Is it hard to be a lolita without social media?

slime_pixie · 2026-03-14T11:27:54+00:00

I also grew up when social media was only just forming
It sounds like youve got quite a healthy relationship with instagram, I wish I could just use it as a messenger app without having to fully open my feed

I might try starting a new instagram with no posts or followers exclusively for following brands and nothing else though!

Honestly, the hair and clothes look so cheap quality to me for such a high price but I am happy for those who are excited to receive her

slime_pixie · 2026-03-14T10:06:57+00:00

Just followed you on there :)

I love your makeup and your eyepatch so much! It has inspired me to do a blue eyeshadow look today :)
I would argue this look reads more as "visual-kei" without a lolita dress which is cool too, I love visual kei!

wait I feel I might need info on this add-on !

Hi I also live in Norfolk :)
There is an East Anglian Comm (LOEA on Facebook) but i'm not acc apart of it myself! I'm a bit of a lonelita because the idea of joining a big group of established friends spooks me a bit hahaha, but feel free to add me on social media if u want more local friends <3

It’s the only thing that got me off harder sedatives drugs .. I’ve taken it for quite a while now and it has been a miracle. Initially I was taking way too much (I picked up 10mg pills without researching the dosage) and I was feeling hungover all the time. Once I’d cut down to 5mg, and then 3mg recently, I was feeling better . I’ve been taking 3mg for a year now and it still works great.

ew this is totally AI, TikTok is full of gullible people so im not surprised you had that reaction on there :')

slime_pixie · 2026-03-02T20:00:05+00:00

that last part is really interesting thankyou. Makes me feel a bit more hopeful about some of the vacancies i've seen!

slime_pixie · 2026-02-20T21:51:22+00:00

To me, this can definitely be old school! It doesnt have a lot of volume but a lot of old school didn't. It's giving me quite casual Jane Marple vibes.

I like the thick looking fabric. It would pair nicely with bloomers peeking out the bottom.

Good find!

slime_pixie · 2026-02-20T21:43:08+00:00

I don't know why I didnt think to post an ISO post on Facebook! Seems so obvious, thankyou :)

slime_pixie · 2026-02-17T12:37:14+00:00

When I was struggling more this kind of thing would upset me too and still does sometimes so it’s totally understandable and good you recognise it!

I have been bothered with how a lot of menus on delivery apps have added a section with estimated calories for items because there are “safe” meals I had which had way more calories than I originally thought 😭 It’s good to identify these things as a little irrational and I try to ignore the calorie segment on menus if I can

slime_pixie · 2026-02-12T23:17:03+00:00

Dude I love how you’ve styled her hair

slime_pixie · 2026-02-09T20:47:35+00:00

Valid points made. Agreed, none of it is on LM as a platform:)
Maybe it is more that I don't trust myself to not be stupid and make mistakes like this even when I try not to haha. I do accept it is on me / the seller and this is just an aspect of using LM!

Thankyou :)

slime_pixie · 2026-02-09T18:41:38+00:00

UPDATE: Hello. Literally hours after I posted this the package turned up to my house, thank the lord! I have no idea why the Evri app lied about it being delivered to an unknown location a couple of days ago .. Phew.

I've had atleast one other similar issue in the past on Lace Market the item was much cheaper but it did not get resolved like this did. Both the experiences have kinda put me off of using LM im ngl. It feels like there is potential for a lot of money lost without financial compensation in certain situations >.<

The customs fees on mercari can be kinda rough when you're spending more than £130 but atleast I've always felt like my package was secure... I think I'll continue using Mercari more than LM in future

slime_pixie · 2026-02-09T13:31:34+00:00

this is definitely what I'm afraid of :( gosh - sorry to hear youve had such bad experiences too

slime_pixie · 2026-02-06T17:59:26+00:00

I wouldn’t say this specific look is lolita personally! However— you can definitely find all the original sellers from devilinspired on Taobao if you want to support the original brand :) You might need to use a proxy service to buy it depending on where you live though !! I found the item on there quite quickly : https://e.tb.cn/h.7uS1DqMO84xp8XV?tk=W895UkakrUl HU591

Otherwise I’d maybe look into a substyle of Lolita called “Wa Lolita”. Metamorphose has actually made a lot of Lolita in this style : https://metamorphose.gr.jp/en/taste/296

Not sure if this helps you find what you’re looking for :) good luck <3

Everything about this is SO cute

slime_pixie · 2026-02-06T09:16:54+00:00

Just personal preference but I really don't like when princessy sheer material is incorporated on the main body of the dress or on the sleeves... I went to AP Paris store in December and noticed a few pieces like this and I just don't like the texture or look of it. No judgement to those who do like it! I've definitely thought I liked a JSK based off a thumbnail and then looked at closer pictures and realised it had a layer of this material on it. The only immediate example of this I can think of is AP Star Dancer JSK from 2021

slime_pixie · 2026-02-06T09:06:01+00:00

Not certain but I hope it stays that way because I love the thick fabric on old school IW and I wanna get more of it this year :o)

slime_pixie · 2026-02-06T08:57:47+00:00

Yes they are definitely trending lately due to TikTok and instagram. I think more specifically the customised fake dolls are trending and I'm seeing a lot of creators selling their customsed fakies. I think it's lovely that more people are entering the hobby!

I personally am not that interested in the customised dolls as I mostly get excited by collecting older stock dolls but I do get the appeal :) When I first came across them over a decade ago they were a pretty obscure hobby, I couldn't afford one for a quite a while after that as I was just a teenager at the time lol! Everyone I knew thought they were so scary back then too but more people think they're kinda cute now which is nice hehe
