mini golf date & new furniture


Dress: leif my tart jsk
Blouse: thrifted
Cardigan: sourpuss
Purse: thrifted
Shoes: bodyline

Alex and I decided to go have a mini date and play mini golf! We had so much fun, and the weather was really nice too. Unfortunately, my eyes were feeling crazy sensitive today, so I had to wear my glasses.

ahhhh he's so cuuuuteeee!

I almost beat him! My par was literally 2 more than him!

"Aleeeeeeeexxx! Can I have a redooooooo???"

Alex was sweet enough to allow me a couple redos, as I am a poor sport.
We had so much fun! Alex actually ended up getting... I think 2 hole in ones!

my cute lil kitty stockings! Meow!

Also, the past couple days I have been MIA because we have been moving in all my new white furniture from my room! I'm so excited! We painted it a very grey blue color. It's almost pastel. 

Alfie wanted to take a nap on my new bed

I just gotta save for a new bedspread, curtains, lamp, and some framed art work.
At least the most expensive part has been covered. Phew!

Some art I have been considering maybe putting up one of Camilla Derrico's prints and framing it.
I've always loved her art, and I've gone to her booth at anime expo for the past couple years, and still have yet to meet her! Hopefully next year. c:

it has so much emotion to it, gorgeous.

Thanks for reading!

Dolly Kei Inspiration

No outfit post tonight, I got ready in too much of a rush today. I just wore whatever I could find. ┐(‘~`;)┌ Today I'm just going to post a bit outfit inspiration!

When it comes to Japanese fashion, I've always been heavily into lolita fashion, but lately I've really wanted to broaden my horizons by experimenting with different styles.

One of those is definitely Dolly kei.

Love it, A line skirt with a cute little belt and little flares of red in there. Adorable.

I find the style very endearing and something that is a little less 'out there' when it comes to Japanese fashion.

Printed grimoire tights, peter pan blouse, houndstooth skirt with black and white saddle heels <3

Here are some other pictures of this style that I found really inspiring:

 
Lots of vintage flair in this one


More casual takes of the style.

Loving the socks and heels together! Very funky and cute!



I think what I love most about this style is it's accessibility to the united states. Most of the items from Grimoire are imported from the usa. I believe I might try and create an outfit inspired by this style in the next couple days.

More work, less play.


Sweater: Thrifted
Skirt: F21
Tights: Leg Ave
Shoes: TUK

I worked all day today and it was very painfully slow! I did get lots of compliments about my outfit for the day though! My boyfriend bought me this sweater and it's currently one of my favorites. c: After work, I came home and reorganized my room again, but it's just so crowded! Luckily, my mom was able to find an ad on craigslist for a whole collection of new furniture! So I'm crossing my fingers. I'm definitely going to be having a garage sale soon! I have way too many books and stuff I just don't need in my room. :c

I'm also really upset because my favorite mirror broke today while I was moving around my furniture!
Luckily, my boyfriend is coming over soon, that should cheer me up. (´;ω;`) 

Also! I'm going to dapper day this Sunday! 
So be prepared to see a great post about that, and also a video!
