My name is Lily and welcome to my blog. If you haven't figured out already, the title of the blog is a play on the idiom, "Rose tinted glasses" in which refers to the idea of looking at the world (or situation) in a pleasant light and ignoring the darker realities. This blog is inspired by conversations with other fans of lolita fashion about the concept of a lifestyle lolita. I don't think I can consider myself a "lifestyle lolita", but I do like many of the (philosophical) aspects of it and enjoy pleasantries and "old fashioned" hobbies from time to time. And I've been feeling pretty nostalgic lately - longing for EGL's hay day, hunting down for old-school lolita pieces, and scrounging for defunct blog bits from people who wrote romantic views on life to feel closer to lolita fashion when it wasn't as readily available as it is now (Think Princess Portal).
In this blog, you'll expect plenty of the usual lolita fashion related posts such as recent purchases, meetup reports, outfit-of-the-day posts, and thoughts on new releases (I'm a bit old school, so you'll probably not see too many of these, to be honest). You'll also see romantic/lifestyle lolita inspired posts such as my visits to antique shops and (possibly) tea reviews, and I do plan on writing on a more philosophical level (while other posts are more tongue-in-cheek).
I took some acting classes as part of my theatre studies degree (I studied management) and the biggest lesson I've taken away from it was to "be in the moment", and although I don't believe I have any professional authority on the topic, I'd like to share my thoughts that I hope will be useful for anyone - lolita or otherwise. It's a terribly difficult thing to do, especially in this day and age with the distraction of the screen (tv, phone, computer, etc.) and the way the world is - we're constantly concerned with what could happen next, and with how quickly technology is improving, we're also finding ourselves longing for the "good old days" when we weren't so dependent on them.
I invite you to join me in stopping to smell the
