Make It Pink!

Gosh, I don't know how I only just got to it but here we are, I'm finally writing a post for our International Pink day meet on 23rd June!

The last time I went to a meet for International Pink Day was a whooping 6 years ago in York (*我的天啊!) and we still joke that someone secretly changed the theme because everyone but the host was Asian xD

This year I decided to host it in York again with plans to have lunch in Ippuku Teahouse (a firm favourite of mine at this point), take some nice photos in the Museum Gardens on my SLR and finish off with some casual cocktails should anyone fancy! To mark the occasion, I even decided to wear the same dress I wore 6 years ago!



Sweet Mana, talk about travel issues! The trains were doing their troublesome thing and mine was delayed without any indication of when or if it would turn up. Just under 40 minutes later it decided to show up and I was finally on my way and late to my own meet.


*** internal screaming ***

Funnily enough, 6 years ago my train was cancelled so I was an hour later to the meet - is International Pink Day cursed???

All was well once we got to Ippuku Teahouse (Hana was also late, why is it always us???) all was well and I ate too much and needed freeing from my corset lacing - thank you Beccy!


Teriyaki Tofu Don Set 

Matcha White Hot Choco with all the toppings (my flake is swimming) and Matcha & Strawberry Roll Cake!
I don't know why I bother looking at the menu - we all KNOW I come here just for this drink!

Is a trip to York complete without a quick nip into The Yorkshire Soap Company and The Imaginarium? Absolutely not!

Most Embarrassing Behaviour!

Finally it's photo time! Look at everyone's glorious pink looks!!! People asked me for pose suggestions. I suggested 'classic sore tooth' xD
Leading the way xD

Lucy - 'classic sore tooth' 1!

Rachael - 'classic sore tooth' 2!

Hana doing aviation things

Kathryn wore a pink lip! I'll allow it!

It was really interesting to see what everyone did with the colour pink from fully embracing it to mix and matching to 'I'll try my best to pop some in!' 


And to top it all off with a big Leeds bow, we went to get cocktails! We got 2 pitchers of Cherry Bakewell - ALWAYS a would drink again!


And last but not least, here's my coord! Thank you for helping me take such a good pic Paulina!

 Have you ever had an International Pink Day meet? If not I recommend it! It's a great challenge and why would you NOT celebrate pink, right?

    If you didn't go to Imaginarium and Yorkshire Soap, then you haven't been to York, that's the rules.

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 ...
