This diary really makes me seem like a daily lolita, but I'm not.. I have a kid after all. So real life definitely gets in the way.

But I still like to dress cute for daily looks like wear more casual brands like Emily Temple Cute!

I don't have any handy pictures at the moment because I usually don't wear make up for these looks :sweat: So many freckles!!!

I went to have boba with Michelle the other day on one of her rare days off.. and then we strolled around Ross. She ended up buying stuff, I feel bad since I was the one that brought the idea up, haha.

We both wore dark colors ^^ I wore Terence Rose JSK! It's really faded in areas.. oh well.

A couple of days later I went to my office. I don’t go very often since I work from home full time and am not required to go in.

I wore another purple dress! The name of this dress escapes me.. hm... I wore it with a brown cutsew since I knew I would need to be running around to the train and in the city and wanted to be comfortable. (Cutsews are clothing made of jersey knit)

I was supposed to do a presentation with the CEO in the audience so I tried to wear a toned down coordinate. I don't know if this qualifies. But I'm pretty sure my judgement of toned down... is completely wrong after having been a lolita 10+ years haha.

I wore purple for both coordinates so I wore my Saint Claire replica that apple made that is purple!

Not a big fan of Perfume, but saw that they had a new album. I like this new song from the album, gives me boss battle + old school Macross vibes. I love Macross and retro kind of songs (ala "Do You Remember Love?" Not that this song is that, haha ._.

P.S. Just made a big purchase of fabric. I hope you'll see more homemade goods from me soon :raisedhands:

Hello! Felt a little anxious last weekend. When I don't have a concrete plan, I get nervous that I'm not spending my free time well.

Actually, my house is really messy still since I moved here as I haven't fully unpacked. So I need to stay home and clean...

But somehow staying home makes me depressed >< Like I am not making good use of my time! So I'm trying to make my activities more balanced.

Friday

On Friday, I went to Target fulfill my chocolate marzipan needs! It's hard to find marzipan here to eat in the States and I was having a real craving for it!

Went with a psuedo lolita look. I wore a bustier by Mary Magdalene and a headdress by Innocent World. The bag is by Victorian Maiden.

I feel a little awkward posting non make up looks... hmmmm... Should I be meitu-ing the shit out of my pictures or just not give a shit? :shrug:

Guess I'll opt to not give a shit. I am older and have been in the sun a lot, I used to hike a lot so I have soooooo many freckles. Oh well. Some people say they are cute?!

Actually, the reason why I am showing a close up of my face is that I am happy that the sides of my hime haircut are long enough ^^ I love hime, but I also love curling the sides of my hair! Now I'm thinking of getting a perm again so that my hair is always wavy. I think that suits my face better!

Mission was a success! Unfortunately, I ate one of these in one sitting fudgeeeeeeee. I'm getting so tubby ._.

I got very sleepy and fell asleep, but as I was falling asleep, I was thinking of what to do on Saturday. I knew I needed to clean, but I was trying to think about how I could motivate myself.

I decided I needed a clean corner to do my lolita photos! So uh instead of cleaning, I got my camera set up ready, haha :hmph:

My camera isn't very new, but also isn't very old. I think I got this in 2011 or so? It's too old for advanced features like bluetooth, but also wasn't premium enough to have a pull out screen so you can see yourself when taking photos. So I just use a clicker and run back and forth frequently to see how the photos look, haha. I use it with an Amazon Basics tripod (lol).. uh I'll just say my camera hasn't blown away in the wind yet so that's always a plus.

It's neat though in that you can change the lenses although I only have one lol.

Saturday

I decided to treat myself to a nice breakfast since I was going to do chores or work today. (hmmm... when does the latter actually happen though lol)

Here's a photo in the old, hella messy coord spot.

I took a picture outside of my house. It was drizzling today and the hills by my house looked cooled with the cloud cover so low. I liked it!

I went to a spot called Lucy's Crepes nearby. I believe the staff are from Moldova. The place is self serve and you have to get your utensils, water, etc. yourself.

I enjoyed Syrniki pancakes! Not sure how to best describe them. Pancakes but with ricotta like cheese in the batter??? Yuuuummyyyyy

I was married to an Eastern European man before so uh I do like some Eastern European foods ^^ Although I don't think Syrniki is Polish.

I went home later and set up my camera and tripod. Sadly the lighting wasn't the best. But have some photos from my digital camera!

Although the photos didn't come out that well, I kind of prefer my digital camera over my phone because the colors feel a lot more accurate.

Have a picture with Kitkat too!

Back to cell phone picture.. holy moly my freckles and eye bags lol...

I wanted to take a close up picture of the Mary Magdalene Saint Claire Headdress I was wearing. The details on it make me so happy ^^ It makes me so happy for such beautiful details to exist in a headdress!

The colors feel fudged up in these cell phone pics.. blame the stupid software on these phones -_-

Old digital camera is better...

Actually my friend applesalad was able to source some of the original Saint Claire lace and made some custom colored Saint Claire headdresses for me... it was very kind of her. I love them a lot!!! It's a really precious part of my collection. Apple's sewing is so amazing too. I wish I could be this great one day...

She marked the brand on them as NOT MARY MAGDALENE, haha.

I feel thankful apple took the time to make me something I would really like. Thank you so much!! :pray:

Have a cute pic of Kitkat.. this is how he sits in my car ><

Plus walnut drew a cute sheep for me!

Thanks for being so sweet!

I've been getting a steady flow of messages on my guestbook. Thank you so much everyone... life is scary, but we must persevere. I'm glad I could cheer people up a bit with my little corner on the internet ^^

P.S. I got tickets to see BSB soon YAY!!! Maybe finally Nick Carter will finally ask me to marry him now... even though he has like 5 kids now and I'd be a home wrecker :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:
