Lolita Wine Tasting Vacation ♡ Day 2

/

Before our trip to Yakima, Laura had reached out to the lolita community in town to set up a meetup with our group. I've honestly never hung out with another lolita community, so I was super excited!

Here's what I wore:

Rundown
Headbow: Angelic Pretty
Bolero: Angelic Pretty
Onepiece: Angelic Pretty
OTKs: Angelic Pretty
Shoes: Secret Shop
Accessories: 6% Dokidoki, AP, handmade

We met up at a really cute coffee shop in downtown Yakima that used to be a train station. We had a private room we rented, but that didn't stop people from coming up to the window and staring in like we were zoo animals :^)

Cold-brewed iced tea and a scone! The iced tea reminded me of Dunkin Donuts iced tea, which I was obsessed with when I visited Boston a few years ago.

Waiting for people~
I love Laura's jewelry!

We met up and ate, then went on the hunt for a spot to take pictures. The Yakima community is small, so 3 members joined us!

We are very serious about making sure everyone gets good outfit photos!

Group photo!

Shoe shot!

It was HOT! I'm a Portland baby, I don't know what the bright thing in the sky is! After photos we bailed to the mall and got smoothies.

Nicole and I in VS (with panties behind us lol).

Yakima was fun! Laura and I are thinking of visiting again for their anime con in the fall. Meeting new lolitas was great, it makes me want to start going to convention lolita events and stuff again! Honestly, there's a lot of the Portland community I haven't met yet too... I'm shy but I'll try to be more outgoing!

By the way, I've been making jewelry lately and opened a shop. Here's a few things I've made!

My shop is The Candy Nebula! Feel free to check it out :)

I have a couple new AP and Baby pieces that I've bought and haven't worn yet, I can't wait til I can! My life has felt good lately, and I've really been enjoying blogging. I hope you enjoy reading my blog!

Lolita Wine Tasting Vacation ♡ Day 1

/

A bunch of my friends and I had been talking about doing a weekend trip to Yakima, Washington for wine tasting, and we made it happen! A big group of us went up together, and for our tasting tour we visited four wineries in a limo.

To start off, here's what I wore:

Headbow: Angelic Pretty
Blouse: Infanta
Jumperskirt: Angelic Pretty
Socks: Baby The Stars Shine Bright
Shoes: Secret Shop
Pins: Rosehound Apparel, Fat Junkie, Nikki Lipstick, Japan LA
Other Accessories: AP, offbrand, handmade

The first winery we went to was J. Bell Cellars.

They had a super cute dog that came out to greet us! Their winery also had a lovely seating area outside where I took my outfit picture above.

The second winery had a lovely view of their grapes growing! My friends said these photos reminded them of Kamikaze Girls.

The third winery was Treveri Cellars, which specializes in sparkling wines. I love drinks with carbonation, so this one was my favorite!

They also served food and had specialty cocktails made with their wine, so we got to relax and fill our stomachs. 

I'm so regretting not getting one of these bottles! Their Riesling my favorite from the entire tour! By this point in the tour I was getting drunk lol.

Our last winery had a beautiful garden that was seated up on a hill and overlooked farms and fields.

After taking a lot of pictures in the flowers, we headed home.

Here's a pic of our classy limo~

I know some of my friends have had "lolita vacations" where a everyone stays in a house together while on a trip, but this was the first time. It was fun to see everyone getting ready, helping each other zip up dresses and tie waistbows.

The next day we had a meetup with some of the Yakima lolita community. That'll be my next blog post!

Have you ever gone a vacation before with lolita friends, or done a vacation for a lolita-specific event? Let me know in the comments! I want to hear your stories!
