If you follow us on social media you know we are obsessed with all things fall! Warm, rich browns, crisp reds, vibrant golds, we find everything about this season suits our frilly fashion perfectly. Even the weather suits the layers upon layers Lolita fashion incorporates into every coordinate, which is why we wanted to talk about dressing for the season!

November 2019: Shop Update!
At the end of the year, we usually look at all of the pieces we've purchased and we all usually have the same problem: we have all these main pieces but no blouses! And with family gathering, meetups, and time with friends, that small problem ends up turning into a huge headache! So, this time of year is perfect for stocking up on basics!
