3/20 - Catching up on recent gal activities

 Hi all!!! This month has been a bit wild. There's been a lot of curveballs thrown at me I am dealing with but nontheless readers... I will figure this out. I'm excited for the new challenges ahead.

But for now! I want to talk about all the exciting gal events that have happened this month!!

FIRST!! NINI AND I MET IN PERSON!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! 

Nini and I actually live quite close! To the point we have talked about a grocery store we both like hehe... I was so happy to finally see her in person and it was SO GOOD!!! We clicked INSTANTLY and we just had a lot of fun. We didn't have too much time since we both had a busy day, but it was lots of shopping, chatting, and we got tea! I also got to wear my growing rich setup which is super cute (and it was easy to toss on my school uniform afterwards).

Come on RI gals!!! We got slayful fashion!!!!! yes we do!!!

Then, I went to the Chrissy Chlapecka concert!! Wait. No. I think I did this first... but was so excited to share I met up with Nini we're out of order... WHOOPS!! Anyways, I got to see Alex who I haven't seen since we like... initially exchanged contact info??? He recognized my alba rosa coat at a CVS one year in anime boston and mentioned owning a ma*rs tracksuit and im like YES... YESSSSS!!!!! Also shoutout to Jordan who let me change out of my class uniform at his place and drove my car there... and then drove me home as I had... a lot of margs. That's my older bro fr fr. The Chrissy concert was beautiful. It was so fun. Imagine a pink popstar realizes she's a lesbian and her music somehow gets even better with each release. and oh my god listening to andromeda live????? IT'S A BANGER!!! 

And finally!!!! My birthday week!!! There were 3 main events I would say

1) Margs with the girls. I love my girls who love to get margs with me. We really do not have much in common yet somehow we have so much fun and can chat ENDLESSLY!!!!!!!! I wore my blue emiriawiz dress and a cute lil tiara. EJ's brother Arthur is amazing at curling hair compared to me, he did one half of my hair after I got tired LOL. Also there was this bartender who gave us this wine she did something with dairy and it tasted like wine and buttery crackers... like blood and body of christ you get what I'm saying... Jesus works at the Mare Rooftop bar.

 

My gorgeous friends... so stunning...

2) CTGamercon!! I actually did more of a gyaru cosplay based on the 9090s usagi design. Not my best photo, but it was so cute! I actually had a few people recoginze me as gyaru usagi which was like... CRAZY. I also met a wonderful gal diva whose name is escaping me... diva you were sweet. I ALSO HUNG OUT WITH BRI!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND ABI!!!!!!!! and we had so much fun gambling. I also spent. so much on pokemon games. I've recently been into getting scammed and buying romhacks on physical cartridges. I did also buy pokemon platinum. My god... pokemon gba and ds games are PRICEY!!!! AH!!!! I actually still have pokemon emerald from when I was ... 8 or 9 years old? I remember that shit was 30 dollars. why is it 200 now. the HELL?

unaaa.... yaha.... (forgot to take like any more photos i fear)

3) The Wednesday Karaoke party. I wore my pink emiriawiz dress with my big prisila helmet after I realized... who gaf what other gals say... I will wear my prisila wigs as I please. With the cute lil tiara it was SO FUN!!! YAAA!!! I told all my friends to come in pink or slay and we actually had photos taken for the karaoke bar's marketing!! I'm excited to see them hehe.... we also recreated the last supper and I got to be jesus. I am not religious but I don't think I'm like the guy at all. I mean... Jesus works at the rooftop bar.

I have a 2 minute video of us just losing it mid photo session lol

and tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm technically hosting my first gal meet but I think there's only 3 of us confirmed and it infact... my fellow RI gyaru... lets go RI gals lets go CRAZY

1/11 - Oh you thought I was going back to Boston? No. New York City.

 Let's switch it up chat. I've gone to Boston a lot... so why not a lil trip to the big apple?! I hadn't gone to NYC since a very cursed 2019 experience, so when I was asked to join for Ally's birthday shenanigans, I was like YEAH!!!!! WAHOO!!!!!! The day before I went and picked up my friend Gabi and we headed to their family home close to NYC to stay there for two nights. No hotel needed... love that. We also hung out with our friend Olivia in Stamford for a bit but I took no photos... actually I took one... but go to the end of the blog for that.

The idea was to dress up cute because we were going to a fancy tea store. So I pulled out the big guns... Angelic Pretty dress and a fresh tan. (Literally did it the night before so my hands were AUUUGH but it is ok that's what happens when I put off tanning until the last min).

I know I am an agejo girlie, but I also have been really into the idea of himegyaru/himelolita. Doing some research into various dresses I saw this AP dress and I was like wow. Would love this. And then I went and found i secondhand in China with the matching necklace and headpiece and wow!!! It is so cute. I will be wearing this LOTS. This is a repeat outfit for SURE. I've also been enjoying the concept of brown eyes. I do love having blue eyes, but I feel like for the more cutesy princess looks, I enjoy brown eyes. Does this make ANY SENSE? I doubt it. 

I will say I do want to invest in some cute socks and wrist cuffs. Surprisingly I didn't hate the white tights, but I did buy pink socks and pink tights but the tones of pink were off and I was NOT doing that... no...

So!!!!! After we got dressed, my friend Gabi and I drove over to Ally's house, gave her gifts, and us and our final party member, Luke, drove over to the local MTA station and hopped on the train to NYC!!

Our first stop was a cute lil tea place in Koreatown!! I love tea so I was so happy to down a few cups of black tea to keep awake. I got this mango tea that was like... tasty asf. I don't expect tea to be tasty so I was confused I could taste the mango but also surprised. I got some fries and a cheesecake, and everyone got some food and Ally got this super cute dessert tray with a creme brulee and that helped me remember creme brulee exists and now I want some. Yum....

Also we got free cans of redbull (broke my no energy drink streak after like 2 months but its ok LOL). and while we waited for our tea Luke put the can in his cup LMAOOO

 

Also some cute photos of me!! 

After food, we went shopping for a bit before our scheduled museum trip. I was expecting to spend a lot of money in NYC, but I only bought a few things. 

1) GFriend Season of Memories album, but it's the glass bead. UGHH MY ISO IS MINE YESSSSSS ITS SO GOOD. I'm so glad I got it.

2) A water from Teso Life. I dragged our group in there to get an idea and it's just like... reiwatakiya or taos...

3) All the cororo peach gummies from miniso. If you notice a lack of cororo peach gummies just know it was probably me.... love those gummies...

There was a LOT of cute stuff but I kept holding off. I will say just due to timing we couldn't explore a lot but thats ok!! I learned you really gotta like plan out NYC or plan more time to just walk around. 

We then had a fun time at the museum of illusions!! It's a smaller spot but it's so cute!!!! I took many pics with the group and it was so fun. I'm gonna do a photo spam at the end. After the museum we headed back for pizza and cake and it was so fun!! At the end of the trip I was like "damn that was short" and they were all like "oh shit right you're not from here". but it was all ok!!! 1) Ally's birthday so Ally's rules. 2) I can always come back lol. To my friends, they live near NYC so a trip to NYC is like a trip to Boston for me. I hit a few spots and head home.

Overall, an amazing trip! In a way I gained a softer spot for Boston thought because NYC is a whole different city than Boston. Like I was only there for 3 hours and though I was like "wow it's short." I was also like "WOW THIS IS A LOT..."

Ok!!! Photo spam now!!

And if you made it to the end... the one photo from Stamford. No context required.

1/11 - Boston in December Part 3 - the new years eve shenanigans

 Ya girl loved Boston in December. Which is crazy because I assumed I just hated Boston as for awhile I was just like not having the best experiences there. I mean AB 2025 was OK, but I didn't expect much. My first two Boston december trips were WONDERFUL so I was hopeful the third trip would be just as good!

This time around, I went to Boston with my friend Jordan as were attending Vicki and Dan's wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEDDINGS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL and I knew this wedding was going to be fan-fucking-tastic as I love Vicki and Dan so much AND since it was a New Years Eve wedding, it was gonna be SO GOOD!!! They had events that spanned over 3 days, so we got to Boston on the 30th.

Also like disclaimer yall I forgot to take like barely any photos at the functions. The functions to me were about connecting and having fun (nod emoji goes here) and also we were requested to not utilize phones at the ceremony (nod emoji goes here). The wedding? Beautiful. Vicki? STUNNING. GORGEOUS. Dan? Looking hella great. 

So more of this blog will be more of what I wore, what I did, etc.

So when we got there on the 30th, I went ahead and got changed and did my hair and make for the pre-wedding get together social. The dress code was "smart casual" which to me, I had no idea what that meant... but the good news... EmiriaWiz is close enough I think! I have this tweed set that just kits a lil oddly on me, but paired with black boots, black blouse, and a black jacket, I think it worked super well! No nails here because lazy.

The event was super fun as I got to see a lot of people I hadn't seen in like... 2 years? It was so nice!! Lots of yapping, met some wonderful people including a stunning fashion diva whose name I am forgetting... ARGH!!!!!

And then we went to bed... I woke up as the early riser in the friendship duo and decided while Jordan slept in, I'd go on an adventure to.... you guessed it. Newbury street. I actually needed to stop there because I wanted to get my friend Ally some good Hachiware gifts + I wanted to get some more chiikawa nails. For myself, I ended up picking up some hachiware nails at reiwatakiya and the tirtir cushion foundation from Tao's. 

Then I had the great idea to take the subway to the reiwatakiya in brookline only to realize it opened at like. 1 pm. and it was 12pm. So I ended up walking through a local neighborhood to the buffalo exchange and found 25 dollars on the ground? A crisp 20. A crisp 5. What the fuck? More on these bills later in the story.

Didn't find anything at buffalo exchange, and then walked to reiwatakiya and picked up more hachiware nails (for Ally this time) and an eyeshadow palette for me! I also then stopped at a random store to buy a necklage because I forgot mine. Whoops. It's super cute so I will be wearing it more for sure. Then my phone was on like 10% so I got back to the hotel, charged phone, and then Jordan and I went to grab some food. We sat by the window and people watched and commented on everyone's fashion choices.

I realized I never wrote about the dollar bills. I owed jordan 25 bucks for lunch so I gave it to him and we laughed. lol. 

Afterwards, we headed back to our hotel to get ready for the wedding!!!!! Since it was NYE the dress code was gowns and suits and like... what wedding guests wear. I always struggle to dress for weddings and find the right outfit, but I found this dress on mercari JP and it was like whoa!!!! So cool!!! 

Before I spam the good pics I'll wrap up the talking portion here to reiterate the wedding was so beautiful and so fun, and the post wedding brunch was so nice too! Though I didn't take many pictures it so wonderful to witness the beautiful wedding... congrats to Vicki and Dan for real!!!!!!!!! I wish you both all the best!!!! 

Also one of the performers looked like Pitbull and about 5-10 people told me I should take his job. I love the fact people know me for that. 

OK!!! That's all the text. Spamming the pics below now. Personally, my best look in 2025 me thinks.

1/11 - Boston in December Part 2 Electric Boogaloo - Gal meet!!!

I am so behind blogging Boston trips and you know how I know that? I have another one next week and I haven't even blogged either last week of December!! 

Ya girl went to a gal meet in boston!!! Jules / misslotusgal on insta had posted about a meetup and I was like whoa... a meetup I can actually make it to!!!!! So I was super excited to go!!

I was cursed with 2 things right before the meet: Allergies and Snow. Hacking up a lung due to dry mouth and not being able to really wear agejo as it was cold and icy!! But with some allergy meds and a chiikawa inspiration, I was able to come up with a cute outfit and make for the event!!

My initial idea was to go full alba baka w the darich boots, but I ended up putting on a chiikawa shirt and put some chiikawa nail stickers on my face to match my chiikawa purse! (It needs a wash.) I think for a casual code, it was super cute. 

Also thank you Jules for the sick pics at the bottom, and to Morefun for some amazing lighting. Love Morefun.

I didn't take a lot of photos of the day, but it was super duper fun!! We met up at the mall and flipped through mags and chatted about inspo, gal life, etc etc, and then we went shopping!!!!!! From cookies to tea to photobooths to cosmetics stores, it was all so fun!!! I was nervous as I had no idea how many gals would be there or what the vibe would be, but similarly to my trip with Erin, I feel like we all hit it off very well!! Also we were all in the same age range which was so nice too!!! I also offered to host a meet for the Spring in Providence (nod emoji) so I'm going to work on putting together times closer to March once I figure out my work schedule for my night time job. 

I had a lot of fun!! I'm going to post all the other pictures I took below!!! 

I love the GIF versions so much hehe....
