Catchup...

1.3.2025

Hello I have small happy things from the year before that I should share and post before I’ve forgotten! First off, isn’t this flattened Miu so cute? I had the opportunity to catsit her while my housemates were out, and she took so many naps on my bed

A while back, we had a quiet morning coffee at White Sparrow Coffee in downtown Tustin My manz suggested we could try this place as it was very close to the city’s library. I was so happy he remembers that I like to apply for library cards, so he always suggests the local libraries when I forget about checking them, so it made me very happy!

I really loved the cycling bird stamp on the cup

As for the coffee, I ordered the seasonal “Match-O-Jacks” matcha latte which came with a cute apple piece and my manz got their regular offering, “Love on the Weekend”. This place has such great espresso base for their drinks! I loved my fall-themed drink Downtown Tustin is also really lovely to walk around in… with how rare it is for surburban socal to have pretty leaves, this area has quite a few lovely spots.

Around Thanksgiving time, I did my nails for the upcoming holiday events. I tried to keep it simple since I really dislike the removal process of gems…

♡ Tights: Misako x Shimamura ♡
♡ Shoes: Evelyn ♡

Wore this white outfit for our family’s Thanksgiving gathering, though in the end I swapped the giant coat for something more indoor-friendly. My dangie introduced her daughter to the family, which was a lot of fun

I was so happy I snagged this onepiece from Evelyn’s 2023 winter collection for a great price! It’s a bit longer than my usual dresses but it is quite comfy, I’ve been enjoying it a lot for errands The only thing that’s a bit odd is that the skirt part isn’t lined, so if you wear tights, you probably will have to wear a separate layer so the tights don’t stick to the dress

♡ Top, Skirt: Michellmacaron ♡
♡ Headband: Pium ♡
♡ Shoes: Bubbles ♡

To be honest, I don’t think this Michellmacaron top is really worth it even though the design is cute, the quality is just so-so and the pearl strings keep falling down and broke on the first wear (easily fixed, but still) Oh well, we have hits and misses when buying online.

The skirt though, as with other designs of Michellmacaron’s double layer skirt, is incredible flattering and super cute! I waffled for a while whether to get Evelyn’s check patterned one or this one, but I got a great price on this one popping up

And sadly, my shirokuma rug got destroyed by the washing machine, so I’ve gotten this chiikawa one now… it’s very cute as well but I’ll miss my huge shirokuma face

I finally sat down to customize the icons on my ipad for the first time. I’ve always used the shortcuts to redo the icons, but they were rather ugly default ones so I used these pink ones!

As for my place at the manz house, we finally got curtains up after about half a year! This is what my mornings there look like (although I don’t have cookies every time… I wish!)

See you soon
