Hi friends! <3
Trying out this tea I got on sale from Tops grocery store.
$2 (on sale)- Stash: Holiday Chai- US
Opening it up...
Single sachet...
All steeped up in my travel mug at work...
Thoughts:
This was pretty good! It had a nice blend of spices and the rum flavoring made it a bit sweet. I think it would be great for during the fall or winter season. I might get it again.
Stars: **** (4 out of 5)
Hi friends! <3
It's time for the annual posting of my wardrobe!
I've been into lolita fashion for eleven years, and this is my eighth year doing this kind of post.
You can view earlier wardrobe posts by clicking the year below...
2020 // 2019 // 2018 // 2017 // 2016 // 2015 // 2014
This year, I focused on decreasing my sales pile and thinking carefully before buying more items. I was able to obtain nine wishlist items overall. Key wishlist items include Bodyline: Shoes521 (they finally restocked my size *and* had multiple colors available), along with Metamorphose: Cat Print Jsk (in my second choice colorway). So, I'm pretty happy about that :-)
I reviewed the wardrobe goals I set last year, and set new ones for this year too. You can read more about that at Wardrobe Goals: 2020 & 2021!
Note: Not much has changed in my wardrobe since last year, so I will be posting just the new items here. Please refer to the years linked above for more info. Enjoy! <3

Hi friends! <3
Shortly after I got my first order from the Lolita Collective, they sent me a free shipping code. I was quite surprised. Since I had wanted a few more things anyways, I went ahead with my second order.

Thoughts:
I am so pleased with my order! It came in two parts. One from China and one from the US. All of the items are very nice quality. The ring is made out of a shiny and thick plastic with tons of glitter in it. It fits comfortably on my finger. The socks have a fabric similar to tights and are soft yet stretchy. They actually go over my knees too, which being a taller lolita is a rare thing. The fabric is semi-thick and the pattern/design is barely affected when wearing. They do have a seam that runs along the sides. I don't think it is too noticeable with the light colored backgrounds. On the blue pair, the brand name is printed along the design, but then on the backside it is backwards. I didn't notice until I was reviewing my pics later. I don't know if that was done on purpose or an accident. The brooch is cute and was also on sale. I've gotten Peppermint Fox items before on their main site and they are great. I'm looking forward to adding these items to my wardrobe :-)
