New and Improved Lolibrary Coming Soon

Mar 17, 2017

A new and improved Lolibrary is on its way!

For those of you who don't know, Lolibrary is a volunteer created database of lolita items, first started in 2010. Their mission is to provide our members with the means to share and archive records of Lolita fashion, including not only historic information on clothes and accessories but user generated content like true measurements, worn photos, ratings, reviews, and comments. Lolibrary cares deeply about Lolita fashion and wanted to revolutionize the way Lolitas get the information they need to learn more about the fashion, make informed buying choices, or to find their dream dress.

As an active contributor, I caught a few sneak peeks of what's going on behind the scenes. The team has been working incredibly hard for months to completely rehaul the site. The user interface is now much cleaner. I'm most excited about the tiled view which has been requested by popular demand for so long.

The hilight feature will be the incredibly powerful search bar. The upgrade will also fix the site stability issues that have been occurring in the past few months. The ETA for the new site is very soon; the current wait is for all images to finish transferring and some bug fixes to be made. Fun fact: the database is currently holding almost 1 million images.

It's undeniable that Lolibrary is one of the top resources for lolita fashion fans. While the migration is happening, the home page will redirect to this lovely splash page. If you love using Lolibrary, consider sending in a donation today! Donations will be used to offset the server costs, so the archive can stay up. Alternatively, if you can't donate, consider contributing items to the database when the site re-launches. The new site will continuously be updated and we have more features to be added in the future, so look forward to it!


* If you are a developer with experience with Laravel (5.4) who wants to help out, please message the Lolibrary Facebook page to be invited to the developer group.

My Gothic & Lolita Wardrobe 2017

Feb 2, 2017


Here marks the fifth year of my closet's evolution with some product placement for Daiya no Ace.

Past years' posts: 2016 | 2015 | 2014 | 2013

So in the last few years I wasn't able to get a complete post done in time, but I tried this year! This is everything branded (major and indie) and whatever else I wanted to show, but I might have forgotten some things (sorry friends). Does not include offbrand aka things found in normie stores. Unfortunately, no graph for this year, sorry!

Lolita

I'm coming out of my closet (lol get it) and finally showing my secret sweet lolita side. I just really like ice cream, okay. I found myself buying more lolita this year because I couldn't be arsed to wear ouji.

Q&A: Could you tell me the difference between aristocrat, ouji, and lolita?

May 9, 2013


I received this question via anonymous on my tumblr. Yes, anon, I can! This is purely based on observation since ouji and aristocrat are not as well-defined as lolita.


Apologies for a terrible photoshop job



I like to think of lolita and ouji as twins and aristocrat as the elder sibling. Since they all belong to the same family, they have very similar traits. At the same time, family members have their differences otherwise everyone would look the same.
