Lolitaloppis 2011

So Tenna and I got on the train early, and I mean really early, Sunday morning to get to the Lolitaloppis in Stockholm. The train ride was long, so we tried to get some extra sleep.  Finally, we were in Stockholm, now we only had to find the right street and even though we'd printed out a map, it proved to be a bit difficult, because the map wasn't detailed enough.

Our outfits for the day.
We took these outfit photos by a church close to the Central Station. It was such a beautiful place.

When we got to Tokyo Stop, naturally, there was a line. It actually wasn't as long as I'd expected, but it still took forever for us to get in. I think it was around 1pm or so when we got in line and it was 4pm when we got out of Tokyo Stop after having spent about 15 or 20 minutes inside. So yeah, it took a while. -__-
I don't actually mind waiting in line for events, but we hadn't eaten since 9am (when we ate 'lunch' on the train, lol), so we were very hungry and it was really cold. Obviously, we didn't wear the most practical shoes, but still. Lastly, the two girls waiting infront of us were really, really annoying. Like. I can't even. Mhm.


After the loppis Tenna snapped this photo of us in a mirror/window. Notice our bags of brand, yay! :D

Inside Tokyo Stop it was super crowded which is to be expected when you shove a bunch of frill-butts into two tiny rooms, but it was a bit disappointing, because it didn't leave that much room for taking photos. I got a few that are for Starlight Magazine, but I would have liked more.

Tokyo Stop were having a sale on their Lolita items. They were marked down by 40 % which sounds like a good deal, except their original price was almost double the retail price. So even with the mark down it was a bit more expensive than were you to buy from Japan. It was such a shame, because they had Meta's Blooming Garden JSK in the colour and the design that I wanted, but with the mark down it cost 200SEK more than what I'd brought.

It was then that I started to feel a bit panicked, lol, having come all this way and waited in line for so long and then I couldn't find something to buy? Then I saw this burgundy skirt hanging behind some other dresses at one girl's stand and it turned out to be this skirt:

Atelier Pierrot

It's the Romeo and Juliet print and it is so luxurious! The fabrics and the design - it's all so beautiful *__*

So I bought it, even though it's too small for me, but it came with waist ties, so I can let it out a bit ^^

I love the chiffon bustle in the back <3

Tenna bought the long and dusty mint version of IWs Christina JSK (the one I have in plum/short) so now we can twin. And it is just so gorgeous in that colour <3

I also bought this cute tote bag and a necklace.

Afterwards when we'd gotten something to eat (thank you 7eleven!), we went into one of the many H&Ms. I bought a hat like the one Tenna modified and wore for the day. It's sold out in most stores around here, so that was neat, hehe.

Next we took our outfit shots by a church and then we headed back to the train station.

The ride back home seemed longer than out, but we had fun with listening to the music from A Very Potter Musical and the audio book of the Philosopher's Stone. We had to switch trains in Lund and on the train to Copenhagen, we entered the overly tired hyper mode, lol. It was a lot of fun, though I felt a bit bad for the other few passengers. Tenna showed me her troll face:



Still lolling XD

Altogether it was a good trip, but a really long day. It was fun, but I feel it cost a bit too much to get there compared to how it was. If I were to do it again, I would definitely do it differently, like spend a weekend in Stockholm and get a chance to see some of the beautiful things there too.
