Weekend Adventures

On Friday afternoon my husband and I went berry picking. I recalled seeing raspberries growing along a nearby path last year. They're black raspberries, actually. There weren't too many ripe fruits, lots of unripe ones. Still, we had a small haul.

A plastic container full of black raspberries. They are smaller than regular raspberries.

The raspberry bushes are feisty! Foraging is a lot of fun, so I don't mind the minor scrapes. I put these into pancakes the next morning. Saturday is always pancakes for breakfast and then I save the leftovers for Monday to make the first day back to work a little more fun.

After berry picking we went to go see Nope, Jordan Peele's latest directed film. There is something special about a horror film directed by a person known for comedy. Hopefully, he will direct more films! I am also hoping that there will be a director's cut of Nope because there was an entire subplot that was removed.

On Saturday afternoon we went to a festival. It was 30 degrees but I really wanted to wear lolita fashion anyway and so I did. Parasol came to the rescue!

The author takes a photo in the mirror. They have a skirt with pin tucks, crossed lace and ruffles at the hem. They are wearing ankle socks with cork sole platform shoes. The crossbody bag as a large bow on it. The blouse is short sleeved and has a pilgrim collar. An open parasol with ruffles is resting on their shoulder. The coordinate is entirely pink and white.
Parasol, headbow: Baby, the Stars Shine Bright
Blouse, socks, wristcuffs: Bodyline
Bag: Angelic Pretty
Necklace: Sweet Dolly House
Shoes: An*Tai*Na
Skirt: Design replica of Angelic Pretty Cross Ribbon Skirt

My natural hair looks okay with the giant head-eating-bow. Why doesn't my longer hair? A mystery. Speaking of hair, I am thinking about growing mine out again. 

An old school style felt suited for the festival. Sometimes, when out in public "going back to basics" seems best. Quite a few people complimented my outfit. One girl said she really wanted to get shoes like mine. I wish I had told her to "DO IT" and encouraged her but I was a bit overwhelmed :< Hopefully, I inspired her in some way because another lady had said she felt it was inspiring that I was just wearing whatever I like.

The only problem with a parasol is that you have one hand less free. Not terribly ideal when you are also trying to hold a Korean rice veggie dog (which was very delicious by the way!). I also had this Chinese charcoal baked bun filled with sugar and topped with sesame seeds. Wish I'd taken photos of the food but alas. >__<"


With all the events of the weekend, I feel like I've fully recovered from being ill. I'll be back to the office tomorrow (Monday) but I don't know when I'll return to the gym. Trying not to be too concerned about losing my gains. Maybe it will be fun to see where I am at and start again, who knows?

Getting the Dress & Things I Missed Out On

I did the reservation for BTSSB Millefeuille JSK in Bright Green x Ivory! I have wanted this dress for such a long time, holy crap. I can't wait to get it and try it out. I also purchased the Princess Drop head dress in the same colourway. Wooo!
This is a dress with thin sleeves. It is green and it is tiered with ivory lace trim. It also has two corset lace things going down either side of the breast.

Now, let's look at some recent things I slept on and missed out on buying because I'm trying to be better with my money (the pain!).

It is a blue and white old school Angelic Pretty dress. It has a peter pan collar, two corset things going down the front on the breast, it is tiered with white lace trim and it also has an odd trimming of white lace across the chest.
Who are you?!
This amazing unknown old school Angelic Pretty dress which was listed for an amazing price. My thought process was that if it's still there when I get paid, then it was meant to be. But alas! It wasn't meant to be. *I cry* But now I can immortalize it here in this blog post! Do you know what the name of this dress is? Please tell me, I'd like to know!

Next is this Innocent World Old School Margaret Lace Blouse:
An ivory coloured blouse with lots of bows and detachable sleeves.

I love it. ARGGGH :'( same thing happened with this piece as the one above.

Well, I saved my money... and it went towards buying the Millefeuille JSK instead!

Something interesting, is the similarities between the Millefeuille JSK and that unknown AP JSK. They're both tiered and they also both have that corset lacing going down the front. Is there a name for that style of corset lacing? I am also wondering how ivory the Millefeuille JSK is. In the photos, it looks pretty off-white to me.

It's not a good photo but I'm kinda lazy, sorry.
Also here's my coordinate I'm wearing today. I've been wearing lolita A LOT more lately. Which is awesome!
Coordinate rundown:
OP: Bodyline, Dot OP (?)
Bolero: BTSSB, Baby Logo Bolero
Head bow: BTSSB, Cameron Head Bow
Socks: Angelic Pretty, Toy Parade OTKs

The Current State of the "Spare" Room

I keep referring to it as the "Spare" room. My husband corrects me that it is "My" room. In our previous two apartments,...
