Can you believe I've kept this up and we're on the 5th post? Honesty, I can't haha but here we go!

Initial Reaction - I like this!

In four colourways and two cuts, this dress is nothing out of the ordinary but it is a real cutie! I love the retro vibe and the way they've styled the dress for these photos. I feel like you could do quite a lot with it and it's be easy to wear.

Initial reaction - A 10/10 jellyfish dress!

And in four great, on-theme colours no less! I 10/10 appreciate this! The navy makes me think of the Chérie Cerise jellyfish skirt so while that caught my eye first, I have a soft spot for the teal. The light blue would lend itself nicely to a jellyfish Princess look while the off-white/ cream(?) gets into wedding territory. Is this one for the archives? Maaaaybe not today.

Initial reaction - Welcome to another episode of 'I'm a bit meh about the dress but I LOVE the photos!' - why does this happen to me so much? 

I love the look and I love the styling. I actually quite like the dress as a garment and while I'm usually all over mythology things (especially tail foxes), this print isn't doing it for me.
Oh man... I REALLY wanted to like this but I'm just not feeling it U__U

Initial reaction - Hold my tea, Peonies are here!

I LOVE Peonies and I've always wanted a Peony print to happen (I designed one for Love From the North but it never came to fruit) so as soon as I saw this, I was like '!!!'
It also comes in boystyle which is exciting to Boy Rachel! I would 10/10 wear the heck out of BOTH these looks!

Initial reaction - what are THOSE?

OH! Ahahaha! They've chubby birds!
I'm not a fan of the dress itself but the birds are funny! They come in Christmas and Cherries?

Initial reaction - It's Gingham O'clock!

I love gingham, I should be really feeling this, right? Well, I was until I got to this funny two-tone sleeve that is MEGA noticeable on the red. You can also tell on the pink and green colourway and also the yellow when you look closely. The only acceptable one is the lavender. The more I look at it the more I wish it was just a JSK because yes. That would be a 10/10 would wear.

Initial reaction - Presenting: Fancy Bones

I am not NEARLY goth enough but I LOVE this! The simple border along with the statement bodice (which is stunning from the front and back!) is really striking. I also like the styling and Model-chan's make-up!

Now to top things off with a cherry, time for 'My Favourite Dress' and 'Most Wearable Dress'

My favourite Dress - Peonies Abundantly & Most Wearable Dress - Holiday Sweetheart

And there we go! So last week's favourite was actually the Ouji set. I have a soft spot for boystyle at the moment - fight me!

    Oh no, I need the polka dot dress - and, shockingly, in the black and white rather than the red one! :O
    The goth dress would look so cool on Jo, cementing her status as Dr Bones!

      Admittedly I was also quite torn between the black x white and the red!
      My thoughts exactly! It is SUCH a Dr Bone dress!

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 ...
