Thoughts:

I had been wanting this jsk for a few years now and was happy to get it a good price. I love the extra goodies the seller included. The necklace will be definitely a lot of use. The fabric and lace on the dress is of nice quality. The print has good detail/color too. It has a side zip and hook fastener. Even though it's a size L, I ended up maxing out the shirring in the back, which made the ribbon lacing pretty much useless. I may just remove it later. The waistline also sits a bit high on me, so I will have to re-sew/move the buttons down lower on the straps. The collar is unusual in that it buttons on in pieces. I was looking forward to wearing it with other dresses I have to change things up. Oh well. Also, if you are looking to get this dress and have long-ish hair *be careful*! Mine got caught on some of the buttons when I went to put the dress on. I'm looking forward to wearing this sometime soon. Hopefully the weather will cool down a bit more for that :-)

Mint Shoes Opening!

Hi friends! <3

Aside from certain dresses, shoes are another one of the more difficult items to find off my wishlist. I like certain styles, but to find it in the color and size I want without the price being outside my budget is quite challenging. As you may have noticed, I've been having mixed luck with shoes. I came across this mint pair and hoped for the best.

Thoughts:

These are so cute! I love the scalloped edges and heart shaped buckles. The color is more of a minty-sax but not too bad. It took a few minutes to adjust the straps to the proper length and snap them into place. The fabric is durable and seems like it will hold up well. I really like these shoes and wish I could keep them, but they were too small for me. They have been put up for sale Sold!

Create a Coord Inspired by Your Birth Flower...

Hi friends! <3

It's been awhile since I did a create a coord type entry. I had saved some interesting blogging prompts awhile ago back when the Lolita Blog Carnival had us come up with new and unique ideas. I decided to go with a prompt from Roli's Ramblings post which was called the Lolita Birthday Challenge. Original link can be found *here*. I did the second part of it.

Me Likes Tea- "Eleanora" Half Bonnet

Angelic Pretty- "Lacy Striped Sleeve" Blouse

BTSSB- "Snow Dot Ribbon" Jsk

Angelic Pretty- "Princess Damask 2018" Otks

Bodyline- Shoes283

Peppermint Fox- "Journal Page with Daffodil Detail" Brooch

My birthday is in March, with the birth flower being the daffodil. I was originally going to have a mint and yellow coord, but I didn't like how the colors looked together. So I went with yellow and white instead. Yellow was a difficult color for me to coord with as it is not a common color in my wardrobe. I have just one blouse and a few accessories; which I use more as contrasting or accent colors. I also challenged myself further to make the coord seasonally appropriate. While creating it, I imagined myself wearing it out and about on my birthday. However, things didn't go as planned and it ended up being more princess-y and suited to warmer weather. I do find the "snow dot" jsk name fitting; as it makes me think of seeing all those little patches of snow that remain just before the flowers start growing. Just waiting for winter to come to an end.

What do you think? Have you done a coord with similar colors? How did it turn out?

Snack Time: Tempura Seaweed!

Hi friends! <3

Trying out another item I picked up from the Asian grocery store...

$1.99- Tempura Seaweed-  Thailand

Let's open it up...

Mmm...

Nom...

Thoughts:

These were really good! The seaweed was broken into pieces with tempura batter on each one. It made a nice crunchy sound while eating. There was also a slightly peppery/spicy taste to it. I do wish there were more pieces in the bag, but it was not a bad price for what you do get. I would definitely get these again!
