I just realized that when I wrote the introductory post I promised lolita links at the end, but completely forgot! I'm so sorry! Things like that just slip my mind sometimes...
So, to make up for that slip-up, here's a slightly longer post with more links and descriptions of the sites the link will lead you to:
www.lolitafashion.org -A very nice website with basic descriptions of all lolita styles. I'm not sure how the forum is, though.
community.livejournal.com/egl -the main base for the western lolita community. I've found the memories on that particular community to be so helpful!
community.livejournal.com/daily_lolita -A community where lolitas post their everyday outfits. Some of the people on there might not be the BEST examples of lolita, and there's an issue on there where it seems like quite a few people are afraid to give honest criticism ("honest criticism" being pointing out an issue or flaw with an outfit in the nicest way possible and possibly suggesting a way to improve it, not bitching somebody out for wearing cat ears)
community.livejournal.com/egl_comm_sales -Another livejournal community where lolitas sell their used stuff for a discounted rate (though lolita does have a VERY high re-sale value so don't expect dirt-cheap prices). Lately, however, there had been an issue with scammers.
www.avantgauche.co.uk -Now, this is probably outdated, but I remember when I was first getting into lolita this site helped a lot, especially the store-link section.
www.babyssb.co.jp -A nice Japanese name-brand store that sells lolita clothing (and my favorite brand!). Baby, the Stars Shine Bright also has a very cool pirate-lolita subline, Alice and the Pirates.
www.bodyline.co.jp -Sort of like the Wal-Mart of Japanese fashion, Bodyline is fairly cheap though quite a few of their items are of questionable taste and quality, though occasionally you can find a nice piece there for a good price (and they have gotten especially good about quality in recent years!). However, there is a sort of negative stigma with Bodyline clothing among lolitas, though I honestly could care less about it.
lolita-charm.blogspot.com -One of my favorite blogs from a sweet lolita.
fyeahlolita.blogspot.com- Another one of my favorite blogs, this one from a more classical/gothic lolita.
If you are curious about lolita, or haven't heard of any of these sites, please check them out! They're all great! :)
