Casual Crafts and Serious Photos

Yesterday we held a casual craft meet and I finally went about making some simple beaded bracelets and necklaces because for someone who makes accessories, I have very little jewellery - oops?


After meeting Hana at the station, we went and got some bubble tea for the journey - I got Peachberry and she got Rose Milk!
We were also distracted after coming across a great flower arch en route to John Lewis. We were exactly one minute late after taking pictures there xD

Bonus! I don't know which of the 'Classy' Meitu filters Hana used when taking this selfie but we look great and somehow, very old school street snap?




With everyone's contributions, I got a range of beads in loli-able colours and we got down to business! You were also welcome to bring your own crafts if you had a work in progress.

Overall it was a really nice, chilled out meet spend beading, chatting and maybe a tiiiiny bit of tea spilling? A really lovely Sunday that left my chill levels extremely high!

A bracelet and choker I worked on - hopefully the elastic will stretch over my melon head!


Victoria Quarter served as quite a nice backdrop for photos afterwards! Mind you, Leeds City Centre in general seemed to be on good photo form for some reason!


So I picked a casual and really comfy look for this meet. 
Once again trying to rotate my wardrobe, this blouse was last seen in 2016, the JSK 2017! 
(My Dad still remembers it from 2015!)

JSK - Emily Temple Cute
Blouse - BTSSB
Bow - Angelic Pretty
Shoes - Sosic 
Strawberry clip - After Midnight
Everything else - Offbrand
Bubble Tea - Bubbleology :P

We also lightly questioned what is casual. For me, it means smaller poof, little to no accessories, flat shoes and minimal stuff on my head.
What about you?

Comfy Coords - Lockdown Edition

Image
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 ...

Remote Twinning - The haberdashery is open!

Image
Welcome to another edition of remote twinning where Christina and myself twin in a dress featuring dresses that we have talking about for years! This dress by Meta is my favourite WfH dress because it's so comfy! I have also been informed that the other cut is ALSO mega comfy! I called this dress 'Princess Wardrobe' but apparently it's called 'Lace Up Doll'... does it have multiple names??? Once again, our wardrobes have little in common (it is now common fact that not many people own the things that I do ^^') we tried to pull together similar elements including a short sleeved blouse with peter pan collar, lace legs and out hair in buns! 'The haberdashery is now open!'  In honour of The Great British Sewing Bee (episode 1 was 22nd April!) and the theme of the dress, we took sewing/ dressmaking themed photos and I Photoshopped us together in a sewing room which we wished was ours! It was hard to get the right lighting ...

ZJ Story 2020 Preview Tea Party

Image
I first became aware of this preview tea party when the super gorgeous YamiHoshi posted snippets on their Instagram story and then I saw more photos from Chinese Lolita Updates  which excited me so I wanted to share my pick of pics (you can see them all if you follow the link to Chinese Lolita Updates' post) and my thoughts on them and hopefully you'll enjoy them! Ooo! This is SO aesthetically pleasing! Well! That's the first peeks of the venue and styling of the tea party. There's not an excess of pictures that I've come across but these are more than enough to sell it to me. Just that first picture and I am there! I know as a community a lot of us wish to go to the big brand tea parties (remember that crazy fancy one for AP in Shanghai?) but some Chinese brands are really pulling out the stops and I would 10/10 go to this!   So let's see the goods!!!  Please click the pictures to enlarge for the finer details! Ooo! Yes! YES! This is so ...
