I thought it might just been good to put all my thoughts in a blog because after Katsucon, a lot has happened in my personal life good and bad and other things i'm coming to terms with, BUT I'm starting a new chapter on March 1st, and life is going to be good. First off... I am moving! If you told me Sunday night when I was out with my friend in Boston that I'd have keys to a new apartment the next weekend I'd be shocked. My friend EJ and I were planning on moving to Providence around this time and had an apartment lined up, but it fell through so this past month we've been revving up our search for apartments. We've been doing tours and had scheduled more for this upcoming weekend, but on Monday a listing we reached out to asked if we could send an application as they only wanted to allow qualified applicants to tour, and usually we were like ehhh but this time I said "fuck it, lets do it." we applied, the landlord liked our applications, and we toure...

Wow... two posts in one day... who am I!?! Well, the Katsucon was in draft form for a bit, I had to get an adapter to upload my DSLR photos to my comp lol. But today's bonus post is me talking about: what does one wear for work, like a job in an office setting. The simple answer I've learned is: onee gyaru brands kind of eat! Of course not all of them if the skirts are too short, but like... if it fits the workplace attire rules, why not it be cute!! I rarely go into the office but today was important to support my friend at his presentation!! This is a set from Delyle Noir! It's suuuper cute, just a tube top dress but a really nice jacket that makes it look like a skirt/top combo. Suuper cute. I also put on my really short heels for driving but I changed into my tall clompers for the office. Adding in some basic tights can help give off the vibe of "I am not trying to show leg!!"   It was at this point I realized I did not put on any lipstick... I had to exfoliat...

I am… exhausted. It has been a super duper long weekend for me but I am finally glad to be home. By the time this blog is out it'll already be a few days since the con happened. I really don't have like... super duper detailed schedules for cons but there's a lot of yapping depending on the day! I'll try to structure this by day!! Thursday Basically, I changed out hotels, and I am so grateful to the desk lady at the Westin who helped me check in early. I got into the hotel at 2, and my friends Dev and Gary came around 3:30 and we were able to take our time to get ready before dinner. Got to bring out the SLAY kyaba inspired co*de I didn't get to wear back in January due to just scheduling issues. I'm not the best w/ lacefronts but it was super cute... I took these cute photos on my DSLR hehe... not many pics from today We decided to go to Fogo de Chao since Dev and Gary hadn't gone before. It was SO good... but expensive. We then picked up badges and met up ...

Ahhhh hi chat! Today I am blogging from National Harbor MD!! I am in the area for Katsucon later this week, I am super excited!! National Harbor is always my favorite spot to go to for vacation, I've been going to Katsucon almost every year, and last year in August I stopped by for a day trip with my friend Jordan to show him around!! However... it was not in my initial plans to already be here! My initial plan was to leave today from RI to drive to PA, and then drive to PA to here on Thursday. However, my parents were panicking about me driving in the winter storms... which caused me to panic... so I ended up leaving on Monday evening for Philadelphia, and drove down to National Harbor Yesterday!!  I learned I enjoy driving to cons because it saves me money as train tickets are expensive if I forget to buy them months in advance and I'm not super restricted to a specific schedule. Last year I drove to PA and back (about 5-7 hours each way depending on the area) like 10 times, ...

Hi everyone! It's time for me to talk about my special economic interest these past few months, the de minimis exemption, and how the current administration's attempts to repeal it and uncertain future can affect the United States gyaru community.  Of course, tariffs affect EVERYONE!! But as of right now I want to blog for any gyaru who are just confused as what is going on. Also please note this is in scope for folks in the United States!!! This does not apply to my friends in other countries!! Also I am googling to doublecheck my facts but like I highly recc you all research this yourself as this develops. I am not a scholarly resource you cannot source me for your papers ok.

Helloooo!! I’m currently taking a half bath right now so I have to distract myself for half an hour! I thought it would be a good idea to catch up and document the codes of last week, especially since I won’t be going out tomorrow like usual. Bear with the formatting. I am not the best at blog formatting LOL I think for this post I’ll do less of the exact details and just talk about both of the codes in general, I have a more OTT ish one and a more casual one. So first! The OTT look!!  I have suddenly taken a HUGE liking to the ma*rs floral patterns, I have this setup in white and I just had to get it in black too when it was only being sold for about 100USD (for a setup!? That’s a deal even when these pieces used to retail for 60-70ish each) The only issue is the coordination of pinks and accessories! I made hairbows last minute the night prior (held together by my manifestation and hot glue). I had initially was struggling with the legs, I had some pink fishnet tights that as I w...

Hiii everyone! This is... kind of a gyaru-type of posting but also just I wanted to blog about where I like to shop locally for may it be gyaru things, but also just in general as there's a lot of discussion on where to shop aside from the big box stores, and how to buy things in these economic times, but also it might just help us all out to save some money! Typically people talk about thrift stores, but I wanted to bring attention to the local liquidation stores!! These types of stores basically sell new goods that big box stores don't count as "in season" anymore and it's all discounted! If you've heard of an Ollie's before, or even an Ocean State Job lot, that's the idea. You don't 100% know what you'll get, but you'll get it at a cheaper price! Now, with the idea of shopping local, it's definitely a GREAT idea to check out what local stores are near you! This might have to be done by looking on facebook, word of mouth, or maybe the...
