coordinate brainstorming: Marquis de Lafayette

hi everyone!

my newest obsession is the musical Hamilton, if you haven't had a chance to check out the original Broadway cast recording or see any clips online, i really urge you to give it a shot! Hamilton brilliantly tells the story of Alexander Hamilton through modern beats and insane lyrics penned by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also performs as Hamilton himself.

one of my favorites in the OBC is Daveed Diggs (pictured at right), who plays both the Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson. in today's post, i will be taking inspiration from his Lafayette look into an ouji coordinate.

review: Baby the Stars Shine Bright Online Shop!

hello everyone :)
in the past year, i have noticed a gradual shift in my wardrobe. a closet that used to be almost exclusively Angelic Pretty is now more full with BABY/AATP pieces than ever before! i credit this to getting a little older, and my tastes changing. when i first started lolita, my favorite brand was Mary Magdalene, then i fell in love with AP, and now, BTSSB is the owner of my frilly heart.

trips & adventures: Japan Festival Boston and NYC

hi everyone!
my coordinate!
i apologize for the span of time in between posts. last month i was sick for a few weeks and i have been keeping busy with Crossfit. because of these reasons, i did not wear lolita much in March or April.


a few Sundays ago i attended the third-annual Japan Festival Boston with the Boston community. i really enjoyed myself - seeing friends who i hadn't seen in awhile and meeting new ones!
