Oh no! It's November already...

Happy Halloween!! A little late I know, but I celebrated it all month I tell you! My Hubby and I went off to Disneyland for our 9 year anniversary and had a great time!! There was a lot for us to do and enjoy- and did we ever! I picked up some neat things along the way, like these Mickey pumpkin cup, and this special edition Haunted Mansion and Nightmare before Christmas spoon. As far as classic things, Hubby and I got our traditional ears with our names in gold. Then I got all sorts of cute ears, Marie ears, Pooh ears, and Minnie Mouse ears! Huge collection :) ( I wore my glasses because the day we arrived my contact tore and I only had that pair with me ;.; fail!)
Did I both to dress Lolita? Not really, I brought lolita items, like my Emily Temple Cute tanktop in the picture above. I did wear my Metamorphose Marine JSK, and a lot of people liked it. I did not put a whole bunch of things with it though. I wore flip flops everyday to the park.

Before heading off to California I went the opposite direction, Canada! To visit my friend K for her Bday! She had a small gathering of local lolitas come as well to High tea.
Us looking all Fabo! K had also come back from Japan earlier and I had special items awaiting me. My white medium sized Usakumya and friends Sophie JSK with matching socks, yellow ribbon socks, and Chico- my new mini pink Usakumya! Not to mention, she was super awesome and picked up Totoro hand towel and wash towel for me- it's absolutely adorable.
I brought up my yellow Judy JSK, borrowed the Angelic Pretty headbow from K, my cardi is from GAP with Baby wristcuffs attached. The yellow ribbon OTK socks K bought for me in Japan by Baby an my AatP shoes you cannot see :( It was pouring on Satuday! I brought my Baby umbrella with me, but really didn't use it. I had the Chammomile tea, and was it relaxing. Everyone kept commenting how space cadet-y I was. Actually they were broken doll comments but I was just space cadet'n' :B

When we came home we relaxed, but it was back to work shortly. On the 30th though, Friday, we took Buddy out for his trick or treating. He did both ;D and had a great time, and a huge haul!! He was so adorable in his Banana costune :) Buddy won runner up on #cutepics for PeoplePets on twitter. You can also vote for Buddy in the Howl'oween costume contest we took him too! Email you vote to Dogs@ArtisPhotography.com before Nov 7th to be counted :)

Otherwise, my Halloween night included passing out bookmarks provided by my work for kids in the Mall. I was seriously swarmed by trick or treaters! Kids were everywhere and I barely got a chance to breath haha! It was great fun, by the time I got home though there were very few trick or treaters in my neighborhood, Hubby had the huge rush as well.

It's November already, and I was going to get started on sewing projects, particularly cosplays for next spring and other lolita items. Only to find out my serger has gone out of me again. Ooooh that lovely gridning no motion thing. I'll have to wait after this month to see where I am.
Ahhh November already, I better get started of gift making!!

In love with Fall

I love fall, it's the time for harvest and baking, canning, and jarring to preserve! I've been sharing with my coworkers, from scratch home baked blueberry muffins from our summer exploits. My Mom has 3 huge blueberry bushes in the back. They produce dime sized blueberries at time and in abundance. There's always bags of them in her freezer and I'm always welcome to them to try and keep the cache low. I also have been trying my hand at apple pie, still getting down the recipes, but it still tastes great- so says my co-workers and Hubby :)

I get emails from William Sonoma about the latest things they're carrying. They showed me these great pocket pie molds!! What a cute and awesome idea!


While out, I stopped by Daiso to pick up some falsies!

Awesome charcoal nose strips to detox and remove congested pores. Crap liquid eyeliner that I swiftly tossed out after giving it a try on the back of my hand.

Want to see how the lashes turned out?



Recently discovered : April March, she's awesome check out her music!

Oh Gee Golly...

Sorry guys, I really have been gone for some time. I've been preparing for my October vacation. Saving, yet not.

Baking with some apples my Mom bought for me in Wenatchee, and using up a lot of blueberries from the end of the summer. There's a lot I want to do in my one day off tomorrow. I'll see how it goes.

I picked up the Judy Usakumya JSK that I was lusting after when Baby visited from InnoSera, unfortunately they changed up the design so I was slightly disappointed. It's also a bit tight on me... hmmm...

Like I said, I've been really concerned with my October vacation! Our first stop is Vancouver, Canada to visit my friend K. We'll be celebrating Her birthday, hanging out with the local lolita crowd, then heading back home, only to take a flight off to California! Yeeah!- No driving for us this time around haha!
Hanging out in Disneyland for their Halloween set up and fun! So. Absolutely. Excited.

End of Story- super excited!!

Tomorrow I hope to do a more decent update. I'll type more then!

Watching new JDrama's and eating Raisinets

Remember a while back I was talking about Otomen? Well I've been meaning to bring it up again. For one in the second book it involves a lolita! Not your shining image of one per say- but a lolita none the less. It's a cute scenario.

Otherwise, the series is just plain wonderful and fun! What's even better is that it's been turned into a JDrama!! You can see the first couple of episdoes on youtube right now! It's not translated though.



Fastinating!

Lovely Meta coat is Lovely~

Disneyland is a Go! We're making plans and time is already OKAY'd! So excited!!

School Season

I sure am ready for fall. Not to say I hate summer, but it does restrict the amount of lolita I wear. Though this year I have picked up some particularly spectacular pieces. Not to mention looking back I've done some awesome things I would have never done or experienced without lolita- and it's not even the end of the year yet.
Though fall is dawning- and I am very excited. This is when Lolita picks up the most, when bright, young, new lolita's venture forth into school to show off who they really are inside and out.
I, on the other hand, have been prepping students young and old alike for going back to school. I personally am hoping to go back to school at a later date. I did attend an art school for Fashion Design a couple years ago, I have been busy with my life and hobbies *sigh*~
I digress- I'm really looking forward as my friend K is going on vacation to Japan this upcoming Friday! I'm excited for her as well as jealous! She's always so kind and picks up up things I want that I haven't been able to get my hands on. K bought my Innocent World bear dress for me while she was there last! I'm keeping my requests much more minimal to save money and her own wallet hahaha! Can't have it all- a binge shopping spree at the new Baby and more goodies from Japan!

What I do have in store personally, is a vacation of my own- a real vacation!! I've been wanting to go to Disneyland for years! Now I have my chance. My Hubby and I specifically chose October to go in. It's the month of our Anniversary as well as Halloween! Disneyland will be decked out in all of it's Halloweeny goodness, and I shall FROLIC! Of course report back on all my doings ;D

The other day I dressed up in my BtssB lucky pack cutsew and socks, as well as my Shirley Temple wool skirt and AatP shoes. It was a very uneventful day for me- other than grocery shopping. Somehow I managed to look like a Catholic school girl in my knee high crested socks.
When I was going to school, my Bestfriend and I would chat on the phone for hours discussing what we would wear on our first day back at school. I probably would rarely wear lolita to school because I took art classes and would be known to show up to class with paint on my face. But you lovely lolita's out there- what are you wearing back to school?

Dailies!

Some recent dailies~

Yesterday I tried on my new AATP dress, seriously- this is just throw on :)Half blinked going on- I figured something obscuring my face would be weird- so here you have me with just eyes closed weird. Less weird I think... I love this dress, and only in the Antique white
With my recently acquired Meta telephone skirt. I like this color, and the blue and red version too. Maybe I'll keep my eye open for that.

What I wore when I helped Babytssb set up for their fashion show. I think it's one of my favorite outfits now Speaking of which, if you're looking for some cute things from japan, this is a good place!

From Japan with Love

You can find tofu plushies, bento supplies, tea cups and pots, and all things cute!!

What else... well here are some new links. I have yet to add some other new blog links to my blog link section to the side. Speaking of which I'm hoping to vamp this place up! I hate getting you guys all excited and then I take a million years to get things done! I promise, I'm working on it!!
