Ordinary Lolita Weekly Vlog | Trip to Fort Saskatchewan, Embroidery & Baking Raspberry Cookies

Hello everyone~! Today's video is a Lolita vlog with collected days from mid June to mid July. It's the start of the summer/super hot Lolita coordinates so you'll be seeing a lot of coordinates become more hot weather appropriate. Lots of things happening in this vlog and I'm really excited to share with you what I've been up to lately. Of course, the reason why this video is so late is because I worked hard to complete my embroidery project and those take longer than expected to finish XD Let me know how your summer is going! There should be one more summer-centric Lolita vlog so I hope that summer treated you well and that you didn't melt too much in the summer heat.
