I searched for almost an hour, to finally realize that it wasn't just one picture, but hundreds that made me fall in love in the first place. It was the spirit, the atmosphere, more than the clothes, than made me want to be a Lolita. When a friend introduced me to lolita, I went to look at pictures. I mostly found blogs (skyblogs (french reader will understand)^^'), where pictures where indeed showed, but where lolita was explained too. It was circa 2004-2005, and what we call "lifestyle lolitas" now was the regular Lolitas in these days. There were rules, not only about the clothes, but also about what kind of music you had to listen to, what kind of food you have to eat and not eat, how you have to behave...I was a beginner so I didn't know that there weren't real rules (but more like guidelines xD) but I loved it anyway.
The atmosphere where way darker than today's lolita. Even sweet lolita was darker. It was closer to the name "Dolores"...
Anyway, I felt in love with the atmosphere, not with only one picture. This is why I won't just post one picture, but some pictures and videos that influenced me when I started.
Most of these photos come from Gothic & Lolita Bible's snap, but there's also pictures of dolls and artworks.

I love all the photos from this website. Almost every style is represented, and every photoshoot is like a story.
From Fairy wish's website. It is just so enchanting <3
Artwork and dolls, as I said. I wanted to look like that doll ^^"
Snaps! From Alice Doll and GLB.(check Avant gauche if you don't know this awesome website already!) There's a lot and black and white...I loved this combination to pieces *-* I also loved lacy monsters and huge plateforms...I do miss this style even if I am not confident enough anymore to wear it T^T
And finally.... Mana sama. I used to be a huge fangirl of him. I loved Moi dix Mois and Malice Mizer. Their song, their outfits...it was magical <3 I used to choose a dress by listening to MM , and if it didn't "match" the song, then I woudn't buy it xD Ah, good times~
