a cinderella story.

i'm old-fashioned II.

i'm old-fashioned.

today is marked by not only a new look, but a few actual pictures!
yes-yes. that's right. the moment you've all been waiting for. today you'll get an exclusive look at my embroidery!
but shh if my grandma tries to find out. it's supposed to be a surprise.

my favorite teddy bear (because he's gray and original) demonstrating my artwork. oh, and what is that..thing hanging on his shoulder? well, my friends, that would be me showing off my newest (and favorite for now) pair of knee-highs. look at the little bow! cute, no?

a closeup of my embroidery. it's not much, but i like the design for its simplicity and elegance. it's my first try and, oh, it's really the thought that counts...right?

i nearly forgot to tell you all about my look. anyway, my grandmother is a very special person. for my christmas '08 present, she made me a gorgeous dress...with lovely embroidered butterflies all over it. i, as the stupid jean-wearing adolescent i was back then, forgot all about it and stuffed it into the depths of my closet. now, two years later, i find it. thank goodness now i have the sense to notice its true beauty.
here it is. ~

GAME
i just love the way a. hamasaki's voice sounds with the video...i think this is the video that shows rm's essence the most.


this is nice.


very dramatic.

embroidery, ho-hum.

so yeah. as part of my whole 'lady' act, i've started to embroider.
it sounds sort of silly, but i think that pillow sham of mine is turning out quite nicely. ~
it's going to be a present for my grandma for all the things she's sewn for me in the past.
pictures to follow soon!

victorian bathing suits.

aren't these just darling?
why oh why do i live in the 21st century and have no choice but to bare skin while swimming?! i think limiting girls' choices only to bikinis is just wrong. this certainly makes me want to become a fashion designer (so i can get people to cover more up, hehe..)

bright lolita.

my lookbook.

hey there again -
did i mention i had a lookbook account? you can make fun of my ridiculous outfits over here.
do hype! oh please oh please?

inspiration : may,

1. lace gloves -- the most beautiful thing ever invented;
2. audrey hepburn -- not only the most gorgeous but also the most talented lady ever;
3. libraries -- i love the way library books smell, plus visiting libraries means saving money;
4. sequins -- they look like millions of tiny dragon scales. magical, no?;
5. mint ice cream with chocolate chips -- mmm. 'nuff said;
6. apple orchards -- spring at its finest;
7. tea roses -- elegant and breezy, sweet and innocent;
8. straw hats -- perfect for a lazy day lying around under the sun, or sitting by a lake;
9. freshly mown grass -- the smell is so young, so new, it makes me feel like a child again.

hii there.

hello, hello, hello-oo, my dears! <33
so loads of people wanted me to start a blog and stuff, and after two years of insisting this was not my thing i finally went for it! pay little attention to the name, it might change if this thing goes further.
soo, what shall this oddly empty blog be about, you might ask.
the things i like, obviously, because i'm self-centered like all of us.
which means vintage and lolita outfits, funny things from my life, lookbook looks and, oh, anything else that pops into my head. charming, am i not?
i do hope you'll find this blog interesting. ~
