Hello everyone! Ahgi know, I know… ( ;´Д`) it’s been a while! Please don’t hate me! ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(; ̄◇ ̄)┘I’ve been so busy, which is really good! The beginning of this month was very rough, and I panicked! But thankfully I was able to book a whole lot of work on top of my normal job, and with any spare time I’ve had I’ve just been working on cosplay stuff… (Anime Expo is in 15 days!?) I’m finished with everything except the chobits cosplay (which I am making both chii and freya for… ) I’m stressed but a big project I was going to do this summer has been cancelled so I’m actually relieved ! One door closes, and others open, it’s life! (And I won’t have to neglect my blog for a month straight!) I have a few other new blog posts coming up this week so stay tuned!

Anyways! I’ve been wanting to share this outfit for awhile! I’m soooo in love with my new Le Bunny Bleu Shoes! (thanks again you guys!) I just love pastels so much and their entire shoe line is almost all pastels!! :D so I was so ecstatic when I got these babies in the mail! I love how they sort of remind me of cute heeled flats from the 80s, they are so perfect! I also got this wonderful skirt from Sheinside.com it’s so perfect for summer in LA! I reall like wearing sweaters with skirts or sweaters, and this cut makes this heavier material a lot more breathable. I do admit I get strange looks from some people when I walk around in this skirt, but I don’t care haha, I think it’s awesome! Oh! And I picked up this awesome sweater from bearcat LA and I just keep getting so many compliments on it, that heart elbow patch just catches everyone’s eyes!

Well I hope you all enjoyed my post! I promise to do another thurs or Friday! :) hope everyone has been wonderful!

Hello everyone!

How are you all doing this week? Was your Memorial Day weekend good? Get a tan? Eat some BBQ? Get intoxicated and go swimming? (Smartest combo ever) haha I didn’t do any of those things >.< . I actually stayed in all weekend and worked very diligently on cosplay stuff for AX 2013! I am actually almost done! But yesterday, that all changed, lol. My friend Allison H. and are going to instead be doing a cosplay from “Chobits” ( Allison being Chii/Elda and I being Freya) . IM SO EXCITED GUYS! But I only have 35 days to do both cosplays and finish up mine! ヽ(;▽;)ノ haha I can do it! So many photos to ensue for sure!

Anyways, on to my actual blog post! If you have been reading m blog from the past few months, Creature of Habit is nothing foreign to you. If not, I’ll tell you a little about it! Each piece is hand made from the beautiful and talented, Vanessa Walton. She has a great passion for everything pretty, ethereal and fantasy. I think it shows pretty well in her designs! I was asked to model for her spring lookbook a few months ago, and I couldn’t be more excited! This was right up my alley! I also got to meet/ hang out with/ model with Chloe Dykstra! (I’ve been E-Stalking her for the past 2 years haha) she was every bit of nerdy, beautiful and fun as I expected! And she was very kind yet confident too! Modeling with her in these photos were a lot of laughs! (As you can see in some photos) it was a really nice set! Not to mention it was Chloe’s idea to do a “lolita” theme and I freaking love lolita ! \(//∇//)\. If you haven’t checked out Vanessa’s shop, you should do so Now! and check out my other posts on Creature of habit as well!

(Feels good to finally post all the photos I wanted to for this lookbook! Summer creature of habit lookbook coming up soon! )

Hello everyone! I know it’s been a hot minute, and I’m sorry (T ^ T) I’ve been really sick since Friday! Today I finally feel a little better! (I had to work so I didn’t give my body much rest!) so when I’m home, I try to stay in bed…

Anyways! You know how I told you about my new job? My good friend Sylvia and her boyfriend Francis (pictured above) decided to come visit me and take some photos in the shop! So I took a quick lunch break and Sylvia took some beautiful photos of Heirloom Vintage ! My boss, Masa Ono, has amazing style and taste and I think it really translates well in the way he decorated the place ! I love the Americana feel to it (I’m always playing western music in the place haha) and it just feels very comfortable.

Also! This was my first time meeting Francis! I’ve been shooting with Sylvia for awhile and she would always talk about him and show me pictures, so it was great to finally meet! They are such a cuuuuute couple! I mean not in a sappy kind of way, but the compliment eachother so well, and it’s like they are always on the same page, idk I think that’s pretty cool! And they both are really artistic and have great style! You should check out his blog! He does great menswear fashion!

Also! I was just featured in the New Cosmo Girl Indonesia!

It’s in Indonesia, so I’m sorry :( but it’s still pretty awesome! I was so excited to receive it in the mail! Thanks again Cosmo Girl for featuring me!

Anyways I hope you all are having a great week! For my cosplay readers, it’s fanime this weekend and I’m sad I can’t go :( but for those of you going have a grand ol time!

Hello everyone!!! I hope you are all doing alright! I know Thursday is ridiculous for having my first post of the week >.<. But!!!! I recently got a job at Heirloom Vintage in little Tokyo and it is amazing! My good friend Olive hired me and my first day was Sunday and its such a cool job! I get to do all the online stuff, and I will be organizing the etsy shoots and such whist managing the store front. My boss, Masa, he is so nice too! He really trusts Olive’s and mine opinions and tastes which is really awesome. Don’t worry though! I’ll still be blogging a lot! Just was getting settled!

Also, I played some card games recently with friends, but the most vexing was defiantly poker… Whenever I played it in video games I never knew what I was doing and would only win by chance. I actually had to be taught the rules and it’s a really fun game! You have to be really good with math (which is not my strong suit) and have a good memory! There are actually a lot of proficient women poker players like stylish poker diva Liz Lieu . It’s really such an interesting “sport” or game I guess more so. But it really takes a lot of skill to be good at o.O . Here’s to more fun nights with drinks and card games!

I want to thank Banggood.com for this adorable sweater! The little pink flowers make any outfit so adorable! I love bubble skirts as well so I thought it was a great pairing! my aunt Michelle gave me this skirt about 4 years ago and it was really long. So I shortened it to make it more bubbly! I accidentally washed it one day and it’s wool so it shrunk ALOT so it’s almost an impossible size to wear or style with. I have a really small waist luckily, but thankfully it’s poofy for my big hips >.<

Anyways I hope you all have been having a great week! Some secret and exciting things are happening for me soon! So happy and excited!

HOORAY! It’s Friday! Hahaha finally my day off! It’s been a very crazy week! I still need to alter a bunch of stuff for a shoot I’m styling tomorrow (T ^ T)! Oh well! A lot of crazy stuff is coming up for me and I’m just so excited! (Can’t wait to share!)

Anyways, I really love this outfit! You can tell I have a love for angora sweaters (just so soft!!! |( ̄3 ̄)| ) and the little beaded bows just match so perfectly with the pink dress Banggood.com sent me!!! Of course I’m sporting my favorite deandri’s (per usual) with this kawaii outfit! The all knowing Sylvia taught me the name of the flower pictured in these pictures! They are called bougainvillea! (I never ever knew that) they make me so happy and relaxed, it’s like the epitome of spring!

On a side note, I’ve become a contributor for The Drifter and the Gypsy for the DIY hair features!! My first one was published today!

Good morning everyone. I hope that you are very happy and excited for the new day! I got a piece of bad news last night… One of my favorite teachers from high school had passed away. He was my freshman English teacher, and at the time I had a lot of turmoil in my home life. I got bullied constantly, I didn’t feel like I was smart, all I focused on were my crappy manga drawings. My teacher was one of the first people to push me, to talk to me like a normal human being, to make me realize I was capable and intelligent. He had a very interesting way of teaching, and I always had a retained that impression of him. He would ask a lot of questions, and listen. When I would draw in his class, when I was done, he would ask if he could have my drawing. I would relinquish it to him and later find it hanging on the classroom wall… (And he kept them on the wall even after I graduated.) He taught me so much about real life, in his indirect ways that I wouldn’t have learned until much later. Finding out about his death, makes me think about my own mortality, and the others around me that I care about. Or even just people that left an impression on me or taught me something about life… And I realize how significant every persons time in my life is… With that being said, RIP Mr. Frey .

Anyways! Sorry for that sad tidbit. I really haven’t had anyone pass away in my life that was remotely significant, so this effected me… I hope you all understand!

About my outfit, I received this adorable blouse from Ecugo.com and I really wanted to do something cutesy/adolescent with it! The print and color really reminded me of a toadstool! So I thought that was the perfect title for this post! (Because of course I am a princess hahaha ) ( ̄◇ ̄;) . I have had these shortalls for about 2 years? (Bought them in April of 2011) I got them at this thrift shop in Anaheim called savers, and they were really cheap! I love how cute they are! But I was just waiting for the opportune time to use my shortall collection (because I really have a collection hahaha) and the timing just couldn’t be any better! I love wearing these with one strap down or both down. (I love both straps too but I also like variety! ) these are a little small, the short part is suppose to poof out a little more but my legs are too big >.< ! Oh and I got these lovely socks from the 99¢ store!!!! I love Em so much! Of course my fabulous white Deandri tequila boots as well! Perfect kawaii outfit!

I hope I wasent too much of an earful today! (Or eyeful?) I really do hope your Thursday is going well!
