle
the decoration/pendant
a ring (in the same color like your decoration)



Punch a hole through your choker. It doesn't have to be big.


Fiddle the ring through the fabric of the choker and then add the decoration.


Close the ring with your pliers.


And you are done! Yey.

Show me your own selfmade chokers!

all the best,

Hello everyone,

a few weeks ago I finished the rococo hanging pockets. See here.
I wore the hanging pockets with my stays, a bumroll, and chemise.
The whole ensemble looks very good already. I am working on an open petticoat to go with the undergarment. Pictures will follow as soon as its done.

A mobile phone fits perfectly into the pockets. *winks*

All the best,

Hello lovelies,

instead of finishing all my big projects I always start smaller ones but at least I also finish them (most of the time). This time I started doing cross stitch embroidery because my hands needed something to do while watching a marathon of fringe.

Grandma Auris at her best!

The pattern is out of a book I bought two years ago in Munich. I always wanted to use it and I finally had the time.

This was the progress from one night. All in all it took me three nights to complete this project.

Night number two. The frame is a bit too big but my smaller one was used up by another project I started last year. Eek.

And this is how the finished embroidery work looks like without the frame. After freeing it from the frame I cut it and put it in the frame and that was it.

All the best,

Auris Lothol

Hello lovelies,

recently I have become affiliated with Spreepicky and sky rose.

Spreepicky is a web shop that sells Japanese fashion item, cosplay, home ware, and merchandise. I especially have my eyes on all that cute Sailor Moon merchandise.

Buy it here

I think my next purse will definitely be one of these cuties. I just love how the Sailor moon collar is incorporated into the design.

The next shop is sky rose.


It's a Japanese brand that sells gyaru, mostly oneegyaru and himekaji items. Their items are pink, white, floral, and have a lot of ribbons. I fell in love with their items immediately. And the plus point is that you don't need Tenso to order because they ship internationally. Yey!

Shop here

If you are patient you can even wait for special events like a free shipping event on every order over 18.000Yen.
Use the code 'aurisrose' to get 5% off your entire order.

All the best,

Auris Lothol
