A New Year approaches.
The promise of hope and renewal bloom throughout wonderland.
2009 has been a blessed year for me.
I married my dear prince and started this lovely collection of inspiration and sentiments.
This past year has been one of great joy and creativity for me.
While I am sad to see another year pass by [...]

Sometimes it’s hard to feel pretty when it gets so cold outside. We bundle under layers of sweaters, mittens, hats, and boots. Our hair in constantly being blow in our face by icy winds. Lips get chapped, skin feels dry, nose is running. Warmth is usually first on our minds during this time of year, [...]

What a jolly loliday to frolic in the snow with friends.
Hand in hand we princesses delighted in a winter afternoon.
The call of crows above and snapping of twigs underneath.
Paths haunted with mischievous fey setting spells thorns and ice.

Dancing bears
Painted wings
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm,
horses [...]

The time of holiday delights is near
Christmas Eve is almost here
Filling my wonderland with songs of joy
Candy canes, sugar plums and brightly wrapped toys
Icicles, angels and bunnies hopping through snow
Cozy stockings and soft velvet bows
Families and friends skating on ice
The holidays are ever so nice
While I take a short winter’s rest
I wish [...]

Being a princess can be fun, but like many fellow princesses out there, I still have to do my fair share of work. All my pretty dresses and baubles cost money. So like most people, I have a full time job. Getting out into the “real world” can be a daunting process especially [...]

Many lolitas take interest in fashion and beauty. Being a subculture revolving around such cute and lovely attire, I’m sure that doesn’t come as a surprise. It’s always fun to meet with other girls and share fashion and beauty tips and products. One such fashion enthusiast I had the pleasure of meeting [...]

At some point in life, most of us stare into our Looking Glass and are not happy with what we see. That’s when the Jabberwocky starts to take over – that little voice in your head that whispers all your insecurities, jabbering them over and over again. Even the most confident of people [...]

I happen to love lolita fashion and lifestyle. Being a lolita allows me to connect to my true self – the eternal little princess. It’s a wonderful world of beauty and imagination. Naturally, I love to seek out blogs and websites that relate to this aspect of my life. One such blog [...]

The first flurries of winter kissed my eyelashes this weekend.
They fluttered down drifting on the crisp night wind.
Downy flakes of icy white.
A blanket of snowflakes falling from the clouds.
They melted as quickly as they appeared.
Elusive as faeries skipping through the air.
But soon they will return.
Flowers will sleep, sunlight fades, and turn the world to a [...]
