on one foggy afternoon, matt and i decided to revisit our
favorite spot, a lovely 'wonderland' estate that is full of
magic and mystery. we agreed that the most beautiful day is
not of sunshine but one full of clouds and mist. the most
perfect ambiance that even bunnies seem to appear
everywhere we went. the presence of other creatures were
apparent, we had spotted a swift cat running along the
garden. it disappeared quickly into a path nowhere to be
seen. i thought to myself, is this the Cheshire cat playing
a game with us?
these days, i've been making lovely items for my future
etsy store along side matt as he draws on.
we're both on the floor working creatively. this atmosphere creates a
feeling as if we're in a movie at times. that kind of scene
where the camera is looking down upon us and rolls a long
with some kind of instrumental music in the
background. sometimes, i glance over and notice his
complete focus on drawing in the smallest detail or
blending in just the right amount of color in his drawing.
i think he does the same when i try to thread a needle to
sew on a sequin or bead on to a bow. and on the occasion
that when our eyes meet, we smile at each other.

matt and i found ourselves thrifting lately. he scored
really cheap heavy metal cassette tapes for only 49 cents
each! and i bought a peachy princess puff-sleeved shirt
with cute applique flowers and a super soft knitted minty
sweater. i can't wait for summer to be over with so i can
wear the sweater out~! also, i shouldn't forget to mention
an awesome care bears bed sheet that i already turned in to a
poofy skirt. all these things for less than $5 from
salvation army :)
i've been collecting a lot of lace, yarn, bows, and various
vintage frilly items to create 'cult party' inspired
accessories. this is probably my favorite style coming from
japan at the moment out of all of the many -kei's. fairy-
kei initially drew me in because it's super cute but after
awhile, it looks too over the top for me. mori-girl is bit
too bohemian and simple. dolly-kei is pretty but the color
schemes are dark for my tastes. cult-party kei is in
between all of these things. i like the religious motifs,
the pink/white color schemes, and the subtle cuteness of it
all.

it is pretty much summer by now and i'm already dreading it. i get the illusion that there is more time to do things now than before since the sun does not set until 8 or 9 o'clock at night. or does this mean, that i can waste more time nevertheless. i'm going to try to do a "saturday outfit" post every week. whenever i set a goal like this, it never seems to last. i'm going to cross my fingers this time that it will, at least until the next season when the daylight is shorter again.

also, i'm selling some clothes here if anyone is interested :)
