First Meet of 2020 - Le Chalet


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!

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 which was pink!

I also made the 'adult decision' that I also needed an alcoholic beverage so voila! A French Martini which coincidentally was also pink!

My picture is a bit rubbish because of the back light but this was a VERY good afternoon tea! 
I chose smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches which were made on the softest bread! The scones were very big and very good. Out of the desserts I got the creme brulee and what I thought was carrot cake but it was kind of orangey? Anyway, both desserts were VERY good!

Now onto the look for this meet! For a brief moment I wanted to wear my princess sleeves and make Toast Hime a thing but that really needed more thought and is probably best saved for an OTT meet so I’ll archive that for later on in the year. I like to call this look Classy Toast-chan!

I'm V happy with this look and had a fantastic time at my first meet of the year!

So my lolita resolution for this year is to wear my frills more and go to more meets! Did you make one?

    Next time I am so getting the afternoon tea. Not complaining with my food, just saying that it looked delicious and great value for money. And with so many toasts, Toast-chan has endless possibilities - I've no doubts that Hime Toast could be one of them.

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

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

Attack of the Clones - Twinning Meet

Image
First things first, I've never seen Star Wars so this reference is wasted on me but I was V excited about this theme and had a great time at twinning meet! So who am I twinning with and WHAT are we twinning??? I twinned with Hana (Eden was an organiser but we were technically triplets!) and we decided on Whipped Magic! My flat lay with all the bits I planned to wear with Whipped Magic featuring a blouse and socks from Anna House that we both have! Unfortunately the day of the meet was a rubbish rainy one but because we had an indoor venue, that was okay and the time spent in the rain was minimal. Upon getting in I could see that the organisers were pulling together the last bits and pieces and people were already laying out their goods for the bring and buy. These brand skirts were ONLY £20! There is sailor, Mana help me! And that really beautiful set from Love From the North! And strawberries!!! Oh NOOO! Many yikes and walk arounds la
