Happy New Year!

1.1.2025

Happy new year! Poking back in for my periodic blog post to greet the new year, despite my… social “hangover” today (no alcohol involved; just a bit too much socialisation recently has left me feeling rather grisly all day) For a homebody like me, our house being the afterparty zone has some strong effect! Anyway, I’m grateful to hear such jolly liveliness even so - I guess it doesn’t bother me too much since it’s usually my close friends having a good time.

We went to a friends party for NYE with a theme (Movies of 2024), but I did not watch any movies that I could dress up as with existing clothes lol so I just went with a regular outfit

That's my jumelle's hand

Loved this minigame of pin the facehugger on the guy…

♡ Setup, Inner Layer: GRL ♡
♡ Hairclips: MA*RS ♡
♡ Bag, Coat: pium ♡
♡ Shoes: Evelyn ♡

I wanted this setup from GRL so badly, this was actually the second time I purchased it, and almost came close to having to order it a third time! - the first time in pink which turned out to be more like lavender so I decluttered it to get it in white, which I almost bought at the same time as the first set (but decided not to yet.) It worked out since I think the white set suits me more!

Then, either Buyee purchased the incorrect size or GRL sent the wrong one (size S) but surprisingly, I think this size actually ended up fitting me better than the pink set I got in M. I wonder about it because sometimes the size charts show just 1-2 cm difference between sizes but it really feels like it fits better… so I really lucked out

I was really happy that the inner layer (ribbon print white sheer top) turned out super soft and exactly perfect as an inner layer I’ll talk about it later in my year’s wardrobe thoughts, but I realised this year that I have a lot of issues with tops and layering - they can easily affect my skin and comfort if they’re the tiniest bit scratchy or tightly fitted, so I was relieved that I could withstand wearing this top. I’ve always wanted a sheer top like this

Anyway, I am still processing my thoughts on the previous year (what a wild one…) and (probably also going to be wild) our incoming year Honestly, I feel quite apprehensive and anxious about everything… even though in my daily life, there are so many little beautiful moments that I still appreciate.

One of my leading thoughts for 2025 is that I’d really like to refocus again on recognising those small beautiful moments. At the party, one of our friends was checking in on me & the manz and asked a curious question: are you romantic? Naturally, I don’t think I am, so I said no. However, thinking back at it, I think there is a sort of romance in seeing beauty (even if they are only small moments or tiny touches) in our every day lives. It’s why I really love to slow down and write letters and journal, and prettify ordinary things. It’s really easy to lose sight of it when life gets busy, mundane, or difficult.

I would love to hear what you are thinking about for this incoming year. I know this last one has been very difficult for many of us and it doesn’t seem like things are getting better, but I hope you can find some slivers of light in your daily lives too.

On a happier note, I’ve been really obsessed with taking photos in Infinity Nikki, although thankfully I’ve peeled myself away from playing it 24/7 I have so much fun with the photo mode! I’m really glad my aging PC can play it on decent graphics settings; the game has such beautiful visuals (let’s not talk about how barren it looks on my phone… lol)

Sending good wishes to everyone in the new year

Happy October… We had a really busy day yesterday, so I spent today focused on recharging. I don’t feel ready yet for all the things planned for this week, but I guess sometimes we just need to keep going. At least, I’m looking forward to spooky month

♡ Dress: Evelyn ♡
♡ Hairclips: Pium ♡
♡ Bag: Mellfy Memory ♡
♡ Shoes: Lodispotto ♡

Wore this Evelyn dress for the first time for our friends’ wedding yesterday. The fabric is absolutely lovely - it’s really comfortable and not scratchy at all, and an incredibly pretty texture in person. I was surprised that it looked better in person than the stock photos
