Guide to Dressing Gothic Lolita

Making up like a Gothic Lolita is a trend that is gaining worldwide popularity among millions of Lolita fans. The following article is aiming to take advantage of the exsiting Lolita Fashion and tell its readers how they can make themselves look like a Gothic Lolita.

Nowadays, the so-called “Gothic Lolita” dresses, firstly invented by Japanese youth in the Harajuku area of Tokyo several years ago, has been receiving global popularity simply because lots of people want to make themselves look “Kawaii” and “Moe”. Actually, the Gothic Lolita look is very specific and is based on combining elements of the “Lolita” (young girl) images and Gothic looks. If you are an advocator of “Lolita Fashion”, here are basically 5 key- points to support your Goth Lolita look.

1. Emulate fashion of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

Dresses, the foundation of Gothic Lolita building, are reminiscent from these eras, upon which the style is based. Gothic Lolita prefer to dress themselves like Victorian children or dolls made out of porcelain. To achieve that effect with least cost, getting your Gothic Lolita make-up items from Lolita dresses online wholesalers such as rococgirl, milanoo(http://www.milanoo.com ) and lolitaway is indispensable. As a result, your look will be very youthful, innocent, and a little bit seductive at the same time.

2. Wear Lolita dresses with lace, trims, and ribbons.

The Gothic Lolita look has a hyper girly aspect, which greatly contributes to its elegance and cuteness. Therefore, maid dresses with lace, ribbons, trims and frills are always in full force when people intend to dress in the Lolita way. For example, the one pictured to the left is one of the classic dresses of Gothic Lolita building and can be seen in most cosplay shows and comic & anime exhibitions. Furthermore, petticoat and crinoline are often added to skirts while stockings and over-knee socks are also quite popular. Additionally, tights are usually black or white.

3.Wear High Heel Lolita Shoes

It’s a common understanding for Lolita cosplayers to wear high heel shoes, which is best for Gothic Lolita to enhance their youthful, schoolgirl-like look. To make full use of it, you should also practice walking and running like the schoolgirls do everyday, which is not easy for most adult coser. Not only do Gothic Lolita often wear Mary Janes, their favorites include high boots and platform shoes as well. The only difference between the two hobbies is that the later one looks a little bit mature.

4. Combine black and white

The combination of black and white is the ever-existing foundation upon which Gothic Lolita style is based. Although nowadays other colors like pink and red are also often included in Lolita item designs, many Lolita fans still highlight the importance of black and white combination. The reasons why Lolita fans adopt the element of pink mainly lies in that it can promote childlike “Lolita” aspect, which is quite cute and lovely, to the look, However, the mainstream is still black & white.

5. Don’t forget to add accessories.

Dresses and shoes are certainly not enough for complete Gothic Lolita building. You still need to employ Lolita accessories. Gothic Lolita are typically adorned in a lot of accessories, which includes parasols, miniature top hats, lace headdresses and so on. The more, the merrier. Stuffed animals such as teddy bears and bunnies are also common items for a Gothic Lolita. To enhance the gothic aspect of their look, many Gothic Lolita always carry around rather morbid items such as crucifixes, bats and even coffins

Beasty Bling for Men Launches

Los Angeles-based high end pet jewelry brand, Beasty Bling, announced today the launch of The Company’s latest line for men, DAWG. The Company’s new line caters to customers who desire masculine yet refined jewelry for himself and his pet. Beasty Bling jewelry can be worn by pet or owner – a unique concept that elevates pet fashion to a new level of quality and style.
“Moving from New York City to Los Angeles, I’ve noticed the strong surf culture here. You see women and men, of all ages, with their gear almost all year round. It is a way of life when you live near the beach,” said Kate Noto, designer and CEO of Beasty Bling. “I think that the sunshine, blue skies, the outdoor lifestyle and the people who live it, provided a lot of the inspiration for DAWG.”
Noto is a gemologist, art historian and jewelry designer. Her background in antique jewelry and gemology is reflected in the hand-selected materials and one-of-a-kind designs. Kate unites the pet and fashion world by creating human and pet jewelry that provides unique personal expression. Beasty Bling is not one would assume by hearing the name, there is an air of sophistication and a bit of whimsy in each design. Each piece is truly unique as they are all hand crafted – taking a refreshing spin on pet couture.
“I find that men on the West Coast are not afraid to adorn themselves as a way of expression. After all, look at all the beautiful tattoos,” said Noto. Customers who know Beasty Bling for its refined yet uncommon designs, will find a fresh take on this masculine jewelry line that seems to make an effortless statement.
Combining new shapes, sizes and types of semi-precious stones like jaspers and jade with pearls, gold and other unique beads provide a more masculine feel. Other materials you’ll find in the DAWG line are striated jaspers in whites and browns; peppermint jasper in elongated oval shapes; pendants in greens and yellows; onyx and even bright yellow African trade beads.
“As I was working I really felt that what I was doing was a celebration of men,” said Noto. “I wanted to see them in hip as well as dressy neckwear.” DAWG for Men is a great replacement or addition to the subtle gold chain. Today, men are as aware as women of the importance of taking care of their bodies through exercise and diet and of course, fashion…whether it is hipster or surfer, casual or dressy men want to be attractive. There is an old saying that “the clothes don’t make the man” and that extends to jewelry and our four legged companions.
Besides the highly unique designs you’ll find in this men’s jewelry line — the best thing about Beasty Bling is that you and your pet can share the bling!
