On Sunday I met up with a community member from my Twitch community who was in Taiwan with his family for a few days. We only had a couple hours to meet up so I dressed casually and we went for coffee~
It's been a busy several days for me, so I'm a bit behind on posts! Going out every day can really take a toll.
On Saturday I went to my first brand-hosted tea party by Taiwanese Lolita brand Little Rose Planet! I've known the owner Mei for so long I can't remember when we met any more 😹 One of the girls actually asked me that question at the tea party, which is why I started thinking about it, and realized I have no idea! She's lovely and often collaborates with talented artist Zihlinghuang for prints!
I saw the Little Rose Planet instagram post about the tea party and signed up and paid right away! There were no new product launches or products to buy at the tea party as most brand events have, but I wanted to support anyway!
The location also got changed as the original restaurant didn't want to reserve for such a large group 😾without a down payment. Luckily, the alternate restaurant chosen was one I'd had saved on my Google Maps for a while, so I'm really glad we went there!
They also had a special guest Cathy Cat from Japan (iirc, she said she's German, studied in UK, then moved to Japan) and it was lovely to meet and chat with her too!
Earlier this year I did a random shopping spree on taobao... or two! It's mostly Lolita things and some daily items as well, so I thought I would do an old-school haul post!
2/22 is Japan's National Cat Day as it sounds like "nyan nyan nyan" and also happened to be our February lolita meetup date! So we had the theme of Cat, naturally.
I also discovered I don't have any cat prints... mine are mostly BABY's bears or usakumya, or sweets! My one Putumayo JSK has a subtle print of Alice in Wonderland that includes the Cheshire Cat, so I wore that one~
