Hello!! It has been some time since I last wrote

Not too “much” has been going on, yet it feels like a lot has been going on (such is life… ), and I missed writing on my blog so I’m back to share a few older things! And yes… I am still working on my Japan trip posts… and my anniversary weekend one… eventually!

Just a light and small post for today, since I stayed up to 4am yesterday (thanks hyperfocus), I need to rest up early today!

I bought a few cute things over a while back

The white camisole dress + t-shirt set is from evelyn, and I’ve wanted it for a long time, so I was so happy when it popped up for cheap. I think it will be really nice to have both pieces for summer

The Liz Lisa setup I’ve also wanted for YEARS, so I was sooo happy when it finally popped up for a reasonable price, too! I feel like it doesn’t really look like typical Liz Lisa and it doesn’t appear that often, so finally I was able to snag it

I actually tried to buy two other listings of this evelyn top (at separate times) but my purchases all kept getting cancelled for some reason lol, but I got lucky with this one being around $10 and finally going through I paired it a few times with different skirts as it’s very lightweight and cute even if you wear a jacket or cardigan And a few pairs of new socks for summer

You can tell these were pre-tariff change buys because of how random the items are lol, but I really love glass cups so I picked up this Starbucks 2023 Japan design one since I’ve been making a lot of iced matcha lattes or electroyte drinks

The two Le Creuset cocottes are, for some reason, like $70+ over here but around $20 from Japan so I picked them up to make small portioned snacks as I don’t have any similar cocottes

Meanwhile, I’ve been continuing to convert some of my plushies into keychains or add decorations to them I find this a really fun and relaxing activity, and looks super cute when you attach them to purses I also get a use for all the random craft materials I’ve amassed over the years…

♡ Sweater: Honey Cinnamon ♡
♡ Shoes: Lodispotto ♡

Recently I wore my furoshiki sweater with my shirokuma bag and felt very matched

And yes, I finally got the Lodispotto pink platform loafers I wanted forever!!! I ended up getting 2 different syles of it since both were cheap, but this pair (I kind of feel ilke it fits my closet more) is actually size L, so I need to put in some insoles

For Mother’s Day, we went to Openaire in Koreatown (LA)

Every year, my cousin plans it with a few of the girls in the family so it’s just like a women & girls day (meal) out. This time, we went with brunch!

I ordered the spinach & tomato eggs-benedict, though the other food offerings looked quite pretty as well. Of course, the aunties in the group had to take so many photos the avocado toast was soggy and the food was cold by the time we started eating but alas

Afterwards, since I was already in LA, I decided to visit my buddy A and it was COOKIE TIME

Of all the cookie flavours, I really liked the seasonal lemon flavoured one best this time! My favourites change with mood, of course (all of them are tasty)

Got to peek at this joyful fresh oatly delivery

♡ Dress, Shoes: Liz Lisa ♡
♡ Headband: offbrand ♡

Wore my new Creamy Strawberry onepiece since it felt very summer-heat appropriate It’s extremely comfy though the fabric feels a little heavier and thicker than I’d expect for an spring/summer print.

I’m really happy I picked the OP from this release as it has such adorable details I normally don’t pick up onepieces from LL anymore since they’re quite long for my height, but I think with this design, the slightly longer length makes it quite cute

Anyway, I hope you are doing well I’ll leave you off with a bit of a photo spam when Didi and I managed to coop together in Nikki. It made me so happy
