It's a Long Story

I absolutely ADORE all the remote twinning everyone has been doing but I have a weird ass wardrobe so it's hard to find twins ^^' However! Enter @cupcake_kamisama ! So our looks aren't totally the same (and my dress is the predecessor of her's) but we look like classmates and we're late as hell! Toast-chan reporting for duty! "Sweet Mana, is that the time???" 'Toast-chan: I'm late for anime school' is now a thing! - when do we get our own anime?  This one's just dumb but whatever, I had fun! So both the actual twinning and Photoshopping were MEGA fun!  I'm really glad we went with a school theme (the name of Paulina's dress is 'The First Semester') and even though our wardrobes don't have much in common, I think we did a really beautiful job at coordinating ourselves to look like we go to the same school! See Paulina's blog post [here] Fun fact: our 'anime school' is Queen...

Going to meets is my main source of human interaction outside of work and besides the occasions where Eden and Persie come round and have dinner with me, it’s the only socailising I do so the current situation has left me feeling a little… lost? I feel like my frilly weekends are quite a big part of my life so having them removed feels strange. However, I am going to do my best to not abandon my frills for the duration of this lockdown just because I’m not going to a meet! We’ve tried to make virtual meets a thing and since I’m working from home, I’m trying to keep up with what I like to call ‘WfH: Frilly Edition’ but you can call it whatever you want! Since most of the time will be spent sitting and poking around my flat, comfort is key so here I wanted to share some of my comfy looks so far! JSK – ETC Cutsew –Taobao Socks – Anna House Necklace – Angelic Pretty Brooch – After Midnight First things first, nothing says comfy more than a cutsew! That’s probably why ...

My favourite meet activity is eating so would I turn down a brunch meet? Absolutely not so welcome to a VERY late recap of last month's meet! After successfully confusing the poor waiter with customised brunches (except me and Persie, we’re not like that!   ^__~ ) we got our food and it’s EXACTLY what I needed! It’d been a fairly tame week but I treated myself to a cocktail anyway because it’s the weekend! Shortly after, we had a wee browse in Primark (I wanted to see if I could find the aesthetic domed brollies with the ruffles which they sadly didn’t) we went to take a few photos at the Corn Exchange. And of course, no meet with me and Eden are complete without a photo of us squatting together! Mistresses that squat together stay together! I’ve been thinking about selling this JSK for some time now. I feel like I’m maybe starting to get a little too old for it and I’ve already maxed out its potential. Let’s have a super quick look at the history of this dress...

Oops, a late post but here's one about the Galentine's Pancake Meet on 15th February ^^'  I had intended to go to Moose Coffee (I've wanted to check it out for some time) but unfortunately they didn't taking reservations so I changed the venue to Kaspas - pancakes were still on the menu! In the spirit of the theme, I went with a romantic red look and I'm mega pleased with my make-up!  Ta-da! Here's what I got at Kaspas!  Cream soda, the Strawberry Shortcake waffle (would eat again!) and the special Ruby pancake stack which I unfortunately just couldn't eat much of but believe me, I tried! It was V sweet and I was just so full of waffle... I wish they weren't a special item so I could try again another time. T__T Just some casual mirror shenanigans with Hana because the loos at The Core had a GREAT mirror and this is just a thing we do! It's been a long time since the last one. It was a horrible rainy day so following de...

Whee, 2020 is here! However, chances are that it’s a new year but it’s still the same old me and there will not be much (if any) improvement on the blogging front but anyhow, let’s start the year off with a report of the first meet of 2020! https://www.le-chalet.co.uk/ The first meet of the year was a relaxed and delicious one! We had a big turnout (especially for this time of year) and there was a whole 17 of us doing tea at Le Chalet, a French Patisserie and Tearoom. The turnout also involved the representation of different generations of the comm from the early members (I considered myself to be an early member of the group that day, I joined the comm in 2013) to ones who were active over the last year or so to those who were attending a meet for the first time! [image from Google] I was tempted by the waffles and French toast from the food menu (though we had to ask, is it cannibalism if Toast-chan eats toast?) but opted for the afternoon tea with Hibiscus tea ...

Does Taobao know something that I don't? Is this a hint? What's with all these dresses I would totally consider getting married in??? Pretty Galaxy - Antique Dress  Price: 489 RMB Sooo pretty! I love this photo too. If I was photographed like this someone would have to Photoshop me a jawline haha! It looks so soft and feminine! Great layers, great textures! I like that it's a soft peachy colour, it makes me think of the blush pink wedding dress trend. Also a fantastic price but the I'm a little unsure about the length. Is it that funny midi length? Hmm, either I need some big heels or an underskirt or maybe it will lift a fair bit with enough poof? 7/10 would get married in! *** This Time - Flower Goddess Price: 598 RMB Ooo! This is pretty! Not for my wedding but great sleeves Model-chan! Look at how beautiful these details are?! I Love the different textures and colours. It adds a lot of interest to the dress. Ok s...
