| Work outfit and AP sale? |
[09 Jul 2009|10:54pm] |
I felt too out of it this evening (really tired out by the 2 hour meeting) to do anything really useful, which was really annoying. I may just want tomorrow evening all to myself. Depending on how I end up feeling, I guess.
So a little camwhoring of what I wore to work today. Little bit of loli in work clothes
MYSPACE ANGLE! God I never do these. Hell there's always a first.


Not lolita but...well..maybe? Hrm I don't know, it was just supposed to tie in elements. Don't mind me, this is tired after work Lina who already flopped on her bed and wrinkled her skirt. Anyway that's my Dear Celine cutsew, H&M bubble (yep, that's right) high waisted skirt, and Ribbon Holic (!!!!!!) necklace. I was barefoot with no socks (hope your happy mom) so hence the cut off.

Close up. Isn't this the cutest?

Even closer close-up. This piece is most definitely inspiring me to make more jewelry. I want to do more necklaces and hair stuff, though. Anyway, I love this necklace so much!!! It came with a matching ring, though I didn't wear that to work. One of the keepers really liked the cupcake :D
Now if I only had one more full day to myself where I would just work with clay. Gahhh life is going toooo fast.
Btw, I may actually end up selling this. I really love it and it's a dream dress. But...it still doesn't fit me quite at the bust. And I don't think there's any way to get it sized larger.

Would be selling with matching headdress, seen here on my vanity ( the blue thing)

So friends list, if you are interested, do comment.

ohhhhhhhhh boy.......... I'm at the point where I have all these pretty clothes but no money for anything anymore. And I don't want to sell any of the clothes yet. I want to wear and appreciate. At least I'm stocked up on nonperishable foods and frozen foods. Oh shit though I have an issue with gas. I have no money for gas. SHIT.
Well then. Damn I need a paying job. Though I can't complain, the LPZ job has improved significantly since people stopped being unhappy with things behind their back and just came out and said it. :D I'm really liking my job as of late, actually. I'm having a lot of fun with it. And the layouts should be in tomorrow!!!! So hopefully will be entering things next week past 2003!!! YAYZ!
I'll take your advice Helena about the pettis, though I don't know what I could do. I'll offer them up again reduced, better pics w/before and after, same angle. Consistency! Hopefully I'll have some takers. That would be my only source of income right now....
Hopefully I will sew a little when I get home. Or draft. Whichever.

Oh snap. I got some purty goodies today:


I have an AP print skirt for every day of the week now. :DDDDD I'm so going to pull off an AP week thing when I'm taking German in August. Now? I have to make matching jewelry! Maybe even matching cutsews!

| package? |
[06 Jul 2009|01:33pm] |
OMG NEVERMIND. SIGH OF RELIEF. According to usps.com (I normally use track-trace), my package has exited customs this morning. I may get it today, actually. Well then again, just because it exited it doesn't mean that I won't get fined. Or does it? I have no idea.

| Taste and Bento :D |
[03 Jul 2009|09:44pm] |
Hee hee well I've had a lot of fun the past few days. Though damn I was too tired to go and watch the fireworks today. That's ok, because there are the fireworks next week thanks to the Friendship Fest! That'll be fun.
The Taste was by far the best I've ever gone to. We tried to sample a little bit from every booth, which ended up not completely happening because a lot of booths just didn't have a unique enough dish to offer. But it was a lot of fun and SO DELICIOUS. My diet completely went out the window.

Yeah we are dorks.
Read more on the taste here: http://ameblo.jp/elerronyar/entry-10292901110.html
I'm actually writing on my ameblo blog a lot more now. I think that's going to become my more lolita related blog, while this will stay a more day to day blog + help out with my little business, Paradise Rose. Which I desperately need to work on :D
I've gotten a few goodies in the mail lately.....bento galore!! ( snip snip for quite a few pictures :D )

| bento goodness! |
[29 Jun 2009|10:48am] |
I picked up a package from Saturday today- cute stuffs!

Oshibori case (case with towel inside, same concept as wet wipes basically) and onigiri case (rice balls!). I received a soy sauce container as a gift as well, which is nice because I needed such a thing. I bought a few bento items so I can make myself lunches with all my goodies from Mitsuwa. Hopefully work will go well tomorrow. I'm being talked to about things. Sort of nervous.
Last night:

| nom nom nom air conditioning nom nom nom |
[25 Jun 2009|03:21pm] |
I don't have internet in my apartment for whatever reason the past three days :'( But the air conditioning is fixed at my work! Those templates though, are not. At least there is a sense of urgency now to get them done.
Wasn't feeling good, so to cheer myself up, had breakfast in style

Also I may need help figuring out what I'm going to wear Saturday! Who knew I'd have three outfits I can choose from that have strawberries on them!!!!

| lolita christmas |
[24 Jun 2009|02:52pm] |
I had a shot at a good job, but they turned me down.
I did have a bit of a lolita christmas yesterday...
 More momo's stuff came in but I'm selling 2 things, some Putumayo (selling a black bolero though), and some AP- and cassandra's socks!
I wore one of the momo's dresses yesterday to transformers, which was unfortunately too full of stupid to be able to enjoy.
 My hair was curled but died pretty quickly. I have GOT to find a way to keep up curls now in this weather. It worked before, slowly stopped working as of late. My hair is thinning? Change of shampoo? I have no idea :(
 I tried to make curry yesterday. Mind you I don't cook. I can bake, I can cook eggs and such, but if I haven't seen it done, I can't do it easily. Could not get the curry to thicken. Ah well it still tasted good. And called for bento! I need to work on my presentations skills though :D {goes and buys molds and such for bento!}
Otherwise I'm toughing out the heat. What I wanted to get done is taking a lot longer because I'm a lot slower. Hopefully will still be able to get some things done at home.

Hey girls!!! You have to check this website out. This girl has been doing gorgeous resin jewelry and finally opened a website! I can't wait what other things she comes up with.
Also Chicago folk who would like to get something small and get free shipping? Let me know, I'll put in an order with you :D Here's the site

 A sampling of their goodies :D
Also...guess who just got ANOTHER wedding cake skirt in the color she absolutely wanted for way less than what I paid for the black one.

Yep. This one.
Now I'm dying for a bunch of AP cutsews with their tulle and non-venice lace on them.....

Goodness it's REALLY REALLY hot today. Extremely humid in my work. I forgot how much I hate humidity. :/ Thank god I have the air conditioning in my apartment to recoup. Until I get used to it, the humidity is going to keep me extremely out of it.
I made quite a few posts so far elsewhere, actually! Here are links if you would like to see goodies :D
First of, sales post. I'm selling quite a few things, including what you see here--
 
There is some SUPER cheap stuff here.....hopefully it will sell! I'm needing the money to pay off a few things :'( No more credit card use for me.
Secondly, daily loilta post!
And thirdly, a got_loilta post with the 2nd batch of stuff that I recently got. Actually quite a few things are on route right now. There are just a few more things I need to pay off. Luckily, no big amounts.
I'm hoping to sew a skirt tonight that I've been meaning to make forever and wear it tomorrow to both work and transformers! (Though ideally I use my transformers fabric to make a skirt. That would be just hilarious. I might, who knows........)
Ok now that I've procrastinated, back to work until 5.

[22 Jun 2009|12:00am] |
I'm not going to lie. Despite all the fun I've had in the last four days.....thursday with its mitsuwa trip, friday with its crazy storms, Star Trek in imax, and a rather exciting spin out that resulted in only cracking one back light of the car........saturday with a trip to brookfield zoo and yum tastic ice cream parlor plush horse...and today with its picnic and BBQ.........I'm hellishly nervous about life. I did get an answer from one person out of all the emails I've sent that they will look over my resume. Just one. Apparently people don't have the decency these days to at least answer "please let me know you got my resume" requests. I subscribed to quite a few lolita blogs from JP (mostly anyway) via google reader and egl. I can't help when looking through them to wish that I was applying to the JET program. At this point, I'd probably be extremely happy being in Japan again and being able to teach english. I may actually go for it for the upcoming year as one of my options.
Despite everything I ate today, it turned out quie fine according to weight watchers. Huzzah! Tomorrow I get to find out if it's actually working, as it will have been a week since I joined.

What I wore today. I look a little sad. Meh, some things were said. Trying not to let it get to me, as I don't want to be in a deeper slump than I already am. I may be working all of this upcoming week. But at least there's the strawberry festival and sweedish days!

| Lolita over time and goodies :D |
[19 Jun 2009|08:00pm] |
The lolita over time transition meme was quite fun to do. Here's what I came up with:

Also I didn't post earlier! My new watch :D

Hurray Nordstrom Rack. I really like this watch.
aaaand I forgot to post Arianna's new shoes from Souldoll!

Aren't they absolutely adorable?

| Mitsuwa and court |
[19 Jun 2009|03:06pm] |
Yesterday went off to Mitsuwa. That was my grocery shopping. A shitttttttttttton of supplies was to be had. Bought a few veggies, some freezer goods, but most of it was healthy snack food, or stock basics. Also stuff to flavor rice with. I'm trying to replicate the same kind of eating habits/exercise/lifestyle I had while I was in Japan to lose weight. Hopefully, it shall work! Also I shall be having much yummy japanese food. And I shall be stealing my boyfriend's cookbook. He picked up a decent english one that he found while at Mitsuwa.
 Decifering kana and kanji for the girls :P
 Not even half of the goods. And yes, that's 18 packages of DARS chocolate. I need my chocolate fix every day. One whole package is actually healthier than what I usually eat....thus nearly 3 weeks supplies worth.
I bought some nice books on miniature food/sweet deco too, adding them to my collection :D I really like these because it shows some different techniques than I'm used to. I really should try some of it out!
 The middle one is probably one of the best for obnoxious sweet deco....
Today was a bit crazy so far. I got in my doll Arianna's new body though! Which is awesome because now I can use the box and casing to send the old body out :P HURRAH!
Here she is wearing a Dollheart outfit! Not the best of pictures, but I just had to put her into one of my favorite outfits!
 She can lift her hands like that herself! YAY DOUBLE JOINTED BODIES!!! I had been so annoyed at her old one, it was just so hard to pose. This one is wonderful. And it's strung pretty tightly. I just have to get more elastic chord to use for fastening her head to the body, as all I have is an S hook at the neck and not chord like the old Souldoll bodies.....

I had court today for a stop sign that I did stop at, but was told that I didn't so I got a ticket. The officer wasn't even there, so I was dismissed. There were officers, just not the one who was rather rude to me.
Quick crappy shot of what I wore to court. I was considering wearing my suit but when I saw the weather report, I thought twice on doing something that stupid. Indeed it was pouring from a bucket when I exited Daley plaza. At any rate, even this way I was overdressed. I had to wear my BPN jacket to a)see if I still fit in it, which I do and b) cheer myself up. It worked for both :D

I need to get another of these mirrors and put it alongside this one.......... > < And the watch on my arm.....new watch :D It may be Betsey Johnson :DDDDDDD

| Lolita and work |

Question for you-
Business casual. No jeans basically. What kind of lolita is acceptable. Petti or no petti.
Do you girls wear lolita to work?
