Asa Ransom House Tea Take 2 Meet-up!

Hi friends! <3

Went back to the tea house again. It was supposed to be a larger group, but ended up being another small one after some people backed out last minute. I still had a nice time.


Lovely table setting...

Fancy tea cup and napkin...

Mmm Paris tea...

Love it <3

Yay, the tower arrived...

Finger sandwiches and scones...

Tiny tasty desserts...

After tea, we did some antiquing. I enjoyed looking at the various styles and designs of all the tea cups. There were a few I liked and the prices were good, but nothing I *had* to buy.

In another section, I found a pretty pink Aynsley one! Almost got it too, but thought it was a bit much at the time. Love the ridges and rose detail...

We finished antiquing but weren't quite ready to go home yet, so we decided to wander around the mall. Got some yummy bubble tea too; jasmine green with strawberry bubbles.

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 :-)

Lolita & J-Fashion Golf Meet-up!

Hi friends! <3

I met up with the semi local comm to do some mini golfing indoors at a mall. It was called Glowgolf and had lots of cool glow in the dark decorations, and interesting obstacles to navigate around.

This parrot seemed right at home among all the bright colors...

It was fun. I even got a hole in one! Some of those holes were very tricky. I ended up winning a free game on the bonus hole (where you return your ball).

Afterwards, we wandered in a few stores and got lunch. I tried this special bourbon bbq burger. It was good, but could have used more sauce...

I went with a simple and comfy look with minimal poof. First time wearing my necklace and these otks. They work well with this coord :-)

Halloween Work Coord!

Hi friends! <3

Since it was Halloween, I got to dress up for work. I debated over what to wear, then decided on lolita. Even though I just wore a coord a few days ago, I wanted to wear a different dress. Specifically my Meta one with the book print, black cats, and cauldrons. I thought it would be perfect for the spooky holiday.

There was a costume contest with prizes. I didn't win anything though. Oh well. But I did enjoy the yummy apple cider and donuts afterwards.

When I got home, I set-up my ghost bear lamp to continue with that spooky feeling. He looks so cute holding the pumpkin with a spider and little bats flying around. Here's how it looks normally...

And in the dark...

Cute, right? Hope you have a Happy Halloween! <3

Albright Knox Meet-up!

Hi friends! <3

Went to an art gallery with another comm. There was a special exhibit by Takashi Murakami called 'The Deep End of the Universe' with lots of colorful and detailed creatures. It was great seeing the unique and creative things on display. I especially liked how some of them were interactive :-)

Loved this colorful dragon...

And these adorable pandas...

You could even sip some tea in a tent and imagine yourself in a far away land...

Or experience a different perspective in a room with giant furniture...

Also, floor candy... ?

Or take a nice mirror selfie in a cube made up entirely of mirrors...

I even made a new friend! ;-)

***Went to Denny's after for food.***

Ordered a skillet that arrived missing sausage, but had bonus pieces of broccoli...? I had the waitress  fix it. You would think if an ingredient is listed in the description on the menu it would come with it, right?

 And a cake batter shake. No issues here. Super delicious <3
