Some Beautiful Inspiration!

I hope you enjoyed the post from my lovely friend Miss Leelee-chan! She will be helping me with my humble little blog here.

Today's post is just a post of all sorts of beautiful pictures of all the wonderful things that inspire me to live a magical life. I do hope to do more posts like this from time to time, just to share some of my inspiration with the sparkleverse. Today's post is a few lovely pictures that are inspiration for the way I like to present myself as a princess. I must apologize in advance about where these pictures came from, for I do not know! I just have a folder brimming full of cute pictures that I like to take a peek at when I'm in need of a bit of sparkle.












Well well, that's all for now! I hope you found these cute images inspiring to your life!

Lolifying Your Room with Border Prints

Konnichiwa minnachan! My name is Leera but I much prefer being called Leelee-chan. It’s much more kawaii don’t you think? I’ve been a lifestyle for a little over a year and a half and my lovely friend Miss Glitter Princess asked me to help with her blog, which I am more than willing to do! Isn’t it adorable? I’m very excited to help you all live out your Lolita lives with the elegance of a softly blooming flower.

So what I’d first like to talk about is one of my favorite activities. Decorating!

Lately lolita brands all over Japan have been putting out these absolutely adorable border prints that I covet with such passion. Angelic Pretty, Baby the Stars Shine Bright, Metamorphose temps de Fille, and even Innocent World have been putting out more and more prints that embody the innocence of childhood.



Some examples of these adorable prints

Now, if you're like me and want to extend the beauty of lolita beyond just wearing dresses you can easily transfer this most adorable style of borders from your clothes to your decor!

How? With nursery wallpaper borders!

Sure, some can be just a smidge too childish, but with a lolita-tuned sense of taste you can easily go into the nursery section and pick out something that's just right for your room.

Here are some great examples I found on http://www.wallpaperborders.com!


These duckies remind me a lot of an ETC print that came out a while ago!


Aren't these fairies absolutely darling?


Perfect for your inner princess! I wouldn't be surprised if Baby released something similar in the near-future.


Something for the fan of more classic pieces a-la Innocent World. I just want to snuggle these kittens!

So next time you think of redoing your private boudoir, consider getting a wallpaper border from the nursery or children's section. It may just be what you're needing for that final lolita touch.

Bows! Bows! Bows!



Greetings my lovelies! I just want to share with you these three beautiful things that I am just coveting right now! All three are from the fabulous lolita brand Angelic Pretty. One of my most favorite of all the lolita shops out there! Oh aren't they just so sweet, they make me dizzy with joy just looking at them. I think the only thing that could make them even more perfect would be if they sparkled. Can you imagine it? If there was beautiful little delicate gold sparkles on the edges of all those ruffles? Or teensy weensy little diamonds scattered all over all of those bows? Why, I would probably die of happieness if something like that was released.

20 Ways To Add More Sparkle To Your Life

Well now my lovelies, my first real post is going to be about the many wondrous ways you can add a bit of magic and sparkle to your already beautiful lives! While you don't have to complete them all, but you will get extra sparkle points if you do! I will probably be periodically making more posts like this. I hope one day to have a great big long and wonderful list! My goal is 1001 ; )
  1. Smile! All the time! Even if you're feeling down you'll find it's easier to look on the bright side with a smile on your face. And best of all, smiles are contagious!
  2. Buy a bedazzeler! This is your new best friend, it will add instant magic to everything.
  3. Bedazzel your bedazzler. Start gluing rhinestones, lace, and other bits of deco to it!
  4. Have a special day to eat an all cupcake dinner!
  5. The next day spend some time jump roping with a pink jumprope in order to exorcise off those cupcakes!
  6. Buy a fancy pastel tea set, and fancy it up even more with special gold porcelain paints.
  7. Start drinking all your drinks out of your new sparkly tea cups! Even if it's just soda.
  8. Add sequins and rhinestones to your favorite night gown! So you're PJs will remind you of a glittering night sky.
  9. Throw on all your most sparkly accessories and volunteer at a soup kitchen. You'll be doing a very nice thing, and you'll bring some smiles to people's faces.
  10. Have a movie night all alone. Watch adorable movies about princesses going on wonderful adventures into the wee hours of the morning. You'll find all your dreams are happy ones that night!
  11. Sew some cute embroidery with metallic threads onto your bras and underwear. Even if no one knows it's there, it's still a wonderful idea to have something sparkly in such a secret place.
  12. Paint your toenails glittery pink! It's another cute way to add secret glitter to your wardrobe.
  13. Buy a big pair of dark shades and decorate them with lots of sparkles and deco and then go out pretending you're a spy!
  14. Buy a couple dozen pastel colored fake flowers and glue rhinestones to them. Use them to decorate your bedroom or wear them in your hair!
  15. Dress up your pet in an adorable pet costume! Since it's getting to be around Halloween you're sure to find lots of cute princess costumes for dogs, or even cats.
  16. If you don't have a pet, or even if you do, volunteer at an animal shelter. And pick the sweetest and cutest animal there and give it a makeover. Buy it a rhinestone covered collar and play some puppy dress up. From puppy pauper to puppy princess!
  17. Listen to classical music! It's so soothing and beautiful. Much more beautiful than any of the noise on the radio today.
  18. Live out your favorite fairy tale for a day! Pick a princess and dress up like her and then spend the day pretending you are her.
  19. Buy a cute coloring book and some glittery crayons and start coloring!
  20. Take a cue from the French and greet your friends with a kiss on the cheek. Wear glittery lip gloss so you leave behind little fairy kiss marks!

Welcome to Glitter Sparkle!

Welcome to my glittery little corner of the sparkleverse! I've always wanted to have a blog to call my own, and now I do! But now that I have one I seem to have gotten quite the writers block, and I'm usually such a chatter box. Well, I guess I should start off with a little bit about what I plan on doing with this little blog here. I shall be using this little blog of mine to talk about my number one greatest love in the whole wide sparkleverse, lolita! Little miss Glitter Princess here has been a lolita these past 3 years, and a life style lolita no less. Which, if you are unfamiliar with the term, means that I live and breathe lolita. I am also a proper and true princess of a girl who loves to surround myself with beautiful and sparkly things. I think that all girls deserve to live beautiful lives, and that any girl not living a life that Marie Antoinette herself would be envious of is not living up to her potential! And this blog will be about just that, how to better yourself in the most beautfiul way possible.

Well, I've got to go for now, I hope your day is filled with sparkles and beauty!
