International Lolita Day: A bit delayed

Hi guys! It has bee awhile, I admit I have been on a bit of a block not knowing what to write about first! But lucky for me one of my long time friends wanted to hang out in style for International Lolita Day! Only a bit late... But it was the first time I ever got to hangout with another Lolita while also wearing lolita. And we had so much fun! I can't wait to do it again this coming up Wednesday. I am excited to meet more lolita's in my area and get more lolita friends. With out further ado here is how are late International Lolita Day went.

We decided that we were going to go to the Barnes and Noble, and than we were going to Starbucks after. My brother and nephew came with us! And we had a blast at Barnes and Noble! I haven't ever been there with Jamie before! In fact it was the first time we were even in lolita together! We got a lot of complements from the people in the store and even got asked to have our picture taken! That was my favorite one because it has never happened to me before, and the nice lady even knew that we were dressed up in lolita! And said that one day she would like to do it as well!

Afterwards we went to Starbucks getting ready to get some drinks, when my brother suggested to go Jumba Juice instead. So we went there and he even paid for all of us! Than me and Jamie took some really cute pictures, if I do say so myself.

After enjoying our beverages we went back and collected Jamie's sister and than headed over to my parents house and played Clue for a pretty long time. Can you guess what we did after that? If you guessed pictures you would be right! I had such a fun time just taking pictures and being in them. It was pretty awesome!

Here is an extra because I am a sap and I love to edit pictures!

After that we changed and went to her house to hang out longer there. It was one of the best days I have had in awhile, and I am glad I got to spend the day with her and look forward to next week!

See you guys soon!

It's A Wonderful World: Editing Pictures

As I already mentioned in Details Details, when I was making the header I found this website which edits photos. I have never used Photoshop so I wouldn't know if they were similar or very different. What I can say is I am so glad to have found this website!
This website has allowed me to save some of my most lost photos, and scare me half to death! My camera is not the best camera on the earth to say the least. It kind of really sucks, which means poor quality. A lot of my pictures were really dark and shady. So shady I didn't even notice other things in them! So this website has allowed for me to take my pictures and make them a better quality to share with other people. Though I might have gone over board with some of them.

So here are some examples, I have been mostly focusing on my lolita outfits that needed rescuing from the dark. So enjoy!

After

You can see more details in the second picture, and it is very bright. I like that you can see more details but your eyes totally get shocked by the shocking colors! Here is another one where you can see the details better.

After

And in these ones you can see the details more clearly on the dress, and you can see more details on my hair! The next ones were in terrible condition, like you could barley see the what was going on, have a look see.

Before

After

These pictures show just how awesome it can be to edit, in the before picture it is so hard to see the dress and it details. In fact I have shown no one this picture before because of it's terrible quality. And in the other one you can actually make out the color of the dress.

Before

After

Last ones I promise, unless you really want to see more! In which case I have a lot more! I am just really excited I can save pictures that you can actually see the details in them! It is amazing! In these ones you can actually see my funny face! No making fun of me okay? One you can barley see my picture or anything besides my cheeks, and the other you can see most. I know in the last two the photos still look funny but the whole things is now that you can actually see them.

Hope you enjoyed me geeking out over this new website, hope you have or will give photo editing a try! It is all good fun. And it shows you that all the pictures you see on the vast interwebs might not actually be what they seem. So keep a good eye out and have a blast!
