I’ve posted about this quite a bit over the years on Tumblr, my main blogging site, but just in case anyone here is interested in the final (as of now) update regarding my online business attempts, my Etsy store, my vending at in person markets… Long story short, I’m giving up the dream of major …
How can I be confident wearing Japanese fashion or other alternative, non-mainstream fashion? Here’s a tip from someone wearing weird fashion for years… you don’t!

Continuing my previous posts documenting my hauls from small businesses and independent artists, this time starting from April to June 2025!

Continuing from my previous post of purchases in late 2024, here are all the small business purchases I made in January, February and March of 2025! First off is a batch of extremely cool and stylish fanart merch from Scum Villain and Genshin Impact and some original artwork from byLimonmaid at Etsy! Next was a …
Here is a quick overview of Misako Aoki’s sewing book volume 1! I am including a few photographs of the interior and my first impression thoughts for anyone interested in picking this up. I purchased this and the latest Otome no Sewing volume from amazon.jp and got it in about a week. You might be …
