Babesquad☆Summer☆Fun

Hey, babes! Last Saturday, I met up with Jesse, Caylee, Kane, Raven, and Alisha at SunO to catch up and hang out with everyone ;u;! Last summer, we spent time there regularly, but strangely enough, It was the first time this summer I went. It's always sooo great to hang out with friends, especially Jesse and Caylee, since they live pretty far away u~u! The best thing about meeting up at SunO is that there's a lot of yummy food in the H-mart plaza and a few really cute places to shop for stationary and asian cosmetics so we really had a lot of fun walking and shopping around.

First, my outfit! 

Seifuku top - handmade

Skirt - thrifted

Accessories - starlightdecodream, teenmermaid, handmade

Bag - teenmermaid

We met up at SunO, which was running this awesome 2 Strawberry Sunos for 1 deal! So we all pitched in a dollar or two to grab some! it's cheap stuff, just around $7 for a huuuuge cup of delicious shaved ice and sweet fruits, so two for that much was a killer deal! 

This is the only shot I got of everyone somehow! Raven, Alisha, Kane, Jesse, and Caylee! We were all walkin' to the Ramen restaurant just a little ways away ;w;

We went to get ramen next! Except, Kane's the only one who got it. I really regret getting the udon u^u! The ramens the best thing on the menu for sure, and its even priced the same.

I did get takoyaki though! Too yummy ;u;! My udon was so mediocre though! I'm still really sad about it.

For dessert we picked up some chocolate filled taiyaki from super H-mart, and then went into the cute korean bakery and coffeehouse next door to sit and snack ;w;

I took this great candid of Caylee with her precious weiner bread hahaha! She's such a cutie ;w;!

That was our last stop for the day ;v;! After sitting and snacking, we all went on our ways home. It was a really fun day full of yummy food and company. I'm a little sad it was one of the only times I got to see everyone this summer though! It's always so fun being around friends that it makes me sad that we don't all get to hang out as often.

Anyways, I'll post about all the sewing and art I've been doing over the summer soon ;u;!  Thanks so much for droppin' by!

☆ Whoops! A Slightly Late Frill 2013 post ☆

Hey babes, long time no post! So sorry about the unannounced little hiatus, but I refreshed my layout and updated things a little bit! I'm hoping to get back to posting somewhat regularly for a while now.

Life has been pretty complex lately with this being my last summer before going away to college, so I've been focusing a lot on things like hanging out with my friends and family, getting mentally prepared for a lifestyle change, and relaxing and enjoying my lazy summer days. I've also been feeling super inspired and have done some fun art and sewing projects lately that I'll share with you in another post very soon, I promise ;v;! But in this post I wanna share the last big event I went to, which was Frill 2013!

Even though I don't wear lolita anymore, I volunteered with some friends to help out at Frill 2013, a lolita fashion convention held in Atlanta at the beginning of June. I wasn't really expecting to enjoy a lot of the events because I'm not quite interested in the fashion too much, but I got to hang out with my Friends Jesse, Ayu, and Malice the whole time! I got to see Caylee for a while on Saturday too which was sooo great! I haven't had a chance to most of them for a while before then, so having good friends around made the experience totally worth it ;v;! 

Friday was totally the most fun day. It was before the con, so we all got to work together on the set up of the boutique and whatnot ;v;. Later that night, there was a Fashion Walk, but It wasn't really our jam, so we mostly went along to take pictures and ended up splitting off from the huge group to grab burritos!

A picture of some cute stuff in the boutique I took during set up.

My outfit on Friday!

Everything's secondhand or thrifted, except for my bralette which is Forever21, and my button and Tote which are from the lovely Jesse! 

Malice, Jesse, Me, and Ayu! 

Our delicious dinner that we ditched the group for hehehe!

Saturday was the last day that I went, but It was honestly pretty boring since I just worked in the boutique for most of the day. I did get to catch a couple of my friends panels and go out to lunch with them, so that was stellar! 

My outfit on Saturday! 

All thrifted and seconhand again, except for my skirt which is H&M, and my buttons which are Teenmermaid and Starlight Deco Dream.

Ayu and Jesse being sweethearts as always ;u;. 

My darling Caylee!

Me and jesse were goofing around on the way to grab lunch and ended up posing with this guy ;v;.

Isn't this such a sweet candid? Credit to Jesse again ;u;

I was asked to model in the Frill Fashion Show this year by the directors, and agreed because I really think modeling is so much fun! We ended up cramped up in this tiny hallway for the better part of five hours unfortunately, but I wore lolita again for the show and had a lot of fun! ;u; I don't have any pictures of me from the show, but I have a couple from beforehand.

All dressed up and ready! Dress by Nemeth Wild.

Donni and me together! Donni just looked way too fierce.

Frill was a really great time to catch up with friends! I had so much fun being around and seeing everyone again, and modeling is always something I love to do ;v;. I actually was the first person to walk in the show! It was really fun hahaha.

So, thanks so much for droppin' by! I'll try really hard to have a post of everything I've been drawing and sewing up next week. I'm going on a small vacation with a couple of friends to Savannah pretty soon so I'll be blogging about that too, ;u;! See you soon, sweeties!

♫End of School♪Beginning of Summer♫

Hey everyone! Sorry for that long lapse in posts again! Things got so hectic with the end of my senior year in high school and graduation and summer starting and everything. Overall I've had such a sweet last few weeks that It's been hard to find the time to blog about everything ;u;! This is a really abridged version of everything I've been up to.

The last few weeks of school were super relaxed and fun for me ;u;. As an honor student, I was able to exempt all of my final exams so I basically didn't have to worry about any schoolwork or studying past the last couple of regular tests and assignments ;u;. The coolest final assignments were totally in my oceanography class, though! We got to dissect a squid

How cute OvO. We also painted ceiling tiles and other fun cute stuff like that! Since I ended up never having any work to do in school though, I spent most of the week in the school library reading and relaxing and hanging out with friends who could also get out of class. It was seriously a perfect ending! I have lots of pictures of my friends and I goofing around in the library, but I don't think they'd appreciate me sharing them hehehehe~

The weekend after the last Friday of school was this Arts festival that one of my teachers organizes every year called Arts in the Park. Me and my friend Kat volunteered to help out last year so we decided to do it again this year too. It was a ton of fun! Of course, we spent minimal time working and mostly scoped out the food vendors and hid from the directors hehehehe. 

A summary of what we ended up doing: sitting around the festival and snacking all day!

My art teacher found us at one point and put us to work to draw an advertisement for one of the sponsors of the festival. We were supposed to paint it and  probably make it look less ultra kawaii, but I think we threw the rules to the wind and decided to just have fun! Sadly, it got painted over later (but that's our fault for not following the rules in the first place haha!)

There's a sidewalk chalk contest every year at Arts in the Park, and this was my favorite one *u* it's so neat and cute and simple and sweet! 

The next big event was Graduation on the 22nd of May! I can hardly believe I'm a graduate now! It was a really sweet day full of friendship and happiness, and I only cried a really little bit at karaoke that night ;u;. Jesse even came to my graduation, which meant so much to me! It was awesome to be able to go through that huge moment with all of my best friends around me!

Me and Raven! We saw each other and immediately started posing together ahahaha. She is truly the selca queen.

The sky looked so great during graduation! They told us to turn off our phones but since I was in the first few rows, after I received my diploma I figured it wouldn't hurt to take a few pictures during the event.

Two of my main babes! Kane and Jesse ;u;! It was so great to see them at graduation together *u*! I could even pick them out in the crowd because both of them have such vivid red hair ahaha! Afterwards, we went out to karaoke to celebrate and have fun! I think I ended up singing every single song, or at least singing along or dancing when I didn't have a mic. Karaoke is seriously one of my favorite things in the world *w*! 

Jesse stayed the night and the next day we went to the mall! We walked around really leisurely and had a lot of fun looking through all the stores. neither of us bought too much either which was wonderful.

I did buy these though! Aren't they the cutest? Forever21's lingerie section is really on point!

Me and Jesse!

My outfit for the day. Super simple and light, I'm so glad it's finally starting to feel like summer outside.

Jesse took this great candid of me buying snacks! bless! It was a really ideal first day of summer break. 

I'm looking forward to so much this summer! I have a secret project coming up that will be incredibly fun to share as soon as it's ready, and a lot of neat events I'm planning on going to! Since things won't be as busy as they have been, hopefully I'll be able to keep up with posting once a week too. Well, until then!

Thanks for stoppin by! 

Party Time, City Girl~ ♪

Hey, babes! I've been having a total blast these last couple of weekends! I got to go down to Atlanta for two super fun events, the first one being my senior prom! I can't even begin to describe how much of a great time I had! A friend of mine even came from Tennessee to come to prom with me! It was a really magical night of fun and friendship and lots of dancing and singing! ;v;!

I went with my friends Kane and Nat ;v;! Since Nat was coming from far away, he ended up missing our meeting time for pictures so mostly I only have ones of Kane and I ;v;

My stepdad took all these photos and he got a LOT of candids but I really liked this one ;v; He took around 350 photos so narrowing them down to just a few for this post was such hard work! 

The theme of my prom was masquerade, so I used a mask as a hair accessory hehehe

Kane and Me! 

A picture of me taking a picture of me!

Kane and I at the restaurant we went to before heading to the Fox Theater for the event! It's a restaurant that I go to really often, and the owner asked us to pose for a picture ahaha

Waiting on food u v u

After we ate we finally met up with Nat! I haven't seen him since AWA so it was a really exciting and happy moment!

After that we made our way downtown to the Fox Theater's gorgeous Egyptian Ballroom and danced the night away! It was a really amazing time! I'd love to re-live it *u*!

So that was Prom! On Saturday, my dad invited me and my brothers to go and see a Suicidal Tendencies show at the Masquerade in Atlanta ;v;. Even though I'm not so much into hardcore or punk music, I hadn't seen my dad in a while and I figured I would have a fun time either way! I'm not that picky about music and I'm pretty easy to please so I ended up enjoying it a lot ;u;! I also took it as a chance to try switching my style up a bit ;v;

4/27/13

That top is actually a T-shirt from walmart! I cut off the entire bottom of it to make it a crop top and flipped it around so I'm actually wearing it backwards! Super fly on the cheap \m/

slightly better quality 

I switched my makeup up so much! I've never done it like this before, but it was a fun change ;u;

The show started at 7PM so we decided to spend some time in Little 5 Points, a great alternative shopping/music district near downtown. I always find really cute things when I'm there though, even though a lot of the secondhand items are heinously overpriced ~A~!  Coincidentally, I saw my friends Rayven and Kelli there! I totally wasn't expecting it *u*! no pictures because I was too busy yelling Rayven's name from the car to get her attention. Unfortunately I arrived just as they were leaving, so we only got to see each other for a few seconds.

Anyways, In Junkman's Daughter I saw this HUGE Kewpie doll *u* what a cutie pie, I wanted to grab it!

I ended up buying this super cute chiffon pink top!

I'm so in love with it! I found it in a shop that's usually pretty pricy as far as vintage things go, but this was marked as $14. I got it fro $10, though! what a score! I know I'll be using it religiously during summer *u*

My brothers and I and in front of the Masquerade waiting to get in. They're both so much taller than me now!! I'm the middle sibling so it's a little painful to see my younger brother towering above me @A@!

The only picture I got inside before my phone totally wiped out on me.

The concert was really fun! It was nice to hang out with my dad and my brothers and to be in the city ;v;. It was also nice to try something totally different and new to me and to dress up for it! I seriously ended up enjoying myself ;u;!! 

It was so nice to spend my last two weekends hanging out in the city since I'll be moving there for school next semester! I really love being in Atlanta and it seriously hyped me up for spending more time there with friends next year ~w~!

Thanks for stoppin' by!

Don't Worry ☆ Be Happy!

Hey babes! Last week was my spring break, and wow it was seriously wonderful! I went with my family down to Florida's beautiful Emerald Coast! I was really looking forward to hanging around by the beach for the whole week and being overall lazy and relaxed. It was basically heavenly! The condo that we stayed in was right on the beach and had a stellar view from the patio *w*

My and my mom went out to chillin' the beach every morning for an hour or two ;v;. The water was really really cold so we mostly didn't swim! I got in once though, just because I felt like it would have been a shame not to ;v;

our beach chairs together ;u;

The daily ritual u v u

4/9/13

This was the first day I had to get dressed ;u;. I should have taken a picture without the cardigan on though, oops! I biked 5 miles to this cute little town, Seaside, in order to meet up with a friend of mine who lives there ;u;! I also got some mango and strawberry gelato~

the strawberry is on the bottom but the colors were the same as my nails ehehe! Really yummy uwu

I also found these Jem and the Hologram cup koozies in the record store there!

I bought the logo one!

4/10/13

this whole outfit is made by me ;v;! I took another 5 mile bike ride with my little brother to meet with my childhood friend! We met with some of his friends and ended up going to see Spring Breakers that night. Totally not a movie I thought I would enjoy, but I ended up liking it! 

A view of Seaside from where we were hangin out ;v;

4/11/13

We went to Destin, FL for the day to go on a sunset boat ride! It was so much fun ;w; we saw a lot of dolphins too, which is always a really exciting thing *u*! It was super cold though! I dont know how everyone on the boat was comfortable in short sleeves and stuff, I ended up wrapping up in two jackets ahahaha.

I didn't take any pictures while i was on the boat though ;u; sorry!

4/11/13

Another bike ride! It was so ridiculously windy this day! my skirt kept flying all over the place! I was wearing shorts but imagine how distracting that bike ride was ahaha. We also went to see The Croods that night! what an adorable movie *v*

a  POV shot from the day uwu

4/12/13

I ended up wearing my bathingsuit and this american Apparel dress my sweet babe Jesse (Definitely check out his new blog!!) got for me ;u;! I went thrifting and then lunching wit my mom before spending the evening on the beach ;u;! The perfect last day of the trip.

I found this killer t-shirt in the childrens section! It fits me perfectly as a crop top I'm soo excited to wear it *v*!

My entire thrift haul! I'm so glad I found three old lady PJ blouses/bedcoats to play with ;u;

POV shot 

The sunset ;u; Totally gorgeous!

4/13/13

This was our last day! we went out to the beach in the morning and then packed into the car u v u. It's nice to be home but I seriously miss being by the ocean!

I drew in the sand a lil bit before we had to head out.

Yesterdays POV ;u;

I had such a wonderful spring break! for once I'm not dreading going back to school either. I feel refreshed and ready to take on anything! Going to the beach usually does that for me ;u;!

 Thanks for stoppin' by, babes! Hopefully I'll catch ya next week ☆
