the future is the way of that
I last made a post on gyaru day on October 9, 2024 (the date 10/09 refer to Shibuya 109, the fashion shopping center in Tokyo, Japan where you can buy gyaru-related fashion even though international dates would be 09/10???). Since things have changed in the meantime, specifically the blog I linked to no longer exists, …
I couldn’t really find where I posted about these 3 bags I made inspired by Misako Aoki’s sewing book volume 1 back in 2025, only the one cropped photo of the tote for my Etsy shop update, so here they all are again. Right now I am sewing a few more experimental one of a …
As promised, what the upcycled skirt from a men’s shirt (sewing post here) looks like worn! I also made a matching black bunny-bow headband out of the leftover scraps from the shirt and some elastic. Here I am wearing it with a blouse, earrings, hairclip, ring and socks all from Liz Lisa, the velvet shoes …
As mentioned in a previous post, I actually did participate in a zine already but didn’t remember lol, I was likely not physically present at any point so that’s probably why. My friend Cat organized a fashion zine about Austin lolitas years ago, and I contributed the cover illustration of two cowboy lolitas, overall the …
I went to Kinokuniya recently and bought both an issue of Egg (for gyaru fashion) and Misako Aoki’s Sewing Book volume 2 that I had been debating getting online with CDJapan or Amazon JP for much cheaper but with crazy expensive shipping, but now I could get locally at the further Kino for twice the …
As a follow up to my January post about zines, I finally made a zine by myself, copied and distributed to people in real life as I intended. I attended a free workshop at the local library a few months ago, and I made a quick collage zine about my favorite Vietnamese foods, with photos …
A few weeks late, but here is my coord for summer International Lolita Day June 6, 2026! That day we planned to triplet Metamorphose Cyber Neon Girl the black colorway, me with my 2 friends at the local art market near my house. We had fun getting photos with the adorable camp backgrounds, and got …
This post is all about thrift-flipping or upcycling a regular men’s shirt into a cute larme or girly style skirt inspired by Liz Lisa and Otome no Sewing! Since Joann’s has closed, I have been more mindful of fabric sources, and I found this old faded hole-y shirt of my brother’s in the donate pile. …
For “Me-Made May,” during which I work on completing things I made by myself, I finally finished a sewing project from almost five years ago, this ruffly underskirt from Otome no Sewing volume 16, which was published in 2021. I have no idea why I started it, as I don’t have any dresses or skirts …
Today I am posting about 2 new sewing projects I made from Misako Aoki’s sewing book volume 1 (reviewed here), a pair of hairbows and a beret! I actually made a ruffle heart purse from Daiso fabric already from this book but I can’t find the post, not sure what happened, maybe I only posted …
