This is the first post on Strange Girl for 2013, and hopefully I can get to posting on a regular basis now that I have the time again.<br />
<br />
(I am STILL having problems with Blogger, bear with me as I attempt to sort out the pictures properly).<br />
<br />
My first choice for this week is a shot taken of Rui for the Grimoire online shop. I love the burst of green! <br />
<br />
My next snap is also from Grimoire, and features Kaori. She looks positively doll-like, I love her new hair!<br />
<br />
Lastly, from JapaneseStreets.com a nod to old-school dolly with it's use of jewel-tones and fur stole. I also love her Ahcahcum Muchacha cat bag! <br />
<br />
I hope everyone had a great holiday and I'm looking forward to posting more this year!<br />

This is a lovely coord from Midori that was shot for the Grimoire online store a few weeks ago.

Little Update: Hello everyone!<br />
<br />
Work has been very hectic for me, and unfortunately hasn't left me with the time to make a post here. However! Next week I'll be back with favourite snaps and some other posts. <br />
<br />
Thank you so much for continuing to follow Strange Girl!<br />
<br />
(And as always, you can follow me on both Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter under "dollymacabre", all of which are updated daily).Kirstenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837608902649160358noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906811795556265414.post-77628300376177721082012-10-12T07:17:00.002-07:002012-10-12T07:17:13.843-07:00New from Grimoire: Verum "Classical Lithograph" Tights & New Shop Staff! Grimoire certainly has been working overtime building up a tights catalogue! It seems like every time I take a peek at the Grimoire and Almadel blogs, Hitomi is announcing another beautiful selection to the Verum line (I am not complaining though!).
<br>
<br>
And so far as beautiful Verum tights, these are no exception, and exactly what the description would tell you: a lovely (if not simple) sheer tight with a beautiful "lithograph" style print in either black or white. While we're used to the Verum brand being a little more colourful and detailed print-wise, Hitomi says the simplicity of these are tights is "I tried to produce. . . Also easy to match any clothes with the image of a classic tights I should make working as a coordinating accent also easy to match any clothes really." So basically, they will match anything.
<br>
<br>
The tights come in four new prints: Angel Wing, Walpurgisnacht, Silent night, and Jardin de fleurs.

"Angel Wing" is my personal favourite, but you can click <a href="http://yaplog.jp/grimoire-blog/archive/1390">HERE</a> to view the entire Grimoire blog entry.

<br>
Also in Grimoire news today, a new shop staffer, Rui, has been hired! And of course, she's adorable! I had seen pictures of her earlier on Instagram, but it gave no clue as to who she was. I'm excited to see how her style develops!

Beautiful new tights in six new prints from Grimoire's tight brand "Verum". What makes these unique (aside from the new prints) from their previous tights is that these are sheer, much like the japanese tattoo tights that are so popular right now. I really love the cross prints!

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good full-length shot. But! I did get a few good detail shots in it's place.
<br>

<br>
<br>
I was really inspired by Miwako's make-up! I'm not always the biggest fan of her coords, but I always love how she does her blush. I also have always loved red lipstick with Dolly, so I decided to give it a try myself. I'm really happy with it!

<br>
My blouse and skirt are incredibly old H&M, fake fur stole is vintage, shoes are Jeffrey Campbell, Necklaces are Fashionably Dead and F21, Tassel is second hand, rings are from all over the place, cross earrings are Claire's, tights are H&M, and my hair piece is handmade.

<br>
<br>
And in case anyone likes my make-up, my powder is MAC Studio Fix in NC15, my lipstick is MAC Red, my blush is MAC but I'm not sure of the colour because the name is worn off, my eyeliners are Urban Decay in Zero and Yeyo, my shadow is Urban Decay's "Black Palette" in Barracuda, and my mascara is Benefit's "They're Real!".
<br>
<br>
I hope every is having a really lovely evening, and I hope you enjoyed my coord :)

I've been feeling nostalgic for older variations of dolly, as as a result, I've been posting sets of my favorite older coords on Tumblr. So far I've done Heri (my absolute favorite), and Saki. Of course, in the following days I'll be covering others as well.

<br />
Like everyone else, I was entralled with the cat head tote. I NEED this cat head tote. I am still on the hunt for the cat head tote. But on looking into the infamous cat head tote, I discovered that pretty much everything they offer is completely gorgeous, in an off-beat and weird sort of way that I can't get enough of.<center><br />

<br />
On top of their amazing tote bag, Ahcachum Muchacha also offer jewelry, socks, tights, purses, dresses and tops. <br />

These pieces are so brilliant in their strangeness, and I can see them easily worked into Dolly Kei, OTT Classic and Gothic lolita coords. Goodness, I would find a way to work them into everything I wear.<br />

Within the last year or so, the line separating Dolly Kei from Cult Party has become less defined. The darker colours, defined silhouette, and heavy accessories that defined dolly has been giving way to lighter and airier looks, and simpler coordinates that one would have associated only with Cult Party some time ago.

<br>
<br>
In the last few weeks I've noticed another Cult Party staple showing up in Dolly Kei coords: vintage peignoirs, slips, and other bed or undergarments. These pieces lend an overall "soft" look that Cult Party is known for.

<br>
How to wear this trend:
<br>
<br>
-Peignoirs are essentially like a housecoat (but much prettier!), and can be worn like a little jacket/coat, as a top layer. Because they tend to be sheer, they make a great top layer because your other clothing and all it's details (pattern etc.) can be seen through it.
<br>
-Slips/nightgowns as a dress. Layer them over tops, belt them, you could even wear a top over it so that the bottom shows like a skirt. You could layer them over another dress, or wear two together. Slips as dresses were also popular in the 90s during Grunge thanks to Courtney Love. Googling images of her from that time can also lead to some great ways to wear them.
<br>
-Layer multiple pieces over each other. Do a few slips together, and layer a peignoir on top.
<br>
-To keep the silhouette, belt any bulky or shapeless pieces.
<br>
-It's going to be easiest to keep this look looking "dolly" if you stick with a richer colour palette. I personally love Miwako's take on this look with the black peignoir (first picture).

<br>
To me, the key to keeping this trend looking 'Dolly' as opposed to Cult Party, is going to be the accessories, pattern, and colour. Also keep in mind the silouette. Dolly Kei is still, for the most part, having a defined waist, while Cult Party is still very voluminous and soft.

So what do you think of this trend? Do you like the direction that Dolly Kei has been taking over the last year?

<br />
<br />
Firstly, a simple but lovely coord from Yukari. I am all about this beautiful burgundy colour!
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
Secondly, this lovely coord from Kaori. I love the idea of a pretty party dress over a girly blouse! And of course, her Verum ankle socks!
<br>
<br>
</a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Mzli-oqsFxd0uaobeCMTWITIHyBsDk9gwHn1IUrG3B4CkAuyfsoCkyMuHtWngTKxsxY2K-7rTwemk9aUuFmQTJHy8P5MGOGSoqvQRVbS_Lt_nIncErtmeE-9GdPLjFAecpNeWoH3des/s640/blogger-image--1310490625.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Mzli-oqsFxd0uaobeCMTWITIHyBsDk9gwHn1IUrG3B4CkAuyfsoCkyMuHtWngTKxsxY2K-7rTwemk9aUuFmQTJHy8P5MGOGSoqvQRVbS_Lt_nIncErtmeE-9GdPLjFAecpNeWoH3des/s640/blogger-image--1310490625.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br>
<br>
Lastly, Miyoshi in a very cult party inspired ensemble. I love the softness of this.
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
As if we didn't have enough on our plates, lusting after the beautiful Verum print tights, trying to snag a pair, (any pair!), as they continue to sell out on the Grimoire webshop! Grimoire has now debuted from their Verum line, beautiful printed ankle socks! The socks have a cute ruffled trim, and as with the tights, they come in an array of designs. The six designs are listed as "Un ange dans le dreamland", "Un papillon blue profond", "La prire de l'ange", "Un desse de la fascination", "Rabbit Gentlemen", and "Le Reine du Chat". The socks will be available instore at both Grimoire and Grimoire Almadel, and shortly after that, online.
<br>
<br>

My favorite designs are:

<br>
<br>
The announcement of the new sock line also sees Hitomi back after a long absence from the Grimoire blog (being overseas buying vintage pieces for her shop). It also sees the return of Mai in an Grimoire ad compaign.
<br>

More than likely if you've admired a snap of the Grimoire staff, they're sporting one of their offerings.<br />
<br />
Branching out a bit, R&M have released three new necklace designs:<br />
<br />
<center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/116874641940908412800/StrangeGirl?authkey=Gv1sRgCPDZpbKIu8z_dg#5773381066113642370'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqYc7RqBlvR7pXTRnVHEeRfT8BoM9YNeIEdcK460h3WY9SyKIEhiYx8jvmwNmfOoLrU01YsjvZh8kjDtDksrrwdEOrLW3jPkjd8OcQycIeb-QnYfZea1oQVvQtcfdbbJGUQpkCfzWFMuw/s288/38.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />
Firstly, a rendition of their bottle necklaces, only much smaller and with less "bulk" added to it. The chain is also much more delicate, and metal trim and details have been added to the bottom and around the neck of the bottles. I really love these new versions!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKB9bQ2rwS63ErHBTzEwVFd_CzBr8efcdiSjfF0lksGOFMi4cYJTR5_FIRZjBf21YJe-E4LJSStYkHVZQFTYl7tLIVf4GYoSwYA553Rkgt4Q_FGX92wKOckn9RvrrQStScuu2VhmjlpOA/s640/blogger-image-1072142168.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKB9bQ2rwS63ErHBTzEwVFd_CzBr8efcdiSjfF0lksGOFMi4cYJTR5_FIRZjBf21YJe-E4LJSStYkHVZQFTYl7tLIVf4GYoSwYA553Rkgt4Q_FGX92wKOckn9RvrrQStScuu2VhmjlpOA/s640/blogger-image-1072142168.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Secondly, a sort of "rosary" style necklace. These are gorgeous. I love how old and worn they look, with a little bit of "darkness".<br />
<br />
<center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/116874641940908412800/StrangeGirl?authkey=Gv1sRgCPDZpbKIu8z_dg#5773381096104317746'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDFGhodxm_mFcnJb0c3q3NMP8JtnfrHDug8weNHWDsgeIfGq-AztVGcDGYEPWaIozLz6g_sPHzlhW8k-9OBIr62PzKdahwnP7DU51F5EOj_bDhtbeq4dJRzP6_2GEwGsEUt_fn63rvTVs/s288/44.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />
Probably straying the farthest from their usual items, these leather choker-style necklaces. No resin, no butterflies, just metal findings. Not my style at all, but the dinosaur is kind of quirky and cute though!<br />

I'm still working on the new layout and colour-scheme, so if you're experiencing any glitches or weirdness, I apologize. (I have no idea what I'm doing, hehe.).
<br>
<br>
I'm also in the process of updating the information and links pages. I don't think I've updated them since I started Strange Girl, and some things within the fashion have certainly changed in the last few years. I would like to have a comprehensive list of "personal" dolly kei blogs and/or tumblrs, give me your links!
<br>
<br>
I"m also thinking about starting a flickr account so that anyone can see my collection of dolly kei pics and snaps I've been saving, would this be helpful to anyone?
<br>
<br>
Back to updating/lurky-looing cgl. There's a nice thread up at the moment dumping pics of dolly and cult party! Go take a look before it gets lost in the abyss.
<br>
<br>
Hope everyone is having a lovely afternoon! It's gloomy and rainy here, which is the perfect weather for me to get things done. I'm on vacation for the next two weeks, and after my brother's wedding I have no plans, so hopefully I can get up some more accessory tutorials and things :)Kirstenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837608902649160358noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906811795556265414.post-19816323296690758352012-07-23T14:56:00.001-07:002012-07-24T11:57:33.421-07:00Emerald Queen<div style="width:500px;margin:0 auto"><div style="position:relative;"><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/emerald_queen/set?.embedder=2014840&.svc=copypaste&id=54123367"><img width="500" alt="Emerald Queen" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/ZYMCvp8jTRCYkVrot93lw/cid/54123367/id/I_v-arWgRyW5kZTze7Afpg/size/c500x427.jpg" title="Emerald Queen" height="427" border="0" /></a></div></div><br/><div style="text-align:center"><small><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/emerald_queen/set?.embedder=2014840&.svc=copypaste&id=54123367">Emerald Queen</a> by <a href="http://molotovcupcake.polyvore.com/?.embedder=2014840&.svc=copypaste">molotovcupcake</a> featuring <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/sheer_tights/shop?query=sheer+tights">sheer tights</a></small></div><div style="width:500px;margin:0 auto"><br/><div style="text-align:left;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=2014840&.svc=copypaste&id=17141131"><img vspace="4" width="50" hspace="4" src="http://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/17141131.jpg" title="Fogal sheer tight" height="50" /></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=2014840&.svc=copypaste&id=20762847"><img vspace="4" width="50" hspace="4" src="http://ak1.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/20762847.jpg" title="Mary Frances Accessories beaded bag" height="50" /></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/thing.outbound?.embedder=2014840&.svc=copypaste&id=60647301"><img vspace="4" width="50" hspace="4" src="http://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/s/tid/60647301.jpg" title="Flower hair accessory" height="50" /></a></div></div>Kirstenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837608902649160358noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906811795556265414.post-62294374112385549162012-07-23T13:03:00.001-07:002012-07-23T13:03:34.755-07:00New Offerings from GrimoireThe first new item from Grimoire is sort of an interesting (or strange) one depending on how you look at it:<br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/116874641940908412800/StrangeGirl?authkey=Gv1sRgCPDZpbKIu8z_dg#5768452327439581410'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga7ceCKMVdgLT5vPtaSPo7IeE_C_4yg8bmo0HI1-AGzFnHs3kvbuZqSE3tnTHhyphenhyphenE23WPM1OlMyhW1BaWYwyE_AVd0TFsenWFCaRVhLAVYoqzzekN8N13fxjoW0VYStEK5ncrgD4usnj-0/s288/38.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Temporary, or "sticker" tattoos featuring imagery from many of the common themes in Dolly Kei.

Grimoire is offering ten package designs, which you can see on their blog, along with photos of the shop staff wearing the tattoos in various ways.<br /><br />Secondly:<br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/116874641940908412800/StrangeGirl?authkey=Gv1sRgCPDZpbKIu8z_dg#5768458088753234994'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6v9guzplirogj1sS0Bmu3CmIxdxcUYNRY5sYAml8bmG2RXD4SuBe7UjegAEw18F2cbpMavygdSPaWwSRRrfw0NX18tvNuWfIrtSlv0eJgGCl8OKy4tvX8jcd6YnQ-wNWvFKTUE4yeS9U/s288/44.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Grimoire also stocks these lovely paper fans from Old Print Factory!

I've been very busy, but I'll be back this week with favorite snaps, inspiration posts, and all my usual things.<br /><br />I'm working on a new layout and design for Strange Girl. I've had this theme and layout since I began this blog, and I think it's time for something new! I'm still not 100% sure how it's going to look, but I'm thinking of going a little darker this time around!<br /><br />As always, you can still find me on Tumblr, Twitter, Poupee Girl, and "DollyMacabre" on <br />Instagram.<br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/116874641940908412800/StrangeGirl?authkey=Gv1sRgCPDZpbKIu8z_dg#5762858363772799298'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrHFfRhEvwCLmv8UJjC794S7VPSo1NkrxuGEMZc9ygNCUTlynBfokFjvWmIrl_qLFxr0N_0aVE6hE3gEUSvsVVTCBPW5blaFgoFSxg4DRVMFbNpCYnxZ-XQlR00fwS0wLay6X176p6C24/s288/38.jpg' border='0' width='400' height='400' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Hope you're all having a lovely day!<br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Kirstenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837608902649160358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906811795556265414.post-62916971209076687792012-06-08T23:20:00.001-07:002012-06-08T23:23:46.065-07:00A Little Music in the Early HoursIt's 3am here, and I'm wandering around my house aimlessly, listening to music and singing to my cat. I realized I haven't made a music post here in quite a while, so this is what I've been listening to this morning:

No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I’m one of them.”<br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Kirstenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00837608902649160358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906811795556265414.post-92203123598455551212012-06-05T19:03:00.001-07:002012-06-05T19:03:03.063-07:00Happy (LATE!)
