Hello lovelies,

it's that time of the year again. Not christmas or something trivial like that. No! It's Fukubukuro time! 

I am so excited for this year's goodie bags as the yen is pretty low, which makes ordering from Japan cheaper than ever before. 

But without further ado, here are the fukubukuro that have been announced.

Hello lovelies, 

two weeks ago was a bring and buy organized by our lolita fashion Austria club. We had already held it at various locations like "Weberknecht" back in 2017 here or here in the cellar in 2015 and at Animarket but this time we went for a completly new location: Tokyo Boom. 

It's a Japanese restaurant near Pilgramgasse and they were so kind as to let us rent their backroom and karaoke room. It was a bit small in size and we thought that only a few people would come but at the end of the day, it was a massive rush of people. This event only lasted for three hours but the rush of people just wouldn't subside. 

Here are some impressions from the market before it started. All clothes seen are from members of the club. 

Our club alone had so many dresses and items for sale, we almost filled half of the clothing racks.

In the much darker room/karaoke room, we had the accessoires. During the rush the tables were so full and I tried to give every piece a bit of space without overlapping them but it was hard.

We didn't forget the obligatory group picture of all the organizers: 

And after the three hours, I was super tired and ate a vegan gyu don. It was a successful day and I also made some money (while I spent a bit of it)

And here is what I bought: 

I got a Liz Lisa bag a bag from baby the stars shine bright, and two dresses, one from Axes femme and one from Liz Lisa. 

This strawberry print is my absolute fave. I'm still searching for the dress. 

All the best,

Auris Lothol

 

 

Hello lovelies,

welcome back to another bring and buy! Usually I only have good things to say about the market, but not this time. It was a catastrophe. 

I think it started out, with our japanese fashion club not having enough people attending and canceling the japanese fashion bring and buy. Then there was a big convention the weekend before, and another smaller market two days prior and it showed, there were almost no people.

But my partner and I didn't let our mood be ruined and although we made no sales (except to my mother and a friend), I got to give a lot of people my business card and hope that at least it worked promotion wise. 

But I don't blame the people, I'm actually a bit salty that three event were happening at almost the same time and that it's falling back to the artists, who have no money anyway. Next year Merchbazar and Animarket also want to both hold the market on the same date, this is just ludicrous. They really can't see that they are hurting the artists and I will definitely not take part in their little game.

And that's me and my booth. It looks a bit empty and I really need to work on the decoration. But making these brooches is hard work, I don't really think about the decoration lol.

 

And here are my cute items!

My only purchase was a hairclip with strawberries on it and my partner gave me this Versailles no Bara Lady oscar bag. Love it! It's also brand new and in mint condition.

There were so few people attending, that even the food booth started so sell their food 50% off. I got this for 3€ and onigiri for 2€.

I talked to a few artists and they all said, that Animarket was the worst for them. One even posted on Instagram, that they earned 2€. Yikes. 

But actually, this was also a good lesson. Next time, I will either skip the markets when they are after yunicon, or go only to the one that is first. 

Next week is a j-fashion bring and buy and I am really looking forward to it.

Hope you had a great day,

Auris Lothol

 

Hello lovelies, 

welcome to October and happy Halloween month! I have nothing special planned for this month but that can change any minute - as in, I need a pumpkin dress. Now. Right now. 

But let's turn back time to summer.

July

This summer was pretty tame, I was working most of the time and I usually don't take summer vacations anyway. 

My first outfit I want to share is from the beginning of July and the historical festival in Vienna. I wore my 18th century garb again but didn't hide my pink hair. The dress is not ha at all, so I didn't bother with an itchy wig. Plus, I believe that if the people in the 18th century had the means to dye their hair pink, they would have done it. There are  pictures of women having very slightly pink hair, achieved through the means of a pomade. See a really nice post about hair from the series harlots by frockflicks.

 

silly pictures of me eating a hot potato.
And my full outfit. The linen was super crumpled and the camera couln't pick up my face between the dark green properly. I look like a crumpled blob lol.

After that I only have pictures of the festival Area53

And this is the pictures from Saturday, the last day with cute little horns. the dress is from EMP and has the evil queen from snow white printed on chiffon. The dress is a bit too big but suuuper comfy. I love to wear it as a house dress.
 

Back in the office, I have one oodt and that's it for July. I was very lazy and I feel that I had taken pictures of all of my outfits already and don't want to share them again. 

It is a super old Liz Lisa dress and the straps are already worn out. But I still like to wear it because of the nice floral and pastel style.

August 

It was a colder day in August and I wore a comfy but ticker dress for that occasion. Dress is from Orsay. I am still sad, that the shop went out of business because they always had super nice and comfy business and feminine wear.

Here is a nother office picture but this time with my Innocent world dress I bought at the B&B last year. It's not flatting for my bustline but airy and comfy.

 Here are pictures we took at Aninite, the biggest convention in Austria:

 I love how doll-like I look in this style. I absolutely adore the pictures!

I was wearing a super old baby the stars shine bright dress with my prisila wig parts and a big la pafait headbow.

Here is another work outfit. It's a white dress from the brand Swankiss and even though it is a summer dress, it has a polyester lining and is just too hot for summer.

The cat dress is back here!

Nothing great to tell you about this dress anymore. I love how it looks and it is super comfy.

And here is my look for the lolita Teekränzchen. It was so hot, I decided to be very naughty and go without a blouse or something that covers my shoulders. TOO HOT. The dress is from Angelic Pretty and I bought it at the J-store in Hamburg. 

Off to the next month

September

 I haven't worn this dress in ages. AGES! A friend bought this dress in Japan and he is a large man, almost 2 metres and the sales lady wanted him to try on the dress. wtf? I cried tears of laughter. I'm 155cm and the dress fits me perfectly, but thanks anyway, kind shop staff. 

this dress is from Swankiss again and it kind of looks like a tennis uniform? But it has embroidered shells on top of it, so rather than a tennis dress, I like to style it in a more marine or mermaid style. The cardigan nfrom collectif fit perfectly, with the embroidered mermaid. And the hairclips are from Primark.

 And, as you might remember from my last post, here is once again my medieval outfit for the medieval festival in Eggenburg. All handmade and very swety in the sun. My pink cheeks on the first picture is definitely not rouge, just a red face from the heat.

This next outfit was from our lolita Teekränzchen in September. We went to cafe vivet and they have a huge Sisi picture - so I themed it Sisi. I got this dress from D. years before but rarely wear it because it's so dark. But I like the red and blue combination.  

And last but not least for this month, a work outfit but make it casual Lolita. My work colleagues now my exentric style by now and they are fine with it. I didn't even receive stupid comments, I love them!

All the best,

Auris Lothol

 

 

Hello lovelies,

on Saturday 23rd of September, I attended a Viennese queer art market called "Slay Market #5".

The market was organized by @ Ivo_Lederer on Instagram and it took place at "Blauer Salon" near Pilgramgasse in Vienna. I had a cute round table next to the window and it was perfect for displaying my items. It doesn't look like a lot in the pictures, but remember that every piece is handmade in about 10min (bracelets) to 4 hours (the sailor moon brooches). A lot of my life time is on that table. lol

 

The booth was located near the kitchen on a round table, next to Lisa's munchies (very bad decision, we ate about 3-4 cookies each) and Erik Pekny @zebrakrebs on Instagram. 

Here are two of the delicious cookies we had: Poppyseed and apricot. Yum, yum!

All cookies are made by Lisa herself and they are vegan and cost 3,20€ per piece.

I forgot to take more pictures and most of the time, there where people at my booth and I couldn't leave anyway. 

One aspect I loved about the art market was the sense of community and overall queerness. We immediately chatted with the people around us and it was so easy, to get to know each other. 

In the end, I had a really nice event and I want to thank all of my friends and customer who came and  bought something. Your support means a lot! 

All the best,

Auris Lothol
