Hi I wanted to share a few fun things recently (or, rather, things that I hadn’t opted to share earlier but have been wanting to chat about!)

Okay but first off look at how cute this collab ended up with my friend magedark I drew this maybe like 5 years ago or something and he has finally finished up his part which was lining and colouring, which makes me so happy!!! Really have to admire that dedication! (It’s totally not because I bugged him to finish it, right). Anyway I kind of love doing art collabs but since I moved away from art community it has been a long time since I’ve done any!! [](/emoji/cat3” />

Finallyyyy after 3 years of jume telling me to go to Mat to dye my hair I finally went!!! To be honest sometimes I’m like super stressed about how plain I like my style but I’m really glad I went. Mat is hilarious and so fun to work with! Not to mention we can spend a lot of time talking about jume Anyway, I love how my hair came out and I was worried the box dye could’ve messed it up more but I think he did such a great job with it ;_; I have really missed having brown hair!

I think I might go slightly lighter in the second session later, but we’ll see! I actually quite like it as it is but for a summer wedding it seems nice to have it lighter

My brother picked up Fugetsu-Do mochi from Tokyo Central I ate it while browsing Rojita and thinking about how cute everything is. Ahhh I don’t know if I can pull off such a cool look myself but I love to admire

Got a few things from Liz Lisa recently and I am loving the sailor setup!! I’m so happy I sprung for it, though at first I wasn’t sure if it was too cute for me or wouldn’t fit… I was sold the moment Didi said it’s just like a ghost pokemon The bear sweater was a MUST (though I would’ve preferred pink the cream is quite cute!) but I haven’t figured out how to coordinate it yet as it’s quite large and strangely fitting on me (such is a life with sweaters), and the momonga cardigan is super cute but OMG I do not know how to wear it haha. I think I would love to do a kind of outfit challenge with it at some point to try to figure out how to wear it

April Tea Party

• fashion

Hello

We had our April tea party for the Himekaji girls

This month’s party totally snuck up on everyone! I totally arrived late to the party I was hosting thanks to grabbing the wrong earring colourway at first. Anyway, it was a small little group that joined this time with Reila and Lizzie joining in a little later, it made me so happy to see them too! Everyone is so sweet, it was sort of cosier knit than the bigger ones we had before and though each party has been lovely I think this was just the right size/level of energy for me this week as I had been especially low energy T_T.

The tea party was Fairytale Forest themed and the prompt was either to share about your favourite fairy tale or your favourite mascot characters. I tried to make it easy to answer for people who are not into fairy tales but in retrospect I think that not everyone likes mascot characters too! (haha) I got nervous doing my intro and jumped straight into how much I adore shirokuma and furoshiki but after thinking over it a bit, well, I don’t really know that many fairy tales. It’s kind of dark but I’m drawn to The Little Match Girl which I have something personal about so it’s kind of dear to me despite it being really tragic. ANYWAY, non-heavy fairy tales aside, I imagined this tea party to be cute, whimsical, and lit by little beams of light

For the rest of the day we hung out on chat while Sarah finished up the apron of her dress, and I had a particularly thoughtful conversation about horror which made me very happy also very classically me, I took a half-doze mid-call to recharge up my social battery before trying to get the XP-PEN my brother handed down to me to work (it did not end up working). It was such a fun day!

Outfit:

I really, really like how this outfit came out! Though I totally had to rush the hair in around 15 minutes and my hairbows were crooked for the entire tea party (hah) I’m glad it turned out okay. The outfit itself was incredibly comfortable!!

At first I wasn’t super sure if this was “himekaji” enough for a himekaji tea party but I was reassured by the others (sooo sweet) ;; I borrowed this inner lace tank + strap top/dress from evelyn’s styling. I used to own a lace inner tank like this from evelyn but sold it (I think… or lost it maybe ), I ended up snagging this one from CC for super cheap and it seems like it fits a lot more comfortably!? Anyway, I will totally be wearing this outfit more often ‘cause it’s very very comfy…
