I have not written in a while, and I have lots of small, happy things to share with you Actually, I am super behind on sharing my outfits too, so I’ll just share a few here and there

As an aside, it’s spooky season now I can’t wait to look at all the cute houses near my manz new neighborhood. I wonder if they decorate a lot there?

Really wish I did my hair for this outfit, but I was really exhausted this day. I felt extremely comfy and cosy in this outfit though, which made me happy Liz Lisa is almost unbeatable for the cuteness & comfort factor. I think I finally found the right size insole for my evelyn shoes too since I bought the wrong size (heh… I bought those in-store after trying them on )

I actually wore this outfit a few times already, but it’s my favourite silhouette. I love this cardigan from MA*RS so much and I got a great deal on it at the time too! I’m really happy this evelyn skirt ended up fitting me since I really love the style, but was afraid it would be too small like most evelyn items - thankfully it’s comfy

Sweater and skirt This skirt is one of my oldest Liz Lisa pieces (part of a setup) and it’s gotten so much well-loved wear over the years.

This tweed-style double layer skirt from Liz Lisa overtook my brain when it came out I really love tweed texture Since I wear a lot of plain or nonprints, I feel like it adds another layer to a muted outfit.

We had to do a quick Ikea run and I really didn’t want to get dressed, so I threw on something casual and easy to wear… but got carried away digging through my closet I found this super old fake overknee tights that I figured why not wear? Anyway, the final look isn’t exactly something I’d usually wear as it feels quite dated with the tights but I like that it ended up looking a bit dressy without much effort

A while back, I found white loafers that are almost exactly in the style of my black Rojita shoes, and I had to get them immediately! Though… I’m not super sure if I like how they look on me after all Anyway, I don’t have too much to share about this outfit in general except I wear the combination quite a lot (this MA*RS dress + DML long jacket) - super comfy!!

I am really loving white and blue

One of my favourite purchases within the last year is this Pium dress I was really hoping it would fit me since I don’t have tiny measurements but thankfully not only does it fit, it’s incredibly comfortable and soft and I have no fear of getting itchy in this tightly-fitted dress! Wore this outfit out to an outdoor baby shower on a very hot day and it performed very well

Normally I don’t like the sensation of tightly-fitted clothes, so I have to emphasise just how comfortable this dress is. I definitely feel like I can sleep in it As for the outfit itself, I think I just want a black purse to go with it properly.

This Wretched Valley

Goodreads

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐★

Genre: Horror

Summary Four hikers on a research project disappear in the wilderness, only for the bodies to start mysteriously showing up... or at least, parts of them. B-Grade Horror Movie meets contemporary Dyatlav Pass

Opening Line What baffled them was the skeleton. The other bodies were weird, but they couldn't figure out the fucking skeleton. Just bones, no soft tissue: Not one scrap of skin left.

As an enjoyer of haunted locations, I really enjoyed reading this novel recently. It did fizzle out a bit at the end and I didn’t care for the last conflict, but overall, I couldn’t put it down. One of the cast is a rock climber, which I found really interesting, since my manz is into rock climbing, so that was fun!

Anyway, I thought this was a fun and easygoing horror novel, sort of like those “beach novel” types, I think.

For my birthday, my dangie booked a “big knit” class to take with me and we made these CHONKY knitted goods that are pretty trendy in Korea! Since she already made the bag, she opted to make a pillow this time, which turned out very cute

Look at them… don’t they look like a delicious bread

She also treated me to mokkoji (their vegetarian portion is HUGE!!) and her local milk tea place, Craftea We had such a lovely catch up over lunch, which was much needed since it had been over half a year since we last saw each other

Tiny new thing: I bought a portable battery to replace my old one since it was a hassle to use with multiple different converter cords… and decorated it with some stickers I’ve been saving for something cute!

I’m really happy with it, as it comes with two attached cords for USB-C and the one with the lines for older iphones (I don’t remember what it’s called…), so my manz doesn’t need to complain anymore when he watches too much youtubes while out and I have no cord to charge his phone. It also supports wireless charging, but I don’t really use wireless charging.

Anyway, those are just a few things to share for now. I’ll write again to you soon for other happy things.

March Tea Party

• fashion

In March, we had our lovely A Little Bit of Luck Party, hosted by dear Didi I really loved this theme, as she asked what kind of outfit or piece makes you feel lucky to wear or own. I love to think about these, so I put together my outfit based on this

I loved our little turnout once again

I realised, don’t I wear the twin bears knit quite a lot? I think it’s one of my favourites, for sure. It makes me feel very cosy and comfortable, which I feel like is a bit hard to find since I don’t like the touch of fabric sometimes. I paired it with the skirt from Many Hearts setup, which I felt lucky to own since this setup originally sold out quite fast but thankfully, reran as a short sleeves version and so I was able to snag this!

The outfit made me feel very happy

After our tea party, I hung out with my guy and we ended up eating at Shinsengumi for a date night. Funny, but I don’t think the food was very good? I always thought Shinsengumi was at least okay, but my guy reminded me that last time, I didn’t like my veggie ramen either (LOL)…

I ordered the “soy milk dandan udon” which was on their veggie menu, but I’ve never had anything that tasted like this before… to be honest, it was quite difficult to eat.
