Things I do that no one will ever care about to notice: iron my shoulder strap lace. The left strap is before, the right strap is after.
Holding up two shoulder straps, where one has crumpled lace and the other one has lace ironed and flat.

Autumn/winter wardrobe is up.
Lots of dresses in various patterns and colors packed in a wardrobe. Some of the patterns are floral, some are tartan, the rest are black and white.

Shrinkflation has not affected Meta’s propeller headbows.
A comparison of two headbows: one white with black pattern against a white background adorned with white lace and another in a flowery tapestry pattern. The white one is significantly larger, maybe twice as large, as the other one.

Bought one (1) blindbag and just ran with it.
A Hello Kitty shaped figurine in yellow and green colors. The head of the figurine is transparent and contains yellow flowers. The Kitty figurine neatly placed along my lunch: a macaron, a latte and an avocado toast. The Kitty figurine placed in a transparent bag with green edges, the bag filled with pastel pompoms. The bag is hanging from the side of a bigger handbag along with a plushie Pompompurin charm.

Going through old photos and saved images and found this old gem.
Original Star Trek Kirk and Spock to the left looking up at a high angled camera. Someone has photoshopped them wearing dusty pink roses in their hair. To the right, 2009 Star Trek Kirk and Spock in a similar photographed angle but instead of roses they were frilly large headbows. A text along the bottom says: ”Classic is better”.

2004 Bouquet Print has a warmer tone in it than 2024 Antique Bouquet. When these dresses are back from alteration I would love to do a more in depth comparison.
Two pink dresses with a striped motif containing flowery medallions. The one on top has a warmer tone, the one on the bottom a cooler tone.

Mending my bloomers that were worn out. Not a beautiful piece of work but still.
Patched up black bloomers.

To think I’ve worn this hoodie for 14 years and today I replaced the cuffs. I look forward to at least 14 more years.
The sleeves and newly attached elasticized cuffs of a Batman logo patterned hoodie. For comparison I’m holding the old elasticized worn out cuffs in my hand.

I just received the new Meta plus sized cardigans. I only tried them on quickly but it feels indescribably good to wear something that actually fits well.
Two long sleeved cardigans against a wooden floor. One in red, one in white. There are frilly details around the collar and the cardigans tie closed with a ribbon.

Successfully glued my copy of GLB 19 together. From being totally separated in to two parts, the magazine is now easy to flip through again. I’m glad I gave this a chance on restoration since I got this issue for very cheap.
An opened magazine, one part to the left visibly broken apart from the spine. The same opened magazine, now with the parts glued together.

I thought the AtePie tote would be more practical with a shoulder strap. So I attached one. In the near future I would also like to add an inner pocket and reattach the zipper to close from right to left (now it closes from left to right).
Black heartshaped tote bag with frills along the sides. Atelier Pierrot is embroidered in gold on the front along with a crown. A plushie charm of Pompompurin is attached to the bag. There is also a long detachable strap on the tote bag.

Went to look at the cherry blossoms the other day.
Full body shot of me among the cherry blossom trees. I have long black hair. I am wearing a white dress with red and pink details, white lace topped knee socks with red bows in the lace, white long sleeve blouse with intricate lace details, white shoes and a purple fur poncho. In my hair I have a white headbow. I am carrying a pink handbag. Another full body shot of me taken in the mirror at home with the same outfit I’m wearing in the photo of the cherry blossoms. I am not wearing the poncho in this photo which then means more details of the dress are visible. There are bows along the bodice of the dress, the print on the skirt part is of buildings.

A long while ago I saw someone had put their favorite plastic bags in a binder. So I decided to do the same with the plastic bags I have collected from lolita brands and stores.

The satisfaction of completing the whole mending pile. Buttons have been replaced, shoulder straps have been moved and collars have been adjusted.
A pile of folded dresses.

When I say that I miss older lolita garments construction, this is what I mean. I had to replace the buttons on the straps of this JSK from 2008 and the choice of buttons back then just added a little bit extra care for details than solid colored buttons.
Zoomed in on the back strap of a black dress with white lace and white embroidery. I have sewn a solid colored black button to the strap and comparing the new button to the old button. The old button has a marbled black/grey effect.

Spring and summer wardrobe is up.
Several dresses hanging tightly packed in a clear space. There are hints of mainly floral patterns in mostly black, beige, pink and brown tones.

La Luice is teasing a poodle bag. Look at that mlem.
A screenshot from Instagram showing a dress form displaying a black long sleeved dress. In front of the dress on a white table is a black and white poodle shaped bag with a red tongue sticking out slightly.

Finally dedicated some time to mend the holes in this crunchy old lace on a Meta OP.
A detail of the end of a sleeve of a black dress. The sleeve is adorned with black lace and there is a hint of a ribbon tied in to a bow.

Full back shirring also spotted on this AriPai OP. This is also the Captain Chris under the sea print.

I am also seeing various degrees of full body shirring and full back shirring on some JSKs, especially surprised by this one which seems to be a fully body shirred print.

Mermaid tail pouch for Captain Chris?! This is most probably the under the sea themed Chris print of the season from Alice and the Pirates.

I recently discovered FreenBecky and I am trying to be moderately excited about it. I am kind of failing.
Thai actresses Freen, to the left, and Becky Armstrong are pictured in matching black and white outfits against an orange background. Freen is looking towards the camera, hands in her pockets. Becky has placed her arm on Freen's shoulder and is looking at Freen.

The scream Ai-chan scrumt when getting the jackpot in her AP lucky pack is 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Screenshot from Wonder Tea Party on YouTube. Four lolitas sitting in a couch with a glass table in the front, opening a lucky pack. The most left hand lolita is holding up a white blouse. The second left hand lolita is very excited over seeing a pastel colored dress that the lolita to her right is holding up. The lolita on the most right hand is holding up accessories.
