My First International Lolita Day - A Report

Despite being in Lolita for almost ten years I never celebrated the International Lolita Day.

Mostly was because I have the memory of my Granma and always forgot the date XD

This time, thought, I remembered and, as it fell on the same day of the F:east Japan, I decided to kill two birds with one stone and going out in Lolita.

Actually the birds were three because, for some reasons that are too long to explain, I'm trying to raise interest in Punk Lolita and it was the perfect occasion to wear it.

This is the outfit I wore today:

Actually the first outfit I planned was different than the one I wore in the end.
I wanted to wear my new overdress, made by myself, but, as I wasn't feeling well, I had to change it for something warmer (this morning the weather was horrible).

Here it is:

This is the face of someone with a terrible cold

Funny thing, around noon the temperature went up and I had to remove the jacket to avoid melting... After a year I still struggle to understand London's weather XD

But what did I really do during this day? Well, I ate quite a lot XD

F:east Japan is a party? Fair? Feast hosted by Japan Centre in Piccadilly Circus.

There were a few free food tasting, and all the usual food you can buy there.

One thing I tried was new and very interesting: a Mochi Ice Cream

 Basically on the outside is exaclty like a Daifuku, but the filling is made of ice cream. I took my photo when it was already melting, but it's best eating it while it's still frozen (just to make your gums hurt more XD)

Not really Iced...

I tried the flavours Matcha (clearly my favourite), Pineapple, Mango and Raspberry (this one was good too but very sweet)

I also ate something like eight or nine gyoza. Everytime there were a bunch ready I was there with my toothpick to pick one XD

Yummy

After that I was still hungry (Don't ask how it could have been possible) and decided to order also some Takoyaki, an Umeboshi Onigiri and some Inarizushi

Just made, they were so good

Look how pink it is

Sadly I have to admt I had better

I want more...

But I didn't eat only, there were also a few activities to try.

Sadly I missed the Origami class, but I totally aced the Sushi making class and did a decent job at the Shodo (calligraphy) one. The two Kanji I wrote were the one for Rainbow and the one for Italy (didn't even know every country has one, I just thought they used Katakana to write them)

Look at my happy face :D

And look at this beautiful Tamaki, I ate it for dinner and it was soo good. I'm gonna make them again as soon as I find a place that sels good fish. The little bear Onigiri looks sad thought.

I also met with Caterina, a Lolita friend, and her boyfriend took a photo of us.

She's so cute and that dress from Lief is perfect on her (not like the last one, but that's their fault, understood? XD)

In the end I had a great time and it didn't really matter that it was Lolita Day. Actually I totally forgot about it (apart from the fact that I'm know writing this post) and didn't do anything special about it.

Oh well,I'm content like this :)

Hope you all had a good time too on this beautiful day.

I'll live you with a photo of my dinner ;)
