Hello

It has been a bit of a quiet week though there’s been a lot to do As usual, I’m trying to catch up with too many things and struggling a lot to focus, but I thought I would at least sit down and do something for myself that feels nice (post on blog!)

So, I don’t have anything super amazing to share, but it makes me think of Hobonichi’s slogan: “Happy Nothing Special Day!” Even on ordinary days or ones that buzz on by, there’s still something about your days that makes them special somehow

♡ Top: GRL ♡
♡ Skirt: Michellmacaron ♡
♡ Shoes (not pictured lol): Evelyn ♡

The week before, I attended a work lunch and decided to wear this cute ribbon cape-like top from GRL There were a few brands that did a similar look in the last seasons, but I’m really glad I got this one! The fabric is very comfortable and soft but not too thin (sometimes rib knits are a bit too thin and show lumps easily)

As for this skirt, I’ve worn it quite a lot before. I love this style a lot since it’s subtle and has a little design, so it doesn’t look too dark to pair in my outfits

Recently, I’ve been slowly playing the new Nikki update

It’s been really lovely playing such a casual and cozy game - it really captures that feeling Even though it overloads my computer quite a bit (especially this latest update… my PC is roaring the optimization is not that good), it’s really fun to play in cute outfits in a beautifully crafted world Normally I don’t even like character customisation much because options that I like can be sparse, but I’ve enjoyed a lot of cute wearables!

(Actually, on customizable avatars, I normally like to look “strange” and choose options that don’t necessarily reflect my regular aesthetic )

I’m constantly blown away by how lovely the world design is because open world is really tricky to do well. There are so many details to look at and endless photo spots, it really feels like the world was designed with intention and heart

It’s still relatively new, but they’ve added lots of little cute details such as riding this carriage with your friend (or at least a mimic of them… lol). It’s so cute

The photo mode is really fun Most of all I just love that there is ZERO feeling of male gaze

A while back, I picked up a few new beauty/skincare items I’ve been using them already, so that’s why the lotion is sque-e-e-e-zed…

Some additional photos of the primer case & others I don’t really collect “purple” things, but the lip tint was just too pretty of a colour that I didn’t already have, and I suppose the case will match my lavender blushes!

Went to family festivities on Saturday with lots of visits and cheer! I didn’t have anything red for Chinese New Year, so I added this red bow I ended up wearing the boots w/o the fur, but otherwise I felt very cosy and comfortable! I’ve really grown to enjoy wearing these knit dresses because even though they look fitted, I only get them in soft and stretchy materials, so they’re actually super comfy like a big piece of sleepwear!

Sometimes for these big family events I get a bit worried about being splashed by food (fun memories of having red vinegar spilled all over my brother and me when we were young the poor waiter was so mortified), so I like to wear something that’s easy to wash and not too expensive or precious to wear…
