Rosa Nitida ~ Shining Rose

Thank you for @atelieriohaapala for one of the most beautiful photos of ever taken of me in 2014! <3 Such an honour it was to be photographed by as talented and as approachable people that you are. So my most sincere thank yous for that. <3 *would hug you, if I could* --- Nevertheless, this year by default hasn't been an easy one for most of us. I hope everyone is doing alright and I wish the best for all of you. <3 For me.. Well, very honestly, I have been out of my mind (literally), and not because of COVID but because of personal issues that I can't really even talk about publicly (I am afraid of being sued, if I do) - this might explain my absence, ONCE AGAIN, and will to keep everything to myself by default (even from some of closest people in my life - and that is freaking tough). *sobs* --- All this hurts, and even if I wish to be closer to a lot people, I really cannot do that... But, but, you know, let's just say that I am working on something beautiful that I wish to share with the world at some point. I wish to share the beauty that I envision... Much love from my self obtained solitude, Iira <3 #gothiclolita #gothic #lolitafinland #eglFinland #rosanitida #atelieriohaapala #lolitafashion #egl (at Helsinki) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGdUzIQD69E/?igshid=1dcj8fx5wyaae

More photos from out OTT Sweet lolita meet up here in Helsinki! <3 First of all, sweet lolita is certainly not my forte because: a.) I am very tall, 6ft1 or 186 cm to be exact (that's why my belt is covering the lack of bodice length) b.) I am stuck with my gothic tendencies --- Ahh, my heart is filled with sweet memories with you all. I hope everyone else had a wonderful time too! <3 Being me (scared of people by default), I don't say it often enough, but you all are very precious to me & you are simply the best! <3 Time after time you bring more hope to humanity into my life. My most sincere thank yous for that. <3 -- Special thanks to @ankhensenamun for all the support and inspiration. <3 And for @maristola for derpy selfies galore of the day. <3 --- So yeah, as for the outfit: OP: Angelic Pretty Headbow: Angelic Pretty Belt: Rosa Nitida (@rosanitida_rn) Everything else: handmade (Rosa Nitida) *superhugs* #sweetlolita #angelicpretty #lolitafinland #eglfinland #rosanitida #talllolita (at Helsinki) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF6zNaPjt4y/?igshid=1foj65ddwpwpt

Thank you, dear frillies, for bringing your most beautiful and fun selves to our OTT Sweet lolita themed meet up! You are the best and I can't wait to see you soon again! <3 Until then: *many warm virtual hugs* --- Must say, though, this was the most challenging theme for a lolita meet up in a while (my gothic heart nearly forcefully pushed itself through aesthetically no matter how hard I tried)! Whew, might have survived, though! --- Just an awkward selfie for now, but will certainly post more later. Wearing: mainly Angelic Pretty and handmade (Rosa Nitida). #angelicpretty #sweetlolita #rosanitida #lolitafinland #lolitafashion (at Helsinki) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF474rEDVHO/?igshid=orgdkv4umi04

"Every Rose has its thorns." -- Words are propably my very biggest weakness due to intentionally isolating myself from others for quite some time. This time was needed but came with a cost... -- You know, words... Words are an odd invention. On the one hand they bring us closer to people and the world, but, on the other, they evince the gap that separates us from all of that. --- Words allow us to grasp the world l and try to comprehend it, and, on the other, they make it obvious that we can only aspire to that: an impression, a trait, something we wish to convey to others. --- How far does the power of words go? Could they be less than what we usually attribute to them? --- Words are powerful, but actions speak to themselves. As a mere human being, I would hope that more Action itself would take place especially now that many are suffering from the pandemic. Showing genuine care for each other and the world that we share, this place of a Tellus would be a much better place to live in. I know I am saying very generic things, but good values in life can be never emphasised enough. #rosanitida #dontcloseyoureyes #gothic #artnouveau #helpeachother (at Helsinki) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE2KXK4Djah/?igshid=1vtnbyu7tkxum

Rosa Nitida - Sewing lolita and aristocrat again? IG live 17.5.2020

Also, thank you, sweethearts, for sharing your time and giving me all these chances during these past weeks to slowly come out of my shell. *hugs*

Go check my instagram @iiraliina for better view. From few days ago. Moitie, Atelier Pierrot and handmade (Rosa Nitida). The oudoors outfit on the left is missing an Atelier Boz capelet, Metamorphose parasol and handbag with several chain ornaments attached. Had a blast at a gothic party, Infektio, here in Helsinki with some truly great friends and people. Enjoyed a nightful of sewing before pulling on lolita after a long break from the fashion once again. Should do this more often - so very energizing! Thank you sweethearts for giving my tired mind a good reason to rest and enjoy the same things which used to bring me so much joy in the past. I appreciate you all very much. <3 *kisses* #moimêmemoitié #atelierpierrot #atelierboz #metamorphose #rosanitida #kurololita #gothiclolita

I made a hat! Another Rosa Nitida hat commission finished. Thank you so very much for giving me an opportunity to do sewing again - I couldn't het more delighted from this. Sewing can be tremendously empowering! This particular handsewn hat has a velveteen base and roses, plenty of black Venetian lace and feathers of several sorts, golden chain, pendants, buttons and pearls. The beils are detachable and constructed out of chiffon and raw silk. What are you thoughts on this piece? Hugs, Iira Lots

What the... why do I look so pregnant? Hah. Outfit rundown: - Gilet, bolero, dress, skirts x 2: Moi-meme-Moitie - Umbrella, bag: Metamorphose - Hat, rest of the several skirts, shirts and other accessory: self-made and off brand Photo by Heini Illukka. Thank you!
