Lolita (ロリィタ) is a street fashion and a subculture in Japan, known for its intricate and delicate doll-like look. The clothing is inspired mainly by the Rococo and Victorian eras, and covers a large variety of sub-styles. It's mainly worn by females, as there is no male counterpart of Lolita.
A lifestyle Lolita generally dresses daily in the fashion, interacts with the local Lolita community and may have feminine hobbies such as baking, sewing or embroidery. Some lifestyle Lolitas adhere to the ideal of leading the life of a princess, and surrounds themselves with beautiful things and adapt certain mannerisms (such as extreme politeness or "ladylike" behavior).

I've known about lolita for a long time and would dress up and wear lolita styled clothing at some anime conventions. My first outfit I got was from Japan at Bodyline and it was a Waloli oufit and still remains as one of my favorite sets because of the print.
Only recently I've developed more interest into the fashion and learned more about the culture and the community behind it.
These are some blog posts about Lolita and my thoughts about the fashion and different brands. Comment and share your thoughts regarding the designs and the fun that Lolita can bring into your life!
