Nuit Blanche

Helping out my designer friend with his Nuit Blanche - The Art of Fashion collection.

I will be at Nuit Blanche this year too. :)

Back from the Dead

I have been really ill recently.

Had to undergo a few surgical procedures that really made me depressed. I shopped like no tomorrow as soon as I was able to walk, prepped for school, and my significant other bought me the iPhone 4. I may be getting an iPad from him very soon, too. :) Our 3 Year Anniversery is is tomorrow. :D

But, I am back in action now. I went to two Lolita Meet-Ups at my local community in a month which is usually rare since they are rarely planned so closely together. One was hosted by one of my bestfriend’s and business partner, Aya. We had High Tea at the Windsor Arm’s Hotel. She brought a friend, Shin. She had met at the U of T Go Club who is a photographer from Singapore (vacationing). He took literally hundreds of pictures of the group but he wasn’t going to be done editing until he went back to Singapore. Surprisingly, Yorkvillers loved our fashion and not ONE Lolita who came was in Sweet Lolita. All of us went in Classic Lolita or Gothic Lolita.

The other was hosted by Lona at Pacific Mall. But, I was still too drugged up to be really functional. It was fun nonetheless. We later met up with my childhood friend, Em, and took some professional photos. (Blogger is being a biatch right now so no photos).

Went to FanExpo to help out at a Lolita Fashion Panel for my friend, Nadine. She’s a video blogger on Youtube. I lent several outfits and also participated in the runway walk much to my shame. I actually wanted to run…a little freaked out with all the stares of so many eyes. Market researched with Aya at FanExpo and decided that it wasn’t really worth pursuing unless the management really stopped overcrowding the convention. It was so packed I couldn’t breathe.

I created a few things worth picture blogging about. But, not today. Aya and I got back into the Bazaar of the Bizarre Autumn Edition. I will once again be selling my things and my mom’s lovely Amigurumi. :) I’ll update soon with pictures, reviews, and tutorials.

School starts up for me next Monday, too! I am in the JP 2700 Contemporary Japanese Culture and Society class which is strangely twice a week. I’ll be dolled up twice a week, then! ;)

The Kapok Shop

Well, I finally got around to it! I started up an ETSY for my mom. It’s called The Kapok Shop.

It specializes in Amigurumi which is Japanese crochet (of mainly animals and food).

Check it out at the link below the picture!

Here is our first listing:

THANKS!

Bought more clothes!

You know, the only way to really control my shopping habits is to shop by NEED and WANTS. Judging by both, I’ll map out a rather large shopping list and then start doing some research.

Right now, I’m shopping for Summer-Autumn-maybe-some-Winter.

I already know for a fact that my Autumn and Winter wardrobe has been severely lacking the past couple of years. I have, who knows 3 long-sleeved shirts? I’ve been mostly relying on hoodies and cardigans to get me by. But, I can’t help but feel hoodies have become like my hobo-back-up. While my cardigans are being worn to death. So, I just bought some shirts off the EGL_Comm_Sales:

Both are rarely cute. Not going for anything too crazy during Winter - I have been known to give up on looks sometimes in favour of simply just dressing for warmth.

Got new booties!

So, I finally caught the UPS guy after buying these at the Spring store at the Eaton Center last Friday. :) New shoes! I have so many shoes - but not all of them are practical or waterproof. Spring was having these for $24 ($26.95 after taxes) and they didn’t have any in stock. So, I had them shipped to my apartment. They are perfect for many genres: Steampunk, Dolly-kei, or Mori Girl. LOVE IT!

I also just ordered from ELF. Many blushes. Can’t wait to get it. It cost me $30 for like 7 products when it would normally cost me $30 bucks for one product at Sephora. In a few hours, I’ll be doing more shopping. Within reason, of course.
