the future is the way of that
This is the long-awaited follow-up from previous posts about slow-fashion, mending, upcycling and thrift-flipping (link here!). I present to you, T-shirt upcycling featuring my large hoard of t-shirts I can’t really donate or sell due to bad condition or nostalgia. I basically have 35 t-shirts reserved that I almost never wear, either too small, stained, …
Here is another handmade lolita/otome top, made from Otome no Swing volume 19. I just wanted to sew something from the latest volume to be on trend, using this print remnant cotton I think I got at Michaels. It was at most 1.5 yards, a thin cotton with a repeating small pattern of Disney’s Bambi …
In a previous post, I listed two sets of Japanese fashion items on Etsy/Ko-fi for anyone interested, just so my shop can truly be called an atelier. The beige/white lolita skirt and bonnet set was actually sewn quite a few years ago and meant for a variety of sizes, but I never pulled off that …

For Labor Day weekend the last weekend of August, I made the drive to San Antonio for San Japan and the Okashi-con events there, including their Japanese fashion mixer.

[jumperskirt, hairbow, earrings: Metamorphose; socks: …
Kira Kira Market was an artist alley event in the suburbs of the city to the west of where I live, held back in the first weekend of April and I’m just posting about it now the last weekend of May lol. It was a cute event with indie artists selling arts and crafts, a …
Welcome to another International Lolita Day, first Saturday in December! I had the vague plan to dress in J-fashion today but it was cold and rainy and my mom came over so I was feeling lazy. Then I went on Insta and was reminded of ILD, so I decided to make a coord for the …
Here is my coord from the Okashicon at San Japan Japanese fashion mixer last weekend. The theme was “Spooky Sweetness,” and as Metamorphose Temps de Fille was the Japanese guest of honor, I borrowed a jumperskirt from my bestie that was spookier than any Meta dress I already owned. I crafted/decorated the hat and earrings …
Happy belated International Lolita Day! I always forget about the summer lolita days unless someone reminds me ahead of time lol. I did technically wear a lolita cutsew yesterday, so that counts as participation right? Today I wanted to show off a very quick coord of my Atelier Pierrot plus size jumperskirt in purple x …
