So pretty! I’ve spent the whole winter in my pajamas, so you are really inspiring me to start dressing up again. :)
Aww I’m glad, you had a beautiful outfit at the meet up!
wow, amazing! I like your hairpins too <3
the way u pin up is very unique! can't wait to see your tutorial!
:D Thanks Pei! I’m hoping to do the tutorial this week!
loving the hairrrrr <3
:D Thanks so much Shmu!
Gosh, you always look so amazing! I love it! I never comment anywhere near enough (sorry!) but I do love your style. Gorgeous!
Aww Marianne, you are just too sweet! I never comment enough on your blog either >_< I do read every entry though and I love your style too!
I LOVE the undo! You make me nostalgic for my long hair :(
Thanks Ellie! It’s funny you say that, I’ve been nostalgic for my bob just like yours XD
OMG! I love ALL of them!! I love the first one w your hair dwon, and just curled on the ends..cool! I really dig the first skirt too – love black & white to death. LOVE the floral/hime heairdo’s as well – yes, a how-to would be good! It’s great that you modify your shoes, even when they’re by Wittner.
On the nails – which are superb – did you see Mitsu’s scans from Edge magazine? They did a set of nails for different celebs, showcasing their style – I think you could do a post on that too!
Haha Wittner at the super discount outlet store ;) I just saw the scans too, that’s a really good idea! Something to ponder on :D
i love the second outfit! and the nails :)
Aww thanks!
Love the hair! would have looked nice with my yukata for bon odori http://bit.ly/aDNOaS
instead i did a bun with the lovely hair piece that totally reminds me of you^^ http://bit.ly/boBaI9
How big is your wardrobe? coz it seems like you have infinite beautiful dresses!
Oh that would have been very pretty! I love your yukata, very beautiful! Your hair looked very cute like that too ^_^ Haha I have quite a small wardrobe compared to other girls I think >_< I think I just really like trying to coordinate things differently!
Love the new hairstyle!
Thanks BG!
ooh love the new hair! and I’d love to see a tutorial on those nails! I think I did something like it on mine but without the glitter :)
Oh awesome Rie! I will definitely be making the tutorials soon :D
Yaw Violet, you’re so stylish! I love the first outfit, the jumper is gorgeous and looks great on you!!
the other day I saw a picture where it was you at Loli-Secrets, it was saying that you’re one of the gorgeous and great lolitas from Melbourne, and I think it’s true; not only because the way you dress, but also and most important because the way you are <3
Aww Lib, you are so lovely! I’ve been posted to Loli-Secrets a couple of times now and they are not always that nice so it was good to have a change! >_< Thank you so much for your comment it really made me happy!
Cute as ever, I love the hair!
Thanks Cate!
Oh yes, I do love that hair. And that first outfit is really lovely. Who knew you could find ANYTHING cute at Target? I love the nails, and yes, I’d love to see a tutorial. And of course you have to dress up for grocery shopping! Who said it couldn’t be glamorous. You knitted that scarf?! Holy cow! I can’t even knit myself a stinking bean bag, let alone a scarf. Now on the other hand, my sister and my mom can knit like crazy. Anyways, pretty outfits! :D And your hair always looks so pretty D: You make me wish I could grow my hair out. It takes like a year to even grow a milimeter!! And my Hime hair always looks lousy because I can’t figure out how you folded that handkerchief *blushes pathetically*. Well, can’t wait, looking great.
Thanks!
Haha I think I find half of my wardrobe in from Target XD I think groceries are definitely perfectly good excuse to dress up too! Aww you should totally learn to knit, it’s a really fun skill when you get the hang of it! You’re a bit lucky to have hair that grows slowly, I have to redye my hair so often >_< Oh the handkerchief in the hime hair tutorial ok what you need to do is start with a square scarf, fold into a triangle and then roll it very loosely into a tube as if you were making a gangsta style bandana. Then roll that up the other way so it looks kind of like a square. Hmm kind of hard to explain without pictures. But you can use anything, if you have some fabric scraps you could use them, all you need to do is make a kind of squarish ball shape to cover with the fake hair ^_^ I hope that makes sense, just email me if you have any other dramas! <3
Oooh I can’t wait for that tutorial because I really like that hairstyle ! :D I think it looks really fun and cute :)
I also love what you’re wearing in both of those outfits. Did they help keep you warm in this cold Melbourne weather though :B ? Because I’ve been freeeeezzzzzing! I really need some warm jackets or jumpers T-T
:D Thank you! Not very warm, I usually just throw on my big red fluffy jacket though and that is suuuuper warm!
You look so lovely!! I especially like the first outfit, probably because I’m a total sucker for simple black and white combinations ^_^ You look really elegant <3
And I can't wait to see a tut on gradient nails… I've tried playing around with it on my own and failed miserably several times XD
Thanks so much Kari! Tutorials are definitely coming soon <3
All your outfits are adorable. And I really like the gradient nails. So pretty.
<3 Thanks so much ^_^
How lovely! Where do you get your hair roses? I’ve always wondered. They are so lovely and I would love to get some to do some crafting, but I can’t seem to find any like those.
Hi Crystal! I buy my roses from Spotlight which is an Australian chain of fabric stores :)
Lovely !!!! Oh do tell where you got the roses from. I will be in Sydney in 3 weeks and would love to be able to get some.
Hey Jaede! Omg you should come to Melbourne too! I buy them from Spotlight, it’s an Australia side chain so you should be able to find them easily!
I can’t wait to learn how to do your new hair style!
Tutorial this coming week hopefully!
Oh yes, I for one would definitely would love a tutorial! Your hair in all your photos is always so flawless!!
Aww thanks Celina! I’m hoping to shoot it this week ^_^
Gorgeous and I can’t believe your shoe modifications – they blow my mind.
Haha thanks Kathryn, I’m planning more as soon as I can get some money for more shoes >_<
CHRIST, you are creative!!!
XD Thank you Michelle! I swear I’m not that creative though!
I’m loving the curled ends of the hair look, it really works for you. Also, did you make the little cake bracelet or did it come from somewhere fab? Either way – Love!
Melbourne is so much richer for having the fabulous Violet Le Beaux living here – locals, shield your eyes at the brilliance! ;)
Aww thanks lovely :) Yep I made the delicious cake bracelet, I can do you one if you want. Hahah you are going to give me a big head!
Oh my gosh, I love that first outfit! Target really is great for finding hidden treasures, huh? I found the most gorgeous turquoise coloured, big rose ring there not long ago. I also have that same dress as you – the black with big, white polka dots (I recognised it in one of your posts and went “Oh wow! I have that!). Seeing it on you, I’ve been inspired to remove that awful tulle off the bottom of it. Loving the hairstyle, and looking forward to the tutorial!
ALSO, I really, really love that headband in your first outfit. Where did you get it?
I really love Target, you can find some really good pieces there though they are a bit expensive now that they are trying to go up market! Oh yes the first thing I did with the polka dot dress was rip off the tulle >_< It's so scratchy and makes it look very awkward! The headband in the first one was actually a gift so not sure where it came from originally sorry!
OMG those nails!!!!!!!!!!
I’m in love….like crazy!
I’m not a big fan of fake nails, and I’ve seen some pretty cool ones, but these…they are sooooo cute! >_<
Aww thanks so much Cindy!
oh oh dear violet
i fall in love with your black white skirt
and the flower pin too
u make me crazy about hair do
and really thx to you to create this lovely super cute blog

:D Thank you so much! I’m sure you have lovely hair <3 I am so glad you are finding things you like here!
