4/18 - April Gets!

Hi everyone!! I realized I have missed so many things to blog.... I think tonight I might draft up a few posts, including my gosh... forgot to talk about zenkaikon and that was almost a whole month ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I was also not feeling very good last night. I had to take off work today and get rest and didn't really get up and around until 10AM... I usually can't sleep in past 7 am, but if I am sick my body allows me to sleep in. Luckily once I finally got some much needed rest I was back to normal in the afternoon. 

For today's post, I want to show some of the gets I got this month. Some gal, some related to my other interests... my shopping addiction continues. I also have another shipment coming next week, but with tariffs and also just... life right now... I am going to hold off on making any more mercari jp purchases unless my dream dream dream isos show up at a reasonable price (which... I doubt lmao!!)

Starting with the fashion!!!

 

First, I was inspired by the idea of twinning with Lynzee and I was like ooo I should find the same dress she has from ma*rs... and then I saw it in the white colorway, its so pretty! And I also got my first primelo dress which was suuuuper exciting! It's super cute, but interestingly the way the design is printed on the fabric is different from ma*rs... I'm not into textiles so I don't know the best way to explain it. You know how like most places print the design on white fabric and you can't see it on the other side? It's like that. Does this mean I might've been duped...? I'm unsure, but either way, its super cute.

AAAND!!! I bought a piece from Cindy as she reached out and asked if I was interested!!! I really like this print, and the cut of this dress is cute too! I definitely will pair this with a cardigan (I'd like to one day find the matching cardigan for this set!!!) Bless up Cindy such a sweetheart and wrote such a nice note!! I am definitely going to work on coordinating this for upcoming Wednesday Karaoke!!!

And ofc... on the less agejo and more casual side... it's very usagi core. 

I will definitely post the second half once it comes, but I have some chiikawa tracksuits coming!!!!! I am slowly turning into an... ot3? fan... I mean I love them all but I definitely collect the main 3, but Usagi is my huge favorite. I use the purse regularly with some keychains on it, and I sometimes wear the backpack in combo (it doesn't fit much tho lol). I also went a bit crazy one night and wore the spa headband over a hat!! I actually wore this to a new fave cocktail bar of mine on a Saturday and everyone was dressed up in like... going out outfits... and I was in a tracksuit... lmao...

AND NOW!!!! Onto the PLUSHIES!!!!!! I love plushies. They bring me so much joy. I am planning on eventually creating a Chiikawa shrine in my office or my bedroom (I still have to get the TakiSabi shrine up somewhere too, one will go in one spot and one will go in the other).

For now, they all live on my bed and hold on for dear life when I roll around in the middle of the night! Here is (almost) the full collection! One actually fell under the bed and I didn't realize until later LMAOO

I have... been going a bit insane going to various miniso locations to find these. The most recent gets where the two big ones!! I was at the providence location and the manager told me that braintree might've had them. So... I go to braintree and they tell me they're out! So I decided to go crazy and drive an extra hour to burlington and lo and behold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big friends. These were expensive, I came in expecting them to be though. How does adding a pochette add 50 dollars to price? I did note my Hachiware is 10cm bigger than my usagi according to tag... so many different sizes... 

BUT!!! IT IS SO HARD TO FIND CHIIKAWA!!!!! The lil creature is so popular up in new england!! I do have some other plushies coming so I will have more Chiikawa soon.

I put Usagi in the passenger seat lol... I want to get a big chiikawa and just have a day I drive them all somewhere and have them hangout in my backseat... but I'll have to clean my car.

And then!! This was kind of a wild purchase, I went crazy on Rika plushies. Miss Rika Pokemon... my wife, my girlfriend... my wife FR!! At zenkaikon there was no Rika and I was so sad so I went on Mercari JP and bought 14. 13 came in this shipment, and the last one is coming next week! I plan on fixing up my Rika wig for Anime Boston and putting together a Rika itabag. Looking back at it... did I need to order 14? PRobably not. I rarely try to buy mutliples of the same thing anymore since the Heavens Rave / Takisabi Days. 

I also still gotta play the dlc... so many video games I need to play....

But yeah!!!!!!!! That's the haul for April minus the gets of next week. I am going to try to like... stop looking at Mercari JP and also STOP GOING TO MINISO!!!!!!!! This week and next week has been the pause of bingo... so maybe if I bring back bingo in May I will have to pause on the shopping...

But... life has been really good. I have recently been stopping on my walks to places and realizing how good life is. It's funny to think about.

OH. I got an ipod nano too. I will probably make a separate blog eventually about my journey to de-smartphone. The ipod nano might need a new battery even though I was told it was a new battery.
