Lolita Blog Carnival: Influential Historical Eras

I'm kind of happy this is a topic. For me, my influences change constantly. I really love fashion, and I'm influence by everything, people places, things, and especially different eras. 

At the moment, I'm really into the50s,  60s and 70s.

1950

I use to watch I love Lucy when I was a kid, and always looooved the dresses Lucille Ball would wear. She was a beautiful fashionable woman of her time. While the 40s had more of the power woman feel because of WWII, during the 50s there was lots of propaganda on feminism. I'm pretty sure this influenced fashion and is the reason why looks in the 50s are very flowy and feminine. 

I love the bold statements the 60s had, and the gorgeous makeup, and hair styling. Everything yelled out chic. I love the bold patterns. Dots really make a difference! I tend to apply it more with Otome styles, just because the silhouettes and prints are most relevant to this era.
Also its a plus that some of the bond girls were from this era. They are all so gorgeous! I wish I was worthy enough to be a bond girl... but then again, most of them ended up dead /(OoO)\

 What I love about the 70s is the print. I love those tacky sofa prints. They look great with lolita in my opinion, and I think casual lolita would look great with some 70s influence. Also makeup was a lot softer but you can still note natural lashes. Its also a great look with lolita and otome styles!

These are currently my most influential eras of the moment. It may change in a few months, but its been pretty steady since last year.

Till the next post

Recently joined this super duper awesomely neat circle called Lolita Blog Carnival, which reminds me of my personal web building phase (in my early teens). There were cliques you can join and fanlistings, and cliques in particular were like affiliates where they may involve themselves in a group activity. This group picks a topic every week to speak about. A lot of my idol blogs are in it, and its great to be a part of it as well!!!

Other peeps that joined in on this weeks topic are:
